http://androidforums.com – Newbie question. I'm keen to root my Kindle so at least I can get access to Google Play. But what else will rooting do? I've rooted my Galaxy S3 and I love the cleaner theme. Can you choose new themes with a rooted Kindle and display apps on the home screen like the Android phones, iPad etc...? (General)

Is there any way around this, or do you forfeit the Kindle app for the joys of everything else when rooting?

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.

As title suggests, prior to rooting the Kindle and flashing JB 4.4.2 I was able to access the Kindle via the ADB.

I am working on rooting my Kindle Fire. I have followed the instructions at Android Authority based on a reference from someone that performed a Kindle Fire root successfully.

Hey guys I'm a newbie here and I am probably way over my head but I have an issue. I did something stupid and edited some build props to try to get a game to work.
