Hello,
I recently resurrected my old Kindle Fire HD 8 (6th Gen) running Fire OS 5.3.6.4. I really have no idea what to do with this thing. The stock OS is slow as snot and doesn't have much functionality. Would love to get a custom rom running (if that's available) or at a minimum a custom launcher. Any suggestions / tips on what's possible?

Hi All,
I bought my A500 from US. But i am using this tablet in India. I noticed that Acer is rolling out updates for Gen1 builds much faster when compared with Gen2. Please suggest if i can change my Rom build from (Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2) to latest build for Gen1 (Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1). Can i just simply download the latest Rom for Gen1 from here and apply this using recovery mode (Power down + vol - ).
Any suggestions are welcome. Also i won't be rooting the tablet. And are there any complications involved in the process above. I am relatively new to android OS.
Many thanks,
Nitin

The GEN is the region for the ROM only, so there is no problem running a different GEN than you currently have on your ROM. I'm in the States, and currently running a GEN 1 rooted stock 3.2 ROM.
thanks bro....I changed my Rom to gen1
I am currently playing "Order & Chaos (kindle fire edition)". It has resolution matching the KF. The question is, will I still be able to play it with CM7 or other custom ROM?

Hey all,
I just got an Fire HD 8 on black Friday and am wondering if there is any custom rom for it? I do not want to use Fire OS and want to see if I can root and install a custom ROM. I notice on another forum that there is a custom ROM for Fire tablets, but I am not sure if that will work for the HD 8. Hopefully there is something that can be done for this tablet.
Hope something can be done. Please let me know if this is possible.
No root or custom roms on the new 8 HD yet it seems Hopefully soon!
I just setup my tablet fresh again by installing the latest firmware, 5.6.1.0, though recovery mode for my HD 8 2016 Gen. What's the preferred method for replacing the Amazon launcher with a different one?
