LineageOS needs no introductions. This version of LineageOS-12.1 is a highly customised version solely for the Amazon Fire HD10

- EVEN MORE IMPORTANT: This ROM only works on devices using the bootloader hack. See <<< HERE >>> to unlock your devices.

- IMPORTANT: Do not update Magisk via the Magisk Manager App, your device will enter a bootloop if you do. Instead update Magisk via TWRP only. If you do this by accident then it is recoverable by just flashing the latest version of the ROM again (with gapps etc as required).

Rules
- Please search the thread before asking questions
- Please try to stay on topic, I know it's not always possible
- Please report bugs here
- Report only one issue per bug report
- When reporting bugs please post a logcat and/or dmesg containing pertinent information regarding the issue...
- Saying something isn't working without proper explanation will not attract any attention.

Known Issues
- Wired headphones do not work
- Camcorder does not work

Wow, I was not expecting to see this today. I know what I'm doing when I get home!

 

[Rortiz2]

Oh my god. Glad to see you here @ggow.

 

[coolloser]

Yay! What gapps package is recommended?

I think that arm64/5.1/pico will be OK.
BTW: just for be sure: @ggow is this ROM 64 bit system based no?

Yes, 64 bit gapps should be fine. The ROM is 64 bit.

Great to see a custom rom development for this model. Appreciate all the hard work made by the Dev here.

 

[Rortiz2]

Yes, 64 bit gapps should be fine. The ROM is 64 bit.

Cool. So I will wait until you release the device tree. I will use it as base for compile LOS 12.1 for another mt81xx device. I don't know how you do it but you are an expert with MTK tablets!

Works like a charm.
Installed it with Gapps & Magisk.

The only problem i encounter is in youtube.
The max resolution i can choose from is 360p.
Has this something to do with the build.prop?

I'm not sure what the issue is, but you could try YouTube Vanced. A Magisk Repo version is available (Magisk Manager > Downloads). For more info: https://youtubevanced.com

Nice, just now saw this!
Any chance you want to work on pie?
Have all the sources on github, if you want to look into it.

EDIT:
Just noticed the link to unlock points to the Fire 7 unlock thread.

Hi @k4y0z, yes for sure will look into pie.
I want to create a stable cm-12.1...
Then we can at least have a stable ROM whilst working on future versions.

I'll soon push all my device configs once I've sorted out the mess from today's prototyping.

Thanks for the head's up about the unlock link been wrong... Updated now

Yes definitely makes sense, and in hindsight would have spared me a lot of headaches starting with 12.1
My kernel has a few patches that might also be interesting for 12.1 such as SDCARDFS:
https://github.com/chaosmaster/android_kernel_amazon_suez/tree/lineage-16.0

Haven't yet properly upstreamed the kernel, but still planning to (unless you do first )

 

[k4y0z]

@ggow, one more thing I'd like to mention.

You could fix the symlinks for boot and boot_x like I'm doing in TWRP:
https://github.com/chaosmaster/android_device_amazon_suez/blob/master/recovery/root/fix-symlinks.sh

That way updating Magisk should also work with MagiskManager.

Netflix working for anyone? I've tried the static wallpaper fix, magisk lib module, magisk hide, and anything else I could think of. 5.10 error mostly, 0013 with older Netflix apks.

 

[sakibstark]

just to let you know, After installation, on the setup screen, I keep getting *Google services framework has stopped* message and it doesn't let me go beyond that screen.

Just as an update, after flashing, the Os goes into setup mode but keeps saying "google services framework has stopped"

I had similar problem on the Fire HD 8 using LOS 14.1. I just reinstalled the release from TWRP (dirty, no wiping) and then Netflix worked fine. Experience is from a different platform and rom, but might be worth a shot.

I personally flash the OS first, run it once and the reboot to twrp to install GAPPS. It might not matter, but sounds like your gonna be reinstalling something anyway.

Personally, I'd re-download GAPPS and then try that install again first. If that doesn't fix it, worth trying from scratch.
