Didn't expect that to happen, also could this be ported to the 2015 Fire 7, as they're the same tablet?
EDIT - Apparently it's still FireOS 5, even though the official update page says FireOS 6.

The only Roms I was able to track down where slimlp and lineage version 12. Can I use the 2018 Roms that the 8th gen has that can use android version 9.0?
Hi All,
I've found a few unresolved issues with both versions of Lineage OS for my Fire HD 10 2017 model. Can I just apply the FireOS back using TWRP? What would be the latest version I could apply so that I could root it to de-bloat it?
Thanks
Hi
I'm using a Fire HD 8 with Fully Kiosk Browser as a home automation control panel and it works great. Its rooted and I'm using Lineage 16, which is super.
I've just bought a Fire HD 10 2017 on Fire OS 5.6.6.0 and plan to use it for the same purpose. Fully Kiosk runs ok on Fire OS, but is better with original android. I'm considering rooting the HD 10, but there aren't as many ROM options and in general, it seems like less development or interest in the HD 10 compared to the HD 8. The most recent lineage build with working camera (necessary for fully kiosk motion detection) is Lineage 12.
Does anyone have any advice on the topic? Am I better with an older original Android installation or a newer Fire OS and try to debloat as much as I can?
Thanks

I read that on Aug 10, Hydrogen is coming. For those of you that have it please write a few majors that us Oxygen users need to be aware of. One thing comes out that Google is not included. Not sure if I like that since everything in the US is Googlized.
Thanks
Huh? Hydrogen OS 11 will be unveiled on August 10, but that's for China. Europe & the US will get Oxygen OS 11, but at an unknown, later date.
