Hello, I am looking for a stable rom for my 8 y/o daughters Kindle. I was thinking about just unrooting it and letting her just use it that way. But I have a lot of games on my Play account that she will lose. Can you recommend any roms?
You want a stable rom? Well, then I recommend the HorseROM.
But seriously, I like twa_priv's work. Also take a look at the SmoothRom port by Ichigo.

Thank, I will take a look at those. One question are these roms like when you flash roms on your phone? It will get rid of the Amazon UI or OS and when she turns it on it goes directly to the rom I flashed?

yes they are but in tablet form.
new bootloader and as long as she doesnt touch the power button on the first few seconds, she should be fine

Yep, it's the same as when you flash it on your phone.

There is no horserom. You said you wanted a stable rom and horses go in stables. Its a joke

On the official CyanogenMod 10.1 the final 100% stable general release will be being released soon. I'd try that

Hashcode's AOSP 4.2.2 is a great daily driver.
you can't go wrong with CM 10.1.2 stable.
I have the modaco rom on my son's and it's perfect for a kid. Stock rooted kindle amazon os with the Google play store.
I've noticed that the amazon os is much easier for a youngster to get the hang of.

The first two cyanogenmod roms I put on my kindle got stuck in 'setup manager has stopped working' loop. I installed 10.1-20130724-1413-otter-sgt7 and it's as stable as possible. Everything works perfectly. 100% recommended daily driver.

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.

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!

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.
