Hi guys, what are the best roms for the kindle fire? i currently have gedeROM installed, but i want to experiment with others. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !!
Ok there are not best ROMs, in my experience no such thing.
It is what is best for the user, some like this and some like that... It is user preference, I understand you meant no harm, but if you want to experiment go for it as to your needs are different from others...So just get your flash on and experiment away, k.
Reading the threads of the ROM you are looking at should help you along with any Q&A for that ROM, if your looking for ideas...
Thank You.

Hey everyone,
I have bought myself a Galaxy S 2 which is brilliant and has taken over from my Desire as my main device, but this has led me to the question, is it worth rooting my Desire and playing with custom roms now I do not have to rely on it as my main device?
It is on Orange, android 2.2, and if I mess it up, I suppose I could just drop it in a pool of water and return it on insurance lol
Reason I ask is because all the rooting threads confuse the crap out of me, but I have always been interested in messing around and seeing just what this phone is capable of or just what could be done to speed it up or have it looking super cool with new user experience.
I suppose the main question is, can you customise the phone to the same level without rooting and custom roms, and is it really that much better when rooted?
Any opinions are very welcome.
Also, it is an SLCD, orange branded but network unlocked using the CD method I found on the forums. Is there anything I need to know about my phone, before I root, if I decide to root.
Anyway, thanks for any and all opinions or help on this.
Biffy.
Root and s-off if you want to be able to to anything.
After that you have to chose the rom ... The most difficult !
I currently use LeeDroiD 3.0.8.2 (GB + sense) in A2SD+ version. Fast, stable and enough features inside for me.
to me installing custom rom is more because of curiousity. I learned quite a lot because of this custom roms thingie, since i was too worried to try it and done a LOT of reading here and there. until now, lol
Thanks for the replies So do you guys think that the custom roms improve the phone? If not improve, is it fun again playing with the phone when you've installed a rom?
I'd love to install something with a new version of sense to see what it's like, as playing with the Desire HD in a shop, it seemed really good.
Anyway cheers for the replies I'm gonna read more about rooting..
Cheers.
I was also worried in the beginning but I read all the tutorials on forum and it is very easy to put custom ROM. Also I'm using 2.1+3.0 sense and it is very nice + ROM is fast and stable

Brilliant Thanks I'll take a look there as that sounds perfect
Biff.
Just done Unrevolked and phone is in ClockworkMod Recovery now, seems it is rooted lol.
I will leave it there and read more see what else I can do or what my next step is...
Ok, i'm getting excited now, as i've rooted and S-Off'd my phone now, and have gparted ready to sort out the SDCARD
This is where i'm stuck as I don't know which ROM to use, although I believe a gingersense (If I can convince myself I don't want to use camera?) or a HD Rom would be best for me to try.
I think the AOSP? Stock android roms are a little .. shall we say .. ugly, and the MIUI (iphoneish) ones are too iphoney.
So what do you guys reckon are the best gingersense or HD roms about?
Cheers for all the posts and suggestions, it's going well I think
Biff.
I'm using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070
it's fast and stable, cheers
Awesome, that one looks great i'll see if I can get it installed later.
Tried to install Cyanogenmod 7 CM1 through ROM manager, but I am getting what I believe is referred to in the trade as a boot loop lol
Will have a play to sort it out
Hey, I know there are already a fair number of threads out there on this, but they all seem to be for "n00bs" or beginners, which I am not. I would like to write a custom ROM, including comiling the kernel and all that other jazz. I get the basics of *modifying* a ROM, but what if I want to significantly change something? And I have yet to find a tutorial on how you can compile the Android kernel for the Captivate Glide. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I'm thinking about trying to just compiling vanilla ICS (pun intended ) so that I can get the hang of the process. Then I can do my own stuff and not be constantly worrying about bricking my phone.
Hi there, I'm new as galaxy note user and I saw a lot of custom rom. I'd like to know which one is the best custom rom for you for the p600 version.
Thank you so much

You are not going to get an answer to that question on XDA.
1. "Best rom" is a personal opinion
2. People are not going to claim a best because it kinda takes away from some devs who put a lot of hard work into their roms.
Download the available ones and try them all out. That's your answer.
The best advice we can give is to try a few and see what works for you. Different set ups give different results. Even with the same rom. It's why we don't allow comparison threads on xda. Our devs out in a lot of work to give users choice.
I've closed this, but enjoy trying some different builds.

*I would also like to know the opinions of other testers and devs for this question.
Nobody is going to help you with this question because the point is for you to try the rom yourself. Do some research, bite the bullet and start flashing any and every rom until you find one that suites your needs.
Oh, I think some people might be willing to help, the problem is, your question is to nebulous. You need to give more information.
First the easy stuff.
Newest? Look at the dates of the threads or go to the main thread on ROMs, it usually lists the latest updates. Unless you are taking about the newest version of android (like Lollipop). In that case, look for a higher number. Kit Kat is 4.4,: Lollipop is 5.0
Most Stable? Get a rooted version of rooted Kit Kat stock. It was made specifically for the phone and will likely be most stable
Best? I want slimport out, USB otg, working Bluetooth, and stable. I went with a debloated version of rooted stock (10r version). That is currently the "best" for me. You might want speed, even less bloat, more customization, etc. Your best is going to be different than others.
Give us more details and people can help you. A blanket request for "best" is not enough to go by.
Good luck!
You're not going to get more stable than stock based. I'd be using that if I didn't care about open source and possible spying. Right now I've got PACMAN 4.4.4 without GAPPS with minor issues I can live with but am getting tired of. Might try Carbon next or something.
Avoid anything 5.0 based for now, as it really doesn't feel ready yet.

Rooting can be daunting if you are not confident and knowledgeable about modding your phone. As always, there is a risk when installing custom ROMs.
But with success, the G3 rocks! Good luck!

So, I decided to root my device. It worked. Now I'd like to have a ROM. I want like Pure Android looking one, but with a lot of customizing options. You can tell me some good ones! But first, few questions.
-Does installing ROM reset my phone?
-Can it break my phone?
This question doesn't really go with ROMs, but can I get iOS styled emojis to my device? How?
Ty for the help, I'm noobie with these things! <3

All the ROMS at the top of the development threads are very good. Some of the best for customization are Blisspop and AICP. Official CM builds and F4K's works are also very good. Read each thread for current bug reports.
You may well lose what's on your phone, use titanium backup to backup apps, and DO A NANDROID BACKUP from recovery in case something goes wrong.
Unless you don't follow the instructions of ROM thread or overclock you phone to silly levels you shouldn't break your phone.
Not sure about iPhone emoji but if you search XDA or Google you should find something.
Your last question almost made me ignore this post. You can't ask questions like that on here! Will get you in trouble with forum MODs.
