Hi all
Is it possible to enable Mock location on an 8th Gen Fire HD? I need it so I can use GPStether as I want to sue the Fire HD for Sat Nav.
Any help or guidance appreciated.

Have you looked in developer options? It should be there.

The option to choose which Mock location app to use IS there, however there is no option to enable it. From what I've read, you have to root the device but I don't think that is possible at the moment?
It's possible!

The Fire HD 8 8th gen. is rootable, even better: the bootloader can be unlocked.
As this thread tells it requires you to work with Linux and Python. You find instructions there.

What do you have to do with root? There is a way to get a temporary root shell so you can run some commands, but you can't modify system or boot partition this way. Experimental Software Root for HD 8 & HD 10.

No, probably not a standard way. I have done two, one using this method with the changes for 6.2.2 (burrito2).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417234
The information in the video description gives information on what you have to do differently for 6.2.2
I also rooted using the KFU, but that script also has to be modified to support 6.2.2 and you need to have the burrito2.bin file.
I believe the new way to root is using burrito3 but I can not speak from experience on b3, never used it.
allthrough it is mainly about driver you can do all the things you want with kfu
look at this post to avoid potential problems:

Hello, can someone tell me what I need to build Lineage OS for the Kindle Fire 8 HD 8th Generation? The Kindle Fire 8 HD 8th Generation is a unsupported device. What do I need to do to get it supported? I'm looking at building just a unofficial version for myself.
Thanks

It is very difficult since there is no ROM for MT8163.
First you should start by extracting the device tree and the vendor blobs ..
Ok that's what I needed it is a starting point I will get on that!
Thanks
After I get the blobs then?
Thanks

I'm going to be sincere with you. I was just like you, I wanted to compile a ROM for MT8163 but after reading what had to be done, I decided not to try it, its very difficult..
If you really want help, @diplomatic will help you more than me.
I would really appreciate an LOS version for the 8th gen Kindle 8 HD. Would donate.
ROM?

What ROM will work with Fire 8 8th gen? I haven't been able to find any after rooting it...
Anyone who wants custom roms for the HD8 should donate to ggow! He's proven to have skill (created several other roms) and has expressed a willingness to work on the HD8. We just need to get a device into his hands.

What are you talking about? :laugh:
The fact that k4y0z is working on the HD10? There is still the HD8. And k4y0z even chimes in to say that both devices could benefit from ggow working on it. The only mess in the thread is the off topic posts which you often see here.
So, i was going to buy the HD10 and was seeing a lot of threads about the "previous" versions that allow the tools to be used to stop all the bloatware from coming up on the Fire. Would those same tools work on the latest version of the fire HD10:

Thanks in advance. Apologies if this is a very noob question to ask.

Okay, thanks!
I've seen a guide but I believe it was from 2017. Is it the same for current FireOS (6.2.7.1)? I have the latest Aerial Dream apk (1.8) and would like to enable it through adb. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
