Play store pushed an update to Gboard last night that was causing it to crash. I saw the crashes, went into play store and sure enough there was another update. I'd bet if we looked at the changelog we'd see back to back versions. As for the others, unknown but wanted to point out that gboard got a bad update (I actually saw this on suez last night).

Edit: Checked versions and Gboard - the Google Keyboard 8.9.14.285858165 was posted December 16, 2019 and is the most recent stable version. On APKMirror at least, they published a beta about 10 minutes later. Fact is update was posted at 9:55pm last night and that's right when the crashed started happening (even after reboot) AND when I went to play store there was an update to apply. They screwed it up for sure, and I'm probably on their beta right now. Wouldn't be surprised if they allowed beta in order to push the fix, and just call it a beta.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Thanks mate, gonna install beta

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Yeah, unfortunately, neither beta or old versions work, I may be wrong but I believe this has something to do with kernel, maybe you 3.18.19 is the best kernel release?

That link doesn't make sense,I already tried clearing data and cache and it would start crash after 30 seconds. I also tried beta and older, December 10 version and still no luck. I believe it has to do something with the Rom itself. It can be a kernel problem or even a large display problem as mentioned above
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Had the same problem on another Amazon device (3rd gen HDX) yesterday after updating gboard. Clearing cache didn't do it; I was reluctant to flush all data as that would clobber customizations. Returning to the Play Store surfaced a new gboard update; applying that fixed the problem.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Don't know man, even older versions don't work. I'm gonna try getting December 10 version from apkmirror and then updating to new version from Google Play. If that will work then I'm finally free from SwiftKey hell. Did anyone had issues with Tapatalk 8.6.5?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Be sure to clear cache/data from Google Play Services as well followed by an immediate reboot. Next step would be a full wipe/reinstall of ROM and GApps package of choice. I hate the latter solution as it addresses a minor rattle with a hammer w/o identifying root cause. Good luck.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
I kinda started thinking that it's Gapps issue, will try out everything, if nothing works gonna reinstall ROM with December 18 gapps this time
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Curosity, which GApps package (nano, mini, etc)? My goto is nano which fits nicely in most system partitions. Other Google properties can be added from the Play Store as needed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
I used pico because it's the most minimum that I need, will try out nano December 18
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Pico is fine provided you don't want any of the functionality included with Nano and above that is not obtainable via Play Store. Good luck.

I just wasted my time by reinstalling the whole system and that gave me nothing, however I found a way to make it work. First of all I set display size to "Largest" in settings, and guess what, it worked lol. Second I set keyboard size to mid-tall and set my display to "Larger" and voila, it worked. It's kinda lame that Google didn't optimise their own app to work with large screens

I was going to post that the headphones fix for the LOS 16 ROM works just fine for your LOS 14 ROM, too:

https://github.com/workit247/karnak/raw/master/karnak_LOS160_headphonefix_149.zip

...and then I noticed you just released another full version of your LOS 14 ROM, with this fix included.

Still, it might be handy to have the link separate for those who don't wish to reflash their current Lineage 14 karnak ROM.

Thanks for all your work so far, Kaijones23!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Reverse-anastomosis:
The fix is in this thread.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] spelcheck:
You shouldn't be using the (very alpha) LOS16 headphone fix on 14. It may work, but it's overkill and also might not work in certain cases. You should be using the headphone fix that's developed specifically for 14. Comment 556 in this thread.

I get that the file was in the repo, but there are good reasons I didn't post it, especially into a thread for los14.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Tigger31337:
You're right!

While the LOS16 flash does work flawlessly on LOS14 (for me, at least), it is overkill.

I confirmed that /system/etc/audio_device.xml is sufficient, as you've already noted.

Thanks for all your work and contributions, much appreciated! :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Not sure that's a fully accurate assessment as owners of other large format devices would certainly be screaming if Gboard behaviors mimicked your experience. More likely an anomaly with the stock (Amazon) kernel which probably isn't optimized for Google products. Saw plenty of that on earlier Amazon tablets that had much broader custom ROM support along with tweaked kernels.

I have a flashable patch on the way to bump up volume in speakers and headphones, but if going the DDP route what you're looking for would be "DDP repey6 edit TWRP"

https://xdaforums.com/android/software/mm-p-dolby-digital-plus-arise-20181115-t3868192

You'll want the MM-P 20181123 version.

As xinto wrote DAP is different, but only that it's older. One benefit of using the older version is you will get slightly more volume boost, and you won't run into an issue where in some cases when watching 5.1 audio, the speakers would be playing only the surround channels (mostly in Plex). The con is that it's not as pretty, not as new and doesn't have an uninstaller.

Link to old DAP. https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=13100
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Xinto:
Will your patch work alongside DDP or do I have to use AML? or it won't work at all?

Alongside anything, it'll be at the mixer level upstream from everything else.

I installed both DAP and DDP, DAP3.5 gives me louder boost.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] spelcheck:
Good to know DAP has an uninstaller. I might start recommending it more. I forgot earlier, a benefit to DDP is that it includes widgets for fast-switching between presets, though I rarely if ever use it.

Many custom ROMs will not permit direct installation of Google Play Games from the Play Store. You may have got an incompatible build from whatever you downloaded the apk. Best grab a fresh copy from APKMirror.

Update:

Cooking Fever worked for me, Donut Maker crashes on boot. As OP mentioned, some games (and apps) just won't work on custom ROMs. The reason for Donut Maker at least is the lack of libwvm.so, which is a DRM-related file and probably can't be built.

I thought by reading your posts that you couldn't get Play Games to load or install at all. Oh well instructions may help someone. ::shrug::

I took a crack at it and was able to install a version from December 2017, then updated it to newest version when it prompted me to on load. Then clicked around and was able to play games.

The version that successfully bootstrapped and allowed update to newest Google Play Games:

Disney+ ?

I'd like to install Disney+, but it doesn't show up in Google Play. Reading up, this probably has to do with SafetyNet. I'm reading about Magisk, but never used that before. Can anyone point me in the right direction? (the Search on this forum doesn't seem to work right now unfortunately, so I might be asking a very noob question, feeling a little lost here).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Michajin:
It could be that the tablet isn't on the list of compatible devices. you could sideload it...

I use Magiskhide props for CTS, Disney shows up on my mine. I have not checked with safetypatch installed, because i was getting a vendor mismatch on boot with that module.

Safetypatch - i use a google nexus 9 (wifi) as the fingerprint.

You will need to enable terminal (or download one) and install busybox (meefik) or other works, open app and install

I was able to install using these instructions:

www. androidsage .com/2019/11/23/download-latest-disney-1-1-5-apk-update-with-bug-fixes-for-all-android-devices/

It's 3x apks that you'll need to install using 'split installer' app. It's not as easy as installing a single apk.

Common issue with custom ROMs is that specific apps won't show up in play store. My advice is not to put too much effort into making them show in play store but instead just get the apks, normally from apkmirror or other legitimate apk site. You'll only be installing it once, so why worry about play store.

This doesn't guarantee it'll install or even run, but it'll be a start. At times you'll have to do trial and error with different versions, and sometimes they just won't work period.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] spelcheck:
Could you be more specific on what you mean by 'crashes on start', do you mean on start of the app before login, after login, after clicking play?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] emphyriox:
It crashes immediately after tapping the Disney+ icon
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] spelcheck:
At times like this, before digging yourself too deep, make a backup of what you have then wipe (cache, system, data) and clean flash the rom and gapps. Install only Disney+ and see if it works. If it does work, then start installing your other apps and do whatever customizing you tend to do but test as your go. This way you'll figure out what's breaking it.

If it doesn't work on a clean flashed install, we might be able to provide some tips to get it working, but I can tell you that it should be working for you and something that you've done is causing it to crash on launch.

I'm confident it works, but you need to start clean in order to find out what's breaking it.

EDIT: Also try newest and previous lineage build, as bugs may be introduced or fixed between versions.

The disney+ issue appears to be related to 2019-12-16 build. On this build disney would open but no video (black screen with sound), I believed this to be the OMX issues, i flashed the OMX fix and then Disney was crashing at opening. I then wiped my system and went back to 10-06-19 and disney works fine.

Looks like Firmware release [12-16-19]beta 1.9 Latest: has re-introduced the same bugs, "Google Chrome/Hangouts Dialer crash" as before the "Lineage OS release 10/6/19".

This is excellent info ^ good work. TIL I'm definitely a build behind o.O Will grab logs on 12-16 build, that's very helpful that you did that test on both builds.

For newbies I'd still stay away from Magisk and specifically propsconfig (spoofing your device) unless you have a good reason to do so. Doing it just to get a few apps to show up in the play store search for that one search to install it is IMO way overkill (and can cause more issues than it's worth).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] thewanderinganon235:
I tested out Disney+ on the newest build and it seems to work perfectly for me. This is a clean flash if that is of any help. I did NOT however, spoof my device, instead I installed Aurora store through FDroid and installed Disney+ through that. If anyone having issues would be willing to test, uninstall Disney+ completely, remove any spoofing, and install through there. Here are also the 3 apks that Disney+ installs: anonfile.com/n6jfzbI0n7/Disney_zip . I can only guess that maybe spoofing your device also changes how Disney+ is built.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] SHKaminski:
Apps Crashing Due to System DPI Settings

I've had several apps that crash on start due, apparently, to the display settings (HD 8 running 14.1 with GApps and Magisk 20).

Observations:

1. The apps affected include:

Chrome

GBoard

Clock

Netflix

Flipboard

NY Times

Fitbit

and maybe others I've forgotten​

2. After checking the logcat, most, if not all, of the errors involve a display error such as

"android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file: Error inflating class Imageview" or an error drawing a particular resource.

3. Changing the DPI would solve the problem with some of these apps, but inconsistently. For example, some apps would work with the "default" DPI. Others would work with a smaller or larger DPI. Some would work not work and then begin working with no settings changes. Some would not work with any DPI, except for the exception below.

4. The only DPI setting under which all apps work is the "largest" DPI setting. Although this setting is acceptable for this tablet (which is for my 91-year-old mother), it obviously is not ideal.

Does anyone have any possible solutions or work-arounds?

Thank you.

This is good information but we really need to know specifically which apps are crashing at which display setting, otherwise we won't know whether or not we've fixed it.

Hi, I am looking at this solution, how do I find out the display DPI setting that is in use (or set it to 240 as you have)? When I tried changing "smallest width", the font size increased A LOT. Should I somehow compensate this by changing the display size in settings to the smallest? I am working with the default configuration after installing Lineage 14.1.

Edit: Well I tried changing the display size and this is linked to smallest width.... so when I change one the other moves proportionally.
