Yeah guys, i'm resyncing the slim sources to my computer. Will have the build today.

Best Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
New build is UP!

Dated 2020-01-10

Sync changes from LineageOS 12.1 tree.

Fixed headphones. Thanks to [MENTION=10317629]spelcheck[/MENTION] and [MENTION=9325417]t0x1cSH[/MENTION].

Kernel built with GCC 9.

Upstream to 3.18.140 (thanks [MENTION=9469670]novatillo[/MENTION])

Patched libcutils.so with missing atrace symbols.

As androidfilehost isn't working I uploaded the ROM to Google Drive

Clean flash is always recommended but dirty flash should work aswell

Go to the OP for Download link

PS: If anybody wants to test suez ROM let me know please.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
Great work again. Yes, now I can use headset to enjoy music. There is no time delay when downloading from Google Play. I came back again from LOS12.1.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] lovaduck:
I do!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sazaesang:
Rortiz2 thank you so much for the update.

SlimLP has been my goto custom rom for my tablet, now that headphone is working, it very solid.

I did benchmarking with STOCK/LOS12.1/SlimLP after a clean install and SlimLP had slightly better result from the rest.

Keep up the great work and thanks again for providing us with an option!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Airton araujo:
Finally I see me free from Amazon stock!!!

ROM is great! Everything is working good
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Antieco:
Hi many thanks for your work, getting rid of Amazon opens a brave New world to this tablet .

Will it be possible to upgrade to Android 7/8?

Many thanks again

Now that headphone issues fixed, I'm looking to move off FireOS. Can anyone who has flashed this and LOS give suggestions? This seems like the better option..any issues to be aware of?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

As you said, we can say this ROM is stable or "bugless" since it doesn't has any video/gplay issues.

Try both and you will see which one is better, there's no better way to decide (imo).

Best Regards.

[MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION] does this rom have MicroG compatibility like the LOS 12 rom?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

No this ROM doesn't supports MicroG as I didn't applied any patch.

Regards.

Hi. For the update can i just reflash rom from recovery? Won't loose my apps and settings? Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
I think you are already with SlimLP and want to update newer SlimLP, right? If so, you can just do dirty flash. I mean in TWRP wipe only cache and install newer SlimLP. You will not loose your settings.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] qfreddie:
Yes, exactly! Thanks. Will do that than.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] LanceLot9980:
I see. But won't it be possible to make it compatible?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

It's possible, just apply the patches and rebuild the ROM.

If you're interested: https://github.com/microg/android_p...r/patches/android_frameworks_base-KK-LP.patch ;)

No I'm just asking....lol yes tablet freezes up seems to be due to Google services which I freeze but sometimes restore for certain apps...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Airton araujo:
there is a trick I’ve been using for years: go to developer options / background process limit: set "no background process" it will automatically reduce the use of Ram memory(revert it if you having any trouble with background down/uploads), you can also use airfrozen to freeze all apps that insist on running in background. doing this i got 750mb free to run pubg + gfx tool smoothly here

i am using cpu monitor app to monitoring the ram in real time. While not playing, it's still under 60-70%

1) SuperSU was accidentally left in this Rom.

2) After Removing SuperSU via steps I found online (and on subsequent install deleting it from ZIP of ROM), I Install Magisk, the latest version of 20.3:

And I keep having System UI Crashes constantly when hitting the recent button!

I don't know if it's the Magisk causing the System UI to crash when I hit the recent button or something wrong with the ROM, but I can tell you the apps displayed temporarily in the recent list before it crashes have all been forced closed and the like. Using an app to "Reset SystemUI" allows me to literally swipe and clear one recent app from list before it crashes again. Repeated resets do nothing to alleviate the issue. My setup is frankly unusable and now I'm sad and worried that I'll have to try LineageOS, especially so after hearing of it's various issues. =[

Is the latest version of Magisk incompatible with this version of Slim? Im reinstalling everything from a blank slate now to see if the issue persists.

Thanks all,

T

UPDATE

I reinstalled everything. Hitting the recent apps button works flawlessly. . . that is UNTIL I install Magisk. After the Magisk is installed and active, I receive a crash of the System UI e v e r y single time I hit the recent app button, and for me this is regardless of whether or not I force close Magisk before hitting the recent app button. Even if I force close it first Im still crashing the system UI. And for the record, if I clear my Cache and my Dalvik Cache, the System UI still crashes when I hit the recent apps button upon reboot (the square on the right). The same goes for if I clear the Caches of my Apps manually, like say the outdated SlimLauncher v1.0 (which supplies the recent app button), the System UI itself, etc, the issue stubbornly continues to persist.

I pray the bright minds here at XDA in raising an eyebrow to the skies might perhaps have some insight into what is causing this issue and how to alleviate it for those of us who must use Magisk to say, hide the fact that our system is rooted to unlock full functionality of the play store + games. Thank you again and good night all! (or er... morning? Stayed up all night assessing this :cool: )
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Err, SuperSu wasn't accidentaly left in this ROM... I didn't say that in any moment:confused:

About Magisk, what version are you using? I pressume the latest one. Give a try to an older version.

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] TraderJack:
I just flashed this ROM and during install in TWRP it does specifically say:

...
Device: KFDOWI (douglas)
Patching system image unconditionally...
Flashing SuperSU...
script succeeded: result was [/system]
...

So...what does that mean?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] thinklost:
Oh thank you so greatly for your replies. I feel we may just be on to a solution here today.

[MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION]: I will try to install an older version of Magisk and report my findings. Uninstalling Magisk and then using the WIPE function in TWRP does fix the SystemUI crashing, as well as removing root. I mispoke earlier about needing to flash to restore normal system UI function.. trying the next lower version of Magisk and Manager now. Edit: How do I choose which version to roll back to? As I read the changelogs of Magisk and Magisk Manager it appears some very critical issues have been fixed in recent releases. I'm nervous to revert back to something older :(

About SuperSU: Check in the latest Zip file for the ROM linked to in OP, among the folders like 'system', 'META-INF', and 'install', is a folder curiously titled "supersu"; Deleting this folder from the package before flashing the ROM seemed to fix the issue of it being installed when flashing. If it isn't removed this way you can go into android settings after install and find a SuperSU entry which among its various settings has an "uninstall" function. Before supersu is removed with fresh flash of the provided rom rootchecker will confirm the rom has root.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] TraderJack:
So do you mean by it wasn't "accidentally left in" that you meant to bake SuperSU into the ROM? Because it is clearly in the ROM.

Thanks to [MENTION=10506459]thinklost[/MENTION] for instructions on how to easily remove it by deleting the folder inside the ROM. I'm not sure why the decision to include it especially when not providing that information anywhere on the ROM pages. Baking in a root program without user knowledge seems a little strange.

In any event, I am having the exact same issues as [MENTION=10506459]thinklost[/MENTION]. It appears not to be Magisk, but actually Magisk Manager.

Any version beyond 5.7.0 will cause SystemUI crash. This isn't really acceptable, as you can't even install props to pass safety net in a version of Magisk/MM this old.

I haven't tried the Lineage ROM, so I don't know if it would exhibit the same behavior, and I'm not sure if this is an issue for Magisk team or for you.

I had Magisk installed on stock ROM without issue IIRC.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] TraderJack:
The issue is MagiskManager, not Magisk. All you need to do in order to stop the issue (temporarily) is force close Magisk (from Apps in settings). It appears the issue isn't related to it being installed, but in fact appears to be related to Magisk Manager itself being in the recent apps list. As I stated above this appears to be since version 5.8.0+.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

Sorry if my comments have been confusing...

Yes, you're right, SuperSU it's included in this ROM, and I know. The fact is, since the sources that I'm using were used for the Amazon Fire 7 2015, SuperSU was added in the past to the ROM sources:

https://github.com/SlimLPFord/vendor_slim/blob/lp5.1/prebuilt/common/UPDATE-SuperSU.zip

If it's a big problem for you guys (I don't understand what's wrong with SuperSU which can be uninstalled tought the app itself...) I will remove it in the next build.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

PS: If someone can test LineageOS + Magisk and can report back if the bug is present too, would be pretty nice.

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] TraderJack:
Not a huge problem on the SuperSU...and that is definitely not what is causing the Magisk issue.

See the bug that was reported here:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2420

Feedback shows that it appears to be related to:

com.android.systemui.slimrecent

Since that is a component of SystemUI, I can't readily disable the entire thing without loosing needed functionality.

This makes perfect sense with my testing that there is something about how Magisk renders itself to the apps list that the recent is choking on.

Is it possible to replace this with a different recent, or somehow file a bug with SlimOS makers? Will they still work on Lollipop builds?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

IIRC you can disable Slim Recents tought Settings... I'm not 100% sure as I'm not on this ROM rn.

Try to search for it in Settings.

I will take a look at the sources tho..

No, lollipop is outdated and unsupported, that's why I started working on nougat...

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] TraderJack:
Ok, I found it. Settings > Interface > Recent Apps Panel > SlimRecents

You can turn it off and the issue is gone. It appears this is the only workaround that will exist since Magisk has closed the bug as ROM related.

Are you coming out with a nougat ROM for douglas?

Also, will the Lineage be getting the video fix that you know of?

thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] TraderJack:
So Amazon Appstore won't run on this ROM either.

Downloads and installs, but constantly crashes when opening.

I've moved to LineageOS as this ROM just has too many issues, and I've only just started trying to set it up.

A shame, it definitely seemed like it was snappier than LineageOS build.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

Thanks for your positive comments about my ROM;) That's what makes me work on this community.

Did you mind catching a logcat?

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes I'm working on nougat for douglas but as I pressume that you know, I have life and I have more important stuff to do, so it's not my priority.

About the video fix, I need to investigate it further as there's like 500+ different commits in SlimLP sources vs LineageOS sources.

BTW: You can always build a ROM yourself.

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] jmpf_bmx:
[MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION], sir when are you gonna send a new update.

Thanks for your work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] TraderJack:
Sorry...I didn't mean for that to sound harsh against your skills or contribution. After all, you didn't write the code...you just compiled it for the specific device, right? I'm sure whatever issue was in the SlimRecents or for Amazon crashing are not a comment against your skills, but rather something within the base code itself. And, after all you also compiled the LineageOS build which I've stated I'm going to instead (for now) as it doesn't seem to have these issues. Was just disappointed that I had finally thought there was a bug-free ROM for douglas and got discouraged when I kept finding more things that wouldn't work.

I did not get a logcat on the Amazon issue (that I saved), and now I'm on the LOS ROM you built. I could go back to run it if you were really interested in working on it (problem is one of my main apps was unfortunately purchased on Amazon, so I need the Appstore to have that...so I won't get much use on the tablet if I don't have it running). Additionally, if you are working on a Nougat ROM I would much rather you devoted time to that rather than track down this issue. I can live without the video (and other minor issues) on LOS for now.

I do appreciate your work, again sorry to sound ungrateful...just frustrated.

Let me know if I can assist you with any testing, etc moving forward.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Sjd08:
Moved to slim from lineage, lineage was crashing far too often for me, not sure why? Anyhow this is a kids tablet so have removed SuperSU by installing then removing magisk without issues, not sure what the above problems was all about? Slim works great for me, no issues that matter as far as I'm concerned and have done the remove background process suggestion above, all is quick and responsive, very happy. I have only one, maybe silly question. I can only find and install the ROM dated 31/10/19 but the notes suggest there's and updated ROM dated 10 Jan 2020, where is this update? Ta for the hard work and time put in. ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ciekawy:
Hey there!

I wonder if it's possible to have Google Family Link (kids mode) with this SlimLP (or Lineage 12.1) on Fire HD 8 2017? - saw some notes in this and other threads yet thats not fully clear (sorry for asking again).

Do not care about headphones as my kid already use BT.

OTOH would be great to see nougat or marshmallow yet not even asking now :)

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] chennaiite:
Yup Family Link works well on this one. For some reason couldn't get it to work on rooted HD 8 Giza (infinite loop issue).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] iATlevsha:
I've been using Family link on this device with Lineage-12.1. Functionality is limited however because of old Android version: you won't be able to set per-app usage limits. But you'll be able to set global usage limit and enable/disable apps.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ayy10:
how are the security patches coming along? i wanna try this rom currently on lineage.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] JayRab:
I'm not sure why but this runs TERRIBLY for me. All I have installed is Clash of Clans (with open_gapps-arm64-5.1-pico-20190921.zip) and it will just freeze up when reloading the game when the tablet falls asleep. Forcing a hard reset. Did I do something wrong? Does it really not like CoC?

I haven't tried lineage yet but thinking I might to see if it has the same issues...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Maybe can you get an adb logcat while this happens?

Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Briked-Matt:
Does device encryption work on this rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] DB126:
Historically encryption is a non-starter on Amazon devices with custom ROMs. I see no reason why that would be any different with this device/rom combo but do not have first hand experience. If it fails you'll have to reload the device and will loose all personal data.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Briked-Matt:
I flashed this rom and all went smooth. Performance are good. Missing only updated security patches.

But there is something wrong with the audio levels (jack output). Very strange. Sometimes it's too loud, sometimes too weak. Is there any quick fix solution?

Thanks for the hard work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] redsiren204:
How do I copy the rom into the tablet? Because, the rom will be erased after format data, won't it?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Ben81:
No. Data isn't the same thing as internal storage.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] N6ML:
Minor issues

Thanks for making this image available! It looks promising. A few minor issues encountered so-far....

1) Included version of Android System Webview is old (45.0.2454.87). The LOS image for Douglas includes version 80.0.3987.132. The old version didn't work with Fully Kiosk to view my Home Assistant dashboard. Fortunately it's possible to update via the Play Store, so that's cool... but it'd be nice to not have to.

2) There are two Contacts icons on the edge of the home screen (that set of icons that's common to all screens)

3) The banner thing for the ZIP file says "For Amazon Ford" - should be "Douglas" :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] megazone23:
Just installed it to be used as main control device for my home start devices.

Home Assistant works fine.

However, was surprised to find out official Amazon Alexa app (at least latest and older versions I found) only supports Android 6 or above.

Anyone knows any older Alexa app or workaround can work on Android 5.1?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] munkymack:
Just installed and am so far really enjoying this ROM. Two display questions (that I couldn't find answered elsewhere in the thread)

1. Adaptive Brightness doesn't really seem to make any adjustments. Is this a known issue?

2. LiveDisplay's automated settings don't work at all. I've got Location set to "Battery Saving", and Date & Time on "Network Provided". Should they be set to something else?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Nittola:
I can't get the PS4 Remote Play to work, error 88001003. This error refer to the app knows that the device is rooted. Already installed Magisk (20.4), reinstalled with a different name, turn on Magisk Hide and selected the app, but nothing. Also, when I first flashed the ROM, after selecting "Only charging via USB", the device wasn't recognized from the PC, I could only transfer files via Recovery. Now I refreshed the ROM to get it work again. Only I have this issues? Do you need others informations?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] juanpa74:
I have an issue. I do a clean install of this ROM and the file explorer doesn't show the microsd card no matter what I do. It shows the Images/Videos folders but the full microsd doesn't show so I can not navigate it. Anybody else having same issue?

Don't have that problem with Lineage 12.1
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Airton araujo:
Me too.. After (accidentally)selected "only charging" I can't change it anymore.. It says "USB not connected" even I already plug in my usb pc port

Disney+ on SlimLP

I installed SlimLP over the weekend. Totally amazing ROM, so super smooth & it's so exciting that camera recording, headphones, and most streaming services are working (thanks so much [MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION])!

I'm having trouble getting Disney+ to work, though; I get audio & subtitles, and even thumbnails when I seek using the playback bar, but no video, just a black screen. I downloaded all three D+ apks and used SAI to install them (I tried the 160 dpi version, then picked up the 1.6.1 version supporting all dpis, then tried the nodpi version, all with the same effect). I saw an older thread somewhere that said that setting SELinux to enforcing might help, so I tried to use SELinux Switcher to do so, which turned out to be a big mistake. It almost immediately locked up the tablet, then after a hard reset, it started optimizing apps again. I tried to use D+ again, but it locked up; after second hard reset, apps were optimized a second time. Locked up again after second boot. Hard reset again, and now table locks up on the lock screen. If someone can point me in the right direction to recover from this mistake without having to clear all data, I'd really appreciate it.

More importantly, does anyone else have Disney+ working? What did you have to do, and what apk version are you using?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] RAEDIT2015:

I have contrary experience. After reboot, it works fine first but getting slower and slower. I have to reboot it every day or 2 to make it usable again.

Did you install Google Services or just barebone?

SlimLP is very unstable. Use Lineage 14.1
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] megazone23:
A big difference is camera and video recording work in SlimLP, I use the tablet for my kids to do video call with their grandparents.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] brjhaverkamp:
So how unstable is this compared to Lineage 14.1? I am using the tablet as a wall panel, and I want/need the camera for motion detection to remove the screensaver. I use Lineageos 12.1 now, Is this ROM an alternative, or is it just not stable enough for daily use?
