When it comes to the Amazon Kindle Fire, most people’s attention is on how to install the Google Play Store before anything else. Once you get that tweak worked out, you can start enjoying all the same apps as other Android users who are not using the special FireOS by the Amazon company.

You might not know it, but by adding the Google Play Store to your device, you have officially started doing something towards device customization — and that is exactly our goal with root access too!

Device customization can be oodles of fun for everyone, especially if you are someone who already has a cause for wanting to root the device. Most people already know about applications like Greenify, Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox and the SuperSU, but one app you might not have heard about yet is the XBooster application. With the Xbooster running on your Amazon Kindle Fire, you can change the system parameters through profiles. Once the profiles have been set up, just toggle between them to choose the performance of your choice. The Xbooster app comes with two main modes, namely the hard gaming mode and the multi-tasking mode. Those two modes offering the polar opposite of each other.
