Amazon Fire TV Custom ROMs
Custom ROMs are like new operating systems for the Fire TV. For instructions, see my guide on how to install a custom ROM.
Pre-Rooted Stock Software
These custom ROMs are identical to the stock software released by Amazon, only they have already been rooted. This allows you to update to the latest software version released by Amazon without losing root access.
