@TGBB I’m not the one whining about an Android tablet on a LINUX Magic Mirror forum…and pissed off because NO ONE can help you… YOU ARE an idiot.
LOL see the problem is you actually think I care about what you think… You’re wrong, I don’t and neither does anyone else here… so go away troll.
Find someone your own age to play with…what like 13?

Stop posting in MY post then! No one is making you! I am NO troll I was here for advice etc like anyone else and I shared a idea and I got this for my trouble. You know what they say about kids if you ignore them they will get bored. Think I will do that in this instance! I am sure the way everyone is acting they must be younger than me or if they are older then it’s sad to be acting like this! Yo Mom lol!!! Childish!

Uh seriously? Now that the fun is over… here’s the deal
You asked a question about software that isn’t supported by this forum. A couple people tried to nicely point that out you. You came back with statements like “well this is a Magic Mirror forum isn’t it”? NO it’s actually THE MagicMirror2 forum…
As it was pointed out this is a forum for the MagicMirror2 which was started by Michael Teeuw who gave it to the world.
It’s also a forum for users who want to create their own experience and not just buy something and plunk down an image and BINGO it works.
IF you’d taken the time to read through some of the topics you’d see that. But stomping your little feet around because no one can help you because what you want isn’t actually supported is really NOT the way to go either.
So IF you’re here for that purpose I’m first in line to help you… If not then yes you are trolling.
IF you want to actually create a mirror based on this package and you can exhibit patience and take the time to search using the above search feature then all your answers will come.
This takes work. There’s NO shortcuts…and being short with people will get your ignored then NO ONE will answer you. If that’s what you’re after you are pulling it off nicely.
SO when you can act civil and have a question pertaining to this please feel free to ask…

I will NOT bother asking anymore questions and I wouldn’t ask YOU or anyone else who have NOT been helpful or childish. THANKS!

Boy, that escalated quickly!
@TGBB said in Amazon Fire 7/8/10 & Magic Mirror...:
I was giving people another option to make themselves a magic mirror.
Erm, no. Giving other people an alternative option would imply you already successfully tested this option. In fact you are looking for an easy way to build a smart mirror. Your approach is reasonable as not everyone is going for DIY solutions. In my initial reply I already pointed out to the project MaxBraun launched. This is running on a Amazon Fire TV Stick. So you should be able to run it on your Amazon Fire tablet as well.
Or - as I already mentioned before and others repeated that as well - you could run the MagicMirror backend on another device and launch a browser on your tablet which loads the website.
If you just want a smart mirror, then maybe look at https://glancr.de/ or https://www.dirror.com/ and buy one of the shelve!

Just to give my 2p. I run MM on a RPi in serveronly mode and then use a Fire Tablet as the display device inside of a small Ikea RIBBA frame. You do need to sideload some applications to get the best experience like a fullscreen browser and better brightness control, so it takes a little effort but it great for a first, cheap, Magic Mirror.
A single app would be easier, but MM2 has much more flexibility and customisation potential. I’m already working on a bigger Magic Mirror that will have sensors to detect when people are in front of it, integrate temperature sensing and many other things.
I’ve certainly learned a lot from just reading the forums and playing with modules, its worth it for the best experience :)
Hang in there!

I use the Amazon Fire tablet HD 10 and when I tried to connect with Magic Mirror, it was not working at all because I did not see anything different. I didn’t know if this had something to do with my tablet or it was because of Magic Mirror. So to test, I tried with different tablets of the iPad generations list(I borrowed them from others). Some of them worked while others didn’t.g. Any suggestion?
