Don't know if this is any good for compiling CM7/9 for the Kindle Fire but thought I'd link to it here in case it is.

I have been waiting a while for this to release..

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.

Hey, devs and users!
I'm currently working on a JellyBean 4.1 early port for the kindle fire. I am starting work today, and probably going to have an unstable release on the 6th or 7th. I'm going to try and use this ROM as a base ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849) and port it through dsixda's Android Kitchen. Please post any suggestions or comments below. Thanks!
Current Status:
Starting build [done]
Starting to compile and tweak [done]
Tweaking system components and fixing build.prop [done, but i decided to leave the build.prop alone]
Signing [done]
ROM Complete
Uploading to file sharing website [done]
ROM online [download is below]
The Iconia based ROM will be started on soon! For now, i am awaiting bug reports

[Support has ended and this ROM has officialy closed]
UPDATE: I am planning on making 2 builds. One based on the Galaxy Nexus ROM, and another based on a JellyBean ROM ported for tablets. I'm guessing I can find a JellyBean ROM made for an Acer Iconia 7", then tweak it from there. Then, I will decide which one works better, and compile a unstable beta for the public. So far, so good. And thanks for the support!
UPDATE: Confirmed that Galaxy Nexus port doesnt work for Android Kitchen porting method. I will try the Iconia pre-ported ROM and see if that works.

Thread moved from Android Development to General section.
Unless a Rom is available, it doesn't belong in the Android Development sub-forum.
OP, pm me once downloads are available & I'll move back to Android Development

GOOD LUCK! Add me to the watchlist. I'll gladly help test this out and share the word about it on OMG!Droid once you're ready.
I'm thinking of buying Real Racing 2 Kindle Fire Edition from the Amazon Appstore, but does anyone know if it works with Kindle Fires running CM11? I'm currently using a non Kindle-Fire version and it runs fine, but I'm wondering if the Kindle Fire version will run smoother.
Thanks!
If the app is designated as Kindle Fire Edition, it won't if your Kindle Fire is using a different ROM. ☺

How did I install CM11? There are lots of CM11 ROMs available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire/development
Or are you asking how did I install RR2 on CM11? I side-loaded the game APK (not the Kindle Fire version). Runs quite well!

If I am not wrong the smb version on shield tv is still v1. I read that google release an update to smb v3.
Will the shield tv receive support to it as well?
Don't know for sure but would likely come in an update to Android 8.0 as that Android version is supposed to have SMB 3.0
