Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past half year you probably know that one of the best selling tablets out there is the Amazon Kindle Fire. That’s why the many people who have bought it also happened to include some hackers and developers, eager to get something else than customized Gingerbread running on the slate. One example would be Android 4.0…
The Kindle Fire in its standard version serves more as a way to access Amazon services, rather than play games, watch videos, read and listen to music. So, obviously people tried to get the stock Android on it, without tweaks. They managed to get an alpha build of Android 4.0 running on the Fire last year, but it wasn’t usable for most users. And now here comes this video, showing a build that actually works, after many months of tinkering with the software.
The user who posted the video says that he’s been using Ice Cream Sandwich on his Kindle Fire for months now and it’s a decent experience. The software was put together once the release of the Android 3.0 kernel came and not even HD games and Netflix are working, as shown in the vid below. You can access this XDA Developers thread to get started on installing CyanogenMod 9 and the 3.0 kernel on your device.
