Has anyone used ROM Toolbox Pro to change the bootanimation? I've done it on my s3, but not sure it will work on the kindle.

ran out of the 16GB 8.9" kindle fire HD that was in stock. We have upgraded your kindle fire for FREE OF CHARGE to a 64GB 8.9" 4GLTE kindle fire HD

Decent ebay seller sent me this on my purchase of a new 16gb wifi 8.9' fire.what happened here. I got a free upgrade to 64gb 4G LTE something which costs 500$ instead of 269$ :confused: Any red flags ?

I pretty much don't think I will be using 4G LTE. Can I still use these vanilla jelly-bean rom on my kindle and use it as a non LTE wifi kindle ?

goo.im download links for this rom are defunct. i located a torrent containing the rom from another forum posting, but that is long since dead. i've searched exhaustively for an alternative download location (including directory tree of hosting provider hashcode uses now), but have come up empty. does anyone still have a copy of this rom that they can share? thanks.

    AOSP JELLY BEAN 4.2.2_r1

    *** READ CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ***
    *** Kindle Fire 1st-gen ROMs/KERNELS are *NOT* compatible with the Kindle Fire 2. Please only flash ROMs/KERNELS that are made for the Kindle Fire 2. ***

    This ROM represents exactly what is being pushed to Nexus 10/7 owners. Now you can join in the fun too!

    WHAT'S NEW IN ANDROID 4.2
    See for yourself: http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
    (Note that we don't have a camera or NFC so some of these are obviously not going to work for us)

    [2013/02/12] Download 4.2.2_r1 ROM here
    md5sum: fed5a3e6d4c66498d8c6412a13663617

    PLUS YOU WILL NEED TO FLASH GAPPS AFTER
    Jelly Bean 4.2 Gapps here (CM10.1)
    (use top row CM10.1 link for 12/12)

    WHAT WORKS
    (Basically, most items I tested work, except I couldn't get the new swype-style input going on the keyboard)
    • [02/12] AOSP 4.2.2_r1
    • [01/22] Updated with new 3.0.50 kernel including better battery life
    • [01/22] Newest PVR/Imgtec graphics binaries
    • [01/22] Update wifi firmware to R5.SP3.06
    • [12/18] Fixed battery deep sleep
    • [12/18] Added multi-user login fix mentioned by NotShorty found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2018146
    • Hardware Acceleration (hwcomposer)
    • HD Codecs (YouTube/Netflix)
    • Small amount of OTG (some devices w/ powered hub supported)
    • Sound, but no microphone

    NOT WORKING
    • Bootanimation needs a display bugfix
    • Need to enable the swype-style 4.2 keyboard
    • I'll check out photo sync options
    • Looking into USB camera support (will probably be more useful when the 3.4 kernel is ready)

    REQUIREMENTS
    1. Have 2nd-bootloader + custom recovery installed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
    2. OR Easy APK method by FMKilo: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2106463

    INSTALLATION
    RECOMMEND FULL WIPE UNLESS UPDATING A 4.2 ROM Use Titanium Backup to restore apps.
    1. Download the ZIP
    2. Grab the GAPPS (12/12 from goo.im/gapps)
    3. Reboot into recovery
    4. Make your backup (You do make a backup right?)
    5. Wipe Data/Cache)
    6. Flash both the ROM and the gapps .zip files
    7. Reboot and Enjoy

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    • Q: Does this include the new 3.4 kernel? A: No, it's not ready yet.
    • Q: Where's the "Developer" settings menu? A: Go into Settings -> About tablet, and tap the "Build number" box about 7 times. That enables it.

    BUILDING THIS ROM
    [ It's a rough build. Probably not going to update the public manifest ]

    Enjoy

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

    This should include the MAC address fix, but I can't confirm if its working correctly.

    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.
