Amazon's 7-incher gets one step closer to a fully-working Android 4.0 port

Android 4.0 has been running on the Kindle Fire for quite a while now, but so far those users having the ICS port installed on the 7-inch tablet had to give up on one particularly important feature: audio.

Fortunately for them, a new build of CyanogenMod 9 for the Kindle Fire was released a short while ago bringing with it the long awaited audio support.

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 felling adventurous go ahead and try this on your Fire.
