“as they have dropped in price atm and it’s easier than buying a Pi and coding it and or alot of effort”
Sooooooo you’re saying “I want this I just don’t want to put the effort into it”…
This is not that type of thing. We have pro’s here helping those who want to learn something…that’s what this is…
THIS was done because someone wanted others to benefit from his hard work and took, and still is, the time to make it better … ALL done for free!!! The ONLY thing that is ever asked is that the user put some effort into it. Simple enough.
There are SO many people that have helped me here and without them I would have been lost NOW I’m writing my own modules and have learned and still am learning js.
THIS is what THIS is. This isn’t a “I’m gonna buy me a cheap tablet and then just plunk an apk on it and have what I want” thing.
Let me tell you how many people have donated their time and talent for FREE.
We’re sorry if you’re answer doesn’t come within 3 seconds of the question and that it doesn’t do what you want…you’ll have to put effort into it.
A little kindness goes a long way…

Have I joined a kids forum?!? Feels like it… I was giving people another option to make themselves a magic mirror. I didn’t know this would cause such a knicker twist for many and I didn’t know this was a exclusive club either. I was going to build a Pi version also but I was asking if it would be possible in what I asked and thought if it helped others to be able to make a magic mirror more easy then I didn’t see the prob with that (after all this is a forum and they are normally to ask questions and share thoughts and get advice). I hadn’t moaned once about waiting for a answer either?!? Not sure where you / others got that from. I cannot be bothered to argue with people acting like children.

Apparently…did you get permission from your Mom to be here?

‘Your Mum’ insults = children. Thought I’d ask yours instead. Bl*ody grow up! Keyboard tough guys make me laugh but also VERY sad! All I wanted was advice!!! I won’t bother asking anymore questions here I will just look get what I need and that’s it!

@TGBB Ní féidir liom a fháil ar mamaí ach d’éirigh liom as do chuid féin
Slán, táim déanta agat.

Obvs you must be 5 years old! Go away. If you have nothing decent to add then grow up! Also writing in something else other than English then I hope it’s against rules because it will be a insult!

@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!

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?
