So theres not ANY other custom rom for ariel? Im not sure how roms work, but is there a way to get stock android? It would probably need to be ported, but there should be other custom roms out there, since the cyanogenmod rom has a lot of issues, like not being able to use the cameras or netflix.
Most stable firmware
Anyone please suggest most stable firmware for amazon fire tab 7 .

Discussion about the Google Sheet
Fire OS 5.3.1.0 was the last rootable version for all Fires,
except the HD 10.
Do not attempt to downgrade. - 7th Oct 2018
Fire OS 5.3.1.0 can be rooted but not rolled back.

5.1.4, 5.1.3 and 5.1.2.1 cannot be rooted (31 May 2016)
but both can be downgraded to 5.1.2 (see restore firmware with stock recovery)
5.1.2 can be rooted by Kingroot
Kingroot thread KingRoot thread
then see rootjunky's supersume video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O3DcpeS_Ic
or manually install supersu with a terminal emulator
http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
Word of caution: do NOT reboot after running SuperSume; device will soft brick. Immediately start FlashFire and proceed with rom install. This condition does not apply when using Root Junky's approach/tool to replace KingUser with SuperSU. Also note SuperSU is a prerequisite for using FlashFire on FireOS.

Internal USB port
I'm thinking the internal USB was likely an aborted attempt to add NFC functionality the this thing. I'm wanting to build a case to add 2 external USB host ports without adding more than a half an inch or so to the depth. This should also let me add a secondary battery to the unit. If the internal usb is device only I might be able to bring that out and just use it for charging and connecting to my PC.

There is already one in the Rootjunky downloads folder on their site but thanks anyway. Also that section is intended for firmwares that are to be flash in stock recovery.

Well it is hosted on a weird website, but this is the direct link that the phone OTA software (fota, which is known to be terrible) use (captured with Wireshark). It can easily be verified.
It seems the real manufacturer of the phone is "tinno" http://www.tinno.com/En/Profile/Index.html and lot of the internal apps / update files use mirrors on http://www.jstinno.com too.

Okay then.
Also does anybody happen to have/know where the OTA files for the non-prime version are?

I don't but I would love to see it to be able to compare both versions.
Do we know if someone tried to restore a non-prime nand backup over a prime version?

Anxiously waiting.... this will be my first Android ROM replacement.
Updated the original ad removal post with TWRP install files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67892852&postcount=567 link on the index still valid.
This updated method remove the need of wiping the data and will remove all ads, even the one currently displayed on the lock screen.
Root or exposed are not required (only TWRP obviously) so it won't affect the device security.
I created 2 scripts, one to clean everything, the other one leave the Underground app store in the system.
If you use it a lot, it's nice as it will update the apps automatically without the need of allowing unknown sources.
OTA are disabled by renaming the updater. Safer than the previous method (pm disable and pm hide), and safer than deleting if we need it later.
This FW version kind of flew under my radar and probably yours too. This update came out almost a month ago and it's only for the 7th gen. remember when fire os 5.3.6.4 came out and everyone was calling it 5.6.1.0. well, that's because Amazon messes it up between their web site and what it says on the tablet. well, guess what, they did it again. (facepalm)
here is what it says on the website:
what it says on tablet:
at this point, we shud just call it by its build date.
I think the only thing that changed is Alexa got updated and there is a video that plays at setup about Alexa.
update
they almost got it right.
here is part of the build.prop

Let's do a thread similar to 4k. Please contribute the cloudfront links you have for other versions. Sharing is caring!
Let me seed a few links, the 2 very early ones are extracted by me, some are from this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fire-tv-stick-2-tank-prerooted-stock-images-5-2-7-3_r1.3912271/ ). Here is a rough guide for which is which for the early versions:

I could not chase the official link to this one ... Amazon does not send it in a sequence of updates. I am using a cloned Version 5.2.4.2 (Build 574263220) of my purchased Fire stick, it's nice and lightweight. It needs a new com.amazon.venezia.apk though, otherwise the apps don't show up properly in the official Fire launcher.
