I just rooted my Kindle Fire, and like to install a stock jellybean rom. I looked at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765288
which says
Download 4.1.2_r1 ROM here [10-10]

PLUS YOU WILL NEED TO FLASH GAPPS AFTER
Jelly Bean Gapps here

However when I go to the links I see newer versions of the ROM.
I assume I should download jb-4.2-kfire-hashcode-12-18.zip, but which Gapps do I need?
Do I want the one for CyanogenMod 10.1.x 4.2.1? I assume so, but I'm a bit nervous to just do it ....
I know this is really a noob questions, but that's what I am!

It all depends on which fire you have..7" or 8.9". The 7" is still in the process of being developed to run CM10, there are devs running it but it is not stable. I believe they have accomplished running CM10 on the KF2 and the 8.9" but if you have the 7" there is no additional ROMS

Hmmm, my fire is a 7" (at least the size of the screen is 7" measured diagonally). I ended up installing the most recent ROM from that link and also the most recent gaaps, and it seemed to work decently.
However I did notice one weird thing (perhaps a coincidence) soon after. All my gmail got marked as read as soon as it arrived. I found there was an entry in my google 2-factor permissions called Android Login V1, noticed by others too. I'd post a link, but as a new member, I'm not permitted to do it. I'm not saying this is anything bad, but it was a weird coincidence. I zapped it, and also my stock Android Login Service from my phone. Now it's ok, but made me a bit nervous.
I'd be interested to hear from other KF 7" owners on which ROM they are using!

So, I think you are on the wrong forum, this is for HD units...
The Kindle Fire 2 has, since a few days, the CyanogenMod 10 ROM running... but, as I said, this forum is for Kindle Fire HD units so I recommend you to open a new thread on the "Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting" thread.

please, any help -
Try reinstalling the drivers for the MTP device in then device manager. I think this usually happens when coming from stock and going to another ROM.

Great - i'll try that.
Also though, im finding that there are a lot of crashes. and its actually preventing me from opening apps like, GAPPS, facebook etc etc.
Do you know of a stable ROM for KFHD7???
thank again
I run cm 10.1 with a tablet patch I made for the latest cm 10.1, I'm avoiding cm 10.2 for a few more months before I switch to it, I heard there's small performance issues because of some files not being optimized, as well as people in the market having to update their apps to work with the new is, as well as some fstrim things that need a little more investigating before I use it. I mean I am pretty sure most people are using it instead of cm 10.1 now, but I personally want to wait a bit.
Idk about your crashes but it could just be a bad flash or you used the wrong gapps package. I am not too familiar with the ROM you are using, since I haven't ever used it. The way I look at it is usually the closer you are to stock the less bulky the os would be, least that's how a PC operating system would work sorta. Don't know if the same holds true for android.

What build of CM10.1 are you using and what build of GAPPS?
I'll try in staling those and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks again!
I'm using the 8/12 build of cm 10.1 and if u click the link in my SIG for the tablet patch I directly linked the correct gapps zip in that post.

Please help. I have done a through search of the forums and found nothing on the subject. (Any search including "otg" returns results for "ota" updates.) The ability to use a flash drive as a kind of external hard drive was a MAJOR reason I rooted and installed a non-stock os. I have a Kindle Fire HD running twrp, cm10.2 and hashcode's 3.0.50+ kernel. I have tried both the "stickdrive" and "USB OTG Helper" apps with no luck. I was told in another thread that some ROMs will support USB OTG mounting but when I asked which ones I didn't get a response.
Thank you in advance.
Last I heard hashcode hasn't enabled otg in his kernel yet, and I think all ROMs use his kernel except stock amazon and kinology. You should wait for some other people to verify what I said first though because I am not 100% sure on this.

What is "kinology"? I'd be willing to try it out and update as to the results if I knew where to download it.
Its in the android development section, but it uses the same kernel as stock amazon os, its basically Amazon's os, but modded.

I tried both of the apps I mentioned before I rooted/modded my KFHD with no luck. So, do I just need to wait till KitKat and CM11 come out?
Or just wait until hashcode gets otg working. I think he was going to work on otg after all the other bugs and such are worked out. Seems like waiting for cm 11 to have otg would take longer than waiting for the current version, because I'm guessing the new version will have a new kernel so some things will have to be redone, and bugs introduced. Personally I'm just hoping by the time the next android release is out we can still use a buggy flashplayer... Don't even get me started on that....

Forgive me, why would one want to introduce bugs into a system?, and what is a "buggy" flash player? I thought bugs were glitches. Do you mean exploits?
Also, why do you use CM10.1? Is it more stable than CM10.2?
Eh well you don't want to introduce bugs into a system it just tends to happen when making something new while ironing the new problems out. That's why official releases of an os have these things fixed first usually before final release, though we tend to use alpha and beta ROMs a lot because some of us would rather have a buggy os than a amazon os. Not that hashcode's cm is that buggy anymore, he's worked out almost all the bugs I think. As for the buggy flash player, adobe stopped development a while back for flash player in ice cream sandwich, because they said html5 would be the future, even though so much of the net uses flash... Anyways the last flash player for ICS is kinda buggy on jellybean OS's, mainly because it wasn't designed for it, and some web browsers won't let u use the last version of flash because its buggy, like dolphin unless you download the modded version of the browser I found on the forums. One of the bugs I noticed is if I tap around in a video player too much it crashes the web browser. So no not exploits, just code that needs rewriting but will never happen since flash players is closed source. Ah as for me using cm 10.1, I just want to wait a few months until I'm sure that the apps in the market have stabilized, among other things, because some apps were having problems after the changes made in the new release caused certain apps to not work correctly. There's also a few other reasons like I heard about some of the libraries for the new version aren't optimized yet for our processor, and that there was a nasty bug with fstrim that could potentially hard brick our kindle by corrupting the emmc beyond repair. The bug that could do that isn't confirmed in the kindle fire HD, but it is said to affect the specific emmc that the kindle fire HD has. So yea there are a few things I'm waiting on before making the switch. Not to mention I'm happy with my os as-is right now.

If you want, try the tablet ui patch in my signature for the latest cm 10.1, I haven't had much feedback on it. It also contains the same link I just posted.

So... I would use the "Latest"? And how would I go about implementing your tablet ui?
Sorry to keep bugging you. I feel like I'm being a bother.
The instructions are on the link in my SIG, u basically flash the file I attached after u flash cm and gapps, and yea use the latest.

First off, there are no modifications available (besides rooting) for the newer Kindle Fire HD. Secondly, you posted in the wrong section. You should have posted under the 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A section.

nope, we haven't been able to crack the bootloader on the 2013 kindle fire hd, no custom roms available for it, sorry.
So I just got my Kindle Fire HD 2012 32 GB from Amazon.
Before I install CM11, I have a few small questions...
1. I really like the Dolby HD sound feature/improvement. Is this still usable/enabled within CM11 (or a similar alternative)?
2. I have firmware 7.4.9. Can I get any trouble using the install tutorial from the CyanogenMod wiki?
3. I read somewhere that CM11 runs slow on the KFHD compared T9 FireOS. Is this true?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: just fyi, yes I have a fastboot/recovery cable.

I would downgrade the os to a earlier version as I have seen issues with people rooting the latest os. I also believe cm 11 is if anything faster than amazon os. I recommend it, I have used it myself for over a year and have no complaints.
Dolby is a bit iffy, I think hashcode tried to do some work on it but I don't remember how far it went because its closed source. I just use viper4android with cm 11 and its probably better than Dolby enhancements.

Thank you, you have fully answered my question about CM11!
About CM12 though... Well, I... I want to use something official. Something that passed their procedures.
I've noticed the unofficial CM12 in that sub forum, so I thought maybe fire HDs official CM12.1 would be compatible.
Do you know what would happen if I'll install that build? Do they use completely different hardware? Would I brick my fire?
Thank you!

Don't be concerned about the "unofficial" verbiage. Likely a formality. As you are new to the forums (at least this one) know @ggow has a strong reputation for releasing quality roms across a variety of devices. They are straight up variants from credible sources with only minimal customizations required for device compatibility.
Not going to touch the question about flashing a HD rom.

thank you, indeed I am new to the whole ROM scene. I suppose you're right, it just that well... it's a matter of principle/habbit/ policy/comfort... If there's only one source who he alone controls your most sensitive areas and no one knows what goes on there...

A "risk" (cough) one assumes messing with a rooted device. Reputation matters. Do your homework before acting. If it keeps you up at night stick to stock.
