ROM for kindle fire non-otter-x - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that I'm pretty late to the party here but I decided to pull out my old fire that I haven't used in god only knows how long and wanted to see if I could make it into something actually useful. I have already rooted it and have firefirefire and twrp installed but I cannot find a non otter-x rom to download and install. Does anyone know if there are any still around? All the links I've tried in the index thread appear to be dead.
Thanks

You are the man shadow! Btw, thanks, your videos are the only reason I got as far as I did. They were super helpful.
If I could ask one more favor, is there a particular build I should use from the list? Worse comes to worse, I'll try a couple and if I don't like them or they don't work I'll just restore back.
Also, do you know if the gapps are included in the builds?
Thanks again

Gapps are not included should be some working links in http://goo.gl/VrNwpV

So it looks like all the cyanogenmod download links are dead, "wayback machine has not archived that URL" on all of them.
Same thing with all the links on your Gapps page. I could be doing something wrong but I doubt it.
Thanks anyway.

I was able to find and download cm-11 ((android 4.4-4.4.4 (kitkat)) on cyanogenmodroms.com but when I try to install it using twrp, I get error flashing zip. I've attached a screen shot. Any idea if I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks

Does it matter if the file is "zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.0.1-recovery-f2fs.zip" if I'm not going to change to otter-x?

Well, I saw your reply about 5 minutes too late and I installed the otter-x twrp...
So after probably coming super close to bricking the fire and going in completely the wrong order, I somehow managed to get the otter-x bootloader, cm11 otter-x rom and gapps installed and the thing actually works! It seems to be a bit slow but I guess that's because it's a 10 year old tablet...
Anyway, thanks for all your help. All of your posts and videos are the only reason I was able to give this old fire a new life. I really appreciate all you've done.

Got fed up with how slow and laggy cm11 was so I switched over to slimkat and basically the same result. Did I do something wrong or is this normal? Is there any way to improve the speed and functionality because as it is right now, I can't really use it for anything.
Thanks

Websockets?

Is there anyway to get a web browser onto the kindle that has the capability to handle web-sockets?
I don't care if i have to root the device and install new OS system - would like to keep the Android setup if possible?
Thanks much!

I assume you're using stock, since you weren't clear about that part. You may have to get gapps to get it from the Play Store, unless you're able to sideload it.

Ok - correct me if i'm wrong here...
My android Kindle fire OS is likely 2.3.4 which is the GAPPS package I should download. It seems that goo.im is down - is there any other place to get this package?
Also do I need to root my kindle first as you are correct I'm using a stock version.
Thanks!

It's working just fine for me. If you're still unable to connect to it, I can just reupload the gapps you need to a filehost.

Problem trying to go back to stock

So I bought a used kindle that had been previously rooted and running TWRP and FFF. Stuff keeps force closing so I wanted to revert to stock to start "fresh" and root myself. Followed the guide here and Tomsgt123's youtube tutorial but I keep getting an error message when trying to flash the update.zip file. Here's a pic of the log can someone help me please?

Im not sure but i think twrp version 2.5.0.0 is unstable so i would suggest reflashing and older version through adb or twrp somehow. It may solve your problem

Thanks Kfire21. That tutorial didn't work but it did help me figure out what was going on from others who posted issues there.
You're correct twrp 2.5 for some reason will not flash the stock zip. So what i had to do was install the other recovery option in KFU, COMR or something like that can't remember the name at the moment but it's the option below TWRP in KFU. Worked like a charm. Hope this helps jmtems

Did you guys rename the Update file?

N1 CM Version - Root/O-Click issues

Hey there. Recently ordered myself an N1. Love it. got the CM Edition as I was going to use CM anyway, but a couple of issues have arisen.
Firstly, O-Click doesn't seem to work with CM, is that known and is there a fix?
And secondly, I have purchased a few root apps on the play store, but I can't seem to root the N1 with the APK Exploit that was posted here. Is there any known way to root the device?
Also, is it safe to flash CM11 on the CM recovery?
Cheers for any help!

Are you talking about PhilZ?
I haven't tried it, and I doubt that I will. I know that TWRP runs very well on just about everything that I've thrown at it with the N1 so far. If you try that recovery out, please post your findings in that thread so others know what to expect.

No, i don't mean PhilZ. I ordered the CM limited Edition version of the N1, which came with a CyanogenMod recovery rather than Oppo's recovery. (Use volume buttons to navigate) It's not a touch recovery. Which is the main reason I wish to install TWRP, but I understand you need to root for that?
As for the o-click, is there any fix? Yes CM may have fixed it but not on the OTA update :/
Edit: I accidentally selected 'Reboot into Bootloader' rather than the recovery, and now my device is stuck on the "###fastboot..." screen. (Replace ### with 3 Chinese letters that I don't know ) I have no idea what to do. No buttons seem to do anything. :/
Edit2: Fixed by holding VolUp + Power
You can fastboot flash twrp, then flash supersu.zip for root. If it still doesn't work you need to go into cm settings and turn off the cm root preference so it accepts the supersu app

I tried flashing supersu with the CM recovery but it failed to flash. It's it due to the recovery or something else? Also, is there a tutorial of how to flash with fast boot somewhere? Cheers for the help guys! Really appreciate it!
Edit: nevermind, used some common sense and the search feature Installed TWRP no problem

OFFICIAL CM12.1 Released.

Nightly changelog: http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/hltetmo
Recommended: If you're on anything 4.4.x (KitKat) you can/should follow this easy method to get to the official 5.x (Lollipop). Then you can start fresh by wiping/factory resetting phone and formatting it through recovery, and then install CM12.1 and Gapps (and SuperSU is wanted). You can leave out the SD card fix since CM has it built in, and you'll be overwriting the OS anyway.

Happened to me too. I had to flash Philz recovery first. Seems to only work on CWM. This is the one I used that worked: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/philz_touch_6.48.4-hlte.zip

EDIT - You'll also need LP gapps I'm thinking. https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/gapps?dl=gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip

Yes, it does. I have tried it, it did not work.
I noticed Misc is high on the battery list. It doesn't seem to be affecting the actual performance, but I looked into it, and it seems it's a known bug in LP. I just flashed today's nightly, so let's see what happens. Great ROM overall. Especially for the first release.
EDIT: Disregard, there's simply a "Preferred network type" option under cellular network settings. (should look around more before I post.....)
Everything seems to be going well enough so far, but I seem to not be getting LTE, only HSPA+ and 3G, is anyone else having this issue? Is there some setting somewhere where I would need to change preferences on this?

What exactly do you get? I just checked, and got the "checking for updates... no updates found", so for me it's working. I'm running today's nightly already, so it won't find any new one yet. I'll try it tomorrow morning.

If I understand correctly this would be useful if you add this as secondary ROM and use it with keyboard mouse and monitor like normal OS.

Hello, does nobody have a working Phoenix OS? Just make a TWRP backup and upload it. It will help everyone without a working USB port.
I would do it but it takes me 24 hours to download
I'm trying to download it. But it is downloading at 6kb/sec. Says it will take 19 hours. But constantly fails. I wish someone mirrored it. I am curious anyone else who downloaded, was it slow for you?

It was slow for me for a few hours. Then all of us sudden as I reached about 35%, the speed boosted to 2MB/s and it just finished downloading. Now I gotta upload a twrp backup right? I'm not sure how though

Yeah I got it slowly using 'wget' which does resume downloads. But I tried the x86/PC not arm/flo. The OS is not open-sourced and the English version still has components in Chinese. I prefer the original http://www.android-x86.org/ for PCs.

After installing the ROM, go to TWRP. Select backup, and choose system, boot and data. The backup file will be located at TWRP/BACKUPS. Upload this file. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubt.

But you could dual boot the way I did. First I install Phoenix. Then I install multirom. Then I install Pure Nexus as secondary ROM. The problem is, if I upload backup, I signed up with Google and other accounts on it
