i have a kindle fire hd 8.9 and it started running real slow and freezing up. so i did a factory reset and it still seems to be running stupid? anyone have any idea why that would be? virus? one of my apps? aside from factory reset is there a better way to do a complete reset to the way i bought it?
I also had same kind of problems, please read
Yes, i know... it runs super-slow at times..... i have a cm11.0 (kitkat) based rom installed on my kindle fire hd 8.9!
It now runs superb.... okay, if u want the fire os then u have to root it to get speed.. but if still not then custom rom is the only way....
Don't worry, amazon warranty is not needed, i also never needed it... kindle fire hd 8.9 is superb tablet if unlocked to full potential....
So i have some links for u-
Youtube (best way)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUW6KARo8Y4

its easy, but never ever sikp even one step or ur kindle fire hd 8.9 is gone, otherwise it is very good and non-buggy!
DON'T WORRY
Clarification question: can this be done with the kindle fire HDX? Any reason that you know of where this would not work?
The hdx has no custom roms yet because the boot loader is locked and we haven't gotten around that yet, also it uses a different method to root it, so in short that tutorial won't work on a hdx, its more likely to brick it.

My 7 HD would run very slow a lot of the time. I downloaded Greenify:root from the play store and side-loaded it. I learned the slowness was always caused by one or more non-kindle services or apps (ones I side-loaded like the google authentication service. Greenify:Root let me force most of them to sleep, which usually solved any slowness immediately. On occasion I had to force the google auth. service to sleep manually, but again the problem always was solved this way. Your kindle has to be rooted to use this great free program.
Good-luck!
Hi! I have a Fire Phone with CyanogenMod 11 and the apps that using the camera no work, there is some solution or is better install Fire OS. If I install Fire OS, I can install any apk?
Just bought a Kindle 2nd Gen 8.9 - Firmware 8.5.1_user_5159720. I'm looking to either get a Custom Rom or Sideloading Google Play. My goal is to be able to install Xfinity Stream.
Thanks for all your help!
My fire tv box keeps asking to update how can I stop this, It is rooted and running on OS 5.2.6.9.
Thanks for any help z4.
Now sorted.
I have a 2015 5th Generation Kindle Fire that was rooted (way back when using that SuperTool) and then I think the Fire OS was corrupted. I put another on it (I forgot what I did), but I can't get that one to work right either. Also this device is missing the actual Amazon Kindle e-reader app that makes it a Kindle and even though I have forced other "Kindle" apks onto it and also tried downloading the Kindle app from Google Play on it, it has all been to no avail.
How do I revert to the original Fire OS? I feel like that might be a better stating point to try to fix this thing.

I'm sorry I was trying to post this in the 5th Generation existing thread. I can't figure out how to delete a whole thread.
