Has anyone else seen or tried this OS for Kindle Fire HDs? Seems to be based on Cyanogenmod, but you pay for the installer and support. Was wondering how this compared to Hashcode's version?
N2Aos
I was using my faithful, trusty rooted Nexus 7 for the past year, but really needed a bigger screen. Was given a used fire hd 8.9. Hated it.
Decided to give N2Aos a try. Twenty minutes and twenty dollars later, I drove away in a new, pure android tablet powered by Cyanogen 10.1
and I never had to touch the tablet during the process. It was all done remotely.
That was approx 6 wks ago and still running like new. One caveat though, some launchers have weird glitches in landscape mode, but work ok in portrait. A coding problem of some kind. Other than that, it's perfect.

Nope, never tried it. My tablet is customization as it is with CM 10.2 kernel. I put on it what I want and remove what I don't. This might work well for those that don't want to fool around with modding their tablets themselves, fair enough. But seems like a waste of money for those capable of doing it themselves.

I say that not to be mean, but because of using my other Android devices the last few years and loving it, I was looking forward to a similar experience with the 10.1 tablet (WiFi,) only to find out it seems like there really isn't a scene for this rom.
I saw one rom that was discontinued, and maybe 1 or 2 more, but it doesn't seem like the roms are being maintained like on other devices. Maybe I am wrong and missing something, but if there is any other roms for this 10.1 tablet (WiFi) that I am missing out on, please do point me that roms way so I could give it a try.
Thank you,

Yeah I wish I had bought the tab 2 10.1. Only difference in specs is this retarded intel cpu. Breaks my heart to see all those roms in the tab 2 10.1 forum. I guess I secretly hoped someone would port windows 7 or 8 to this because of the cpu. Captain backfire, [me] my last tablet was a dell streak 7, so I am no stranger to orphaned devices. At least we get kit kat (hopefully)
Of those that are available, the discontinued BinDroid ONE v.2.0.1 seems to be the best, IMHO. Has a nice look and feel. All the bloat is gone and it runs very smoothly. Will it increase battery life I don't know. I haven't run it all day to see what I will get out of it. I really don't use my tab for anything but as a small chart plotter for sailing in to/out of harbors. And in that regard, it works great. GPS is very fast and accurate.

No idea what you are trying to get out of it, but you can do any of the mods that developers do for the ROMs on your own with very little effort. Root, then freeze or remove apps you don't need. Use xPOsed to tweak the theme. Forget overclock and voltage, its not worth the effort. Don;t like the home screens?, install a new launcher from the play store.

Yes...I can do all of those things...but have you ever installed a custom rom? I mean come on man. it's a little more than home screens and a launcher dude. I have had kitkat on my captivate for 6 months and it is a 2010 device. Cyanogen even supports it but not my brand new tab 3 10.1. Yes, root and remove apps is no big deal but certainly not the reason I install custom roms. Is that the reason you install a custom rom? If so...you don't expect much from your device.
Are even Intel devices overclockable? I thought that Intel restricts such thing. Feel free to correct me. The GPU is another story though...
Absolutely love my kfhd8.9 running cm11 (huge thanks to Hashcode!), but was wondering if the twrp running on our devices is capable of being modified like the Galaxy S3 that allows multiboot:

It's great to be able to run the latest and greatest roms on my phone while preserving a "stock" environment for Wifi Calling/Messaging (T-Mobile) when I need it.
Probably not possible with this device and it's piggybacked boot loader, but I've been curious for a while and figured that I'd ask anyone who may know...
Thanks!

Well this was looked at before but if you compare amazon os to cm the ecosystem is too different from what I heard so it couldn't be done. Might work between other ROMs but I don't think anyone is going to create it for that purpose though but you never know.

Is it possible or is anyone working on anything further than Kitkat? Since this phone has same workings as that of Nexus 5 just curious. Can this phone handle all that and more?
Can you provide a kernel for an Android L/M based ROM? No? Question answered.
All that and more? The hardware could handle it, although you won't get 100% of the benefits, e.g. ARMv8 instructions...
"... same workings as that of Nexus 5" ➜ TIL, Android phones work like LEGO.
People's got to stop asking these kind of questions. Amazon has just announced it'll release FireOS based on Lollipop, but has not confirmed the Fire Phone is among the devices that'll see the update. Even then, it has just been announced, not released. Devs need the upgraded kernel from FireOS 5 (read, not released yet, maybe ever), and to get it it'd be needed a rooted FireOS 5 Fire Phone.
Amazon hasn't released FireOS 5, so no root for FireOS 5, so no new kernel, so no Lollipop for Fire Phone. If Amazon halts development for the Fire Phone (unlikely but possible), we'll have to stick to KitKat.
They did release the sources for HD 6 &7 though I don't really know what the motivation was to do so? Also, those aren't phones.
And if anyone is knowledgeable enough to point me toward some more info on what the developer Hashcode did...he was able to utilize a second bootloader and now kfhd7 (a version of jellybean, I think) is running 5.1--pretty well actually.
These are inquiries on my part. Understanding exactly how he did it and what it actually required, other than enormous talent, is beyond me.
So I got a deal on the Fire 8.9 LTE on Woot, bought one for my mom for Christmas, since she's been wanting an LTE tablet so she can look at maps "on a big screen!" that she can't currently see on her phone.
Part of me just wants to leave it stock and not mess with it, but I know she'll get frustrated by the Amazon ads & clunky interface. I was hoping to install Cyanogenmod or something a little more stock Android-ish, but everything I've read so far is that none of them support LTE, which is the main feature my mom needs to be able to use. Something about an old 10.1 CM build was mentioned in some threads, but it looks abandoned and buggy.
So is there any daily-driver worthy ROM that has functional LTE? Or should I try to go with rooting the stock image, or just leave it alone? Thanks!
I have three Nexus 7 (2013) debs and have tried several custom Pie ROMs. I'm currently using the Unofficial Lineage 16.1 ROM. The devices all intermittently reboot while browsing regardless of the browser. It's really a PITA. Does anyone know the reason and a solution? Maybe I should buy an Amazon Fire HD 8 at the current discounted price even though it doesn't have cellular support.
Thanks.
