So I take it there is no custom stock Android ROM available for the Fire phone? I only found a fake Android L ROM. You can root it, though, a fairly recent development apparently.
- SwellJoe 12y agoI haven't looked into that yet, and am hesitant to go that route, as it often means giving up some features...sometimes important ones. My old Sensation 4G never got a new ROM because WiFi and the camera were non-working with Cyanogenmod; I rooted it and stipped it of all of its T-Mobile and HTC shovelware, but it kept its default OS. I didn't need to root it to get the Google Play Store side loaded, so I haven't looked into that, either. That said, if I can't figure out how to replace the awful launcher/home screen on this thing, I may eventually give it over the to CM gods (or whatever custom ROM comes along). I would like my back button, as well. Edit: this conversation led to me googling how to replace the annoying launcher...it was as easy as installing Google Now Launcher. I just reduced my dislike of my phone by another large measure. Now, if I can just get the back button to come back, the stupid tilt functions disabled, and google maps to work right, this might turn out to be a decent phone.
