I recently installed windows XP on my Kindle Fire. When I run bochs it will boot up, but i can't figure out how to click anything. I know that you click the bottom left-hand corner for keyboard what other controls are there. Please help!
Are you sure you installed windows xp. I've never heard of anyone doing this.

I have heard of BOCHS before but I never knew that it could run on Kindle, let alone Android...
I have seen it on a Sony PSP and iPad but never a android tablet

I've been looking for a way to get windows up and running on my kindle fire. I have the non-HD version but it comes w/ the new 10.2.4 OS. I have it rooted but that's pretty much it.
Would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction on how to set up Windows XP on the Kindle Fire? Did you follow a step-by-step guide? I'm not a dev in any sense but I can follow instructions fairly well
Also, did you manage to solve your touchscreen issue? Is the windows XP you have running usable as a daily driver? I would love to use this thing for work.
I PMed you as well.
Thanks!
It should just be tap to click. I have windows 95 on my fire and it works great.

Is that the version where you pretty much can't do anything with it other than simple applications? If it is fully functional can you please direct me to a link for further information?

I haven't had time to actually install anything on it, but as far as I know, everything works fine (no bugginess), except for network, which means you'll have to download any files using android and move them over to the virtual machine.
I would be interested in a guide on how to put windows on the fire as well. Seems like a crime but would be a cheap way to connect back with my win environment.

Would anyone want this.? Seeing I could just have to figure out which .so files it uses and installing all other amazon apks
I think it would be worth a shot just to have it out there for an option to use .
The Kindle launcher is part of why I went with CM7. I just couldn't stand the "book shelf" interface. If you like it, awesome. I know lots of folks love the KF interface. I just am not one of them.
Do it! This is one of the reason's I only experiment with the kernel and not install CM on my Fire! Unlike the previous poster, I am comfortable with having a different interface from what I usually see on my phone and other tablet.

I don't know if its just me, but I actually kinda like the stock launcher. Its not BAD, its just different. Are there some things I wish I could change? Sure. But there are things I wish I could change with my Sense UI also. I like the idea of being able to install the stock launcher on different ROM's.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
for what I use it for, I am actually a fan of the stock UI. I think there are a lot I would change as well, but for now, if you get it ported over, things can be added ad removed to the interface as we see fit.
I reallllllly like the stock keyboard. that is the **** I have been looking for. I guess I found out when I flashed Biffys Blaze ROM

I have a first gen Kindle Fire. Definitely would love to be running a custom rom (running AOKP 4.2.2 on my phone and love it). But the one and only thing keeping me from experimenting is the lack of Amazon Instant Video app. I know this has been discussed at length, but wanted to know if any progress has been made. I am aware I can view videos from the browser, but I prefer the options run videos from the app and download them for it for viewing later if I'm not on wifi. It's one of my favorite features of the Kindle and if I run a custom rom then that is gone. Hopefully some progress has been made, but from a quick search I can't find anything.

Could a separate app be developed that does that? Of course that's coming from me. I can barely install an app much less develop one. But I'd buy more movies and shows if I was able to use it on more devices I own other than just my Kindle.

Well im sure it would be possible to, but im just going to sit and wait until the Kindle line fails, and then amazon releases the app on android.
Can somebody point me in the direction of a thorough how-to for dual booting? Im definitely over this stock launcher.

I just tried on my Mac running mavericks. (2012mbp) It synced great, but my mouse ran to the bottom left corner perpetually, it was difficult to stop until I remembered the controller's got batteries. Syncs with windows 8 and works great on "The wonderful end of the world", no obvious problems.
Tried a second time on the mac, and same result. You can fight the cursor's down/left drag with the left stick, but it's terribly unusable.
So I went ahead and bought it anyway. Works great in PCSX2. Windows 7.

I'm 90% sure the answer will be along the lines of either it's impossible, or you would have to edit the app to make it work on android.
But is there a way to extract the Playstation Vue app from the fire tv and run it on your phone?
Is it at least feasible?
TIA

Pretty easy. Back it up with es file explorer and send it to your device. It'll probably install but most likely you'll need amazon app store for it to work. From there I'm not sure. Give it a try

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow and report the results!
EDIT:
Well, I downloaded it using apps2fire.
It installed on my phone, but when I open the app, it says it's not authorized on this device.
I figured as much.
Guess there's not really much one can do, is there?

That was expected. That's all I know. The app is made to work for fire devices so unless you can trick it into thinking it's running on those...and I don't know that there is. I remember awhile back trying to get a game that was free for fire tv (paid for android) to work and had no luck.
There is a post on xda somewhere which tells you how to put the app on a non Sony device, I done this before on my Motorola xoom & my Samsung S5, after you put the app on you have to change the data & obb files for the app in Android/ to make it work, do a Google search or a xda search & I'm sure your find it.
(Sorry I thought you ment the older the one with the games not the newer app which streams tv)
But maybe this is possible soon? But it looks like if your in the right part of the world at the moment you can get it & even download it from the amazon store
Hope this helps If so press that thanks button
Thanks guys.
It's not really a necessity, more of a curiosity.
Also, deanr1997, I don't think there's an app for Sony devices either.
Far as I know it's iOS and fire tv only, besides ps3 and ps4, of course.

Ah ok, gotcha.
Yeah, it's a real great service. I'm streaming ps4, ps3 and fire tv simultaneously with great picture quality.
I get better channels then I had with dish, and for $55 instead of the $150 I used to pay.
But dish did have a mobile app that I could watch TV on the go.
Not so with psvue.
In any case, it's well worth it.

Just too add a little info about how this limitation might be working. I have 3 firetv devices and one of them is a rooted Fire TV v1. The prerooted stock 5.05 image is not yet available for this device so it is my only device that isn't on the latest firmware. It appears that the VUE app is checking if you are on the correct version of the Fire OS as VUE does not work on my V1 box but works fine on the other two.
I would like to try this but not sure it's available in the UK yet?

can you see what your build.prop looks like on the FireTV? you may be able to just manually edit it to trick the app into thinking it is a different device. What this might do to the rest of the apps however, I am not sure.
Anyone have any luck on this? I was able to install the android tv app on my S5 but it wont find a network for some reason. Would be great to have the fire tv version on a mobile device.
can you help me download kodinolimits i cleared all data from my box when I try to download it it says error check log
I read through the thread, and maybe missed it somewhere, but what exactly are you trying to do with the PSVue app after you extract? Or I guess more iportantly, what is the intent of your post? Outside of the obvious as you stated initially. This thing was a pain in the ass to get going on my rooted firetvs and sticks.
