asuming from this http://linuxonandroid.blogspot.cz/p/working-devices.html it is possible
but as said on http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/install
Ubuntu for phones is intended to be used for development and evaluation purposes only. It is an early release that can potentially brick your device. It does not provide all of the features and services of a retail phone and cannot replace your current handset. This is the first release of Ubuntu for phones and it will continue to evolve quickly. Please read the disclaimer as well. This process will delete all data from the device. Restoring Android will not restore this data.

so there, you probably can, but android would still be better

Thank a lot, I think i must pray for ubuntu touch work on kindle fire hd nearly...

The only software available for the Kindle Fire is the stock OS provided by Amazon, or any of the ROMs posted in the KFHD 7" Android Development thread. Any attempt to install any other software will brick your device with no way of fixing it.

i heve same problem. But stock Kindle Os. have not all of gapps capability.

Running the update from two days ago and it's running good so far. Of course, I have not tested every app but, no glitches, movies are running good from Vudu and Netflix. Thanks to those still pushing commits.

Avoid clicking.

Linear - your post and report do not make sense. QA bot is not changing any URLs; I would be inclined to believe you have some browser malware that is effecting your machine and changing links on your box.
Hope you are able to get your problem squared away.

Cant restore back from Cyogenmod 11
Hello Everybody,
I keep trying to return my fire hd7 back to stock from cyogenmod 11. It keeps coming up with a provisioning fail or a boot loop. I can always get back to cm 11 with fastboot and adb but no matter what I try I cant get it back to stock. Am I missing something here? Many thanks in advance.

battery issue since installing thr rom
First of all thank you for this rom Cm11.0 on the kfhd 7. Since installing however the Kindle reboots whenever the battery goes below 40%

HWAcclerate video after a suspend
I'm running the latest nightly of CM11 (cm-11-20150112-NIGHTLY-tate.zip). If an app that does HWAccelerated video is running and a device goes to suspend, after a while the device is resumed the device HW Acceleration stops working. Tested out with MX Player. Netflix stops working after the suspend completely.
Is this a known issues? If not I can provide logs, more data and testing.

Hi, I'm on CM 11 nightly 20150302 for Kindle HD7. All of a sudden any video that i try to watch stutters. Netflix, Hulu, Youtube even streaming from my pc. What should I do?

Have you rebooted recently? If not, try that. Also, boot into recovery and wipe your caches. Both have helped me in the past.

Replace all whitespaces in the code segments with dots to reconstruct the proper URLs (and if the board want's me to *hitpost to get a post count of ten so it shall be).
All I could find was cm-11-20150531-NIGHTLY-tate.zip (the second to last/latest):
Code:
www ex ua/477582708431
, MD5 matches the one given on the CM nightlies download page
Code:
archive is/IpF5S
as the CM11 entries will most likely disappear there soon).
If someone should happen to have cm-11-20150607-NIGHTLY-tate.zip (the latest/last one) I would be very interested in it, too.

Of Systemless Root, Themed Apps, V4A, Busybox, Layers and Android Pay...

*******MAY 2016 UPDATE
Android Pay is working on the PureNexus May 2016 layers build
To attain this, delete the following files
com.google.android.camera2.xml
Located in system/etc/permissions
And
com.google.android.camera2.jar
Located in system/framework
*******BEGIN PRELIMINARY NOTES*******
-->To go from system root to systemless root,
please use the SuperSU Uninstaller zip linked below and not the unroot feature built into the SuperSU app
-->To fully unroot if on systemless root or system root, use the unroot feature in the apk
*******END PRELIMINARY NOTES*******
If, like me, you've become increasingly desirous of having Android Pay functioning on your rooted device, yet preserving that which you love about your custom setup (see thread title), this thread attempts to provide the resources you need to attain your objective.
For me, I believe that the tipping point came as a matter of principle...I wanted a feature from which I'll likely derive zero utility.
Let me be clear: I see no use whatsoever for Android Pay, and yet, like most Americans, I absolutely must have it.
I found myself returning to the same excuse, "I have a debit card, why do I even want this goofy feature?" That's a good question, but the answer is equally obvious...because it exists.
And I'd see yet another user getting the bloody thing to work on a rooted, custom rom. I hope you can see the urgency.
Just like the one ring to rule them all, the lure of Android Pay is really due to its power that it holds over us...
We Wants It...Stupid HOBBITSES
Many users have grown weary of wading through...
-->Disparate posts within rom threads
-->Dedicated threads for various elements of in the title of this thread, now scattered across xda like the diaspora of a lost tribe (how many Viper4android threads are there?)
-->Posts cross-linked within other threads for a given feature
My reticence would again solidify every time I read another post or series of posts about the precise means a given user went about obtaining Android Pay, and the commensurate loss of a different feature...or, no mention of a feature about which I cared.
So this thread is an attempt to redress these issues; specifically, after reading this, you should be able to have...
1.1-1.5. Systemless Root - If Using System Root
1.6. Updating Systemless Root Versions
2. Properly Themed Apps
2a. Hard-coded themed apps
2b. Theme Ready Google Apps
3. Layers
4. Viper4android that does not break your AUX jack or Chromecast
5. Busybox
6. Android Pay
1. Systemless Root
Whether you are running stock, or one of the few AOSP roms claiming to have Android Pay functioning on your device, this is your first step
If you are running a rooted rom, installing a pre-rooted rom, or want to flash a rom that is pre-rooted, to attain Systemless Root, you'll need the following resources...
1.1. The Latest Systemless SuperSU Zip (scroll to the bottom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125
1.2. System Root Removal Tool /unSU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
1.3. Busybox for All Devices (scroll down to the section labeled "Busybox Installer")
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421
1.4. These Two Terminal Commands (have them in a notepad file, on your computer, or just, literally written down on a piece of paper)
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu
1.5. To Install Systemless Root
1.5.1. Boot into Recovery
1.5.2. Install Pre-Rooted Rom + Gapps if Needed
1.5.3. Flash unSU Zip
1.5.4. Go to TWRP Main Menu, Go to Advanced, Terminal Command, type each command exactly as above, one at a time), hitting return in between each line
***you'll only do this once if you plan on staying on systemless root
1.5.5. Flash Systemless Root Zip
1.5.6. Flash Busybox Zip
1.5.7. Flash Custom Kernel if Desired
1.5.8. Fix Folder Permissions
-->Boot your device
-->Using Root Explorer or similar app, navigate to the folder labeled "su," as below...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
-->Then hard press on the folder labeled "bin" and select the pop-up option for permissions, so below...
-->Set permissions to 0751, or deselect the check boxes as below...
1.5.8. Keep Reading, or...
Boot to System if This Is All You Want
1.6. Updating Systemless Root Versions
If you're already running Systemless Root and wish to upgrade to the latest version, follow these steps...
1.6.1. Flash latest version of SuperSU
1.6.2. Flash custom kernel if desired
***Note that if you omit the second step above, and wish to stay on a stock, no force encryption kernel (like one that ships with PureNexus), there is no need to reflash the kernel that came pre-installed with your rom. Just flash the latest version of Systemless Root.
2. Viper4android
2.1. Grab a Zip from the Viper4android Atmos Thread Here (some recommend the Viper4android Atmos Sony Beats Edition...so why the heck not?)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137
2.2. Flash in Recovery
3. Properly Themed Apps
If one wants properly themed apps, and since the Gapps packages that allow working Android Pay are minimal, one must add them
3.1. Hard Coded Themed Apps
Using the Team BlackOut Updater (linked below), download those you want and flash in recovery...make sure to grant the app write permissions to your internal SD storage
http://bit.ly/1OcThZg
3.1.1. Download the Gapps that you want, flash in recovery
3.2. Theme Ready Google Apps
Go to this thread, download what you want...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apps-themeable-hangouts-layers-cmte-t3113192
3.2.1. Flash is recovery
3.3. All At Once in TWRP, in Sequence
You can and should flash all of these one after the other in TWRP...here are a few reasons why...
3.3.1. If you're using Gmail, and the minimal Gapps doesn't include it, you'll now have it waiting for you upon boot
3.3.2. If you've got a ton of downloaded music from Google Music, it'll still be there waiting for you if you flash Google Music during install (ie, you'll not have to download all of your music again)
3.3.3. Do you really want to set up hangouts, Google Plus (I turn off notifications and sync for this app...why do that every bloody time...), etc?
3.5. Layers
3.5.1. Install the latest version of the layers manager, and install whatever layers your want
3.6. Busybox That Works
You've already done that
3.7. Android Pay
3.7.1. Download from the Play Store, Add Cards
3.7.2. Note that not all cards will work...it's not the fault of the tools you've been given on this site...it's symptomatic of the reality that none of your cards is issued by participating Android Pay partners
4. Test Android Pay
4.1. You can download SafetyNet Helper Sample from the Play Store...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample
The app is temperamental, and can throw up a false negative...but you will get a positive result most all of the time
4.2. Buy a dang soda, pack of gum at CVS, some cheap gift from Walgreens...I don't care from where...to see if it works (it should)
5. Odds & Ends
A few items of note...
5.1. All of your previously apps granted root permission will need so again
5.2. Stay on top of themed apps...layers can never properly theme certain apps if there's a stock version in the data partition of your device.
5.3. Thank all of the devs whose tools are linked in this thread, donate to them, and be sure to buy anything that they may have for sale...they are the best in class.
5.4. Many things may or definitely will break Android Pay, even if you've set it up properly, including Xposed, theme engine, some DPI changing apps, etc. Just be mindful that this could change if you install other items.

Awesome Post. Really covers everything that has been asked over and over, all in one easy to read format.
On Viper: In my testing, I made several backups at each stage after I checked that AP was working. I am glad that I did, as some Viper packages break Pay functionality. I would stress caution and/or patience when flashing, as a backup only takes a few seconds to make, but can save a whole bunch of time. The Viper package that I have linked above is an older one from the N6-Proper device, so it requires Permissive. You are free to use whatever you want, but this works for me. I flashed XTREMEmusic 6.0, 6.2 and 7.3 and all 3 broke Pay. It has been noted that Guitaredhero's zip package works, doesn't break Pay and sounds pretty good. Your choice.
Me from another thread said:
As an aside, I have an almost completely stripped down /system partition as far as gapps go and have even substituted several TBO ThemeReady versions, as well as Clear YouTube. So if I were to put a wager on what trips the Pay failure [I am speaking in systemless root terms], I would lay bets on system/bin, /system/xbin, busybox configurations and changes to some shadow policy that no one has figured out. Because simply adding or removing apks from /system (not including any signature checked apks such as a modified GMusic or Chrome) and utilizing the /su folder correctly doesn't trip the Pay verification, at least not for me.

Great summary - Thanks!
I've had no issues with AndroidPay when I've used Guitaredhero's zip package - highly recommend going that route if you want V4A. Besides, the sound is considerably better with V4A and Dolby Atmos than without!
The gotcha I had for breaking Android Pay - was not removing the SU/XBIN_BIND directory (or avoiding the creation by making the appropriate entry to the .supersu file) When I jumped from SUPERSU 2.61 to 2.66 - I had missed that step.
Also - unless you need BusyBox - (V4A doesn't need it and my understanding is Layers won't in the future) - you may want to leave it out until you have an app that requires it)

Thanks for your input, and sharing your personal experience. This kind of feedback is especially helpful.
As to removing Busybox from the list, at the moment, many Viper4android packages are compatible with Android Pay, and require Busybox...for example, even though I linked one that seems pretty popular, others work, and folks may need Busybox in order to use certain Viper4android packages.
As to the new Layers Manager not requiring Busybox, I'll definitely note that once the app goes from alpha stage to final release.

Google Dialer v37 & Contacts v3.7.7 on Stock ROMs (any ROM really) August 1st, 2019
I maintained a simple little project on the V20 forum that added Google's Pixel Dialer app and Google Contacts to (any device, really) my V20, and I thought it might be a good idea to post in here about it too, since I am now on a LS998 V30+
Link to the thread in V20's apps section HERE
These zips should work on any android running nougat and above, but I will only support the V30 for sure, since thats what I have.
Installing this will not remove anything you already have on your phone, it will only add google's dialer app and framework as a second phone app.
as always, my latest updates and newest files can be found in this shared Google Drive folder
This link has been changed, the correct one is above. I had (wanted) to move this project to a separate dedicated account that was not so personal. Reshare the folder to yourself using Google Drive and/or update your bookmark.

- I don't think it's necessary, but by request (and to avoid confusion) I have made a Android 9.0+ PIE compatible flashable zip to install just the dialer's framework.
January 22nd, 2019
- Updated apks to latest versions from Google
Phone-com.google.android.dialer-28.0.229824408-publicbeta-3464836.apk
Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-3.3.3.226019458-2171201.apk
-I uninstalled any updates to the phone and contacts app I had installed, and flashed the non-magisk version on to my V30+, both apps are working fine.
-I copied those files into the magisk template I've been using and zipped that to create a magisk installable version. I have not tested this one but I assume it will work for those who use it.
- expect arm versions within the next week.
downloads are attached below, to this post.

I am still not sure why it was happening, but the Phone app started randomly force closing on me a few days ago. I do a lot of playing around with mods and stuff so it could just be me. I have updated and tested both of the zips being released today, and the app is working again for me. I use a stock Oreo LG ROM. Everyone who hasn't had this issue or if you're on another device or on AOSP, ignore this paragraph. Theres a few files different in here from the previous version, so please flash this update so I know we're all on the same page. ty
- Updated dialer to latest apk from Google: v27.0.225573798-publicbeta-3347328.apk
- Updated/changed a couple framework related files to get the app to stop force closing on my device.
- arm (32) versions made and posted, too. Make sure you use the correct zip for your device!
New files can be found attached onto this post below and/or in the drive folder linked to above.

arm64 version with new contacts v3.1.3 update -Magisk Module
I built these and edited this top post totally on mobile, I hope it works..
I'll fix[/IMG] the rest later
it has just come to my attention that some people (on other devices) are having problems because I never switched over to the 2018 dialer framework in these zips. Both versions have always been there, I just had it named in such a way that the 7.0 version wax being used.
I have changed it over to the newer Oreo 8.0 framework, and will use that from today onwards.
Any issues because of this on LG phones? Please leave a response about it.

Magisk Module I put together HERE
After flashing onto your device, you will have to manually enable all the permissions for each app.
Also you'll need to change the default phone app in your settings.
As far as I can tell, everything in the phone app works (caller ID, spam filter, nearby places)
Unless you use google voice, you will still need to have your carrier's voicemail app installed to use Visual Voicemail.
using either of these methods will allow you to download updates from the play store, so you will not need to wait for me post an update to have the latest versions of both phone and contacts.
I don't expect any problems on your device, as this zip is fairly simple and straightforward. If any bugs do show up, though, I will work with V30 users. I make these zip files for my own personal use. I am sharing them because you might want them too!
Lastly, I often will upload newer versions to a folder on google drive without updating this top post every single time.
You can access that HERE, and share it to yourself or whatever. I'm just trying to make it easiest on myself and anyone interested in following the project.

You don't need to move contacts to the system. Just the phone app.

Ok, and?
I like it in /system, where it won't get accidentally removed.
I assume since you took the time to comment that you think its better installed as a user app for some reason.. I'm curious now, what is/are those reasons?
Putting apps like that on the system partition makes no difference in functionality, and saves space it would otherwise be taking up on /data...
Your stock contacts app comes out of the box on /system, most if not all gapps packages put contacts onto /system.
There are many, many apps that will work on either system or installed as a user app.
I put it there because I like it there. phone and contacts in my installer come together as one package. There's no reason to not keep it simple and put both apps in the same destination.
Thanks for commenting, I guess... but I don't know why you are telling me something I'm well aware of.
Once you have the framework and permission files on the system partition for the phone app, you can sideload that APK too onto /data, if that's what you prefer.
I don't plan on changing anything, and look forward to later in the day when I'll hopefully forget about being confused about why you needed to mention this, especially with zero context.
Sent from my LGE V30+ using XDA Labs

I used this on my phone - I previously had Contacts from the Play Store and a modified copy of Phone from Martin.077 (I was using version 20). Anyway I wanted to mention with this version, the visual voicemail feature built into the Phone app is working for me with a retail US998+ on Verizon, and this is mostly stock firmware. I say mostly stock because I have the Verizon modem flashed - signal strength at my home doesn't seem as good with the V30 as it was with my Droid Turbo, so I've been experimenting.

If I install and use Magisk module, does disabling the module let me use original dialer?
nvm, installed Magisk module. Working great. Thanks!

Installing any of my zips from this thread will not do anything to your stock dialer app (as far as I know).
You will have to go into the phone settings and switch which one you want set as the default.
To use stuff in the google one, you must set google phone as default.
If you ever need to update your PRL or anything like that, you will have to switch it back to the LG contacts app, or else the dialer "secret codes" wont do anything.
I should have mentioned that in the OP..
Installing this will not remove anything you already have on your phone, it will only add google's dialer app and framework as a second phone app.

Replying to myself to indicate this apparently isn't correct (based on info from another thread). I didn't know when people referred to visual voicemail, they were referring to the text transcription stuff. I have a Google voice number that isn't really used, but I've seen the transcriptions on the website from people who misdialed and left a message - I wasn't particularly impressed and had to listen anyway.
It was mentioned that there is configuration files that will make it work though, so what I said is partly correct - as the voicemail tab shows in the Google dialer when using this version. The modified version I used before didn't have that tab.
EDIT - See below.

ChazzMatt said:
Visual Voicemail is not transcription. Visual Voicemail is merely a list of voice messages so you can pick and choose the order you wish to listen or even delete without listening. It MAY also include voicemail-to-text transcription, but that is not the purpose of the visual voicemail definition. Early visual voicemail applications (from when the name came) did not have voicemail-to-text transcription and was called that because you could SEE the list of messages on a video interface.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_voicemail
__________
If they were referring only to voicemail-to-text transcription, they are wrong. That can be INCLUDED in a "Visual Voicemail" service, but is not what visual voicemail means.
Google Voice does have "visual voicemail" (list of messages on the website) as well as having voicemail-to-text transcription (website, text, and email). Both my wife and I have Google Voice numbers and I appreciate both the text and email transcriptions I receive.

I just finished one
there's new framework file being used now. I never had problems with the nougat version, but some on the V20 board have been having issues, so I switched the file in the zip to the newer one.
I suspect these LG phones work fine on stock ROMs (my original intention) with the nougat framework ive been using all along, and that other devices are the ones not working properly without the updated Oreo framework.
I don't really have any way to test on phones I don't own, so I'll have to rely on you guys for help. I've included both Nougat and Oreo frameworks now attached to the top post. All the zips dated October 8th have the newer 8.0 framework

How do I get VM to show up in the Google dialer?

Sent from my LG-H932 using XDA Labs

Contacts installed fine, but not the dialer. I get "App not installed". Anyone know how to fix this?

This may be a silly question, but is there an APK version of this that I can install without TWRP. My v30 isn't rooted and I've done that in the past with my Google phones but I'd be a little nervous to do it with this one in case I bricked it.

This doesnt need root or TWRP. Just download and run the apk.

You don't need root? I've got no where to put the zips (but I don't have root)
The APK for contacts installs but phone does not install on my v30 h933 - the package installer sometimes doesn't even give an error and other times it just says "not installed".

I can't get the apk to install either.
Sent from my LG-H931 using Tapatalk

Yeah, can't get it to stick on a stock 932.

You can use this without root, but the bootloader must be unlocked and TWRP installed. Unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP doesn't require you to install a root app like Magisk.
For those who want to use the Google Dialer (aka Phone) without unlocking the bootloader - I used Martin.077's patched copy previously. With that version though, you'll have to wait for them to update it - it can't use the updates from Google in the Play Store. Google Contacts will install and update from the Google Play Store without any modifications.

Root Fire 7 (9th) OS 7.3.1.7? Push my limits

Hello dear community,
I have a 9th generation Fire 7 with OS 7.3.1.7 from a good friend.
The device is to be bricked.
Professionally I am an IT system electronics technician and as a hobby I am a tecnican-freak, but this is where I reach my limits.
I have already opened the device and tried the hardware method, but I also get an error message in the terminal. So that I cannot unlock the device or the bootloader.
With MTK-SU this is no longer possible with the OS as I have already read and tested.
My question is, is it still possible to crack the device with this build (date 12/20/20)?
Or am I doing something wrong?
Linux installation
mustang
magisk
everything followed as described in these instructions https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fire-7-2019-mustang-unbrick-downgrade-unlock-root.3944365/
A reasonable instruction video would be desirable if something like that exists
I'm from Germany so sorry if the English is a bit broken
But I hope there is some way to help me
Many Thanks

regularly at Check GPT it breaks off see on pic 2

What device is listed as a lsusb? If you can access the bootrom (MediaTek Phone 6227) you have hope

If you are willing to experiment I have a couple ideas I've been contemplating as I have a device I want to root also.
Basically two methods mirroring the original, a hardware method (involves probing SPI/UART) or software method leveraging finding a exploit in userspace. (linux or arm based)
WARNING: DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR DEVICE
I HAVE NOT TESTED ANYTHING PERSONALLY!
I'm just spitballing from a perspective of a advanced Electronics engineer and Linux backround. (none in pentesting or ANDROID environments) Which is what we need.
The Mediatek vulnerability was a once in 5 years exploit and it seems unlikely to find another exploit that wide open.
For the hardware method you'd need a USB - > TTL/UART/SPI adaptor you could try to crack root but if there isn't even a login console then you are out of luck with that aspect.
Proposed software methods:
This might be made to work if compiled for arm32-bit

Got a interesting idea i'm working on, todo with fbtool and unbrick on this particular type of Fire 7, requires compiling lineage, possibly a bit of reverse engineering - currently thinking about it still:
Fire 7 2020 mustang Brainstorming
Trying to brainstorm ideas for unbrick (firstly) of the new Fire 7 2020 Gen 9 models that feature 6.3.1.5 and were released post Feb 2020. Already have a method to downgrade this and many other devices (HD8 Onyx and HD 10 post patch Feb 2020)...
forum.xda-developers.com

The problem is that they secretly revised the hardware for that model .
After the first production run made in 2019 , without the public knowing
They started to lock down the whole tablet.
its not only software locked , its hardware locked on the chip .
Most people didn't realize they did this after the initial 2019 production run .
Any chance I get I advise people not to purchase a newer amazon tablet . especially
The gen 9 .
You can't go wrong with the tablet 7 , gen 7 .
every variant for that Amazon model is flashable . even the ones that need to be opened up
to do the hardware short .
It doesn't look good for the gen 9 model ,
Its locked down harder then Pam Anderson growing up in the 80s .

I've successfully downgraded from FireOS 7 using the hardware method. Latest magisk canary etc

That sounds good .
just curious , what year is that 9gen .
That could be more documentation on exactly what year model 7 , gen 9 could
be modded . maybe you found something different that could work after the
2019 batches that were shipped. Idk . I just know what I seen until know ,
but absolutely there could always be exceptions.

However, you can use the hardware method, which installs twrp and allows for downgrade back to 6
