When I connect my USB cable to my computer, what causes the kindle fire to automatically mount the /sdcard as the mass storage device?
I would rather it not auto mount and instead wait for me to tell it to mount for PC usage.
Is this controlled by the Kernel? I have the stock 6.3 OS, rooted, with the stock Kernel.
This is just something it does. You can always click disconnect . With custom ROMS it dosent do that, at least not the ROMS I tested out. You could always install a custom rom .

Then how did the person who made the custom ROM get it to stop doing that?
I disagree. This isn't just something that it does. If you click disconnect without safely removing from your system the FAT32 file system will eat itself. It is a pain in the ass to have to disconnect it from the computer, then hit disconnect on the screen when all I want is to charge my phone or use ADB to check something.
It could be the kernel. It could be something as simple as a config file or an APK that needs to be disabled. I've looked around but I can't find it. It makes me think it is in the kernel or maybe in the framework?
Because custom ROMS have different kernels than stock, sir. This is just something that the Amazon kindle fire does. If you have a problem with this, you can go on a rampage deleting system files and settings, send a report to Amazon themselves, or flash a custom rom other than MoDaCo, add it uses stock UI

your right is how the stock amazon set up is.. dude its an ereader if you want it to be like a tablet than flash a CM rom. and you shouldn't be charging it from usb it dosent have enough amps to charge it thats why they give you a house charger.
I have a 1st gen KF, and I have it rooted and running custom roms. However I would like to know if their are any other OS's that can be ported over to it and have them work (NOT Ubuntu Touch, already know that one). I mean iOS, Windows 8 /or7/or xp, WebOS, Sailfish? Just want to play more. Thanks.
I have been flashing ROMs on my Kindle since the days of GB and ICS. I went away for a year and just got back early this month so I lost much time regarding all the updates. I did upgrade TWRP from 2.5.x to the latest 2.7.x and all works fine. I'm currently on twa_priv's CM10.2 and satisfied. I also have the Kindle set up to dual boot with either CM10.2 or the alt-ROM which is a CM7 build.
Anyways, my main question is how would having the Kindle set up for dual booting affect the process of the OtterX installation? Please forgive my ignorance lol. I really like the ability to dual between the to OS version extremes. Could someone please at least point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Hey guys, just thought I'd try and revive my Kindle Fire. I've had roms on my Kindle Fire since I bought it when it came out (never even used stock Kindle). We all know the KF is dated now, and I've had kitkat and also lollipop on it but it just seems too slow to really use lollipop or kitkat. Constant redraws and the device just hangs for a few seconds before apps start up
I'd like to see what everyone else's ideas are as far as revitalizing this device even if it means going back to an older version of android or using specific roms. Thoughts?
Hello all,
I've never modded my Kindle Fire but I'd like to dive in. I'd like to hear your opinions of the best (fast, functional) rom available for the device AND the best step by step process to load it. Really excited to make this thing usable.
Thanks!
Please don't answer all at once... slow down everyone.
I'm using the newest resurrection remix with twrp 2.0.8.7 and it's working well for me. There are several tutorials for rooting and installing twrp in your device, use one of them. Then install what ever rom you want. Make sure you do a clean install of the rom you choose. This is explained in the tutorials as well.
