Been running latest CyanogenMod ROMs on my kf for like a half a year already, (currently running TWA's cm10.1 JB4.2.2 ROM) but these vids SURE would have been helpful back in the day when all I knew about android was angry birds & YouTube app etc.
THANX A LOT!!!! :thumbup:

Yes this is all done on system version 6.3.2
once you install jelly bean you will never go back to that amazon boring launcher. running jelly bean on the kindle is llike having a whole new tablet.
Does it work with 6.3.2? Cant seem to make it work

right click on my computer icon/ manage/ device manager/ android/ and uninstal whats there while your KF is plugged in.
Reinstall the KFU drivers.

Hello,
I have rooted my kindle fire HD successfully twice now and after working well for a few days, it will unroot.
I used this process: http://androidforums.com/kindle-fire-hd-all-things-root/656683-root-kindle-fire-hd-7-a.html
I also used Kindle free to help install google services. I was going to install the paid version but if it keeps doing this I don't want to spend the money.
Why does it keep unrooting?
Thanks
Try and root it again and use this update-defeat script

So download the scriptmanager.apk file and install it on my kindle,Then follow the root process?
You need to root it first then follow the steps for the update-defeat.

Hi all, I've been doing my research for nearly a week now on unleashing my kindle fire into a full android tab,
What I can't seem to find is any info on whether I can root, and install a kitkat style Rom onto my software version,
I don't just want go launcher I've decided I want a new os and I like the system on my HTC one so I'd go as close to that as possible, any help would be greatly appreciated,
Will twrp, firefirefire and the kfu all work with my version? Many thanks

Well,the SoftKeyz app customises the normal AOSP navbar,but the Kindler's navbar is modified. Maybe that's why it can't be customised with SoftKeyz.

I know i have gotten it to work on omnirom but maybe it had to do with not having cm theming built.

I second this link. I have now rooted and put a custom ROM on two Kindle Fire HDs and have a third on it's way. I am getting this for just over $50 on eBay because they are blacklisted and can't be registered with Amazon. I put CM 11 on them and love it, they are a true android tablet now.
I'm glad someone got some use out of the updated images.
