willieboya,
I will be interested to see if you can get Bluetooth to work. I am sure the TI chipset
has Bluetooth enabled. Respond with your results.
Well all I have tried to do is install it but keeps saying failed. Wondering if maybe it's an authentication thing. Will have to see if I can edit the all and 're compile it. If I find out why, anyone with a little bit more experience and wisdom than me feel free to pitch in

Another idea is to contact TI, find out if the enable Bluetooth on that board. There are a number
of Android utilities that probe the motherboard, one is JFDP Labs Android Hardware
Info, you can get it on Google Play. Ahhh, I should have known this, you do not have the
XML installed, so the Kernel will not initialize it. I have attached the update to this thread
or you can download it here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Bluetooth%281%29.zip
Here we go, first unzip it, then copy:
Bluetooth.apk to /system/app
Bluetooth.odex to /system/app
Bluetooth folder to /system/etc
android.harware.bluetooth.xml to /system/etc/permissions
Reboot the Kindle.
Still getting the error, think I will l leave it to the more experienced developers lol. Thanks though for the help though

It must be turned off in the TI BIOS. We will contact TI and follow up next week.
Just noticed in the manifest it has a device Id for kindle fire hd so changed that to my id and will look in the rest of the xml files and change any references to my kindle id. Might have we hope yet lol

We just got a response from TI, "Bluetooth and Dolby are disabled at the hardware level on the Kindle Fire 2 7"
There is no way to enable these features on the Kindle Fire 2, period".
Sorry, I wish we had better news.

In other words you would need to wait on Amazon to release a new firmware version to activate it on the bios? Damon. Lol what bout by dongle and connection thru otg cable? Also anyone managed to get sky go to work on kindle?
Sent from my KFOT using xda app-developers app
Thats not it. I believe he means that its impossible, since the KF2 Doesnt have the Hardware. That means rhat, for example, it doesnt have a bluetooth transmiter or reciever

Willieboya,
No, it has been disabled at the TI board, thus they probably did not install the required Bluetooth
Transmitter and Receiver with antenna. The dongle idea may work, we are working on USB drivers
for both the Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire 2, IF we get these drivers functional, there will be
Bluetooth support. Our development team is looking to see if Amazon has the necessary
communication to the motherboard - my development team believes everything is there,
so look for a driver within the next 4 to 6 months. We spend a large amount of the time
Quality testing our drivers, so this is the reason for the delay. Next, when you say
"sky go" do you mean the Sky Go Launcher?
No sky go is in uk for streaming sky television to android devices. The app can install on kindle fire but when you click on a tv station it says the device is not supported. Obviously sky hasn't been developing for tablets thus the reason for not being supported but just wondering if any devs would be able to adapt it to suit our kindle
Sent from my KFOT using xda app-developers app
Just curious why it says this chip has Bluetooth capability then? Did they actually modify the chip to not work or is it that it needs kernel drivers to work. Just wondering because they did manage to get Bluetooth going on a kindle fire 1st gen but the range was really bad like 3 inches max

rockystar000,
Great question! The TI OMAP4430 chipset includes Bluetooth through the TI WiLink.
I suspect Amazon has TI build a "custom WiLink" excluding the Bluetooth connectivity. Now, either way, the
Core OMAP4430 does have Bluetooth, GPS and FM Radio connectivity and communication paths. Having said
this, we would be able to initialize the Bluetooth through software but without the TI WiLink, I am not sure it
would work. I suspect we will drill down the answer in the next 6 months, when our developers have less to
do. Right now our developers are focusing on other options on the Kindle Fire. Maybe someone else will
have better luck.

I have attached a copy of the Sky Go application to this response. There is a problem with
the application on the Kindle. When the Sky application is launched on the Kindle an error
is displayed "Technical error occurred", then closes. maybe you will be able to solve the bug?
If you can not see the attachment, you can get a copy through this link:

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.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
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.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
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.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
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.
app
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.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
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.

Credit for the APK goes to B00sted
In the android market (google play) there is a timewarner cable app that lets you watch live tv on your android device, but only if you have an ICS device and you are not rooted. YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE A TIMEWARNER CABLE INTERNET AND TELEVISION SUBSCRIBER. Well i found in the galaxy nexus forums someone changed the APK around to allow rooted devices. So now on my kindle fire I am watching live tv. FYI I am usuing GedeRom 3/15.
Link for the APK

Also just to note, the original APK is free.

I tested my AT&T Uverse app earlier today and it works as well on my KF as it does on my GNex. Pretty cool.
I don't know how lucky, it seems like half the time it's kinda laggy, could be a bandwidth problem on my part
When trying to launch I keep getting:
"We aplogize we're unable to fulfill your request at this time. Please try again later if the problem persists... etc"
Anyone else getting this right now?

Has anyone had this working? It uses your iphone's GPS to provide a android device with GPS ability. If not, don't download it right now, SocketGPS force closes on my kindle fire running either CM7 or GedeROM 1.45
I don't have enough posts to post a outside link, but look up GPS 2 IP in the apple app store and SocketGPS in the android store
I had been in touch with the developer directly for few months now. He is aware of the fc but not sure what causes. He is coming from IOS and not android. He had asked me to send him the log of transactions to determine the cause/fix. I have no clue where to extract. If you know please do so.

Not using Socket GPS, but using Telnet. Telent does not link to any map application, such as Google maps, but only lists the signals received in latitude and longitude.

Someone here at XDA has the update (I forgot who), why not ask them? :fingers-crossed:
I'm guessing it's probably just some bug fixes like 7.3.1, or something minor along those lines.

KIndle Fire HD Update is happening
Updated to 10.3.2? It seems there is even a NEWER update! :crying:
There is a new update for KF & KF HD!
KF2: 10.4.1
KF HD 7: 7.4.1
KF HD 8.9: 8.4.1
Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...x36E18S96DJXEU
Here is what it says:
"We have a new, free software update available for Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, Kindle Fire HD 7", and Kindle Fire HD 8.9: In addition to bug fixes and performance improvements, the software update adds the following features to your Kindle Fire:
* Language Support for Canadian English and Canadian French - You can now change your device language to Canadian English and Canadian French.
* Show Battery Percentage in the Status Bar - You can now see the total percentage of battery life left when you enable this feature from the Device menu."
"This update automatically downloads and installs for Kindle Fire 7", Kindle Fire HD 7" and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" customers; however, you can also manually download the software and update your device using the USB cable."
. . . According to some of the posts at the site, it seems to add a digital battery meter, but not many other differences for the user (unless you're Canadian, then you get a more robust language package).
I have not been updated, but I am running Kinology now, and also my update file has been renamed!
But after root I have 1 black screen in Apex launcher. Anybody have problems like that? Methods to overcome? Please Help. Thank you very much

Anyway rooting was easy used UnlockRoot.com free rooting application and it seems work, superuser is back and working fine :laugh:
Now I need to find out what service is Making the wallpaper black and, tried many apps to counter it but it just blacks everything out, dont fancy installing a new Rom as the amazon Rom works fine ( with another launcher ) Plus the fact I use the kindle as a kindle, so the ugly interface is handy to keep.
If anyone has solved it please post it, as I miss my Wallpaper!!!

I would like to know that too. I'm on 3.2.5 though and not getting much feedback. I would rather not rollback. But I really want root. As I said, I do like the Fire OS. So just want to root it and play around with it for a while. It is better than my N10. But I need Google apps and to get rid of the proprietary stuff so I can do my tech stuff on the fly. I use my phone or laptop. They aren't always convenient. The Kindle seems perfect for what I do. 3 weeks I've had it and still no root. Amazon apps are usually older and they don't have a lot that I need
I have a 8.9 hdx and I just rooted and installed google play today. I am also on the same software version as you. I used towel root.
