Welcome to the "Energy" ROM collection thread !


This development thread is the home of my "EnergyROM" custom firmware series for the Kindle Fire device. Here you will find ROMs that I have created for this device over time. My main goal when putting a ROM together is stability but...

I build my ROMs with four main goals.

  • Stability through private beta testing before public release
  • Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
  • Speed !!!
  • Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.


Now on to the good stuff...


(You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter)





How to Flash this ROM:

- Root your device
- Install TWRP custom recovery
- Install the downloaded ROM .zip found in post #3
- Make sure to do a Factory Reset / Wipe before installing ROM

Great rom. Not sure is this is common on ics builds but the wallpaper distorts after the lockscreen is unlocked. Update seems like the issue fixed itself.

Flashed fine and seems to be running really smooth. Well done for a first release, I look forward to seeing where this goes in the future. Thanks for giving us all another option on this very cool device :D

    The ROM was just updated. Enjoy guys :)



    Recommended installation routine (to avoid FCs and accounts disappearing..)

    1. Copy over the new ROM zip to your tablet's internal storage
    2. Reboot into your recovery
    3. Make a FULL backup of your current ROM using the recovery.
    4. Do a Factory Reset
    5. Install the new Energy ROM zip file (5.29.2012...)
    6. Restore the backup your just made but make sure to only have "Data" checked.

    Reboot and enjoy!

    4.29 version is uploading with Hashcode's 3.0 kernel! Enjoy :)
