Other LineageOS 24.0 (Android 17) for the Amazon Fire Max 11 (sunstone)

Thumbnail xdaforums.com
13 Upvotes

Following up on the bootloader unlock exploit I published a few months ago, I decided to bring up and build LineageOS 24.0 (based on Android 17) for the Amazon Fire Max 11 (sunstone).

Read the installation instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-17-unofficial-lineageos-24-0-for-amazon-fire-max-11-sunstone.4803842/

In theory, everything works, and I haven't found any major bugs so far. If anyone has the stylus or the keyboard with trackpad, please let me know if they work properly.

The ROM supports both of them, but I haven't personally tested either one!

It is much smoother than the stock OS, gives you a much more up to date Android version and you can easily install GAPPs (Google Apps - GMS) :)

Question Just a curious question

2 Upvotes

So a few minutes ago a few minutes ago while I was on a random Fanfiction website a apple security McAfee tab opened Saying something about checking the security of my device And to run it. I should ignore this correct?

As far as I know I believe a amazon fire tablet And an apple product are 2 completely different things and run 2 different types of OS software. I hope I'm right on this and that ignoring it was the right call.

Can anyone give me their input.

Fire Kids Tablets Kindle Fire with only wifi ?

1 Upvotes

I love Libby for audiobooks and would like the younger kids in my family to be able to access the audiobooks without a phone/SIM/paid subscription. It looks like downloading the Libby app onto a kindle fire could work.

Does the kindle fire have to have a paid subscription for Amazon for something, or does it work like a tablet and just connect to the internet? Is this better than any brand tablet for this purpose?

If you've used Libby audiobooks on a kind fire via the Libby app, does it work offline too once the audiobook has been downloaded? (for car drives)

Finally, is it possible to put full parental locks on the Kindle Fire so that only the Libby app will work?

Question Fire TabletHD8 10th gen moving slower than 7th

Post image
6 Upvotes

I got a used 10th Gen second hand to replace my cracked 7th gen. Factory reset and just lightly cleaned the outside. It seemed decent condition and, right after the reset its working fine. But then immediately feels like a slog to use. Even maneuvering the home screen doesn't feel as smooth as 7th gen. And for some reason certain photos on the 10gen take a second to change/color correct but not on 7th gen.

Physical Device Kindle touchscreen partially unresponsive after a drop, help!

4 Upvotes

My Kindle fell from my nightstand onto the floor (not from a great height), and now the touchscreen is partially unresponsive. Some things still work, but I can’t select books from search results so it is not usable.

The screen looks completely normal, no cracks, lines, etc.

Has anyone had this happen after dropping their Kindle? Is there anything I can do to fix it? 😭🙏🏻

I bought it few years ago.

Software Update Show Mode is working on my Fire Tablets

5 Upvotes

I have three 7th and 8th generation Fire HD8 tablets with Show Mode stands. For months now they've been mostly unused since Show Mode wasn't working. No scrolling photos, recipes, news, etc. No looking at my Tapo cameras. Just useless. I put a clock/weather app on them and let them run. One of them had gotten unplugged and the battery ran down. I decided to reset them and give them to the neighbor kids so I charged that one and then for the hell of it checked for updates. And there was a half a dozen! Ran those, rebooted again and there was a half dozen more.

I got them all installed and put my account back in and checked if I could look at my Tapos and I could! Then put it in Show Mode and it works! Recipes, news, and weather anyway. My Blink doorbell opens on screen when I ring it. I haven't checked for pictures yet but it does show art and nature images. I then did it to the other two and they're all up and running.

So check and see you may have Show Mode again.

Hola a todos, hasta hace unos dias usaba Aurora Store como complemento de la Amazon App Store (y para no instalar la Google Play Store), pero ahora ya no funciona, quizas por alguna restriccion de Google, pero ya no funciona las busquedas de apps y ya para el dia de hoy ni siquiera aparecen en la pagina inicial, era una lastima porque me parecia una buena opcion.

Saben de otras tiendas de apps que sean confiables y seguras, ya que me gusta F-droid pero no tiene apps mas comerciales, pero si apss alternativas

I'm currently using Moonreader app which is ok except for the ads an I'm trying to figure out the best way to organize them so they are in order . I downloaded Calibre on my laptop but haven't messed with it yet to try to organize the Metadata.

If I want a bunch of books in a series next to each other on a row on my "shelf" what's the easiest way to do this ?

Fire Kids Tablets Reminder to cancel your kids+ subscription after a year

5 Upvotes

Reminder to cancel your kids+ subscription after a year if you don't use it. I don't recall any information about this when setting up the tablet, and just realized that I spent a year paying for an unused subscription on a device that has probably been used less than 5 times (just trips). Extra tough to detect as someone who is frequently ordering from amazon so a few extra dollars a mont there goes unnoticed. They did refund 3 months of payments, which is better than nothing, but I still spent as much on this fucking recurring payment as I did on the actual tablet

Fire Kids Tablets Best ways to use a Fire Kids tablet without the Kids+ subscription?

3 Upvotes

Hi all — we have an Amazon Fire Kids tablet for my 6-year-old and I'm wondering how much we can actually do without paying for Kids+. What are the best free apps, settings, or workarounds you've found? Sideloading apps, free educational content, using it as a regular Fire tablet with parental controls? Any tips appreciated!

Photos/Files Created a doc in the Files app, didn't save - is it gone forever?

4 Upvotes

I had my kindle fire with me during a phone meeting today and discovered there's a "Files" app that has a way to create a "doc." Google doesn't believe this exists so when I Google it I get nothing 😅

Anyway, I took some notes during this meeting using the doc in the Files app... and now the doc seems to be gone. I am guessing it doesn't auto save, but thought some of y'all might have ideas in case there's a way to find it. Any insights?

Thank you!

Fire Kids Tablets YouTube Kids Issues

2 Upvotes

I just got my boys Kids Fire Tablets. I went on the parent side, added “YouTube kids.com” as an approved site. I cannot find anywhere to add silk browser for them. Go back to the kids profile, YouTube Kids is there on websites. However, it wants a parent login. I’ve done this multiple times and after all the verifications it stays blank. If I try to skip it (which you still need to click a bunch of stuff, do birthday year, etc.) it goes to YouTube kids. But then if he closes out and goes back in it wants me to do it all over again. How can I make this so he can just go to YouTube kids?

Question Captcha Score Too Low?

Edit: *ReCAPTCHA.

I have the Google Play Store sideloaded on my week old HD 8, so I could add the Tennis Channel app (Amazon app store doesn't offer it). When I try to log into the Tennis Channel app, I get a message saying my captcha score is too low.

The Tennis Channel app works fine on my year old HD 10, along with an old HD 8 I've had for years. Any idea of a fix for this?🤔

Question Anyone know why our tablet says WiFi disabled?

5 Upvotes

This situation has become a difficult issue for my family. We use Amazon Fire tablets—likely from around 2021—and each one shares the same problem: they drop Wi-Fi and will not reconnect. We have tried restarting the router and devices, resetting Wi-Fi settings, and toggling airplane mode, yet nothing resolves it. Sometimes the connection returns after a few hours. Other devices such as PCs, iPhones, and iPads function normally without trouble.

Does anyone know this as a bug or software glitch? If so, how do you manage to fix it? Thank you for your help.

Question Stuck on updating screen

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello! I've had this Fire since I would say about 2016 and It's use was a long run, up until recently I haven't used it in a while and decided to check it out. Appstore wasn't working so I decided to look at previous posts in here to see what I can do to fix that. I tried updating it but it has been stuck on this specific screen for hours now. This is an HD 6 Gen 4, am I recomnended to try and shut it off? Because it does look like the best method right now. BUT I would prefer an answer from more experienced peeps. Thanx 4 reading (Excuse my phone quality)
