CM12 / Android TV ROM Development topic

This thread is for development updates, and an eventual release of testing candidates for the future of dual booting CM12 android roms on the Amazon Fire TV. At this time I am not planing on supporting the Fire TV stick since my development platform is based off USB3 booting.

There currently isn't even a stable branch in CM12 upstream so things are quite tricky right now.
I may eventually setup public nightlies once the core is stable.

The goals for development are in this order:

1. Wifi [working]


2. Bluetooth [crashing]


3. Stable core [random resets possibly storage related]


4. Audio [possibly needs hacking to default to hdmi]


5. Recovery system [rom boots using the recovery partition currently]


6. Hardware Acceleration [untested]


7. Android TV addons [require stable core]


8. USB Formating and install app [apparently not everyone knows what gparted is]


9. Modified version of Rbox's bootloader [I'd like to add recovery to the loader then have stock and custom boot options]

Also, if you want to be ready for possible nightly testing, I highly recommend going to walmart and buying one of the playstation USB3 hubs. It's about but allows you to plug in a USB3 drive and keyboard and mouse until bluetooth is working.
