Can anyone port SmoothRom for the Kindle Fire HD 7? Now I already figured it may not be possible as someone would've provably already done it, but I decided to try it myself using the instructions in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008
STATUS: FAIL. And I used Hashcode's CM10.1 and SmoothRom 5.2 for Nexus 7 by jamesst20. Don't know if its a sin, if it is I apologize, I wanted it for my personal use, I'm not a developer, more of a "trial and error fixer" and I gave it a shot before asking. I loved that ROM when I had my Nexus 7 as it was so lag free and ran...well...smooth. If anyone has any info at all whether its possible, whether there's any takers to the project or even if its impossible, I'm all ears, and it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hmm I don't know much about making a full ROM, but it might have something to do with the fact smoothrom is aokp based, and cm is aosp based. Then again we do have some aokp ROMs for kfhd, they built theirs from the source code though rather than the method in your link, if I remember right that is.. Hmmm...
Edit:After re-reading that tut it seems it also works on ROMs that are AOKP so idk. Maybe try basing it from a aokp ROM. This is really a bit more beyond me than I thought at first.

Thanks for the info. Do you know of any links to AOKP based ROMs for the KFHD7? I always used AOKP on my previous tablets etc and was looking for any AOKP based ROM for this device when I first planned on tossing in a custom ROM but I only got as far as CM10.1, CM10.2, MIUI port, and PAC ROM. So if you know any AOKP based ROMs links I would really appreciate it.
EDIT: Looked around, found nothing but this thread that never went anywhere.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285306&page=2
So I'm assuming 100% there are no AOKP based ROMs. If I knew how to compile a ROM, I'd do it. SmoothRom 5.2 was made for the Nexus 7 (well at least the one I was using) and the Nexus 7 and KFHD7 are nearly identical in a sense for example screen size, etc. So I know there must be even the slightest possibility.
This is aokp based...: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355103, or at least it says it is, because its a mix of paranoid android and aokp and cm10.1 if I remember right, has some of the setting that aokp has if I remember right. I haven't ever used aokp or pac-man ROM, I prefer closer to stock, so maybe I misunderstand if that ROM is aokp based.

Well it does have AOKP but Im more than sure it started with CM10 when it was being compiled. I just know that nobody has made an AOKP based rom for no reason, there must be some story behind why its been left out of the mix. I've switched to using ROM-PORTER-v3.6, and its more successful than that guide I mentioned as I actually made the ROM flashable ONLY when using stock Amazon OS as the base and then SmoothRom as the port. Flashes fine, boot image works, but its a total boot loop, so I must be getting closer. I also tried adding certain extra files mentioned in the guide I mentioned, but them it causes the ROM to fail the flash. Then I realized that the build.prop is still as it was on the Nexus 7 and if im not mistaking the thread i got the tool from did mention editing that. So I must give it a try. Maybe thatll solve the case?
Why do I find it funny your are converting the stock ROM to a custom aokp ROM... On the bright side it would maybe work in a similar manner to kinology where you still have amazon video access and such. Fix the build.prop and it might work idk, I'm sure if anything it would help, just make sure if you are replacing it without flashing it that u chmod it to 644.
If I had to take a wild guess at why there isn't a stock aokp ROM or any others, it would be because the lack of devs, not to say we have a lack in the sense we are producing ROMs, but I think hashcode laid out the groundwork for most of the other devs, but because it was a aosp base I guess it was more likely to attract aosp devs, because it seems like less work to me if you are staying at aosp. Not to mention technically the cm builds are still beta last I checked, maybe we might get some other aokp and aosp devs once it goes official. For instance I don't believe I have seen a stock aosp android os for kindle fire HD yet. Most of the above is speculation, just thought I'd mention that before someone says I have no idea what I'm talking about. xD

Believe me I know that I'm just juggling ROMs here with the possibility of being far off track and getting nowhere. Really dont kmow what I'm doimg at all. Just experimemting with trial and error to see if I make it somewhere. Even though I read that the base must be the same type as the port (AOKP to AOKP, CM to CM, etc) and that these certain things must be completely changed if not, etc etc, it doesnt hurt to try. No one else wants to do it, no one else has some info, then I must do as the saying goes: "if you want something done right, do it yourself." I have no clue how to create a AOKP rom out of thin air since theres really no AOKP based KFHD7 roms out there, so why not experiment with any other? My latest bigquestion is if AOKP is CM based in a way or two, how is it that the two combined isn't working out?

Er...you may be in the wrong forum...
I have found the CM9 nightly to be the most stable for playing games. I've tried the CM10 and others but as soon as I launch a online game, the TP will generally freeze up.
I play a game called "Tanked" which is online and a great tank killing game against other players. Lots of fun...great graphics, and addicting.
If someone has a suggestion as to a more stable, yet fast rom for this type of gaming, please indicate which you use. I will try and load it up and give you a quick review of stability vs the cm9.
Thanks

Same here. My kids love playing games and I have problem with the T-pad crashing on CM10. I've tried every CM10 ROM available. Each has it's own unique advantanges, but hate seeing Tp constantly crash to mboot.
After rolling back to CM9 nightly, I am not longer having this problem. It's not as smooth as CM10, but kids are happy.
Thanks the Dev for trying to port JB. Hope they continue to get things fully straighten out.
Best roms
This One
cm-9-20130203-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip
Bug free?
Mic works
Camera works
I'm surprised there aren't more posts in this thread..BUT...
I go from CM9 nightly to nightly and they seem to be the best. Very smooth and non-problematic (for the most part).
I use unofficial cm10 03/08. Works great for me.
I would like to try different ROMs, but I can't seem to find one as stable as CM, any ideas?

You may use RandomROM OR Schizoid OR AOKPCM10REMIX_DEC_0412.
These are all the most stable that I have tried
I am using CDMoncrieff 's CM10.1, AOSP version. It's good enough that I'll be using it as my daily driver. I don't use Bluetooth (as far as I know, it's the only thing not working), so that doesn't affect me.

Hello, I just decided to put Android on my touchpad, but I don't know which ROM to go with first. I just want something with the best features available while being stable, I don't know if I should go with CM9 or CM10 since from what I see the CM10 ROM's seem to be more buggy? As-well as which Android version, since the latest is 4.2.2 but it still seems to be in its early stages of development.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the answer, I flashed it on my touchpad, however I noticed that flash is really buggy on CM10, it just gives me some horizontal lines, and when I full screen it theres only like a 10% chance of it working, since most of the time its just a black screen or it just flickers over and over and freezes, sometimes its even crashed my touchpad. Would it be best to go to a CM9 rom, or is there some work-around for this problem?
Dear XDA community,
I have the HTC Desire C sold on this day to me about it to buy an iPod Touch. This means the end for the development of FirezoneMOD for Desire C!
As a MOD based on the Kindle firmware would be interesting, but I unfortunately can not develop, but I hope you can do it.
Important information about FirezoneMOD:
-In the early versions it was based on CM of cute_prince, later the complete Kindle source code should be used!
-As solid components integrated the official Kindle Fire should stock apps!
You get the stock apps below:

Try poirting kindle fire stock 4.1.2 rom
this will be a gud base.
but keep in mind porting here will be difficult as you will have to find some libs . required for certain apps to work properly
For now, I'll use CM10 of cute_prince, later you can try to port the stock ROM on Kindle Fire.
I think what you mean is, instead of CM10 to use as a base AOSP ROM (original Nexus).
What do you think?
What should I use as a base?
1.AOSP
2.Cyanogenmod
3.Kindle Fire Stock ROM
desire c cm 10
port stock rom
can you provide some screen shots?? even from other devices... for us to see what is azone mod...
I'm going to install Ubuntu today so that I can continue programming AzoneMod!
Screenshots will also follow!
AzoneMOD, however renamed in FirezoneMOD!
Unfortunately I can not currently post in the Android development forum, even embed an external link, because the account is too new! As soon as I am released, there will be a post in the Android development forum!
I will release the first alpha of the ROM today so you can test this!
However, there will be significant problems with the representation and the speed! Please note also that the phone function and any other SIM options are not currently supported by the ROM (since the Kindle Fire has no phone option!)
Many things are better shown when the phone is held in landscape mode! Many of the integrated apps crash, do not start or run unstable.
The first version of FirezoneMOD still based on CyanogenMod of cute_prince, but is planned later switch to AOSP ROM or the floor of the Kindle Fire!
You can download the first build you expected at 18:00!
As a hoster will come mega.co.nz used because in this moment the fastest Hoster. Should anyone dare not mega.co.nz, he can also take over a dh.st link the file! (I know d-h.st is slow!)
Please note that the Kindle Fire is a high-end device, unlike the Desire C. Therefore, the ROM does not run nearly as smooth as on the Kindle Fire. I'll try not to increase the speed!

Hi everyone,
I recently installed android on my friend's Touch Pad. Which ROM do you recommend as the most stable/usable ROM? (While being new and hopefully rather current as - like Android 4.1 or 4.2). My friend is definitely not familiar with flashing or anything like that, but she knows how to use android. As I will be moving out of the state at the end of this week, I want to leave her with a good ROM that will be nice and stable and easy for her to use. What do you all suggest? Thanks!
Tough one just have to flash them all and test I would go for cm10 night lies because they'll constantly update it and all you have to do is go into settings and update it.

Thanks, I'm trying a couple. I had a 4.2.2 mashup of CM, AOKP, and PA. It was a bit buggy, and probably too confusing for my friend. She does really like the PIE controls though so I'm trying to get a stable one with those. If not I'll just go for the CM10 nightlies probably. Thank you sir!
for me, the most stable roms are the standard CM9 nightlies.
they benchmark higher than any of the 4.2.2 builds, and has working bluetooth and no UI issues as noted on the CM10 and CM10.1 builds.
every few weeks I backup my HP touchpad and install some of the latest roms and always come back to CM9. it just works better, and best of all, it has a better UI (while the tablet UI mod helps with CM10 and 10.1, it does not fix all of the issues. and for CM10.1 there is no 120dpi so you are stuck with everything being oversized for the screen
while with cm9 all you need is the CWM flashable 120dpi patch which still works with the latest nightly builds and takes care of any market place issues.
Overall for everyday use, CM9 is still the way to go.
I attached the 120dpi patch that I use. It only works on CM9

If you are on CM10 and the 120dpi is too small, to undo it flash the 160dpi file
the CWM dpi patches are the only ones that have worked for me, I have tried android 4.1 and 4.2 and the only recommendations for adjusting the dpi is using apps from the market place and all of the recommended ones for me have not worked, most causes the rom to not boot fully.
The main thing holding me back from going to anything higher than CM9, is the lack of stable bluetooth support, the new android 4.1+ UI that is just a more screen space wasting version of the cellphone UI (not tablet optimized at all), and the issue with no 120DPI mod working with it.
Have been using CM9 for a long time with no complaints other than battery life. I think there may be some kernels that are better, but I like when the battery runs out and my kids have to put it down. A timer of sorts. I have not found a combination that can compare to WebOS for battery life. But, Android has all the latest stuff now for the kids, so, Android it is. I still use WebOS, though, when I can.
CM10.1 nightlies by milaq have been very stable for me. I experienced random crashing of the default browser in CM9 nightlies but none in CM10.1.
Obviously the missing Bluetooth in CM10.1 may be an issue for some but I haven't really used BT for anything.

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.

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.

I hate to ask, but I'm still new to XDA and I'm still having a bit of trouble navigating. Would you post a link to where I can find CM10.1? Specifically the one meant for our KFTT? Thanks.

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.

Well CM11 is out and still no OTG support for Kindle Fire HD. I sure wish that I could get this to work. I just don't know where to start.
New member here. I have the same problem -- KFHD7, CM11, no OTG. Did you ever figure this out?
Thanks.
