In a post on another topic you said that meanwhile you just concentrate on 14.1 development. So would you recommend to install the discontinued version of 14.1 from now on as you will update it sooner or later again? Or did you mean it any different?
[Fire Original Android Development] thebigphatmaster:
I would also like to know this (assuming the black screen issue has been fixed on 14) as unfortunately no cameras on 16 has become a deal-breaker
[Fire Original Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
I've got youtube (vanced) working fine on this lineage 16 build but am having issues with Wifi staying connected and the constant wifi searching is draining the battery fast.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
Hello, hope everyone is well.

I haven't got a mustang tablet at the moment. They were damaged in the flood that happened.

I have done a build which should fix the cameras, would someone be willing to test it for me before releasing it?

Let me know if you're willing to test and I'll message you with the link on PM.
[Fire Original Android Development] Graysters:
Hi ggow! Great to see you back!

I'm assuming this Is this just for mustang, or could it work on austin?

(I can help on austin, but sadly no mustang unit here either!)

Cheers,

Graham
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
Hi Graham,

Won't work on Austin. Mustang is a different beast.
[Fire Original Android Development] thebigphatmaster:
I have a mustang unit (well my daughter does) in a pretty minimally set-up state after leaving L14 because of the black screen issue - presumably its just a case of flashing the rom and gapps via twrp?
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
Should be able to just dirty flash the rom if you previously flashed opengapps. I'll PM you the link.
[Fire Original Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
I can test the camera build as well if you'd like.

Would you be able to look at the unstable wifi issue by any chance?
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
PM'd.

Can't look at the WiFi, as I have no tablet at the moment. I remember it been quite solid on my home setup. What problems are you seeing?
[Fire Original Android Development] thebigphatmaster:
It'd be great to know how you did this with vanced. the Play Store / vanced manager setup fails for me, i-player doesn't work and newpipe still refuses to play some smaller channel's videos. On the plus side, i have no wifi issues with LOS16 - wifi hunting would crash my tab on the stock rom

All done, cameras work great (checked in Zoom) - this means I can (hopefully) use zoom and emacs split screen for productivity. Video issue persist though.

Thanks so much for your work making these tiny devices actually usable.
[Fire Original Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
The way I worked around the video issues was by enabling "force gpu rendering" under developer options. I had zero issues installing vanced using their manager apk from their site.
[Fire Original Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
WiFi connects at first and works for about 5 minutes then the wifi driver crashes, resulting in no connection and an endless loop of wifi searching / massive battery drain. I turn wifi off and back on again and it does the same thing regardless of which wifi ssid or band I connect to. A reboot also restores the wifi for a short period of time. I've tried factory resetting, flashing latest twrp, reflashing rom and wiping cache to no avail.

This does not occur with a stock rom. Was gonna downgrade to los 14 to see if it happens there but haven't tried that yet. Besides this issue, everything else is working just fine. Battery charge lasts a while (over a week) while on airplane mode, so standby drain is excellent.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
New Build is Up

- [Build] Dated 25 January 2022

- [fixed] Cameras not working at all

Thanks to @keeepinitgansta and @thebigphatmaster for testing
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
What router are you connecting to and on what band?

If you have a dual band router are both bands combined on the same SSID?
[Fire Original Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
This occurs with either the 2.4 or 5ghz band. I never combine ssid's for multiple bands nor do I use band steering. I have some netgear r7000's both on stock and custom firmware as well as some asus rt68u's. As I've not had any wifi connectivity issues with any other device here in years, I assume the issue is isolated to this tablet and custom roms. It has worked fine for years on the stock rom and the same exact wifi setup. Just for kicks, I tried my phone's wifi hotspot and the same issue occurs. I will see if I can figure out whats going on here in regards.
[Fire Original Android Development] thebigphatmaster:
For what it's worth i have an r7000 on older stock FW (the r7000 is a sensitive beast). Used to have a ton of issues with the tablet on stock Amazon FW
[Fire Original Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
I prefer Fork Tomato / dd-wrt fw on it personally. Works much better than stock FW.
[Fire Original Android Development] thebigphatmaster:
I looked at the CFWs and was baffled, need to get on the case with that (and checking my dev options on the F7)
[Fire Original Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
Installed the new build. Camera is working fine now, but wifi is still unstable. Gonna play with tasker to see if I can get it to restart wifi every few minutes in order to maintain somewhat of a connection at least.

I would try LOS 14 but it's outdated and am afraid of that widespread SOD issue.
[Fire Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
@ggow you should try to use the prebuilt Wi-Fi HAL, that fixed Wi-Fi unstability for begonia and douglas
[Fire Original Android Development] Michajin:
my experience with mustang was to turn wifi off while sleeping. I use the app sleepy wifi. I am going to update and test some things later this week. I never had wifi connectivity issues though, just battery drain. Idle time was weeks with the wifi turned off.
[Fire Original Android Development] Michajin:
@ggow If you are in the US, I would gladly donate my mustang to you to replace the flooded one. I have a few devices I no longer use so it would be fine to be to donate anything to the development you do for the XDA community. If shipping is decent I might consider over seas. I know you don't message , but if you are interested please do.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
Thanks for the offer, I have another one on the way.
[Fire Original Android Development] wjcroft:
I see there have been 57 downloads of @ggow 's lineage-16.0-20220125-UNOFFICIAL-mustang.zip at https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=297948

Is anyone else using it successfully with both camera and wifi? With no wifi hanging issues?

@keeepinitgansta is reporting wifi not staying connected. But is this due to an unusual router situation at his location? I'd love to use the camera but not if it makes wifi unstable. My router here is a fairly vanilla AT&T DSL NVG589.

Thanks, William Croft
[Fire Original Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
Give it a shot and see if wifi is unstable for you, for me it still was so I went with lineage 14 instead. Wifi is more stable for me personally on 14 than it ever was on 16. i'm waiting on improvements in that regard before jumping back up to L16.
[Fire Original Android Development] rudironsoni:
Hi @ggow. I'm happy to see that you've managed to rearrange after the flood.

Can't imagine how hard it was for you and your family.

I noticed that both repositories (kernel and os) on your github are returning error 404, any reason for that?

I might be able to help with the kernel!

Thank you and hope to see this os flourishing!

Count me on!

Sorry for the silly question, but with the new build whwre the camera works, video recording doesn’t work right? I recorded a video and it didn't end up in the tablet storage

[Fire Original Android Development] nickveldrin:
I just dug up my old fire tablet with mustang on it and lineage 14.1 and put this 16.0 on it, but it seems like i'm not able to stream videos from my plex library.

I've tried adjusting every option to play back in a variety of resolutions and h264 versions, and can't get it to work.

Has anyone run into an issue trying to stream video or may have an idea on how to fix it?

--edit--

Oh, i see it's a known issue with video rendering. I'll keep an eye on the thread if one day it'll get fixed.
[Fire Original Android Development] klamation:
Aside from the video issue, how are you liking performance? I have the original 16.0 build on it, which seems pretty decent. It's much faster than my old Amazon ford tablet ever could be.
[Fire Original Android Development] nickveldrin:
Yeah its not bad overall. I don't use it much, as it was just a tinkering project to modify the tablet to run android for me. I do need more little plex media tablets to be able to have more options to watch my shows, so if that can ever get fixed, it'll get a lot more use. :)
[Fire Original Android Development] slacka123:
This is what I use mine for which is why I'm still on the Lineage-14.0 iso. As soon as the video playback issue is fixed in 16.0, I'll come back to this one.
[Fire Original Android Development] dd8zc:
I want to use my device as a tablet for Home Assistant next to the entrance door. Therefore I'm just curious, is this ROM still in dev or is it discontinued?
[Fire Original Android Development] Nazo:
None of us can actually answer for the author, but it looks like it's probably dead. No new updates in a very very long time and standing issues. Bear in mind this is a relatively oldish tablet that didn't have the best hardware (SoC is a MediaTek in particular -- could be worse, but definitely could be a lot better too) that was officially replaced with a newer model long ago (not sure if there are exploits for the newer ones or not, but I'm betting there are given the popularity and low pricerange of the series.)

That said, for most simple tasks it works fine. I really don't think you'll have any issues just using it as a home assistant. I only use mine for reading and keep it clean and simple and it's still very snappy at simple tasks with a good battery life. As a bit of a tip, if it will be around a lot of sunlight or bright overhead lights, get a matte finish screen protector for better bright light handling. (I'm assuming we're talking about inside. These are fairly cheaply made and not well sealed, so likely would be a bad idea to have outside if you had anything like that in mind.) The current build here seems to be pretty stable and reliable other than the known issues that shouldn't affect what you have in mind.
[Fire Original Android Development] dd8zc:
Thanks for your thoughts on this. I tried this ROM and come to a similar conclusion. Than I switched back to Lineage-14.1

The tablet is old, slow and the display is not really bright anymore. But it's to good to throw away. I installed fully kiosk browser to show a home assistant dashboard (still in evaluation therefore I didn't buy a licence until now). Also I cut the internet connection for this device. Works like charme for his last days before retirement.
[Fire Original Android Development] :
I dug out my old Fire 7 recently and flashed this onto it. Performs so much better than when it was running Fire OS. Shame video rendering isn't working, otherwise it's perfect for my uses. It lags so much less than when it was running Fire OS, really impressed with it so far.
[Fire Original Android Development] ForForkSake:
FYI this is god like. Thank you!..

Amazon have rendered this tablet as a paper weight with fire OS...

It's so quick and responsive.

Being pie I even dug out my gravity box pro license, after installing latest lsposed zygisk.

I can haz customises

I haven't faced such issues? YouTube and VLC.. Where specifically are you facing this issue? Or isit videos that you have shot on the camera?
[Fire Original Android Development] muzicman82:
HI all,

I've been having a problem with this ROM on a mustang Fire 7 where WiFi will just stop working after some time. Sometimes it'll show connected but nothing works and other times it will just disconnect from the network for no reason and not automatically connect to any network it has saved.

Any ideas? I just wiped the unit and flashed the latest version yesterday and WiFI crapped out while doing the initial setup.

It's definitely not an issue with my house's WiFi. I have dozens of devices and nothing else has a problem.
[Fire Original Android Development] :
VLC works, however videos on other apps such as Reddit and Brave don't seem to work for me, there's also a couple like Instagram that are hit and miss.
[Fire Original Android Development] ForForkSake:
Everything still working great here, here's a screen grab of YouTube reels.

The speed of this rom is phenomenal.

Seems like the mp4 playback issue might be fixed. I don't have access to my tablet right now but I can give it a shot in a few weeks when I do.
[Fire Original Android Development] Dan TBA:
Hello, just wondering if theres any solution of media playback for the [2022 jan pie] rom for amazon fire mustang? I am really in desperate of watching video on this tablet, but this pie rom's playback isnt fixed.

Granted, the 14.1 lineageos mustang version does do playback, but im still having screen-rendering issues, even flashing the all custom zips that others made in other 14.1 lineage mustang tread, and also, apps crashed like youtube, google, etc. So i also need some help on how to fully use 14.1 lineageos mustang without any errors.

I would be appreciated if you can help me with 14.1 lineageos mustang rom, I tried searching on it but cant find any solution for the apps, they just instantly crash after like a minute of usage.
[Fire Original Android Development] ScanuRag:
There's a commit on the repo currently that implies that it fixes the playback issue. I'm not sure if @ggow is planning to release another build, but If you're really desperate you could try to build it yourself. I've looked into it a bit and it seems tedious but doable provided you have a decently capable machine running Ubuntu. If you do go that route let me know how it goes.
[Fire Original Android Development] Dan TBA:
well, how do you even build a lineageos rom by yoyrself? doesnt it need all the coding and performace codes or something? or is it just use zip codes and compile it using linux commads. I have a px setup of gtx 960 and i5-3470 with 128 ssd
[Fire Original Android Development] ScanuRag:
You are correct that it needs "all of the coding and performance codes or something", in that each Lineage ROM requires device-specific code. To my knowledge, you need three device-specific things to build a ROM:

Kernel Source

Device Tree

Vendor Files

Thankfully, all of the work to make those has already been done for this device, and the developer was kind enough to post the source code for the kernel and device tree under an open-source license (See the GitHub links in the first post). The vendor files can be extracted from your device, so you shouldn't need to code anything to get it to work. You just need to compile the code that has already been written into an operating system, and it seems like there are pretty decent instructions for that on stack overflow.

All that said, you need at least 100GB of free space to do it and with your CPU it would take quite a while. Also, keep in mind that I haven't actually tried it (yet) so I am just going off of what I have read, and I'm probably wrong.
[Fire Original Android Development] Dan TBA:
Thanks for support, i really appreciate that : )

Also, i did saw one comment on this thread (or maybe on 14,1 lineageos mustang) that newpipe can playback videos flawlessly by switching the "Default Video Format" from mpeg-4 to WebP, and it really works! Gald i found it, but by exactly which one were you refering about "There's a commit on the repo currently that implies that it fixes the playback issue."?

And im a nooby in xda developers, so yeah
[Fire Original Android Development] ScanuRag:
The code in the device tree got updates a few months ago but no one has actually released a build including them yet, which is why building it yourself would fix the playback issue.

[Fire Original Android Development] Nazo:
FWIW you can always use a VM if the OS is an impediment. Building stuff is slow on weak machines/VMs, but it just takes longer rather than failing.

Sadly, for most of us end users, "just fork your own" is beyond us. If we knew how to do this stuff we wouldn't really be asking about it -- we'd just do it and report and share results.

That said, I wouldn't expect Mustang to be great at video watching though, just FYI. Its hardware limitations are somewhat severe. Great for book reading and the like, but videos would have to be fairly limited. It likely couldn't get a lot of good hardware acceleration in particular (even on stock frankly. It's not that great of a SoC -- but then these things were built to be cheap.) I don't know if we're talking video files placed on the tablet or Youtube or whatever, but if local files you may have to reencode and downsample a lot of them. If using anything like Youtube it may autodetect down pretty low or you may have to manually set it to extremely low quality. It may not be worth it with the results you'd get even if it had the full video capabilities of the model unless you're willing to manually reencode a lot of stuff to get the best balance of everything.

I consider my old Fire 7 tablets to be great for reading, looking stuff up, and that sort of thing, but wouldn't recommend attempting to do anything more serious on them. I recommend picking devices from official LineageOS support lists in particular before buying. I know that doesn't help you right now and we're not all overflowing with cash or we probably wouldn't be here, but it is something at least to bear in mind whenever you do buy. Actually, it's amazing they've been able to do this much with any Fire tablet given how closed and locked down they are all meant to be.
[Fire Original Android Development] ScanuRag:
Yeah I completely agree. I've been thinking about trying to build lineage for a while and it generally hasn't seemed worth it. Also I did try out the playback using the newpipe webm method and it seemed perfectly smooth. I really don't use fire all that much because with how large the bezels are the screen isn't much larger than my phone (a OnePlus 11). Unfortunately the screen is also pretty low res for watching videos and mono audio isn't awesome either.

Hello i just root my MI 10T with latest magisk installer (v21.4) and everything is working fine, safetynet passed and everything.

View attachment 5222741

But the problems comes when i tried to play games, it has something like appguard that detect root. i can't bypass the security guard with magisk hide. and i assume there is something wrong with my magisk, because my old phone (MIA2) can bypass that with magisk hide and my MIA2 doesn't even bypass safetynet.

View attachment 5222749

Installed magisk module:

-Magisk hide props

-Busybox

-Riru

-Riru edxposed

-Systemless host

-Universal safetynet fix

What i tried byfar:

-Change the magisk manager package

-Turn off developer mode

-Using Xprivacylua to prevent the game to read my installed app

None of them fix the problem
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] VD171:
Try using my app VD INFOS, you can see every detectable thing. (Root/Magisk/Xposed/Riru/and others.)
