I think the issue is bigger than just my TV's resolution limitation though... I really don't think the ROM is loading properly. When I power on the stick, I see Amazon logo for five seconds --> blank screen with only giant mouse cursor showing. And no matter what keys I press on a USB-OTG keyboard, the only keys that do anything are volume up and down, which show a scrambled volume-level notification on screen. Shouldn't I see more than just the blank screen/shouldn't other buttons ('Home' for example) make something happen on the screen?

Here is a video:

Edit: the "Tab" key makes a key-press tapping sound, but that's it!

Try it on someone else TV/Monitor. To get sure that its having problem with rom. If it works on other TV then its ur TV problem.

Using the 10/14 build, I can't get the Settings to open if I install the Amazon App Store. I've attached a logcat with the error(s).

Everything else still seems smooth. Haven't had problems updating in-place from version to version.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm giving up for now :-/

I tried it on my high-end projector, and on a friend's fancy brand-new TV and same exact results - all I get is a giant mouse arrow pointer and a scrambled volume menu. I must not have flashed everything properly. I have retried and retried over and over but still no luck :-/

Is your device Amazon Fire Stick Gen 2 (codename 'tank')?
I guess no one had this type of problem

Yes I did. It was working until it was rebooted. Any ideas on how I can re-pair the remote?

Anyone think something like this would let me use a mouse ?

Ya this OTG will allow u to use mouse and keyboard. After that u can go to settings and add Bluetooth device which is ur remote.

If u want to get ur remote working (without buying OTG) then flash again lineage os. And u will get remote working. Remember while using fire stick do not remove the battery of ur remote.

Interesting how it got unpaired. It's true after the setup process the device reboots once. But in my case it didn't get unpaired.

Yes!

It must be something I am doing incorrectly since most everyone else seems to have been successful in flashing the ROM.

Thanks tamojit_ray. I will pick the otg cable up today. Normally I would just reflash the os, but my firestick shows adb unauthorised and unless i can accept the connection request on the screen while remote adbing in, I cannot cannot connect. Once I accept the request on screen, I am then able to plug it into my computer and run an adb shell.

    This is an LineageOS 12.1 build for Amazon TV Stick (aka TANK).

    DON'T UPDATE MAGISK WITH THE APP. THIS WILL BRICK THE DEVICE AND YOU WILL NEED TO UNLOCK IT AGAIN!

    Issues:
    • Netflix won't play 5.1 audio videos on some TVs.
    • Can't pair bluetooth speakers.
    • On latest versions of Prime Video text is not show on some buttons.
    • Permissive kernel

    Installation:
    Connect device to pc with a USB cable, don't use tcp adb
    • Reboot tank to recovery
    • Adb push rom to /sdcard/
    • Wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and system if you come from stock or another rom.
      adb shell
      twrp wipe data
      twrp wipe cache
      twrp wipe dalvik
      twrp wipe system (if it gives error, try adding "/" /system)
    • Flash Rom:
      twrp install /sdcard/lineage-12.1-xxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-tank.zip
    • Reboot and pair remote, if fails reboot and try again, complete setup wizard.
    • Reboot to recovery and install magisk, microG .........
    • Enjoy

    Quote:
    On first boot it will ask you for pair the TV Remote. For do that, press the home button 10 secs or more.
    If don't pair on first start reboot and pair again

    How to get DRM Playback working

    I analyzed the binaries in the stock rom and found the missing patch to get secure video playback working. libstagefright needs to set an special gralloc usage flag. For the devs, here is the source patch for frameworks/av:
    Code: 
    diff --git a/media/libstagefright/ACodec.cpp b/media/libstagefright/ACodec.cpp
index cdeb161f7..130dc18c4 100644
--- a/media/libstagefright/ACodec.cpp
+++ b/media/libstagefright/ACodec.cpp
@@ -784,6 +784,12 @@ status_t ACodec::configureOutputBuffersFromNativeWindow(
         usage |= GRALLOC_USAGE_PROTECTED;
     }
 
+#define GRALLOC_USAGE_SECURE 0x01000000;
+    if (mFlags & kFlagIsSecure) {
+        usage |= GRALLOC_USAGE_SECURE;
+        ALOGW("ACODEC: use GRALLOC_USAGE_SECURE\n");
+    }
+
     // Make sure to check whether either Stagefright or the video decoder
     // requested protected buffers.
     if (usage & GRALLOC_USAGE_PROTECTED) {
    I will attache a patched libstagefright version to the post. Copy it over /system/lib/libstagefright.so and it should work. I tested it with the official prime video app.

    So I looked at it a little more. This OS is a nuisance! Apps I install do not show up on the launcher and no matter what I do, no Google anything! I have LineageOS on both of my Fire Tablets and it is nothing like this.

    I'm going to do some more tinkering and see what I can find.

    Please fix this as I'm probably going to go back to the old FireOS for the Fire Stick 2. I can try to flash GApps to that and somehow get it to work.

    Sorry? I think it goes without saying that. If someone read the first post there would be no such doubts. THIS ROM IS ADAPTED FOR ANDROID TV AND IS A BETA.
    If you don't like it, don't install it.
    It is very angry that we have worked hard on this ROM so that you come now and insult it. This doesn't make sense
