Experienced rom users,
What do you think is the best ics rom for the kindle fire right now? In terms of stability and with features.
I'm currently running energy and it seems great so far.
Explain why and thanks in advance for your input!

I recommend gedeROM and Hashcode's rom. They are both very good rooms and have lots of features. Energy rom is also good but I had Wi-Fi issues with it.

It depends on his moods. Just try them all. Anyway, flashing is somehow kind of fun.

I checked out ReLoaded + Hash's kernel as my first ICS rom... never found a reason to try any others as of yet.

[Q] EnergyROM vs. gedeROM vs. ReloadedROM, which is the best from the BIG 3?

EnergyROM vs. gedeROM vs. ReloadedROM?
Which are you using? I'm trying to figure out which is the best currently out, the most stable and with the most up to date features? Just trying to get an idea of what each ROM has that makes it different from the other.
I have tried all of those and I'd have to say...
gedeRom
I'm using gedeROM. I haven't tried Reloaded ROM but between gedeROM and Energy, gedeROM has more features.
Im using this one been very pleased with it http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23717-rom5202012unofficial-aokp-build-36-for-kindle-fire/ sorry off topic
GedeROM
I like Energy the best.
i like gede because of the lockscreen shortcuts and the theme option, reloaded is really stable, i had issues with energy so i dont run it. i couldnt get gederom to recognize my home network but when i woke up this morning it was connected so i am going to be sticking with the gederom.
Gederom for sure!

gedeROM has been awesome for me. I've been using it on three different Kindle Fires (Kindles Fire?) for the last few weeks and they have been extremely stable.
Yes, gedeROM seems to be my daily ROM for the foreseeable future, really no bugs and it works well. I might try that AOKP ROM see what it's all about?
Out of those three, gedeROM is my favorite. My current choice is twa_priv's ROM based on the SGT7.
Sorry for off topic. But I vote for stock CM9 or stock AOKP.

Not at all off topic always fair game to introduce a new Challenger into the mix!
My vote is for gedeRom though. After playing with a few over the last couple of months its been the most solid performer on my Kindle Fire.

I have tried Energy, Reloaded, and now gedeROM -- I have stuck with gede. To be fair, both Energy and Reloaded were tested by me before the new 3.0 kernel was out. NO updates for weeks on end caused me to give up on Energy.
gedeROM runs pretty darn good for me (1.35), to the point where I haven't even tried the last two updates YET.
Haven't tried energy but ran reloaded for a month and I switched to gede. More features. Reloaded ran great but a few more bugs than gede.

Gederom! Really want to try sgt7 though, it looks awesome. If I wasn't so comfy with my current rom, I'd switch.

All of them are stable enough to use for daily use.
I've used the ICS reloaded ROM and the gedeROM. ICS reloaded is ok, a bit unstable at times and for whatever reason sucks the battery dry in no time, even on standby. gedeROM was much more stable for me, and just as smooth as my phone's CM9 ROM. Just read reviews in the development threads before you decide, most are pretty stable at this point. Also, if you're feeling adventurous, check out hash's JB ROM, I flashed it last night and it's incredibly slick and buttery smooth, pun intended of course.

In my opinion, CM9 by twa_priv is he best ICS ROM out there. It's updated very often, is extremely stable and works smoothly.

There are many good ones. I've used Gede (solid), Energy (didn't work out for me), and I'm currently on Glazed which I'd recommend giving a shot.

If I wanted to do that I would have gotten her an iphone. Just looking for some feedback on stable ROMs for the gn

Wtf is wrong with stock? I run rooted stock and I'm completely happy with it. What exactly is she using the phone for? If she isn't an enthusiast like most of us, she wouldn't be able to tell the difference. If all she is doing is texting, using social networking, watching videos, and talking, stock is fine. If you're feeling risky, experiment.
She likes the themes and toggles. She's been hooked since cm6

I would guess CM, but I don't know how far along in development CM10 is. I'm sure there is something out there. There are just so many ROMs it isn't even funny.
Personally, if you want stability, I'd rock CM10 or AOKP.
Many of the others are simply mashups if the two; and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing, I put my full trust in Roms who have written the majority of their own code rather than Cherry Picking commits from others.
In the long run, it's her/your choice.
But I've had great success, personally, with AOKP.
That being said, my bread-and-butter may not match yours.
The best bet would be to teach her how to flash Roms herself so she can try each one for a day or so.
Post two of the guide in my sig would be a good place to send her.
She can then get herself up and running; and won't have to continually rely on you.
I've been running AOKP nightly builds and recently their official Build 1 and haven't had any problems even though I've been lazy and dirty flashed the last two updates. +1 to AOKP JB Build 1
How about Eclipse? I've been running that on Jellybean for a long time, totally rock solid.

CM10 and Trinity. Good battery, performance, and everything in between. But try stuff out and see what is stable for you. battery life varies from phone to phone.
Code name android with 384/1344 trinity and she will be flying

[Q] Your favorite ROM + Kernel Combo?

Hey guys, one of my friends lent me his kindle to root and overclock and all that good stuff and since I'm a noob in this section, I'm wondering what are your favorite roms and kernels that I could hook him up with. So far I downloaded two CM10 based roms, (Alien Droid and Jandycane) and now I'm looking for a great kernel. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
The kernel is already in the ROM. Just load the ROM. You overlooked a ROM using hashcode's new kernel, twa_priv's latest. Check it out.

Thanks! Will do.
I'm kinda used to seeing kernels developed alone every once in a in the Optimus 3D section

I used Jandycane and some other CM10 based roms for a while, then I tried twa_priv's version and have been much happier with it. Some of the features on Jandycane are cool but this rom is much more stable and is still being updated frequently. Below is a link to twa_priv's thread. It would at least be good to check out if you want to try different ones.

Most stable rom

I usually hate threads like this but I have a question to keep my sanity.
So I am getting a kindle fire for a friend, I am looking for something I won't have to constantly be fixing it for things other than small normal stuff.
That being said there are only 2 qualifiers with this:
1. Needs to be AOSP based
2. And I'd prefer it to be CM9 or Newer
And this sleep of death thing scares me ( yes I know reboot fixes just not trying to deal with it)

I have found that ICS ROMs run best on Kindle Fires. I currently use twa_priv's CM9 rom and I have no problems with it. And battery life is pretty good.

When the first Kindle came out my girlfriend insisted on getting it. Worked okay at first, but quickly became unstable/broken. She asked if I could do anything to make it better. Loaded several custom roms and she always came back saying it was the same story. Worked okay for a few days. Most often the browser randomly closes. Sometimes as soon as you open it.
I've been unable thus far to find something that is reliable.
I am going to give your suggestion a try.
I've been using CM 10.1 for a week now with zero problems. I mostly use it for games, but also Browsing, Flipboard, Netflix, and various other apps. No issues other than the battery drains faster than it did stock. But that was expected.
