[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][11] LineageOS 18.1 for Fire TV Stick Lite/3rd gen (sheldon/p)

[mclarenf195]

Hi, I recently managed to install lineageOS on a fire tv lite, in general everything works fine for me, the only app that gives me an error is netflix, is there a solution? Many thanks to the ROM developers I was able to save a blacklisted fire stick

I have a 4k(mantis), will I brick it if I flash LineageOS? Problem I have is, Amazon told me not to return the 4k and I cannot register. I am not sure if e-fuse tripped by Amazon yet. Kamakiri worked, have access to TWRP through adb (no OTG)

I just want to know if I twrp install Lineage, will I brick it forever? Ubuntu maybe? Anything I can do without Amazon registration?

Edit: looking at the mantis info from this thread github, mantis is also a mt8695. So it might not work, but it should not brick it, right? Meaning if it doesn't flash, I can flash pre-root stock ROM back? I am feeling brave. Wish me luck.

Thanks

Hi everyone. So im new in this. I did all the steps and it worked. If someone can help me with my next questions.
1--- I installed some apk files and some don't show up, any way to fix this?
2--- Can i change the theme or launcher and how?
3--- Im using a remote with a dongle, the back button dont work, is that normal? It works on other devices.
Thx

1- wierd, I did you check the apps instead of just the home drawer? Also sound alike a problem which was in the first release of this rom. Have you updated to the latest version?
2.search this thread
3.use the standard one... Lol

Hi thx for ur answers.
1- i can see the installed apps in the settings or with a other app. Its just inconvenient, i tought because this a lineage rom this wouldn't happen.
2- i looked allot of pages and didn't find it. I will look again.
3- i dont have the standard remote but i just bought one.

I want to ask if someone is able to control volume (and Power, HDMI Input) of the connected TV over CEC functions (or by reprogramming keys of the BT-remote)?

Using latest release and the same problem with apps I sideloaded. Apps installed through google Play show up.

reboot your fire stick in recovery mode from the lineage OS menu, connected with the pc with fireISO . Then copy the rom into fire stick memory and from twrp you can install rom

riavvia il tuo fire stick in modalità di ripristino dal menu del sistema operativo di lignaggio, collegato al pc con fireISO . Quindi copia la rom nella memoria della fire stick e da twrp puoi installare la rom

thanks <3

Start your fire stick with a pc with fireISO. In Lineage OS under setting select buttons and check if advanced reboot is activate. Then go to reboot and select recovery. It will reboot in TWRP. Mount the memory, copy the zip rom file into the fire stick and flash it with twrp ( 1- adb devices 2- adb shell 3- twrp install rom.zip 4- exit 5- adb reboot)

If Netflix is a must have for you too, check out check out this ready made pre-rooted AmazonOS ROM with Netflix installed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...weaked-google-play-debloated-7-2-4-9.4514749/

Hi,
i went to a local store (Mediamarkt, Austria) and got one with a good DSN number (i got G071EL11132....). A little damage on the box and no one bought it

Also there where a lot of wired DSN numbers also (i looked at about ~100 boxes) which had the numbers starting with EL03, EL04, EL05 and EL06. Not sure it hey are simply really old or have an other numbering.

Anyway i have one problem:
When i start the firetv (with lineage) i have to press the home + return button for 5s to get the remote to work. After a little green/yellow flash the remote works instantly (not like it has to pair again). Is this normal behavior? I never used anything firetv related. Also i never configured fireos further than pairing the remote as i didn't plan to use it anyways, could this be a problem? I flashed ...sheldonp-PS7234_user_2042_0020166736516.bin as i thought it would have a newer vendor or something like that (i know now that lineage contains vendor).
logcat does not report anything interesting except spamming:

02-09 11:10:28.882 0 0 I [ [email protected]] init: processing action (sys.usb.config=adb && sys.usb.configfs=1 && sys.usb.ffs.ready=1) from (/system/etc/init/hw/init.usb.configfs.rc:20) 02-09 11:10:28.882 0 0 I [ [email protected]] init: Command 'symlink /config/usb_gadget/g1/functions/ffs.adb /config/usb_gadget/g1/configs/b.1/f1' action=sys.usb.config=adb && sys.usb.configfs=1 && sys.usb.ffs.ready=1 (/system/etc/init/hw/init.usb.configfs.rc:22) took 0ms and failed: symlink() failed: File exists 02-09 11:10:28.883 0 0 I [ [email protected]] init: Command 'write /config/usb_gadget/g1/UDC ${sys.usb.controller}' action=sys.usb.config=adb && sys.usb.configfs=1 && sys.usb.ffs.ready=1 (/system/etc/init/hw/init.usb.configfs.rc:23) took 0ms and failed: Unable to write to file '/config/usb_gadget/g1/UDC': Unable to write file contents: No such device

Other than that the system works great.
And btw. scrcpy works great (even over the network) for setting everything up if you don't have an OTG keyboard/mouse.

Edit: i have reread this thread and saw that other people have the same problem, never mind than. I can provide any logs for sheldonp if needed

@Rortiz2 I have the impression there are 2 versions of sheldonp. Went from your ROM to stock in OP here but that had the same issues with no remote auto connect at reboot. Then I used another ROM and there was no problem at boot and pairing the remote. Maybe you can do something with this info? The ROM that worked on my sheldonp is:

https://d1s31zyz7dcc2d.cloudfront.net/cba496579e2e3668ef749fcb1b3d26aa/update-kindle-sheldonp-PS7242_user_3515_0021710617476.bin

Hope this project isn't dead yet.

Cheers

It's not dead, I'm just taking a break because I've had some personal problems lately. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Good to hear from you. Sad to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope things look up again soon! Actually I came back to the forum simply to say that it's been working great for me the past six months - worth mentioning for any prospective users, because of course most postings are concerned with difficulties that arise for some people.
