[Q] Does any ROM do all these things for KF - Kindle Fire General

I'm ready to settle down. Sleeping around with different ROMs. On AOKP right now, but seems like not much action or attention given to the KF.
I'm wondering if there is a ROM out there that does the following that I can settle down with:
Has a custom kernel that does O/C, U/C, O/V and U/V.
Volume slider in notification area (AOKP doesn't)
MTP USB mounting in Windows working (AOKP doesn't unless you disable USB Debugging)
Everything works, market applications, good wifi connectivity
Shutdown mods on menu
Nav bar working
Facebook sync
Theme manager
Lots of toggles in notification area
Good lockscreen options
No FC's
Thanks in advance

You can give my rom a go, it has most of the features you listed, just wait about 30 minutes for the updated version to finish uploading then download that.

Thanks, but I'm sort of tired of trying ROM's and then finding out that this and that don't work.
What doesn't work in yours?
Does anyone use a ROM that all that stuff works?

Have you tried gedeROM? I think it has most of that covered, a couple I'm unsure about but it's easy enough to backup your current setup and try it out.

I really do appreciate all these recommendations, but everyone is saying it does most of these things. Is there any ROM that does it all? I just read today that AOKP has stopped support for the KF (Otter they call it). So a lot of AOKP people will need a new ROM that will be developed.
Let me narrow down my list a bit so maybe we can get some specific answers:
Kernel that does overclocking and underclocking
No charging problems, and charge light works
Volume slider in notification area (AOKP doesn't)
MTP USB mounting in Windows working (AOKP doesn't unless you disable USB Debugging)
Shutdown mods on menu
Lots of toggles in notification area
Anyone have a ROM for the KF that includes all the above working?

Some of the things you listed are problems at a kernel level and you won't find any ICS ROM that has all that. You might want to consider a Gingerbread ROM.

^ That. I recommend Gederom.

Gederom has all that. I don't think it over/undervolts though. Everything else works.

I tried BAMF RC4 and was a great ROM with a lot of features but was having bugs and issues pop up in just one day of use. Decided to try this ROM as i was really liking Sense 3.0 and WOW...may not have all the mods of BAMF but sleek and smooth and runs like a champ
the only thing i was curious about is there a flash available to disable wake with volume buttons?
since this is based on BAMF will the disable volume wake zip available there work as well?
thanks to anyone who can help!!
and big thanks for the incredible ROM

Superb update. 7.8.11 is fantastic. Came from 7.4.11 and I could care less about the transparent notifications. This ROM is buttery smooth and I'm happy with how you've themed it. I've always liked blue and this is just icing on the cake.
No hiccups. No FCs (except for some apps I went in and deleted but that was expected). I've always been a fan of ONDEMAND but I took your advice and rolled with smartass and things have been working great. 368-1.2 and its running LIKE A BOSS.
Keep up the good work friend.
Ya, came from bamf rc4, and love how smooth everything is in this, just need a zip for single sliding app drawer, pages slow me down
This rom looks great... I'm going to give this a whirl on my day off this week.

Thanks for the fix. What about the percentage for the battery? Is it not on this one? Or is there a setting that needs to be messed with?
Thanks again
OK, so I've been running this ROM since the day it came out and I completely love it. The theme is fantastic, the battery life is amazing, and it's pretty darn smooth. Even though it's tough to find fault with the build, I will offer up the few issues/requests I've experienced over the last week or so (prioritized).
1. I can't install different kernels. I've tried Ziggy and Imoseyon(sp?)'s latest, and each hangs after the HTC screen.
2. I get FC's on D7 Reader and Dolphin Browser. They're few and far between, so it's only a minor inconvinence. Plus, I have no way to confirm it's ROM related.
3. There's a slight overlap in the header of the Mail.apk (where it says All Messages). Obviously very minor.
4. I'd like to see a flashable zip to disable the volume rocker wake; I know most like it but I use Widgetlocker so it just wreaks havok in my pocket.
5. Would like battery percentage and removal of GPS icon.
6. Can we add some ability to modify the quick settings? I personally don't use Power Efficiency and would like Brightness Level and Flashlight integrated.
7. 7 in 1 and 4 in 1 Power and Reboot menus.
8. Every now and then Exchange has issues syncing. It repeats syncing over and over until I reboot. It's only happened a couple times, and may HTC's issue, not the ROM's.
Like I said, I love this ROM and can't see a reason to leave it (unless someone gets data working on ICS). The above list is just some personal desires. Notice that I haven't said anything is broken or sluggish or ugly. Again, this ROM is great and I'd recommend it to anyone. Thanks for all the great work fkfmfz, I'll be donating shortly...

*Edit - Well, I've tried flashing 6.2.1 multiple times and it won't take. It runs through the scripts in TWP, but the About Phone still lists the stock kernel. Oh well, it runs fine as-is.

[Q] Whats the most stable CM Rom for Nexus 7 (and does it fix wifi issues)

Basically as the title says, i don't want to go bricking my Nexus 7 so i am wondering what the most stable CM nightly release is at the moment.
Also i have a problem with my wifi where it constantly gets random disconnects for a few seconds, can't even leave an irc client running overnight without waking up in the morning and it's disconnected, yet my phone can do it fine. Just wondering if any CM roms improve the wifi stability
Go into settings tap where it says WiFi (yes you can tap it) it will bring you into the menu of all the visible networks around you. Tap the menu button and go into advanced. Find where it says Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep. Make sure it says "Always"
And just about every CM10 ROM is stable. I would personally recommend Team EOS as it is Stock android built with very minor tweaks that they build themselves not cherry picks (i dont think anyways). Its as stable as it gets with similar customizations. And there isnt a bunch only the useful ones.

Help needed: Looking for a rom

Hey All,
I'm looking for a rom and having trouble figuring out which one will best suit my needs. Typically, I would just download a bunch of roms and try them out, but I'm stuck in China with a low data ceiling on a very slow connection for the foreseeable future. I really need to be like 80% sure before I download.
I've been running CleanRom since the summer, and that has been a great experience, but CleanRom is no longer being developed, so I'm no longer up to date.
I want something with integrated tablet mode, and I would like something with a volume slider in the notification tray. Wifi toggle switch would also be ideal (I prefer not to use apps for these features). Aside from those features, I just need the most stable rom possible. Additional customization isn't necessary. In fact, pure stock outside of the features I listed would be great. And I'm obviously not looking for nightly builds. I want something to throw on here and leave on until the next Android update.
Does anyone know a rom that meets this criteria? If you have suggestions, I would love to hear them, and then I'll go read some threads.
I really appreciate the help.

You want a solid rom? Team EOS is going to be your best bet. Very minimal isnt loaded with a bunch of crap you wont use. Has its own toggles however are kind of an eyesore IMO. You could just use an app to do the same thing i recommend "Extended Controls" Its a dollar.. but well worth it. LOL reread your OP oops.. :S
Also if you have the pull down.. and swipe in the middle to either the right or the left.. it will swap the Date and clock to a volume slider on the left and a brightness slider on the right .
The only problem I've had with this rom is the oft mentioned error about invalid glazed 2.0 init.. and it's more of a minor nuisance than anything. Functionality does not seem to have a problem, and I'm sure the message has something to do with Glazed being based on a CM nightly.. a bad integer table entry perhaps. Either way, my overall experience has been great with this setup.. buttery fast, and buttery smooth.

Post your custom ROM experiences

I figured I would start a thread since I couldn't find one devoted to posting our personal experiences with ROMs for our Kindles.
I have tried 3 separate roms out thus far.
CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.2)
This was my first dive into custom roms for my first gen Kindle Fire, and it was a pretty easy transition. Really enjoyed freeing up the device by not having to have the stock Kindle firmware. Apps ran far more quickly and smoothly. After using this for a while I yearned for something faster/smoother. (probably need to get myself a higher powered device to improve on that). Somewhat missed the lack of an Amazon Video app. It's too bad Amazon has not yet developed an app for other Android devices that we can install. A minor issue (with all roms) seems to be the boot animation. It starts out stretched and in the upper right region of the screen at first and then corrects itself maybe 10 seconds later and is centered. Not a big deal of course. The only drawback for me personally with this one is CM's lack of customization.
JB 4.3 Barebones
I had read that JB 4.3 ran a bit quicker (and used more battery) than 4.2.2. I found this to be the case. Especially when using an app like Flipboard this is apparent. The boot time seemed to be a bit longer than CM 10.1, but that could very well be my perception. I did find that the build I was on seemed to give me issues on restarts. I'd restart and icons would be missing and the icon themes I was using with Apex would have to be reset. Mild annoyance that I didn't enjoy dealing with. Overall I was mildly satisfied and preferred CM 10.1 to the specific (early) JB 4.3 that I was using, despite the fact that CM ran slower.
AOKP (JB 4.2.2)
Just installed this one tonight. Coming into this, I was already a big fan of AOKP 4.2.2 as its my daily driver on my Droid Razr M. Love AOKPs customization. Anything beyond AOKP level customization is overkill for my taste. AOKP just has everything I'd need in that department. I did notice that I feel like I'm back to CM 10.1 speed which I may or may not settle on. A minor issue I found was the screen rotation glitch (which I have heard is found in few different ROMs.) It's nothing too major, but it may be enough of a nuisance to get me to switch in the future. We'll see. I do prefer AOKP 4.2.2 over CM 10.1 strictly due to AOKPs level of customization. If you are simply looking for a ROM beyond stock and not necessarily looking for great options and customization, I'd say go with CM 10.1 (If you don't have your heart set on JB 4.3, that is). But my personal favorite of the 3 would have to be AOKP. I have not used this long enough to properly test the battery life compared to CM 10.1.
I hope this helps any noobs like me who are giving flashing roms a thought. Would love to hear what you all are finding for the best speed and battery life. I'll post any updates for roms that I try in the future.
Summary:
Best Battery - CM 10.1
Best Speed - JB 4.3 Barebones
Best Customization - AOKP 4.2.2

I'll check it out thanks! How does battery life compare with the others you've tried? I'll take speed over battery life at this point though. So definitely giving it a shot, thanks!
The battery life is around the same as official CM10.1. The battery lasts a whole day with moderate to heavy usage. Performance is about the same too

Thanks for starting this thread! I've been trying find a jelly bean rom that doesn't suffer from low memory app crashes. Like when the browser just quits suddenly and drops you to the home screen.

Well just as you mention it, BAM! That's exactly what I'm experiencing now with AOKP 4.3. Lots of browser crashes and keyboard issues where it will not pop up. Rom is still a decent bit quick, but I may be looking to downgrade from JB 4.3 to something that won't have minor issues such as browser crashing. Need a good daily driver with good speed and battery life. AOKP 4.2.2 didn't have the browser crashing.

Basic question, but have you done a weekly wipe of cache and dalvik cache in recovery? May be worth a shot if it took a month for errors. I always do a cache and dalvik cache wipe once a week on my phone. Seems to keep it running smoothly.
I am also running CM 10.1 now. Really like it so far. Smoothest running rom I've tried for the Kindle.

I've had my kf for about 3 months and while i haven't flashed them all i have flashed lots of them.
Unfortunately, i haven't found any rom either with or without gapps that have the low memory/ram issue.
I have done lots of searching an just plain tinkering with everything from freezing everything possible in stock roms to only having 2 user apps installed, i.e. dolphin browser and adobe flash player.
The only thing i really want to do is to be able to let my grandson and nefews/nieces watch cartoons on the net, and maybe some simple type kids games. (This way they have their own and dont mess with mine lol)
The games I've found and installed and they work fine, but the memory on this thing is just not capable of even rudimentary multitasking.
Its a damn shame too, because just an extra 50 - 100 mb of ram would make the difference.
Wish i knew how to dev a kernel id look at the big memory kernels on the gnex and see if he same principles could be applied.

I have done lots of searching an just plain tinkering with everything from freezing everything possible in stock roms to only having 2 user apps installed, i.e. dolphin browser and adobe flash player.
The only thing i really want to do is to be able to let my grandson and nefews/nieces watch cartoons on the net, and maybe some simple type kids games. (This way they have their own and dont mess with mine lol)
The games I've found and installed and they work fine, but the memory on this thing is just not capable of even rudimentary multitasking.
Its a damn shame too, because just an extra 50 - 100 mb of ram would make the difference.
Wish i knew how to dev a kernel id look at the big memory kernels on the gnex and see if he same principles could be applied.

I'm not sure if anybody is going to get us a 4.4 rom, but isn't 4.4 supposed to address low ram devices specifically? If so, this may help us out.

Basic question, but have you done a weekly wipe of cache and dalvik cache in recovery? May be worth a shot if it took a month for errors. I always do a cache and dalvik cache wipe once a week on my phone. Seems to keep it running smoothly.
I am also running CM 10.1 now. Really like it so far. Smoothest running rom I've tried for the Kindle.

No problem! Hope it does the trick for ya. I'm using TWRP and it's fairly easy in that.

Interesting. Going to try giving that one a shot then! Haven't yet found the daily driver. Do you have a link to that version you're running?

I found it in the link below in the op. Unfortunately it wasn't as stable as I remembered and I moved on to the latest cm M release. Pretty good so far, but I doubt it fully solves any problems mentioned.

Hey thanks again!
I activated halo by mistake but am not able to deactivate it. I went around the while settings panel, but couldn't find an option.
Any ideas

Ok I'm quickly tiring of my Kindle running unbearably slow at the benefit of battery life. Which Rom, any version of android, works the best on the Kindle Fire? I'm talking smooth. I'm running 4.3.1 CM 10.2 and I just can't do it anymore. If I have to downgrade to an earlier version of Android I will. I just need faster. I've got a Nexus 10 ordered, but keeping this and want it at it's best. So what's the fastest?
Here is a thanks for speeding up my rom...
Hashcodes cm 11 (deadly amount of free RAM)

I tested all the three rooms, all well.
Make sure you have the latest twrp 2.6.3.1 or you will be bricked.
Good luck
