Bought an early one. Used it for less than a year.

I still have it. Can they be flashed with Lineage or something?

What? That's crazy, I've never heard this story. Got anything I should search on?

I'm surprised it wasn't showing ads before. The fire tablets are discounted if they show ads on the lock screen.
