The last update made the Tablet faster for me. I think it could be faster in using discord because discord is loading very slow on 8.1 it was load way faster. Otherwise it be fine for me actually. Thx for the nice room.

I was a Greenify fan back in the day, but you should know that the dev behind it, Oasis Feng, stopped working on Greenify in 2019. You might want to try Naptime as a battery saver.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] munkymack:
Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.

Any idea if Naptime helps out with the doze issues on this device?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] munkymack:
I've taken a week to play around with Naptime on this device (thanks to @koop1955 for name-checking it), and I've seen some pretty stellar results that I wanted to share. I'll attach my settings to this post in case people want to try and duplicate my findings.

My setup:

I'm rooted with Magisk, and have granted superuser rights to Naptime. I'm also currently experimenting with being Google-free, using microG and downloading my apps anonymously from the Aurora Store and F-droid (via Aurora Droid)

Battery drain: Last night I fully charged and then unplugged before I went to bed. When I picked up my device around lunchtime today (so approximately 13 hours unplugged) I only saw a 4% battery drain

WiFi: I'd been having the WiFi issues that everyone else has reported. This is totally anecdotal, but Naptime seems to have minimized those issues...I rarely need to toggle the wifi on and off to get it to connect.

See below for my Naptime settings, as well as battery drain info from day before yesterday (note: anything under the Advanced Settings dropdown I retained the default settings).

Update: I'm now 47 hours since my last charge. Granted, my screen-on time is only an hour, but I'm still at 77% battery.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Asura24:
I can confirm that it works with naptime, I also tried to use the tablet without google services, for YouTube I used the revenced version.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] CuF:
Based on the description, Naptime is just supposed to accelerate Doze turning on. It is my understanding that doze doesn't work at all with this OS.

So it might fix the bug then(?)

If it really does work, it might be a clue for Rortiz2 where the issue is.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] koop1955:
I am a ROM version behind, just haven't had any spare time. @munkymack glad that I could be of help.

I am using Naptime on another device, also Lineage-based, and I have seen a marked improvement in battery life.

I'll catch up soon.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] rock_hzh:
Hello, I recently start to play with my old douglas devices and flashed in the rom in this thread. And I have to say I am really surprised about how smooth the system is running. And I'd also like to report that the wifi is constantly dropping. Unlike some of the previous comments that the wifi drops only after a long idle, it seems to me that the wifi would be disconnected every time I turn the device into sleep and wait for about a minute. And it would be very hard to reestablish the connection. Many times it would simply fail to find any available networks at all. And the same thing is happening to all my 3 devices.

Besides, I also want to dig into the great journey of contributing to the customized rom community, and I would certainly love to start from here. I have been going through the files post on github about this particular rom, but it seems there are only some configuration files there, which I don't really know how to use. Could anyone point a starting direction for me on this? The first step I want to do it to re-compile a same rom with the lineage source code and the configuration files available here? Thank you in advance!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] CuF:
Been testing Naptime since yesterday... and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

After 17 hours from a full charge and screen usage of 13 minutes, the battery is at 68%.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] koop1955:
That is really quite different than my experience. Check your settings? Also possible that you have an app that isn't happy with it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] FUNimations:
When i run OS Monitor (side loaded app) on the original OS, you see that of the 1.5 GB ram, there's about 60mb availbale after only booting the device. The OS uses 1.4GB! Is this rom memory friendlier, or is it comparable?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] CuF:
Possibly...

So, to be honest I'm running 15.1 not 17.1, but in theory the issue is identical.

I charged my tablet, used adb and gave permissions as requested and turned off battery optimization for Naptime.

With very little use, the tablet was completely dead in 48 hours.

I uninstalled Naptime, charged again and in 10 hours I'm still at 95% with an estimated 9 days remaining.

Could be v15.1, could be I messed up, but I dunno where the issue is.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cannondale0815:
I am very pleased with this new build -- just what the doctor ordered :)

Two observations:

1) WiFi doesn't automatically reconnect to my home network after not having used the device for a while. I then have to toggle WiFi off and back on and it then automatically connects to my Wifi.

2) Naptime seems to work ok -- although the logs only show it entered light sleep, never deep sleep. Still, battery life is very good on this build/device.

Thank you for this great build and for keeping this old device alive. I use it as my primary travel tablet and load it up with Plex videos before each trip.

P.S.: Regarding issue number 1 (WiFi), I cooked up a quick MacroDroid script to toggle WiFi off and back on when I unlock the device and there is no active WiFi connection -- seems to help
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] nuclear_bullet:
Late to the party, I'm about to get two Fire HD 8 douglas'. I'm really excited to try this rom, I see that it's being maintained and still developed on. Noice!!!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] CuF:
Just my opinion, but since it's a Douglas, if you need working cameras, go with 15.1. We use it for Zoom sessions so 17.1 is not an option.

It's still a great upgrade though.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] nuclear_bullet:
Thanks for the heads up, having two of them, I think I'm going to try them both. These tablets aren't going to be used for Zoom but just mainly as a IP Camera monitor and just media consumption for travel.

:)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] munkymack:
Unrelated to this ROM (I think) ... do you find that the downloading function of PLEX is dependable?

I've always found it to be utter garbage (though I keep trying). It will consistently re-download content, or forget what it was downloading and start over, rendering whatever I have on the device unusable. Every time I travel, I maybe get 50% of what I tried to sync that actually works properly.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cannondale0815:
The old "synchronization" feature was not dependable. It oftentimes outright refused to play any synchronized content when offline. The newer "download" feature appears to be more dependable so far.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] captaincrook:
Not sure of it works on 17.1, but on 15.1 I applied some Dalvik options in the build.prop that would eventually allow the system to maintain around 300MB free in the ZRAM area. I forget the setup exactly, but I know you can get quite a bit of performance out of the tablet. Sure, you'll still get a second or two to bring an app to the foreground sometimes, but it wouldn't stall out he system in doing so. That free 300MB allows the system rotate things around much better.

Just to note, I was initially using the tablet as is without any further tweaking, and without any GAPPs. The device would still hit the RAM limits very quickly and thrash. I looked into alleviating some of that in any way I can. I got it far more usable eventually, but I want to stress's I did not use GAPPs and froze quite a bit of apps to get there.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] munkymack:
Out of curiously, which an apps did you freeze? I'm also not using GAPPs
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] vjunk:
I turned on device encryption and now can’t get the tablet (douglas) to boot. When I turn the tablet on, it shows the Amazon logo for a few seconds, the LineageOS boot animation for several seconds, then the “To start Android, draw your pattern” screen. I draw my pattern, then see “Checking…”, then “Starting Android…”, then the LineageOS boot animation for a few minutes. It then reboots to TWRP (3.3.1-0) recovery and asks me to enter my pattern. I do that, but it says, “Pattern failed, please try again!” Between entering my pattern and that message, I briefly see the following:

Updating partition details…
…done
Unable to mount storage
RescueParty
E:Cannot decrypt adopted storage because /data will not mount

I’m running the latest build (Feb 2023). How can I get the tablet to boot with it encrypted?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Encryption is currently not supported by this ROM.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] vjunk:
Thank you for the quick reply. Can you put that under

Known issues

in the first post so others don’t try to turn on encryption? Thanks again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Done.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] SoftwareSucks:
I wanted to say thank you for your work on this ROM. When I got this running for the first time on my old giza tablet it was magical.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Encryption has been fixed.

EDIT: Partially fixed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
New build available

2023-05-20 [douglas] [giza]

Restored functionality for early suspend.

Transitioned to a generic variant for the CPU.

Activated GL composition backpressure.

Incorporated support for MicroG (signature spoofing).

Introduced UKSM (Ultra Kernel Samepage Merging).

Fine-tuned MEMCG settings (swappiness) for devices with lower RAM.

Implemented support for dynamic loading of Bluetooth device names.

Made partial fixes to FBE encryption (it's not yet compatible with lockscreen).

Kanged and updated the network stack from Umidigi F2 (aligning it with the most recent HIDLs).

ATTENTION: If you were previously experiencing difficulties with your Wi-Fi connection, kindly verify whether these issues have been resolved with the installation of the latest build.

CAUTION: The encryption function is not yet fully operational. If you try to use encryption while a password is in place, this could lead to a loss of personal data, as FBE is not wholly supported by our gatekeeper for now.​
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] xuyh0120:
Did not fix it for me. Wifi dropped out 3 times over 15 minute use, had to turn off/on wifi every time.

Do I have to install the update with TWRP or is it possible to update it via the internal Android Updater?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Can you please take logs of the issue, I can't reproduce what you're experiencing.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] kasumiii:
I Installed newest build it cant pass lineageos logo for me i got bootloop after updating and it shows Lineageos logo and goes back to recovery , Wasnt exepted that would happen.I needed to do a complete clean flash and those worked.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cellist:
a) I have access to both a Giza and a Douglas, and I could update both of them using "adb sideload" in TWRP (cleaning Cache, and Dalvik Cache thereby). I never had trouble with "adb sideload", it seems a very safe choice. MicroG status confirms that signature spoofing is working (!) on both devices.

b) What does not work on both devices is the microphone for the BOSS tuner application, so I cannot tune the strings on my instrument, but that did not work with the previous version either.

c) For another Giza I figured that I can no longer boot into recovery (it always boots into LineageOS). I can boot into fastboot mode, though. Is it possible to re-install TWRP from there, how would that work and is it worth a try at all? With TWRP available again, I would of cause also like to update the LineageOS on that one ;-)

@Rortiz2 , thank you so very much for caring about these tablets still!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] kasumiii:
The Rom works for me now. I didnt test it alot now if there is something , i will write here. Thx alot for the rom @Rortiz2
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
That's weird (and unexpected). Extract twrp.img from the latest amonet package (check the bin folder) and run the following commands (you need to enable rooted debugging in Developer Settings):​

adb push twrp.img /sdcard/twrp.img

adb root

adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/11230000.mmc/by-name/recovery_x"

adb shell "sync && reboot recovery"

After completing these steps, check to see if the TWRP recovery shows up on your device. As for the microphone problem, I will try to fix it in the upcoming version. So far, I managed to fix offline charging (or KPOC).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cellist:
Good morning and thank you very much - your steps worked the magic and the Giza can boot into TWRP again!!

@Rortiz2 I'm also still unable to connect to my routers Wifi. :cry:

I tried to access a 2.4 Ghz Wifi and after that a 5 Ghz. No connection to any WiFi is possible.

The only thing that is working for me is to start a WiFi-Hotspot on my Android Phone and then connect to that.

Update:

Also, OpenGapps Pico (188 mb) is not working for me (insufficient storage message), but MindTheGapps (133 mb) is working.

Which dload did you do to get the flipping clock animation? Is anything broken by installing this version?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Alucard_11:
Oh wow, thats a great today screen.

2 questions...

1. How do you take "screenshots" of ur Screen? is there a cab out there that does this? or did u just take a picture of the screen with a normal camera?

2. I have almost the same theme as you, but urs looks better, the Black dialer and the 3D circle when u get a new email/text, i Like. Anyway do you think you can link us to what you used? TF3D theme, WM today theme, and dialer?!? :-D

Thanks alot man!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iceman4357:
Agree, if you dont mind please post where you got the files.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] brooksthepro:
i didnt use any download specific for the fliping clock. It came with the TF3D black theme i downloaded.

direction on exactally how i made mine the way it is, is below:

to take screen shots i used a program called Ilium screen capture:

DOWNLOAD HERE

I used a variety of different things to make this work.

First i downloaded Diamond TF3D config HERE

I got the black TF3D theme here. i downloaded version 1.1b, this includes the white flip clock: HERE

install tf3d config and use it to install the tf3d .theme file u just downloaded

after this, (at least for me) the grey/white start menus on the top and bottom were still the stock color, not black. So i had to use this black today screen theme to change it to black too: HERE

after you download copy to device and click on the theme, then navigate to "today" in start/settings. There should be two themes called htc black. choose one and hit ok. took a few seconds but then everything changed to black :-)

Then i downloaded the black dialer called IPC Black Dialer ENG, copy to ur device and installHERE

everything from there looks great, but for me, i had to change the wallpaper back to the default, "bricks", in the tf3d settings menu, i also had to change the image in the start menu because mine was white from the previous setup and i couldnt read the items in it because they were both white, to change this. Download the black "bricks" wallpaper HERE and open it in the "pictures & video" program hit menu and then set as today wallpaper (this will change the image in the start menu to the black bricks.

i hope i didnt leave anything out. Let me know if u guys have trouble. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Alucard_11:
omg Brooksthepro...THANK YOU! :-D!!!

Really greatly appreciate that :-D!

ill use that cab to take screen shots from now on :) and when i flash NATF's ROM, i can get my Today screen back to how i had my Fuze. thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] starstreak:
Amazing how many things you have to do. Too bad its not a simple skin. :)

I'll give it a try after I backup my unit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] starstreak:
I installed it. I missed one important step. I still need to customize it, but at default, it's a bit more laggy than the att version. Since theres a fade on when going to another TF screen, theres a second or so pause. ATT just poped the other screen up so it seemed more zippy. I doubt its slower.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
I wish we could get rid of the fades to speed it up a little. When scrolling through the tabs it keeps wanting to open it up if I pause on it for a second to see which tab I'm at, the ATT stock theme didn't do that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] brooksthepro:
ya after using this for a few days iv noticed this also. Its a little slower then the stock at&t one....

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] starstreak:
Two things:

1) Anybody figured out how to remove the pause when moving form one tab to another?

2) Does the weather hack work to disply your town (to display a town not in the original listing) with this tf3d running?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] brooksthepro:
ya the pause is actually starting to piss me off too. Sucks because i LOVE how it looks. but sometimes its a pain to use :-(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] YellowGTO:
What pause? Are you talking about when you click left or right with the D-Pad I get a very short pause when i do that but when I use my finger to scroll I get no pause?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] brooksthepro:
were talking about the black one in the first post i posted. When scrolling from left to right in tf3d there is a pause before the menu selection comes up. It also seems to have significantly slowed down my text message typing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] YellowGTO:
Hmm I have an ATT Fuze. I installed the black theme but then I modded its a little bit. I was getting lag from the black theme but when I changed the clock it seemed to go away. Maybe this is why it was not on the ATT version? The other clocks with flipping don't seem to slow the device down at all.

You have a friend named Nacho, that's awesome, lol.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
If you're willing to use a different ROM, I basically have the same theme without the lag at all.

Install the 1.40.1 ROMeOS ROM, which gives you the black windows mobile theme, and the black tabs in TF3D.

This installs a black clock, to get the white one (that flips), download the zip in this post and copy all the files into your /Windows/ directory and overwrite the existing ones: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2920157&postcount=2615

From your post, download the "bricks" wallpaper from here: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/brooksthepro/Backgroundnc.jpg

The go to the settings tab in TF3D and change the wallpaper from there.

You can also install your black dialer just fine, but I couldn't install the calculator style I found for some reason.

This method makes it just as quick as the NATF's ROM when switching between tabs with no lag at all.

The ROM is pretty nice too, seems quick and stable for me.
