[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TheSuxor:
Could be that I don't know how to solve the problems I have, but for me not all the Google play applications I want (for my kid) work. Issues vary from validating my authorized purchase to core functionality of applications not working. Some of the applications refer to Android os content and services that either aren't in fire os, are named differently, or have different functionality.

Not to mention that I dislike my son's user experience... He's only 3, quite smart but I've not been able to strike a good balance of protecting him and allowing him to actually use his tablet without learning wierd tricks to access Google play apps.

I'm ok if I have to stay on Fire Os if I can have complete control over profiles, launchers and have a genuine experience using my Google Play applications. Some of the FreeTime stuff is ok... My son might like some of it. But more importantly I want him to have the far superior applications on Google Play which are not currently available on Fire.

Can someone please educate me on getting the GPS to work with google maps, like my phone? My HD 10 7th gen is rooted w/supersu. I have xposed and flashfire installed.

Is a custom ROM really required for this? I tried GPS tethering over hotpot but even that didn't work properly. I wish Amazon had their own proper NAV app to use the GPS chip, could be a bonus to being a prime member. :rolleyes:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Clear data of 4 Google apps. Uninstall and reboot. Make sure nothing of the apps are left in /data/data. If so, delete folders and reboot. When booted again, toggle off location services for about 30 seconds and turn it back on. Then install the 4 APKs in this exact order: gfs_login, gfs, gms, vending. After install wait about a minute or two and reboot then log in. Wait several minutes, watching the two desktop icons. When they flash, the apps have updated. Go to location services and it might be turned off. If so, turn it on and press accept/yes for ALL OPTIONS. If it's turned on, toggle it off for 30 seconds then turn it on and again accept/yes all boxes that appear.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] kferling:
Thanks, although I did not get location prompts at the end. :/

Data was wiped for all 4, and uninstalled. rebooted and verified no data with ES.

Installed google apks in the exact order, waited 2 minutes, rebooted, then logged into playstore.

Went to home screen, saw apps flash after waiting. Went to location services (was off) turned on and no prompts

Turned off, waited 30 secs, turned back on, still no prompts.

Is this any different from your guide here?

Step 6. states "Once all the APKs are installed, open the Play Store and sign into your account and IMMEDIATELY go to settings and TURN OFF auto-updates. "

Perhaps that's what I need to do?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
So I've figured out numerous things that get this closer to a custom rom. I just want to report my progress. As I'm working to get my PC in a good enough shape to run Windows and Linux again, I can't compile from source yet. my biggest issue is space. I need to free a lot up. But that doesn't mean anything.

I have been able to track down a lot of useful old school tools here on XDA. The amount of resources that exist on this site never cease to amaze me. Given what I've been doing to these tablets (the resources are old, 2012 onward), I kept looking in that era for tools to assist in getting us to a rom. In the past week I've been able to do these things, with success but have not tested a rom yet. Amazon has had it a bit more difficult with this device.

- Successfully deodexed the stock ROM 5.6.1.0. This was very easy to do...once I found tool that was compatible with deodexing Lollipop. Apparently it not easy to do.

- Successful library integration and editing of a stock AOSP Gallery3d apk. Fully 100% operational and full picture editing availability. Combine my wallpaper discovery, Amazon Photos is no longer required as a wallpaper or gallery source.

- Successfully addition of other surprises ;)

- Figured out how Amazon restocks the ROM on a reflash. In the update.bin is a .dat file. When compiled, produces the system files in whole fresh stock. This can be edited then recompiled back into a system.img or can be used to build a ROM .zip style. That also means once I can build from source, a real ROM can be built.

- Will be pre-rooted with busy box.

- Viper4Android ;)

- Ad blocking from open source free ware.

- Includes my framework and Settings mods.

Any questions please feel free to ask.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] FuNKSioN:
Have a new 2015 HD 10. Will definitely be following your progress :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Or a severe lack of progress...

I have been at it for hours and hours and I am no closer than I was when I made my last post. I've looked at dozens of updater-scripts and the mount points are no different than the Fire 7, but it just won't flash a zip and when the rare chance comes along that the zip does flash, booting doesn't get past the white Amazon logo (first power on logo). I finally managed to get nearly all of the script right, and now when I add assert getprop for device ID verification, it rejects it despite the fields being properly filled out. I'm not giving up, I just need to figure out why.

On a side note, I have been able to do a switcheroo on the system, sorta. In trying to further mod the settings apk, I have been able to use a settings apk from an AOSP rom to replace FireTabletSettings. There is a trick...uninstall the stock FireTabletSettings APK, wipe the caches and dalvik, and took a resigned AOSP settings apk (test key signed), installed it as a user app then converted it to a system app. It installs fine, but I can only get half of it to work. I haven't tried with the framework or systemUI yet because I haven't been successful with the settings.

Back to the drawing boards...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TechNash:
Try digging in files. I guarantee that Amazon took a very similar approach as Samsung did, requiring you to flash a break encryption zip.

I would try to help, as I've made several AOSP roms, but that was when Android 4.4 was the newest and you could compile it with 4 gb of ram.

Once I upgrade or get a new PC, I will most definitely install Linux, and try to help this forum.

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

Haven't been up-to-date.

Do we have TWRP? If not how are you flashing the files?

I'd be open to porting TWRP to the HD 10 and maybe the 8 if we needed.

Reason being TWRP backups can be converted to a flashable .zip file, meaning that once you've gotten all the AOSP apps working (settings, gallery, etc) you could theme it, debloat it, deodex it, and everything else then save it and convert it to a zip. Would save people the time of doing it, and would be one step forward.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Not sure about the encryption. It has to be a script problem, or the system partition won't accept zips and that's the barrier. However if I just flash the system directory instead, everything works fine. I can flash stuff into it just fine that way, but seems any time I go the way of the partition, I can't win. Flashing your own system image works too. However I haven't been able to get one to flash if I modify it. So I can decompile a system.img add to it, remove items and recompile it and it won't flash.

I am using flash fire to flash zips. We still have a locked bootloader so twrp isn't a likely option.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MajorBoobage:
I mean, if PC performance is an issue I can give you access to a brand new xeon if it means there will be a custom ROM out.

Been thinking about buying the Fire HD 10 this black Friday and flash the Amazon garbage out, and was amazed to see none exist even though it has been a year since they figured out the rooting.

This will be an outstanding value if it was possible...

[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] Andrew Reeson:
Firstly I will apologise for my lack of knowledge. I had no prior knowledge of how android works, and I have been learning as I go.

Here is my situation: I wanted to remove guest mode from my Moto G5s Xt1797 so I decided to root it. I followed the following process:

Test everything on my old Moto G. Succeed and try the same with the Moto G5s

Attempt to use KingRoot. Fail

Unlock Bootloader

Flash TWRP

Install SuperSu

Install Root Check

Rootchecker says "Device is not rooted"

Reinstall SuperSu. Same result

Attempt to install Magisk. Fail because SuperSu is installed

Attempt to uninstall SuperSu. Fail because phone doesn't think it is installed

Give up and try KingoRoot. After two hours it reached 39% and I stopped it and went to bed

Check Root Check. It says "Device is rooted"

Remove guest mode using BuildProp Editor

Success!

Check Root Check. It says "Device is NOT rooted"

At this point I left it because I had accomplished my goal. However, a few day later I noticed a problem

...

Realised my camera doesn't work

Do some research, find that the kernel is the most likely problem

Install this kernel. (I didn't realise it was incorrect)

Now camera and wifi don't work

Try flashing another incorrect kernel. Fail to install

Give up on the whole thing and try to restore to stock rom using this guide. Fail at "mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin"

Accidentally wipe phone. Can't access wifi to reinstall anything

Give up on that

Create backup using TWRP

Install Lineage 14.1. Camera and wifi work, but I have no idea how to transfer personal information across. I can't even call my wife because I haven't memorised her number.

Realise that Lineage has guest mode, the very thing I was trying to remove

Restore Backup

Try to reinstall stock ROM using .bat file as in this guide

Failure. Receive "(bootloader) image size exeeded partition limits" ("exeeded" spelled incorrectly).

Camera and wifi still don't work

Remove SIM to put in old phone, realise SIM card is wrong size, replace in Moto G5s

Now the camera, wifi and SIM don't work

Start losing sleep over it all

Give up

Write this post

In a nutshell:

MotoG5s

Bootloader unlocked

TWRP installed

SuperSu semi-successfully installed

Wrong kernel installed

Camera, wifi and SIM reader not working

I would like to just completely return to stock, albeit with guest mode still disabled. I don't care about removing bloatware at this point, I just need to repair my phone. Please help. I'm sorry that I have nothing to offer in return, except my love.

Hey um sorry if i got your hopes up with this reply as I can't actually help much and am also not very informed on android phones and tech etc but am learning as I go. I just wanted to ask, for my own phone issues I'm trying to resolve: is your phone a motog5s or a mota g5s plus? Where did you fin the download for LineageOS for a motog5s and could I please have a link? If it's only for a g5s plus, can I have your opinion on if you think this would be compatible with the motog5s?

I have the Moto G5s. NOT plus.

I found the LineageOS download on this G5s forum. https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3727918.

It worked fine for me. The only issue I noted was full screen video tended to glitch non stop

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] arch_geek:
Just download the Substratum app from the Play Store and a theme with some font included. Just make sure that the theme supports Oreo and then install the theme.

If it's just fonts you want to replace, try some app such as TypeFace.

Already have flux, compound and those have more than 3 or 4 fonts using from past years.There is no such option in the substratum.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] thekevman:
Hello,

I've been digging around for a bit but have yet to be able to find an answer. Is it possible to record using a constant frame rate with the Moto Z Play? When I record using the stock app in 1080p, 720p or 4K it encodes using a variable frame rate. This is fine on the phone until I try to edit it. I then get gappy playback after it re-encodes.

The phone has the ability to record in 720p @ 120fps which is recorded at a true 30fps but then I don't get any audio.

I've browsed some threads on here about the ability to enable 1080p @ 60fps after rooting your phone and making some changes. I have not yet rooted my phone but before I went down that rabbit hole I wanted to confirm I can get a constant frame rate.

I have also tried a hand full of third party recording apps and none of them seem to be able to override the phones desire to record with a variable frame rate.

Any help would be appreciated. I don't understand why they would chose to use a variable frame rate. I've never seen this before on any other device. I get it would save video file size by dropping frames, but the sensor and the phone can obviously handle the bit-rate of a constant frame rate at 720p or 1080p if it can record 4k at 40MB/s or 720p @ 120fps.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IonGeneral:
Hey.

I have noticed an increase in battery draining since I rooted my device. My phone lasts for an hour and a half before it gets down to 30% and that's just messaging on Facebook Messenger and scrolling Facebook itself from 100%. I tried full unroot via SuperSU but it only made my phone reboot loop. I didn't do a traditional root like most do by using custom rooted ROMs, all I did was follow the instructions for a only rooting for root permissions.

That being said however, because I haven't got access to a computer at the moment and because SAMMobile takes 4 hours to download the stock official firmware I can't restore it. - My biggest concern is if I use Flashify or TWRP to restore the original boot thing I'm afraid it'll put my device into an infinite boot loop and break it. :( I have a file called "G925FXXU5EQBG_G925FVFG5BG_G925FXXU5EQAC_HOME.tar.md5" downloaded but unsure if it's the original stock file or not. My main question is that if I restore the original firmware using an app on my phone (if even possible) will it boot loop?

Not able to 'Enable' Samsung Billing.

My Device: Samsung Note 9 (SM-N960F/DS) on Android 9 One UI

Baseband: N960FXXU2CRLT

Firstly, I'm not able to locate 'Samsung Billing' app (ver 5.0.18.0) anywhere on my phone.

When I want to purchase something on the Galaxy Store, it takes me to the 'App Info' section of Samsung Billing app and asks me to 'enable' the app. However, nothing happens when I touch on 'Enable' (though when I touch the Force Stop' button next to it, it works).

I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling & reinstalling updates, restarting phone, etc. but no use (even after soft reset).

Also, and annoyingly, the only way I can get to Samsung Billing (that too only 'app info' section) is only by trying to purchase something in the Galaxy Store, otherwise this app is untraceable.

Any fixes ??
