Windows 8 - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible in any way to get windows on the kindle fire HD 7"?

I doubt it, last I checked windows was closed source. Android is open source.

There is, however, an app that imitates the Windows 8 Start screen. I believe it's called Launcher8. The Play Store will tell you that it is incompatible, but it actually works just fine on the Kindle Fire.
And just for fun, this post was sent from a Windows 8 latpop running Android

Regular vs kindle edition apps?

What are the differences between the regular version apps vs the kindle edition version apps? Would it make a real difference from installing either or on the KFHD 7?

Some of the kindle edition apps are optimized/improved for certain kindle hardware. It really depends upon which app you are talking about and what that particular app author did to make the "kindle" edition of the app. Which apps are you asking about? If I have experience with them on both my kindle and other devices I can tell you what I've observed.

Well what brought the question up was the skype app, but now it goes to all of them. Now when I see a kindle edition app I wonder what is so different and how would the regular one perform compared to the kindle edition one.

Specifically-optimized apps behave differently. If you were to take a regular Scrabble app, it would scale up to fit the Kindle's resolution. Sometimes this ends well, other times it doesn't. The app may look weird and disproportionate. The Kindle Edition Scrabble was made specifically with the Kindle's resolution and hardware in mind (its powerful OMAP processor), so it fits well in the screen and looks great.

[BUG][CM10.1][KFTT] Camera only Partially functional

Hello fellow KFTT users, I have recently flashed CM10.1 and I realized that the camera only partially works... It works when booted up then it seems after a certain period of use, it quits working. This is not a complaint, just a little heads up to Has code if he wasn't already aware.

used other app to se that the camera app is the problem?
Are you taking pictures or are you taking video?
I've only tried picture because I can't get any stock camera app to stay installed. There seems to be none pre-installed.

Could be a lot of things. I'd need more info. I've had the same problem myself before and here's what I did.
Are your device drivers installed and running properly?
Is the device in USB mode? Some ROMs will give a pop up that asks what you want to do when plugged into a computer. Did you hit "charge only"?
Try refreshing the window in which your kindle would be displayed. Usually "computer" or "my computer"
Is it's battery dead? Your comp won't see it if it's not turned on and some USB ports don't have enough power to charge a kfhd. Try a USB 2 or 3 port.
All in all I'd try rebooting both devices and hook them together again.
And if it's an emergency situation you can always use something like dropbox or 4shared to transfer the files over the internet.
Good luck.
If you went from stock to normal cm, try uninstalling the drivers in the device manager and letting windows reinstall what it thinks is right. I had something like this happen in the same scenario for the kindle MTP/portable device. Then again u didn't mention whether it was stock or not so I have no idea if this is even relevant, it was just the first thing to come to mind.

i m in the first kinology rom, it ever worked. now no, my brother`s kindle work well. it recognise my kindle like M: but i cant enter to it, it is like transparent (in my pc, using windows 7)
OK then try what I mentioned because that is weird, sounds like it might be driver related.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD with Fire OS 3.0 version 11.3.0.5 root

I JUST purchased the brand new kindle fire HD with Fire OS 3.0
I was wondering if there is a way to root it yet?
We REALLY need a better way to refer to this new Kindle Fire (aka Kindle Fire HD (3rd gen), AKA Kindle Fire 3), all new Kindle Fire HD? 2013 Kindle Fire HD? Just finding out which is which is confusing.
I would think the logical naming convention due to our old naming convention would be kfhd2

I'm also interested in an answer to this. My mom just bought one a couple days ago, and she hates the Fire OS layout. I was able to sideload Nova launcher but alot of apps don't work like Gmail, Notes, Currents(or at least the versions I was able to find). There's also no play store without rooting, no way to add a wallpaper, and widgets don't work. I tried the root QEMU root and Root_with_Restore but neither of those worked. Being able to root and run a Custom Rom would make this an awesome little device for her, its even making me thinking of getting a Nexus 7. Thanks for any help.
There are no exploits for any 2013 model Kindle yet. This is stated on the forum several times.
