So theres not ANY other custom rom for ariel? Im not sure how roms work, but is there a way to get stock android? It would probably need to be ported, but there should be other custom roms out there, since the cyanogenmod rom has a lot of issues, like not being able to use the cameras or netflix.
Most stable firmware
Anyone please suggest most stable firmware for amazon fire tab 7 .

5.1.2 can be rooted by Kingroot

Word of caution: do NOT reboot after running SuperSume; device will soft brick. Immediately start FlashFire and proceed with rom install. This condition does not apply when using Root Junky's approach/tool to replace KingUser with SuperSU. Also note SuperSU is a prerequisite for using FlashFire on FireOS.

Internal USB port
I'm thinking the internal USB was likely an aborted attempt to add NFC functionality the this thing. I'm wanting to build a case to add 2 external USB host ports without adding more than a half an inch or so to the depth. This should also let me add a secondary battery to the unit. If the internal usb is device only I might be able to bring that out and just use it for charging and connecting to my PC.
One more rom, SLimLP

Information Regarding Firmware Version 5.1.1
Added:[Video]How to Firmware Restore or Unbrick your Amazon Fire 5th gen Tablet

fire os 5.3.6.8 is out (7th gen tablets only) and amazon messed up again

This FW version kind of flew under my radar and probably yours too. This update came out almost a month ago and it's only for the 7th gen. remember when fire os 5.3.6.4 came out and everyone was calling it 5.6.1.0. well, that's because Amazon messes it up between their web site and what it says on the tablet. well, guess what, they did it again. (facepalm)
here is what it says on the website:
what it says on tablet:
at this point, we shud just call it by its build date.
I think the only thing that changed is Alexa got updated and there is a video that plays at setup about Alexa.
update
they almost got it right.
here is part of the build.prop
Code:
