[Q] Just rooted my Kindle Fire, questions about the ROMs

I am completely new to rooting and flashing custom ROMs, but I wanted to get more out of my 1st gen Kindle Fire. After studying the excellent guide done by kinfauns, I have rooted and flashed the CM10.1 RC2. Then I wondered what is the difference from the ROM I downloaded on CM's website vs the ones on this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859851. A lot of them are still CM10.1. So what exactly is the difference between the CM10.1 on this list and the release candidates and nightly's on CyanogenMod?

[Q] What is a stable ROM I can use?

I think the lasted ROM that was installed was back in Oct. 2012. I am just looking for something newer and more stable at the moment. Can someone point me to the right thread to find it. I am not really familiar with the latest ROMs for Kindle as this device isn't mine. Thanks!

Cm 11 nightly is stable. Make sure to have nothing below twrp 2.6.3.1 before flashing.

Possibly fixed Gapps on Kindle Fire 4.3 r_2.1 rom from Hashcode
JJsevol said:
I never fully solved it and only thing that worked was disable Google services. Some apps require it so it's not a good solution.

Hi All,
I cannot post in the regular forum because I am new.
I flashed the 4.3 rom and gapps to my Kindle Fire per the instructions in the post. I had a problem with gapps continually crashing. I tried reflashing from post #4 that had the r2 version of the 4.3 rom. The link on this post lead me to a page with numerous choices for gapps. The one I downloaded made it worse. I could not get passed the setup wizard because the setup wizard kept crashing. Could not even get to the home screen. I re-flashed the 4.3 r_2 one more time without flashing the gapps and the Kindle Fire booted fine. But without Google Play, the thing is kind of useless because I could not download any apps.
I took a chance and searched Google for ASOP 4.3 gapps. I found this site, but I cannot post links. Hopefully you can find it. www*androidayos*com/2013/10/30/gapps-4-3-1-download/ I flashed this set of gapps and have not had a problem since yesterday. All the gapps have updated to the latest and greatest and I have not had a single crash from them. I new so I'm not sure if this was the fix, but it might be worth a try for someone that has continually crashing gapps on their Kindle Fire with Hashcodes 4.3 rom. I hope this will help someone, it seemed to work for me. Good luck, I like this rom allot better then CM rom I was running that was laggy.

Most stable kindle fire ROM?

Hi everyone,
I recently got an old kindle fire 1st gen from someone and want to install a custom rom on it, I have rooted it installed custom recovery but I want to know what's the most stable ROM(other then stock) for it regardless of how old or new it is or it's version of android.
Thanks,

What version of Android are you looking for? Or are you perhaps interested in other OSs? I suggest checking out @sd_shadow's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859851 thread.
Choosing a thread you are interested in and reading at least the last several pages of it to see if anyone has reported problems is a good place to start. If you are up for @Hashcode's OtterX partition conversion, I've found the latest versions of all the OtterX KitKat and Lollipop ROMs to be stable.

Thanks for replying, I have seen several threads but still feel confused, I recently got a used first gen kindle from someone and want to flash a custom rom so it's more like an android tablet as I don't like the kindle interface and features :/, wanted to ask based on user experience which rom has soo far been the most stable lollipop or kitkat or jellybean would be fine, but I assumed lollipop would probably be less stable as it recently got released?
Also by stable I meant to say the rom which runs the fastest

I recommend a cyanogen 11 build. 201440719-1623-otter-sgt7
Only because based on what I'm reading you probably don't want to mess with converting partition files to run the otterx builds. Just my opinion since this is your first time around.

I did convert to otterx and installed the slimpop ROM, it seems to lag which was what I had guessed would happen if I went to lollipop, but is it any faster or better on kitkat or jellybean as compared to lollipop?
Thanks

[Q] Is there a Honecomb ROM for the OTTER?

So basically I'm looking for a Honeycomb ROM or even a Look-Alike for the Amazon Kindle Fire otter (1st gen) and that works with TWRP and FFF 1.4a BL. I know Android never gave the source code of Honeycomb out until ICS or JB, but is it possible to have a port now that the code is available?
Also I currently use CM11, is there even a complete CM11 theme of Honeycomb?
