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

I am completely new to rooting and flashing custom ROMs, but I wanted to get more out of my 1st gen Kindle Fire. After studying the excellent guide done by kinfauns, I have rooted and flashed the CM10.1 RC2. Then I wondered what is the difference from the ROM I downloaded on CM's website vs the ones on this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859851. A lot of them are still CM10.1. So what exactly is the difference between the CM10.1 on this list and the release candidates and nightly's on CyanogenMod?
I've been trying to use the newer Android roms, but there isn't enough ram on any of these for me to do the things I need to do. So I was looking on Thepooch's Kindle Fire Development index and I noticed the four CM7 roms there. Now out of those four (since they are the most recently updated), which one would you recommend?

Yeah I've decided to take the testing into my own hands. So far I've tested Sblood's CM7 Source and Hellfire. Hellfire is admittedly less stable and I can't delete any of the gapps (Hangouts, Google Search, etc.) without the Google Services Framework constantly force closing. But I am able to OC to 1200 and the CM7 Source only lets you OC to 1008. I'm testing Barebones by the end of the week.
Edit: I found two more roms by smirkis:
CM7 Kang

I could use some help with testing if anyone (or you) are interested

I don't know. I use COTR and I haven't touched TWRP for over a year. I don't see why it wouldn't though since it's a recovery. I tested all of the first four and so far I like Hellfire the best. I'll test the other two by the end of the week if there hasn't been a fix for CM11.

I decided I won't try the two by smirkis because you cannot dual boot them. I'm running Kitkang with Barebones as my alt. boot now and I'm quite happy with it
Use COTR instead of TWRP.
Best rom threads are not allowed.Try them for your self and decide which one suits your needs best.
Thank you and thread closed.
Hi guys, need your help. I am coming over from the iPhone. Just ordered a used S3 for my first Android phone and very excited.
It should arrive this week and I would like to have it rooted. I would like to also install the latest stable Cyanogenmod release for this phone. Is it 10.2?
I have never rooted a phone or loaded any roms. I am having trouble finding the CM rom that's the latest most stable one. I just see a bunch of different names and have no clue which one I need. Can you guys recommend something?
Can someone point me in the right direction? I would like something quick, good battery life, and good for a daily driver. I saw a youtube video that showed Cyanogenmod as most closest to stock and very stable.
I would really appreciate your help. thanks in advance

That's a one-stop shop for S3, rooting and flashing custom recovery. Check that thread and follow the instructions there. You need to root your phone first and then flash a custom recovery like TWRP, before you can flash Custom ROM's like CM 10.2
Yes CM 10.2 is the latest version of CM with Android 4.3. CM 11 with 4.4 Kitkat is also in for S3, but dont expect it to be stable.
Also, release that there are lots of ROM's based on CM source, so they should work fine too. There are other very good custom ROM's like Carbon, Paranoid Android etc which offer unique features, while there are hybrid ROM's that combine features from all these. You need to try different ones to see what works best for you.
Also, refer to this video and others from that channel.

I suggest you take time to read, then take time to try all the roms here, as they are all good.
As we do not encourage arguments over which rom is best or is "most stable" I am going to close this thread, please take time to read what is being offered in the development areas, and welcome to android phones.
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

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.
