I think after reboot the files are gone. :)

Ziona's omx fix is flashable and also includes 64bit libs. Now mx-player plays videos with hardware decoding. Youtube in browser does work, youtube app does not on my device..
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Michajin:
I had play store updating also. I went to system apps and unstalled the update after i turned off auto-update in the play store. I am not having any issues with Vanced. I am not using hide or anything. Just installed vance from magisk, then turned off auto updates. What version of Gapps did you install? i went with pico.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

Did you copy, paste and overwrite old versions? i didn't change any permissions, just a copy and paste with solid explorer. Both of mine are working just fine.

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

What are the 64 bit ones for? Should i copy them ones in also. I only pasted in the /system/lib files....
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] mukwing:
After uninstalling youtube vanced, the fix work perfectly now.

I only used youtube app to test.

This lineageos 14.1 rom is now perfect to use. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
lib (32 bits) are for system/lib

lib64 (64 bits) are for system/lib64

Cheers.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Doesn't work for me. Still a black screen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Michajin:
Did you flash the zip or did you copy and paste?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I copied and pasted and rebooted. It gave me a blank black screen. No home screen. Just black.

I flashed the ROM again, then the zip, and it booted, but still a black screen with audio.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Michajin:
I didn't use the flashable one. I just used solid explorer and opened the zip, open the lib directory and selected all, copy. Then went to system/lib pasted. I got a prompt for SU and then a prompt to overwrite. It worked before i rebooted. I also did this for the lib64 files later, but youtube is working on both mine.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] BeniS98:
I tried both to flash the zip and copy the files manually in the lib directory with Solid Explorer but nothing of that worked. Still blackscreen with audio only in YouTube.

EDIT: It was my mistake, i forgot to activate the root access before I copied the files. But after I replaced the files video playback is not working at all and I get an error message after a while. I will try to reflash the ROM and repeat the procedure.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Michajin:
It seems that on one of mine it stopped playing videos... trying to find what is different between them.... one works just fine. The only difference is one i have updated magisk versions. checking into it...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] BeniS98:
I reflashed the ROM and copied the files a second time, but still the same issue. Video playback is now not working at all.

I will wait for an updated version of this ROM. Hope [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] will find some time soon. Maybe somebody can support him...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Michajin:
Odd, uninstalled vanced from magisk, and reinstalled now it is working.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Use magisk version 19.3 only for nougat !
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] BeniS98:
That was it! Reinstalled the YouTube app and now video playback is working. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] retora:
Why?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
The fix does work & funny ting with this statement is am the only one for now supporting ggow with all the fixes for, mustang, ford & Austin on los 14.1 . Am just trying now to also help you guys out to for him because he's busy dealing with other stuff right now

Try this .

Using a root explorer go to system> libs and scroll down nearing the bottom an try locating ( libMtkOmxVdec.so ) & scroll down lil further to find ( libstagefright_soft_avcdec.so ) , let me know if its their .
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] BeniS98:
As i wrote two posts before I was already able to fix the problem by reinstalling the YouTube app. Thank you guys for all the fixes!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Because its still the Only stable one for nougat on these tablets , all modules an apps still utilize this version without ( many or lil ) random error's popping up out of nowhere , hence why this version was stable the longest of all versions on magisk . you can update the magisk manager just not magisk (SU) or expected problems to happen randomly !

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Was this a clean or dirty install of the ROM ?

After flash the ROM again did you boot up first before flashing anything else ?

Flash ROM then boot up then enter recovery again to flash anything else .
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] retora:
[MENTION=9906981]Ziona[/MENTION] I'm using Magisk 20 and haven't noticed any issues yet. Can I flash 19.3 over 20 or do I have to uninstall 20 before?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Flashing any version of magisk overwrites the other one install ! :good:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
Thank you, this fixed my Court TV problem that I mentioned in post # 142. But it did not fix the Miracast problem that I mentioned in the same post. Does anyone know if Miracast works in Ford or Austin?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] BeniS98:
How to activate adaptive brightness? The main settings page mentions that adaptive brightness is deactivated but I can't find any option to activate it. Any suggestions?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
What's exactly is the problem with miracast . the build-in Cast feature in los or the user app?

The display cast did work very well first time testing with los 14 on the Ford connecting cast on a fire TV , didn't use it after installing many addons like magisk, xposed , root apps etc.. then went to use it again one day and it would connect but the fire TV would always just exit casting .

As for using casting features in other apps like YouTube , popcorn time etc.. They works well .
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
repacking rom zip with omx fix give me a hour or so tablet battery is dead
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
The built-in cast feature does not connect. I'm sure the exact error message depends on what TV you're connecting to, but after about 5 seconds, TV says something like unable to connect. Mine is an LG TV.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261615777

added OMX libs

replaced su with magisk (super su is dead stop using it dam it!)

zip alined

use pico gapps because kitchen keeps Ooofing on resizing system or use microg if thats your jam

no other changes still based on sept 26 build wired headset is still broken dont ask about it

tested youtube is working as expected
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Seems across all the tablets we are having a hit or miss time with the built-in casting . if you want to cast local videos from your fire to the LG TV I can recommend a great app for that
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
I know that I can use something like the localcast app. Is that what you were going to suggest? That's fine for getting around the problem. But [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] did say a while back that he didn't think it would be too difficult to fix. So I was wondering if it was already working on other fire devices. It's always nice to see these issues get tackled one by one.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] fprhqkrtk303:
Video is still partially broken with omx codec patch. It can't play 1080p60 videos and MPEG-2 stream files (.ts), which was available on 12.1.
[MENTION=9906981]Ziona[/MENTION] Can you tell us where you got mtk codec libs for nought?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Flashed this and my tablet has been stuck on the LineageOS boot animation for ten minutes now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
tested on my tablet just fine

read instructions in the op
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I did. But I ended up having to wipe and start over. Now I'm having issues flashing ANYTHING in TWRP. No matter what size the file is, it gives me the message,

I

As you can see, I'm attempting to use the latest Pico GApps, as you suggested, but I'm still getting this error. I have not installed, flashed, or otherwise changed anything on the system, just booted up, added WiFi hotspot, downloaded this to my SD card, and rebooted. Nothing else has been modified.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Shadow128:
Thanks for the fix! :)

Flashed yesterday 14.1 and today the fix and after re-installing YouTube it is working!

Roms seems also to work really smooth :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
The only fix for this was to delete several stock apps and ringtones/notification sounds I don't even use anyway. I was able to flash the Pico gapps afterwards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
boot to twrp and goto wipe > advanced wipe repair or change file system

it should list the freespace on system as ~164mb for the previous build and >700mb for this build

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Wave123456:
Worked awesome for me. As far as I can tell this has fixed all videos issues...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Won't that wipe my device?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Now I have another issue. SD card won't show up in most apps.

Nevermind, flashing the ExtSD Write Access Magisk Module fixed it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] OptimisticShaggy:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Where is yours at?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DragonFire1024:
I download my files the same way I usually download them if I'm on Chrome it gets downloaded through Chrome. I do not have any alternate download managers installed. I somehow still do not believe that the pain fire SuperSU is BOA considering the fact that work perfectly normal on the last ROM and for whatever reason not a single bit will install on this one that does not make any sense at all. The thing with the resolution only happens when in landscape mode in applications that don't usually support it. In some cases I have to use an application that forces the rotation into landscape on some applications. That seems to be the only time the resolution is not recognized in those applications. I reset the application up in portrait mode and seems to work just fine. Not that there had been a problem before.

I would assume the answer would be in post #287, ironically right above your posts. Could be wrong. Good luck..
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Video is working fine , 12.1 an 14.1 may seem the same to you but work very different on these tablets .

No support their you most likely don't have any (h264) video hardware acceleration like in 12.1 , just simply check with a app like codec info !

I cross port & mod lots of mtk device's hence why i have blobs an fixes for these device's starting from kit kat to Oreo .
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Namit1994:
Video playback works fine with the fix. I'm referring to video playback for secure content (Netflix, Amazon prime) using DRM / Widevine L1.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
I spoke too soon about my court TV problem being fixed. I just went to that site and stream live, and the error message no longer came up. But I didn't watch to see what actually occurred. Now I see that the video plays for only about one second and then freezes. Audio is fine.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DragonFire1024:
Don't know if this helps any, but I get perfect audio. It's as if the video is playing, but the picture is just black. No error messages come up for me generally. But I can always hear the audio, just never see the video, which kind of seems a bit odd to me. That that seems to be the only issue with video I have, otherwise I can put on a video and listen to the audio all day long. By the way this applies to the YouTube app on the latest build. I don't generally watch videos in articles or search feeds so I can't speak for their functionality in those terms.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Some of you are having really weird problems while tings are great for most ppl , its almost like few ppl are dirty flashing the ROM again after installing the fix lol .

OK try this ,

let see if we maybe can pin down your true problem , Using a root explorer app navigate to system > etc , an in that folder scroll an find - media_codec_google_video.xml , also find media_codec_ffmpeg.xml . Confirm if they are both their report back if an when located .
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I ended up clean-flashing the whole thing again, and video works fine for me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
I have both of those files, but I have an 's' on codec. That's probably what you meant.

I have only installed the ggow 14.1 rom one time, and I copied the unzipped files from the OMX fix into system/lib. YouTube works fine after copying those files. It is only Court TV live stream that I am having the problem with. Before the fix, the symptom was that I would get an error message about incompatibility, and video would not play at all. Once I applied the fix, that message is gone. Now the video displays very briefly, then freezes, with audio working perfectly. Maybe someone can try this on courttv.com and see if they get the same thing.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Well right now am only using my ford on 14 by ggow this had the same problem as Suez why I made the fix at first, courtTv.com works for me so question which browser are you using for streaming video like that on ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
Chrome.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Download and try the original Opera with VPN not the mini ..
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] BeniS98:
No idea?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
Yes, Opera VPN works. But here's the strange thing. The exact same problem occurred with ggow's 12.1 lineage ROM. I told him about this problem, and he fixed it in his next release. I did not need to use another browser. So maybe when he returns, he can figure out the fix he used then and the same can be implemented now. I guess it's possible that I still have some older files, even though I did copy the ones from the OMX fix. But I don't see how I could screw that up. Also the behavior did change once I put that fix in.. I no longer get an error message, so it obviously had some effect.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Did Opera make any difference with video stream play on courtTv not the VPN ?

So why did you not just flash the OMX zip I posted that's better it contains all needed omx libs an its safe has been downloaded hundreds of times for 3 months used on ford ,Austin, Suez & mustang . What app do you use for VPN because its only supported via third party apps on this los 14.1 & yea he maybe could take a look into VPN, I also have made many fixes for these devices helping out support ggow with 14.1 los, he will be away for a moment dealing with a few personal tings !
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
I'm confused. I thought you asked me to try the original Opera with VPN, not Opera Mini. That's what I did. I have not installed any thing else related to VPN. I only installed the app that you suggested, and it did work.

As far as installing your zip, I read a post about using something from a thread that was already done in Ford and Austin. That's what I used, not realizing that you have posted some other zip. I will go back and look for that.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

I just flashed your zip from post 248. I had previously been using the link that was provided in post 245, and I had used the OMX fix from there. I had made an incorrect assumption that you were just repeating what that other post had said 3 posts earlier. In any case, it still doesn't work when browsing with chrome for Court TV live stream after flashing your zip. It is very weird that I can keep tapping the screen constantly, and instead of freezing, the video will keep playing.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
I do mean Opera, I wanted you to play the videos in court TV with that an say if it plays video & audio !

The VPN ting was just a bonus if needed .

They are both my fix libs in those post but different , one has just the 32 bit libs to manually install and the next has both the 32bit an 64bit omx libs an is flashable !

Opera is better than chrome, it will play almost any ting on web sites plus you can sign in your Google account on it that will sync all bookmarks an you can share them an history with your other devices an PC .
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Opera has a toggle (in settings) to toggle VPN on/off. You may also have different experiences toggling 'data saver' on/off as some rendering takes place off device when data saver is enabled.

As for Chrome vs Opera I only use the latter.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
Yes, I installed the Opera VPN app and tested the court TV problem, and the problem did not occur. So I guess you thought I installed the app and didn't test after that? That would be pretty crazy of me!

I realize there are other ways to get things to work. As I mentioned with the Miracast problem, I could use an app. But I would like to see the built-in cast feature work. Same thing here. I would like to continue using Chrome and see this work with court TV. It did work with ggow's lineage 12.1 version with his August 11th release. It had not worked in his initial release.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

I tried Opera VPN with Court live stream, all settings of VPN on/off and data saver on on/off, and all cases work properly.

Can anyone else try this with Chrome? If someone else says it works, then I will know there is something wrong in my system. If everyone sees it fail, that will tell me it is not specific to me. It is live stream that fails, not the older videos that are further down on the page.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DragonFire1024:
Well I sort of got the camera to work and it's launching icon to appear. I downloaded the Google camera for nougat and installed it like a regular app then made it a system app. I then unpacked the APK and extracted the library files from it. The camera will launch, but aside from that that's all it will do. It crashes when any button is pressed besides the rotate button (at least I think it's the rotate button it may flip the camera from front to back). Touching any other buttons including the button to snap a picture will cause the application to crash. So all I get is a black screen. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it seems a bit odd that the camera presents a black screen while playing videos on YouTube and other applications and website also cause a black screen. Maybe the two are connected?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
Well anything can be a possibility but I doubt it solely because if that were the case upgrading the OMX libs would have done nothing to play videos for us , the camera is broken in all these devices part way do to not having the exact blobs for the camera which is not open source software , an will take a dev like ggow awhile if ever to create a blob shim that will match a work like the original does . this feature is broken on most fire tablets upgraded to nougat cause lollipop an nougat work very different not all files will run !

And I just got video working. At least I am playing videos on YouTube web and all is good.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DragonFire1024:
I actually got video working by looking over all the hardware library files as well as the ones in vendor, framework files jar files all of them anything that had any visual relation to cameras video or imaging. and the only thing I managed to get working was video. Much to my surprise it's working. if anyone would like to try and repeat what I've done to get there video to work I will gladly repeat my steps.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Nope sorry I cannot get any camera application to work at all not even Amazon stock application that came with the tablet. About the best I can do is get Google camera to fully boot and open, to a black screen but if any buttons are pressed the app will crash. Not having a camera doesn't bother me all that much, it's not like they're actually pretty good quality ones on this device anyways. But it is very nice to have video working. I've tried almost every camera I could think of including some from various older ROMs I've had for other devices. And not a thing.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ziona:
That's the first one I got to work on the Ford , Austin tablets well.

The stock camera's all models would just load normally but taking a pic would just never save it only make a empty camera folder , trying to save video would give error an force closes .

What symptoms does the stock camera have for you !
