[ROM] [unlocked] [tank] LineageOS 12.1

[wwwkkk]

So one Question from me:
Connecting an USB 7Port Hub and putting 5 USB Sticks on it, there Lineage 12.1 won't be able to mount all the sticks.
On Lineage 19.1 running at the AFTV Stick Lite (codename Sheldon) it's no problem.

Is this fixable for some future release ?

Installed this firmware. Tell me which file to disable or delete so that when the stick starts, the wolf launcher is loaded, and not with custom firmware?

The patch is doing its work. The problem is with the Audio HAL. It always reports that DD and DD+ are available, even though the underlying sink (your device) does not support it. On my device, Prime Video always chose EAC3 (DD+) format and crashed as my device couldn't support that.

After analyzing blobs, I noticed that Fire OS passes some Dolby related params to Audio HAL during HDMI device setup, which are currently not sent by Lineage. Below is the build which should fix this issue. Along with that, it sets a few more flags required by Audio/Video decoders.

Download: lineage-12.1-20220120-UNOFFICIAL-tank.zip

Changes:
- Fixes Audio related issues with Amazon Prime and Netflix
- Several compatibility changes for HW blobs
- Latest Lineage sources (not sure what new you will get as 12.1 is almost dead)


A big thanks to @diegocr and other folks who have worked hard on this project.

PS: As usual, not warranties, flash at your own risk. Some apps might require WebView impl. Install Android System from play store.

First of all thanks for your amazing job.

I've just unlock and install this porting on one of my Amazon TV Stick TANK.
About the Bluetooth, I can't pair anything I own, no remote (also other brand), no PS4 controller.
The OS's find the device but after the confirmation for pairing, get an error on wrong passkey.

The issue list report Bluetooth trouble only with speakers.
There is any workaround / patch I haven't see?

Thanks for all

Hey guys! I've just unlocked my 2nd Gen TV Stick and installed this ROM. I have one very big issue though, and that issue is that the remote doesn't pair. I've tried resetting the remote, new batteries, using the remote from my Fire TV Gen 1 and nothing works. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hey,

soon getting my hands on a Fire TV Stick 2 with LOS already installed but given the information, the stick is very slow... is there any current development after the version 20220403?

Would you change to the newer 2022-Versions??

@BOOTMGR : was it possible to solve the problem with the non- connecting remotes? Which logs were necessary?

Thanks

Does anyone know where this green box is coming from? (no this is not from the camera app that I took the picture on) I have a fresh build from Sep 27 2022, and the first app I installed was Prime Video. I wiped and tried it again, installed Disney+ and the same result kept coming up. Is MLKit or something like that enabled?
FIXED

 

[kerta1n]

Also are there instructions for me to build LOS 14.1 for this device? https://github.com/cmtank/device_amazon_tank/tree/cm-14.1 I found the tree for 14.1 but no idea on how to build myself. (Main reason being that opengapps.org does not have a tvstock package for ARM Android 5.1) EDIT: I just found the GApps package here, but I still would love to compile myself a higher Android version for this stick.

I just realized that this was not the Pixel camera doing this, that was the behavior of the Windows camera app.

@Sir Charles82 @Pdwag11239 @mrbcrk check post #659. I can't remember which one, but either an update from Fire OS trying to update the remote prevents LOS from pairing with it, or it uses Wi-Fi direct. Correct me if I'm wrong. Still looking on how to compile 14.1

 

[Sir Charles82]

@kerta1n thanks For Posting the Link to opengapps For Android 5.1 as the Stick I Got Had a LOS 12.1 build from September 2020 on it, but without any GApps installed.
Had troubles in first Boot and configuring...it won't pair with the remote on 2020 builds also but finally....ist Worked. Only to find Out there were No Apps to try and install.
If LOS 14.1 will Work on the Stick, it surely speeds Things Up.

 

[kerta1n]

The linked Gapps build doesn't work?

 

[Sir Charles82]

I haven't figured out how to boot to TWRP...connected the stick to my computer but ADB doesn't see it...not even with the Amazon USB driver installed. I guess I have to put the stick back in his monitor and allow USB debugging and try it again.

Same exact thing happened to me. Going to try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-tv-stick-2nd-gen-tank.3907002/#post-79032383

I have tried repo syncing and compiling on an Ubuntu 14.04 VM with the instructions from GitHub.

GitHub - cmtank/android

Contribute to cmtank/android development by creating an account on GitHub.

Any advice? I got OpenJDK 7 and I think I got all the other packages required for Android 5.X.

 

[kerta1n]

And this was for LOS 14?

No it was for LOS 12, I wanted to experiment with some things in the code.
