[ROM] 14 Jun Gr9 (6.3.1) - MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Kindle Fire

[paulobrien]

Hi all!

I've started playing more with my Kindle Fire so i've made a first early MoDaCo Custom ROM for the device.

Flashing is recommended using TWRP, ALWAYS BACK UP BEFORE FLASHING! Wipe is not required.

Features:

• Based on the 6.3.1 release
• Heavily optimised and compressed to take as little space as possible and perform as fast as possible!
• Includes Google Services Framework and Google Play Store, masquerading as Galaxy Tab for maximum app availability
• Optional Google Books / Music
• Network location support (for Maps etc.)
• Rooted with Superuser
• Insecure boot image (for 'adb remount' etc.)
• init.d support
• TweakDeck Twitter client Kindle Fire version (can be uninstalled)

I'll be doing more tweaks as I mess around with the device more together with more kitchen features, so watch this space.

• Gr9.1 - DOWNLOAD - MD5: 14a9100d328bf025c497066c380cb3f0
• Gr9.1 alt - DOWNLOAD - MD5: 334ab5af643ab6f6cbef70d6eb184094

will there be a changelog so we can understand what actually is different?

so this is the stock KF rom but optimized? it uses less space and is faster?

Exactly, + Android Market and root.

Yes, there will be changelog when I update.

Hi Paul, nice to see you´re working on the Fire, I´ve been using your Nexus One roms for a long time and they are great. One question, does flashing this ROM erase FireFireFire and TWRP like the stock one? I supose it does not but just to check, I had a very nasty experience flashing the stock rom.

 

[paulobrien]

No it does not, it is designed to run alongside firefirefire and TWRP.

Thanks for the dev!

But I do have a quick question about this ROM - does it still support Amazon Video?
I want all the bennies of being rooted with google apps, but want to still be able to take advantage of my amazon prime membership...

 

[paulobrien]

I'll try Amazon Video on mine and let you know.

This is my starting point.

love the stock ROM. I'll be trying this later for sure.
*/fingercrossed any chance app compatibility is better?

flashed and running...nothing really wowing me yet, but ive not done much with it so far

up and running and a promise of lighterweight and faster is A+

What are exact optimizations? zipalign? odex? please explain what was optimized in details.

Hi, just flashed it. I was using CM7 and wiped cache/dalvik/system. But some apps i had installed are still installed and i think this is giving me some problems, the process android.process.media is FC all the time so it´s annoying. What else do i have to wipe to have a clean installation?
Thx

My own optimisations as on all MCRs, of course zipaligned etc. etc. too.

Not odexed, i'll be adding my 'OdexMe' app in a future release for optional on-demand odex.

Coming from CM you will probably need a full wipe of data as CM is signed with different certificates, which means the system will have a fit with lots of mismatches in the core apps / frameworks!

Just curious as to if this will block OTA updates?

OTAs are effectively blocked by installing TWRP no?

That aside, it will depend on exactly what the OTA does, but it doesn't block the checking mechanism.
