    I got 12.1 from xda forum. Nothing is 100% safe when it comes to custom ROMs.
    Lineageos is the next CM. Run latest android on a sony sp. Runs like charm.

    Amazon App Store, Fire OS - based on Android.

    I thought 'Android tablet for my 8 year old kid' was going to be a swap offer at first. Plenty of Tories on here. They love that sorta thing.
