So, my wife and I were thinking about getting our daughter a Leap Frog Explorer 2 Tablet.
Upon reading the reviews, and specs, a lot of the recommendations were to just buy her a real tablet with a good case.
I own a Nexus 7. We don't let her play with it on account of it not having a case. She loves my wife's iPhone and my Android. We have lots of kid friendly apps on both.
We don't want to spend a ton on the tablet. I see Amazon has the Kindle Fire for $159. That's pretty reasonable, and I can get an otter box for it.
However, before I buy, I want to read into other options. Do any of you know any other viable options out there? I really prefer Android OS and I hear that I can root and ROM a Kindle Fire. A case is also a must. I looked on Newegg and saw a lot of cheap (never heard of the brand name before) Android tablets for $70-$150, but I'm skeptical on quality, and I have to have a durable case for it.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
*Ninja Edit*
Another nice addition would be an HDMI out. My Nexus 7 does not have one but it isn't a deal breaker. Still don't want to spend more than $160ish.
*Another Ninja Edit*
Are the ones Amazon currently selling the second generation? They are rootable/ROMable right?
Whatever you do..... Do not buy a no name android tablet. They are garbage in every aspect. Lots of them don't even give you access to the playstore or even have multi-touch. I personally don't know about the kindle fire but I got my son a 7" p1000 galaxy tab ( a little outdated but cheap) and he plays that thing.to death. Personally I definitely think you're better off getting a name brand tablet. The kid will never touch your phone again LOL.

Thank you for the fast reply! Thats why we're thinking about the tablet. We would LOVE to have our phones back.
I figured a no name would be an awful idea. I have played with one before a friend got, and I was beyond unimpressed.
I really wish I could afford another Nexus 7 and just put a really nice case on it. I love the N7.
My 3 year old niece loves the Kindle Fire and she can navigate around it pretty well. They have the parental controls set up so she can't mess it up. They got her an Innotab 2 to be given to her as a gift but I don't think she'll like it as she is accustomed to the Kindle.

No, don't let your kids play with fire. They will burn down the house.
Yes, do let them use the Kindle Fire however.
Sweet, thanks guys for all the input!
I found one locally for $125 (Non HD, 2nd Gen). Is it pretty easy to root/rom?
I must have Play Store.

Yeah, there's guides here that you can follow.
Make sure it's a first generation kindle. I believe the other versions have locked boot loaders so you won't be able to modify it.

Try the old nook touch/tablet. They are supposed to be super easy to root and install a ROM, plus they have expandable memory.

Cool. Thanks everyone for the input!
I already bought one, but I'm not sure which generation it is.
System Version: 6.3.1_user_4107920
I'd really love to run a custom ROM on here. I don't like the Kindle version of AndroidOS.
I've got a Nexus 7 too, and I love it to run similarly to that.
Ok good, you have the 1st gen. I recommend rooting it with KFU (search is your friend)
If you want it to be like your nexus 7, with android 4.1, I recommend flashing Alien Droid. Runs great.
If you don't mind it being an older version of android, I HIGHLY recommend flashing a CM7 Rom. They are stable and have great battery life

Well, that is awesome news
My N7 has 4.2 on it now... did the update a while back.
Alien Droid and CM7 are two different roms yes? Would you recommend CM7 over Alien Droid?
I have a custom rom on my phone (Atrix2 running Swifty Trix 4.2).
My N7 is stock 4.2 rooted.
*Ninja Edit*
I notice there are CM10 ROMs for the KF now, thats the new version of CM7 yes?
*Another Ninja Edit*
I'm pretty sure the Kindle does not have a removable SD card right?
Went with this one for now [ROM] CM10/SGT7 for the Kindle Fire [20121211] [Linaro]
Gonna play around with it and see if I like it. If not, i'll try a CM7, or that Alien one you mentioned.
You can have both Roms if you wish...dual boot your kindle is the way to go..I use Madco rom and jb or which ever Rom I wanna play with but Madco Rom has super long batt life.look in th dev thread for dual boot its awesome.

First off, War Eagle. Dual Boot could be cool. Especially because this tablet will have 2-3 users. We bought it for our daughter to play with, and I'd like to set it up with parental controls etc. My wife steals my Nexus7 all the time, so she may play with this as well. I'm liking CM10 right now, but i'd like to find a stable 4.2 release, that's what my N7 runs.

That's what I've heard. There aren't a lot of pics/screenshots of it on their development page though
CM7 ROMs are very good for battery, they can sleep for days with minimal drain. I too have a dual booted Kindle with CM7 and CM10. I hardly ever use CM10 because of battery drain but it supports OTG so I stick with it.
If I had to choose what to recommend to you I would say CM7 because not only great battery but it has had much more time to be fine tuned and tweaked by developers. A young child would be just fine with CM7 (that's only my opinion) because it's simplistic in nature.

CM7 is also great like he said it does have great battery life too.
Just not quite as good as Modaco (in my opinion)

Indeed, not the best year. Especially 2 years after a national championship.
Wen't with CM10, gonna play with it for a while. I don't think battery life will be a big issue as my daughter will plug it in each night. If it turns out to be, we will put CM7 on there instead
Now I gotta go find a good parental control app.
Sure sounds like a first gen device to me I think you got rather lucky but I`m a little confused at how.

Not from this forum just came across your post. I have kindle fire running miui an older version. You do lose ability to watch amazon video if rooted and custom roms. Like another poster said, there is an app on market for reading books but alot of people complain its no where near as good as the stock reader. No there is NOT an external sd card so the other poster must be speaking of a different reader. I love my kindle and the fact that there is no way to hard brick it! Alot of people think its hard bricked, but the fire can be fixed no matter what error is there. Alot of roms for it, I've tried a few of but I just keep going back to miui. Sorry to hijack your post.

It was the first thing I did with mine. I got mine first month it came out so lots of development hadn't been done yet but it came along quick. Thing I hate about stock is that everytime amazon updates (every 2-3 months it seems) it breaks root so another way to root has to be found. That is enough for me to just stay off stock completely.

I think that's your problem. I know there are many games that don't work on AOSP because the drivers aren't fully functional or optimized.
Just a quick observation here.
This is a forum made up of people that enjoy their epic 4g touch. When you start a thread called "This phone really does suck!!!!" You might not get a lot of help. Now put your phone down and go outside and play!

The huge problem with nothing ever being good enough is you'll never be happy. Take your phone for what it is instead playing the "find some flaws" game with yourself...there is no perfect phone (if there was, there would only be one phone), if you get a new phone you'll find something about it to complain about just like your current phone...

I DON'T know many about MLO and xloader partition what's in the update-script.
I wonder whether we can modify the update-script according to 6.3.1's ?
Please don't try flashing the original Amazon 2nd gen file. I'll see what I can do w/ the ROM using our existing 3.0 kernel when I get time.
It would be even more fantastic if you guys might can use the new ics stock's kernel to fix the charging detector problem, it's ics right? Is it possible?

That might actually be in our favour, if they are selling the fire at the bare minimum price and their target is selling their digital goods, then they have no reason not to continue to cater to all their user base. Since better software makes users more inclined to just stick with Amazon and continue consuming.
Of course one never knows, so take this as just my 2 cents.

Yes It would be great if you make tutorial of how to run the amazon launcher on cm10-cm9... since hashcodes kernel is stable now i don't want to move to anything else
So I gots me a new phone and I'd like to pass the Epic on to my brother. He's a distinctly non-techie user who currently uses Cricket.
My Epic is running CM10 right now (an old-ish nightly) but I don't think it's stable enough for my non-tech brother to deal with.
So my question is this:
What's the best way to prep my phone for my brother so it's stable, has a long battery life, and plays well with Cricket? If that means going back to stock, so be it. If CM9 is the way to go, holler out. I just want him to have the most stable experience with it to minimize the chance that I'll be needing to provide tech support. Also note that this will be his first smart phone, so whatever he ends up with will be better than what he's got now.
Whatchoothink, XDA?
you can try using cm10 stable. Or cm9 but I feel like ics is getting old.
If you have the original box that would be amazing.
Make sure its completely reset to the setup screen.
If its his first smartphone he might want tech support anyway.
Also give a 10 dollar play store gift card as a bonus!
Make sure its all shiny and fresh and clean. That's all I can think of.

I think that launcher is integrated with system, like sense rosie launcher, so it can't stand alone without the rest of the system parts...would work with a full rom port...

I've wondered about this launcher as well... for me it would be for the sake of trying something different.
the fire HD launcher looks to be a little more "kid friendly" than the stock nexus launcher, and the scrolling apps and media are kinda neat.

Posting in here rather than start a new thread - if the system was ported could the Kindle app access the Amazon prime library? It's currently limited to Kindle devices only.
