It would be good to se SuperNote for Kindle Fire, unfortunately it runs but it is designed for 10'' screens and it doesn't fit into the Fire display.
Is there any setting to resize it?
Thank You
nothing?
I would venture to guess you would need a rooted Transformer with Titanium Backup installed to rip the APK off of it. That still wouldn't assure it would work on anything else.
Alternatively, you could write Asus and ask them to make the app public...but I'm guessing they would send you a form letter that says something like "Thank you for your interest in Asus products. At this time it is only available on <insert list of devices>."

i want to order a kindle fire but i am not sure if it will work here in the uk as it is not for me but for a family member the person would just use the device as stock
Stock right now,the KF would not be a good choice for use in the UK. They would have a hard time accessing any media. Amazon app store and the Amazon cloud would not work.

Right, in the UK you'd be unable to access the media stores. Too much conflict in copyright stuff between here and there.
I believe I heard the Kindle would burst into flames once it crossed US borders...
I'm quite sure the Kindle would work perfectly fine elsewhere.
I've been having a blast with it for over a week and haven't touched a single amazon based feature, which I believe would be the only place you'd have issues.

Yeah, if you had media to fill it yourself and could use your cloud account for music in the UK (don't see why you couldn't) then yeah that would work. But a lot are likely buying it due to them already buying into Amazon services. If his friend was going to hack it, that's be one thing, but stock currently I'm not sure it's the best choice outside the US as none of the Amazon features work.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you could find uses for it, I just think that your tablet would be a bit more crippled stock without Amazon services than other possible choices, at least currently. So I'll say it honestly depends on what your friend would get out of it.
I'm using one here in Brazil, so I guess you would have the same experience I have.
All Amazon stuff are useless, except Kindle for books (the same Android app you install in any device). You even can't install other Apps because Amazon App Store blocks everything outside US (even free apps).
The only useful thing you can do to a Fire outside the US is to install third-party apps and root your device to make it like any other Android device. And I loved it for that: a cheap Android tablet, open, unblocked, and easy to hack. Everything I wanted.
The reality is that you'll be buying an Android tablet, not a Kindle as it is in America.
I got the amazon apps to work outside the us using us address and test card.I have rooted and installed aneroid market aswell.Just waiting for touch recovery and then the fun will start.
thanks for the info i will just buy the normal transformer or a ipad
it is possibile to have Kindle Fire working fully outside US using for example unblock-us.
With fully i mean, cloud, streaming content (audio, video, books, etc), amazon app store, etc.

Yes, i can confirm. Using unblock-us is the solution, i use it in Germany and it works fine.
Hi Devs,
I've just rooted my friends Kindle Fire and successfully installed the Android market. She forwarded an article from the internet that stated that someone had successfully ported the Nook Color Rom onto a Kindle Fire.
Is it possible? And if so where I can find the Modded Rom.
Thanks in advance for enlightenment.
Proud Gtab owner!
Link the article, I'm curious.
Check here for all development for the Kindle Fire, regardless.
And as a final note, why would you want to do this? Just get the Nook Color...
Lies. Only rom so far is a very alpha Cyanogenmod 7.

Where in this article is there any mention of porting the Nook to the Fire? This is an old article that only relates to getting google market and other google apps running on it.
Considering that the main benefits to having a Nook over a Fire relate to hardware (more internal storage, slightly better display, etc), this seems like an odd request that's not worth the trouble, essentially moving from one walled garden to another.
Rad3,
First, thanks for confirming that I'm crazy for telling my co-worker that the idea is not of much benefit. Second, I think she just wants to take a cheap tablet and run it like a more expensive one. And Finally, I just cut and pasted the e-mail verbatum with her comment included.
I didn't see anywhere in the artical where it stated that the conversion was possible either but her statement which I included was what sparked my request for information.
Thanks again. If the question comes up again I can offer to flash CM7 but that's it.

Understand - though again the differences between the 'cheap' tablet and the 'more expensive' one lie in either hardware or the inability to subsidize as much, making the Nook more expensive. Once you get past hardware, I'd trend to think that you get more with the Kindle Fire.
Oh well...
I am a tablet nomad, always changing and upgrading. I am selling my 10.1" galaxy for an Asus Chromebook. Now I am looking at going from a 6" kindle fire to a new 7" Nook tablet. I just do not like the kindle ecosystem. It looks like the new nook will let me install the kindle app from the Play Store. I find the 10 inch for factor too large for books so I am using a smaller tablet for kindle, nook and my Bible reading. I'll let you know how it works out.
Now to wait for someone to root it. I'm pretty sure illness stick with Stock rooted.

Hi all!
I've always found this forum extremely useful, but it's the first time I find the topic I'm interested in is't already touched. Let's change that.
I want to read on my watch.
I see there are several apps to do that on Android Wear; however you have to load text files to them. Instead, most of my books are on the Amazon Kindle platform; which unfortunately doesn't seem to support wear at all, nor it supports exporting its books to anywhere else at all.
After researching, it seems I have two options:
1) buy a full Android watch-phone, like the No.1 D6
2) buy an Android Wear device and try to sideload the Amazon Kindle app
Both options come at about 100$ of cost, give or take.
Downside of full Android: they usually are made by shady Chinese companies; it's common to have them even blatantly lie on specs, so it's really a bet on the quality of what I'll get. What is sure is that most use an outdated version of Android; 4.4 is the most common and 5.1 the most recent I could find.
On the upside there is probably more choice of forms and size.
Downsize of Wear is of course that I'd have to hack it; no problem with that, but I'd like to have some idea of what are my odds of succeeding before spending a somewhat relevant amount of money. Several apps are known to work, but several others crash, and for all my searching, I couldn't find someone having attempted to sideload the Kindle app.
What do you guys think?

I have not, but I know what I'm doing
I didn't mention it since it's not directly related to the problem, but i plan on using the "word runner" feature of the Kindle app.
When I use it on the phone it feels like a waste... it literally only uses an area which is roughly that of a watch! Hence the idea.
There are plenty of apps doing this on Wear... but as I said, no way to get Kindle books there.
I haven't tried, but how difficult is it to hack the kindle e-book format? maybe you can bust your text free.
I will try to install Kindle on my Ticwatch E today.
I tested a few things on my Ticwatch E which is a Wear OS (formerly Android Wear 2.0) watch. I can confirm that the Kindle app does not work. You can access your Kindle books on the web with the Kindle Cloud Reader at www.read.amazon.com. I installed many web browsers on the watch, but the only one that worked was FireFox. It did not work completely. I was able to access www.read.amazon.com, but it was slow and I couldn't scroll the web page up and down. It was unusable. You can convert your Kindle books to PDFs with a program called EPUB converter. I would guess that you could succeed with the Kindle app and the Kindle cloud reader on a Chinese Android watch. I, however, think that it's not worth $100 for a Chinese Android watch (except maybe a Ticwatch 2). If those Chinese watches were about $50, I would probably get one. I am very happy with my Ticwatch E which costs about $150. Hope this helped.
Hello Guys,
I am new here and I just got an old Kindle Fire HD 10 Gift from a friend who said he doesn’t need it anymore.
So I had set it up, put my account to it and found….. It is sooo bloated with all that amazon stuff… It’s ridiculous…. I would say that I do not need like 80% of that stuff and totally miss like google mail, proper YouTube app and a lot more I have not found until now.
So I was looking now for like 3 days, whenever I had the time to search for it, if there is a custom Rom for the Kindle, or maybe root to get Google on the Kindle or how it is to be done to get apps maybe from my phone to the kindle.
Amazon made it really hard for users who are not sucked into the amazon universe to actually enjoy the Kindle, don’t they?
I have a bunch of paid apps in Google, they seem to be all useless now… what really kind of bugs me, because I had hoped to use the kindle as a comic book reader, where I use Comicat on android… no idea if kindle can even open them, but I’ll have to try.
So I would like to ask, are there some ways to root an Kindle Fire HD 10 with Fire OS 5.6.1.0 ? If so, how to do that and are there Custom Roms that would give a more basic Android feel?
I only found mostly some tutorials for 7” and 8”, but rarely for the 10” Tablet and nearly always for other Fire OSes.
So every help would be REALLY appreciated!
Follow this tutorial to get root https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/tut-fire-hd-10-7th-gen-2017-root-box-t3726443
To make it more stock like after you have rooted you can remove apps using root
You can also install google play store + apps from it by following this https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/how-to-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603
You can also replace the default launcher with another like Nova but at the moment it uses a hack to get around a limitation even on root (Launcher Hijack)
You can also install xposed and there is modules on that which should give back some of your missing features https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/hd-10-2017-xposed-t3722252
At the moment there is no custom rom but some are in development.

Awesome, thank you very much, I will check everything and hope to have the Kindle a bit more.... Userfriedly, well, MEfriendly.
It would be indeed really cool if there is at least a bit I can do. Otherwise the Kindle would become more like an Videoplayer for my Kids than anything else... this would be a bit o a waste, as the device itself seems pretty nice.
Edit: The first and third Tutorial are for the 7th Gen HD8/10 Tablets, I have the 5th Gen. Wont there be a problem??

Sorry for a late reply.
I'm not sure whether it works or not on older tablets, but there won't be a problem. Try it, I'm 99% sure that your tablet will be perfectly okay even it failed, because I tried that and failed, but I'm sending this from my tablet.
Good Luck! :good:
