I'm still not able to play music with Doubletwist or watch movies with Tubi. File Manager+ also doesn't see the SD card properly. It just says that a 128GB card is an empty 673 MB one. Odd.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] dontpanic-xda:
Thanks for the ROM. Here's my initial testing feedback...

I tested a video, but could not get any playback.

I couldn't get any audio working with either RadioDroid or AntennaPod. Also, the battery drain was relatively fast.

A logcat was showing issues with the Camera Service crashing constantly. So, referring back to the feedback on the Alpha version, I rebooted to TWRP, and deleted:

/system/lib64/hw/camera.mt8163.so

/system/lib/hw/camera.mt8163.so

... and now ... SUCCESS!

RadioDroid and AntennaPod are both working correctly.

My bluetooth speaker was working well.

Also, I was able to get an mp4 video playback working on a 1080p mp4 video. I only sampled the video, but it seemed to be working fine.

The camera app is not showing anymore (certainly related to my deletion of critical files for this app).

It'll take more time to get additional feedback on the battery life.

The SDCard is funky. It's volume label appears to be jibberish. Some apps find it OK, other apps have trouble seeing my SDCard.

Thanks again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
Great feedback! I also did this workaround and can now enjoy music. Thank you for the information. Another issue related to the sound, I realized in Setting>Sound, I could not move the bar to change the sound level. This issue also gone. I think sound related issue has solved. If SDCard issue solved, I can enjoy music on my SDCard. And I can see Images with Gallery that are on SDCard. Waiting for solving the SDcard issue.

New build is up

2020-11-28

Fixed Video Playback (SW).

Fixed Audio.

Disabled Camera (no more battery drains).

[KERNEL]: Fixed warning when releasing active sync point.

Note: You should be able to install this version using the built-in LineageOS OTA updater though I don't know if will work. If somebody updates using the OTA app let me know if works correctly.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi,

I know mediaserver it's constantly crashing in the background but I don't know how to fix that crash.

I tried a lot of stuff with the same result (no success) so I ended up nuking out camera in the latest build.

I guess the problem it's related to libhal_effects.so since I always see before the libc crash:

Oh. Thank you!

Actually I forgot to delete those files and I have a very weird behavior: Firefox crashes all time, as well as Kodi. Youtube stuck on a white screen with some widgets all around. The tablet is very unstable

I deleted the files and now everything is OK, like the Alpha version

The OTA updater has detected and downloaded the version but gave an error when I tried to install it

I've got TWRP 3.3.1-0

So I did a reboot in recovery and manually install the zip downloaded by the updater

I did an installation on the previous version, wiping only cache and dalvik

Everything is OK but Amazon shop still does not work and Firefox is still lagging a little bit

*Edit*

Regarding Syncthing, it's possible sync only folders in the internal memory., despite the app can access the SD

@Rortiz2 are you planning to release updates this year?

Thanks for the custom ROM :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
Seems no further report from the original person. I write the compilation error instead. The kernel source is not up to date. I have the following error that stops the compilation:

/media/AICP/kernel/amazon/douglas/kernel/exit.c:59:24: fatal error: linux/kcov.h: No such file or directory

#include <linux/kcov.h>

^

compilation terminated.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
Very few people views this tread? Second report about compilation. If you comment out the line for non-existing header file, the compilation continues. But you will be stopped with the next error (apparently they are trying to fix cpu frequency issue).

/media/AICP/kernel/amazon/douglas/kernel/sched/core.c:1952:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'cpufreq_task_stats_init' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

cpufreq_task_stats_init(p);

^

If you are not a dev (so am I), better wait until the kernel source be updated.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Apologies been snowed under with other projects. I will get back to this and grab logs etc
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
@Rortiz2 you latest build is 20210105, yet the changelog states a more recent one, and the device trees show updates as recent as 20210317. Any chance you could make a build and drop it on AFH?

Apologies still not had the time to resync sources
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
I will do a new build today
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Sorry, that was my fault. I tried adding support for UID_SYS_STATS but probably some of the changes caused conflicts. Now everything should be fixed and UID_SYS_STATS should already work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
New build is up

2021-06-14

Updated vendor blobs to 5.6.8.0.

Fixed UID_SYS_STATS (+ performance).

Removed audio logcat spam (+ battery life).

Limited background processes.

Enabled ZRAM.

Fixed microphone.

Updated Security Patch to 2021-05-05.

Synced with LineageOS sources (cm-14.1).

NOTE: OTA has also been pushed, you should be able to update through the LineageOS (CM) Updater app.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cache.return:
Thanks for the update. I've installed it. Is there any empirical way for me to test whether battery life is better? What was the issue before, failure to enter a particular sleep state? If this issue is known to still exist, I am willing to do whatever might be useful to help test a fix.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] koop1955:
@Rortiz2 another great job! Flashed via the updater, couldn't have been easier. After completion I updated to the latest version of Magisk (note: I renamed the Magisk APK to Zip, then flashed via TWRP) and all is well, passed all checks.

Too early to assess performance and battery life, but it feels good, a bit snappier.

Thanks again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
Thank you for updating device tree. I found a problem in the source code,

in lab126_log_shim.cpp (line 42):

|| (strcmp(tag, "AudioALSAStreamOut", 7) == 0)

should be:

|| strncmp(tag, "AudioALSAStreamOut", 7) == 0)

If so, please fix.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Yeah that's correct. The function used to compare strings it's named `strncmp` and not `strcmp`. I pushed a commit that fixes that. Thanks for the report.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
What I found is even with the latest version, it still does not go into deep sleep. I checked with Kernel Adiutor.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
The left parenthesis just before strncmp should be removed. It does not match.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] B2Pi:
I have no idea how this works, but, although I have no other issues with the ancient amazon with this ROM, the MLB app (once known as At Bat) will not install. I don't suppose anyone has a workaround..?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] SamDungUser:
Hi Roritz, I don't know if it's still happening but if I recall the roms on the douglas device suffer from this GMS issue where it takes forever on Checking for Updates so to anyone who reads it you'll have to restart if you're stuck and it should work the next time. Just a PSA i'm not sure if roritz can fix it though sadly
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] faekplastik3s:
Same here. It's a shame, because the battery barely lasts a day even just idling. I'll take it off the charger in the morning, not use it all day, and at night it has 15% left, same as if I had used it all day. Crazy.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] SamDungUser:
Hi, I have a suggestion to make it faster. Push the kernel to use the max cpu speed and by default change the kernel to performance mode.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hi there. Unfortunately the GMS issue isn't a problem related to my ROM at all. More devices (i.e: suez, austin, ford) are experiencing the same problem. I guess you could try to flash an older version of the GAPPs package.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] NTGDeveloper:
Thanks for the new update, OTA showed up in the app, but it didn't want to download. Manual install was required. I will update with any issues that occur.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] IsolatePlz:
This OS is so buggy its infuriating.

1. I cant install apps because the install button doesn't register but the cancel button works perfectly fine when I hit it

2. My camera doesn't even work (The fix for this requires you to download files that don't even exist anymore).

3. Certain apps flip to Portrait and cause me to reboot my whole device cause it forces a Portrait resolution on a Landscape locked game (I assume it does this when the device is overheating but I don't know)

If anyone has a fix for any of these issues (especially the install one and Portrait flip) please tell me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
You should first read the entire thread before posting such bull****.

I have already repeated the same thing several times, the problem of the Play Store, it is a problem of the G-APPs and not of my ROM.

THE CAMERA IS NOT WORKING. READ THE BUGS SECTION.

As for the portrait thing, I never experienced that issue. Could you grab a log while trying to reproduce the bug?

Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Aeternamens:
Thanks for great ROM!

I'm glad the tablet still works and I don't need to buy a new one.

How to send a beer to Rortiz2?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] IsolatePlz:
How am i supposed to grab a log when I cant even operate the device at most I can take a picture of it with another device.

Also the camera fix which I found was this https://xdaforums.com/t/camera-fix-for-all-lineage-14-1-based-roms.3607568/ and the files don't exist anymore and I'm not installing apps from Google Play I'm install apps elsewhere from actual APK files like downloading YouTube Vanced. The only issue I have with Google Play ATM is the apps dont sync correctly when Installing so Google Play will say the app has 2% well the notification area says it has 98% and this wasn't a issue till I downloaded the update.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
You're supposed to grab logs using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) which just requires a working computer. I don't understand what do you mean by "How am i supposed to grab a log when I cant even operate the device at most I can take a picture of it with another device."

That's not a fix, you're just installing an external camera app which won't even work since the HW camera HAL is dead (camera.mt8163.so). If you're such an smarta**, go on and find the real fix, you've got logs in the first page of the thread and the sources are public in github. As a side note, I already reverse engineered the entire camera HAL without any luck.

Since you keep saying the ROM is slow, may I ask if you CLEAN FLASHED it? Dirty flashing the ROM (i.e: coming from FireOS or LineageOS 12.1 without wiping userdata) could cause big slowdowns.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hey there,

I'm glad to see you're enjoying the ROM.

You can buy me a beer at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/rorle :)

Best regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] IsolatePlz:
When did I say the ROM was slow? Its only slow on startup and how do I grab a log using ADB. Also when you say "you've got logs in the first page of the thread and the sources are public in github." What logs are you talking about the Changelogs I'm already running the latest version I downloaded it awhile ago hoping it would fix my issues. It says my LineageOS version is 14.1-20210614-UNOFFICAL-douglas and what am I supposed to do with the source code I don't know what any of that stuff means.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Yes, my bad. You just complained that the ROM was buggy. But hey man! It clearly says in the first post "This ROM is in beta state so don't expect a 100% stable ROM". Anyway, let's ignore the fact that you can't read. (showing some quotes of your messages)

There are a lot of guides around internet that'll help you to grab a log. Do a quick search (i.e: how to grab a logcat) and I'm pretty sure that you'll find what you're searching for.

I never mentioned the changelogs in any of my responses... I was talking about the camera logs provided by some users in the first page of the thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unlocked-douglas-otas-lineage-14-1-14-jun-2021.4195349/#post-84009439

If you don't know what any of that stuff means stop complaining and throwing **** about other's work.

I'm not going to continue with this conversation, this is just pointless and useless.

How do I know if the log includes my issue
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Strategio:
Hi Rortiz2,

Thank you for developing this ROM. I flashed it onto my douglas, and it works well for a 4-year-old budget tablet. Now that it has been freed from Amazon's clutches, I think I can put it to more use.

When trying to download the new June 14 update, the update service malfunctions with the error "The download failed. Please check your internet connection and try again later". Could you take a look into this issue?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] IsolatePlz:
I also got that issue manually install it download it from the webiste and flash it in twrp
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Hey there,

Yes, I am afraid of this problem. It looks like AFH (Android File Host), the site where I host ROM releases has temporary direct links (which "surprisingly" expires after a few days). I'll upload upcoming releases on AFH and GitHub as well (so OTAs run smoothly).

Best Regards.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Strategio:
Sorry if this is a stupid question. How do I access TWRP now that the ROM has been flashed? Should I go through the same steps I did when first installing it, or there some shortcut I can take?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] NTGDeveloper:
Shut down the tablet, and hold down the Power button and Volume Down button. When the Amazon logo appears, let go of the power button and keep holding the volume button until the "RECOVERY MODE" text appears in the bottom left of the screen. Once it appears, let go of the button and wait for the device to boot into TWRP.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] koop1955:
May I also suggest that you learn to use ADB? I'll link to a guide, having ADB as a tool can really be a life-saver.

You can also enable advance restart in developer options ( tap multiple times on build number under settings > about tablet to enable developer options)

When you push the restart option, it will give you an option to boot into recovery

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] SamDungUser:
I wonder what's causing it though. Strange.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
I wonder what happens too. To be honest, I have never delved into this bug since I don't really use GAPPs. Can someone confirm me if this problem happens on Lineage OS 12.1 as well? I can only think of PRODUCT_BAND but AFAIK that's already set to google.

Even though my stupid butt just bricked the kindle. It weirdly doesn't happen on LOS 12.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] SamDungUser:
Hi Ror, thanks for your help unbricking my device. I reinstalled Android 7.1.2. I reinstalled apps but when I tried using the OS now it's very unstable. The speed manages to be slower than Fire OS and your other OS'es SLIMLP, Lineage 12. I'd recommend increasing the ZRAM amount to the highest possible. Also in the kernel you can try to change it to performance mode in the kernel by default.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
So, you're basically telling me that after unbricking your device and re-installing the ROM again it's just unstable?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] SamDungUser:
Yeah. I don't think the unbricking did anything. I'm thinking it's the ROM because when I installed a launcher and my apps it's very slow. it's always been slow to use. I wonder if my use case just makes the device inherently slow. This ROM clearly isn't fit even for light gaming. It's so slow to the point that i'm installing SlimLP. It seems android 5 works much better on the tablets hardware.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] SamDungUser:
What I think amazon did on FireOS is the use of ZRAM or Swap File. This rom has ZRAM but the amount might need to be increased. It might help!

Alright I'll try adding memory management tweaks to see if those slowdowns can be fixed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] anujdatar:
Quick question, what file system does this rom format your SD card to? iirc it uses FAT32. I remember having trouble copying a video file greater than 4GB in the past. I just reverted back to FireOS last night, because I wanted to check something, and noticed FireOS uses exFAT for SD cards.

I remember the rom not recognizing my old SD card because that was exFAT, so i formatted it from the storage settings tab, and it formatted to FAT32.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] IsolatePlz:
@Rortiz2 How would you like me to send the logs?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] koop1955:
Depends on the size of the card. I have a 120 GB card formatted as exFat and it works fine.

Download the ROM zip.

Copy the ROM zip to the external sdcard or the internal storage.

Reboot to TWRP.

Go to install > select the ROM zip > swipe.

Once it finishes, select wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

Unfortunately it won't work. I still have to find the solution for that.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cellist:
Thanks for the question and the answer, that would have also been mine (the question, I mean) ;-)

I guess sideloading with TWRP would work, too.
