Hello,
So I bought a Kindle HDX 7 (3rd gen) for my girlfriend. She used it for a month and then a yellow line appeared on the screen. She contacted Amazon and they gave her a replacement and told her to discard/ recycle the defective one. Now I didn't see the point of throwing away the entire device just coz of the screen issue so I asked her to give the defective one to me. I did a factory reset on it. I can load documents and video files and music but they all appear in the Doc tab only. I am able to open Silk and use it like a basic tablet, but when I select tabs of Books or Music, etc, it asks me to register with Amazon. I tried doing that but it constantly rejects any email leading me to believe that the serial was blacklisted. So I've been scouring this site for clues on how to root the device/ install google play etc., but I am a bit confused now looking at the different links.
So far I've seen links with a cyanogen mod in here

or the 'How to install Google Play here'
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547054
So I'd be really grateful if you folks could point me in the right direction as in what steps do I need to take to either unlock my device/ be able to install apps/ read books and listed to music under the respective tabs. Is there a particular order to follow to install?
About my Kindle:
It is a Kindle HDX 7 (3rd gen)
Runs right now on Fire OS 4.5.5.1
I enabled ADB by going into the Developer Options (had to click 5 -6 times on Serial Number in Settings for the Options to appear)
Please let me know if I have missed out on providing you with other details about my Kindle.
Thanks a lot!

Hi there.
I've realised an issue with regards to the Google Play store website (as opposed to the play store app), as a source of apps. Specifically this relates the roms ported from 64bit architectures such as the S6/Note 5 roms for the Note 3. Because now the play store recognises my device as a Note 5 (64bit), but in reality my device is only 32bits. So therefore, won't apks of the incorrect architecture be sent through to the device?, and is there anyway around this?
Obviously I can still use my devices app, but sometimes it is more convenient (as when I'm trying to recharge my device) to access the play store as I'm charging.
cheers in advance.

I am pretty noob and I followed rootjunkys tool to install Google Play and Remove ads from lock screen.
It worked and I am able to download applications. I am trying to get a game save from my android device loaded on this however the google play games icon in the game is greyed out and I am not able to log into google play games.
Is there any way around this?

I have a cheap Chinese Android tablet, identified as a "SRE 10" running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. Kernel 3.3.0, Quad core A31 cpu.
I downloaded Google Maps from the play store and that seems to work ok, though it is the "phone" version.
When I tried to use street view, all I got was a blurred blank screen. I went back to the store and downloaded the separate Google Street View app because I assumed that that must be needed in addition to Maps.
But no. Street View still does not work.
I am beginning to think that the Chinese origin of this device means that street view is disabled.
Any ideas?

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for help and this is the last place i'm having hopes for..
I have native android app that was developed by me. and my company wants to put this app in tablet so then the app has true kiosk mode, loading on the start, auto-updating (somehow?? today I'm checking it with api call and forcing users to go to google play)
The current kiosk mode i have - isn't working that well across all the devices, Some tablets like samsung 8 inchers will cause app to crash on requesting device administrator. Some tablets don't allow me to disable turn the screen back on if user clicked on the button.
We would also like to add some AdMob and AdColony SDK's there but now the issue is that if either of this networks has a link to google play or just a web link it fires intent and kicking chrome instead which knocks my app to the background in some devices.
What do we need to do from here? I mean what do we need to find to get it done? We would be buying some specific tablets for that too so I guess we can modify ROM if that is required but I'm really don't have any clue where to start here.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi all
I've got a little food truck coming together and was looking at installing an ePoS.
There are many companies out there offering hardware and apps but not quite what im looking for.
I'd like to use an Android as a waiter/ cashier device and then send the order to the kitchen's Android device. Currently looking at using 2 Samsung S2 9.7 devices. The normal setup for all ePoS apps that I've found is that you can have a cashier/ waiter android but the order is sent to a BT printer or through a server to a standard EPSON (or similar) thermal paper printer.
i'm pretty sure that what i'm looking for is readily available but i'm not "feeling lucky" in my Google searches.
I don't want the added hardware like barcode scanners and card swipers. Just a couple of food orders from one tablet to the next.
If anyone can lead me in the right direction, I'd be truly grateful.
