Strange.

Just installed, and the twrp display showed that it installed magisk 4 times..

Wait , it's not so odd.
The updater-script is coded to run 4 times.

Y is that?

Just a note, to whoever is gonna use this rom
, You need to add a widget to home screen. For all drawer, or you cannot get to them
>> Long press home screen
>> Select widget
>> Scroll to Nova
>> Choose nova action, select app drawer, place the widget on screen where you want

Yeah, noticed that before I uploaded it. superR's kitchen must of glitch out or something. Just fixed the updater-script and I will test and upload the rom tomorrow.
And I don't know why Nova launcher removed the arrows. Or maybe they didn't? Nova Launcher behaves differently when it's a system app.( It doesn't have the setup screen).

Edit: forgot to mention that Nova launcher is set up for you to swipe up to see all your apps in the newer version

The fire os revamped July 2019 Release candidate ver 2 is now available for download.
In this build, I am playing with the idea fo replacing nova launcher with Evie launcher. For right now I have two versions of fire os revamped available for download. One with nova launcher and the other with Evie launcher. so why am I making this change? well, Nova launcher wasn't really designed for being installed as a system app. (The nova launcher setup does not appear on the first launch.) So now the side effects on newer versions of nova launcher is that its setup for gestures but its not very clear that its setup that way. secondly, Evie launcher looks good out of the box and behaves correctly as a system app. This is not a final decision and I will offer both versions for the final July 2019 release.

Gestures for Evie:
-swipe up to show all apps
-swipe down for search
Gestures for nova:
-swipe up to show all apps and search

added stuff:
-add a note during install to swipe up on the home screen to show all apps.
fixed:
-fixed repeating magisk installs

you can download it here

I like the included "mi-x" plorer app, but there is also an app "file manager"
No need for two file apps. I have removed the file manager app and kept the mi-x it has root explore feature

I never even tried any of the amazon apps.

but i did notice poor battery stand-by. like 20% loss overnight.

I was so excited to try this, because the location works, and I am able to use my tv providers app. Which I couldn't on LOS because the location not working.

eventually a split between these two OS's will come.
for me there is one big negative to each choice

LOS = no location (fused is baked into fire OS somehow)
REVAMPTED = bad battery stand-by

Yeah, I noticed better battery life on LOS too. I am actually working on rebaceing this ROM to LOS so I don't have to worry about Amazon dependces and LOS is just a better ROM all around.

Speaking of your location issue. Did you report it?
And did you try the fire Nexus ROM?

Yes, fused location problem has been reported. Fixing it is hard, but it is listed or at least mentioned that it is being worked on.

By any chance, will you be doing a similar ROM for the 9th gen, Mustang? I just finished debloating and setting it up how I wanted after installing TWRP, and it's nearly as smooth as the LOS 14.1 build for the 8th gen HD8! I'm curious about how well a properly-cleaned ROM would run on the Mustang. (I'm hoping someone makes one for the 8th gen HD8, too, now that it has TWRP)

mrmazak · Jul 22, 2019

On the latest (pulled) revamped rom. I further debloated it by disabling more Amazon apps, and now battery standby has increased. Now only 2-4 % overnight instead of 10-15% + in same time .

Definitely some Amazon apps not able to connect must have been killing battery.

Yes, I will. I will start on it as soon as I can. The only problem is I'm going to need someone to test it because I don't have this device.

I found a new method for making these Rom's that makes it a lot easier to manage.

Ok, I will make a final build of this ROM with removed Amazon apps before I move over to Los. This is For people who need fuse location to work.

Whenever you get around to doing that feel free to mention me and I'd be happy to try it out on my Mustang. Looking forward to a version with the Amazon apps removed as you had also just mentioned. Thanks for the response!

What file system is the SD card? Fat32 or exfat?

I don't know what the size limit of SD card's that the tablet can handle. 128g is pretty big.

Edit: 64 gb SD card works fine. I'm using fat32 on it though.

mixmaxmux · Aug 2, 2019

Thanks,
I use this sd card with fire Nexus rom, without problem.I will try to use a 64g sd card and I'll let you know.
Thanks a lot
Max

Update: I tried using a 16G SD and it works, tomorrow I try with a 64G SD card.

Hi Barcia99,

You use the revemped rom last version on fire 7 austin?

What file system is the SD card? Fat32 or exfat?

Thanks
Max

edit: I normally use the 128gb with the same fire 7 tablet with rom like fire nexus or lineage, but as soon as I use this splendid rom the memory is not seen and I cannot understand why
