Hi to all Developers,
I would like to know if there's anyone interested in application development for Android Pads.
The project consists in creating or adapting(if exists) two main applications to control time usage and password protect the devices.
The applications must run in Android OS and as to be compatible with this Pads:
• Amazon Kindle Fire
• Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD, 8.9" Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire 2
• BN Nook Simple Touch
• Samsung Galaxy Tab
• And other Android Pads
Please contact me if you have any interest or question and yes it's well payed.
Best Regards to all of you,
Daniel Almeida
Owner and Director PC-ART

My wife has been talking about the Kindle Fire HD to be a Christmas present to our children. Now I'm a Google Nexus phone owner and enjoy the rooted and custom ROM's very much.
I'm comparing the KFHD and wonder if another Android device like the Google Nexus 7 wouldn't come with the same stuff as the KFHD and give me a more open system to fiddle with.
What are the main reasons for going after the KFHD over any other android tablet (considering the KFHD and Nexus 7 almost have the same price point)
Will things like Amazon Prime not work on android tablets? From the Prime web page I only see an iPad support but nothing generic like an android tablet.
I would appreciate any feedback or experience.
I do have an original kindle, but hardly use it anymore, since I can do the same stuff on my Thrive android tablet.
Thanks Jens

Since the tablet is for a child the number one reason is kindle free time. It offers parental controls that no one else does. Google it and find out all the details but that would be the main attraction over the Nexus

I don't think there's a need for yet another KFHD vs Nexus 7 thread. Try one of the existing ones below for a range of opinions...

Please join one of those discussions. If those don't work for you, the Nexus 7 forum has plenty more with the bias slanted the other way.
Hello all, just purchased a kindle fire hd 7 as I am after a cheap android (running)tablet mainly for work, so emails, web, diary etc. I was reading though the kindle fire section of xda and saw all the rom options as I want to run one of the jelly bean roms on a kindle. Then when I searched for kindle fire hd I realised that the two different kindles are very different! Can I run any jelly bean rom on my fire hd? I have been in the rom development section and there seems to only be one rom (CM10) and that is still in development but when I go to 'show us your home screen' thread there are loads of android 4.xxxx looking screens.
Can I put a JB rom on my fire HD? I'm not new to roms/rooting etc but am confused at the moment.

SensationAlex,
No, you can not install Jelly Bean on the Kindle HD yet. We are working on a custom ROM
for the Kindle and may release it in about 6 months - so far we are finding the Kindle to
be a real challenge. You bought the best one in the Kindle lineup. The Kindle Fire HD surpasses
most of the 7" tablets in quality and sound. Our company just bought a Nexus 10 and we
really enjoy the speed and the quality of the screen but the Kindle 7" is by far a better
sounding tablet. The Kindle HD Fire is the best sounding tablet, period. So if you love
to watch Movies, you bought the perfect tablet, if you want to do development, you
should get a Nexus 7. You will not like the sound on the Nexus 7", especially when
you have already been spoiled by the Kindle. If you like a challenge and have patience
keep the Kindle, it is top of the class 7". You can Root it, install a custom GUI, Install
Google Play, everything except a custom ROM.
Just been reading the kindle section of xda and have seen what people are doing, I have been using nova launcher for ages on my phone so will put that on my kindle and then with emails, browser and a few other apps I'll be happy. Can I use the stock email app with nova launcher? Or is there a different one?
I'm kind of glad there are no roms for it, will stop me messing about with roms each week!

SensationAlex,
Yes, I can relate, you and I are similar in that manor. I find the Kindle is the most stable tablet in the
office due to that fact. You can use the stock email app with Nova Launcher. As a matter of fact,
you loose nothing when installing Nova Launcher and gain a beautiful interface.

Ne0hacK,
We actually successfully loaded Jelly Bean on the Kindle Fire HD, it was very buggy and is not ready
for production use. We are about 6 months away from releasing the custom ROM for the Kindle
Fire HD 7" current rev 7.2.3. Hashcode released a custom recovery on 11/14/2012 named
Safestrap v3.05 Beta unfortunately this project is "On Hold". We are hoping Hashcode is
able to release a production version of Safestrap prior to our custom ROM. Only time
will tell.........
Hi All,
I'm a newbie to this forum - I have some but limited experience upgrading firmware on mobile devices, but I have a problem I am trying to resolve which I cannot find an answer to, and I hoped somebody could lend their expertise (and sympathy!) to helping me out.
I have an old 2nd Generation (2012) Kindle Fire HD. I don't use it anymore and want to give it to my kids to entertain themselves when we are travelling/on holidays - I really like the simplicity of the Amazon Freetime App which is prompting me to want to stick with the Fire OS.
However, one app my kids use a lot when at home (UK) is the BBC iplayer app. On other phones and ipad, the iplayer gives you the ability to download BBC programmes for one month to view offline. However, it would appear that as of 1st September 2015, BBC stopped supporting this function on 2nd generation kindles and other devices running android 4.0:
(I can't post the link as I am a newbie so it is the first link that appears when you google the question "Why can't I download on Android 4.0 and Kindle Fire 2nd Generation?")
This renders the BBC iplayer app useless when there is no network connection in the UK (i.e. in the car), or abroad as you cannot stream BBC programmes when outside the UK.
What I am wondering is, is it possible to install a later version of the fire OS (i.e. fire OS 3.0) on the 2nd generation kindle? I assume you would need to root the kindle first before attempting to install the new OS, but I have no idea whether the device and OS are compatible. I've searched Google extensively, but cannot find an answer to this particular combination/problem.
Any advice would be truly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rich

Nope - all material in the Fire 7 forum is applicable to both 5th and 7th gen devices. The version of FireOS installed determines what level of customization is available. For most newer devices that means no root or custom ROMs.
