Amazon Kindle Fire "Silk" Browser

Hi All,
Amazon's "Silk" browser has been ported to other Android devices.
I tried it in my optimus one running CM 7.2.0 by adfad666 and it worked fine
Here is the link to the thread which contains the files and the installation instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418480
Check this out !
I try this browser is very beautiful but it also slow compare to others browsers.
Yeah, that is why the Kindle Fire was disappointing for most of the people. You could, however, have replace the Silk on Kindle Fire with something more functional.
I wasn't able to get it running on my Optimus V running IHO BACKside CM7.2.

higher resolution videos stutter/lag a bit because it is software rendering ( hardware should be enabled by the time it gets to play staore) but I think it is a great start off the bat.
No hardware acceleration :S 1080p videos looks slow, even on the S3
It's an alpha. Nuff' said.
Getting audio bug today.. video playing bit no audio

Note Taking Apps

Hey guys I'm wondering what apps everyone's using to physically write notes with a stylus.

I don't need it very often but when do, I use Skitch. It can save to Evernote, and so it can sync to other devices.

Ubuntu on Nexus 7?

Any experiments with Ubuntu on Nexus 7?
I imagine Complete Linux Installer would work. It runs through VNC, but other than that it should be fine. Just depends on what you wish to do with it

But yes it works

My Nexus 7 is envious of the Touchpad. >_>
I imagine it would be really annoying to use on a tablet this small (compared to a 10" that is).

It's annoying on a 10inch tablet too.

Very true, hence the reason why I never used it on my TF101. I'm just saying it would be even worse Android is meant for small screens, "normal" Linux distros are meant for normal laptop screens and desktops, also the biggest difference that separates the two are the interfacing options: Android is meant to use a touch interface, whereas Ubuntu and "normal" Linux distros are mean for a mouse and keyboard. I used to use Ubuntu on my Asus eeePC 1005HA before I got my TF101 and it was still a pain in the ass.
Yea, both devices would run Ubuntu fine, but you would need a mouse/keyboard for any sort of functionality.
I can't seem to install ubuntu on my Nexus 7, I'm using the app from the market. When I try to install it just says root access required to run this script. I have rooted my nexus with Super User installed and working.
Has anyone tried actually compiling a ubuntu compatible kernel?
I see there are some mentions of nexus7 kernel source.. perhaps ubuntu or mer/PA could be run natively
it will be done soon .,.,just wait and don't stop searching

Looks like it may be possible... eventually
I can't wait for it!

Is there any other linux distro that would work better on a 7" tablet?
Something more tablet-friendly...

No flash on Nexus 7??

i thought my browsers dialed the flash, but it seems the device is incompatible with adobe flash player. Why would Google follow the lead of Apple and do this?
How to watch flash?

Its not Google fault as such, Adobe abandoned mobile flash so Google couldn't add it since they said they wasn't going to support it past 4.0. You are able to sideload it and it does work pretty well with firefox beta. You should be able to find the flash file on this forum there are lots of posts on the subject.
To get file see here, its just been posted this morning
