With them really scraping update numbers in the 5.x range, I feel like they may be planning a big change |

Firmware series 6.x.y IS Android.
Two points, that if I where making the product change decision: 1) Amazon/Linux is much more secure than Google/Linux (Android) - everybody alive can root Android 2) Only the newest Oasis has the hardware resources to run Android in a reasonable manner. (The Chinese Android for the Paperwhite and others is only "bragging rights" - not really practical) With J. Bezo's strong feelings against after-market add-ins and being able to keep control of their e-book readers, I would say that (1) would be the decision point to not change to the less secure system. |

I guess, what we have found in this thread that Mr.Samuel posted is that Amazon has an official Android build for the Kindle basic touch ( Kindle Migu in China ). They call it 5.7.2.1 in that market. https://www.amazon.cn/gp/help/custom...deId=202167860 I'm wondering why amazon built that android version only for china market, and would not port it to the rest of the works in everything newer. |

I think you may have missed a post. REcently we found out about the software update for the Kindle X "Migu" device. This isn't for the "KT 3" precisely, it is form the "Kindle X", sold only in china - One of my links meant to go to the store, but I double linked to the software update page. https://www.amazon.cn/dp/B01I235KH4 Thats the product listing on amazon.cn, where we can see that it is an e-ink device. Goodereader is the place that says it is the same hardware as the kindle basic touch, (167 ppi) at least. I downloaded the amazon firmware for that, and installed one of the APK from it on the android emulator, and the program matches the user videos of the e-ink kindle X on the amazon.cn web site. The properties files I have been able to extract show it is for the same named 'heisenberg' line as these later gen kindles like pw3 and kt3. Code:
DEFCONFIG_NAME="imx_heisenberg_defconfig" Code:
mfg="Amazon" board="wario" And it has the kernel modules for the e-ink screen: /lib/modules/mxc_epdc_eink.ko < attached is the e-ink waveforem update script from the android image downloaded form Amazon.cn > Although I should recognize it is also possible that they have gone the other way - and put an e-ink screen on the fire tablet line - the case shown on the store looks identical to the basic kindle side by side.

Android of kindle oasis

I looked into the apk file and find there is no /lib folder inside the apk. Besides,there seems the Kindle x Migu's system has no package installer to install third-party apps. |

Then I created an Android Virtual Device running lollipop inside that. Then I used the android developer tools to copy one of the APK files from the Migu system image I downloaded into the the Android Virtual Device I had running on my computer. |

OH, the very highest possible recommendation (and reputation) web-site. Normally, they only lift information from this site, add dramatization and ... Nearly as easy to believe as links that never got posted. |

Emmmmm…I've been typing so many words, before I could send it, is it gone?
“Migu” is a web of e-bookstore,in China,some e-bookstore have e-ink device. The difference is they make these e-ink from themselves. But they alway include some of the finished books. But many people read the novel that has no end. I like read these novel by "Jinjiang",many boys like read these novel by "Qidian" |
