To be Honest,I hate Cyanogenmod 10.1,it lags, freezes,and the browser crashes very often.I used gedeROM for a little while and was VERY satisfied,but then i read a post from soupmagnet saying that the kernel that gederom uses could cause decrease in battery life over time,i want confirmation for that and dont say to get aosp 4.2.2,i tried that and it was ok i guess but my kindle got frozen saying that it was charging even though it wasnt (yes i tried rebooting)so pls tell me if theres a fix for the charging loop or a better rom or if gederom doesnt cause that btw pls dont mention cm 10.2 it wont work better
I've been using Simple CM9 with good results so far. Not sure about the kernel/battery life stuff. Nothing has had better battery life for me than hashcode's 4.3 aosp. I'll be watching that one as it matures.

The latest ROMs usually have the latest kernel (low level bugfixes), and compatibility with Google's services. From what I've noticed, higher versions of Android don't cause more lag or use more memory either.
I haven't personally upgraded to 4.3 because I think it needs to mature a bit more, and become more stable, but I'm running 4.2.

Well I installed twa privs cm10.1 again.....and 4.2 still sucks on the kindle fire. The "Stable" official one is even worse..... I have always hated 4.2 on the kindle.....any older/better rom suggestions? (note i am not going with the barebones cm9 roms.....any good smooth roms fo me too try?i cant go with smoothrom because of the bloat of the installers.... NoteLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO GO BACK TO STOCK....STOCK IS WORSE THAN 4.2 ON THE KINDLE....(i forgot i had caps on but i don't care to retype that) I cant go with gingerbread because of lack of support.
I've been running SmoothROM since February. It's very quick and buttery smooth. The battery life is better than my Galaxy Tab 7+

Stock Jelly Bean 4.3_r2.1 for the Kindle Fire is the best for my Fire
I was the fan of CM for Fire since 2011. However I have lots of troubles with the CM10.1/SGT7. It was smoothly after installed but later, it freezed, getting hot and need restarting everytime I let it sleep long (more than 1 hour). So when I see the Stock Jelly Bean 4.3_r2.1 for the Kindle Fire from Hashcode, I get it and no regret, even it is the stock ROM, no tablet UI and convenients of CM ROM. It almost never freezzing. Stick with this ROM. :good:

I never thought while I was looking for the solution to my problems with the fire 1st gen updated to 10.2 ... that the solution might have been in a discussion titled "best rom for kindle fire" thanks a lot for suggestions!!
Some people can show to me where I could download the roms suggested or the exact name and version to look for them? And gapps?
:good:
isn't it against the rule to ask what is the best rom?
HellFire KF ROM
I'm running 2013-11-01 Hellfire ROM on Kindle Fire 1st Gen; Context Switching has lagging issues; coming out of power saving a bear; no update since Nov 1 & no change logs; choosing a build is shooting in dark; 10.2 CM video so much better than stock using MX PRO; smoother
Wish to try CM11, but 1st release beta; waiting
getting KF ready from ROM swap was head thumping on Win 8 & Win 8.1 (OS refused device driver installation even w/ user overide); but cake on Win 7 Uliti;
This is personally my favorite ROM and is updated regularly. This developer is usually on the bleeding edge of the latest fixes and updates.

after the lag issues and exasperating slowness of the kindle, I tried the CM11 (cm-11-20131208-1703-otter-sgt7) with the appropriate gapps and I also flashed this file "change_to_nexus7-4.4" (after installation).
Now the kindle came back fast and responsive. Yeah, not so fast as with the stock rom, but better than using Hellfire rom. It 'ok and the only "bug" I've found (however known), is that one relating to the mounting of the storage archive. I Solved it using apposite app in the store and restarting the device
I am satisfied, now.
Now I just clicked on the link of Laquox and he suggests the same rom GJ!

I just used this kernal for my kindle fire which is running android 4.3.1 PAC man rom which is Pac version 4.3 build-1, AOKP version otter_jb mr2, cyanogen mod 1-.2-20140128-unoficcial-otter, paranoid android 3.99-rc2
It has made this kindle exponentially faster as if i was just using my note 2, which is running the same pacman rom.
my guess is that I probably should not be running this kernal with this set up, but it really is super smooth and fast.
if anyone could point me to a faster kernal or a overclocker app which would make it even faster, please do.
under the performance tab in the settings, my maximum CPU frequency is only 1008MHz.
Id love to get this clocking at higher speeds if it is possible so please do let me know any secrets im missing oput on.
Every tegrak overclocker app i have tried says that it wont work for this kindle.
Is there anything i am missing?
At the end of the day, thanks for this kernal. I only loaded the kernal, and gept the gaps i already had loaded.
hi all,
I eager to try kitkat version on my kindle fire, and tried several different rom. today I see an article about CM11 M2 Snapshot Build, that supposed to be more stable than nightly build. I do search here about CM11 snapshot build, but didnt find a single thread about this. why is that? from CM webpage, otter version is availble, no one try this? or there's a reason people didnt try this version?
mainly I want to try out the significant improvement with ART, but most ROM said we shouldnt use ART, because it is not stable yet, anyone can point me to the one that works? or at least let me which KitKat ROM that is most stable so far for kindle fire.
meanwhile, I keep getting back to Jandycane for my ROM
thanks
Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591850
That's nightlies not snapshot build, is it the same?

Yes, page 298 is where people start discussing the M2 build.
Hey guys, I got a Kindle Fire 2 here that I installed a 4.2.2 Jellybean Stock ROM about a year ago. While it's served me well, it has a few issues. I'm looking to see if you guys would recommend any particular ROM to install?
Furthermore, I tried looking at the CyanogenMod for Kindle Fire 2, but I'm not entirely sure what's the difference between CM10.1 Nightlies and CM11 Nightlies. I see people in a CM11 thread asking for Official CM10.1 nightlies, but I'm confused as I would think CM11 would be better?
Thanks in advance fellas. :fingers-crossed:

Cm11 is better (it's the latest and greatest). Less bugs and runs faster. Honestly there are very few knowledgeable people in these forums. . Hence the questions. Also- there are no new cm10.1 nightlies.
What particular issues are you trying to resolve? Maybe I can point you in the right direction.

Hi everyone,
I recently got an old kindle fire 1st gen from someone and want to install a custom rom on it, I have rooted it installed custom recovery but I want to know what's the most stable ROM(other then stock) for it regardless of how old or new it is or it's version of android.
Thanks,
What version of Android are you looking for? Or are you perhaps interested in other OSs? I suggest checking out @sd_shadow's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859851 thread.
Choosing a thread you are interested in and reading at least the last several pages of it to see if anyone has reported problems is a good place to start. If you are up for @Hashcode's OtterX partition conversion, I've found the latest versions of all the OtterX KitKat and Lollipop ROMs to be stable.

Thanks for replying, I have seen several threads but still feel confused, I recently got a used first gen kindle from someone and want to flash a custom rom so it's more like an android tablet as I don't like the kindle interface and features :/, wanted to ask based on user experience which rom has soo far been the most stable lollipop or kitkat or jellybean would be fine, but I assumed lollipop would probably be less stable as it recently got released?
Also by stable I meant to say the rom which runs the fastest
I recommend a cyanogen 11 build. 201440719-1623-otter-sgt7
Only because based on what I'm reading you probably don't want to mess with converting partition files to run the otterx builds. Just my opinion since this is your first time around.

I did convert to otterx and installed the slimpop ROM, it seems to lag which was what I had guessed would happen if I went to lollipop, but is it any faster or better on kitkat or jellybean as compared to lollipop?
Thanks
