Thanks for all of the work on this ROM. I've been away from custom Android ROMs since I finally hung up my HTC HD2 around the Android Lollipop days and it's been fun to get back into it. I've managed to get almost everything I need working very well on it. I am experiencing the occasional Wi-Fi drops, but they are short enough and auto-reconnect so don't impact me much.

One of the only things that I have not been able to get working is VPN split tunneling. Most of the time, the apps that are supposed to bypass VPN go over the VPN anyway. After some reinstalls of the VPN app, the apps that are supposed to bypass VPN cannot access the Internet while the VPN is on. I've tried everything I can think of, even wiping Data, Cache, and Dalvik and re-flashing the ROM. I believe I had the same issue on the 2023-02-16 version of the ROM but can't remember for sure.

Any ideas? Does anyone have VPN split tunneling working?

Thanks you so much for a great work on 14.1, 15.1 and 17.1 versions.

I have been using version 15.1 (20220614) on my douglas for a while and everything I use works perfectly, including microphone, camera and printing services.

I tryed 17.1 (20230520 with BitGapps core), which I feel it makes the device to have a better performance than with 15.1. However I miss the microphone which is needed in several apps, and the printing services which cause to crash any app trying to print.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] jpsshield:
Yes, thank you. I have been messing with two 2017 Fire HD 8's. I am having wifi connectivity issues and microphone does not work. I was hoping to repurpose them to use as Alexa touch screen controls for smart home devices. Alexa wont even install on LineageOS 15.1. I managed to update one of them to 17.1 Alexa install and seems to try to work but crashes all the time prob when trying to access the microphone? Maybe I will try external mic...LOL

edit...I just tried again on 15.1 and Alexa and microphone works. For wifi what have been the best setting?

I would like to try this on one of my old 2017 fire HD 8 tablet and give some more life.But going thru the check list of items i need to do this i can not get or download the mtk-su file needed to root the device using TWRP. The link on this site seems to give an error when clicking the link. Is this still needed?

First of all, thanks again for your hard work on this old device @Rortiz2 .

Same thing here, I moved from 15.1 build where there were some wifi drops from time to time, but on this rom they are much more frequent . I would say every half an hour or so. Entering and exiting airplane mode fix it immediately.

Sadly I broke my USB port long time ago (I'm using a cable with a P4 plug on it) and I can't do a logcat from USB debugging. Is there a way to get a logcat directly on device? If yes, I will be pleased to share it with you.

Worse case scenario: is possible to revert to a stock rom, possibly debloated?

I'm seeing wifi dropping out ±every 10 mins on 17.1-20230520-UNOFFICIAL-douglas.

I've checked the access point's settings to check that re-keying only happens every 24 hours and cant see anything else from the AP side that would causing the disconnect. On the device side I have the following config: https://gist.github.com/imaginator/f61dfa3d38ee74a6df3a992647880a88

WPA_supplicant log https://gist.github.com/imaginator/c9f6cb28e756f38e84f0e8bb014d601a

Access point config: https://gist.github.com/imaginator/b55e4b1411c828d6b81337861283bac5

I'm wondering if the out of memory issue in the logs is related to the wifi driver or part of a query. How else could I debug this disconnect?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Hanululu:
Did you change anything to it? I read still "only pico will fit". I thought about 1st-time-trying aroma to put a little more...

Edit: pico also doesnt fit. I used open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20220215.zip from the given link. It has 179MB. :/

Hi everyone, is there a full guide to install Lineage OS on Fire HD 8 Giza with Fire OS 5.7.0.0 (626549020)? Or will there be a new full guide with the Lineage OS 18 version?

I've tried everything possible in the various instructions but nothing seems to work. I can't get the device rooted, neither temporarily with mtk-su nor with Magisk, Kingoroot, SuperSU.

Accordingly, I cannot install TWPR and execute the remaining steps. This is very frustrating :(

Thank you guys!

Considering the ROM is in a very alpha state, I can't say anything, because only the most basic things work.​

I am curious how to get gapps pico to load on this ? Were the earlier versions of gapps smaller ? Or were the earlier versions of lineage smaller ? I tried previous build but still Gapps pico won't install. I tried to install gapps 8.1 and it didn't like that and wouldn't load. At least I got my giza rooted and twrp using the brick it method - that was fun ! Thanks for the development - guess I can always go to the 15.1 version.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] FreakyyLike:
Try Bitgapps (Core)

Worked for me back then
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] platypoid:
Thanks it worked ! - I was using link to Open Gapps from first page instruction and getting Pico which is 184,000 kb . The Core from Bitgapps was only 62,000 kb and it installed - thanks for the link.

Will there be any chance that the front camera will get functional ?

I've been using this tablet as my home assistant wall tablet with Fully Kiosk Browser.

And I then use the front camera to wake up the tablet :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] :
I second to install bitgapps vs opengapps as I waa having the same space error. I did not try the aroma installer via opengapps. There are other gapps flavors too like mindthegapps,nikgapps, and microg as well as the already mentioned opengapps and bitgapps.

Has anyone had success getting xposed/edexposed (or other variant) installed on this device (Giza - 6th Gen Fire HD 8)? I could not resolve the manager saying that xposed wasn't installed despite having I thought were the right version modules installed in magisk. I gave up on it and restored from backup, hoping I might attempt it again later sometime.I havn't tried LSposed. Any info would be appreciated.

Can you please give me details on activities i can on this version of lineage os without any problems. Mainly can i run youtube and games and whatsapp.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] platypoid:
youtube is working fine on the 8 inch giza . I also did a 10 inch suez for a friend and on that one youtube would zoom in and not show full screen . But playing youtube now on this 8 inch giza it looks very good.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] moriel5:
Personally, I prefer watching YouTube videos via NewPipe, regardless of device or ROM, as it (objectively) requires much less system resources and (subjectively) provides a far better viewing experience.

Don't know if this version has

I'm not sure if 17.1 has the issue, but with 15.1, if the battery dies or you reboot and you use ReVanced/MicroG, MicroG will lose your accounts and you have to log in again.

I use fire hd 8 2017. Is this the 8 inch you are talking about? Then what about games and other stuff like mails and all
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] MinecraftOP:
What about battery life also and suggest me should i use LOS 15.1 or LOS 17.1. Please that would be helpful
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] error220:
I've followed this guide and worked like a charm, no issues at all.

My Giza tab has now a new life. Only thing is that I had to install los 15.1 (installed pico gapps 8.1 arm64 with no issues), as on los 17.1 it was impossible for me to install gapps due to the lack of space issue, even tried with bitgapps (bitgapp getting crashed every time I tried downloading gapps from there), so I quit and flashed los 15.1. Really happy with it.

Only relevant issues I really experienced are:

1. Random WiFi drops, some times I need to toggle off and on to connect to my WiFi

2. Battery some times drains really fast, even with the tab screen off

3. Netflix sound is really low, other apps like YouTube or even watching videos from vlc or online websites , sound works well.

Cheers.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] TheHitMan:
When you clean flash ROM, Google Play Store and Play Services tends update on its own, it happens in background. If you try to launch playstore, it will either crash or pending download. Let that background update happen and do your stuff after that.

BiTGApps

Google Apps Package

bitgapps.io
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] error220:
I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip.

I'll flash los 17.1 and let you know.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] error220:
It worked, 17.1 clean flashed, installed bitgapps 10 arm64 core with no issues.

Issues I can tell at the moment:

1. Battery drains out faster than in 15.1 (that's my impression) 25% screen off

2. Random WiFi drops still present

I'll use this version for a while and check if I stay here or downgrade back to 15.1

Cheers.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] bankerjoe:
Way late to this party too. On Douglas, using 17.1, with BiTGApps Core, and I thought I also installed Magisk (27.0), although I don't see that right now. Much gratitude, it runs pretty well/smoothly, little if any lag.

However, I only just started using it today, and I appear to also have the WiFi issues noted previously in this thread. It's only happened once or twice while awake, but it generally seems to happen when the screen is off. The "fix" has been what I saw previously as well (toggle wifi off and on again). I will try Naptime I guess when I get the opportunity.

And another question I had....I can't seem to find how to move what apps I can to the SD card I have installed.

Thoughts as to why I can't install Google Calendar?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] bankerjoe:
So, FWIW, I don't think the wifi cuts off when plugged in and charging. I'm not sure how to verify this, though.

Update - actually, it still does. It may just take longer to cut off, I think.

Also, printing doesn't work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Thanks for the report, I'll take a look.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] JSquare:
Nope, same issue as LOS 15.1
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] JSquare:
Anyone knows why the screen is dimmer with Android 10 than 8.1?

My Fire HD doesn't look the same (IPS screen) after installing LOS 17.1
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Nimrud7:
Nope
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Does the camera app appear in the Launcher? Would you mind taking logs while trying to start the camera?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Could you please elaborate your question? What do you mean by dimmer than 8.1? Is the brightness lower?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Korin67:
In my installation, camera is okay. It is bright enough without doing any ajustment. Video can start but not recording. I guess camera is much better than that of LOS15.1.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] kirik_party:
I've come across another issue. I don't know if its down to ROM, but this doesn't happen on my other Android 10 device.

Apps built using Flutter are 'Tearing' / Flickering (I don't know what else to call it)

To reproduce: Install any of these:

1. Aves Gallery: https://github.com/deckerst/aves

2. Everyday Tasks: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.jepfa.personaltasklogger/

3. Koduko: https://github.com/Mazahir26/koduko

The Tearing/Flickering is making these apps unusable.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] kirik_party:
I've also had a few apps crash; most notably Newpipe and F-droid. Attached is the relevant logcat for Newpipe crash:

https://privatebin.net/?b6d52108d8fdce86#9AtoQhLbjcZbJsvE4GMU5gGN3dWJp2KPqezajz5YvSM8

Newpipe works alright for sometime, then starts crashing. Mostly requires a Reinstall to work again, but crashes again after some use (~30-40 minutes I'd say).

(Info that might be relevant: I use muntashirakon's App Manager - https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager/ - to block Newpipe's Acra sending service)

Yes, the brightness is lower even at 100% and adaptive brightness disabled.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] cellist:
On my Giza, I went from LineageOS 15.1 to 17.1 by wiping Dalvik and Cache in TWRP, and then pushing the new ROM through ADB sideload. I wanted to keep my installed software and configurations, that is why I went this route. LineageOS works basically, but it is flawed, and this is because of my short-cut installation path, I am quite certain (maybe I should have wiped system as well?). For example, screen rotation does not work, and neither do camera (did not work in 15.1 either) and microphone. However, I am also under the impression that this ROM offers a bit more speed, though I have not measured it yet.

BTW: Judith Durham died yesterday - what a beautiful voice!!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
When changes are made to the Android version (i.e version jump(s)/updates), it's always recommended to wipe everything (i.e start from 0, clean flash) to avoid potential problems. The bugs you mentioned are already known and are listed in the bugs section.

I'm glad to hear everyone is giving me positive feedback about the speed and smoothness of this ROM. Honestly, I spent most of my time optimizing the ROM to the max in order to take advantage of the full performance of this tablet.

I will continue working on fixing all the remaining bugs (I'm currently focusing on the annoying graphical glitches) as soon as possible. I only ask for a little of patience, as I am on vacation and I would like to enjoy my free time as well. I will keep you guys updated.​
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
In my case, both 5Ghz and 2.4GHz are working fine (no dropouts, connection is generally stable). What router do you have? Could you please attach log files, in this case it would help me a lot to debug the problem as I can't reproduce this on my device.​
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Thanks for the report, I hadn't noticed that (I'm not a very detail oriented person and I tend to forget how things used to be in previous versions). I probably missed something inside the overlays, I'll take a look and I'll include the fix in the next version.​

This build has been working just great for me. I did do a clean install, easy enough for me as I backed up everything of importance a long time ago. Feels very snappy (given the age of the hardware) and everything that I care about works. (I have never used the camera on the Kindle. No need for me.) No question that @Rortiz2 did a great job.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
Unfortunately I think there is no way to do that natively (I don't recall seeing any section in Settings to control that). However, you can always use third party apps as a temporary workaround.

Anyway, I think I'm about to hit the key to fix this annoying bug, so expect it to be fixed soon. Fixed! Will include the fix into the new build.​

I never used 14.1, so no idea on that one.

Sorry about the n00b question and I know it's probably not recommended, but can you (successfully) flash the ROM without the step of "Wipe data, system (/system_root) and cache" in order to upgrade to a newer release of 17.1 or even to move from 15.1?

It seems fairly rough to have to reinstall everything every new bug fix.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Rortiz2:
You can try, but I'd say there's a 70% chance it won't work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] robonxt:
Hmm, I'm not able to connect to my network, even though it is not hidden. I tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz, but it saves the network and doesn't connect. I can do a fresh wipe, but this is interesting.
