Some info before buying.. - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Amazon Italia is promoting his kindle fire hd 7 priced at € 99,00 so I'm interested in buying it.
But before I buy it I would ask you some questions..
1- Since I hate amazon os, will I be able to install 2nd bootloader mod (to install custom rom) on every os version? Because I read in this forum that latest os cause a bootloop.
2- When my tablet arrives, do you know which os version there is inside? And how can I avoid update to latest os?
3- Is this tablet fast and very usable with a cyanogenmod inside?
4 (last and stupid question)- is this the correct (moddable) tablet I should buy?:

The boot loop you referred to is only if you try to stay on the latest amazon os, but if that kindle is a kfhd, that looks like it's the 2013 model since I see no camera. If it's the 2012 model which I believe it is since there's a camera, then yes you can put custom ROMs on it. 2013 model we can't.

But can I chose not to stay on latest os? Is it possible to do a downgrade if I receive latest os before trying to put custom rom?
In the photo I published it has a front camera on left side as you can see.

Yes u can downgrade it. And my bad I noticed the camera after posting and I thought I corrected my post, but I was half asleep and I guess I didn't. That looks to be the 2012 model so yes fully rommable and yes you can downgrade the os.

Google Playstore v 3.7.11 (Stripped from Jelly Bean 4.1)

Well, I just updated my Google Playstore app to v 3.7.11. So far, nothing significant changes had been done. Maybe because of my location right now. So, I'm not sure about others.
Anyway, here's the link for the app:

You are so lucky to get all those new features in Google Play.. No problem for updating any apps and games so far for me too..

How is it possible to tell if the install worked? I have run the apk, and it says it installed sucessfully, but there I cant really see any difference.
Do I have to put the apk file in a specific location or just run the install?

You can check the version at setting menu in Play Store.
Same as mine. Almost non changes except in Editor's choices UI..
Maybe because of region support. Some will receive like the 3rd post one.

[BOOTANIMATION] New Nexus 7 and Jelly Bean Boot Animations

Full functioning Jelly Bean animation from Galaxy Nexus and the original animation that was on the Nexus 7 when it was given at IO, before the OTA a couple hours after.
The second is my personal favorite. You can grab these animations on my app called Aniboot. It has many other animations, and is very easy to use. Try it out and see what you think.
Here's the link to the app.

Love them, thanks for the Brilliant App too.
(I've rated on Playstore).
Regards.

Thanks for this, but I can't find the Jellybean Before OTA (flipping triangles) animation in the app.. ?

It's dependent on the Resolution that you choose for your device during the initial setup. You can change the Resolution in "Preferences" .
Cheers
Its Nexus 7
I've been having the same problem. I'm fixing the app right now and you can expect a newly released version soon. I'm tying it in with my v2 update, so it might be a couple of days till that's up. no worries though, i'm aware and i'll change it soon
It's fantastic, thanks man.
cant find it in your apk..
my screen resolution is: 800x480

Same here. You could go for something like WonderShare MobileGo but it's a paid product. That said, I don't see much use of these "Mobile Managers" anyway.
Doesn't work with MM phones yet as far as I know.
Xiaomi really need to slow down and concentrate on making things that are already released work properly.
Instead of making drones and space ships and unicorns that will be sold out in 10 seconds anyway.
I have the same problem because my reseller put a fake ROM... follow this guide, it can help you. It worked for me! http://en.miui.com/thread-293457-1-1.html
Because Mi PC suite doesn't support Android 6.0 for now
I don't know about the PC suite app, but the drivers it carry does help me to unlock my phone. MiUnlock tool alone won't do it.
Mi suite have driver for unlock bl.

Oh boy, did they really planned to make unicorns? xD
For OP, AFAIK there's no MI PC Suite that works with Mi 5 for now... Or later, since the last MI PC Suite is in July 2015. Bummer...
But I read elsewhere there's a MI PC suite in Chinese Language that can support Mi 5.

Some screenshots from my SM-T705 official Marshmallow Update

Hi to all!
I've just flashed the Samsung official Marshmallow firmware on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE, I took some screenshots in case anyone is interested in seeing it.
I forgot to wipe before flashing with Odin, but all my configurations, apps and accounts seem to have fared just fine in the updated system. I was using SucukROM by @TimurAlaskara_TR and not stock Samsung Lollipop. SuperSU obiously is not working since I've not flashed TWRP yet.
Only app that seems to have problems is Gallery, it works but it gives me an error nearly every time I exit with "back" button.

Thinks it appear the ROM is the same as lollipop?

My Files seemed to have the same problem as Gallery. It appears it's solved just by clearing data of the two apps from applications menu.
any noticeable performance improvement?
Pls share mega download link for this rom. Tq

This is a difficult question, I've had the tablet for less than a month and used very little stock Lollipop, I've mostly been trying custom roms. I would say perhaps some more fluid window opening/closing animation and a little less battery consumption while in use... But I cannot say for sure. I remember that I had a worse general impression of stock Lollipop when I tried.

Custom 10.2 Android unit bought from this link for my 2014 Nissan Altima. Some specs on this site are incorrect.
https://www.agdcustoms.com/products/agd-customs-10-2-inch-android-navigation-head-unit-2013-s
I attached screenshots of correct specs below. I already rooted with Kingroot and installed Viper4Android, a few other root apps, and pushed Team Black Out cleared apps to system. I am considering a custom ROM and definitely want to look into replacing the stock Radio apk.

What type of unit do I have? MTCB, MTCC, something else? Then I can find specific forums to post in.
From there, what ROMs are available and can I keep factory backup camera and steering wheel controls with any? I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, yours is not a MTC unit. While there are a couple factory ROMs around, haven't seen any custom ROM yet.
Best chance to find relevant threads is to search by MCU substring, they are kinda scattered.
I appreciate the quick reply and info. Not sure too much why Android Auto seems so much more complicated than Android in general with so many more reports of bricked devices...
