Hi all,
I have a question regarding Amazon Fire 7. If I buy it today on Amazon (Fire Tablet with Alexa 7 inch $49.99) and do not power it on at all / do not update the firmware, what Fire OS version/firmware does it come with? Can I install CyanogenMod on it? Thanks!

- root is a prerequisite for installing a custom ROM
- likely 5.3.2.1 or 5.3.3.x which are not rootabl at present
- CM is available but no longer being maintained; best option is Fire Nexus
Thank you, so does that mean a brand new fire tablet bought today is not rootable at all?

Likely, but not a forgone conclusion. Amazon sometimes ships out older stock sporting earlier builds of FireOS (<5.3.2.1) that can still be rooted. Typically those devices automatically update themselves to the latest version of FireOS when powered up - but that behavior can be blocked.
Devices acquired through Amazon Warehouse are more likely to come with an older version of FireOS. Of course, there are no guarantees.
I just bought a fire tablet 16gb ($59.99) yesterday (5/2/17) at best buy and it came with OS ver 5.1.3 which auto updated itself to 5.1.4 only and nothing higher (thank goodness). Was able to downgrade to 5.1.2 and achieve root.
So I guess your just going to have to purchase one and hope it comes with FireOS <5.3.2.1. Good Luck!
First of all this is the difference i got from other thread.
CN - Chinese - Tencent Games Edition
+ Slightly Faster across the system
+ No Facebook Bloat preloaded
+ Minimal Google Bloat
+ No preloaded YouTube - Easier to install YouTube Vanced
+ WiFi is stronger (Detects more networks around you than any other device)
+ Hidden extra ROG Theme
+ Faster OTA (From ROG I History)
- Many apps still have Chinese Fonts and Content
- Dual WiFi gets disabled after reboot
- Chinese Country Name in Contacts App
- Tencent Bloatware in System
WW - International - Republic of Games Edition
+ Everything is in English
+ Gamer Profiles have more function in Armoury Crate
+ Classic Theme option at first boot which allows to select a stock-like Theme
+ More LTE bands supported compared to CN Version
- No Dual WiFi Feature
- Themes are not working
- Minor lag across the system
- Facebook Bloatware in System
- Mobile Manager App shortcut is not available on the launcher.
From what i found so far there is Already a fixed for the theme problem and fingerprint problem on WW. The only problem left is we need to manually update for the system.
I plan to order from ebay, and currently there are 2 type of different version they have. The Original CN Ver and Tencent with Global Rom.
My question is:
1. If i am mainly will be using English as the language, should i buy the CN Rom or Global Rom?
2. If there any problem with the CN Rom for google app, like google pay, banking app, and others that need a non root devices to run?
Please answer my questions and thanks
Google TTS not working on my Fire & updated Android Webview wanted: Lineage or not?!
I've got a Fire 7 (7th gen) and I've successfully installed the Play Store on it and used the Setting Database Editor to disable the lock screen etc, but I'm stymied by not being able to use TTS for some reason and also I apparently need the very latest Android Webview - just wondering what the prevailing wisdom is on what I'd gain by installing Lineage and what I'd lose? I want to use the Fully Kiosk app.
thanks
Am using Redmi k20 pro Indian version. I enabled developer settings by tapping miui version 8 times but after few days, developer settings menu is automatically disappearing from settings. Any solution?
My device is fully stock with Android 10 & miui 11.

Are you running the MIUI security app? One of its default security fixes is to disable developer options. (Maybe the security app is scheduled, I haven't used MIUI for a long time, so can't remember if it can be scheduled to run in the background regularly)
