Benefits of Rooting Kindle Fire

By Sebastian Cork


There are so many ways to enjoy gadgets nowadays and with the variety of feature's mobile phones, computers, e-readers, and tablets have, it's no surprise that most of us would want to own at least one of them. However, the unfortunate thing is that most of these products are actually deliberately limited when it comes to functions and features, and that's one way of requiring customers to purchase the newer versions later. However, with hackers and software developers lurking on the web, you can now enjoy more benefits and advantages for your device. For instance, the XDA Kindle Fire is a process developed in order to successfully root and hack the Android operating system embedded in the device.

When we talk about software development and rooting devices, there's a bunch of clever individuals referring to themselves as XDA developers who are able to successfully hack the system of the Kindle Fire and make it a device that is capable of handling much more compatibility concerning its operating system, Google's Android.

It's ironic to know that Amazon was actually showing off when it originally unveiled the Fire, saying that the device cannot be rooted or hacked. But then again, it somehow just became another addition to the list of many other mobile devices that have been successfully rooted by hackers, including those that use the Apple's iOS, such as the iPad and iPhone. The term used in rooting an Apple device is jailbreak, and that is exactly the same concept used in XDA Kindle Fire. The good news for Fire users is that they can now root and enable their device to work in a lot of ways that they didn't expect when they first bought the tablet computer.

However, one really curious thing would be: what is the benefit of rooting the device? What seems to be added when you actually perform it?

One of the most convenient facts about XDA Kindle Fire rooting is that you will realize after it's done that there is really nothing wrong and risky about doing it at all. Perhaps the only drawback is that you lose the warranty you are entitled to when you purchased the device. Then again, it's not like when you jailbreak an iPad or iPhone where you risk freezing your device for good. Since the Fire runs with Google's Android-based system, there is really nothing to worry about because what you get instead after the tablet is rooted is total and full access to the Google Play Store, including downloading and installing all sorts of apps, launchers, games, and many more.

Rooting through XDA Kindle Fire can actually be justified knowing the fact that the tablet/e-reader was mainly designed to be limited, at least based on the Android platform. Amazon really emphasized how important it is to retain and carry over the shopping environment of the website; the same as the other Kindles have. Then again, why not just integrate the full functionality of both Amazon's ecosystem and Google's Android in one? In the end, what you get from a rooted device is actually more fun and entertaining.
