i am trying to create an app that can call Prime Video movies.

My app will have a selection of movies curated by me, and it will deep link to a Prime Video title when the user click's on the movie poster.

I haven't found a solution here: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tv/deep-linking-featured-content.html

This is a short video of what I intend to do.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshyakadamien:
Sounds like a good idea, but what is the purpose?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalq1978:
To have an app that is a guide. This is for a Branded Content project. The client wants to create a curated list of movies for the vacation. The content will be based around Amazon Prime Video movies.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuegejds:
Using a specific app like Pikashow doesn't change the technical steps mentioned above. Your app's functionality primarily relies on the integration with the Prime Video service, not on the source of the curated movie list.

Regarding the use of Pikashow for Firestick latest version while it's essential to curate your movie selection, the deep linking process remains consistent. You would still need access to the Prime Video API and generate deep links based on the movie's ID or title, as supported by the API.

Remember to comply with Amazon's Prime Video API terms and conditions when developing your app to ensure it operates within the legal and policy boundaries.

What is the latest software version for this device? I just got a Moto Edge+ 2022 XT2201-3 direct from Motorola and it only upgraded to February 2023, build S3SHS32.12-41-4-4... Is that the latest version?

I thought this device had Android 13 already...

That sounds about right. No it doesn't have android 13 yet but it is slated to get it at some point.

# Boot into twrp
$ adb reboot recovery

# in twrp, touch mount system

# get build.prop
$ adb pull /system/build.prop

Successfully did a clean install on my T819 with MindTheGapps package. Works fine as far as I can tell. Thank you a lot for your work!

Minor issue: The network traffic monitor always shows zero. Can someone confirm that? (Settings>System>Status Bar>Network traffic monitor)

Previously I used your LineageOS 18.1 builds on the T819, there the network traffic monitor worked perfectly.

[ROM][A5|7 2017][12/13/14] LineageOS 19.1/20/21 Unofficial

LineageOS 19.1/20/21 Unofficial for Galaxy A5|7 2017 LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13 (t), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. /* *...

xdaforums.com

In this thread for a unofficial LOS 20 ROM for the Samsung A5|7 2017, it's stated that the network traffic monitor isn't working too.

So maybe this is a LOS 20 problem..?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] serranolte:
@retiredtab first, thank you very much for this ROM! Incredible work..

Is it correct that there is no file/disk encryption available at all?

I understand that FDE is disabled, but it appears that FBE is disabled too.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] retiredtab:
When @K-BOX2022 tried my 18.1 T813 build on his T819, it resulted in a bootloop which is not surprising since I don't have a T819 to personally test on. See

https://xdaforums.com/t/unofficial-...or-sm-t813-june-9-2023.4540413/#post-88126157

So if 20 works on T819, that's good for you, but I cannot guarantee that future monthly builds will continue to work.

Obviously, any LTE isn't going to work since there's no code in the T813 for LTE. Since people are going to ask, I'll answer it now, I will NOT even try to add LTE code to the T813 device tree because there's no way for me to test it personally.

Also, for those with a T819 who want to try the 20 T813 build, you will have to know how to modify the rom zip file to remove the asserts. There will be no tutorial or written steps from me on how to do this since I cannot guarantee that 20 T813 will always work on T819.

The above is expected as per FAQ #17 as Google/AOSP dropped iptables in Android 12 and higher in favour of eBPF. Since our devices are "legacy" and our kernel is 3.10.108, it won't support eBPF and thus the above functionality will never work.

I can't remember where, but someone using one of my 19.1 builds on the various devices that I build for found a 3rd party app that achieves a similar thing where it shows network traffic. You can search xda for it.

See above and FAQ #17 for details.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] retiredtab:
Regarding FBE, as per

https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/encryption/file-based

=== begin ===

Dependencies​

To use the AOSP implementation of FBE securely, a device needs to meet the following dependencies:

Kernel Support for Ext4 encryption or F2FS encryption.

Keymaster Support with HAL version 1.0 or higher. There is no support for Keymaster 0.3 as that does not provide the necessary capabilities or assure sufficient protection for encryption keys.

Keymaster/Keystore and Gatekeeper must be implemented in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to provide protection for the DE keys so that an unauthorized OS (custom OS flashed onto the device) cannot simply request the DE keys.

Hardware Root of Trust and Verified Boot bound to the Keymaster initialization is required to ensure that DE keys are not accessible by an unauthorized operating system

Kernel support for Ext4 and F2FS encryption is available in the Android common kernels, version 3.18 and higher.

=== end ===

As I wrote in the above post, our kernel is 3.10.108 which is too old to support FBE.

Upgrading the kernel from 3.10 to 3.18 or higher is NOT a trivial task. For example, there might be one procedure called

abc (x, y, z)

in 3.10.

This same procedure in 3.18 might look like

abc (x, y, z, s)

The extra parameter "s" might be there for CVE security reasons. Thus any code that resides in the Samsung proprietary drivers (over 420 files) see

https://github.com/retiredtab/msm8976-common/blob/lineage-20/proprietary-files.txt

that makes a call to abc (x, y, z) will fail with the new 3.18 kernel.

If you're worried about your data not being encrypted, it's best to use apps that encrypt the data themselves.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] serranolte:
Thank you.

There is another issue I'm facing. The hardware back button actually closes the currently opened app, instead of firing a back action and going back to the last activity inside the app.

E.g. when using a web browser, the physical back button closes the browser, whereas I would expect the browser app to go back -1 inside the browsing history of the specific tab.

Is this a peculiarity of the new Android that I'm just not used to, or is it a bug?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] retiredtab:
Using the built in Browser app that comes with LineageOS, I have no problem using the physical back button going back -1 in the history. That is, it does not close the app.

Using SmartCookieWeb browser, it has no problems with physical back button either.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ArcSmurf:
Can confirm the physical back button behaves as expected in all the asps I use. Mainly chrome, Google news and email.

Think there is an option(system-buttons-back button-long press action) that allows you to set a long back press so it kills the foreground application - is this set and being triggered?

Update:

I have just set the option to test, and it doesn't need a very long press in order to trigger the app kill request. The software back button doesn't seem to trigger the kill request, and just behaves as back.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] NeXTSTEPP:
Thank you so much for releasing android 13 for this tab. I was extremely happy to see when it was released.

This version of LineageOS 20 works way better than 18.1. It is way smother and faster. The animations are smooth.

I wished the fingerprint sensor worked but its fine

I didn’t notice any battery life difference.

In Display Settings -> LiveDisplay, there isn’t any option to change to adaptive, dynamic or cinema mode. I wish you could add that in the upcoming build.

Bluetooth works fine with my airpods pro.

Again, Thanks for dedicating your precious time for this device. Bless You

Livedisplay was removed in the 20 build on January 24, 2023 because it causes the OS to crash and get stuck at the boot animation screen. I've added this to "what's not working" in post #1 now.

See

https://github.com/retiredtab/msm8976-common/commit/50c08ec0641a893b1572219ba1d5f46db20c5be0

If you need some feature like Livedisplay, take a look at some 3rd party apps in the play store or https://f-droid.org/en/ .

PS. The removal of Livedisplay is not uncommon in more recent Android versions. I had to do it as well for some of the other roms that I build.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Starfiresg1:
Hello,

I've been using LOS16 on my device for a few years and never bothered to update. Out of curiosity i wanted to give this a try - mainly to take a look at Android 13.

So i took a full backup - followed the instructions (updating TWRP and formatting / wiping the partitions) and everything went smoothly (y).

After playing around with it, I changed my mind and decided to stay with this and starting setting everything up again.

I haven't run into any major issues - this seems to be really stable.

I have noticed that i actually have a better battery life with this than with LOS16. Probably because the device doesn't get as hot as it did with LOS16, where the CPU area got quite warm even through I was simply browsing in Firefox.

Only kinks I ran into was the camera not working (which I knew beforehand) - that made it slightly more difficult to set up my wireguard tunnel. I think that is the only reason I ever used the camera since I got the tablet. :ROFLMAO:

I'm also happy to see that with the next release we will be able to turn off the soft buttons - looked a while for this setting until I saw the explanation in this thread.

I did a lot of setting hunting in general because of the large version jump - not everything was were I remembered it ;)

I can also report that screen cast is working - if I remember correctly it was reported to reboot the device in LOS17-threads in the past.

Regarding the back button: I didn't see any changed behaviour after updating - but I haven't set a long press action since I pretty much never have the need to close an app manually.

The only time the back button takes me out of the app is when there are actually no back actions to perform.

Thank you for this great release @retiredtab - never thought this tablet would get support for this long (y)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] retiredtab:

There's no sign of the July 5th security patches on

https://review.lineageos.org/q/status:open

Once they show up, it takes 3-5 days for them to get merged as people test them. Then it takes a 1-3 days for them to get merged into the LineageOS-UL repo that I use. Then it takes 4-5 hours for my local machine to download and merge them. Another 1.5 to 2 hours to compile, another 30-60 minutes to test, verify the functionality, upload and document everything.

The above is for every rom and various Android versions that I build for. It's a multiple day process for these monthly security patches.

So if you need the hide task bar, just follow the steps in post #6 and you will get that functionality immediately.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ArcSmurf:
That's a lot of downloading and compilation - many thanks in advance for the effort you are putting into keeping this tablet maintained. Haven't tried to compile the source myself for several years, probably should try and get a build environment working again.

July 13, 2023 release notes

1. Incorporates July 5th security patches as per https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:"T_asb_2023-07"

2. Add ability to disable taskbar via settings, system, buttons as per https://github.com/retiredtab/msm8976-common/commit/bd6dcf52eb7f0141f6119f321515d89447277a26

NOTE: If you want to disable the taskbar and the 3 soft button navigation, you MUST disable the 3 soft button navigation first via settings, system gestures, system navigation, then disable the taskbar via settings, system, buttons. If you do it in reverse order, the device will become very laggy and unresponsive and you have to reboot to get rid of it. Once rebooted, it will work fine.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Starfiresg1:
Thank you for the update - I encountered no problems during the upgrade :)

The setting for the taskbar is now indeed present (without modifying the prop-file) - although I've grown to like it by now and decided to keep it.

Thanks Retiredtab!

I just got this tablet back from a relative and would have never thought it would get this level of attention. It runs great! I like it better than my tab S7.

There is one odd issue. When in landscape the ASOP keyboard doesn't show the numbers above the letters. When you select the button to go to numbers it works fine, but when you select the button to go back to letters it won't. It stays on the number screen. Only way to get around it is to rotate to portrait or click on the emoji screen then back to letters.

Other than that I'm loving it! Thanks again!!

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] prkfsz:
Many thanks to the developer. Your continuous building is hugely appreciated!

Now I´ve had some time to play with the LOS20 and it works really good in my minimalist setup. No hiccupps, shutdowns or bugs that i´ve come across so far. Everything works like it should, wifi, bluetooth and all.

I have some issues tho. Pulldown menus and scrolling pages can be jerky at times, even tho nothing serious. What is a much bigger problem is that the battery lasts quite shortly. It lasted around 5hours on LOS18. Now it seems an hour or so less. And the tablet dies and starts bootlooping when it comes down to 20%, which it did not do previously.

I know it seems like the battery has deteriorated but in that case it was too abrupt. I will of course do some testing and troubleshooting, but at this point I wonder if anyone has had similar experiences.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] retiredtab:
I only have 6 things in my pulldown menu at the top and there's no jerkiness or lag for me. I also turn off animations as per FAQ 15 in post #2.

There's no way that much difference in battery life exists between 18.1 and 20. I test ALL my public rom builds for deep sleep and the functionality in post #1 in the "what works" section.

Here's a snapshot of my T813 running the July 13 build. As you can see, it has 27 days 18 hours uptime and it spent 96% of that time in deep sleep/suspend mode and I use the T813 daily.

I use devcheck by flar2 to check for deep sleep. You can download it from

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=devcheck&c=apps

or from the Aurora Store (which is how I get my copy).

It's ad free. If you're not getting > 80% deep sleep, then something's wrong likely with your configuration. It could be

1. You didn't do a clean flash and format data in TWRP as per FAQ when coming from 18.1 to 20.

2. You have an app that keeps waking up the device and not letting it go to sleep. You can use an app on xda called BetterBatteryStats

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-2-2-11-dec-2022-v3-1-betterbatterystats.1179809/

to help you identify the culprit.

3. You have an app that's crashing continuously and not letting the device go into deep sleep. You can use adb logcat to check.

When your T813 dies/bootloops at 20% battery life, that's a sure sign the battery is degraded. I can easily go down to 3% battery on my T813 with no bootloops and I bought my T813 used. I do have another tablet device that I bought used and it shutdowns at 30% battery so I know that battery is degraded.

In addition, posts #21 and #23 all comment about normal or better battery life. If you include the positive comments about the better battery life in the 20 T713 thread, which uses 99.999% of my code, the feedback has been positive.
