Developers - Kindle Fire General

How many people with custom rom/kernel/recovery development are buying this? I'd like to get one, but I'm afraid that I'll get something with no dev support. This'd be sweet with CyanogenMod on it. So, chime in if you see this.

I would assume that this will sell better than the Viewsonic G tablet by a good margin, and the GTab has good support.

I'm not a developer but glad to see someone else from the epic forums eyeing this. I have been fighting in my head over this or a $200 ebay touchpad. Since tbe touchpad almost has cm7 I'm tempted but this has the 7 inch screen I want. Tough decision.

Its either this or nook color for me. But, this needs devs for me to get it.

The nook is tempting but I want something that will ultimately be faster than my epic and I think only a dual core will do. It shouldn't be hard for the devs that get this since its already running a highly modified gingerbread install.

I just can make myself get one without current work though. I want Kindle first, but if no devs pay attention, ill get the nook.

There is no guarantee the Fire cannot be rooted. Until that happens we can forget about a custom rom. Until then, I would only order the Fire if you want an Amazon book reader.

Well it has already been rooted and all the normal google apps are running on it. I would guess it will now only be a matter of time before we get custom Roms.
So have you placed your orders yet?

Also, users have gotten the market working on the device.

I'm not going to be anywhere near a traditional computer for a few days. Any word on an apk downloadable to the fire directly to root?

[request] MIUI ROM

I would really like to get a good reason to replace my nook color with a kindle fire, and i've noticed that the kindle fire has already seen tastes of CM7 and ICS (WITHIN A MONTH! ), but the one that would push it over the top would be the MIUI rom. Is there a developer that could work on this?
MIUI is not Open Source, so we'll have to see.
I'm getting the device for Christmas... so if its not started by then ill work on it ....

Its not open source.... that's why its a "port" they build it from aosp but aren't opened source.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I am getting the device soon, and porting MIUI was the first thing on my mind. Since it is not open source, it is not possible to compiile it from source, but it is possible to port it from another device since we have cyanogenmod somewhat running. Just waiting to get my Kindle fire for now

CM7 is pretty much fully working now
I'm using it as my daily ROM.
I thought that Amazon Video was still not working.

Works fine inside of CM7 using the browser, double tap to make it full screen

I've not used MIUI, but from what I've read it seems to be designed with phone usage in mind. What are the benefits in having it on the Kindle?

I believe Protekk from AOKP is getting the S3 on T-Mobile. I follow him on twitter and know he was tweeting up tmo for the launch fail and was selling lots of devices prior to the launch. Sounded like he was waiting to get one on or around the 27th.

yeah. i just want vanilla ice cream sandwich. that's it. and STILL retain Wi-Fi Calling capabilities. don't care for touchwiz. thanks for giving us great hardware, Sammy. but howza bout you just let google handle the software. no need to try and improve it.
and i also want these phones with frickin' laser beams attached.
Id be fine with touchwiz stripped of all bloatware, leaving sammy tweaks (smartstay etc.) and wifi calling, but give us the CM7/tmo theme engine, touchwiz is fugly. The single most important thing I want, and its a safety thing because I drive for work, volume rocker track skip.

MIUI ROM

Throwing it out there as I have the time to pursue but not the hardware - anyone willing to part with a p3113?, I'd like to port over MIUI for the Tab2. If anyone is interested PM me.
For the love of Google, someone get this guy a P3113. Or donate so he can get one! I'll throw a few bones your way Tuesday/Wednesday.
Anyone else interested in MIUI for our tabs? If 25 of us just do $10, this guy, might just deliver something awesome.
Can, you provide us with a little more info on your dev skills; can you handle such a task? Also, a donate button, or paypal link would help your cause, getting donations.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app
Hah' thanks for the plug. In theory this would be my first full blown rom. Ive always done the testing, never the up front work. I've gotten my tab to the point where I don't even care if JB gets ported to it. Everything works, its stable, snappy, and makes no sense to mess with it.
As for my Atrix4G...that ****s taken a beating and MIUI was my choice. There where too many minor bugs and since I want a phone that works full time, I stopped messing with that and went back to Jokers latest. Searching around I can't find anything for a 3113 and MIUI. In short, if I had something else to fart around with and get it to the point where it works as well as what I'm writing you with...I'd love to share, maintain, etc. Paying for the shorties education, sports, etc comes first...hah. took the honest approach with this one.

Well the GTab 2 is relatively a new device so it takes some time for the community to grow. As for MIUI I have seen the Gingebread version and it's far more superior to stock rom in my previous x10i, so I also like to see the Gtab ICS version of it

MIUI on the Atrix was outstanding - video cam and a few other minor issues is the only thing holding me back there. I could see the potential on a gt2 esp with a kernel mod... who knows, it's just a thought! polska dobra!
Sorry man but if you want a tab 2 then buy one. They're cheap.
Miui would be cool but it wouldn't be hard for any decent developer to port. Plus with the popularity of this tablet miui will come, just a matter of time.
i hear you - hoping some decent developer forgets to work on their nexus, xoom, kindle and picks up a tab2 instead... and gets the IR to work properly

In theory, couldn't one just take an MIUI rom designed for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and tweak that to work for our tabs?
Its CPU is very similar, and the GPU is the exact same.
Also this might be worth checking out aswell

I'm wouldn't dare touch the title of RecDev... but I'm interested in getting into it. I'm Gonna poke around in this... seems like everything to make this happen is sitting right there on the table so to speak.
And let's not forget that if it works on the 7.0 it can be ported to the 10.1 with less effort...

If there were more questions, I'd still be answering them. I am still subscribed to Epic 4G section lol.
So, for anyone who remembers the Puzzle Lock era I started >.>, I'm wanting something on the S3. Someone needs to enable the TouchWiz Tablet UX! Just like the puzzle unlock for the Epic, its all in the framework, just needs enabling. Supposedly, changing DPI doesn't just make it work, it has to be enabled first.

I still lurk around these parts because I think the SGS3 forums feel so cold and hollow, I think I've officially lost my desire to flash ROMs on my phone besides rooting. I will however flash a stable CM10 once that becomes available tho, because I have fell in love with it running on my Kindle Fire.

if it weren't for the DEV's, we'd still be under GB. NO ICS, NO JellyBean. longer waiting periods for the damn updates. C'mon. The Epic is a great device but because Samsung didn't provide the right attention to it... You get the point.
I think the boards are quiet because
There are a few alternatives to XDA for the Epic, like Epic CM's google+ page
Cm9 rc2 is out and it is dam near good
GB ROMs have kinda reached perfection
CM10 is just starting, and there is little to report
the majority of idiots have upgraded
And, sadly, a lot of devs have moved on
For me, as long as CM9 and CM10 support continues, i'm happy
