[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
So this would be something that would build those modules or what not, based on the values set in that file? (Am I even close lol)

So I've been fooling around with the most recent fireOS (not the one from a few days ago). Not looking pretty. Amazon patched at least two of my hacks in the framework. The screensaver: although it is active inside the framework something inside the settings APK stops it from appearing in the menu options and therefore stops the activity from launching even when the basic dreams APK is installed. I have not yet been able to track down what is causing it. Clearly they have another folder somewhere or folders with restrictions when certain activities or services launch. I was only able to get it to work when I disabled signature verification in the package manager to install a random settings application to see where the cause was. So it's definitely in the settings apk, but where I don't know. They've also made it so when you add certain fragments that link to certain settings, even if they are right, don't work anymore. Everything looks to be in place on this side. If I had to take a guess without digging into it they probably changed quite a few things in the smali code. So when you attempt to add some of those settings fragments they break other things such as developer options and other secure settings that even when you change them in a root shell still have no effect.

With that said on the last version of fire OS again now the one that came out a few days ago, I've been able to pretty much reactivate most of the settings again with the exception of the screensaver. And before anybody asks yes this is on a ROM it has not been deodexed. So it seems they've made it much more difficult to reactivate some of those settings. I'll try the best I can but at this point given how close we are I really just can't wait for a custom ROM. At this point anything would be precious. It really is a shame that for this chip, mt8173, the only ROMs I can find in an attempt to Port or use any of the applications in them all really do kind of suck. And some of them are quite bloated and even filled with some questionable apps. What a shame. So I hope that in whatever capacity when we do get a custom ROM for this we make it badass. If I can get my hands on the Amazon fire TV stick or whatever it is that recently got the Miracast protocol, I can figure out what it is they added in terms of the buildprop and other values and files to get the stuff to work. I really am quite anxious to see this. Which brings me to the project config file. Some of the wfd settings are in that file. Mediatek has their own integration of Miracast. lucky for the guys who have the HD 8 because I have said for quite a few years that it was all set up for Miracast since day one. Unfortunately mine has seen its better days.

PS if anyone knows where to pick up any cheap bricked Amazon tablets 8 inch or more please shoot me a link and a private message? Please and thank you.Is there a link to the firmware that came out a few days ago yet or has anyone at least DD the system image? Do I really have to reactivate the ota app just to grab it? (By the way that is kind of fun to watch when you have root access being able to actually control the buttons in it. It is a good way to get some raw updates from Amazon regardless of their form. I've always been interested to see the incrementals they push along almost constantly.

I'll work on the optimized firmware next.
