![]() ![]() Once you have this admin access you can add/delete/replace default apps which the device owner didn't want you to mess with. LineageOS is one with lots of customization and hardware support for Kindles. From my experience most custom ROMs are already root-capable since you're rewriting the OS code anyway.ĪOSP is the Android Open Source Project which is the generic starting point for most custom ROMs. Gaining access to change this data on the default install of Android is generally known as 'rooting' the device, which gives you full admin access(the admin user is named 'root' because under everything Android runs Linux and the default Linux admin is named 'root'). This is also why you can't just drop the Google Apps apk file onto a device and run with it. OS's are called ROMs(from Read-Only Memory) because the structure of Android generally keeps the OS code locked and separate from editable data and it is defaulted to read-only. Replacing it (reflashing it) with a hacked/third-party version like Team Win Recovery Project(TWRP) or FireFireFire (specific to Kindle Fire devices) lets you do special things like launch your own OS version, alter hardware security features like encryption, take full backup images, etc. The big achievement for unlocking most devices is being able to hack/change this bootloader so you can run your own code. The bootloader is a tiny program which launches the full OS and it lives on a little separate chip which is often locked so you cant change it.
