Is Amazon planning on updating KF to ICS?

I know that hashcode and others have already ported ICS, but does anyone know if we are getting an official build of ICS from Amazon?

Doubt it. Amazon will want to deliver ICS on a 2nd generation device (ahem, the possible 10" Kindle Fire 2)

Amazon will save updates like that for next Gen kindles and will keep their UI the same and keep it locked to only the amazon app store because that is where they make money. Amazon actually lost money on kindle fires they are sold for 199 though cost like 203 to make

it won't be ICS it'll be a gnarly inbred forked version of whatever.

I don't think so because if they port ICS to the kindle fire,it may hurt the kindle fire 2 sales and anyway I think 3rd party roms are the best and hascode kernel is the best.Who cares about official ICS when you have got gederom and other roms that are better than stock ICS.There ui is not great because it makes the kindle fire feel like a kindle not a great Android tablet.

Probably not. But if you want ICS, give gedeROM a try.

kindle fire hd have better quality and it is better made, but the google nexus 7 is faster. but i love my kindle, with my tweaks and the exellent kinology rom is great!

Not sure what to say since (ACCORDING TO HIS PREVIOUS POSTS) the OP has both devices. So..... He would be in the best position to tell others.
Not sure why the question was asked, unless the op is trolling.

Hhmm we should contact hashcode, if he could compile aospa. We have an aosp rom and cm. So it should not be too complicate for him.

Porting stock ROM from other Kindle Fires?

Would it be possible to port the stock ROM from the Kindle Fire 2nd Gen to the 1st gen kindle fire? Honestly there's not much difference between the two.. Just upgraded hardware.

I've been thinking that. Why not ask ichigo? He is good at porting and has a kf2.

We've had a discussion about this already. Due to hardware issues and other incompatibility issues, it has long been determined its completely unsafe and impossiable to get the Stock KF2 OS in the KF1.

I believe I misspelled the word impossible. I knew I post like this would pop up, so I had to write it like that.

Likelihood of Fire 8.9 getting a 4.4 rom

So I was gonna pick up a KF HD 8.9 to play with and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts of the likelihood that someone will make a 'good' kitkat rom.
cheers

I suppose it is possible but I think at the moment the devs are focusing more on rooting and cracking the bootloader of the new Kindle devices.

I'm guessing no way

yeah, 4.4 may run faster than 4.3 on some devices which has 1G RAM like KFHD, otherwise, I dont think we need to upgrade to 4.4.

i've read that n2aos will eventually come out with one. but who knows when

Google says that Galaxy Nexus will not gonna be able to upgrade to 4.4 due to OMAP processor and KFHD is also a OMAP processor device, so ......

At the risk of getting flamed for a dumb noob question, does this thread imply that there is a stock JB ROM for the Fire 8.9" HD?
I've doing my best to find stuff for myself, but it's not that easy being green!

Not sure what the question is. There are custom ROM's for the 8.9 that's last years model. There is nothing yet for the 2013 Kindle's yet no matter the model.

Now I'm confused, according to Wikipedia there is only one version of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9", released on November 20, 2012.

Well, yea that's right. The new model is HDX. Only the 7" had a 2013 production as well. So what is your question?

Thank you. My question is that I'm looking for a stock Android ROM for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with 4G (which I think may be called LTE?). I've found one thread, but there doesn't seem to be a working version.
