I Love ICS On The Kindle Fire But I Bought My Kindle For Video Watching What Is My Best Option Besides Stock?
I think most of the roms out are capable of video playback if I'm not mistaken.
I'm loving the AOKP rom. Yet to try the other roms. Don't seem to catch my attention as much.
Hellfire CM9 ICS is the best in my opinion. Hardware acceleration works great so no problem with videos.
Any one tested the mic with this build?
[UNOFFICIAL][ROM][4.0.4][IMM76L] Vanilla CM9 for Kindle Fire [06/08/2012]
I know that one of the main reasons for the current Amazon Instant Video apk not running on most devices is that it has to be a Jelly Bean device, if I am not mistaken. Since the Kindle Fire HD is based on Android 4.0.3, can we expect to see a working ICS, possibly JB apk?
I am purchasing a demo Kindle Fire HD and would like to root it and install a custom ROM, specifically one like i have on my original Kindle Fire, the MoDaCo custom ROM. The reason? I like having access to all my Amazon purchases along with my Play Store purchases? Main reason I need both is I purchased Order & Chaos Online from the Play Store and the Amazon store and only the one from the Amazon Store works on the original Kindle Fire, the one from the Play Store installs but crashes to desktop, no matter what ROM I installed. That is why I must have both so I can install the Kindle Fire version from the Amazon store.
Is there a MoDaCo for Kindle Fire HD 8.9 or something similar?

Short answer NO. Long answer, the primary development for the HD 8.9 appears to have fallen on the very capable shoulders of Hashcode. At the present time his work is in early Beta, No sound, No camera, other issues besides requiring you jump through a few hoops to install. I would recommend that you root your Kindle, and live with that for the short term.

It is a demo unit so I will need a ROM, any suggestions?

You have two choices, stock OR CM 10.1 without sound, hdmi and 4g.
So stock is full featured?

LOLOLOL... OH God... oh man... If that was a joke, it was funny one.
Just updating this thread as Hascode's build is getting its way near perfection by the day.
Camera, audio, MIC and Bluetooth are working now.
It is not complete yet for sure but is definitively a daily driver and way better than Amazon stock.
I was wondering if I could use google hangouts video chat if I rooted my kindle fire hd. People with rooted kindle fire HD's please answer. Also, can someone give me pros/cons for rooting a kindle fire hd? Also how is CM different from vanilla android? Thanks!!!
