XDA Kindle Fire: Make The Most Out of Your Device

By Sebastian Cork


If you are a gadget fanatic or a guru, then you are certainly familiar with people who hack and root almost all popular devices these days like mobile phones, computers, and tablets. There're good reasons why some people do it, and that's because rooting or hacking a device actually brings about more functionalities and potential from the equipment. It is basically done by digging through the device's software and tweaking it to enable things that manufacturers don't want to reveal to consumers. For instance, the XDA Kindle Fire rooting procedure will provide the user the opportunity to fully access all the functions of the Google Android operating system, which is supposedly not the case.

When we talk about software development and rooting devices, there's a bunch of clever individuals referring to themselves as XDA developers who are able to successfully hack the system of the Kindle Fire and make it a device that is capable of handling much more compatibility concerning its operating system, Google's Android.

One of the things Amazon boasted when they finally unveiled a full blown tablet by the name of the Kindle Fire was that it was foolproof to hackers. They advertised the tablet as something that could not be hacked or rooted for the purpose of installing third party applications that correspond to free apps and games online. We've all seen Apple's jailbreak and what it does to a rather expensive way to download applications and games, and XDA Kindle Fire rooting does the same job! Hence, the engineers behind Kindle Fire and Fire HD have been mistaken and have underestimated the ability of hackers to infiltrate both devices.

However, one really curious thing would be: what is the benefit of rooting the device? What seems to be added when you actually perform it?

When you finally understand the entire process, you get to realize that there is really nothing to worry about in the first place. If we talk about risks, there's actually none, except only for the fact that you are going to void any warranty you have from Amazon. It's really not like the Apple iPad or iPhone, wherein when you try to jailbreak, there's a tendency for the iOS device to freeze. Nevertheless, with Google's Android operating system as the subject for rooting, there's no way you could fail. And best thing about doing it is that you finally get full access to the Google Play Store, including all the stuff you always wanted to have for your Kindle Fire such as applications, wallpapers, games, and launcher.

As a matter of fact, doing the same is pretty much rationalized by Amazon's trick of hiding some functionality, which should have been there in the first place. Yes, there is always the distinctiveness of the Amazon shopping environment built in the tablet, but it really doesn't do any harm if you have something that both offer access to Google Play and the Amazon AppStore without restrictions or limitations.
