Firstly, excuse any naive comments. I'm pretty new to this modding scene (had rooted my Galaxy S3 but never changed ROM)
I got a HDX 7" for Christmas and after the last couple of days I've decided that Fire OS is a steamy heap. Why can't I used Google Play damnit!
So I used a couple of Android Cowboy guides to get root on the HDX and then I for SafeStrap installed so I can boot a different ROM and have a play.
I'm now at the point where I want to try some ROMs out, but I have no idea what to try or whether development is far enough along that any ROMs will function (I assume it is too early for all that).
Instead I would like to install Fire OS again, to a different ROM slot (so I don't break my stock), and install some modifications to give me access to Google Play etc.
Really, if I can get google play going on the kindle I will be happy enough.
Does anyone know if there are any ROMs that play well with the HDX 7" (and where to get them).
Does anyone know where to find the stock Fire OS (or how to dupe my stock and install it to a ROM slot).
cheers internet

Please up vote this post if you are interested in seeing a proper root or a custom ROM (CM7/CM9) for Motorola FireXT (XT-530) just like I do.
I have searched for a proper rooting method for XT-530 but no one seems to have done it with 100% success. Most of them have ended up bricking their device.
If there in enough interest for a port for this mobile, developers here at xda or CyanogenMod maybe interested in working on it.

No one has bricked their Fire XT by rooting. Rooting is a very safe process.
The most used method for rooting this phone is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271114
Most bricks were caused by installing incompatible custom recoveries using rom manager.
As of this moment, there is no Clockwork mod (custom recovery) for this phone. However, a dev is working on it and it'll be released soon.
As I said before, I'll be porting CyanogenMod to this phone once GentryLamp releases CWM for it.
We need CM7 for this phone, there's so much untapped power and motorola software is crappyer than crap!

The only launcher you had was installed as a user app, and you reset the phone deleteing all user apps.
Try this:
-Download any launcher, and rename it to launcher.apk, place it on the SD card.
PS. here is go launcher apk: http://dl.apktops.com/app/201205/GO_Launcher_EX_3.00_fixed.apk
-Tell a friend to send you an sms with a link. say, http://www.google.com
-When you recieve the message, click the link to launch the browser.
In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/launcher.apk", installer should launch and install go launcher.
And this time, please convert the launcher to system app. I recommend launcher pro for this because Go Launcher may be too large to fit on system partition!
Alternatively, you can start from scratch and re-flash the entire ROM from here:

Well it appears to be a port(?) from the i9000 galaxy s, hence the i9000 in the kernel but that could be the issue right there. You need a vibrant kernel. Really the biggest question is how did you flash a ROM but don't know what it is? The name should be in the OP.
I recommend Hellybean.

Now it has some problems such as calling problem which I told my previous post. Secondly I can't hear music in loud speaker !!! I noticed that last night. But the phone is speedy, faster. No I have no front facing camera. My phone is vibrant sgh t949. And in recovery mode I can scroll options without volume up, down button by touching. But before I can't touch In recovery mode. There is also file manager name AROMA in recovery mode.

OK you mean t959...... I am not sure which ROM you are using now but try and flash the ROM in the link, both links are the same I accidentally posted it twice. Be sure to read the op carefully and follow instructions. I am going to provide you with another link for Odin in case you run into trouble but you should be okay. I check these threads daily and will try to give you support in any way I can.

Yes. I'm trying. i have no internet connection last one day and i am downloading my previous apps from play store. i accidently deleted all of my backups. Now i'm downloading AIO VIBRANT TOOLBOX. it's 200+ mb. but i don't understand the very first link (Hellybean 4.1 link). there is no specific download link of this ROM. By the way I will try another vibrant ROM by the second post's link.
Edit: Now.. Odin isn't recognizing my phone in my computer!!!!!!! I have installed exact driver. last time when i bricked my phone. it worked in my fried's PC. now i have to go there, because his PC loves my phone not my PC. i don''t know why this is happening !!!
When it rains, it pours. . You'll be okay. From the issues you are having when you get to your friends house, I would definitely Odin back to stock JFD and start fresh. You seem to have the wrong kernel for your device. So start over and you should be ok.
When you go to hellybean thread in the first post there is a link that will take you to Devil website. Hit the download link it will take you to rootax files. Locate the hellybean 20120813 allinone.zip. and hellybean add ons and DL.
After you go back to stock it is recommended to flash GB boot loaders. Next,(full wipe) Flash cm9 nightly, reboot and wait about 10-15mins to allow time for files to finish, then(full wipe again) flash the hellybean allinone.zip, reboot recovery, (no wipe)flash allinone.zip again (no wipe) flash add on zip, fix permission and reboot.
Give 15mins to let it settle then setup and enjoy.

Finally I flashed my phone by the real ROM. Thank you so much. I used cyanogen mod 9 Stanky. It has no problem with my device. All my problems such as phone calls, volume up-down are corrected. Now it is Glitch recovery mode. Not devil and this recovery mode is not touchable. Thank you so much.

The apps that are force closing, go to settings, apps or manage apps, forget which its called and the find the app in question. Force stop it and clear data. Should work after that.

Apparently the ROM has gapps baked in and the hellybean add on is for jb not ICS. You can try and manually remove but it would probably be best to reflash the ROM. (Full wipe)
If you want jb go to the hellybean link I gave you and follow op directions.

Yes i have downloaded the ROM you said. I will try this. Now i am using the SKANKY ROM. PROBLEMS AFTER PROBLEMS.(BUT I AM NOT TIRED BECAUSE I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU, I AM LEARNING) NOW MY GALLERY, WINAMP, GOOGLE MUSIC CAN`T FIND THE SD CARD PICTURES AND MUSIC FILES.

I have installed fully working Flash integrated with the AOSP browser on my N10 by following the instructions found in this thread for the N7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780746
HOWEVER: The standard AOSP browser doesn't allow you to permanently set the user agent string. Yes, you can play around with the debug settings but the change doesn't stick over reboots. So instead of using the apk provided in the original thread I extracted the Browser.apk from the latest Cyanogenmod 10.1 for the Nexus 10. This lightly customised version has a setting to permanently change the user agent in Settings>Advanced. You can download the Cyanogenmod nightly from:
http://get.cm/?device=manta
Just unzip the files and look in system/apps for Browser.apk
Follow the rest of the instructions from the original thread. You will need to have rooted your Nexus to do this.
To mods: I would have posted this in themes & apps but I haven't posted enough to create a thread. If you think it's worth it maybe you could move this thread?
can you post the aosp browser apk for the N10? Is it the same as the one in the Play Store because that one doesn't work.

The best thing would be for you to download the latest Cyanogenmod nightly from the link above. You can then open the zip and get the apk from that. I don't really want to post the apk separately from Cyanogenmod.

I rooted my 8.9 HDX a few months ago, and when the latest two updates started being released, I put it into airplane mode, defeating the reason for having a tablet. I am running Safestrap with the rooted stock rom installed in a rom slot, X-posed module intalled, Android firewall setup, and all those things that were originally thought to prevent update, but I know that as soon as I turn on Wi-Fi it will get updated. I understand that modifying the build.prop is currently the only way to prevent the update, but I can't find (and yes, I have searched the forum) the correct way to safely mod it.
Can someone please post a short tutorial for safely modding the build.prop for the 8.9HDX? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
The attached apk is a different xposed mod that I currently use to block updates. It works.Renaming com.amazon.dtcp.apk (or "dcp" I can't remember) to com.amazon.dtcp.off will work too. Use both. https://peniscorp.com/KindleUpdatesOff.apk Freaking weird URL, i know.
