Android 4.0 has been running on the Kindle Fire for quite a while now, but lately the devs working on this port have made great progress with it.
While still under development, the port has now received a custom lock screen, which no longer has the camera option since the
Kindle Fire doesn’t come with such an accessory, and a series of bug fixes.
These focus mainly on issues with screen rotation, Google Talk, and thumbnail previews of running apps.
Other major changes don’t seem to have made their way into this new build, so video still doesn’t work, which is definitely a major bummer.
The source code for this latest build of the Android 4.0 Kindle Fire port can be downloaded right now from the XDA-Developers
Forums.
Detailed install instructions are available in the same thread, so if you are feeling adventurous, go ahead and try this on your Fire.
