OK guys, thanks for your nice input on the unbrick topic but realy this is not the appropriate place to talk about it.

You can find above a link to the dedicated topic, here it becomes off-topic moreover, the users who subscribed here won't benifit much unlike those who are realy interested and can be found there.

I am not going to delete your posts but I'd say, please don't force me to do so if further non development discussion continues.

Thank and enjoy the forums!

:)

Virtual machines, live distros, bootloaders have nothing to do with this topic. There is a forum dedicated to this already.

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/fire-hd-8-2018-downgrade-unlock-root-t3894256

Please stop spamming this one with discussions regarding unlocking the bootloader and flashing a new recovery. They have nothing to do with lineage 14.1 on the 2018 Fire 8 and it's growing tiresome.

Beta 2.0 fixed Plex

I installed the latest release over Beta 1.9 (Wiped system & cache, left data intact) and it fixed Plex, the one app that wouldn't run. Thanks a ton!

Kindle Fire HD 8 7th Gen

Will this rom work with the Kindle Fire HD 8 7th Gen?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
No
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] spelcheck:
It will not because this rom is built specifically for Fire HD 8 2018 (karnak). Fire HD 8 2017 is codenamed "douglas" and the highest version available for that device is 12.1.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] xaudiblex:
I have a similar issue. I usually turn on and off airplane mode and it seems to work fine after that.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Did you do a dirty flash?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] xaudiblex:
No, fresh root and fresh install. I am on the October build with the headphone fix. Tried the build before 2.0 and rolled back due to some of my apps crashing.

So flashed the rom, which version of magisk is recommended? Also the dpi seems a little too small, when in settings you can see the settings page doesn't fit the whole screen. 180 dpi seems to be good here.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Latest magisk works fine

Latest is fine, but make sure to follow OP's steps on installing because otherwise you will soft brick

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Not the ROM (me thinks). Although not my daily driver I used for a bit and did not note any instability or unexpected behaviors.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] oblivioncth:
Thanks for the great rom. This and the 14.1 Suez build have really made my 8 and 10 tablets reliable as well panels, unlike how crap they were on Fire OS.

One thing though that really would be icing on the cake though is the DDTW feature. The 2017 10 doesnt have the setting at all because I dont think its hardware supports it. I was excited however to see the setting present on the 2018 8, but like SalsaBeard noted it doesn't actually function.

I just want to clarify what you meant in the post I quoted. Do you mean that you will be trying to get the feature working in the 16.1 Pie build only once it is sufficiently stable? Or did you mean that you plan to work on the feature for both builds but you are just focusing on getting Pie stable first.

I flashed this build (14.1) onto my 8 first because it looked like it had been developed a bit further/was more stable which is obviously important for a wall pannel that needs to consistently work and be responsive to be useful; however, I will gladly try 16.1 if that is where you plan on implementing tap to wake. I know the feature is mainly dependent on kernel changes, but I'm assuming the kernels between these builds are different.

I just want to know which thread to watch for progress on this feature if you ever get to it.

Thanks again.

Rooted?

One of my apps tells me that it can't run as my tablet is rooted. Is there root included in the image? If not, can I do something to convince the app the tablet is not rooted?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
As far as I k ow LienageOS has it's own root binary so root is kinda "included in build". Flash magisk and enable magiskhide for that app. Also install props module from it and change ctsprofile to Walmart Onn 8
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ymcan:
Sorry for my ignorance, but can I flash magisk after I have started the tablet, or should it be done before starting it for the first time? (Either is fine, I just have never done that bit before.)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Unlike gapps, magisk can be flashed at any time

Aurora not installing apps. Vanilla music/Chrome not creating shortcut on home screen

Issue 1

I didn't see anyone with this issue. Aurora saying "installing" but not installing apps. I tried different apps, installing right after download, installing from downloads, all with the same result.

Issue 2

I use Vanilla music player. I tried to add shortcut of tracks to the home screen but nothing is added. Same issue with Chrome when adding shortcut of url to the home screen. I suspect it's the same issue but I don't know what's broken. Fireos also doesn't add to home screen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
While (root) cause and potential remediations could likely be identified with time & effort, the most efficient/effective course of action is usually a wipe (click 'advanced'; all partitions except internal storage) and fresh install. Both tasks are easily accomplished from TWRP.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ceea:
Well, it IS a fresh install. I just rooted it, installed the OS, installed f-droid, and installed vanilla from f-droid.

The aurora issue is weird. I can install from the downloaded .apk but not from within aurora.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Welp, think you already called it. Most testing/experiences on this ROM utilize some form of GAaps package which typically includes the Play Store. Lots of stuff backed into those packages.

I'm not being critical of FOSS or any of the tools/techniques you're employing. Simply putting context around the issue as few (if any) have reported similar difficulties.

In your shoes I'd still go for the fresh install. Quick, easy and often provided a solution without understanding root cause. Akin to rebooting a misbehaving PC. Good luck.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ceea:
Are you saying install OS, install gapps, then install from google play? I'm trying to bypass gapps because that seems to be where people had issues. And also I only need 1 app, music. It's a kid's tablet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Give it a shot. GApps itself is not an issue. Go with Pico or Nano for you needs. You can sideload the few app(s) of interest. No need to register with Google or use the Play Store...although there's nothing wrong with going that route.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ceea:
Same result. Wiped everything. Installed gapps pico, arm 7.1. Wiped dalvik cache and cache. Installed f-droid. Installed vanilla music player. It doesn't have .apk to sideload. Its github points to f-droid download,
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ymcan:
Finally worked out how to do this, but the app I am trying to use (Salesforce) is still telling me the device is rooted. Is there something I need to do before starting this app? Or should it simply be a matter of installing magisk, enabling magiskhide for the app, and changing the fingerprint to the suggested device above?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Can you check safety net inside magisk?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ymcan:
It says:

SafetyNet Check Success

ctsProfile: true

basicIntegity: true
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Ok, so magisk hide is working properly. I guess it's just that app that has other methods of root/custom ROM detection
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ymcan:
I don't need root on this device. Is there anyway of removing it completely?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
I'm not sure. For magisk you just flash uninstaller in twrp. Idk how to remove lineage SU binary
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Unfortunate. Check if Play Store installation works (create a fake Google account if you can't stomach using your own). Might try a different launcher (I'm partial to Nova) if home screen icons are the only hangup. If still no love ya have a one-off situation influenced by variables that have yet to surface.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ymcan:
I have managed to sort. Thank you so much for your help, it is now working as expected.

There is a flash-able zip file on the Lineage OS website to remove the su binary, flashing that resolved the problem.

If anyone else comes across this, have a look here: https://download.lineageos.org/extras.

Thank you for all your help.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Oh God, how could I forget su removal add-ons. My bad, didn't knew they existed for Los14 too.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Did anyone succeed by changing boot animations? If yes, is there a specific way I should do it or just replacing bootanimation.zip is enough?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DragonFire1024:
I'm not sure how lineage ROMs operate in regards to the boot animation binary. On stock fire OS I had to replace the binary in /system/bin...but also had to find one that wasn't manipulated.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Yeah ik how to change bootanimation, it's located under /system/media, I asked because I don't want it to bootloop, as we already have issues with magisk installing directly from OS. While typing this I realised it only affects boot.img so probably changing animation will work. Will let you guys know if this works or not
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] deathblade200:
could always just make a full twrp backup and test it worst case scenario it bootloops and you just have to restore the backup
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] gregd72002:
Just an observation re my problems with WiFi, after wiping all the partitions and reinstalling fresh - it is much better. I still see an occasional glitch but nothing serious that would require a reboot.

I also noticed that the tablet got sluggish... turned out I installed too many applications with background data refresh enabled. Went to [settings ->data usage->wifi data usage] and disabled background data usage for most of them. It now works faster than ever! :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Ok, so I tested flashing boot animation from both magisk and TWRP. Both worked fine. The only thing is that my magisk script uses new Magisk Module template, although old templae shouldn't have any problems, I can't guarantee that they will work
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:

****ANNOUNCEMENT****

posted the new release for this ROM .
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ymcan:
Do need to manually download and install this ROM? I remember that on my old phone running lineageOS I could see the updates under system updates, and clicking on them would automatically download and install them with TWRP. Just asking as I have almost 20 of these devices in our organisation, and recalling them all to update them would be a bit of pain.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
No auto update (OTA) capability as this is technically an unofficial build. You'll need to manually update each device.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Typhoon_Master:
I can't get root access:

* wiped everything

* installed:

---> lineage-14.1-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-karnak.zip

---> addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip

---> open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20200212.zip

* set root-access to "Apps" in the settings

... yet every app is telling me, it has no access to root.

Any suggestions?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ollion9:
Pre-installed E-Mail app "keeps stopping", camera app freezes after taking a picture. Opera and general speed of the device has been improved though, root works and other apps like Open Camera make the broken pre-installed ones obsolete so thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Kaijones23:
Try flashing the lineageos addon for su https://download.lineageos.org/extras or use magisk
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Typhoon_Master:
as i mentioned i already did flash "addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip"

removing linage su-addon and installing magisk v20 results in two green icons in the magisk-app but i can not set root in the settings and apps which demand root do not do the job either. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Kaijones23:
What app are you using that does need root?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Typhoon_Master:
after wondering why adaway (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.adaway/) is not recognizing root, i installed root checker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en) which does not recognize root either.

they don't even ask for permission. note: this is also a symptom if you install a wrong su-addon package. (e.g. su-addon 14.1 on lineageos 15) but i am pretty sure i got the right one since the rom is 14.1 and i also downloaded su-addon 14.1 from the official site.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Kaijones23:
Try using magisk the latest version and is your devloper option called force apps to external to be on? That may be the issue if you have the sdcard installed
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Typhoon_Master:
when i wipe everything, and install the latest magisk (v20) it is the same result, but one difference: the root-access setting in the developer-options are not there. (those where i can now set to apps only/adb only/both/none)

apps however can not access root.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Kaijones23:
Ok since magisk is installed it disabled the root addon in the developer options you may need to install the latest one v20.3 and open the app and make sure the app is enabled for root access.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Typhoon_Master:
wow, it does work now and i don't know why. (i used v20.3 also before)

thank you for your help! :)

Netflix

I've seen a few people mention that Netflix works for them out of the box. I, on the other hand, can't get it to work. It neither shows up in the playstore, nor does it work when I install it from apkmirror (device not compatible). I've tried using MagiskHide and even removing Magisk all together to no avail. The only thing I've left to try is changing my fingerprint but some comments here seem to suggest this is not necessary. Any tips? Would it work if I remove root entirely or does that not make a difference?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] luniz7:
You need to install Aurora Store through Fdroid.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] fragrantvegetable:
Wow, thanks! That worked. Though I'm not entirely sure why. Shouldn't it be the same if I download Netflix manually from apkmirror?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] luniz7:
I’m not really sure, just taking a guess, Aurora store probably has some dependencies that are missing in the ROM build to make it work properly. Just a guess though.

hello, sorry for noob questions. I just installed TWRP but i have a hard time figuring things :

what Gapps to install 32 or 64 bits ? 7.1 pico is enough if i use f-droid mainly ?

if i need magisk, where do i find the correct file to flash ? Stable Magisk Version: v20.3 ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Utoixx:
Gapps ARM for you not ARM64!

Go to magiskmanager website, download .zip file and install by TWPR!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
These things are not hard to figure out:

- read the OP; most of what you need (including links) can be found there

- Magisk: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] truk_:
well, thanks for answer. But still could not find any information on the architecture of the rom. (it's like my first android device... except a ****ty phone years ago)

I have been able to flash the rom alone without gapps or magisk for now, i'll see if need any of this in the future. It's working well and i could not find any default.

Thanks for answer and the work done on this rom.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
- In the case that you're still interested in flashing G-Apps or you still didn't figured it out, you should flash arm version as karnak is running of a 32 bit based system.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ransack:
This ROM works really well, nice job guys. I like this tablet a lot, especially considering the price it was. The screen is just the right size and the resolution is acceptable for watching DirecTV, and now that the volume issue is fixed it's great to use this thing as a little TV on the window sill when I was the dishes. And the screen is large enough that in landscape mode you can type with both hands on the on-screen keyboard.

The Dolby Atmos works fine for me, in fact I disabled the CM Audio Service and the other audio manager, AudioFX or whatever it was, because the Dolby performed much better.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Grauchi:
Hi!

Thanks for the ROM, I am trying it right now and I'm pretty happy. Sick and tired of Amazon ecosystem and dealing with disabling things to get a mediocre tablet.

Probably noob question: I am trying to implement a dark theme by using Substratum. No matter which theme I try (I tried three) changes do not apply after reboot. I've read about Substratum working with Lineage 14.1 but I'm afraid this ROM is somehow different.

Should I uninstall themes and Substratum and forget about everything? I just want the tablet to be dark mode...:)

Thanks again!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Kaijones23:
Lineage 16.0 has a dark theme already installed by going to display and then go to themes
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Grauchi:
I know, I've read about it. But I installed this 14.1 version, that's why I asked. Does 16 work fine with Fire HD 8? Should I switch or stay? I mean, Dark Theme is not something NECESSARY...

Thanks again for your work, mate!
