I was wondering if it would be possible to run a vanilla Android Lollipop build on Amazon Fire phone. Google won't support it by default, but is there a patched version of the Lollipop ROM that could be used to run Android on it?

  • Nope, I don't think so because over Amazon Fire phone are working over their own version of Android based ROMs, not the Android ROMs. I don't think that there are chances you can go past !

  • But aren't there any patched ROMs like the Cyangen Mod that can work with it?

  • I am not sure on this which is the reason why I have posted my answer over the comments. Maybe we should wait a bit more while for other member to confirm this one out as I am afraid but I haven't tried doing anything like that before! :(

  • Thanks a lot for your response. Yes, given the current fire phone offer, it'd be great to get hands on the hardware which is pretty good. Let's wait.

For everyone who has dreamed about Android on the Fire phone: It is possible. You can install CM11 (Android KitKat 4.4.X) on your device. The procedure is described here on XDA: [ROM][STABLE] CM-11 for Safestrap v4 2015/08/10

There are some issues and bugs, but if you are interested in it, then go for it ;)

Fresh Installation

  1. From Safestrap(the recovery you have to install), go into Wipe Menu and Swipe to perform a factory reset.

  2. Flash the ROM File

  3. Flash PA Gapps Modular PICO
  4. Flash the latest SuperSU package if you want root
  5. Reboot
  6. Enjoy!
