Excellent work guys!! I am so excited to finally have stock android on my tablet. I have been following the root progress ever since I got in when it was brand new. Can't wait to install this!

EDIT: Just installed it. I love it so far! It's very nice having a stock android experience on this wonderful tablet. IMHO it seems speeder but it may just be because there's not as many apps because I had allot, but overall, great work!

 

[mileyrock]

other than the stuff outlined above everything else works right?
and is it possible that the headphones are an easy fix

 

[Crosby87mvp]

Working perfect thanks for your work, and for anyone wondering what Gapps to flash use arm64-5.1-nano

 

[helpsliprich]

Works fantastic. Thank you!!

 

[mileyrock]

i tried it and its fine but its really slow with 5g internet and magisk's hide feature doesn't work

 

[mileyrock]

is it possible to return it to stock?

 

[Gwenm]

This is great! Thank you very much! I've been waiting for this since I bought this tablet

Wired headphones is a known bug in mt81xx amazon based tablets. It needs modifications in kernel source so it's not really easy to fix, it can take some time.
Also we tested the ROM and we only noticed that issues but there can be more.
Regards.

 

[Rortiz2]

You should be able to return to FireOS by flashing update.bin tought TWRP.
Regards.

Thank you, I'm very happy and surprised to see this!

 

[Rortiz2]

Thank you, I'm very happy and surprised to see this!

Remember that @t0x1cSH fixed almost all the bugs so give him tanks too.
Glad that you enjoy the ROM.

@Rortiz2 congratz on getting it to work. I don't have my tablet for a few days, but am looking to forward to trying it out.

Also based on the above quote, the ROM is 64 bit?!? That's awesome.

Is there a plan to make the Karnak ROM 64 bit in the future?

• The ROM is 64 bit because stock FireOS is it too.
• No, it's impossible to boot a 64 bit OS on a device without proprietary 64 libs.

Regards.

@Rortiz2 Are you working on the Headphone Issue? How long it will take? It's the only thing that's keeping me away from the Rom. I consume a lot of media using wired headphones.

Anyway, thanks for your hard work!
