[ROM-AOSP] Stock Jelly Bean 4.2.2_r1 for the Kindle Fire 2 [02-12 4.2.2_r1]

Would this require a wipe when coming from pp45's sgt7 rom? I know he bases his on yours, but I'm not sure of the amount of changes.

Also, I'm thinking about making a miui port and using your rom as my starting point if that's okay by you.

Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with the backlight not shuting off when charging. If I shut the screen off after I plug the charger in the backlight stays on.

Lower your brightness setting.

Thank you very much its been driving me nutty. I haven't been able to charge with USB because the backlight kept draining what charge it was getting.

I just let the screen shut of by its self and the back light goes off.
I haven't tried lowering the brightness though

Its something that only happens when you set the brightness to full.

Wasn't going to do it, but did. Now I'm happy.

I was pretty happy with my rooted KF2. I got everything working properly, but the nagging pop-up about Google Play being an external market. I installed TWRP last night. (lucky)

Today, my KF2 received the 10.3.0 update. No-more Root.

so I D/L'd this ROM and flashed it with GAPPS.Wow, this is so nice now. Boot animation still needs work. Even installed a different boot animation. not much better.

Kindle app is different than real nexus 7. I use Calibre to load books, and have to 'share' periodicals with my USERID@amazon.com (this option is there after you install the kindle app)

Overall, this is an Excellent build for those of you who are still trying to decide.

Good job

Hey hashcode,

Cheers for the rom, twrp and rom flashed in 5 mins, sweet as a nut no issues (hardest thing was getting mtp drivers on my vm win 7 install lol).

Good job.:highfive:

Do you have the 2nd bootloader and TWRP installed?

grahamc1965 · Apr 12, 2013

If you carefully follow all instructions in the 2nd bootloader thread, you should have no problem.

Yip, this is correct, I was on that same version, piece of cake :good:

Im thinking about loading this up on my daughters KF2. Think this would be a good idea?

I don't like my options for how the stock KF2 connects to a amazon account. I would prefer a simple android+google account. and just use Google Play

mindmajick · Apr 16, 2013

You're better off with the official cm10.1 by hashcode.

Or the sgt7 rom by PowerPoint.

Either way, this ROM probably won't be getting updates...

If you want a stock no nonsense uncomplicated Rom then this is perfect for your needs, whether it gets future updates or not

I'm holding off on updates, as we should be seeing new source drop in the next month or 2.
