Mine is at least 720p. I can't find a way to view the resolution or bitrate in this version of the Android app. The Amazon Prime Video app has me at 480p or worse (downloaded from Play store).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
720p is the highest i can go before lagging and chopping with any video. I also noticed last night that the gpu/cpu was running hot during idle. When this happens, i have to turn it off and let it cool before it will let me play Last day on earth game, otherwise it crashes. My plex server runs fine untill it heats up then it has connection issues and lags, my blue iris software runs fine but i have it limited to 720@1mbps.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
I don't think the amp for the audio ic is working the volume is pretty low and the headphone jack isn't working

video playback works but even 720p is choppy after sustained use

edit youtube is crashing after a couple seconds when playing video, can't get it to sign in properly either

I did do a factory reset before flashing do I need to kill the partitions?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
Deleted double post
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
If you have magisk installed, remove it, then sign in.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
Just looking back, the signature spoofing patch is already included.

edit: I'll include an option to enable / disable signature spoofing via developer options on the next build.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
What about changing selinux to enforce instead of disable, will that make a difference?

Also, sorry about my double post, it didnt show my reply so i re-reply and now it shows both, ill edit one of em.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
Won't make a difference to signature spoofing, developing an sepolicy for this device is however still on the list.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
So that got it working but playback performance still sucks

720p30 is tolerable but 1080p60 is a no go extremely choppy
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
@ggow, I wonder if you saw my post #212. I was wondering if voice input is working for you or others. When I click the microphone on the keyboard or in other apps, it does not accept any voice input. It is possibly because I did not wipe before install. But I thought I would hear what you had to say before going through that.

EDIT: I wiped, but I'm still unable to do voice input.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
As @tuniel said in post #167, I am unable to download into the internal storage using Chrome. The changelog says this is fixed, but it is failing for me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
I'll add those issues to the list.

The stock Browser application seems able to download to internal storage just fine - weird.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
The choppy playback might be due to data throughput on WiFi. Could you check what download and upload rates you're getting over the WiFi link?

I am only able to achieve average 200KB/s so I'd say something is definitely not right here. There are still problems with OMX which I'm looking into.

I tested playback of h265 1080p from internal storage and that was smooth.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
170MBit/s down

11MBit/s up

TP-Link DECO M5 Mesh AP's
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] smashedpumpkins:
I've been able to play some 1080p content locally and online. My connection however is very unstable. When playing an online game it feels like satellite internet. Terrible ping/latency. Without actually testing, I'm guessing bad packet loss.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
odd no problems with the wifi performace here
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
I wonder if it is a 2.4Ghz vs 5Ghz type deal here. Will test some more but I haven’t been able to play 1080p content smoothly. Oddly lineage 12.1 worked perfectly for me on all media.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
yea but LOS 12.1 is hella old

hell so is 16
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
Is GPS working for everyone ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
suez has no GPS chip afaik
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
Sorry. I should state it differently. I am having location related issues on LOS 16 with apps like accuweather whereas they work just fine on LOS 12.1. Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
Do you have magisk installed?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
Yes
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
ℹ️ New Build is Up

Dated: 28 February 2022

- [fixed] DRM Widevine L3 support

- [new] Signature spoofing (enable and disable via developer options)

- [fixed] Wired headphones not working

- [fixed] Backlight HAL crashing

- [fixed] Hardware OMX (MTK codecs now been used)

- [info] Disable camera completely until fully investigated to stop logcat spam

- [info] Enable OTG for ethernet in kernel

- [request] Can you report back if Netflix and other streaming services playback are now better?

- [request] Also at the same time keep an eye on WiFi throughput (this is on my list to look into)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
I don't see those 2 issues fixed today or added in your ToDo list. I hope you can add them.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
They are already on the todo list, unless there is something else?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
Could someone also report whether youtube is now working correctly now?

There is also a crash cause by MtkOmxCore which I need to look into but for the most part it doesn't seem to affect video playback.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] sga999:
I have nothing new. I did not see those 2 issues in your ToDo list earlier, but I do now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
Thanks for the new build. I get “no mirrors found” when trying to download it. I don’t get that message for the md5sum file.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
keep trying, I tried and third time lucky. If it continues tomorrow been a problem I'll find an alternative mirror location.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Pikatch:
As an urgent workaround, why not upload it to Google Drive and distribute it?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
Uninstall it then try
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] tuniel:
I tried a bunch of times yesterday and today, but no luck, still no mirrors found
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
Yeah, it's got worst - this is happening more and more with other devices too. I'll have to do another build because I now can't access my own files!

I'll rebuild and upload to my google drive.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
I have added a google drive link to the OP.

01 MAR rebuild is only available from Google Drive
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] tuniel:
thanks, downloading RN
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] tuniel:
reporting WIFi TPT: ~170Mbps both up and download on 5ghz, ~30Mbps both up and download on 2.4Ghz. one thing i noted though is that 2.4gHz is more erratic and i get disconnections pretty often.

youtube, disney+@ 720p plays fine (on 5gHz)

Edit: downloaded latest (march 1st) Netflix app from apk mirror and it work fine - streaming ok
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
Thanks for the feedback (y)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cellist:
Thank you very much, ggow - I can now use signature spoofing in microG! At the start of the new ROM I get an error message I have seen on e/OS devices (a customized, liberated LineageOS, so to say): there is an internal problem with your device, contact the manufacturer. This does not seem to have any negative effect apart from the extra pop-up window, and if I remember correctly, on e/OS side it has to do with a generated version string that exceeds its capacity.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] tuniel:
i've had the same message, but as you say it seems not having any other effect.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
Video playback for 1080p60 works flawlessly now. Thank you for reviving this tablet!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
1080p x265 10bit streams don’t work well but not sure if they ever did with LOS 12.1.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
Regarding your comment on MtkOmxCore crash, how and where can I monitor if it is crashing ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
You'll definitely see that it's crashing in logcat.

edit: just fixed it, will be in the next release
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] PatchWorkH:
After a fresh install of the newest Lineage OS 16 I got a message saying "there's an internal problem with your device, please contact...". I can still carry on with the registration and use the device. So not sure if it's a big deal. It does appear every time I turn on the device.

Just for testing I went back to an old Fire OS firmware and it doesn't appear. I had installed a previous version of Lineage OS 16 a week ago and never got this message.

Possible I ****ed up something on my end. Just thought I would mention it.

Apart from that YouTube streaming seems much improved. Though I feel my wifi is still slow. I tried 2.4/5g and both were around 15Mbps.

Cheers
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
Right. I get that message as well on every reboot. I am sure it is something trivial that @ggow can fix. :-)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
I've put the "there's an internal problem with your device, please contact..." dialog error on the Task List.

Ignore it for now, the ROM functions fine regardless of the warning.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
I think it has something to do with fingerprinting, will try and fix that for the next release.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
For LOS 16, in order to get the scripts in /system/etc/init.d to execute, I followed the following method.

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-enable-init-d-to-function-in-lineageos-14-x-and-later-more.3810355/

I was specifically interested in boosting the speaker volume. That is done using the following commands:

alsa_amixer cset name='Speaker_PGAL_GAIN' '17Db';
alsa_amixer cset name='Speaker_PGAR_GAIN' '17Db';

in order to get the alsa mixer related binaries, i installed the following zip:

https://github.com/ezeek/suez/releases/download/v11-14db/suez_LOS121-141_hpenable_v11-14db-dev_fixed.zip

@ggow it would be great if you could have the speaker gains turned up to 17Db by default in the next release, otherwise the speaker output is too low. Default in the LOS16 ROM appears to be like 8Db.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
I am not sure if its the gains or if the Amplifier isn't working iirc fireos doesn't have a lot of gain in the mixer config?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
so the headphones work but it doesn't disable the speakers when plugging in I am also getting extreme distortion in the headphones when raising the volume above 80%
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] PatchWorkH:
I noticed on both the Youtube and Twitch apps the video is frequently zoomed in on the left (perhaps wrong aspect ratio?) so the right side is cut off.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
I noticed this as well, especially in YouTube as you switch from 480p to 1080p. If you stay at 480p, it looks fine but as soon as you switch, it seems to zoom in.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] luk2009:
Hi

Thanks for the rom

I had some youtube crash at the beginning of using the rom.

gmail and other google apps were not working, i disabled google play protect and now they work
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
Is this with magisk installed?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] gRooster:
Wow, thanks for this. I was really beginning to doubt we would ever get another update for this tablet, but here we are and it seems to be working pretty good so far.

Reading through this thread it was a little difficult to know how to install this and what extra stuff was needed, and what versions of different apps (Magisk, Netflix, etc) etc. Anyway, I was coming from LOS 14.1, so I did the factory reset in TWRP, and then:

Flashed LOS 16 from ggow's Google drive link (lineage-16.0-20220301-UNOFFICIAL-suez.zip)

Flashed the GApps (BiTGApps-arm64-9.0.0-R45_signed.zip),

Booted up and installed Magisk-v24.1.apk,

Rebooted to recovery and flashed Magisk-v24.1

Booted up installed safetynet-fix-v2.2.1.zip and MagiskHidePropsConf-v6.1.2.zip in Magisk manager,

Changed the device fingerprint to Galaxy Tab S7+.

Then I went about installing all my regular apps. When I got to Netflix I tried the same old version that I was using in LOS 14.1, as I had thought that was the same version people here were recommending. In any case it did not work. For the heck of it I tried the Play Store version (which seemed likely to fail based on what others had said), and what do you know it works! I also tried GMail, as others mentioned issues with it, but it seems to work OK too (only quick limited testing as I am still installing things, etc).

YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix all seem to work (again only quick tests).

The only issues I have noticed so far are (as reported by others), the error when you first boot into LOS, Chrome not finding the sdcard, and speakers continuing to play while using wired headphones.

Anyway, just thought I would post my results, along with the steps used for the install (along with file versions, etc), to maybe help someone else.

Most of the above info I got from posts by people earlier in this thread so thanks to everyone that contributed. Download links for most of the files ( everything except Magisk-v24.1, i think) can be found in the earlier posts.

And thanks again to ggow for this ROM.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] PatchWorkH:
w

Also Youtube videos with black screen/freezing on a frame but audio playing. Happening (edit) constantly now.

Putting the video quality down to 480p seems to help.

And as the other user said, speakers still playing while headphones in. I actually hadn't noticed until it was pointed out.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] smashedpumpkins:
Does updating to the latest version first require a factory reset? Or can I flash through TWRP and keep my data/apps?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
Dirty flash is fine.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] luk2009:
Changed the device fingerprint to Galaxy Tab S7+

Hi

I have already installed magisk 24.1 and the modules you indicated. I only need this part
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] gRooster:
Just follow the instructions here to change the device fingerprint:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Pikatch:
Can OpenGApps flash errors (other than pico) be resolved? Also, it looks like the Android security patch hasn't been updated.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] gRooster:
Regarding Chrome not being able to download to internal storage, I noticed that it is trying to use the Download folder: "storage/emulated/0/Download" rather than "storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download".
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
Thanks for that, I'll look into that one. The funny thing is the stock browser works. Will see what I find.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] desidude2000:
Stock browser works as well as duckduckgo. I do miss chrome though simply because I am used to it. Thanks again for all your efforts on this rom.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Klenz39:
@ggow Thank you so much for updating this ROM. When i tested the ROM, it has the same exact problem when i tested douglas.

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unlocke...ineage-15-1-02-jan-2022.4328503/post-85709779

Seem some apps cant access the storage system when use browser or apkPure. Hopefully the link can help. Thank you for the great job, cant thank you enough.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
Is Chrome the only app not able to access internal storage?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Klenz39:
For me, APK Pure is the main problem. Once i install APKPure, it cant update its own software, i cant download another apk from there because it is so slow (2kb/s). I also cant install Xapk from ApkPure, keep failing even though installer works fine in other devices.

Based on my experience with douglas, it said the problem with the storage. Once he fix the storage, all running well.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] luk2009:
gmail, google drive, netflix work fine
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
With or without magisk?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
I looked at this and it looks like sdcardfs was disabled which won't work for us as pie enforces it's use. Not done investigating yet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
This is important, all my testing is done without magisk. I won't support bug reports originating from devices with magisk installed. That been said I accept chrome has this problem.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] luk2009:
With magisk
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Klaus R:
First off all, many thanks for your work, ggow. Still using your ford LOS, and now having fun here 👍🍻😉

Using magisk, so just to let you know, maybe that gives a hint nevertheless: facing access probs with fennec browser, download and upload. In addition amaze file explorer won't put shortcuts onto desktop, only as a file in shortcut directory.

Another issue facing is a mismatch of battery capacity. It's read with 2980mA, but should be 6300 for suez afaik. Not a big deal for me, but acc magisk module eg won't work.

That's for the moment, thanks again!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
Ive been busy so i had not been able to test new build yet but yes, important as i found magisk to break google services. Although SU is built into development options, passing saftynet and the use of modules is a big plus. Its also important to mention the use of magisk when reporting bugs. Please uninstall magisk if something is not working, there may be a conflict rather then a bug with the rom and that makes a big difference.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Klaus R:
Ok, but how to keep being rooted? Developer options just offer adb root to me...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
The options

The options I see in developer options are:

Root access

- Disabled

- Apps only

- ADB only

- Apps and ADB

This is on a clean install with the rom and no gapps.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
If you uninstalled magisk, flash the latest rom. Then the options should be back in development options.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Klaus R:
Flashing again after having magisk uninstalled did not get the complete root options. Had to do a clean install from the scratch, incl. Data format.

Root options are allright now, no more problem with shortcut onto desktop. As you said: Magisk was the cause. Thanx

But prob with mismatching accu/battery identifikation persists. Charging mA etc same...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] kmsi:
Should I get these scores on the latest build? My device's score is just ~3000 vec/s on the solid vectors test...

I just clean installed lineage-16.0-22020301 and open_gapps-arm64-9.0-pico-20220215. Attached full passmark score screenshots.

BTW thanks for this great ROM on our old suez tablet :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] ggow:
It could be worth keeping an eye on them. I have noticed between reboots the cpu cores intermittently come up hotter than expected. This may account for the reduced vec/s. Needs more debugging.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] luk2009:
I just clean installed lineage-16.0-22020301 and open_gapps-arm64-9.0-pico-20220215.

I did the same thing kmsi did.

I have the following problems

youtube zooms sometimes even in 480p resolution, also goes black as if reloading, although that does it quite fast, sometimes it also turns black and only the audio is heard and you have to change the video

netflix version 6.26.1 error 5.10 and 5.8 every so often.

chrome does not have access to internal memory. *known issue.

speaker audio is not muted when headphones are plugged in

the cameras don't work. *known issue

netflix, google drive, keep and other google apps have access to internal memory without any problems
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] psi78:
Great work @ggow!

Just a small report:

I installed the Lineage 16.0 Rom for suez from 1st March 2022 with open gapps ARM64 9.0 pico and the afore mentioned magisk modules for safetynet checks.

Installed Youtube Vanced/vancedg, Prime Video, Netflix and Disney Plus successfully.

For Netflix i used the latest Netflix app apk from help.netflix.com (4.16.7 build 15235), which did install, but did open with an error message (this app is not made for this device or something like that, probably because of the newer Android Version 9).

Then Google Playstore recognized the Netflix app though and successfully updated it to version 8.20 which works on the device.

For Disney Plus i used the following apk mirror bundle (manually downloaded) from apkmirror.com: Disney+ 2.5.0-rc1 (160-640dpi). Then i installed that APK Bundle by using APKMirror Installer beta (from Google Playstore). I let the APKMirror installer automatically select the additionally required packages like split_config.xxhdpi.apk (480 - xxhdpi). Disney Plus App gets recognized in the playstore then too.

Prime, Disney Plus and Youtube vanced video playback worked, haven't tested it with Netflix yet, the Netflix app does open though.

What's not working for me:

Camera (as known)

LiveDisplay function (for automatically changing the screen colors at night) isn't working/not possible to switch on.

PS: The Netflix and Disney apps are only showing up in the playstore if the device is changed to a certified device by the afore mentioned magisk modules props usage. Even if you deinstall magisk after doing that, the device will show up as uncewrtified in playstore, but Netflix and Disney apps will still be available.

I also registered the devices Google Services Framework Android ID with Google on https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ (not sure if that matters much though, still shows as uncertified in Playstore without Magisk)

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for the content of the linked websites or any harm done to you or your devices.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MarvinMod:
You need magisk to make it say certified. You must force stop play store, wipe data and cache for play store then reboot. Without magisk, it will still come up as device not certified.

One of these pictures is of my Suez running march 1st rom, magisk and saftynet fix. All apps now working including gmail and google services.

@ggow attached is another picture of an issue with pipeline. It comes up with blue iris at 720p and above. Ill pull logs and post later for you but just a heads up.
