http://androidforums.com – Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can help. My mother-in-law was bought a Kindle Fire for xmas and after playing with it it isnt the most user friendly experience. Just wondering if there are any good launchers that will give an easy to use interface that I can install? Possibly to make it look and feel like more like an iOS device as she is used to apple products. Also is it recommended to use Getjar for apps or is it an untrusted site? Many Thanks in advance (General)

Welcome Kindle Fire 2 Users 32 weeks 14 hours ago

The Kindle Fire 2 is now a part of the 7" Kindle Fire HD forum.

In terms of software, the Kindle Fire 2 is much closer to the 7" Kindle Fire HD than the original Kindle Fire. The two are similarly equipped with locked bootloaders, run ICS and share the same rooting method. Consequently, the KF2 has now been made a part of this 7" KF HD forum.

SWF to Kindle Fire converter can help Kindle Fire users play Flash SWF files on Kindle Fire by converting SWF videos to Kindle Fire supported MP4.

I have both a Kindle Fire HD and a Nexus 7. I've sideloaded several apps from the Nexus to the Kindle fire - that's no problem. What I wonder is if anyone has done the opposite? The Kindle app on the Nexus 7 is not as good in that:It does not offer the text to speech option Bookmarking leaves a lot to be desired Note taking isn't as good I use my Nexus to proofread ebooks before releasing them.

We live in Australia and bought a Kindle Fire from the new Australian Kindle website for our grandson which seems to be a big mistake, he is not able to purchase apps through Amazon (even free), without a USA Credit Card, nor is he able to purchase from Google Play, seems he needs more software. I feel I should help him as we have purchased one each for two other grandchildren which we purchased

  If you’ve been hankering for a brand-spanking new Amazon Kindle Fire or Amazon Kindle Fire HD, today is a good day for you. Amazon has officially listed both products as available on its website and is now ready for consumers’ wallets nationwide.

My Kindle Fire 1st Gen is rooted, but still has stock ROM. I've installed the latest drivers using the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6.

But now I can't access the kindle through a USB connected to my PC. So I can't copy a new ROM to the SD card.

When connected to my PC through USB cable, Device Manager shows it as Android ADB Interface - not Kindle.

I was using "Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9" with option "3" (install latest TWRP Recovery). I was following a tutorial, but it might have been for a different fireware and version of the utility.

After this it got stuck on the "kindle fire" screen, now nothing recognizes it.

I've attempted to root my kindle fire with the kindle fire utility and it wasn't 100% successful. Im stuck on the kindle fire screen where it's booting up and it's on an endless cycle whether plugged into the computer, or charging through the outlet. It's also completely unrecognized when I do plug it into my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated to unbrick it.
