Hi [MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION], caught a crash try to using web video caster today.

Here is the logcat, please take a look.

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Useless log.

I need the full one.

Hi all,

Going to release new build today.

[MENTION=5070291]mrblack1134[/MENTION] Monument Valley seems to be fixed ;)

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
We have to start working on it, but (once again), it will take some time. In the meantime I recommend you to use bluetooth headphones or something like that.​
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Lam3a:
If you don't mind the bulk, headphones work with a USB adapter, like this : https://i.imgur.com/N46cl7x.jpg
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Kctucka:
That's a flagship level feature on a budget device :p
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] mileyrock:
do you think one day we'll be able to get marshmallow and nougat roms running along with fully customizable roms in the future?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Guys, please don't start asking this type of questions.. We don't like ETA.

We want a lollipop stable ROM first. Then we will decide what to do.

Thanks to [MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION] and [MENTION=9325417]t0x1cSH[/MENTION] for this! Rortiz2, I bought you a cup of coffee (donated) in appreciation. Apologies if I have left anyone out.

Installed yesterday without any issues, Magisk and Xposed installed just fine. The ROM feels very good, fast considering the limitations of the device.

Very nice work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] CPVideoMaker:
Can't wait for the next release. I already thought de-amazoning it made the KFHD8 much faster and usable, but with this ROM It just flies. Amazing work!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] slinson:
Flashed and the ROM works like a champ!! Thank you OP for the hard work!!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Oco:
I wonder in the hypothetical scenario of an unlocked 2016 Gen6 would be easy for you to make this ROM for it? :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Should be possible, but unlock is a must.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Roger W:
Great work, thanks!

For those that have it installed, how is the standby time? One thing I like about stock is how it only loses a couple % of battery a day with the screen off.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] slinson:
battery time is great
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] koop1955:
I installed Xposed + Greenify. You can add Amplify if you wish.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Roger W:
Great work, guys!

Two small issues I've noticed so far:

1. I encrypted the tablet - this works fine and seems performant! But, TWRP can't mount the encrypted data.

2. Netflix crashes on load. It isn't available from the Play store, but I grabbed an APK (that should work with 5.1+) which crashes with the following:

Process: com.netflix.mediaclient, PID: 7018
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.netflix.mediaclient/com.netflix.mediaclient.ui.launch.UIWebViewActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class ImageView

Any suggestions?

had the same issue, just downloaded an older version from apkmirror, i got 6.26.1 working
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] yafi1710:
I am having a strange issue with Play Store in the ROM. For some strange reason when I am trying to download an app it's showing waiting for download for some time and then it starts downloading after 3-4 min or so. Anyone else facing this waiting time? At first I thought that it's cause PS is updating itself on background so the delay. But it seems that's not the case. If anyone have any solution please et me know.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
New Build is UP!

Dated 2020-03-27

Update security patches to March 2020

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] mrblack1134:
Hey, awesome! gonna try this later today :)

How did you end up fixing that Unity crash? is it related to EGL_BAD_DISPLAY? (I'm looking at the repos under https://github.com/CM12-1-Douglas/ and I can't find any related commits...).

Thanks!

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
OfFirst up, finally got around to trying this as held off for a while because headphones didn't work and it's for my little one.

So thanks, its quick, less sluggish, so far happy with the change. And so much more space available as not needing to have multiple profiles, instead just the one profile but it's locked down through family link.

Getting a couple of crashes in settings menu (like when clicking on apps or status under "about tablet" . Not sure if that is normal.

Some apps don't work (tried Asphalt 8: loaded, but crashed a short way in, however, the version from amazon store works. )

Thanks for any help and thanks again for a great ROM.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
One more question, does this work with external as card (trying to figure out if the fact I can't find my SD card is a rom or family link issue!) Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
I don't understand what do you mean:rolleyes:

Did you meant if you can use external SD Card as internal storage?

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
Yes, so would like to use as card as external storage, but I can't even see the sd card in file explorer
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
There should be an option to set external sdcard in Settings but I cannot confirm it right now as can't test (sorry).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
Ok, I've figured out issue one. I don't really know what was the problem, but I erased and wiped the SD card from within the tablet and it can now be seen in terms of it is showing me free space and it shows up in ES explorer. So that's the first step.

Now, I would like to direct it to use the SD card for apps where possible, so if you can point me in the right direction that would be awesome!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
I manually moved the apps over one by one, haven't found a global auto seeing so far so if I have missed it, would really appreciate a point in the right direction. Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] koop1955:
AFAIK, there is no Global setting built-in. If you want to do this (personally I wouldn't advise it) use something like this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=en_US
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
Thanks. And the crashes in settings when clicking apps seem to have dropped since I erased the sd card too by the way (still get one when going to status under about though).

Echo that, few days in now and it feels like a new tablet. Absolutely great and well done again OP!

The only thing that I wish worked is I wish family link could control the time spent by app, but I understand that would need version 6 of Android, so I don't think it's possible in this ROM.

Should I try this rom or SlimLP? Anyone who experience with both can give some comparations?

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/rom-slimlp-t3996003

Thanks you for your advance!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] dontpanic-xda:
Once you get TWRP installed, it's pretty easy to try both.

Of course, you can only try one at a time.

I find myself using this ROM. But, I've tried SlimLP also.

I found the differences to be mostly minor.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Norma Stitz:
I had a hell of a time with Spotify also. It would play for maybe 1 second, then CRASH. I installed Amazon App store and reinstalled Spotify from it, and it seems to be working. Interestingly, I had trouble getting the app store apk also. For some reason either Amazon or chrome on this tablet wouldn't download it. I had to copy the app store apk from another device.

I think this is final thing that I've been hung up on. This ROM is officially perfect for me. It transformed a device I was considering throwing in the trash into something actually useful again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] giupysemeraro:
I'll try with different versions from APKMIRROR.

Thanks! <3
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] hellter:
Worked like a charm on fw 5.6.4.0

The only problem I'm facing is that when I download an app from the play store it often sits on "pending" for ages before installing, but by searching around I figured this is sort of a known issue on all Fire devices with custom roms.

Apart from this, the device is just superpowered now. Thanks a ton for the awesome work!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Maybe you can read the OP and download the recommended G-APPs which doesn't have that pending issue.

Anyone having issues with Magisk on this ROM specifically with the latest build of each? It won't pass for me on brand new builds on two different tablets.

I'm thinking that's it's related to the most recent build containing the unofficial March 2020 security updates and Magisk's supposed issues with Google killing its method.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] thinklost:
Unfortunately you and the OP are both unaware that the recommended G-APPs DOES have the issue and is not at all a fix for who knows how many countless of us. I experience no difference, in fact, between it and the latest GAPPs, and have tried many different versions across many reformats and reflashes. I have read the OP and every post in this thread. I have to wait ages for an app to download and have found no consistent method to trigger a transfer.

Should you find another solution which works for all of us please do not hesitate to share it here.

=\

Thank you greatly for your time and consideration,

Is there version of this kernel that can accommodate overclocking? I haven't seen that on any of these Fire forums so I'm guessing these MediaTek SOCs aren't good candidates.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] hellter:
(Sorry for the late reply)

As markoajda and thinklost said in reply to this, actually I did read the OP and did download the recommended G-APPS, but they don't solve the "download pending" issue.

I also tried re-flashing the ROM and G-APPS thinking that I might have somehow mistakenly updated some of the g-apps in the first download, but nothing worked.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:

Dock problems?

Is anyone else using the Show Dock for the Fire 8? I seem to have a weird problem not getting the device to charge through the dock. At first I thought maybe I killed my connector by attaching/detaching micro usb cables when flashing, but that does not seem to be the case: When using the micro usb cable directly instead through the dock, everything works - so ac plug, micro usb port and cable are all ok. Fiddeling around a bit more I noticed, that it does charge for ~5 seconds or so, when I connect the micro usb connector of the charging case while it is inserted in the dock - but after a few seconds the charging stops. Everytime. It feels almost like is depending on some kind of mechanism in the firmware/drivers that is missing with Lineage...

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] hoy4555:
I see that Karnak has the newer LOS. But the specs are similar, right? Appreciate all the work you’ve put into this but I think the device is just too slow for me to enjoy using. Would sWapping out for Karnak solve that problem? Or do newer versions of LOS solve that problem and is there something about Douglass that will keep it at v12 forever? Sorry for noob questions, just wondering if I should hold on to this device or buy something else.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

- First of all, I want to let you know something: Karnak and Douglas doesn't have anything to do even if the share the same SoC. Karnak was launched with nougat meaning boot higher versions would be easier due the proprietary blobs. If we want 14.1 or up in douglas we must prepare our ass for a lot of glitches + a lot of shims due our old lollipop blobs. Just take as an example my other MT8163 tab which runs 6.0.1 at stock and It has working (almost stable) lineage-15.1 but needed to steal some codec blobs from other MT8163 tab (which runs off 9.0 as stock) and use a lot of shims.

- Second thing, yes, I have in my plans upgrading to 14.1 (or maybe even 15.1) and I was thinking yesterday to ask somebody if want to be my tester but for now no as I have life and I'm busy;)

- Also, I think the speed of douglas + 12.1 is more than enough... What did you expected from a 50 eur tab plus a ****ty MediaTek SoC? If you want speed, buy another tablet and make sure to avoid MTK. And you keep getting security updates each month which for me is pretty important even if 5.1 is EOL.

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] hoy4555:
Thanks for all that info. I remembered how important cache cleaning is to keeping this thing running smooth, and then you're right about it being fast enough. I'm not even trying to use youtube or do any gaming, I just want my todo list to work, and to be able to go on twitter every now and then, and it regularly gets to a place where I'm waiting 2-5 seconds for it to switch apps, or for the screen to come on from sleep. Cache cleaning fixes that, but its just a day or two before it's slow again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ceyo14:
Sorry to ask for comparison, but I am currently running SlimLP and it is freezing too much for me, is this one more stable? and are the Known Issues still current? Can I just flash it now with the TWRP I used for SlimLP? just flash after wiping partitions?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Crim Soukyuu:
From my experience, that's 5.1 itself, at least the LOS version of it. I had this behavior with my xperia arc, the first nexus 7 and now with this fire tablet. As soon as I change to a non-lollipop rom, those abysmal freezes disappeared.

[MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION]: when you start working on LOS 14/15, I can be you guinea pig. I'm not using the tablet for anything essential, so I'm fine with bugs and having to wipe it all the time if needed. I'm also comfortable with fastboot/adb/console
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Ok thanks. I'll start working on 14.1 today.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Gwenm:
Same here, I'll be happy to test stuff if needed :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Sparty73:
Despite what others appear to be saying about some performance issues, I've found this ROM to be rock solid in stability and blazing fast, particularly when compared to stock. Has breathed new life into it for my 6 year old.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ceyo14:
this is good enough a reason for me... SlimLP keeps freezing for me, I only went with it because it has less known issues... but the freezing on me kills it... Thanks for your reply, I am going to try this one...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
Yes, this LOS12.1 is even better if you can live without gapps. I mean F-droid and Aurora store are enough for you, then you do not suffer from the long waiting problem when try to install with google play.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] James Bottomtooth III:
This.

With no gapps and only the aurora store with a few additional apps installed, this tablet feels quite snappy.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Gwenm:
I agree that the tablet works really well with this ROM and no google apps. I'm having a weird issue though, which I don't think was mentioned here. I can have sound on only one app per boot. For example, if I play direct after boot a video with VLC, it will work fine, but then I cannot make a skype call (I'll have no sound there). If I reboot, I'll have sound on skype first, but then VLC will have no sound after that.

Am I the only one with this issue? I've made a full wipe and reinstalled the last version of the ROM, but the problem still persists. Would a logcat help diagnosing this? If so, should I grab it when I launch the app which will give me no sound?

Thanks a lot!

Hmm, I did a clean install and followed the microG instructions on their site, the self-check says that signature spoofing is supported, but disabled. [MENTION=1191841]those[/MENTION] who are using microG, how did you enable signature spoofing?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] boa05:
Use nanodroid, they have built in signature spoofing support and much more useful stuff! Alternatively you can try an xposed mod called fakestore.

Hi all,

Doing a new build to release today.

Mainly changes are that will include May 2020 Security Patches, vendor blobs will be updated to latest version and will re-aply the MicroG patch as seems that was disabled in the latest build:)

I sucsessfully flashed this Rom on my HD 8 - thanks for your work!

But somehow i managed to create a "Pixel launcher error Loop" - although i just flashed gapps 5.1 arm64.

I installed nova-launcher and it works so far, but sometimes the Pixel-launcher error-Massage still shows up.

Has someone an idea, how to fix this?

I read a comment, which recommends to delete the "Nexus-launcher" folder via twrp.

But - to be honest - i dont even know how to access twrp right now. Or do i have to restart the full procedure from the first post?

Any advice would be welcome.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] pom532:
TWRP can be access by entering recovering mode. When powered off, hold the power and volume up buttons until you see the amazon logo. Then you should be back in TWRP, where you can install gapps etc.

If you download a different gapps, such as the nano, it won't have the pixel launcher. When you install a different gapps, it will remove any old or unwanted gapps apps first. So if you install the nano gapps, it will remove the pixel launcher. Just make sure you have another launcher installed already.
