The 7th gen only has root available, no custom ROMs, I believe.
The only 7th gen device that can be rooted is the HD 10. HD 8 and classic 7" Fire can not be rooted at present.

Tate is 1st gen HD, not 1st gen Fire, see the difference?

It was the first KFHD7, otter was original Kindle fire(non HD).
Fully aware of the differences. Please use the proper designations when referring to Fire devices.

patched libandroidfw.so

It seems recent google play version brakes this rom :(
All worked fine until these days. Now, sometimes trebuchet crashes in fast loop. When it happens, the device is unusable. The boot is very slow because theses crashes, if you wait few minutes, the crashes loop stops without apparent reason and you can use the device. I have attached crashes files to my message.
Other cyanogenmod users are affected, see here :

[EDIT]
I found out the root cause, google play service is not the issue :

"An error" doesn't tell us anything without telling exactly what error you are getting.

The Netflix app you're installing might not be compatible with your hardware or your region. Try finding a version of the Netflix app that is compatible with your hardware and your region.

    OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12.1 for the Kindle Fire HD 7"

    *** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! WHILE I TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE WORKING KERNELS/ROMS, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS SOFTWARE OR ANYTHING I'VE WORKED ON SUDDENLY FRIES YOUR DEVICE. ***


    BEFORE YOU FLASH THIS, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A 2ND-BOOTLOADER INSTALLED FROM HERE:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848


    CHECK KNOWN ISSUES BEFORE FLASHING. MAY NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR DAILY USE.

    Official nightly builds can be found here:
    http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=tate

    Download Google Apps for Android 5.1:
    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=25361
    (Choose newest *-5.1-* file)

    NOTES:
    • Older versions of TWRP will show a "mount failed error". This is safe to ignore.
    • First boot after a clean wipe will take a LONG time. Be patient.

    KNOWN ISSUES:
    Use XDA Bug Reporter

    SCREEN SHOTS:
    Use XDA Screenshots

    Quick update:

    I've been really busy at work (anyone see Ara's DevCon2?), but wanted to do a quick build refresh as the theme engine was added recently.

    NO BUG FIXES. So be aware of the current KNOWN ISSUES in the Bug Reporter.

    (Downloads Section for the new ROM)

    Enjoy

    When will you have a working 12.1 rom
    It's taking a while, since the Kfire HD's never had an official cm-12 (due to lack of SElinux enforcing).

    I've just recently started cleaning everything up, but it still need to run some more tests.. IE: try wiping the device and make sure there are no denials, etc.

    So maybe another week or 2.

    The new builds are SElinux enforcing and while I did enable nightlies for testing, I might not recommend them unless you want to help debug and provide feedback.

    Also, I'm building a new TWRP with updated SElinux policies as well, which will be recommended before installing the new cm-12.1 ROMs.
