I'm trying to use the complete Linux installer and it requires a kernel that supports loop devices. What ROMs/kernel are available for the KFHD7 that have support for loop devices and where do I find it?

Hello all,
I'm working on a research assignment for school and I'm a little stuck.
I know it's possible to install a new bootloader on the Amazon Kindle fire.
I would like to do more than that.
I want to install a new or change the settings of the Linux kernel on the Kindle Fire. Why?
I want use the tablet for my own purposes. These purposes mean that I have to control all ports and memory to restrict access.
Can this be done, theoretically?
Bootloaders e.g FFF can be loaded to the boot partition seperatly. The same can be done with recovery partitions and the kernel.
Thank you for this information.
Can I also delete the other bootloader and the Android OS?
I want nothing else on the Kindle Fire other than my bootloader and programs.

You can write FireFireFire or something similar to the boot partition. To run your programs tough you will some version of the Android OS on the device.
Hello,
Long time lurker here as I first found this forum when I rooted my HP Touchpad to run Android. I have a Kindle Fire 1st Gen and would like dual boot. Here is the order I would like:
1. Normal Boot = Kindle Stock OS
2. Alt Boot = Android 4.2.2
I understand that dual boot is possible and that currently the normal boot currently boots into the Android OS by default. I read here that this order can be changed by modifying the source code of FireFireFire however I am unsure how to do this. I am comfortable using hex editors and modifying Linux and Windows scripts but I am not a coder. I am also comfortable using TWRP and flashing ROMS as I have done this with the Kindle and my HP Touchpad. Could anyone here point me in the right direction to help me get the Kindle Fire to boot in this order?

Well I finally figured it out. If anyone else is interested I have attached a write up of the steps I took to do this.
NOTE: I am posting this to people who have some level of knowledge on flashing alternate ROMS and rooting their device. I take no responsibility if you brick your device. These steps worked for me but your outcome could be different:

can anyone clarify that it is indeed possible to dual boot a Kindle Fire HD 7 between the kindle OS and a regular android rom ? I'm coming across conflicting info and having trouble finding a starting point i guess. Is Kindle Fire OS Modaco a stock kindle OS with all Parental features? Thanks

I Think you would get better help in one of the KF HD Q&A forums
I have a Kindle Fire 1 with Software Version is 10.4.6_user_4620220 and ADB not working with this version.
How to downgrade Software Version 10.4.6 to 6.3.2.
I need help.
First thing I want to mention, you don't downgrade from a 10.x.x os to a 6.x.x os, because the 10.x.x os is a kf2 os, and the 6.x.x os is a kf1 os, so all you would succeed in doing is bricking the device. Second thing, based on what you just said, you don't have a kf1, you have a kf2. So what would you like to do? Also what do you mean adb isn't working, if USB debugging is enabled, then you should have a device in the task manager show up, it may have an exclamation, if so use the drivers in my signature to update the drivers and adb should work.

i saw a guy say in other to use a different launcher on my kindle fire i need to delete the launcher apk and install a different launcher but it didn't work at all i tried to factory rest it but it got stucked on boot screen can you help me and i didnt turn on allow adb in the settings
If your kindle is rooted, you can just flash a stock Android OS from your Recovery, you will overwrite the system.
You will need a fastboot cable/adapter, I recommend the team blackhat adapters barcode mentions in his guides.
Does anyone know how to run Ubuntu on fire phone using framebuffer? All the guides call for custom recovery and fire is can't do that. There must be a easy way without custom recovery.
