NOOB question:::Is the development for kindle fire 1st & 2nd gen the same, i.e do the same roms work on both or does one have to use a separate rom
Please do not use anything that is intended for the first gen device you will end up with a fancy paperweight. No roms or root methods should be used they are only intended for first gen devices.
Thnks for the info..m glad i didnt do anything stupid

That's what this whole site is about. Obviously you're invalidating your warranty if you do this, but the whole point is to have a better UI than what Amazon provides.
One comes to this site in hopes of finding out that there really is hope to making their tablet/phone into a supertablet/superphone.
So it's fine to flash stuff to your kindles peoples. Don't listen to this guy.

In all fairness, it's not our responsibility to make sure any particular user fully understands the risks of attempting to modify their device...as a matter of fact, it's expected that they do. If someone doesn't have the knowledge and/or the common sense to do the appropriate amount of research before taking on such an endeavor, then they deserve any adverse outcome that happens as a result.

How does XDA Devs generate income? Does their ROMs are simple made cz of their dedication.and hardwork? Is there a way they can get money from them..?

ROMs are shared with other people, not sold to them which means they don't earn anything from it.

The ROM developers here (the vast majority anyway) have no desire make money from their work. They do it because they can and they do it for themselves. We are just lucky enough that they are willing to share their work with us.
Any ROM developer whose main aim is to make money is doing it wrong. (imo)

Actually, that's a very common misconception. Quite a few mods/devs/recognised contributors/high-ranking senior members have gone on rants about this sort of thing
We are NOT in any way necessary. XDA is not a 'make my phone cool' service. The devs normally make ROMs for their own usage, and only share them with us for no profit because that's just the way they are. If you ask the majority of devs to create a ROM which they simply don't like, they will not do it. Try asking someone like Tytung (if you've ever had an HD2, you know who he is), who only does AOSP/CM based ROMs to create a Sense-based ROM, or someone like MCCM (again from the HD2 forums), who only does Sense/MIUI ROMs to make a Cyanogenmod ROM. They would refuse, because they're not doing this for us but for themselves. We're just very lucky that they choose to share their work with us.
That was essentially a very summarised and watered-down version of this post
From an enduser, i think we pay the devs with thanks to there work. Is money more worth than the feeling that people who dont know you, love your work?
True, and as Nigeldg told, we should really be lucky enough for their sharing mentality.

They'll help in the sense that they say “what did you do? Root it? OK, well no more warranty for you, no returns, no help, and don't ask for any more support from us!" So if that is what you mean by help, they will most definitely help you!
Just in case my sarcasm wasn't clear, DON'T contact Amazon support to help you, just do what you did, and ask here where this is a nice community of devs and support.
And greezal, another option that I think should work is getting the drivers through the android SDK, but I don't know. Did previous comments work?
What sort of problem are you having?
You also might want to read this thread, and see if this is similar to what you're experiencing.

You can install very useful apps that require root access for example like titanium backup, better battery stats, rom manager, root explorer.....
And also you can install roms and kernels.

your phone your choice
Benefits of rooting? Basically none for me. Yeah sure you can play with stuff. Install custom roms... void your warranty etc
I always rooted and installed custom roms but decided to go stock and only bother updating roms when updates are officially released and havent missed root one little bit.
It greatly depends on what your trying to achieve. If getting stuff done with no disruption, stability and an intact warranty are important to you then stay stock. If you enjoying tinkering, flashing "new" roms etc then go for it!
I was burned though, i got the complete piece of crap that is the htc one x last year. Voided my warranty with htc dev unlock THEN found out the phone had many issues due to awful build and quality control. I then vowed to never buy htc again. Bought an s3 then an lte note 2 and wont be looking back

You can make the phone you just paid £100's for, yours. i.e, getting rid of bloatware, unused apps that came on the phone.
I'm new to rooting/flashing roms, kernels etc but i can tell you... Do your research before thinking you're god. If you're unsure how to do it, research it.
When you 'think' you know how to do it, read more. Only do things when you are 100% sure you can.

Glad that you realize theres nothing like a good root.
I wouldn't sweat rooting until you find an app that you want that requires root.
There are plenty though. My root apps:
Afwall+ - firewall
catlog - browse logcat (for debugging apps)
cerberus - security program
LBE security master - block apps from using various permissions
multi window manager - use any app in multiwindow
quickboot - nice boot program, makes it easy to boot into recovery mode.
titanium backup - backup/restore your phone or programs
xposed installer/settings - change dpi for individual programs
directory bind - Put game data on external SD card so they don't fill your phone up.
And of course, install roms and junk.
Changing/randomly adding things is more customizable if you have root - cool bootup movie, lightsaber sound when you pull out the stylus, etc etc.

We know that broadcom won't release the drivers soon so what about modifing our existing drivers or port drivers from other broadcom devices (e.g. raspberry pi)
This will be a good step for the cyanogen project

well,
if you really did read it before,
you should have noticed that SGY (according to broadcom by their representative david) has the only unique chip running in the market, different from nokia 808 and raspi,
so even with binaries for pi released we are still baffled on how to use them since it has a different chipset
also use the search function.,

instead of doing something that 99.9% will be fail, why don't you spend your time to do something that more productive, like learning to modifying rom or kernel source. or better, learn to write android application.
