Hi,

Can you verify if the stock camera has video support for you?

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
I installed the previous version after following the unlock procedure. Here, I understand I don't need to go through that process again, but I can get into TWRP and do it from there. If I update from TWRP will this wipe all game data etc (my son might not talk to me for a long time if I do that!). Thanks for help.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] turbodaemon:
Negative on that one. Instant freeze after pushing record.

Any ideas how to address the video camera hard crash and some unity apps crashing?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

- I already have logs for Video Recording crash but I could not look pretty much at them.

- Would you mind listing the applications (Unity) that are crashing for you and -if possible- attach a log of the crash.

Thanks.

Hello,

Does anyone successfully build a kernel from the source?

I'm having problems with building it, no matter what branch I use.

Tested:

cm-12.1

douglas-3.18.140

Fire_HD8_7th_Gen-5.3.6.8

douglas-upstream-release

I'm building it using the douglas_defconfig config:

export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/tom/kernel/aarch64-linux-android-4.8/bin/aarch64-linux-android-
export ARCH=arm64 && export SUBARCH=arm64

make clean
make mrproper
make douglas_defconfig
make -j$(nproc --all)

Every time I get:

(snip)
arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c:1:0: error: -fstack-protector not supported for this target [-Werror]
/*
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

(+ warnings on the same -fstack-protector switch, different files)

My system is Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.

A little guidance will be appreciated!

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ill13:
Long story short, I don't/wont buy anything from amazon app store if I can get it on google play. I'd suggest backing up your worlds and just buying the android version from google play

I have 4 active android tablets and 3 active android phones, all using one google play account. It's a right pain to move amazon apps to different devices. Or to have to buy them twice.

I have 1 copy of minecraft from google play. I have that one copy installed on 8 devices (all registered to me). 3 of them are PC's running a special android emulator app in a virtual machine so that up to 5 of us can all play the same LAN at the same time in a shared world, hosted on that VM.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
It's actually odd because I've found a few things where the play version won't run and crashes (asphalt 8) but the Amazon version works fine. That's why I tried the Amazon version, plus it had the benefit of being a few $$ cheaper.

I managed to get a refund on the Amazon version, bought the play version and it's all working fine now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ill13:
Yeah...On the default amazon rom, some apps can't 'call home' properly. For me it was XCOM: Enemy Within. XCOM wouldn't run because the tablet somehow routes most if not ALL network traffic through amazon's servers and XCOM couldn't verify something.

Amazon wanted me to buy it again through the app store and I felt that was crap idea...but this rom -and outside of the video camera crash and some unity apps failing has been awesome.

When I run the Kindle app on this ROM I get this appearance...

And guys any one tested the 14.1 version?

Really curious if it runs a bit on the 7th gen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] dontpanic-xda:
There's an image in R0rt1z2's section on Android FileHost for 14.1.

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=profile&uid=890129502657598955

But, I'm not sure if that's the correct image. I haven't run across anything official indicating that this file is the correct testing image.

I tried that image, but couldn't get it to run. It was stuck on the initial Amazon logo.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Don't share that image... It still doesn't even boots..

Right now I'm away from computer but once I get back I will continue working on it.

Regards.

EDIT: Deleted zip so more people doesn't flashes it and ends in amazon white logo...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] LanceLot9980:
[MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION] , I've been experiencing a freeze/lag problem for a long time (2 updates back approximately). The tab freezes or lags heavily and then a bunch of ANR messages pop-up (I have 'Show all ANRs' on in Developer Settings). Most of the apps are google apps like play services, store, youtube and occasionally some others like messenger and discord. No one seems to have reported such a problem so I guess something's wrong on my end but I was hoping you could help. Thanks in advance.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

I guess you didn't wipe anything between those updates (data, system, etc)..?

Also, what GAPPs variant are you using (micro, nano, pico)? Keep in mind that if you use big variant like stock or full you will notice several freezes/lag (I just mean it's expected when using those variants).

And, would you mind sending some logs? Those should show the ANR traces of those "freezes/lag"

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] LanceLot9980:
Yes, I updated without wiping anything but the system partition at first but then since the lag wouldn't stop I completely wiped everything and did a clean install.

I'm using the pico GApps package dated 2020-06-03. Also by logs you mean logcats, right? If so, I will try and send them asap.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] LanceLot9980:
Hey, [MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION] . I managed to get a logcat after youtube and system ui crashed. Also I used an app to get the logcat since the computer was off.

I also encountered a random reboot which was also a problem that was accompanied by the freezing and lagging. Basically, after lagging alot the tab would freeze and reboot. This problem was (presumed) gone after the clean install and I didn't bring it up but lo and behold, I encountered it again. BTW I'm using Xposed modules if that helps.

LOS 14.1

Hello Rortiz2, I would like to try out the 14.1 ROM as well. I'm at a point where several apps (airline apps specifically) won't run on this older version of Android. If you could send me a link to your test ROM I'd be happy to try it out. Question for you though, do you also know if there's any chance of enabling the GPS feature in hardware?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] LuziferEngelbert:
I would love to test the rom, if you still need more volunteers.

A pretty basic question - I've installed Lineage and Gapps and need to install Magisk.

For that I'll need to flash it from TWRP, correct?

How do I manage to boot to TWRP? Tried Vol up + power button after shutting the tablet but it just boots to Lineage

Edit : It was power + vol down button
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
It used to work power+vol down, then when you see amazon logo, release vol down a couple of seconds, and then press vol down again. Under the latest lineage OS, this procedure result in shut down the tablet. If you have PC, connect with adb. adb reboot recovery will do it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] nipponsahore:
Thanks for the good ROM [MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION] . Its pretty stable build and works as expected.

Quick question, are you planning updates based on newer version of lineage OS ? I know these things takes time, but just want to know if we can expect any new updates in the coming months?

Once again thanks for the great work :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] joaorb64:
Hi, first of all thank you for the ROM, I'm having a great experience overall.

I installed the ROM and gapps. Everything was running as expected, and Chrome worked as a system app. Even tho I changed my language to Portuguese, it was still in English. Then, I restarted the device, and suddenly Chrome won't work anymore. I did this same procedure multiple times and got to this same point. It doesn't crash if it's a user app, but I wanted it installed as a system app...

The stack trace says chromium_android_linker.so is missing, and I noticed the arm64 version is nowhere to be found. Only the arm version exists, on /lib/ inside Chrome's directory.

Is there something I did wrong or I should do?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] silencery:
First of all, thanks so much for putting this together! I've been flashing android roms for a long time but I'm new to the amazon fire platform, so it's really nice to see such a great level of support. The ROM is very nicely done. Great work.

I have a related question. I've just tried out the ROM (and it's great), but at least several apps I've tried from the official play store are giving the "this item is not compatible with your device" message. The developers state a minimum requirement of Android 4.x, so it's a bit unusual.

Has anyone run into similar issues or have any advice?

Thanks in advance!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] LKJEFoi234:
Thank you for all your hard work. Greatly appreciated. Just curious, why not do 17.1 instead of 14.1? Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

The only reason why I'm going to 14.1 instead 17.1 it's basically because I prefer to have a stable ROM than a buggy ROM knowing we are running legacy lollipop blobs that will lead to a lot of bugs/glitches.

I just mean, once I get 14.1 working fine I will try to bring up 16.0 or 17.1.

You also need to keep in mind my ****ty computer won't let me compile 17.1/16.0 easily...

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] LKJEFoi234:
Oh, I understand. Makes sense. Thanks for explaining.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] JerryBels:
So, I unlocked, flashed this rom, all of it worked out great, thanks :)

I'm having an issue with Magisk and passing the safetyNet check... ctsProfile is always false, which is expected. I tried to modify device fingerprint using Props Config but of course there is no valid fingerprint for this device. I simply wanted to install apps hidden from Google Play if you're not certified...

Hi guys, firstly I’d like to say thank you to the dev team for building this rom - it’s breathed new life into this Douglas!

My question is, when I was running fire os with play store mod, I could download Disney+ from both amazon App Store and google play.

Since installing lineage, Disney+ shows as not available for my device? I’ve tried changing the build.prop but still no luck?

Any ideas? Cheers.

I have been experiencing an issue with this ROM where the screen goes blank randomly. I can swipe up to bring the screen back (as you would to unlock it), but the issue will repeat again. Sometimes if I do this many times it will eventually start working, other times I have to restart.

I checked the screen timeout settings and they aren't set with a low timeout. Moreover I am actively using the tablet when it happens.

I'm unsure how else to troubleshoot it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] drynyks:
I ran into this with a couple apps Netflix being one of them. What I did to get it working was found an archive of old Netflix APKs and tried some older ones until I found one that worked. CarGurus was another app I had to do the same thing. Maybe give an older version of Disney+ a try
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MojUk:
Thanks man, In the end the suggestion of using Aurora worked just fine ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] T0mu:
Hi to all,

I have flashed this lineage build on a fire hd and it's a real pleasure to use instead of the wonky fireos but I have a problem with a specific app infinitytv (italian netflix lookalike).

even on a root and magisk free system, either with gapps or microg, it refuses to run stating rooted or custom ROMs are not supported for digital rights risk of infringement.

while I generally take this kind of terroristic behavior as an hint to throw the app in a virtual toilet, thisi tablet is used by my mother and she needs this app.

just for the sake of it I installed on a mipad 4 with carbonrom/microg and magisk rooted and it works flawlessly.

could it be something linked to rom signature? any idea how can i circumvent this check?

maybe with magisk props module?

any idea is appreciated.

thanks

Hello,

thanks for the great work!

The tablet runs just fine. I have one issue though:

My son loves the app HayDay. When running it, it often lags significantly - only on this device. It was no problem before I installed this rom.

I attach a logcat - can anyone see the reason?

My kid is having trouble with Asphalt 8 again on his kindle. Just wondering if anyone else using this ROM is also having the same problem. Originally, the Google PLay version would install but crash soon after launch. The Amazon version actually installed and ran fine. But now is demanding an update which downloads but then won't install (no reason specified). Anyone else getting this issue?

Nice ROM guys. I just installed it this weekend.

Just a couple of FYIs,

* I was trying different device fingerprints using MagiskHide Props Config. Apparently Walmart's Onn 8 tablet fingerprint passes the SafetyNet check. I got both ctsProfile and basicIntegrity true. Probably not super important for everyone out there, but for anyone who needs it.

onn/ONA19TB002/ONA19TB002:9/PPR1.180610.011/1551232410:user/release-keys

* Also, I couldn't get my Xbox One controller to connect via bluetooth, kept getting an incorrect pin error. Installed an app called Bluetooth Force Pin Pair, and that worked.

First of all, thanks for this Rom.

I would really like to "re-new" my old HD8 I had in a drawer. I searched the thread for some information and I would like some more details.

By the comments the rom seems to working fine (and I think better than the original one) but:

- Netflix should work even if I saw some comment about using old apks to have it working, but not a word about the resolution. Will it work at least in HD?

- Prime video ? Didn't find any clue about APK support and quality.

- Seems Alexa app can't be installed (I have several Echo here)

- Google Assistant should not be a problem (I have also a Google Home first gen)

Any enlightment will be really appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you for great rom and i cant wait for next rom for lineage 14.1. Lots of download limitation with current android 5. I tried the current Lineage 12.1 and install apps named ScratchJr. There is 1 problem that happening which cause the screen cant display the background image properly. Iam not sure it because of the rom or because of the apps. I tried the apps in fire hd 10 (lineage 14.1) it worked just fine.

My question is, can we install fire os again after i change it to the current lineage 12.1? Second, can you help me check what is the problem with the background screen? Sometimes the photo perfect, sometimes got slight distortion, sometimes worse.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] anujdatar:
Does anyone else have volume issues? Some apps have normal volume, and it's too low in others.. I've tried a few volume boosting apps, but they really slow down the tablet and everything freeze..

Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and Spotify are okay, a little low but usable..

Netflix, Plex and a few more apps are almost inaudible..

Not sure if it's an app or device issue.. the audio on these apps was fine on FireOS..
