Kindle Fire 7 inch with Google Play + Play Books from LINUX






This doesn’t even require rooting your Fire Tablet.






On Linux

Enable ADB.

Enable Dev Options on the fire Tab by clicking on 7 times.Locate the “Serial Number” field on this page and tap it repeatedly. Tap it seven or more times and you’ll see a “Developer Options” option appear below it. Tap “Developer Options.”

Get the 1 file from http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Amazon%20Fire%205th%20gen&tag=823814-20 called "Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip" , unzip and collect only the files with the apk extensions.



USB or IP connect the FireTab.  

Now install and change properties in these orders :

adb install com.google.android.gms-6.6.03-6603036-minAPI9.apk
adb install GoogleLoginService.apk
adb install GoogleServicesFramework.apk
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
adb install com.android.vending-5.9.12-80391200-minAPI9.apk
adb shell pm hide com.amazon.kindle.kso


Now you should be able to fireup Google Play store after logging in with a gmail account.





All these are availabel for WINODWS at
http://www.howtogeek.com/232726/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-your-amazon-fire-tablet/

I had just read the bat files to skim out the commands for Linux.

মরি মরি, ২১ শে ফেব্রুয়ারী




মরি মরি, ২১ শে ফেব্রুয়ারী



Why is this important to have people of Sierra Leone people sing the "আমার ভাইয়ের " and have that broadcasted?

Why do we have the US Ambassador wear লুঙ্গি  and have that broadcasted ?

Why ইত্যাদি show get the foreigners recite in Bangla while knowing no-bangla ?
Have these foreigners dance like the indian clowns to show solidarity to Bnagladeshi viewers.  



It is because as Bangalee/Bangladeshi we have no self respect!
We feel confident only when we see these white folks accepting ( or pretending to accept) our culture. The same mentality shows in authorships,  writing a book in English is much more prestigious than writing in Bangla.


In general speaking and writing in pure colloquial Bangla is the most difficult skill to achieve for any educated Bangalee. As we been slipping in English words as sign of education, we have lost the simple no-englisg-mixing way of speaking or writing Bangla.

Kudos to মহিউদ্দিন খান আলামগীর ( Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir), the once State Minister of Bangladesh who tried hard to speak bangla free of all english junks.

DRM: IT and Legal Point of Views





WORKSHOP: Challenges and Opportunities in the Book Publishing Sector
August 27–28, 2014
Dhaka, Bangladesh
By: FICCI 



I had the opportunity to present the preliminary concepts of DRM and whats to do with eBook Piracy at the Session #4 Titled "DRM and Combating Book Piracy in the Digital Age". It was scheduled for 12:15PM, but finally started at 1:30PM on the Day-2.


Photo Credit: Arefeen Shovon @MobioApp


The session was chaired by Mr. Mustafa Jabbar ( Bijoy) , fellow speakers were Mr.A.K. Sabbir Mahbub ( Chairman@Dev.net ) and an Advocate from India. 

I explained how "DRM" is rather enabling all-parties to do what they are entitled  (legal) to do, it can enable us so that each party in the supply chain gets paid for their effort. Authors could eventually focus on their writings and less on worry over the uncertainty of royalty.    

Authors can get a direct feedback from their readers. 
DRM is a Ever-Improving project, since we started Boipoka  at MobioApp.com our web site has been hacked once and the Android app has been hacked twice. We been constantly improving our offerings to overcome these challenges. 

Currently for each 5 ebook sales, we sell one in India. 

Bangladesh Copyright Act-2000/2005 had put the cornerstones for the Authors to claim "Ownership" of their work just like any other property. This allows the authors to allow others to use the property within certain guidelines. This also chalks out the penalties in case of "Breach".  While this is not adequate but just enough to give the DRM-Pirates, Bootleggers a good run for their reputation.


The presentation slides are here. Please use them if you need but do-site this blog in credits.
