Hi. Thinking about CPU and the big screen, I think it will be very nice to have Ubuntu in Adam. What do you think?
Also I won't want to lose Eden. So I think we need something like HTC HD2 owners have. (They can start Ubuntu from the SD card like they opening a normal application as far as I saw) What do you think? Can it be possible for our Adam tablet too?
Anything is possible just put ur mind into it

It should be similar with HTC HD2. The good thing is, their project is open source

Please let me know when a good solution is found. I am keen to have it on my Adam.
That way, I don't need to worry about the warranty issue?
I would love to see this too. Really hope that some developer here can port the ubuntu to Adam. Please please please please
Why will you install Ubuntu on Adam? Is the new Maverick Meerkat fully mature on the touchscreen?
A lot of stuff needed here. I'll make a place holder in Development section with some necessary steps and such.
If anyone wants to make this happen though we need Eden Plus to be successful as full root and unlock will be required. Help out with that process first and then we can focus on Ubuntu.
if you install natty dont forget to pin libc6 to 2.12
Ubuntu port on Adam
Check this one if it helps...

Also, I saw some activity regarding Ubuntu port to Adam on NIH and tabletroms, some while ago.
Lets hope that this comes together eventually. I'd love to try it out on Adam
Hi, I too am waiting to see the development move ahead. It seems the attention is on Honeycomb these days.
$25 for the person recognized as having ported Ubuntu successfully on the Adam, either here or on TabletROMs.
kinda tired of android
I'm kinda tired of android. I just got an HP Veer and webOS is pretty nice. Only issues I have had so far is posting to message boards like what am doing right now. I got through it but had some trouble. Sorry off topic
I have loaded ubuntu onto my adam following the steps on the dev thread. I can't post there because I new here. Well I'm not new here I just don't post much. I've been reading posts for six months now but rules must be followed! Again off topic.
Ubuntu works. I have a question. I was trying to install a USB ethernet device and ran
Code:
modprobe --list
and came up with
Code:
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32.9/modules.dep
I looked and only found a /lib/modules/2.6.32-1208-omap4 directory. I might have screwed up a symlink and I was hoping someone could let me know where the modules.dep file should link to.
Still waiting for tillum, rayman and paronnax to resume their work on ubuntu, especially now that nVIDIA have released the first alpha of Linux4Tegra 12, based on Natty.
I read this post by Tillum on the Ubuntu Methods development thread.
It is very disheartening to note that developers have lost interest, but that was inevitable given the low volumes and disappointment associated with the tablets. On the other hand, quite a few of us users are interested in getting a real operating system on the Adam.
I am sure that any successful port would be easily transferable to other Tegra 2 devices as well, and so efforts won't be wasted.
If we can help in any way, just let us know.
Ok so first and foremost, I own a samsung captivate, so I know a little about android. I've rooted it.
Now I'm looking to enter the tablet scene. Being a college student, I'm looking for cheap ones lol. I've seen a video on youtube with someone running cyanogenmod 7 with working sound on the kindle fire and so i found that to be my best bet on getting the most out of a cheap tablet.
reading up on the rooting for the KF, I found people with version 6.2.2 to have met a lot of issues.
I Plan on ordering one later this month, so I'm putting my guess on it'll be in the latest version (6.2.2) and that gives me the caution that makes me write this post
anyways what are your (the experts from XDA - being anyone not me) thoughts, and advice for me to avoid bricking and ruining a 200 buck investment (or perhaps 180 if i get refurbished)?
i bought kindle fire when the 1st time it released. during that time, superoneclick is the utility to root, now with new firmware, we can use burritoroot.. so far i haven't heard total bricked issue (i think so). common problem usually bootloop, stuck in bootloader. etc but all can be fixed... i think no need to be afraid. i already root, unroot, install various recovery, backup, restore backup, etc and not a single problem.
if u want to install cm7, that is a good choice but some minor bugs still exist but so far cm7 is most stable compare to other custom rom (except "custom stock" rom)..
The Kindle Fire is a great choice. I have two (one for my wife) and have loved every minute with them. I ran the factory rom for all of 2 weeks before rooting and eventually settling on CM9. I really enjoy the ice cream sandwich version despite the minor bugs. These are very quickly disappearing as the wonderful devs are pounding away the code to make our life better.
So as a college student get a kindle they are cheep and I have found to be very robust. Then quickly ditch the horrible and limited kindle rom. CM7 or CM9 is a fine choice you will be happy with your sweet tablet. I get comments on mine all the time.
Awesome, you guys are reassuring me with making this purchase.
I'm quite intrigued by the comparison of CM7 and CM9.
any personal opinion on the difference? (I'm watching youtube videos now, but I like cutting down false feedback from trolls in the comments lol.)

CM7 is stable and work flawlessly for me
CM9 is (yet) in experimental phase
If you want to make experiments with your rom, take CM9
If you just want to flash rom and forget about it, take CM7
I have no problem helping people out, and I hate to be the prude who calls you out, but there are tons of threads just like yours already in the forum which people have already answered. Basically you want a tutorial, which there are many of in the forums, but you instead made a new post. In the future, spend more than 5 minutes in the forums before calling out for help.
Nothing to it, see sig. Plenty of threads to help. Search and yea shall find, or browse a little.

._. I've done research for about 3 days...
As stated, most stuff Read up on was about version 2.2.1 which people used burrito1 for.
after KF was updated, I ran across the instructions to use burrito2 or 3, in which case upon searching, 3/4th of the posts found was "I'm having problems"
I simply wanted to take an extra precaution before making a big jump in a budget... I apologize if that seemed redundant to the people who take the time out to aid people like me, but I assure I thank you all regardless of this point ^^ .

good point. The price point on the KG has brought a flood of noobs who don't understand forum etiquette. And there are plenty of posts that offer bad help. I am like you and spent five days reading and bookmarking and rereading. Do all the root with adb and not the scripts is my best advice. Good luck.

I’m a noob – LOVED the video
Hello, I have a ton of questions, but, after watching the registration video I would feel guilty if I asked any of them! So I’m writing just to introduce myself. My name is Valerie. I am a software engineer by education (and 15 years experience) but now I am a system engineer and I’ve been away from computer geekiness for about 6 years. I have just bought a Kindle Fire and I am excited to embark on an adventure back to geekdom.
My purchase of a KF was motivated by a) the discovery of an equestrian app that I would like to have that is available for the Android, b) the price point of the KF, and c) the knowledge that the KF can be rooted.
However, since I am new to the whole Kindle and Android world (I do not own any Android devices), there is a lot of terminology and slang that I am unfamiliar with. I am reading the KFFB, and the supplement to KFFB that describes how to root/install a ROM, unroot/revert to stock, etc. and trying to absorb them, but I think I’ll have to read them a couple of times before they really sink in.
My goal is to load the latest Android operating system (Jelly Bean?) on my KF and be able to run all the fun Android apps.
What is a little bit confusing is to me right now is the fact that there are multiple descriptions of the steps in the rooting process available on the web, each with its own list of required software utilities that you must obtain first, and I don’t have warm fuzzy feeling that I know exactly which process is the most up-to-date, and which process is the best one for me to use. But, I shall keep reading. If someone can point me to the most up-to-date source, that would be awesome and I would be most grateful
I also have a general question about sideloading. If I sideload a non-Amazon Kindle Fire app before I do the rooting, can I still run that app afterwards? Since Kindle Fire is based upon Android 2.3, the idea of running a Kindle app vs. an Android app is still a little confusing. The basic question of “Isn’t a “Kindle” app already an “Android” app?” is stuck in my mind. Oh well, as I said, I’ll keep reading …
Anyway, I just wanted to say Hello and I can’t wait to root my KF but I want to make sure I have all the right info before I do.
Thanks,
Valerie

I am a noob myself, also loved the video, but I have rooted my KF and flashed to gedeROM (LOVING IT)
In my experience, which is definitely not all encompassing, all apps I had loaded before flashing were still there. I believe as long as you don't do a system restore (hope I'm right here) your apps will stay put.
Also, I used Kindle Fire Utilities to do most everything, and except for a hitch with returning the KF to normal boot, had no issues at all. After doing it all once, I flashed back to stock to just make sure I could, and then cleared everything and started fresh with gederom again. After you've done it all once, you can do the whole process is about 5 minutes, from root to boot. It really is so much simpler in practice than the steps make it sound...once you've done it, you'll understand.
Oh, and as far as apps downloaded through the Kindle Store. After flashing a new rom, you may need to download the amazon appstore and install it to keep using those apps (I had to.) Once that was done, I was able to use them.
If I've gotten anything wrong here, I will correct or remove it as needed, as this is all from my limited experience
Hi noobs! Figured I'd step on in this room because I to am a noob wait, this is a thread I think? Anyway rooting is really easy... Just go to...

KindleFireGuy,
This is still a work in progress and depends on many factors so do not get too excited. Eventually, we will offer this ROM although we are hoping to collaborate with others in this community who specialize in custom ROMs since we want to share the ROM, not keep it exclusively.
As soon as Canonical Ubuntu authorizes the release of the platform, we will make it available to developers first, the the end user. Having said this, we are a ways off.
Focus our efforts on CM10, Hashcode has developed a beautiful ROM for the Kindle Fire 2, I am sure he will release on for the HD 8.9" soon as well. This is what we need to be excited about - Ubuntu is a very different approach that requires docks for the home office that are not fully supported yet. When the manufacturs begin to offer a wide array of Docs then Ubuntu will be ready to launch.
We will post an official response when we are authorized to release Ubuntu.

For anyone who has purchased the new Kindle Fire HD7 (KFSOWI) please be aware this is not the same device as the 2012 Kindle Fire HD7 (KFTT) and therefore none of the advice posted in this forum is applicable.
I'm posting this before we see multiple posts re bricked devices from people who have been misled by Amazon's naming conventions.
Link to Amazon's specs for all their Kindle devices are here. Its pretty easy to identify what device you have.
https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/specifications.html
IMO This device should be included in the HDX forum along with the other two 3rd gen devices. I've just acquired my first Kindle (KFSOWI) and am loving it but quickly became aware that there is very little support for it on XDA.
It would also be useful if Amazon's device naming conventions were followed in the various Kindle threads. This is the practice for other devices listed on XDA. eg International SGSiii is GTI9300, US LTE Version GTI9305 etc...
Perhaps a mod could look at this and sort it out?
EDIT - I have started a new thread in the HDX forum for discussion of the KFSOWI as i think it would be best discussed in that forum. Link

Good post. Hopefully others have read around the forum and seen the many other posts noting that none of the newer Kindle's have any root or other exploits available. I suppose an official sticky type of warning would not be such a bad idea though.

Good to know! It's so confusing, Amazon UK currently have the 16 GB Fire HD on sale for £99, but it seems unclear which version that is. It lists a front-facing camera and microphone, so presumably it's the older model? Still, if there's a chance of getting the other one it wouldn't be worth the risk for me. CM still sounds kid of buggy on the KFTT anyway, so a Hudl might be the better option.
It says last generation right on the title of ad. Also, no camera and no HDMI output for 2013 KFHD firmware 11.xxx

Thank you for this clarification, thought I could save money with a kindlefire hd but i lost 100bucks and got a useless piece of plastic.
Now I can stop loosing time try to root it for 1 weeks , good luck for the new devices root research !
EDIT : after little reading it seems HDX got rooted today ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542508 )
Does anybody may now if this root works also on KFSOWI 11.3.1.0 ? ( since KFSOWI got same OS it might maybe work ? )
At the moment it's only working on the 8.9 hdx (KFAPWA & KFAPWI). But it's only a matter of time before the other 2 new devices have root as well. I would advise owners of all 3 devices to use the hdx forum as that is where all the development for these devices will occur.
EDIT - I have started a new thread in the HDX forum for discussion of the KFSOWI as i think it would be best discussed in that forum. Link
