Needs to be a fairly new one

I haven't yet. However I've used it for the DVB-T dongle and other USB
connected items. So I so no reason why not save for you need a program for
Android (fire is Android) and I believe there is see wiki for the address of the google play store.

find some instructions to install the Google Play Store on your Fire
then install the NanoVNA app right from the Play store
profit!!

used it on a repeater site last week again

There is no need to download from the Play Store.?
Go to GitHub/cho45 and download the release directly from the releases section then sideload it on the Fire tablet.?
Here's the link:.? ?

You will get updates faster from here than from Play.?

I never thought about using a Fire as a larger display. Larry, you speak of "side loading" an app. Pardon an old dude but I don't know how to do that. Are there instructions somewhere on how to do that. I could look it up, I guess, but asking someone who knows is quicker.

As a side thought, is there a way to turn the Fire into a monitor (display) for other applications say, like, connecting a Raspberry Pi to it?

Thanks Oristo,

That helps. Also, I found a couple of different ways to use the Fire as a monitor. A couple require paid for apps and a couple more use remote desktop software to do it. Going to give them a try.

Tried installing on my Fire and get Error parsing package.. Are there are pre-requisites to install this pls

Mike

my Fire and get Error

How old is the Fire tablet?
Does it have Play Store or did you sideload?

When I download NanaVNA-Webapp-nightly-e20d9ae.apk from the Github.com/cho45 on my 4 month old Amazon Fire 10. using web browser "Silk" I click on the .apk and get a popup, "Do you Want to Download" I click, "OK" it gives me another popup "Done do you want to open? I click on OPEN and I get "PARSE ERROR - There was a problem parsing the package."
I downloaded the package x2 times. I also tried AKP INSTALLER app I had downloaded and used a number of times.. Same issue. Same error.

Second ITEM.. I have performed the "GOOGLE PLAY install to my Fire" at least 2 months ago, used it a number of times. No problem.. A number of posts talk about downloading "NanoVNA" from GOOGLE PLAY and it will run on the FIRE... When I go to GOOGLE PLAY I do not find any app named "NanoVNA" but find one named BLUE VNA.. and others like Metro VNA by the same author... What is very interesting is I just logged into google play using this Windoze 7 machine and I can find NanoVNA by cho45 just fine. Apparently the issue is on the FIRE. Blue VNA is written by DAn Toma- I can search on either and get it, but NanoVNA or cho45 brings me nothing.. Finally - On my Motorola moto e* plus... NanoVNA by cho45 is 1st on the list...humm.... moto e* is android 8.0.0 the Fire is Fire OS 5.6.4.0... all I can find regarding it's OS.. it was an "on sale" and a lot faster than my 4 yo Samsung.

Merry Christmas..

Consider this post NO COMPLAINT but rather REPORT OF FINDINGS...

<Related to the first comment. Google Play will not display apps that have a higher android version requirement than the target device. The requirement stated for the NanoVNA is "Requires Android 7.0 and up". The Web based interface has looser requirements and sometimes works when the apk will not. Try running with WebUSB by accessing >

Merry Christmas..

You can install the Android Nanovna app on your Samsung along with TotalCommander and the use TotalCommander to copy the Nano apk from the installed apps folder to downloads. From there copy it over to your Amazon tablet and sideload it. Others on the forum have been able to sideload the apk on fire tabs without issue up to now.?

According to your previous message your Amazon Fire Tablet has OS 5.6.4.0. The wiki at shows OS 5.6.4.0 is based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.

That explains why Google Play Store will not display the NanoVNA app on your tablet. The wiki also says your Fire Tablet is 7th generation. I believe 8th and 9th generation Fire Tablets work fine with the NanoVNA apk.

A couple of weeks after I bought the FIRE as it's only 4 months old yesterday. Amazon sent me a "Special Offer" to trade in my FIRE for the "Latest". I felt it was a "Bulk email" to all FIRE Owners on their list, which it was, but they never indicated #1 there was a problem #2 the problem will continue as new apps are released that take advantage of later versions of Android 5.. which was obsolete that day I bought it..I'm not sure but They were haaving a "PRIME DAY" and suckered me like they did Joe and Sally Sixpack.. What pisses me off more I gave away my 7 inch quad core Samsung to a deserving young lady who lost a baby to SIDS. She was here last weekend housecleaning for some Christmas money. I should trade back for the FIRE.. And I bought the fire with 64Gb RAM not 32.... Anyhow... 2 options - Amazon offers 7.3.1.1 as a download .bin file... Yet no instructions. How woul done install it and would it work, or did they change hardware. Both are Octo-cores..

I saw this too.. Has anyone tried it... the claims seem to indicate an advantage to where I am at with regard to being "Throttled" by Amazon. BUT- it does not change the level of my OS... My point being even if I "UN-Throttle" Amazon will the NovaVNA app run on OS based on Android 5... Here is the link:



Merry Christmas to all, I'm leaving for the Airport, I'm schelping the family too cheap to hire an UBER driver today..relatives coming to town, bearing critizims and opinions galore..Tiz the season... reminder to self--Stop at Liquor store.

Read my note on purchasing Chromebooks. They actually come with an 'expiry date' after which Google will no longer offer any type of updates. A number of forum members have installed Linux on their older Chromebooks due to this 'Feature'.?

Looks like Amazon is learning from Google

Amazon has updated the various Fire tablets a number of times over the
years. Many of their devices, even including ones that were being sold
earlier in 2019, are stuck on Fire OS 5, which is derived from Android 5.1
Lollipop. Those include the Fire HD 8 through the 2017 model (replaced in
2018) and the Fire HD 10 through the 2017 model (replaced in 2019).

Some other models run Fire OS 6, based on Android 7 Nougat. They include
the 2018 version of the Fire HD 10 and the 2019 version of the Fire 7.

The newest version of Fire OS is 7, based on Android 9 Pie. The only model
to date that runs that version is the 2019 version of the Fire HD 10.

Amazon doesn't do major version upgrades of Fire OS on their existing
devices, despite the minimal hardware differences between them. (It
probably means that they don't want to bother to implement clean upgrades
that preserve all user data.) That means that the older ones get stuck on
earlier versions of the Android SDK and won't run some newer apps.

Just did this to one owned by a friend. His Chromebook wasn't even that old yet, with a January 2019 date on the bottom. Yet they were already making noises about it going EOL soon.

Putting a different OS on there is somewhat a convoluted procedure but not at all difficult. Best bet for most devices is to just completely DITCH ChromeOS completely. Some hardware that's not true, but the run of the mill Chromebook takes linux-only installations in stride, and once it's done you'll love it. Most devices have tutorials on-line, be sure to look yours up before trying this.

After you get the thing into developer mode, it's fairly simple. There are several alternative BIOS files to choose from, and the "GalliumOS" Linux distribution is optimized for Chrome hardware, and is generally quite nice.

If your Chromebook is one of the smaller ones (16GB or less) then you need to set it up to use a largish USB or SD memory device, or an external hard disk or SSD, as the /home directory if you intend on keeping more than a little data on there.

My friend is ecstatic about GalliumOS on his little machine. It was bloody useless under ChromeOS, that thing being just a glorified web-browser meant only to access Google's revenue-generating stuff. He now has a real desktop, a real office suite with full capability for printing and formatting documents and spreadsheets and presentations. And it's all stored LOCALLY, and not out somewhere in never-never-land, with who knows what sort of security.
