Websockets? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to get a web browser onto the kindle that has the capability to handle web-sockets?
I don't care if i have to root the device and install new OS system - would like to keep the Android setup if possible?
Thanks much!

I assume you're using stock, since you weren't clear about that part. You may have to get gapps to get it from the Play Store, unless you're able to sideload it.

Ok - correct me if i'm wrong here...
My android Kindle fire OS is likely 2.3.4 which is the GAPPS package I should download. It seems that goo.im is down - is there any other place to get this package?
Also do I need to root my kindle first as you are correct I'm using a stock version.
Thanks!

It's working just fine for me. If you're still unable to connect to it, I can just reupload the gapps you need to a filehost.

[HOWTO] Install Flipboard on Your Iconia

If you look up Flipboard in your playstore, you wont find it because its not available for Tablets yet, sure you can go and change the build.prop file and then get it, but there is another way;
Instructions:
Download the Beta Version of Fliboard from here
Then, Install it as any other normal APK, run the app and it will itself tell you to update to latest version, and voila...
(sorry if this has been posted before)
Nice find!! Thanks

[Q] Still without root...

So, I have tried time and time again, and am still no closer to getting my phone rooted. I have spent hours reading all over these forums, and Google in general, and have yet to get a straight answer to my question as to why my phone refuses to root.
I am thankful for the advice offered, such as trying SuperOneClick that does... well, nothing. [Says my device has no drivers, yet,. Windows sees my phone as an Android device, and the program generally locks up after]. Was told that my image is faulty, and yet, somehow it's still installed on the device/working fine. [Was suggested to re-download the CW MOD image, and re-install] And it just goes on and on... then silence from the community.
So, to boil it down to the nitty-gritty, the only thing I am getting is, while I -attempt- to install SuperUser via CW, I get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed!
So, please, someone, assist me in getting my phone rooted!

try installing superSU...
Now, super one click ... don't use it, it isn't for our roms.
you should be using Odin to flash CW, and then downloading roms and flashing with CW
If you want support from the community, why not offer more information...
What are you running now ? UCLH ? UCLJ ? Jellybean, Gingerbread, ICS ? How did you obtain the version that is running on your phone now ?
i've discovered the only way to root Gingerbread is to download a pre-rooted rom.
ICS, install CW w/ Odin and then flash supersu or superuser .... There was, at a time, I couldn't get ICS to root and had to download a specific SU or SuperSU not on google store that I found by searching the forums ....
Give us more info, as much and as detailed as possible and we can help you further.

I used the official update from Samsung when it was fully released... finally. So, running 4.0.4.
What's SuperSU? Is that different?
For more details, I posted already to the fourms here before they went silent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35750419 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811065
As you can see, I tried everything, it's like my phone's being annoying... is it do-able to just re-set the phone to stock Gingerbread, and then just update using another ROM? And, if so, what one do I use? I just want a stable experience. Like, with the leak that came out not too long before the official, there was the keyboard error, and I even had issues with placing and receiving calls...
At this point, it's getting to the point where I am willing to basicly go back to out-of-the-box, then root the sucker, if I can do that. Seems perhaps a clean slate is in order, anywho.
Thanks for the quick reply, though.

#1 what version of Odin are you using?
#2 What version of CWM are you using? Where did you download it from ? (Here I hope : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007198 )

Do NOT use Superoneclick, there is no SOC that will work for our phone.
It has been some time since I have used ICS. I had completed the stock download from samfirmware.com, installed CWM 6 with Odin 1.85 and (taadaa) attached to this thread the same version of Superuser I used to install via CWM.
I stumbled on this randomly.. no usb hubs i guess..

From my computer, via USB, and not likely at all. Every component is new, and to make it more amusing, I did all this in the past with the leaked ROM before I got this new system on my last compy, so, yeah... if -both- computers does the -exact- same thing... prolly time to format the phone, and try again, somehow?

..okes.. I feel like somewhat of an idiot. I decided to just try one last time to get the recovery mod in there again, and, for whatever stupid reason, instead of seeing a blank background with the Android, I saw the CW icon, and a silver icon... I told it to apply SuperUser as I have tried so many other times, and it just... worked.
The closest thing I can figure is that my browser, and my eyes told me that I had multiple copies of the current CW Mod, but, in my working directory, I unzipped the -old- version.
To make it simple; I -now- have root on my Glide, woot!

I didn't realize that CW hadn't installed properly for you ... good to know it's working for you now! ..

OFFICIAL CM12.1 Released.

Gapps: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Nightly changelog: http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/hltetmo
Recommended: If you're on anything 4.4.x (KitKat) you can/should follow this easy method to get to the official 5.x (Lollipop). Then you can start fresh by wiping/factory resetting phone and formatting it through recovery, and then install CM12.1 and Gapps (and SuperSU is wanted). You can leave out the SD card fix since CM has it built in, and you'll be overwriting the OS anyway.

Yes, it does. I have tried it, it did not work.
I noticed Misc is high on the battery list. It doesn't seem to be affecting the actual performance, but I looked into it, and it seems it's a known bug in LP. I just flashed today's nightly, so let's see what happens. Great ROM overall. Especially for the first release.
EDIT: Disregard, there's simply a "Preferred network type" option under cellular network settings. (should look around more before I post.....)
Everything seems to be going well enough so far, but I seem to not be getting LTE, only HSPA+ and 3G, is anyone else having this issue? Is there some setting somewhere where I would need to change preferences on this?

Hello, does nobody have a working Phoenix OS? Just make a TWRP backup and upload it. It will help everyone without a working USB port.
I would do it but it takes me 24 hours to download
I'm trying to download it. But it is downloading at 6kb/sec. Says it will take 19 hours. But constantly fails. I wish someone mirrored it. I am curious anyone else who downloaded, was it slow for you?

Yeah I got it slowly using 'wget' which does resume downloads. But I tried the x86/PC not arm/flo. The OS is not open-sourced and the English version still has components in Chinese. I prefer the original http://www.android-x86.org/ for PCs.

ROM for kindle fire non-otter-x

I know that I'm pretty late to the party here but I decided to pull out my old fire that I haven't used in god only knows how long and wanted to see if I could make it into something actually useful. I have already rooted it and have firefirefire and twrp installed but I cannot find a non otter-x rom to download and install. Does anyone know if there are any still around? All the links I've tried in the index thread appear to be dead.
Thanks

If I could ask one more favor, is there a particular build I should use from the list? Worse comes to worse, I'll try a couple and if I don't like them or they don't work I'll just restore back.
Also, do you know if the gapps are included in the builds?

Well, I saw your reply about 5 minutes too late and I installed the otter-x twrp...
So after probably coming super close to bricking the fire and going in completely the wrong order, I somehow managed to get the otter-x bootloader, cm11 otter-x rom and gapps installed and the thing actually works! It seems to be a bit slow but I guess that's because it's a 10 year old tablet...
Anyway, thanks for all your help. All of your posts and videos are the only reason I was able to give this old fire a new life. I really appreciate all you've done.
Got fed up with how slow and laggy cm11 was so I switched over to slimkat and basically the same result. Did I do something wrong or is this normal? Is there any way to improve the speed and functionality because as it is right now, I can't really use it for anything.
Thanks
