Android 5.0 Possible? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the Time Hashcode has stopped Support, I wonder if there are any developers to bring the latest android to our device. I cant, just way too busy because of projects, just eating my brain. I am able to rarely log on to xda for the same. Probably @sd_shadow, @lovejoy777 of @FuZZ__ reply? Thanks!

That's true, I'm just basing what I said on seeing Kali- post a picture of it up and running on the T on Google+ and all the mr1-staging patches on gerrit seem to be either specifically for the mint or blue-common. But yeah like you say it's a WIP so no release dates yet

Yea i know it's a WIP and it's just to indicate that it is not fully working ,before they just made a section in the website but this week they have added it to the change log . There's a possibility that they might release a beta version and then update it weekly.

EDIT: Sorry guys, I won't be maintaining this anymore. I really apologize, but there's just too much to do nowadays. I will still maintain my carbon builds. (These boot and work without modification right now, for some reason my slim build won't boot, and I don't really have time to figure out why, because it could be an issue on my side or their side)
The moderators can end this thread if they wish to.

I shall still leave my jellybean build here though.

Are you really the dev of these ROMs? They seem a bit untrustworthy, since you or anyone else hasn't tested them.

He is compiling them. The Kindle fire base and the kernel is developed by Hashcode. Slim, AOKP, and Carbon implementations are all created by their perspective developers. Does that answer your question? Compiling a Rom is just a matter of setting up the proper environment and repositories then letting it rip. Well there`s a bit more to it than that but you get the jist.
Yeah he's exactly right. ^ also, I test the first build to make sure it does work and then I put it out if anyone wants to use it. I am building these myself. I can take screenshots of the builds straight from my computer if you'd like.
I may not be able to maintain all these ROMs, but I'd like to put the options out there. I might have to request for other people to maintain the aokp and slimbean thread if life gets too busy. I was originally only planning on maintaining carbon.. So I will keep going with that.
Thanks for the ports. Slimbean runs well, no real problems or quibbles I've found so far.
36 hours and one full cycle into this one and all is good. Seems SlimBean has settled in nicely on my KF. Thanks androidsftw! Your efforts to bring this variety of ROMs for us is greatly appreciated here!

Actually, it's not rare at all.
Not sure why people are being skittish about using the ROM, I've run it for about a week now and it's rock solid stable! Fast and smooth...definitely one of the best 4.3.1 ROMs out.
Edit; Ive been using a few of the KitKat 4.4 system apks ( Play services, email, GEL Launcher, keyboard...) from here without any issues, making this Rom just that much more awesome. Can't wait for SlimRom to get updated to the new base!

To be honest with you I already have cm 11 and aosp built for the kindle fire. Unfortunately I can't test either until twrp releases a new build with kitkat support. I attempted to build twrp from source.. And it did build.. But let's just say the recovery doesn't work well xD.

AOSB/CRoM/BEANSTALK for find7/7a

Hi there,
I have compiled 3 ROMs for the find7/7a using cm sources. The links are available in my signature. It has already been tested on android-hilfe by a few of my friends as I don't own the device.
Feel free to flash them and let me know your feedback. If all is well, I will create one thread for all 3 ROMs as I maintain too many threads already.
On the other hand, if someone is willing to maintain 3 separate threads, be my guest.
I will be uploading CRoM v7.1 later today. CRoM and BEANSTALK are 4.4.4 builds. AOSB is 4.4.2 which will get updated in a couple of days.
Have fun guys...

Nice!! thx!!
But i have to ask will it support x9077 find 7 QHD? As I have read from Chinese OPPO forum that x9007's rom can not fit x9077
No. Only x9006/9007.

Excellent work mate. I contacted AOSB just yesterday asking for a port - and this is actually the first time I have used it; it looks and behaves a lot like JellyBam. Strange, I wonder if there is any relation?
It will get official recognition with the next build meaning you can use the ota to download future updates, but I will still be building them.

How about a Dirty Unicorn port? Thanks again for your work. I'm loving AOSB

Not yet. I am taking some time off to port miui for the mega. Aosb v1.3.6 will be up today. You will get a ota notification.

The pist I made right after it should have cleared this up but it was not very explanatory. They have not released it yet. See here for gerrit No doubt Chasmodo will just chuck it up on goo.im when it's finished. You could follow Chasmodo on G+ here which will give you gerrit and update posts etc
Not trying to be a PITA, and I know you answered the Find 7 question previously.
I noticed the ROIMS are labeled Find7 vs Find7a. I know that CM has gone to combined nightlies, so I'm wondering if that is trickling through the other ROMs

Will the kindle fire 2 get an Android 5.0 ROM?

Does anyone think this will happen? I'm hoping someone makes one for our device.
The CM team are working on CM 12, but no word yet on if it's coming for the KF2.

I don't know why you would want to bring this thread back up. As of now it's completely useless. I posted that before there was even a 5.0 ROM for the KF2.. You responding was not needed at all.

Anyone out there working on CM12 or Lollipop AOSP?

The first gen and HD Kindle have people active on the 5.0 development, just wondering if power user here is working on a 2nd gen rom for us.
Wrong section to post.
Sent from my PAC'ed Amazon Tate using Tapatalk
No, I think he posted in the right section. And no I don't think anyone is working on a 5.0 ROM sorry, no one really builds for the Otter2 (KindleFire2) anymore but me and I rarely do that. Since Hashcode moved on to work for Linaro we are pretty much dead in the water, sorry bud.
Ok, thanks man. Do you think it would be too much work to port Hashcode's Kindle 1st gen ROM to the 2nd gen?

Well... Porting is not possible.
I have a first gen. What hashcode did was he made a new partition layout, bpotloader, and recovery for it, which made it COMPLETELY different from Amazon's device. So hiss 5.0 for pur device is OtterX. Anyways, ROMs can't be ported between two devices anymore. So unless hashcode is working for it, its done.

Porting between the two has never gone well..can I try and make a 5.0 ROM yes. Its been one of those things I've been meaning to do just haven't gotten around to doing yet.
I hear ya, what can we do, if you guys ever come up with something I'll gladly give it a try
Thanks!

Please, please do this.
hashcode pushed all the changes for compiling 5.0 to github, just a matter of making a few changes in otter2 device tree. I will compile it today and see what needs to be done. Don't expect too much because cm-12.0 is still alpha.
Update
cm-12.0 uses an android partition layout, hashcode uses a different bootloader and twrp for OtterX. Unless someone can make cm-12.0 work on Amazon partition layout we won't get it.
Could the otterx stuff be ported over?

I have been looking at the tuna partitions and they use the same layout as amazon so could be done. Using the otter cm-12.0 repositories it won't compile so I'll compare it with cm-11.0 and try again.

The otter-common and omap4-common has cm-12.0 updates, just not the otter2 device repository. So far I haven't been able to compile otter2, going to keep working on it. But today I will be upgrading to Fedora 21.
