####Description This is ROM I have created for the Kindle Fire HD 2nd Generation. (KFSOWI) It is meant as a successor to Kindle-Water which I have discontinued because it can potentially fry your device.


####Features

  • Smart Launcher
  • AOSP(ish) Lockscreen Read the more stuff section at bottom
  • AOSP Settings
  • As always, lockscreen ads disabled
  • Much Easier setup
  • Performance on-par with Kindle-ICE ( +Colton DRG )
  • Wallpapers
  • Widgets
  • Google Services/Play
  • NO AMAZON STUFF

####Bugs (No deal breakers)

  • The notification drawer is really bugged. Should not interfere with usage
  • Says "My Kindle" in top left (My cohorts and I are working on it)
  • FireOS based

####For the Future

  • More features
  • Bug Fixes
  • I'm taking feature requests

####Install #####(I take no responsibility for bricked devices. It won't brick if you do this correctly, however)

  • Download and install the android platform-tools in the above link
  • Download plasma_bx.IMG (Plasma ROM)
  • If not rooted, root the device. Open CMD and enter the following commands you can copy/paste with ctrl+c/ctrl+v

adb push C:\path\to\plasma_bx.img /sdcard/ This will take ~5 minutes

  • If this is the first install:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/plasma_b2.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 && reboot recovery"

  • If you are updating from Beta 1:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/plasma_b2.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 && reboot"

  • If you are updating froma recent PLASMA, you are now done. Ignore the remaining steps

  • When it finishes, (15 minutes max) it should automatically reboot. If this is the first time installing PLASMA, it will go to recovery where it asks to reset. Use the volume buttons to higlight factory reset and the power button to select. It will reboot to an upgrading screen, and then the setup. Set it up with your Google account.

  • After you set it up, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING navigate to the UDN app. Its in the app drawer. If you do anything else, you will get stuck.

  • Set up UDN so that you can get the aosp navbar to appear with a swipe up from the bottom, or whatever is most comfortable to you.

  • Use the newly configured navbar to navigate to the Xposed Installer app.

  • Tap Modules and then enable all of the modules on the list using the checkbox to the left of each.

  • REBOOT AND ENJOY!


####More stuff you should read

  • We now have an aospish lock screen because of the new launcher. In settings, set lock screen type to none and activate the SL lock screen in Smart Launcher prefs.
  • Activate the moonshine icon pack in SL prefs because the default one is fugly.
  • Apex launcher is removed in this version so back up your Apex desktop layout before the install and after the install download Apex from the play store and restore your layout if you don't like SL.
