Has anyone found a way to get the Kindle app installed without rooting? Just curious.
ROFL, never going to happen.

I did a search and didn't find anything. Does anyone know of anything like this?
Never mind. Got it figured out

I just downloaded the Stable Free one.
No root required.
I am using the cm7 rom on my kindle fire. The one that whistlestop posted. I am trying to use an app from the Android market. I can download it to my fire but when I open it I get the message that it is not supported on this device. I know I read that it is not supported on tablets, but I was curious if I can "disguise" my tablet to look like an Android phone that is supported by the app. Thanks.

Which app are you trying to install? Have you tried getting the APK for it and manually installing it?
It is AppRedeem. On the info page the app says it does not currently support Android tablets but I wasnt sure if I could make my fire appear to be an Android phone so it will work. I have downloaded it from the market and I have also manually installed via adb with the apk but when I open the app it tells me it is not supported on my device.

Well I did some editing on my prop and manage to get my device to appear as a Samsung phone in the market but still no luck with getting the app to see my fire as a phone.

When I go to the Market it says it is compatible with the Kindle Fire both in stock and ICS. Just thought you might find that interesting.

Have you tried cm7 or miui? Both are phone roms tweaked a bit for phones and could possibly solve the problem. I think that the problem isn't making your kindle look like a phone because that would only allow you to download the app which you already did. Good luck
There is thread about getting apps to work on the ICS roms. I was gonna do some editing to see if I can get whatsapp to run on cm7. Same thing, tablets not supported.

Disregard that editing nonsense. Another thread specifically about whatsapp said to backup the app on a running phone with titanium backup and then send the three backed up files to the fire and restore app+ data. Worked perfectly.

Thanks guyute74. I dont have an android phone so I cant do it myself. If anyone with an android phone and titanium wanted to back it up and send me the files I would really appreciate it. Shoot me a pm and I can give you my email.

This thread is about humorous. You finish off this sentence starting with "you know you're rooted when..." the rest is up to you
Ill give an example
You know you're rooted when you're running ice cream sandwich before amazon knows about it.

you know your rooted when you have a $200 Ereader playing shadowgun and gta3 like a champ!
You know you're rooted when you have got playstore and superuser showing up on your home screen
And you look like a total boss because your running Cyanogenmod 9 and the guy with a NOOK next to you isn't.

You know your rooted when your phone is faster than superman on crack.
Oops im in the kindle thread.
You know your rooted when you can play draw something on kindle and your friends cant.
You know your rooted when you forget which xda thread your in.

You know you're rooted when, while using your iPod touch, you keep hitting "P" to backspace.
You know you're rooted when you wish you could send fastboot commands from your Android to fix your computer.

You know that you are rooted when you look at a ROM you just downloaded and can't remember which one of your devices it was for.
you know you're rooted when you spend more time tinkering to try to get everything "just right" than you spend enjoying it being "just right"
I've finally decided to return my broken kindle fire for a new one, under warranty. It should be here tomorrow.
I haven't used a kindle fire in a couple months, and when I was using it, it was rooted with some rom that I completely forgot.
What I want to know is, what rom should I use, that is the most stable?
I've been hearing good things about Jellybean, but I just want to be 100% sure.
Any suggestions?
Also, a Kindle Fire case suggestion would be nice, but is not needed. Really just want a rom suggestion.

Yea, I heard that case is very stable. :laugh:
Yea, I'd say go with Jandycane or Hashcode's AOSP ROM. I think Hashcode's is a bit more stable (from my experience), however Jandycane does have more features, and a Tablet UI.
the Eye Candy Rom is pretty amazing.

ROM-Jandycane
Update is fast. User friendly UI
Jandycane. Updates frequently, has a tablet UI like ics, works perfectly, and is fully jelly bean.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using Jandycane ROM v 1.6
I would say to give twa_priv's rom a try also. It's a cm10 rom and you can toggle tablet ui in settings.
sent from my Kindle Fire running CM10 Jelly Bean
I am also going to recommend twa_priv's CM10 ROM.
Jandycane is so smooth. I recommend it.
And, Apex Launcher is a good home application for jelly bean.
Off course, why not install xda-application

All,
I've got the cm10.1 ROM on my fire and I love the keyboard where you can long press for numbers. The Nexus 7 doesn't have this stock, curiously, so I tried to pull the apk from the fire and it would install and even show up in the settings but I whenever I brought up the keyboard it didn't have the numbers. I did some searching but couldn't find anything. Any thoughts on how I could get this AOSP keyboard for the N7 w/o root?
Thanks peterb

Personally, id just change the layout of the stock keyboard to PC. I find out significantly more convenient to have the dedicated fourth row of number keys than having to long press.

How does one do that? I don't see that in any of the options menus.

OK, I figured out how to do that with the input settings menu. I've got to say, I'm not all that excited about the PC layout even though it looks like it would be perfect for a 10" tablet I think that the N7 is a bit too small. Still hoping to be able to get the keyboard from the CM10.1/SGT7 rom.

Found the answer. I did an adb pull and grabbed the LatinLME.apk from the fire. I then pushed it to the Nexus 7 to sdcard. I then opened up my file manager and it installed. Once installed I originally couldn't figure out how to activate it. I figured out that if you go into the language and input settings you can change the default to the AOSP keyboard you just installed and are then good to go. While I could have rooted it I'm wanting to keep it stock to keep getting otas. The fire is for flashing ROMs
Hope this helps someone else.
