Fire 7" HD 1st Gen - latest ROM to use for upgrade? - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

I'm a noob with regard to KF development but I'd like to upgrade this KF HD (system 4.0.3 - 7.5.1) and I've downloaded a couple of ROM's but I don't want to brick this thing. It's rooted and I've got TWRP 1.13 installed. I believe this is a first generation HD(?). It's got 16GB, wi-fi, only a front camera AND it has an HDMI port which I think the 2nd gen does not have. Model number is X43Z60, serial number begins with D025. Is this a Ford or Austin device or something else? Will those ROM's be OK? I've downloaded the lineage-14.1 ROMS.
Also - I only use this KF for reading books and for remote control of my TV/cable/audio using the Harmony Hub app (the latest version of which will not install). If I upgrade the ROM will Amazon still be able to download books to it?
OK, DevCheck would not install. It requires a later version of Android. This KFHD in on 4.0.3. I did more research and I think this device is Tate. The latest Android update I can find is cm-12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-tate. I'm not sure how to install this. All the step-by-step instruction I've found rely on tools I cannot install (Flashfire).

Custom Rom question
HI, I have a few HD 7 and hd8's in my possession.
I want to make them user friendly and also set parental controls.
For example, I want the most basic android system with control over which apps can be used or installed.
(Zoom and Gmail)
Every other app would be locked down.
Does such an animal exist?
Thanks in advance.

You don't need a special ROM to get flash. You can get it working by installing Firefox Beta from the play store and side loading Flash player version 11.1.111.5 or above. However, Firefox Beta has force-closed for me while playing videos with flash. So YMMV.
If any more experienced members want to weigh in on this or another method to get flash working, please do.

As long as you side load flash, even stock browser will work. Chrome doesn't though.

It was force closing for me as well but I went into the settings for Firefox and always allowed or enabled the plugin choice and it hasn't crashed since. Now the audio is my problem (lol).

[DISCONTINUED][WIP] Ubuntu touch port

- - - Update - - -
After long time since I've released the last news, I've decided to discontinue this project.
I'm near final high school exams so I don't have the time to dedicate myself on the project and because, after 2+ years, my Nexus S left me with an hardbrick (I've tried applying Unbrickable Mod and replacing the motherboard but no luck).
You can find my last pieces of work on my GitHub account (https://github.com/Matsca09/Ubuntu-Touch-Nexus-S/).
I want to conclude by thanking everyone who tested and used this port and I hope someone else will continue this work to port Ubuntu on this great phone
Thanks again for all,
Matsca09

Hi everyone,
I want to share with you my port of Ubuntu touch for Nexus S.
What works:
Graphics acceleration
Backlight control
Calls (with audio) and SMS
Camera
Wifi
Audio
What doesn't work:
GPS (?, not tested)
3G connection (?, not tested)
Other things maybe
How to install it:
1) Download the base system and the system image from the 'Releases' section of this post.
2) Extract the 'ubuntu' folder from the Ubuntu image zip and copy it into the root of the phone storage.
3) Copy the base system zip into the root of the phone storage.
3) Flash the base system on your phone and reboot.
The TWRP recovery may report an error like "No OS installed" when you reboot/shutdown after flashing the base system: ignore that error.
Releases:
-- 13.10 (stable) --
Suspended​ -- 12.10 (preview release) --
Base system: Download​Ubuntu image: Download​
Enjoy,
Matsca09

Hi everyone,
I want to share with you my port of Ubuntu touch for Nexus S.
For now it's a uncomplete port, most things doesn't work or doesn't work properly.
What works:
Graphics acceleration
Wifi
Calls (but no audio) and SMS
What doesn't work:
Camera
Audio (no sounds at all)
Almost everything xD
The ubuntu image is more like a demo than a preview, most of the apps installed won't work, but it's cool
How to install it:
Download the zip from this post
Unpack it: you'll find 2 zips:
ubuntu.zip -> Contains the Ubuntu touch image
ubuntu-crespo-flash.zip -> Contains the base system
Unpack ubuntu.zip and move the 'ubuntu' folder into the root of sd card
Flash ubuntu-crespo-flash.zip with your recovery
At the beginning it may be a bit slow, but later it'll work smoothly

Its a good thing I did a search because I was just about to post this too. Looks like they already started the daily updates, the 27th just got released. I am assuming its just like the first release and we just flash both zips to install it. Sounds like its not the initial preview that was released the first day so it might be more functional. Who knows, not sure if I want to risk it right now.

I really don't want to make flashable ZIPs every day, but I might as well. I'll make a nightly section today or tomorrow, but I'm really only going to do Maguro for now.

Just wondering, but on the daily downloads page there are zip files similar to the ones that I used to flash when it was first release. Can these be flashed in the same manor? Also notice that one of the them is a zip.md5sum file, assuming that one would need to be renamed to just .zip in order to flash. Not sure, I sent in an email to Ubuntu to clarify because there download instruction page does not talk about the zip files.

They're meant for the Ubuntu phablet-flash as far as I know. You need the IMG file, and that's not exactly flashable in CWM or TWRP right now.

Anyone want to start a thread or wiki who can keep track of changes that people notice. What apps are showing, what works, etc? Maybe a "change log" of changes noticed throughout past week or since the first dailies, if we have enough room. I would do this myself, but do not have the time to backup, flash, document, reload backup, update thread, etc.
But simply if i download quantal-preinstalled-armel+maguro.zip of the day and phablet.zip wouldnt it be enought to flash ubuntu?

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][4.4.4][3.4 Kernel] CyanogenMod 11.0 Nightlies (tenderloin)

It's been requested that I create a new thread for this so as not to clog up @milaq's thread.
As some of you may have seen in flintman's Evervolv and milaq's CM threads, there has been a lot of work on the 3.4 kernel for tenderloin. Its a pretty awesome feat to have this running on our good ol tenderloin. =)
The gratitude for this kernel and build needs to be given to almost anyone but me. (Flemmard, flintman, jcsullins, Dorregaray and everyone that came before me on this device (dalingrin, green, and other's I'm sure that I'm missing)). I've had my tenderloin for quite awhile but never really done much with it until recently.
Anyway, without further ado, I present to you nightlies of CM-11.0 for tenderloin with a 3.4 kernel and -caf based HALs. Basically what this means is we'll be running the latest code from codeaurora on our msm8660 tenderloin.
THERE WILL BE BUGS! This thing is not perfect. It is still in active development.
CURRENT BUGZ (in no particular order):
- Bluetooth steals battery, but DOES work (jcsullins) - also sixaxis app doesn't work =(
- Camera is a bit derpy still, major wip, it takes pictures though (Dorregaray)
- Other stuff? Probably, yea
Destructions: PLEASE READ
1. This is a /data/media rom (relevant). What that means is you should be partitioned with a very small 'media' partition and a very large 'data' partition. The benefit of this is that your /sdcard and /data partitions share the big chunk of your usable space, just like any newer phone does these days. Use TPToolbox to achieve the new partition scheme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756314
2. You'll need a recovery that has both /data/media support and selinux support. Any of the following will work. Flashable via recovery.
-PhilZ Clockworkmod 6.0.4.7 (non-touch)(will backup and restore in both cwm and twrp format)
-Milaq's ClockworkMod 6.0.5.4
-Flintman's TWRP
3. Now you're ready to flash the rom. Downloads here: http://www.invisiblek.org/roms/cm-11.0/tenderloin/
4. Gapps here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
I'd recommend wiping data when coming to this rom or going to a different one (going between milaq's and this should be fine).
These are automatically built on my personal server at home and then uploaded. There may or may not be issues during the build times so don't always expect a fresh build every day. You can follow the automated twitter account here which will spit out a tweet once the build is finished uploading.
Sources:
-Kernel
-Device Tree
-CM Sources (the rest of what's needed)
There are a couple more changes and a couple other repos that are required to build this. Add this stuff to your .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml in order to build this yourself (after syncing the cm source of course)
http://pastebin.com/jKAMWM8T
You'll also need to cherry pick this commit from jcsullins: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54380
Feel free to fork and fix!
Again -
Thanks to everyone that has contributed to making this rom.
Flemmard, flintman, jcsullins, dalingrin, green, milaq, the entire CM team and I'm sure many others.
Good new year present.
Looking forward to when Bluetooth is working. That and the black boxes were the only thing keeping me off KitKat.

I believe Flint said video playback was still a bit broke around that date. I remember loading that build and Diceplayer would crash upon playing a video, but it would only crash back to the home screen (not entirely crash and reboot). I think Flint said he fixed it earlier, so try 20140101 when it comes out.

Replace it so you can use the new CWM to flash this build. I believe /boot is limited to 30mb so trying to keep both may not work.

No clue. I heard of apps disappearing from the Google Home Launcher, but not getting completely removed or preventing apps from being installed. Is that the launcher you're using? Only remedy I heard from that (Milaq's CM11 thread, somewhere around page 40) was to just readd them from the app drawer.
Best advice is to wait for todays build to get uploaded and see what happens.
2. You'll need a recovery that has both /data/media support and selinux support. This clockworkmod will do the trick: http://invisiblek.org/tenderloin/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tenderloin-selinux.img (thanks @milaq)
Push it to /boot/uImage.ClockworkMod
Great ROM far, I loaded the recovery but i named it TWRP instead because it says TWRP in the file name. It ran as TWRP . Is the above just a typo or can I call it either one?

milaq actually has a flashable zip in his thread. that is the easiest. i was on 4.3 went into that recovery, made a backup then flashed the new cwm, rebooted recovery did a full wipe and flashed the rom and gapps and i am up and running. who would have ever thought we would have kitkat on a touchpad. not to mention a 3.x kernel. unreal, thanks for everyones work.

Oops, I had the wrong image there. Link updated with the cwm =P

Anyone else getting a Core Process failure message when booting to the 01012014 Build?
I went back to the 12312013 build and all appears to be back to normal.
To be clear, I went straight to this build from a fresh CM9 image without booting into Android - ever. Got a second-hand device back from a relative, and pushed it to CM11, so it may have been a result of my own process.
I'll reflash 01012014 and see if the error persists.

So am I. Right now I'm using invisiblek's CM 10.2 ROM. It's stable (although a little slow). I don't want to jump to CM 11 again until it is a lot more stable.
BTW, can someone point me to a thread that discusses that benefits of the 3.4 kernel on the Touchpad?

So am I. Right now I'm using invisiblek's CM 10.2 ROM. It's stable (although a little slow). I don't want to jump to CM 11 again until it is a lot more stable.
BTW, can someone point me to a thread that discusses that benefits of the 3.4 kernel on the Touchpad?

IIRC, a long time ago, someone mentioned that there were some benefits of Jelly Bean that we couldn't use because of the version of our kernel we were using. I would assume the same still applies today if that was the case. Also, with CM11, black boxes are present in many apps that prove them to be unusable. The default browser is unusable on CM11 with the old kernel, so you'd have to either use Chrome, or wait for a new kernel. I'm sure there are some performance enhancements as well.
On todays build, video playback still seems to crash to the home screen with Diceplayer (I could of swore Flint said he fixed that in his build at least). I haven't tested Milaq's test build of the 3.0 kernel to see if that's the same case over there.

One more question for invisiblek, will you be making any updates/improvements to CM10.2 or has all development shifted to CM11? The last 10.2 ROM was on 20131209. I'm having issues with the camera not working..

Also, the old kernel was preventing us from having "official" CM builds.
Getting SoD's once I turn the screen off. Tried the old way to fix that by raising the min clock, but that didn't seem to help. Any ideas?

The 3.4 kernel, minimally, resolves an issues with the other CM11 builds where the core/stock apps were experiencing "black boxes" which prevented users from reading mail, using the browser to navigate and some other issues. Right off the bat, the new kernel resolves that issue.

[BLU STUDIO G D790U] Owner's Thread

Hello everyone. I first want to apologize for the intrusion and if you all mind have a mod move this thread.
ROOT:
There are many ways to rooted MediaTek device. Don't bother with towelroot unless you know some strings and Kingo root mobile app doesn't work. I used the newest version of King Root it works fine. I also bought the app supersu me and it flawlessly got rid of all king root and put on supersu. Took less than 10 minutes total. I'm not going to post to have to because they're all one click solutions the phone is very very rootable.
The latest version of Xposed for KitKat works great installs fine and all the modules I've tried which is about 10 all work fine.
I have a Studio G phone and have rooted it and made a Philz Reovery 6 for it.
I want to share and ultimately port a lollipop rom.
I will be updating this thread throught the coming days.
Thanks.
Flash this with the latest version of mobileuncle tools app or RASHR on the phone.

Put on your SDCARD.

Wipe dalvik once again.

Enjoy and Explore.
I just noticed that King User is installed. Must have been in the package. Uninstall it and install SuperSU, OR just use KingUser.
This is a KK 4.4.2 Marshmallow Themed Rom, not by me. I just ported it to our device.
EXPLORE THE HELL out of this ROM please. It seems awesome. I've done no adding to it except in the build.prop to add our phone model info.
It's not done by a long shot.
Enjoy!

K. I know how it was for others. I would be happy to do thee step by if you wish, or others can message me for it. Happy to see some movement here was going to build TWRP, but not so urgent now. Is the Lollipop rom stock from another device or is it a custom rom? Either way thanks for the hard work with a recovery built custom roms are now much more viable for newbs and casual users.
anychance you could post the rom? its been a few days seience you said you would ask the devs of the original rom.

Porting a couple ROMS myself at the moment (CM 12.1, Blisspop, Revolution Remix) to see which works best. Any requests?
cm 12.1 would be cool but any would work thanks you two!!!

The reason I haven't posted my port publicly is because it isn't 100% I can't get the call end button to show up in the dialer lol. I also need to recompile it with the update script corrected. but I'll upload it here if you guys want to take a look at it
thanks nobreak
