It's to flash a amazon fire hd7

Depends on the model. I unlocked mine with an official app and flashed with Linux. Old phone I had to unlock on Windows.

Depends

fastboot and adb are on linux and work great
if you need more than that you have a shitty locked down device

>>57188370
Thx, will check fastboot and adb, the device is an amazon hd fire 7 tate, it's just that the tutorial on the dedicated CM page was not mentionning linux once

>>57188370
This

>>57187030
Yes it is of course
I have
Basically IIRC it's as easy as flashing a custom recovery ROM on your phone through the ADB protocol (or fastboot?), transfering the Cyanogen and Gapps images from your computer to your phone through ADB again, and then boot in recovery on your phone and install CyanogenMod and Gapps from there

But yeah you need adb and fastboot which are in repositories or PPAs depending on your distro and its version

I can post my install notes somewhere if you need more info

Yes, I did it from Fedora. There's a package that contains everything (android-tools or something similar) and you basically do all the abp commands from the shell.
Think about it, it's a command-line program made for communicating with a Linux device. Of course you can do it on a Linux desktop.

sudo apt-get install android-tools
adb push cm13.zip
Done

You need to root it

Here, extracts from my install notes. Valid for Ubuntu 16.04 I think but only tested on 14.04. Of course you need to know your device's specific button combination to boot it into the bootloader.

Read the help/man pages of adb and fastboot, they're short.

Thanks for all the help!

Thx, i'll search about that first

Probably the driver issues to unlock, many flasher use a windows to unlock bl, install recovery, and rom. Some idiotproof sofware are made on windows example sony f!ashtool, xiaomi flash tool, mediatek sp flash tool etc.

It's tough

I got two and I couldnt figure it out so I gave up. Let me know if you get it to work

>>57187030
I just did that motafucka.

Btw, how can I get apps from google play without gapps? I really hate the battery draining but I need some apps from there. I already know about F-Droid.

>>57192926
apkmirror or related sites I guess.

>>57187030
it's super fucking easy, I have never installed a ROM from Windows or Mac, I only have expierience with Linux, I just use ADB and Fastboot and if you wanna get freaky then compile the ROM from source and flash that, we shouldn't have to hold your fucking hand for an easy ass thing that is already WIDELY documented about

>>57187030
You don't even need a PC for that. For recovery, maybe. But all cool small utils are Windows only, that's been like that for decades and not going to change any time soon.

How good is RR compared to CM? It seems more bloated to me

I don't understand. I just plugged in my phone, transferred the CM zip, and flashed in TWRP...

and...? you're done, that's all
flash the gapps too if you want
