I know hands free alexa is a go for hd 10, but is there a way or work around to make it hands free on the 2017 hd 8?

Hey everyone, I'm considering on buying the Fire HD 8 with alexa, but I was wondering if multi window is available on it since I use it quite a lot.
I've not seen 'multi windows' yet. At least not on a tablet from Amazon. The only thing I can think of that might be close, but likely way off, is dual screen. You can project your screen over your screen...like split screen except you can move it around. That is one of the awesome features that's supposed to come with screen mirroring aka Wireless Display.
Nope. Its a Android N 7.x Feature. I think all Amazon Tablets are running 5.1.1
My Fire HD8 2017 (gen7) is running douglas-user 5.1.1 LVY48F 50.5.7.9_user_579225620

Hey Guys,
I just now bought fire hd8(8gh gen) and i found our that it doesn't support display mirroring.
I don't know why Amazon decided to go in the reverse direction of technological evolution and for some reason they are removing display mirroring from all their latest devices like FIRE HD 8 and 10, fire TV stick 4k.
Here are my questions:
1) does anyone know the reason of this getting removed?
2) Is there a work around to make it working?

You can use TeamViewer (mirror through PC) app instead.
I have a rooted Fire HD 8 that is unusable because of ****ware, which is already disabled etc. Is there a dirty way to turn this tablet into a basic machine? My mom is in chemo and want to give her a Netflix tablet, but this thing is even too slow.
Is it just the bootloader being unlocked thats holding me back from running something like this?

Actually no. You can't unlock the bootloader. If I recall correctly, you have read-write access tought Preloader so you can do a few stuff, but nobody looked deeper.

There is no more performance to squeeze once you disable the bulk of Amazon stuff - it's all down to the "natural" performance of the chip. I have HD7 2014 (ariel), it also feels quite slow today ...
I really want that new google tv launcher for my 4k stick. However app requires minimum android 8. Will there ever be fire os 7 (android 9) update for this device? Or is it possible to port this app to fire os 6?

i dont think they will push an oreo/pie update through to mantis 4k . The reason being is that theyve just produced these new crap 3rd Generation Pendants/sticks and also the Lite Edition . So basically instead of upgrading the OS of the best devices (Mantis & Sloane ) they have been greedy and produced more devices to encourage people to spend more .
