You can find aditional info about these builds on Kodinerds forum.
I have tried the Maven kodinerds v21 20240810 build for Android on my Cube 2 in Fire OS. A DV P7 file with no FEL plays and triggers DV on my LG G3, so that is something. Files with DV P7 FEL do not play correctly though. They trigger the DV logo but the colors are wrong. I have two test files for validating FEL, one CMV 2.9 and the other CMV 4.0. Both play back perfectly on this device in CoreElec. With this maven build, I again get the DV logo but the rendering is not correct, I can't see the text which indicates FEL is working.
It's a bit difficult for me to peruse Kodinerds forum because it's mostly in German and I'm just a dumb American.I did see one mention of FEL, which I believe was by you, with a link to the popular spreadsheet which omits mentioning the Cube 2 as a supported FEL player.

On my AM6B+ FEL test file "FEL BL_EL.mkv" plays OK. FEL Test CMV 2.9.mp4 plays OK, but same test for CMV 4.0 does not play OK (plays OK in CoreElec)
Since CoreElec enabled P7 FEL on this devices I stopped using Android Kodi for Dolby Vision, but still update it regularly. Don't know about FireOS settings in Cube 2, but there is one option in Kodi Settings/Player that disables P7 FEL - converts it to P8.1. In Setting/System I have Display set to3,840 x 2,160 at 60 Hz...
I also don't speak German well, but they have an German/English language switch, and in Chrome I use page translator if something is not clear to me...

Yes I am aware of the Kodi setting for on the fly DV P7 to P8, I don't have that enabled.

I'll post over on kodinerds and see if the main dev responds.

I see that you did not get any answer there, maybe my Maven's Kodi Omega settings on AM6B+ can be of some help.
Made some relevant SS of Android settings and Kodi settings and photos of test files:

Thanks. The cube 2 obviously doesn't have those same Android settings but I do have its output mode set to adaptive. Non FEL DV content does play back okay in Kodi/Kodinerds, so I think that part is good.

As for the Kodi settings, what I have mostly mirrors yours under Display and Videos.
