Yes, I need to try and port Dolby Digital to KitKat, version 1.2 will not work with this ROM. The dolby port is low on my priority list as I want to finish the new version of Safestrap.
Nice work! AOSP is always my favourate!

Hi ONYXis, yes adb seems to be working on the new version - "adb devices" responded.
I'll try it out right away.
Can you post you donations PayPal link to the first post?
EDIT: Installed it. Bugs will go into the bug report section, but theese things are working for me.
Bluetooth: Iø'm able to connect to my Jabra headsets with easypairing, and get audio. I can turn wifi/bt on and off. Touchscreen runs smoothly and PlayStore is working.
Thank you, ggow!! I am truly excited about this release following a fantastic experience with Nexus v2.0.5. CMxx is great but I prefer something closer to AOSP.
Installed v4.0.1 morning w/o incident. Boots clean and complete with the 'right' options enabled by default. A few quick observations:
- effortless flashing from twrp (I know this isn't rom related but attests to integrity of package)
- fast startup! Didn't think anything could be quicker than Nexus v2 (after exiting bootloader); v4 beats it by a small margin
- smooth, accurate screen response; easily navigated through various settings with no snags
- wifi and bt both enable/disable quickly and reliably. No issues connecting a BT device that required authentication
- observations are with a 'clean' install; might try dirty build later for those interested in a more seamless upgrade
Unfortunately, I am traveling through the weekend with limited 'play time' (d'oh!). Will provide additional feedback in bugs section as needed. Something tells me not much is going to land there.

DOOOH! Sorry about that.. :/
Edit: I have been using the tablet for almost a day now. BT streaming is perfect, there *might* be some issues with AVRCP - but I have not confirmed that yet. DeepSleep is working perfect, it enters deepsleep as expected. Charging via USB depends on the load on the tablet - if load is too much it will not charge. AC doesn't have issues.
..next try to pair with ELM327 dongle and Holux M1200E GPS.

Seems GPS and compass are working, I get a valid fix and I get movement when turning the tablet (in GoogleMaps).
..But I just realised, there is no browser in the rom

Good news about GPS working
And yes I removed the stock browser, because I figure most people will use Chrome or Firefox.

Interesting, headphones working for me with no problem (apollo), also playing stops if I remove them, sound level is little bit lower, but for my quiet enviroment I am not complaining...
@ggow, excellent work as always, will be testing this for little longer, so far so good

Don't use the user swapping feature yet. It's very buggy. If you do happen to create a new user and swap, to fix the crazyness that happens, just delete the new user and reboot.

PLEASE BE SURE TO WIPE SYSTEM & DATA/CACHE (FACTORY RESET) WHEN COMING FROM AMAZON STOCK SOFTWARE.
(It's the "Wipe" button and then "System" and then "Factory Reset" button in TWRP -- this does NOT clear your sdcard space)
Be aware that the "sdcard" space has changed slightly from ICS to JB4.2. You will find your stock amazon OS files in /data/media/ or "sdcard" on the Stock OS. But CM10.1 will create a sub directory "/data/media/0" and call that "sdcard". And in TWRP it will also use "data/media/0" as "sdcard". This has to do with multi-user settings. So when placing files on the "sdcard" be sure to check both locations before wondering why that file is missing.
CHANGES:
[11/15] SElinux now included in the kernel and set to permissive. I don't recommend turning it to enforcing as I'm still debugging the "deny" messages.
[08/12] Includes a Trebuchet patch to fix the screen flip-flop when trying to drag an icon in landscape (by XDA user Wickets^)
[08/12] All new "from source" sensor driver
[08/12] Temp. disable light sensor (due to recode of sensor driver)
[07/31] First CM10.2 build
FEATURES:
3.0.50 kernel (up from a stock 3.0.21 kernel). This includes updates from Texas Instruments, Google and Kernel.org.
PowerVR Graphics Drivers: DDK [email protected] for Android (Jellybean compatible)
Updated bltsville libs to 2.2.2.0 (this is partial screen update code which enables smoother / faster screen draws)
Audio
Camera
Wifi
Bluetooth
Sensors
HWAcceleration
HD Codecs for YouTubeHD and Netflix
HDMI video out is now correct and work across several resolutions. YMMV
DEVS
BUILDING THIS ROM:
First, read through Google's Android website about "how to setup a build environment":
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
[ COMING SOON ]
SCREEN SHOTS:
CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES:
When long pressing icons in landscape mode to move them, etc the screen will flip upside down for a moment and right itself. This causes the action to be aborted.
Rotation selection in games is hit and miss. Some work perfectly and some like to flip the device upside down. Still debugging what is causing this.
AUDIO: Any decoder which uses Dolby surround current has a lower volume than the rest of the system (Netflix, Google Movies, etc). It's a WIP.
Sensors: Testing various sensors, gyro seems 90 degrees off, etc.
I don't have an LTE version so this is not enabled in current builds.
Are you going to keep on developing both this and the 4.2.2 ROM? Or should we switch to this ROM for the newest updates in the future?
By the way, thanks very much for all the effort you are putting in developing for and improving our devices. We all really appreciate it.

I will probably continue with the 4.2.2 builds until I feel like this has fully caught up with them.
Some apps for instance are not compatible w/ 4.3 yet (one of the movie players).
Omg. That is all. =)

Same here.
I am thinking about building the rom with LTE (hash says the code is all there) from the source. But I haven't used Linux from 2010 and have to setup the gear for doing this...em...
I also would like to get 4g LTE working. If you could dust off linux and put your skills to work, I am sure many will appreciate your efforts!
I am working on an experimental built for LTE users.
As soon as I get a ROM built, I'll post it up. There is a 100% chance that it's going to take quite a few tries to get it working. So not for the easily irritated.

Irritated? With you? With a ROM that didn't even have the feature previously? You underestimate us.

Thanks for this ROM. It is faster than previous version with 4.2.2.
Still some issues (audio in players), but very usable for daily usage.
Thanks!

Double check you're flashing the right GApps.
There seems to be an issue with the 'sdcard' link under Root - It is currently pointing at /data/media/legacy instead of /data/media/0 - This is causing some issues with apps that default to 'sdcard' including TitaniumBackup. Also, there is a 'Storage' under Root that points somewhere, which is causing issues with apps that default to '/storage' for their backup.
Status of this rom on my Kindle:
- as mentioned in changelog games are slower then on 10.1
- on 10.1 and 10.2 there are ocassions the screen rotation bug is still occuring. It happens within some games and after rotating in mx player.
Thanks and keep up your excellent work.
hi,
i'm new with Kindle Fire HD. tried this rom too and i think its very good :fingers-crossed:
gapps failure
Interesting issue going on here. i upgraded to this build (10.2-20130731-UNOFFICIAL-jem, and the latest Gapps to go with it. Note that i did not do a complete wipe, as i wanted the installed apps to remain. Upon reboot, i have a notification from pretty much every app i have installed on the device that "update for "(application name) could not be downloaded due to an error. (error retrieving information from server.[RPC:S-5:AEC-0]) i ge the same error if i try to download anything from the play store also. any thoughts?
Edit: restored back to previous backup, allowed all updates to take place first, then redownloaded the rom and gapps. A quick reflash using goo manager and everything seems to be working now. @Hashcode - another fantastic rom. only issue i still have the the screen rotation when long pressing icons in landscape mode. a very small price to pay for all the awesomeness.

Good work. You people must have some nice skills...
hey buddy... just wondering if there was any update to your progress. were eagerly awaiting to see whats up with the camera. also, have you found any other bugs in the past week? thanks for your dedication!
I am working on version 1.2 at the moment (time permitting).
In the next release I am hoping to include the following:
1. Working Camera
Have made significant progress - can now get an image in my test app - so now looking to build a version of the AOSP camera from source.
2. Fix for the widget picker (done).
3. Working Kindle Reader App (tbd).
4. Updated WiFi driver (done).

but I tested the newest one downloaded from amazon too, and that versions installs, but is not working (just open and close)
so:
appstore release-9.0003.638.OC_639000310 - not working
appstore release-5.0000.147.OC_635000010 - working
maybe other newer (but not latest) version works too
hope this help you
Very nice:cyclops:
Great work:highfive:
Just a quick update on what's going on:
1. Working Camera
Can now take pictures with the Front and Rear cameras successfully...
1.1 Video Recording (under investigation).
However the video recording mode isn't working properly for the front camera (the picture is stretched in the Y axis) and not working at all for the rear camera (force closes).
2. Fix for the widget picker (done).
3. Working Kindle Reader App (done - interim fix is by installing an older version of Amazon Reader App - Link will be provided with the new release - I still intend on looking into why amazon apps are force closing on the HDX devices).
4. Updated WiFi driver (done).

What kind of changes are you seeing in the WiFi? More stable? I know that others (myself included) have had WiFi issues off and on, so I was curious what all this might have changed/made better. I know there is a bug that causes a crash whenever you enable WiFi after the device has been booted with WiFi disabled. Do you know if this fixes that bug? Also, is this something that could be updated through an apk for us 7" HDX owners?

In my tests here I have a DLINK DIR-655 router, was constantly getting dropouts/disconnects in WIFI connection and have not seen any problems with the new driver. So at least for me on my hdx 8.9" device it's rock solid so far.
Although I cannot explicitly say whether the new driver fixes the wifi reboot bug. I can confirm that whilst I have been testing the new driver this problem doesn't exist for me. It used to happen when I had the stock rom. I have been testing this since I did the first release of Apollo Gapps.
It's not something that can be packaged up as an apk, but I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to create a flashable zip package for TWRP

Unfortunately I can't give you a date, this is the first time I have done any real android ROM development so please bear with me.
Amazon's stock ROM drove me to the point of insanity which in turn drove me to do something about it. I'm very glad I did as I now have a usable tablet which is a lot more functional.
It may take a bit of time but hopefully worth the wait.

A flashable zip would be nice when you can get around to it. I'll have no problem testing it out on my 7" HDX. My WiFi at home has no problems, but I have the constant drop and reconnect issue with my hotspot.
I've fixed the video preview on the front camera.
Will try to tackle the back camera video force closing.
If this one looks like it will drag on the I'll do an interim release.
keyboard?
Hey. Can u extract the amazon keyboard from the stock Rom and create An apk or flashable zip with it? I'm not digging the aosp key board on our 8.9". It seems to take up way more screen real estate and I actually like the look and feel of the amazon one. It has Swype and a better auto correct. Thanks!!!

The stock amazon keyboard will not work in this ROM due to it's dependancy on missing libraries etc.
I am going to release version 1.2 of Apollo Gapps. I'll update the First post to reflect changes and issues remaining. It might take a while because my broadband connection is crap.
While I am doing this the original download link will not be available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1:
How do I get ROOT access?
Answer:
- Unlock developer options: "Settings" ➜ "About phone" ➜ Tap the build number 7 times
- Go back to "Settings" ➜ "Developer options" ➜ "root access" ➜ choose your desired option
Thank you so much for your and other developers hard work!
Will try this rom and give you a feedback ...
Hi, I wanna give you a quick feedback after 1 hour on the thor rom...
1) after the installation (did a factory reset) it comes with a bluethoot error and the service doesnt work.
I did a restart and switched it on ... off ... on ...off the first and secound time bluethooth seems to work (but did'nt make a link) but after that the service didnt come back.
2) After I switch off the display I have to reboot to get it back. So I only get a blackscreen with backlight.
3) Rotation works well but a few apps rotate in the wrong direction. But this is not a big thing!
4) Batteryusage didnt show apps and the graphic locks buggy
this are my first impressions

- To be honest I developed this on apollo
- Didn't really test much on thor so probably problems in the kernel causing blackscreen for thor
- seems to work flawlessly on apollo
- will look into thor issues before next build
- thanks for the early feedback
- updated op known issues

Thanks!
Excellent work @ggow, I just dirty flashed Apollo version, and must say I am pretty impressed, everything vent smoothly, the only FC I get was from clock app, but that was expected... :good:
Is there any recommended xposed version working with this ROM?
So far I found one small graphic glitch, you can see it on attached picture (you can see only half of the first notification)...
OK that's all for now, going to test how fast this can burn through hdx battery, so far every LP ROM I tested on my phones was really power hungry...
I've tried this ROM.. smooth as hell...
but if I not geting wrong, no LTE...( I am on Apollo)
Is that right? Or I made something wrong...

Does the Apollo support otg? I just plugged my USB otg from my nexus 6, but stick mount says there isn't anything that needs mounted,

- OTG support isn't available at least at the moment.
- Not completely certain what the story is with OTG on Apollo and Thor
- I have seen various comments about this
- Some have said it might be a limitation of the hardware or a limitation imposed from the bootloader.
- Needs investigating to be sure of what can be done.
well xposed for LP actually works

I just had to try it and it's working! :laugh:
So if anyone wants to try xposed for lollipop, go for it (make sure you don't have any "xposed leftovers" from KitKat like me (gravity box i. e.) and uninstall them first)
be sure you did nandroid backup in TWRP before you flash xposed for lollipop in TWRP (yes, framework needs to be flashed)
I used xposed-v73-sdk22-arm.zip
Reboot into ROM and install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
That's it, happy hacking...
YouTube in FullHD
And I don't know what magic @ggow did this time, but we finally have here YouTube app where we can choose 1080p streaming ! Yay! This just made my day!
Or Google finally allowed this for every mobile users in latest YouTube app? Anyone on CM11 or Nexus 4 can check if its there too?
THERE WILL BE NO MORE UPDATES HERE!
This thread hasn't been updated in a while as I'm working on mainline support and a kernel 5.10 release for the Note 10.1. There are excellent releases of Android 9+ from @html6405 now and I don't intend on updating this thread. I'll leave everything as is, but don't expect me to view this thread on a regular basis. Most questions are already answered, use the search.
For the new mainline kernel version, please don't ask for any ETAs, there's still some things to be fixed before there will be an official release and I have a normal life to take care off.
If you have experience with kernel / ROM development and want to help me out? Leave me a message, I'd appreciate any helping hand no matter how much you can contribute, every little bit helps. Even looking at the device tree and giving me hints would be great as I would still consider myself being intermediate at best at putting everything together, it's just a lot to dig into with the little time I have.

Hi, I'm currently trying to get this device officially supported again as I really love it and it never let me down in the last 5 or so years. It still works amazingly fast and I have no need to replace it with anything else.
As I'm a Java engineer for my day job there is a lot of new stuff here, I had some contact with C/C++ when I studied CS a couple of years ago but never actually wrote anything bigger than two or three files in these languages. This is quite an adventure and I learned a lot already but I'm open for any help you can offer. After all, I'm doing this for fun and getting better at whatever hits me in the face while doing it.

FAQ
Q: Why another thread?!?
A: The ROM provided by @lirokoa is great but it is based on sources that deviated quite a lot from the official LOS repo, I try to close this gap and get the ROM aligned to the remaining devices based on the SMDK4412 core so that everbody profits from the development going on there. This ultimately means that we can get a 8.x alpha version "soon" after fixing the remaining issues.
Q: How can I help to improve the ROM?
A: If you are a developer, I'd be happy to discuss the remaining issues with you and how to approach/solve them. I'm open for pull requests on Github. If you are testing the ROM and can provide log files for issues this is also a great thing, even more so if it is one of the devices I do not own.
Q: What's up with the performance?
A: Disable Live Display, it's actually not supported by the GPU (or at least by the current driver)
Q: The camera is crashing!
A: Use Open Camera
Q: Wifi attempts to connect but never succeeds!
A: Try reflashing again, including wiping. This usually fixes it.
Credits and Thanks
all the people that worked/are still working on the smdk4412 device and kernel source code, this wouldn't be possible without their hard work!
the guys from #lineageos-dev channel for helping me out with my questions
all the people posting helpful guides in various sections all over the forums
@lirokoa for the updates and support that helped this device to live on until today

Wow!
thank your development for this old Pad.
will try it in a free time.
: )
Downloading. Will post some feedbacks later. Thanks for continuing the development on this old brick. ?
i couldn't get secretwolf98 version to install on my n8013 so i am keen to see if this one will install for me when the n801x version is ready
There is a new build with basic camera support, the back camera has some issues with recording videos which will crash your camera app. I noticed that activating the torch while having the camera app open in the background/foreground will also crash the camera app, so still some issues there.
The work on the camera will go on after the big party, I wish everyone a good start into 2019
I still use 2 of these and thank you for getting back into it. Using lineage 14.1 now. Will keep watching.
Great. I've just incidentally gone back to this forum after a long time to check if there's any newer ROM than lirokoa's for my N8000
I'll check it out. Thanks a lot
Got it all installed - but can't get over an error code 190 ("can't download app")when trying to install chrome. Unsure if this is rom related or gapps related.
Also flashed the 14.1 su package - works well with the rom as expected. Youtube from the play store does not work - plays audio but no video. Other than that as I play with this I'll see if I can find any other bugs. Really appreciative of you picking this up!
Thank you very much for continuing the development of this tablet!
My N8000 is presently running on lirakoa's latest build lineage-14.1-20170810-UNOFFICIAL-n8000 with open gapps micro and as root solution Magisk 18.0.
Recovery is TWRP 3.02.
Everything is working fine except the well known bugs, and it seems that most of these have been fixed in your latest build.
I've never tried video recording with this tablet but had some camera crashes recently when using the ClearScanner app, in fact it's not usable with this app.
Otherwise I think it's usable as daily driver, and it was.
My daughter used it for university until recently.
So, as far as I understand, your build should be on the same level and I'm gonna try it very soon.
Do you think a dirty flash could work?

Not quite yet, lirokoa put some effort in the ROM and there are probably things that I don't know about yet which are broken. See my last quote above for example. I'm still learning the inner working of the linux kernel and Android which is quite a huge task.

It could work but there is no guarantee as always. There are some changes here and there which can potentially break it.

The 190 issue was fixed with a reflash and and formatting my system. Took 3 times - not sure but I think it was on my end. The youtube however is still at issue. I was able to view in browser w/o issue though. It is just the app. Side loaded a bunch of older APKs of youtube with same result.

I can confirm your observations. Chrome is running smooth but the youtube app is only giving me audio with a black video stream.

It is really good ROM for N8000! But it seems not all video codecs are switched on in assembly. Except YouTube any IPTV application does not work, there is no video in Instagram (the still image of the first frame only) and in browsers many videos cannot be reproduced too.
Samsung SmartThins and Samsung Galaxy Apps application and is not started too. Sadly, as I remember, only from Galaxy Apps can be install the S-Pen application. By the way, somebody knows where to take .apk for Samsung Galaxy Apps? And how to work with the stylus?
Thank you very much for this ROM I'm new here on XDA, however I have recently flash this ROM to my n8013 it's running pretty good, but I have 2 issues so far.
First, I'm having some troubles accessing to my wifi network, I have a Spectrum router which have 2g and 5g but it keep saying that the password may be incorrect, I have try many apps so far changing settings on my router but no success; but when I go with my phone on Hotspot I can get access and establish connection.
I'm also trying to get root access, I already flash the path for LineageOS 14.1 but when I go to developers I can't get access to the manage option. And when I run the root checker app I shows that I don't have root access.
Thanks,

UPD.
Found Samsung Galaxy Apps. It's no S-Pen application too. There is a Google hand-written input. It is possible to cost them also and not to found S-Pen any more.
So, will be great if there is a video's full support and will earn Samsung SmartThins and if earns the IR-port for control of household appliances (now does not work on N8000). After everything it will be a masterpiece!
many thanks for the new build :good:

There is an issue with decoding the video stream but I'm not quite sure what's the root cause yet. Still investigating.

You could use open gapps, you'll need 32 bit arm 7.1 version. I'll update the OP.
Weren't kidding about screen tear. Looking good so far. Will report back issues.
Waiting for device tree. Great work!
Curious if LOS 14.1 variant will be back ported to unlocked Ford and/or Austin? Assume not (perhaps due to older kernel) but wanted to verify.

I was planning to go straight to los16 for ford, austin and suez at some point.
I flashed this on my tablet and it works great for the most part. The vertical sync issue is annoying but on some media playback it seems non-existant. The biggest issue I've had so far is that for some reason the tablet appears to die. Every now and then it stops responding to the power button and the display just stays off. Connecting the charger does charge it but nothing comes to life. I have to force shut it down and restart it, and it works again.

Traffic not routed through Open VPN tunnel
Hi @ggow,
first of all, thanks a lot for your effort in bringing lineage to mustang. A working custom rom was the only reason for me to purchase an amazon fire
I followed @xyz post to unlock (thanks a lot for that by the way) and flashed your lineage rom.
I used OpenVPN Connect to connect to a vpn server and even though, the connection seems to be successfully established (OpenVPN Connect indicates a successful connection) , traffic is not routed through the vpn tunnel. When visiting different whats-my-ip sites, the "real" ip address is revealed. Please find the logs here: https://privatebin.net/?e1bc0fbde46a0809#CXvsF8SjyjwsqL1CXt6uLu5QAVAg9QKRF21JSxNLssFa
Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
Thanks and regards,
Chris
Same here for both the random black screen problem and the VPN issue. I'm connected to NordVPN, but my IP shows my actual location.

first of all, thanks a lot for your effort in bringing lineage to mustang. A working custom rom was the only reason for me to purchase an amazon fire
I followed @xyz post to unlock (thanks a lot for that by the way) and flashed your lineage rom.
I used OpenVPN Connect to connect to a vpn server and even though, the connection seems to be successfully established (OpenVPN Connect indicates a successful connection) , traffic is not routed through the vpn tunnel. When visiting different whats-my-ip sites, the "real" ip address is revealed. Please find the logs here: https://privatebin.net/?e1bc0fbde46a0809#CXvsF8SjyjwsqL1CXt6uLu5QAVAg9QKRF21JSxNLssFa
Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
Thanks and regards,
Chris

Same here for both the random black screen problem and the VPN issue. I'm connected to NordVPN, but my IP shows my actual location.

Thanks for the reports, I'll look into the VPN issue and the power issue. I included the md32p and md32d software but suspect that code is not running for some reason and causing the power/blank screen issue.

For blank screen issue look at power.mt81xx.so and power.default.so in logcat or if they're missing.

- Everything else needs testing / WIP
- You will get a dialog when the ROM starts complaining about the vendor partition, just dismiss and your good to go.
- Device trees / configs will posted once I have a chance to go through the prototype

Thanks for this! So far everything is working ok. But yeah, a lot of screen tearing with Chrome, etc. Otherwise its pretty cool though!
Yikes. I see what was meant about screen tearing.
Seeing as the CPU is 64bit, what's the likelihood of the being a 64 bit ROM for this device?
I need to further investigate this but I'm fairly sure that the battery drained exceptionally quickly. I only flashed the ROM yesterday and the battery was dead when I looked this morning
