How 'usable' is a Fire with OS 5.x.x.x on it? My Nexus 7 (2012) has just died, after a very long illness. It had a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix) which was essentially Android 7, but apps would repeatedly crash. (I didn't use it for much mainly as a controller for LMS, using Material Skin, really, plus for listening to BBC Sounds and a Podcast app via headphones.) So, even if I were to use Amazon Fire Toolbox and get Google Play Store on an Fire HD 8 Gen 7, etc, how many apps will actually run reliably on a version of Android 5? Or am I missing the point of getting one? Thanks. Duet x 3, via various hi-fi. LMS running on Raspberry Pi OS (Debian 10) + OMV on a Pi4 (4GB RAM) in an Argon Neo case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SpiderJon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116398 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
