Hello all
I was wondering if there will be AOSP/CM ROM for this device, not a single ROM is available and no dev is interested to work on such a great device.
Such a totally crap device, still stucked on 5.1.1 since launch, no dev is interested in the development either, where android n announced already, we are still waiting for Android M update, i wasted my money on such a **** device, will never buy a sammy mid range in future, m totally fed up with this
I think because there are few developer with that phone and they can't test their work. You can port ROMs such as CM to you phone by your self. There are tons of guides and forums. All u need is a linux OS (such as ubuntu, debian and others) and sources.

yep, I'm on kali and I use windows 10 to play games, so the only thing is: take care when partitioning. After you installed ubuntu there is a bootloader called "GRUB" and there you can choose if you want to boot windows or linux
Is it possible to print to a Windows shared printer? I have an older color laser (Konica Minolta) but the Konica drivers for Android don't see it? It is shared thru my windows server machine on my Lan.
I'm sure this must be possible? But I figured I'd ask those who might know the best way to do this... Thanks in advanced.
Sent from my Rooted Galaxy S7 EDGE on Android 7.0 Nougat, here's the instructions how to do it!
I have Kindle Fire HD 8 (7th gen, 2017, now 5.6.8.0), but recently got fed up and want to replace Fire OS with something else. I have been referred to XDA Developers website by several other online sources, but when I come here, I cannot find an easy source for information about my question (which I gather is "rooting" and "flashing").
Logically, it should be under this website's "Guides" section, like at
How to Root Kindle
www.xda-developers.com
However, I am pretty sure that the method suggested there is not current or correct for my model. My sense from reading some forum posts is that there are more than one method for "rooting" and "flashing" another OS--maybe one is a hardware-based method, and maybe there is a software-based method too... Question: Is there any place on this website to see all current rooting/flashing methods without reading through all the forum threads?
FYI: I have looked at a few threads, including...
Is there any new root methods as of 2021 that work?
I don't have experience with the hardmod option, I can't downgrade the firmware because they removed Apply Update From ADB and the mtk-su method doesn't work. I'm on Fire OS 5.6.8.0 and nothing's worked. How would I downgrade if there's no apply...

Fire hd 8 7th gen root
I tried all rooting methods for fire hd 8 7th gen but didnt succeed... the apply update in the recovery is also not there... can anyone help me? :eek: im new... Welcome to XDA ... as a newbie It would help, I think, for you to let us a little...

All of your advice/help is of course very appreciated.
PS.
My Kindle info is above. (It recently de-registered me spontaneously, so I set it back to factory settings, which it updated immediately.) I use Lubuntu on an old laptop PC and have a little high-level (i.e., superficial) coding knowledge. I am very bad at tech, but I can follow directions. I am willing to brick my device to try replacing the OS.
Know your device info, which you apparently do.
Then look up threads with titles of your device mentioning key words like "rooting", "unlocking" or "flashing" etc.
This is the only way.
Everyone here is doing their best to share whatever they know about or have done on a particular device. If you go to the appropriate threads, there will be lots of answers to your queries.
But nobody will spoon feed you with what you want.
This is a no fee, volunteer forum.
Thus you have to do your part to diligently look up.
I can assure you, you will get more than what you put in.
Well worth the effort, from my personal experience.
I'm sorry that a phone (Meizu Pro 5, Android 5.1? Flyme 5.1.2.0G) with such a powerful processor cannot work properly because its firmware is outdated. Therefore, I had the idea to upgrade it to 7 - 9 android. Help please, I'm not a geek and not a programmer, I'm a noob in these matters. There are no normal guides on the Internet, because this phone is already 7 years old.
P.S: I used a translator, sorry for the mistakes

You can upgrade the device only as long as the OEM has provided such upgrade, search for the latest stock firmware that is available for your device, you can´t go far more, this is by official methods.
If you want to use some custom (not official) ROM that was developed for your device, then search in the forum section "ROMs, kernels, Recov..." I saw there is something on 7.1
Forgive me if I post this in the wrong place, move it if necessary np.
Xda has been my go to for many many phones over the years. Many years. But recently I've grown a little deeper interest with the phone I currently own.
I need some clarity if anyone could please.
I've got a OnePlus 8 pro IN2025 on lineage 20 (whatever latest build in relation to the date on this post) and rooted with magisk 26.1.
Everything is running awesome. Even been able to remove a few Google system apps I despise.. this setup is reminiscent of a couple phones I've run on CM.. I thought those days were over.
So much appreciation to those keeping development alive. Much love.
To the point:
I'm trying to run as much of nethunter as possible without flashing it (and maybe I have the wrong idea so please correct me)
To my understanding, nethunter will require me downgrading to Android 12 with some other ROM - crdroid etc..
Flash twrp\ nethunter - then I have the nethunter ROM installed.
Problem is, I'm still a little attached to some Google stuff. I limit it, but there that is.
I've got the Kali app store installed and a few toys I can play with -
Question is, when I flash nethunter, is it like flashing any other ROM? Thats it. Or is there an equivalent to a "USB live version" that's temporary.. have I gone as far as I can without flashing?
I'm not interested in getting rid of lineage in favor of nethunter.
Thanks in advance. You guys are awesome!
