Hi there. I'm really confused about how to proceed and would appreciate some help.
I have a Kindle Fire HDX 7 (3rd Gen) on which I would like to wipe the Fire OS, and replace it with a working, functional Android ROM. I have some basic competence with installing software, flashing phones, etc., but am by no means an expert. I have both Windows & Linux PCs with which to connect.
A year or so ago I tried to get the tablet working with Google Apps, etc.. I can't remember precisiely what I did (!), but I think I used TWRP, I rolled back the operating system to 4.5.2, turned off the updates, and installed a Google Apps piece of software. The tablet then worked reasonably well, but not great. By that I mean I could web browse, and download and use some apps from the Play Store, but lots of stuff didn't work preoperly. At some time since then, the tablet decided it no longer wanted to install/update from the Play Store, and more of the apps have stopped working. I can still web browse.
TBH, I've got to the point where if I can't completely replace the OS then I think I'm just going to stop using it.
What steps should I take to get a 'proper' ROM working on the tablet?
Thanks very much in advance for any help,
Aaron
