[pufferfish142]

[pufferfish142]

Is this bad for your computer or kindle fire?

I'm having a hell of a time getting the android SDK on my computer. It says I need Java SE installed, but there is no option for windows XP 32 bit computers. Is there a work around for people on windows 32 bit comps?

[bigcfantasy]

@uofajac you will install the x86 version of Java SE. That is the version necessary for 32 bit windows

[st1ckyf1ngerz15]

By doing this can we get free apps from the store? Sorry, old apple user here

[TheKnuddelsAddict]

Okay, unfortunately, I searched most the web for tonight and could not find one place to help me. I have the SDK and everything, but the thing is... I do not have the temp file for the usb_driver and have no idea where or how to download it... any person willing to help I appreciate.. Thanks in advance!

[Robindahoodz]

ive done everything but when i run adb devices i dont get any devices

ive redirected windows to the inf file for the driver and it pops up properly on the device manager

[aerqwertyu]

@Robindahoodz this is wat i had to do... i uninstalled sdk tools, and reinstalled it, and then followed this guide word for word. Then (in device manager) make sure that the files that are being used are not in the system32 folder. It should have the yellow exclamation triangle next to "kindle" or "kindle fire". right click it, and click "update drivers". point it to the folder the .inf file is in. Do not allow it to include subfolders. It should install under "android phones" or sumthingLikThat

[pigs3littleones]

Remove the fuckin insert. Dumbass

[lilballaj1]

Where can u download The ADB

[qwerty12161]

is this safe? waht if it breaks your kindle?

[awful8484]

If you root the kindle does it keep the functionality of the amazon download capabilities and the cloud capabilities along with the android market? I want to root my Fire but I want the best of both worlds.

[marlonbtx]

@awful8484 I'm wondering the same bro if you find something message me :D plis

[billonicle]

would you be able to put honeycomb on it?

[testament0221]

Anyone run swype on the Fire yet?

[Ashertheawesome]

@testament0221 the fire does not have an enternal mic but a 3.5mm headphone jack maby plug a mic?

[mtktm]

I know from ifixit that there is a bluetooth chip in the device, but not working with the stock OS, much like the nook color. Do you know if it is enabled after you root it?

[Mouthmusician]

well I think I'll wait for the 16GB one when and if it show up.

[4everMlL]

awesome. im just wandering, since you can get the device rooted, is it possible to test for example how many multi-touch points does the device have or any kinds of testing apps? or maybe can you guys do a "deeper" review on kindle fire using those apps?

[EpiousiosBread]

"cls" for windows clear screen command.

[zaghy2zy]

Sweet! Now only if the Fire is available in Canada the I'd get this and be happily use it for my bedtime and travel time reading and browsing... I love XDA

[kingsmith1991]

thanx for this! i plan i buying one for myself and i like to tinker with things lol.

[Dr1661]

damn. now im thinking about buying a kindle fire :3

[laurencereich]

I see on this that you have the Google Music app on your kindle. Did you get that through the root? Or is it in the amazon market place already?

[pocketnowvideo]

@laurencereich In the Google Market. Check the second link for getting the Google Apps installed.

[caco3017]

Damn this is crazy. Wasn't root for android? Lmao. Some guy I know said to me I quote Yo when can you root my iPhone? Lmao wtf?

[QAZ2453]

@caco3017 lol kindle fire has is running android 2.3 with a kindle overlay... (you probably knew that) :)

[CandysAllMediaReview]

Sorry, stupid question, I see the link

[CandysAllMediaReview]

Can you install the android market?

[Acer157xxx]

I would love to see someone do a Honeycomb port on this lol. Well, actually an ICS port since that's coming up :)

[weisiang1996]
