A long title, but a pain to achieve as Windows 8 ADB drivers are different from Vista and Win7.  It’s exactly the same process on Vista & Win 7, but impossible on Windows 8 without the drivers linked below..

Jelly Bean on Kindle Fire 2.

So in the correct order:

1. Install Kindle Fire ADB drivers from this page at XDA and then Root as instructed (Device needs to be rooted to add custom .img files and Boot-loader.).  In the same thread:
   • Carry the steps in the Root Many Android section.
   • Then Qemu Automated Root.
2. Follow the Cordless APK Instructions here to install a custom .img file and boot-loader (the excellent TWRP).  You need this to install custom ROMs.
3. Finally, you get to flash your device with a custom ROM, I used this JellyBean 4.2.1 ROM.

Once you have done that lot, you boot up into a standard Jelly Bean environment with out all the Kindle crap and the store with charges more for apps than the Google Play store does.  I linked the tablet to the wife’s Gmail account (it’s her tablet), and it promptly sorted her emails and pulled down her Android apps without my intervention…

HC pointed out these lunatics.  This is going to end well…

I have no idea what this s about, but it’s pretty cool to watch…

Impressive looking, let’s hope it plays as good as the trailer looks…

Some people have some amazing hobbies, or perhaps just a little too much time on their hands?

Was reading some news about F1 when I saw a link to this advert, which is pretty cool, especially if you visit this page and see the making of which seems to confirm it’s real rather than faked…
