So i have everything up and running with lineage and wallpanel. Does FK expose the device as a media player? Doesnt seem like wallpanel does but i guess i could hack something together with browser_mod to get that stuff.
Yes FK does. You have to be careful naming as I have a long list of audio player entries now! Gets confusing.
And if im reading this right, its $8 per license for FKB or does one license work across all devices?
One licence per device but you can buy a multi device licence which is quite a bit cheaper
When flashing with edl I get a lot of errors saying firehose - [LIB]: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'totalsectors' . And it will no longer boot. Booting in recovery mode and edl mode still works.
I guess my partitions are gone? Anyway to restore from this state?
I donāt think Iāve seen that error. What have you done so far and what image are you flashing?
I had A8.1 installed. Then tried to flash Lineage, but it failed with this error message.
Tried to flash A8.1 again but that also shows the same error.
After all that i flashed 200628.084 from XDA, but the same result.
Can anyone help explain why a dashboard wouldnāt work on the Lenovo vs any other tablet I have in my system? I built a new dashboard for the 3 Lenovoās Iām using and I used the Lovelace Button-Card add-on for it. If I open the dashboard on my computer or on my FireHD8 Plus, it works perfectly fine. If I open it on the Lenovo which is what it was built for, I get the āCustom element doesnāt exist: button-cardā error.
Iāve rebooted, refreshed, etcā¦ Nothing seems to work. If I load my old dashboard (which I thankfully backed up) it works as expected. Super baffled why Iām getting this error only on the Lenovo.
Try the official Lenovo recovery tool?
Yeah good option -
Iāve just posted my Lineage install guide to GitHub if anyone is interested. If you do have a look and follow it, please let me know if there are any questions, issues or anything missing.
Iāve also written up my dashboard install and shared the yaml for what itās worth:

Amazing. I thought I had bought a dud, couldnāt get the install right somehow. This thing worked like a charm! Thank you so much.

I had my thinksmart upgraded from stock to A11 I used the mngarchow tutorial from view-assist GitHub discussion.
Iāve then followed your instructions and ādowngradedā from A11 to lineageos 15 using the windows laptop I used for the previous upgrade.
All went smoothly, the only problem I had was that after the lineageos first boot and configuration I had problem using adb to push some APK (wall view and virtual buttons). My laptop recognized the TS as MTP device and do it didnāt loaded the adb drivers.
Iāve lost no time in troubleshooting and fired up my Linux machine to end it quickly.
I donāt know if it could be a setting error that I made or a driver conflict, you may set a note in that regard if you feel itās worth.
Thank you for the clear and reassuring guide (I almost sweared when the Gapps install freezed at 47% then I saw your note and relaxed)ā¦

Excellent. Glad it worked out 
Does this Lineage 15.1 also make USB OTG work easily, or will I still need to learn how to do use the pin-connector thing I just got from Amazon (that you previously linked)?
I donāt know. Wasnāt me that linked that I donāt think?
I have just been experimenting with a newer version of WebView on the TSV. Iāve added new instructions to the install guide here:
Lineage 15.1 Installation guide
At the time of writing, Lineage 15.1 ships with Android System WebView 100.0.4896.127. You can install a newer version if you like but you need to ensure itās compatible with Android 8.1. Iāve tried Android System WebView 125.0.6422.165 (arm64-v8a + arm-v7a) (Android 8.0+) which seems to work ok. In basic, non-scientific testing, loading a fairly complex web page app side-by-side, the newer version performed slightly faster. The mealie web app, running within an HA dashboard as a popup and loading the home page with recipe images, was around four seconds faster than the old WebView version. I swapped the WebView version over on both devices and saw the same performance increase, showing it wasnāt some other setting affecting performance.
Probably cuz the webview apk is old. Look at updating your android webview.

Iāve also seen this with some custom elements - it normally gets resolved if I refresh or reload the dashboard. Iām wondering if the relevant js code isnāt getting loaded in time (or at all)? The error seem to think it canāt find it. Also on an HA restart, I often see these kinds of errors until the page finishes loading or is refreshed.There are loads of cache settings to play with if using Fully Kiosk Browser.
