[Q] Photoshop Touch and my Kindle Fire 1st Ed

Hello everyone!
I'm an average avid photographer that owns a kindle fire 1st gen. Its been collecting some dust for quite sometime but now that I have been taking more and more pictures with my Galaxy made me wonder if I could add some photo editing tools that I could use quickly on the fly. So I discovered Photoshop Touch ! It seems to fit my needs quite nicely but when I sideloaded it to my kindle it just kept crashing.
Now that I know it doesnt function properly on the KF1st gen because of the OS that came in with the kindle made me want to try to root and flash a diferent rom on it to see if I can use photoshop on it.
So my goals are the following for this device:
1. Photo Editing
2. Light Reading
3. Web Surfing
4. Listening to music
What would be the most effective way to achieve this ?
What would be the best rom for this tasks in that particular order?
Is there a way I can dual boot the stock rom and the custom rom so I can use it for 2,3,4 and boot the custom one for just photo editing ?
Thanks in advance for reading my post and for any help,tips or insights on how to achieve this.

You cannot dual boot stock and a custom ROM, but you can dual boot GR9 Modaco ALT and a custom ROM. GR9 Modaco ALT is basically stock with root. Photoshop Touch will work on Jellybean.

Android 4.1.x and later & CM10 and later are all Jellybean. Your best bet is to install a normal jellybean ROM and use Gr8 alt-ROM (MoDaCo) for the alternate boot.

Did you flash the ROM zip and then gapps zip in twrp? If you did, you might try a clean install again.

Yeah I didnt notice there was an app right there on the tablet.
I didnt dual boot because I discovered that the Hellfire was good enough and I was able to achieve everything and it really flies. I regret not doing it sooner.

4.3 ROMs?

What ROMs are okay to flash if you have the Knox bootloader. Im so confused about this Knox thing. Ive read if it doesnt change your bootloader you will be fine and others saying i have to wait for a stok mk3 .tar (i do believe thats the right one) file to be available. one dev posted a rooted 4.3 rom and he said this wont mess with the bootloader. im just nervous dont want to brick my phone. someone please help and shed some light on this confusing situation

This should be Q and A section, and Cnexus posted a FAQ about this in general section....

I'm running the cm11/kitkat experimental build and I have the new knox bootloader, the rom requires some tweaking, I will post it soon if the original dev doesnt incorporate my fixes.

If you want a simple answer, then here it is: you can flash any rom you want.
Only one catch: do not EVER Odin a full stock tar with version < MK3 to your device or you will instantly brick.

Thank you. First answer I've been able to understand. Just stay away from Odin and .tar files. About to flash your ROM so I can have root and from what I've been reading pretty good battery life as well. Thanks for your work man.

I've been running it with ART and I haven't had it reboot on me yet. I think once I was doing something with the camera gallery and the camera 'broke" and required a restart but I can't remember if that was when I was playing with cm10.2 or cm11.

well if this is the case than how did you get CM11 working? did you just download and flash from the OP if so can you share the link with me. And what is ART?

The original ROM checks for "know" baseband versions to make sure you dont try flashing the ROM on the wrong device. I had to unpack the ROM, add support for the new baseband and then repack the ROM inorder to get it to install. I also change he kernel cmdline to set SELinux to permissive mode by default (like it was in 4.3). I will post the tweaked ROM shortly.

Can't install a custom recovery on V50020d!

I've tried every method, but nothing seems to be working for me!
Can someone post a video or a very specific step by step guide with download links and all?
I am on version 4.4.2 (V50020d) and have access to both a PC and a Mac.
I can work with either TWRP or CWM, doesn't matter. I just need a custom recovery!
Thanks to all in advance!

You can follow step 3 from [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267]this[/HTML] thread. This is vor the V50020a, but you'll have to edit the runme.bat like the guy over [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53587417&postcount=2]here[/HTML] did. That's what worked for me at least.
I was in the same boat, but after some searching, I've finally managed to flash TWRP on the V50020d. I can confirm this method is working

Can you link me to a good lollipop ROM that'll work on this. Don't wanna risk messing anything else up haha xD

I didn't test them myself yet. I've only had this tablet for a few days and I'm pretty satisfied with the stock ROM at the moment ?
However, I did notice that CyanogenMod officially supports this device and that there are CM 12 nightlies on their site, so maybe you should try those.

Yup, that's what I went with! You should give it a try (Unless there are certain features that you like on stock ROM)
Lollipop runs super smooth on this thing! Seems to be just as smooth as on my OnePlus One. Now I just need to find a way to make the colors on the Gpad look less warm. The whites looks extremely yellow compared to my OPO

There are some kernels around here with the gamma fix. I've flashed one for stock ROM and that fixed the colors. There's probably one for CM 12 too.
About stock ROM, I really like this knock-on feature and the QuickRemote app. Those are some really handy features. There are also other features I like about it, but those are the most important. I'll probably flash CM12 somewhere in the future

Hey guys, I followed your guides and edited the bat. file so that it would flash and then reboot the tablet. The trouble is when I try to reboot into recovery it just gives me the error "secure booting error. cause: boot certification verify". I'm also on 4.4.2 rooted (towelroot) on 20D stock so it is really frustrating that I can't get it to work!

LG Quick Remote APK for Optimus G Pro custom Lollipop 5.0.2?

Could someone please clearly explain how to install LG Quick Remote or any other stock app for that matter on a custom ROM running Lollipop.
I've browsed so many forums and people say different things and there's no coherency.
Please let us know how you did it, only if you have actually done it. Most LGQRemote.zip files don't work when flashed from recovery.
Regards

Tried this many times my friend. Unless we get help from a more experienced developer it is not going to happen. Earlier this year I went nuts trying to figure this out. Never did manage to get it done unfortunately.

Every QRemote zip outthere for this phone is for Kitkat or Jellybean, and that's the main reason why it's not working on Lollipop. I don't know if someone got those from other QRemote supported devices which got LP update and tried, but last one I saw working properly was madmack's zip.
I could try to make a flashable LP zip as soon as my exams finish (in a 3-4 weeks) and I find fully working ROM for LP (in progress, my ISP is going nuts) I could build and maybe support, because right now, my E988 is on Kitkat since CM doesn't want to accept existing patch for modem, and available versions are too old and buggy.

Does it mean that the remote app on the F240 running stock lollipop does not work on custom lollipop ROMs?

I don't know before I try, I'll have to download a F240 LP KDZ and extract it...

Not much, managed to get app started somehow but it won't work, crashes no matter which option I select. I'll see what I can do, so far I've managed to find needed framework files... now to find the rest. First time porting from stock so may take some time...
