Anyone have a link to where I can find working pvr module source for the Kindle Fire HD (either the 7" or 8.9" variety)?
In hashcode's kernel sources for cm... The module is built during kernel compilation as its sources are part of the kernels.

So I know the usb host drivers have been deactivated for the KF. Has anyone determined where they are or how to activate/install them. That would be a great feature to add for us rooted ppl who haven't flashed a new Rom.

USB host would be one of the nicer additions to the Fire HD 8.9, wonder if anyone has come up with a way to enable it ?
USB Host
Hmmm, good idea. If Amazon did not disable this function in the Kernel it would be just a matter of finding a Ice Cream Sandwich USB apk and probably a couple of libs
I spent about 30 minutes trying to find this on Google without any luck. I have another idea! I have ordered the new Samsung Tablet which runs ICS, when it arrives I will take a peek in the system to see if I can find these files.
I will post my follow up in about 1 week.

We have been working on this on and off for the last 3 weeks, and have made significant progress. We will post an update as soon as we get this working.

Gilly10,
We are finding it a bit challenging since it is clear Amazon had no intention of ever using this port for external devices, so they do not have a power feed like other Mini USB Ports - either way, we have figured out how to get past that issue, now we are working on the driver to use on the Kindle Fire. We will post an update as soon as we have a definitive solution.

Someone has a working method on the KF2 that might be portable to our device.

Geekybiker,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us a link. The link you are referring to is:
Device: Kindle Fire 2
Rooted and TWRP'ed with the Nightly of CM10.1 1-20-2013
The link you is very different to what we are attempting to do. We are trying to enable the USB Host subsystem with the stock OS and Kernel, which in the end may not be possible. Most custom Kernels have enable the USB Host as nFiniti discusses in the link provided. Also, the link is focusing on the Kindle Fire 2 only we are discussing all Kindle Fires in this thread.

Right, but it talks about how to get around the power issue for example. I assume you've downloaded the open source kernel directly from Amazon? I was looking through all of the drivers they included, and it looks like the USB host drivers exist in the distribution. They must not be turned on by default. Might be as simple as recompiling the kernel, but I admit I'm a complete n00b when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Geekybiker,
Although our love is Ubuntu, at the moment the only version of Ubuntu for the Kindle is the current desktop which is worthless on the Kindle. We are waiting for Ubuntu to release Ubuntu for Android which will be a nice custom platform for the end user that will allow you to use your Phone or Tablet as your primary computer at night and during the day, it is a normal powerful phone. Having said this, we will be compiling a Ubuntu Eternal for the Kindle when we are authorize to do so. Until then, we are placing most of our energy on improving the stock Kindle OS - you are correct, it should be a matter of compiling the Kernal to include the USB Subsystem, although if it was that easy someone would have done it by now. This has become a challenging task and may not become reality until we build or someone else builds a custom Kernel for the Kindle Fire.
We will post updates as we make progress. I do know XDA User Hashcode has done some amazing work for the Kindle Fire, maybe he is working on this option (if anyone can get this done it would be Hashcode) for his Kindle Kernel - only time will tell............

You really should give credit to the devs that developed the kernel as well as the files you're using. Especially since you're using Hascodes files and seohhun's tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVuvR-hHOLE&feature=youtu.be
Hascode (his kernel and files) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
seokhun (his tutorial) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
You should credit to Bin4ry for the root and restore tool and TWRP for the custom recovery.
You may want to include that only TWRP images that are modified by Hascode can be used on the Kindle series tablets.
Overall the video is well done. I liked it. You may catch a little heat if you don't give a little props to those who deserve it though.
Hello I'm new here.
I want to run Cyanogenmod instead of Fire OS on my Fire HD 10 (5th) Model: SR87CV.
Right now the system is Fire OS 5.3.1.0.
Please can someone help me with a tutorial/guide, I have no clue how to flash or something.
I really don't like the original Fire OS.

What would need to be done in order to open up ROM development for the Fire HD 10 (5th gen)?
Is it still not possible to root Fire OS 5.3.1.0 on my Fire HD 10 2015?
There are so many CVE's that people could abuse.
That would be so sick if I could flash linux on it, I'm so sad.
Is there no way to bruteforce the bootloader? ?

No way to exploit your Fire tablet's bootloader to gets cracked
You can use your Fire tablet as:
-> Digital Clock
-> Android app debugger (If your PC doesn't have a virtualization technology to run Android virtual device in Android Studio)
-> Android Auto head unit
-> Smart display
-> MIDI controller (If you don't have a money to buy a MIDI controller. Use your old Fire tablet as a MIDI keyboard in digital audio workstation or stand-alone virtual instruments)

Hi - If I debloat my Fire HD 10, 7th Gen, will it support multiple users/profiles?
Does it effectively become stock Android? What version? 8?
Thanks, Rick

This Fire tablet is not supporting multiple users because the Fire OS is useless and have a greater risk to security threats.
You have to use LineageOS:
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/rom-lineage-12-1-t3953677
Upgrade to Android 7.1.2 Nougat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/rom-lineage-14-1-t3973703
If your Fire tablet isn't rooted. You can unlock and root it using exploit (follow the steps carefully): https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/unlock-fire-hd-10-2017-suez-t3913639
There is no Android 8.x Oreo for your Fire HD 10 (suez).
So do you know if my Fire would then support multiple users, like this: https://www.howtogeek.com/333484/how-to-set-up-multiple-user-profiles-on-android/ ?
Unfortunately that is one thing that I really need on the tablet.
Thank you, Rick

It will support multiple users with LineageOS, as @AmznUser444 Dev pointed you toward.
