REMOTES

- There are a few types of remotes... Ones using Wifi Direct and others using Bluetooth.

- Actually, the one that has been tested with the ROM is Wi-Fi direct and it's the original one... His codename is "Gelato" and it should appear in Wi-Fi direct as Gelato P1 (the number may be different). Actually the serial is "DR49WK B"

- If your remote is showing up at Bluetooth Screen, means you have the "1st-Gen Voice Remote" codenamed "Hurley". Please, if someone has this device, let me know to work on a bt script. The serial of this remote is "PE59CV"

- There's also other remote that should work with this ROM that is using named "2nd-Gen Voice Remote for Fire TV Stick" and codenamed "Bane". Actually I don't know exactly what is his serial but I think it should be "DR49WK G".

- Please, for more info refer to: http://www.aftvnews.com/list-of-all-fire-tv-and-fire-tv-stick-remote-and-game-controller-specs/

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
I think you definelety have 1rst gen remote. See my previous comment to more info.

Do wipes and try with the "DR49WK B" again please.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Masonch1986:
I can’t get my remote to connect either, it says gelato p1 available,invited, and then connected. But does nothing when I try to use the remote.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Thanks for the feedback.

It stays connected all time or says connected jus a few seconds and then goes to invited?

Regards.

[Fire TV Original Android Development] Masonch1986:
It shows invited for a few seconds, and then connected, after that it disappears from the screen.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Reboot the TV. When the Wifi direct screen appears, start pressing the home button until you see connected. Then release it quickly. It can take a few attempts to get it to pair, yes is a ****...

Report back how it goes.

Regards.

[Fire TV Original Android Development] DanielF50:
If the above doesn't help, you should be able to connect "Android TV remote" (by Google on the Play Store) & use it your phone as the remote temporarily.

Hopefully someone can help us work this out soon - I was under the impression that there was only one controller, but obviously not :p
[Fire TV Original Android Development] brick00444:
I think I have the first 1 you listed. Are you saying to wipe cache and data from twrp?

Thats what mine is doing too
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
Why is SuperSU required to boot anyway? That has to be one of the weirdest dependencies I've ever heard of especially when Cyanogenmod has it's own root access in privacy guard (unless you ruin it by installing SuperSU over it)
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Cyanogenmod built-in root is broken since it needs a special prop in the boot image what we can't edit.

Can you try this version?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XQ1b_lYEXDxe92AM4MOa8ux-a72jhDVc/view?usp=sharing

Sorry for the problems... This is pretty difficult as Amazon doesn't shares the source code of their ****ing app to pair the remotes..

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
But that doesn't explain why Root access is required to boot
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Dude, don't flash it if you want. I'm advising you..

It's needed to put SELinux in Permissive and make the boot menu work.

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
I'm still going to flash it because I want root access :p

I was just curious about why it would brick if we didn't
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Alright no problem;)

It's one con of having the bootloader locked..

Report if you can pair the remote please..

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] brick00444:
I tried the new rom and had the same results. It connects and then disappears from the screen.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Weird, probably I missed something in the build... I would like to send you more tests. Can I PM you?

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] brick00444:
sure
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Masonch1986:
Still no luck with my remote also.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Ok... Can anyone of the people that is having issues with remote (seems all people) can message me on telegram please? Talk via xda pm is a hell to do testing...

My username is R0rt1z2.

Thanks.

Best Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Will release a bluetooth version today so at least the ROM can be used with Bluetooth remotes.

Regrads.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] brick00444:
Awesome, Thanks for your hard work.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Uploaded bluetooth build. This one only works with bluetooth remotes. To pair it, do what the screen says.

I'm still working on Wi-Fi direct... Will need testers tho as for me is working...

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] brick00444:
Just an update. I installed the bluetooth version and it recognized the remote but failed to pair. Then I tried my Nexus player remote and it paired first time.

I went through the setup and then tried pairing the fire tv remote and it woldn't pair and a popup said something like couldn't pair because of incorrect passkey.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Weird. Are you removing the battery and connecting it again?

Give it a few times. Needed to try 5 times in my Fire TV Stick 2 that uses bluetooth aswell.

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] brick00444:
Yes I'm trying every scenario I can think of. The Nexus player remote works great but if you don't do anything for some time you have to just push the home and back keys and it pairs it again. I will keep trying the fire stick remote. Thanks again
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Make sure you don't have any other bluetooth device turned on.

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
I just installed and I can't select the pairing request for my remote because adb is enabled by default

I'm using the Fire TV 1st gen Bluetooth Remote

FYI Adb isn't usable without an input to select the box to trust your pc and thus shouldn't be enabled by default
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
You need to push the adbkeys to the Fire TV.

Also, does adb has anything to do with the remote?

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
The stackoverflow link is dead
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Working here;)

Anyway, ADB doesn't has anything to do with the bluetooth....

When it appears it should select it automatically, at least does that here.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] DanielF50:
Go to C:\Users\%username%\.android\, open "adbkey.pub" in notepad, copy the contents to a new file, save that file as "adb_keys" (no file extension), put that file on your Micro SD card, boot into TWRP, mount it & then;

cp external_sd/adb_keys data/misc/adb
chmod 644 data/misc/adb/adb_keys
reboot

That *should* authorise your PC - works for me anyway.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
How do I extract adbkey.pub I've never done it before and I don't know where it's stored
[Fire TV Original Android Development] DanielF50:
It should be stored at C:\Users\%username%\.android & just open it with notepad/wordpad - it's a text document :good:
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
Oh I thought it was stored in the device
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
[MENTION=8502570]Toothless_NEO[/MENTION] or [MENTION=10369207]Masonch1986[/MENTION] Try latest Wi-Fi Direct build please.

We got it working with DanielF50.

Flash the ROM, flash SuperSU and reboot.

When the TV boots, wait 10 seconds, then press the home button of the Wi-Fi direct remote like 15 seconds. It will not show up at the pair screen don't worry. Just wait 10 seconds when boots, press 15 seconds the home button and release it. After that, the remote should be paired :)

Please report back how it goes.

Cheers.

[Fire TV Original Android Development] 0815hoffi:
Is it also fixed for Tank?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
This does't has anything to do with tank. Tank is using other Wi-Fi direct protocol aswell other CPU for the Wi-Fi chip (BCM). Still working on tank with diegocr.

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] 0815hoffi:
Ok thanks,

I know that, but i hoped it use the same script maybe.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Masonch1986:
It connected on my first attempt, no problem. Thanks!
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Cool:) Remember to do that in every boot since automatic pair is not working:p

Let me know if you fins a bug that is not listed!

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] GhostMirror324:
I cant seem to get my remote to pair i tried all the steps in the thread and it wont work, i even tried both wifi direct and the bluetooth rom with no success. is there a way to disable usb debugging on boot while it does the initial startup just so for example i can connect a usb controller to navigate and do the initial setup

Thanks in advanced

I have 3 Sloans collecting dust... [MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION] if you want to do any bootloader unlock tests or any other tests that are semi-risky let me know. I am planning on going back online with one of my Sloans this weekend..

[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Thanks.

No, I don't need to do any tests as I'm no planing to full unlock sloane (sorry). I already tried suez's exploit on DanielF50's semi-broken sloane and ended up in a brick (expected). I guess this means sloane can be exploited tought the same way as suez.

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] KainanMaki:
Congrats Rortiz2 and DanielF50 for starting this project, it was really needed for our beloved Sloane.

I took some time to try it and here are my thoughts:

* Using a Wifi remote, pairing at boot is hit or miss. I get it right half of the time.

* I'm having some sort of bug with wifi, 95% of the time while choosing a network, I receive a "wrong password" message and the remote pairing gets lost, which forces me to start all over. Only a couple of times I managed to get connection (and got past the wizard). At first I thought it was related to a bad wifi connection, but a I have similar issues sharing my LTE connection.

* After a sucessful connection and disabling ADB over USB, my USB remote didn't work. Don't have a wired mouse or keyboard ATM but I guess the odds of not working are similar.

* Ethernet is not working, don't know if that is to be expected being Lineage.

Considering these two issues, I had no real chance to try stuff. Every pair failure or wifi situation required another reboot (and 4-5 minutes for every try). I've tried to flash GAPPS to check if it helps during setup wizard, but it made no difference.

I'm more than willing to help testing (if needed), my sloane is unlocked.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Thanks you for the feedback:)

I will need to investigate further that issues. I need to say that Wi-Fi worked perfectly in the tests:/

About remote, well... I didn't found any better way to pair it:( I mean, I don't know if somebody looked at git but sadly we're using a shell script that runs in loop on boot for check if a remote is paired:

https://github.com/sloane-developme...cm-12.1/overlay-binaries/init.fosflags.sh#L43

If you're interested in testing PM me, but I'm not sure if this days will be free so don't expect anything from me this week.

Best Regards!

PS: Your sloane still locked ;)
[Fire TV Original Android Development] errut:
maybe i misunderstand the instruction:

boot into recovery, "Wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and system if you come from stock" ,installed Lineage.

But it doesn`t boot lineage (white screen) .I only can switch to TRWP.

What`s wrong?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Did you flashed SuperSU....?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] errut:
ok, no I didn`t
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
OP says you MUST flash it..

Enviado desde mi WAS-LX1A mediante Tapatalk
[Fire TV Original Android Development] errut:
Now have a problem with the remote - obviously no connection.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
- What remote are you using? Wi-Fi direct one or bluetooth one?

- Wi-Fi direct remote can be paired at every boot, just when you see the LineageOS Setup Screen, press home button 15 seconds until it pairs..

- Bluetooth remote can be paired at setup when the bluetooth devices screen appears, just press home button 15 seconds until it appears in the screen.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] errut:
I`m using Amazon original- i figure it`s infrared, and the Logitech K400 plus with separat receiver.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
- Infrared? Are you sure? IIRC sloane doesn't has any IR sensor implemented (unless they released a brand-new 2020 model xD).

- Can you check if you see something like a serial under the remote and send the number?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] errut:
Sorry , but it is blue tooth.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] velayo:
[MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION] Were you able to get hardware acceleration running? Netflix is the only think keeping me from flashing this rom. Thanks for your hard work.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hey man!

I didn't got it working so far... I have to update this ROM when I get some time.

I will try to look at it this weeks:)

Regards!
[Fire TV Original Android Development] velayo:
Thanks bro. Put the quarantine to good use
[Fire TV Original Android Development] schybiorz:
Hi folks.

A dumb question. I had successfully downgraded aftv2 sloane from 5.2.7.3 via unbrick method. Now I wanted to test out lineage. Flash etc works fine. But when I boot I got a white flickering pictures with dots. Like no signal.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

Did you flashed SuperSU?

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] schybiorz:
Yes. From link. Update-supersu-v.2.46.zip
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
That's weird then...

Can you check if you have ADB connection?

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] schybiorz:
Also I have flashed lineage 12.1 20191209 sloane. Or is there anywhere a new version. Will check adb via usb right?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
That's the latest rom yes. I need to update it when I have some time.

Yes, ADB tought usb when you get that glitched screen.

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] schybiorz:
Ok I left it for around 15 min. Now I get a settings screen.

Can it be that boot logo has another screensice?

Something has boot from lineage
[Fire TV Original Android Development] schybiorz:
This is all I got. No welcome screen etc.

Think I'll flash back prerooted stock and wait for new release.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
That's not the latest release then...

I'm going to do a new build right now.

I will let you know when it's finished.

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] schybiorz:
Super thanks.

Will look for it by time. Or send me a PM. When released
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Will send a PM;)
[Fire TV Original Android Development] velayo:
How's that new build coming up?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi^^,

Just wait.. We're doing some good progress in private and will be shared soon.

This ROM is not dead, I just need some time:)

Regards!
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Masonch1986:
Any updates?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Sadly not..

My box decided to kill itself and enabled Permanent Write Protection in the eMMC leaving it unusable (hard bricked) so I couldn't test any ROM anymore.

Regards.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] DooDafiit:
Do anyone have a solution where the fire tv works with lineage? It is so sad that the current build is dead...
[Fire TV Original Android Development] DanielF50:
The current build isn't "dead" - people have other things they need to work on & lives outside of this community.

Booting Lineage on an Amazon device isn't a small feat & it this took a while to get to this stage, so I'm sure Rortiz2 will update this thread once he has something to share.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] velayo:
Sorry to burst your bubble but the developer clearly stated a couple of posts back that his box died and he doesn't have another one to continue development.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Yeah you're right. But that doesn't means I can't continue the development. To be honest Daniel is who tested most of the betas of this ROM :)

Regards ;)
[Fire TV Original Android Development] DooDafiit:
That sounds good. Could you estimate how long it does take to fix the current ROM? Please don't get it wrong - I don't wanna rush you ;)
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Ewle:
If you need a rooted FireTV 2 to continue with development PM me.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Seattleweather:
So will my remote work with this ROM? How to get pass initial pair if I have a new remote?

Thanks!
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Seattleweather:
Mine is the same. Were you able to pair the new remote?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Seattleweather:
LineageOS Setup Screen never showed up. It went directly from snow to wifi devices. Unfortunately I could not get them pair with new remote (assume it's Wifi remote)

UPDATES: I was able to use TV remote (auto connected to Samsung smart TV) to pair AR. However, it's not stable at all. Google app store was not working as anticipated. Adb was not stable, unable to transfer the files. I was able to copy some apks through initial TWRP, but most of them couldn't run. Hope 14.1 will fix all those.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] fleisch80:
For all of you who are about to give up because lineage didn't boot up for you ,

Try the lineage 20200413 build number.

This one actually loaded and booted for me , while the first older build didn't .

Run your super su , WHILE you are still in recovery , and BEFORE you reboot.

Hope this helps someone .

C.f.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] fleisch80:
I would personally like to say thank you to the devs that ported lineage to Sloane.

The box runs damn fast , and even with some small inconveniences its still

so much better than stupid Amazon fire os .

It feels so good , if you wanna use the leanback launcher , no problem.

My WiFi picks up with no issues ,

For people having issues trying this , mine paired with a Bluetooth remote just fine.

I recommend everyone install lineage version 12 - 20200413 .

The other lineage release did not boot for me .

Minor inconveniences aside ,

it looks good .

Don't give up everyone. Try the build I mentioned , it will boot .

remember what the dev s said , you need to download super su zip ,

right after you flash the rom in recovery , and Before you reboot,

You need to install super su right on top of lineage .

Im looking into an app called Bluetooth auto connect . don't know if that would

remember pair combinations for remote during each boot but its worth a shot .

I'm surprised I got this far , so its worth trying.

Thank you Amazon , the more you screw people the more they wanna stay away from

Your services .
[Fire TV Original Android Development] fleisch80:
I think in the adb settings it said at every reboot , for safety adb debugging is auto

disabled so you would need to manually set it each time.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] fleisch80:
For those who lost their original Amazon Sloane box remote ,

If your able to buy a cheap onn Android box Bluetooth remote it should pair.

At pair screen , on the onn remote press both back arrow key and home key same time

For about 40 secs , there you go . it should pair .
[Fire TV Original Android Development] fleisch80:
That's the remote that came with my Wal-Mart onn Android box I'm talking about.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
Is there any chance this could possibly be updated to support the New Unlock method for the Fire TV 2, now that we have unlocked Bootloader the SuperSU step shouldn't be Necessary and we should be able to just use the Built-in Superuser or Magisk. Unless I'm missing something here.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Yeah, that's on my to-do list. I will also bring something newer than Android 5 (i.e: Android 7)​
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Toothless_NEO:
Oh that's good, Android 5 is starting to get a bit unsupported these days.

Hello, everyone,

unfortunately I have a problem with the installation on my Fire TV 2. First I cleared the data, system, dalvik and cache. I then installed the Lineage Rom and Gapps and after restarting the Fire TV there is a bootloop.

I can't get into TWRP either.

Can someone help me?

[Fire TV Original Android Development] fleisch80:
Hi friend . honestly , what worked for me was trying the Wal-Mart onn box remote

and forcing it to pair inside lineage. From what I remember is the version of lineage

that works on the fire tv 2 unfortunately doesn't have WiFi remote functionality.

I think later on in the next release it was fixed , however me and many others

did not have any success getting the second lineage release to boot .

Don't hold me to it , but I think the Wal-Mart onn box , ver 1 had the Bluetooth remote.

try any similar Bluetooth remote to force pair with it .

I can't remember the force pairing sequence , its not to hard to figure out though.

could I have gotten my info backwards about which lineage release was using Bluetooth

remote instead of WiFi , sure , but I think I'm mostly correct.

O , for pairing an onn box Wal-Mart remote , try holding both the Home and back keys together at discover menu .

One last thing ,

I think at every boot you will need to manually re- pair the remote .

Let me know what ver of lineage you got to boot ,

I honestly can't remember which ver . num worked for me , the first or second.

Chris.
