Fire Tablet 7 7gen ROMS?

I have flashed a bootloader to my device to run custom roms. Right now I am running Fire OS revamped. Does anyone know of any stock android roms that will work with the Fire 7 7th gen? I have tried the ones listed here

The only 2 that would install are the fire os and the resurrection. The resurrection I can get google apps to install on. Its a 5.1 rom and I have tried the 5.1 g-apps but says its the wrong version when installing. The other roms fail when installing.

Reason for wanting to install stock android is so I can update webview, turn the screen on/off in Fully, and disable the lock screen. I have found a work around for the lock screen but doesnt always work. I have tried the screen saver dimming work around but would like the screen to turn off instead.

Do you know if I can install custom roms on Fire HD 8 - 7th gen hardware? If so, does it require hacking hardware?

not sure. This fire 7 required shorting a pin on the inside to install the custom bootloader.

I believe they have a full software root/ bootloader unlock.

The dev behind this rom has done work on many fire tablets.

Posted a reply asking if it will work on the 7. I might just try and flash it and see what happens.

got Lineage to work. The one I tried was for the wrong kernel.
