Most of the Jelly Bean 4.2 ROMs seem to be using phone mode instead of tablet mode, and since our kindle fires don't have volume rockers, I think you might like this app that I've been loving so far.

If you use twa_privs 4.2 rom that has a volume quicksettings tile in it.

Dig around the settings app - especially in the system section, there should be a preference regarding 'panels' or something.

This is the official Kindle Fire Jelly Bean discussion thread (as started by myself in order to stop people from constantly opening new threads about it). If you see a newbie asking about it, direct them to this thread.
Please remember that the most stable ROM for your Kindle Fire is the one that shipped with it and that anything found at XDA should be regarded as WORK IN PROGRESS and will have some if not many issues.
Most frequently asked questions...
How do I get my album art to show up in the new library widget?
The library widget only pulls artwork from albums stored on Google Music itself. You can upload your music via https://play.google.com/music/listen , and add album covers within it so that it shows up on your Kindle.
Google Now doesn't work, how can I revert to the Google Search feature?
Go to Settings > Apps (under the Device section) and clear the data in the Google Search app. Open the Google Search app back up, run through the Google Now setup and click Maybe Later.
How can I connect my Kindle under Jelly Bean using USB Mass Storage?
You can't at the moment, but I suggest using Solid Explorer Beta's ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solid.explorer ) FTP feature as a workaround for now.

If you're using Hashcode's ROM you can force the Tablet UI by changing the DPI to 130. I've seen this question asked quite a few times.
130 dpi makes the UI waaay too small.
?
Almost everything is working great on my KF with 4.1.1, except for Amazon apps. I know some people are having trouble getting the Kindle ereader app to install. I get an error ("Unknowon error code during applicatoin install "-24") when I try to install it from the Play store. I've also tried to install from other locations with no success.
Anybody know how to get it working?
Everithing's ok but
Games from market show black screen on start or freez. How to fix that?
In setting turned on all GPU accelerations. Can this make a problem? Cant check, as moved back to 4.03.
Thx a lot.
Everything was fine until Flash stopped working and the weather app shows no weather info.
Working Now

The first time I booted it was blank the whole time and that came up right before it booted. After rebooting a few times, it seems to work normally.
Just installed Hashcodes rom and it is ultra smooth. Before that I was running MoDaCo's rom and that was great also. Although I like Jelly Bean, I find the look a little boring since I've had Android phones for years already. Since I'm not very creative I figured maybe some people would like to show off some screen shots of their setup.

Yeah, I am one of the few that find vanilla android rather boring. I am not that artistic and so things end up looking odd and mismatched. I have a htc one s, and I love sense. I liked the amazon look so even though there are bugs, I am sporting the amazon launcher.

I actually prefer the new phone-ish UI to the proper-tablet version. I don't use the default launcher though, I use Apex—but keep it portrait-only like the default launcher. I like my screens in a certain way, widgets and all, and it's just a pain in the ass to try to make them work in both modes. Anyways, these are my screens, from leftmost to right. Number 03 is the main homescreen.
Here is mine. It's the same as it was on 4.0

Like the stock rom if the app is in the amazon app store they show up in high res. The only exceptions are kindle fire only editions which don't show up as available from the appstore and I guess they aren't pulled properly from the server. FYI, I used Titanium backup to restore my apps, and even then the high res icon from kindle fire editions do not show up.
Only wish the prime videos could be played on roms other than the stock..

Running Jandycane by Lithium at the moment. Super smooth and stable for everything I need. It's so good in fact, I started using my KF again thanks to the smooth UI

Is jelly bean stable enough for every day use like YouTube works and everything? I want to switch from ics but I feel like i should wait a while for all the bugs to be worked out.

No harm in waiting. I'm in the same situation as you, finally found an ICS ROM that has everything to my liking. I went through 4-5 and found a showstopper issue (for me anyhow) on all of them, then moved on, always reverting to gedeROM 1.7 as my daily driver. Recently tried twa_priv's ICS ROM and it's better for me because I can switch the sides for the notification bar and Netflix sound is loud enough to actually hear. Those were 2 issues that bothered me on gede's ICS ROM. I imagine one of the JB ROMs will be to my liking here shortly but in the meantime I'm perfectly happy with ICS with the SGT7 enhancements.
One thing I took the time to do when I would find myself in TWRP in a flashing frenzy is that I would test the 2-3 backups of previous ROMs to make sure I was comfortable with actually being able to restore versus having a nasty surprise of a bad backup. Later today I'll have my ICS ROM custom configured well enough to call it my new daily driver, run a backup, wipe it and test the latest and greatest JB ROMs from Lithium76 and twa_priv. Once I give them the quick run-through looking for issues I know irritate me in particular, I'll either start working on more testing or revert to the ICS ROM I just backed up. Maybe not the best way to do it but I learn something new everyday and knowledge is a good thing, right?
My dumb question of the day: ICS and JB charging issues... is this global for the Android mod world or is it a Kindle Fire thing only?
Jandycane! Pretty smooth so far.

Only a Kindle Fire thing (that I know of). My other Android devices such as my SII all charge fine on custom ROMs.
I like EyeCandy. I used the cm9 version as well. My second choice would be Jandycane. I like EyeCandy because it is dressed, smooth, and zippy. The most frequent comment I get is, "That's a kindle?"

For me too Eye candy Jelly Bean of pimpmaneaton,
i love it but when you don't like the theme
try the cm10/Jelly Bean off twa_priv it's the same rom but no theme.
Been flashing twa_priv's CM10 Jelly Bean with SGT7 enh...pretty much every day now #notcomplaining
Brilliant piece of work and amazing how twa_priv's keep developing new updates. Coming from Modaco Gr9, this experience is fantastic.
Using Jandycane. Miss some of the mods that were in cm, but that's to be expected considering jb is the new kid on the block.
BTW: No charging issues here other than the usual "no status bar display" common to all.

Hi, I'm getting Nexus 7 on Christmas, and I would like to ask some questions.
How's tablet mode with this tablet?
Any defects which are popular?
Are any game lagging? (I will play a lot I think)
If your on 4.1.2 you can change it to tablet mode or with a custom ROM. Mine has minor screen lift. Don't mind since I have accidental. And gaming is awesome!

There are many people having defects.. but you exchange it untill you get a perfect one LOL
About tablet mode, I just tried it and I don't know which one I like most... I highly reccomend you to hide navigation screens and top bar, so you can get use of your screen at 100% and with gmd gestures you can go back forward recent applications move directly to homescreen etc...
