Hello all, I have just finished getting my Kindle Fire HD 6 to 5.01 rooted with GAPPS. Although I'm quite satisfied with my success, I'm still wondering if there has been any developement in any of the following categories:
Unlocked Bootloaders
Custom ROMs
Cyanogenmod for the Kindle Fire HD 6/7 4th Generation
And if there is any progress being made to any of the above[/SIZE]
YES I dug around for a while and didn't find anything
YES I saw the sticky-ed post declaring "Development is over"; but I am wondering if there are any 3rd parties still working out there
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

The website for it is cyanogenmod . org (I can't post links yet)
It's called a custom ROM, but it's pretty much an operating system to replace what you currently have. It's based on Android but has a lot of added and tweaked features. I'm sure you could find a video review of all it's features if you search for it on youtube. Or you can go to the wiki (link on the website)

cyanogenmod is open source project
cm team release provide official cm support to the device like stock
but there are also unofficial cm available
Cyanogenmod is Android. However, Cyanogenmod (CM) is a modified version, adding performamce tweaks, visual tweaks, and other personalizations for ease of use.

Hey guys!
I haven't rooted or messed with any of my Android devices in a long while, so I'm a bit rusty.
After searching and skimming through countless threads, I still have no idea whether I qualify to unlock my bootloader nor how to actually go about this process.
I would DEEPLY appreciate any help given!

Hi - welcome to the HDX forums. The options available and difficulty implementing them are dependent on the version of fire OS currently installed on your HDX. Bounce back with that and someone will likely guide you to the appropriate thread(s).
Keep in mind Kindles are not like most Android devices. It's easy to create a nonrecoverable brick flashing the wrong stuff.
I am currently running 4.5.3.
I understand the risks, and I'm willing to do anything in order to unlock this amazing device.

Your options at 4.5.3 are constrained. At present there is no reliable method to unlock the bootloader or install an alternate recovery (eg: TWRP). If you have the 7" model (13/Thor) you can roll back to a previous version of Fire OS (13.3.2.8 based on Jelly Bean), upgrade to 4.5.2 then root, block OTA, install gaps, etc. Or you can stay at 13.3.2.8, install Safestrap and the excellent Nexus Rom (based on JB 4.2). You may see references to earlier Fire OS builds, TWRP, CM 11/12, etc. Unfortunately, those options are currently unavailable given you are starting at 4.5.3.
I don't believe rolling back to 3.2.8 is an option on newer 8.9" models (14/Apollo) and few reports suggest Amazon won't do it either (preferring to replace the device with a reconditioned model that may come with a lower firmware level that can be more easily exploited). That said, things are changing rapidly. Check back frequently!
If you have the the 7" model start here. READ, READ, READ before attempting anything! Ask questions along the way. Recovery is difficult/impossible if you make a mistake. Tools/techniques you may have used (eg: fastboot cable) simply don't work on the HDX. Good Luck!
Hello. I currently have a unlocked bootloader Kindle Fire HDX 7" with Cyanogenmod 11. I been looking into all that "hardware" stuff, and I was wondering if there is a way to overclock this device. I did seen some weird Cyanogenmod 11 kernel, but I'm not sure if that works. And if it doesn't, what can I do to overclock it then?
Thanks.

You can't without a different kernel. All the custom roms for this device use the same kernel with possible exception to CM13 (believe that still uses v4 kernel) .
Given observed thermals with all cores maxed out you probably wouldn't have much head room of unlocked. Big jump in SoC temps stepping through upper frequencies; geometric curve.
Will the Lineage OS work for my Nook Tablet?
If not, does anyone know how to help me since I can no longer get hold of the CM 11 I was planning to try on it?
Thanks for any help, feedback, direction, denise

There is a functionally comparable Android 7.1 AOSP build for the Nook Tablet ("acclaim") at https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3480156918 compiled by XDA developer amaces (see the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/marshmallow-nook-hd-hd-t3239269 for discussion for his builds for the Nook HD/HD+). You can message ("PM") him directly and ask his acclaim build would work for the NT 8GB.

For anyone who is seeing this thread, I should have let you know before this, but I am trying to install the CM 11 on my Nook Tablet. Been working at this a few days or so, but I have some wonderful help from people at this forum I am learning to dig deeper on my own, and I am learning a lot. Really happy to be part of the forums, and thanks to the people that make it happen, Denise
It's been awhile since I wanted to "root" my Kindle Fire, I even bought another for another good deal on amazon, same with a few upgrade but still, not Google PlayStore which is all I chose to have.
I admit to being a little confused at anyone thinking I know a lot about these kind of things, but I can tell you the last time I did this, follow the directions I'll attach, My Kindle has total access to Google Playstore and that's what I truly wanted. If you want the same here are the directions I followed, and I mean I had to follow them perfectly for it to work.
If this is info you already know, just disregard. The one thing I realized had to be just right, was the order in which you add the files, also, you pic the right file for your Kind Fire OS. Any questions I will help if I can Denise
How to Geek is my fave, he spells it out, word for word, no video:
Install Google Playstore on Kindle Fire
If this isn't what you needed, please forgive the misunderstanding. I changed my mind totally about "rooting" my Kindle Fire 7" Denise
Ive been rooting and tinkering with various different android phones for years now . Motorola has always been my favourite when it comes to rooting . Now my question is now what? I would love to finally pitch in on development starting with this device seeing as there is very little on this one as far as custom roms and what not. This device reminds me of the G7 Power with the A/B format. I was looking in on possibly bringing Ubuntu Touch to this device and as far as i can tell I just would need to make a halium kernal for it . Can someone maybe help me or tell me how incan possibly help on makimg that happen? Please bare with me . This is my very first time posting on this website . Im very savy when it comes to the android, ios and computers in general , Im running the stock rom and have done very little besides install some root apps. I would love to help out with any kind of development so please someone let me know . Ill be regularly checking my notifications and messages . Cheers!
I'm not a programmer, but I'd love to have LineageOS on my device. I haven't had the opportunity to play with Ubuntu Touch, but I assume that the F-droid store alone surpasses the app development for the Ubuntu Touch. Have fun!
Im suprised more people arent all over this device like when the G7 came out ....this device is awesome and the battery life alone is enough reason to want to buy it ...Guanma FTW!!

What i found appealing about Ubuntu Touch is i recently read that you can now run android apps on it and i totally agree Lineage would be awesome and an obvious first step to take with this device now that we know it can be rooted...also TWRP development is a must
So far I'm really happy with it. The only thing is with how big it is, people with smaller/weaker hands are going to have a tough time. Good to know about Ubuntu Touch supporting android apps!
I too just got a G Play (2021), after spending the past 8 yrs. with my beloved HTC Ones (m7,m9). Ironically, it was Motorola that I left for HTC. I've been somewhat impressed with this phone's performance in stock bloat (I mean stock TRIM). I came in here today not expecting to see much, if anything, on this phone; but I've found enough info to get me started.
TY XDA, for all your hard work.
