Linux - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am just a twelve year old playing around with a kindle fire and Samsung galaxy player 3.6 and I was wondering if someone could post a Linux rom for a kindle fire running with the newest update and whether I have to root it or not to run Linux. Also as an add on can Linux run APk files.

Because there is no simple flash.
If you want to just play with it on your fire then go on play store and download one of the Linux installers and run it via terminal as an emulator.

If you want to mess with Linux that badly, why don't you just create a LiveUSB and boot your computer off of it?
Besides, if there were such a thing as a "Linux ROM" in the sense of what you are looking for, you would still need custom recovery to install it. And if your device isn't rooted, there's a very good chance it doesn't have custom recovery.
Why are you so interested in getting Linux on the KF?

I don't know about the gs1 but I do know that entropy512 has cm9 for the galaxy player. Look at his signature.
Sent from my GT-N7000000000 using Tapastalker 2

I do have root on the galaxy player 3.6 and I know more than most would think so please don't tell me off and the Linux section of this thread is closed. Now I have my hands on a nexus 4 rom and I was wondering if I could use the rom on my gp3.6
Sent from my YP-GS1 using xda app-developers app

No don't do that you will kill your device. Search on google for xda developer Entropy512. In his signature he has a link to his custom ROM for the galaxy player. If you install a nexus ROM the device will permanently die...

good, gosh I was getting sad already even though there is a AOKP rom having this one out there is also a good idea, for my opinion i'll use your rom cause it have both of cm9 and aokp.
thank you for not letting this rom go to dust.

Sprint TV

Sorry if its posted anywhere but I couldn't find it. I can't get Sprint TV to load in my E4GT. I haven't used it in awhile but football season is here.
I DL from the market, open the apk to install. When I open the app, I get a screen telling me to update. Umm, wouldn't the market have the latest edition? Anyway I hit the upgrade button, then a blank screen and the a FC. Anyone else having that problem?
I am rooted, updated profile and PRL, then reboot and still same problem.

Old apk
Hey guys, I'm on re-calk 0.2.0 and had the same upgrade message. I had a copy of an old apk for Sprint TV that I had to use to update the version when I was on GB Calk 2.9.1. I installed it this afternoon and it started right up for me with out the subscription information. Thought I would share in case it might work for you too.

Phone freezing Shell granted su access?

My phone has been locking up on the homescreen. I can't scroll pages or open apps. It then comes back to working and says "shell granted su access" on the bottom of the screen . Are these two instances connected ? How do I fix it from freezing like this?

Okay so I had this same problem happen again and so I started searching all over and came across a thread in the i9300 section where another was having a similar problem. He concluded that after the phone had been up for 24 hours or so there was a big memory leak with kiesexe found in /system/bin. So he made a cwm zip that disabled kiesexe in that folder. I flashed it the other day and haven't had that problem yet and I've also gained about 100 mb more ram! I'm just heading to bed so I'll post it all tomorrow for anybody else having that stupid issue!

I agree with slicingtaco, find the Exynosabuse.apk from Chainfire here on XDA and install it. You will be able to do this right from your SGN2. After rooting, get goomanager from the play store. open goomanager and in the menu choose 'Install OpenRecoveryScript'. That will download and install TWRP which will overwrite the stock recovery, which, after all of this you can install custom ROMS.
Right after rooting, you may have to get BusyBox Free from the playstore and install busybox.
Good Luck!
