I wouldn't mind trying doom and would like to see which is better.
I'm talking about the ones here:
GOOM GLES

and the various quake ports.
Before anyone complains, yes they are for purchase on google play, which isn't in conflict with the gpl license but it does not prevent anyone from distributing after purchase. The source code is available for these but I'd prefer not to have to compile. Acutally it doesn't look like the DoomGLES source is available. The developer should make it available.
I haven't played Doom but Hexen looks and plays awesome. I think they are by the same developer.

Yeah hexen looks pretty good as well. Do you have the apk?
I understand that the nexus 7 encrypts as you download apks (to prevent pirating) but in this case with gpl software isn't that in effect preventing distribution? And who is the person distributing in this case?
You can take gpl code and do anything you want to it, but if you distribute the binary you must distribute the source as well. Well, isn't it technically google who is distributing and not the developer? But ignoring that, google still hinders the ability to re-distribute the binary (in this case a gpl binary) if one so chooses.
Is there a way around this?
I bought it from the market. I recommend everyone doing the same.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I can understand that recommendation and will probably will purchase them, however as you are a developer you can understanding respecting licenses. The developer of the hexen/doom ports with opengl (and credit to him with the additions he's added) doesn't provide any links to the source code on his website. He may not like it, but with his modifications of the doom/hexen source, the source code must be made available of any binaries released.
Doomgles works great, quake2droid and quake3droid are available online somewhere PM me and I'll upload them to drop box. You would need the game files tho from the PC version.

CyanogenMod
What is CyanogenMod?
CyanogenMod is an open source replacement firmware for smart phones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code.
It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by mobile device vendors. Features supported by CyanogenMod include native theming support, FLAC audio codec support, a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, revoking application permissions, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking and other performance enhancements, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS), app permissions management, as well as other interface enhancements. According to its developers, CyanogenMod does not contain spyware or bloatware. CyanogenMod is also stated to increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases.
Although only a subset of total CyanogenMod users elect to report their use of the firmware, as of 30 May 2013, CyanogenMod has recorded over 5.1 million active installs on a multitude of devices.
Looking forward to see Firefox OS on our precious Gio Good Luck!
Good luck macief

XDA-Developers said:
The Android Open Source Project (AOSP), led by Google, is tasked with the maintenance and further development of Android. If you find a custom ROM that is based on AOSP, that means it will be closer to the original, vanilla Android created by Google rather than the bloated software created by Samsung, HTC, LG, and Motorola.

The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is an initiative created to guide development of the Android mobile platform. The Android platform consists of the operating system (OS), middleware and integral mobile applications.
The AOSP is overseen by the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), a Google-led coalition of over 30 wireless carriers, semiconductor companies, handset manufacturers and software companies. The purpose of the OHA is to further the development of open source standards for mobile devices.
The OHA member list includes Qualcomm, Broadcom, HTC, Intel, Samsung, Motorola, Sprint, Texas Instruments and Japanese wireless carriers KDDI and NTT DoCoMo. Companies that are conspicuously absent from the OHA member list include Nokia, Symbian, Apple, RIM, Microsoft, Verizon and Cingular.

AndroidCentral said:
AOSP is a term you'll see used a lot -- here, as well as at other Android-centric sites on the Internet. I'll admit I'm guilty of using it and just expecting everyone to know what I'm talking about, and I shouldn't. To rectify that, at least a little bit, I'll try to explain what the AOSP is now so we're all on the same page.
For some of us -- the nerdly types who build software -- the full name tells us what we need to know. AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project. The AOSP was designed and written by folks who had a vision that the world needed an open-source platform that exists for developers to easily build mobile applications. It wasn't designed to beat any other platform in market share, or to fight for user freedom from tyrannical CEOs -- it exists as a delivery mechanism for mobile apps -- like Google's mobile apps, or any of the 400,000+ in the Google Play store. Luckily, Google realized that using open-source software would ensure that this operating system/mobile application content delivery system is available for all, for free. And by choosing the licensing they did, it's also attractive to device manufacturers who can use it as a base to build their own mobile OS.
The premise plays out rather nicely. Google writes and maintains a tree of all the Android source code -- the AOSP. It's made available for everyone (you, me, manufacturers you've never heard of and not just big players like Samsung or HTC) to download, modify, and take ownership of. This means the folks at CyanogenMod can add cool stuff like audio profiles. It also means folks like HTC can change multitasking in ways that many of us don't like. You can't have one without having the other. The big players then use their modified version of this source to build their own operating system. Some, like Amazon, radically changed everything without a care to use Google's official applications and keep their device in compliance with Android guidelines. Some, like HTC radically changed everything yet followed the Android Compatibility Program (ACP) so they could include Google's core application suite -- including the Google Play store. Some, like the folks at CyanogenMod, enhance the pure AOSP code with additions but don't change the overall look and feel. Again -- that's how this open-source thing works. You can't have it without allowing folks to change it as they see fit, for better or worse.
Any of us can download and build the AOSP. We can even stay compliant with the ACP and contact Google about including their applications. Yes, any of us could build our own device using the AOSP code in our garage or basement with Google's full blessing. That's the beauty of the AOSP, and we wouldn't want it any other way.

That's like building ICS earlier than GB!? What the sense?

Wow, now also we're commanded?!
I got bored and decided to build from the master branch of AOSP. This branch has the latest code changes and fixes however its not a release branch so some things may be broken too. I haven't touched any of the code the only thing I added was root. You will need to add Google Apps if you choose to use them. Also you will need to wipe if you're coming from another rom. I will keep this updated if enough people use this, if not consider this experimental.

Would someone be willing to build android l from source for the sprint gnex? I am willing to test it but I don't have the resources or the space to build it myself. Also, I would like it to be stock without root as I don't need that for the time being and don't want to risk a brick of any kind.
From what I understand, even though some sources are up for the L preview, not everything is there which limits the usefulness of source builds at the moment.
There is an ongoing discussion of L porting in the general section and even though its for the Verizon gnex, just remove the very top line in the updater script of the zip over there to make it flash on toroplus.

Everything almost works but our open gl drivers aren't up to snuff and that pretty much can't be worked around at this point. Also it won't boot into android even though its about 90% of the way there, but full source is needed to hack around it.

Look, if like to start by saying I couldn't find the question section in tapatalk, and this seemed the most appropriate section to post in (move to correct one if necessary)
Anyway, my question:
I was wondering if it's possible to build either android honeycomb or tablet UI ICS (stock of course) for this kindle fire. I know that it seems weird to go back word in android versions, but honeycomb is my favorite and I wouldn't be able to build it as I don't have a Linux PC, and I'm having a surprising amount of trouble getting virtual box to work on my PC. (Yes, I'm using the correct cup architecture and have all required files) any feedback is welcome!

This would likely be better suited in the KFHD 8.9" Q&A forum. That being said, there will be significant work involved with porting. Honeycomb on these kindles would be like porting Windows 95 to run on a modern-day laptop. It might work, but it's unlikely. You'd have to spend a lot of time backporting Amazon's proprietary drivers (or even open source libraries, if such are still supported for older Android versions), and those are likely built with 4.0 in mind. Additionally, the underlying Android Honeycomb source code may not have critical components needed for proper operation on more recent devices like these. (It's worth noting that Amazon's stock firmware is based on ICS, so a large part of that work would likely be done already if you're porting that Android base.) Finally, I'd advise against porting older Android versions because they're not maintained or supported anymore by Google, so any compromising bugs or security holes (like the recent Stagefright issues) will not have been backported to those unsupported releases.
If you're still set on porting ICS, I haven't found any stock 4.0 build makefiles for the HD 8.9 on GitHub. You could use an unofficial prebuilt CM10.1 or CM10.2 ROM (look in the 8.9 development forum and use Xposed modules to modify the UI to tablet mode. I know of one Xposed module that backports tablet UI to JB ROMs, and it still works on KitKat/CM11. Those mods would save you a lot of time, as you wouldn't need to compile or backport older releases. If you want an up-to-date CM11 ROM to use the mods on, you'd need to compile with those sources (they're on GH here). If you're still having trouble, I'd be willing to compile CM11 for you.

Thanks for the feedback, my heart is indeed set on back porting honeycomb, I'll try later and see how it works out. I'm gonna have to research the recent stage fright bug (haven't heard of it). I figured I could just build android 3.2 from AOSP, set up the necessary drivers, and flash it. Even if that's not an option, I'll just try to build Stock ICS. I just like the older holo UI, and ICS and especially Honeycomb have it.

If the holo UI is all you're interested in, you can use any recent ROM and this Xposed mod called Holo Themer that forces all apps that it can to fall back to the holo UI interface. Also, if you're running KitKat or below (CM11), you can use TabletKat, another Xposed mod to bring back the legacy tablet UI from Honeycomb/ICS.

On a side note, do you think it would be possible, after modifying the system UI, and all the system apps (framework.res,etc.,etc.) one could turn the stock Amazon OS into stock AOSP-like ICS? Just wondering, because it seems like every custom rom I find has some big I just can't stand (aside from the other ones) either it's too slow, no he youtube, the lock screen doesn't rotate, etc. while I've never had any problem with stock Amazon OS. (Other then that the may bar placement/UI/keyboard suck, but that's easily fixable).

It could be possible, but considering all the significant modifications Amazon made to the OS, it would most likely be a long, complex process. There may be xposed mods available to try to tweak the stock UI, and you could try to replace all the stock apps in the stock ROM with their AOSP counterparts, but there's always the risk of bootlooping the OS if you make modifications it doesn't agree with. I think you'd be better off using CM11 or a prebuilt custom ROM instead of trying to reverse engineer Amazon's source to reconcile it with AOSP.

I'm gonna try to work on that, there's no way I'm the only one who's thought to want the stock UI---interesting thing I found in the systemUI.apk, I found all the stock AOSP icons in SystemUI.zip/res/drawablehdpi even the tablet UI icons, which really through me off. Also, almost all the Amazon OS icons were in SystemUI.zip/res/drawable-- my idea, do some crazy xml/png editing, and get the stock UI I'm looking for. Your thoughts?

Do have a list of these modules? I've set up xposed framework on mine, but I'm having trouble finding modules meant for kindles, and I don't want to be constantly playing the "trial and wait 10min to restore my compressed TWRP backup" game.

You could do that, but I think it'd be easier to copy/paste icons from an AOSP/CM9 ROM. (CM9 is the corresponding version for AOSP 4.0.3, which is still ICS.)

I haven't tried out the xposed framework on Amazon's stock OS, so I think you'll have to play with trial and error. However, you won't need to mess around with restoring TWRP backups - all you need to do to disable the framework is simply run touch disabled from the TWRP terminal in the /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/ folder. Then reboot, uncheck the problematic mod in the Xposed Installer, delete that disabled file, and reboot to re-enable the framework.
