Is there by any chance we will get to ever see the Firefox OS on the kindle fire? Firefox OS will be released on Mid-2013 and is there by any chance will a developer will work on this OS? It would Bree awesome if we get this ported to the kindle fire, after all it is made to run on ARM processors.

Its very possible.

What I wonder is of there will requirements similar needed to run Ubuntu.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app
I was looking into it and it doesn't look hat to build it for the kindle at all. Once I he a new computer next week ill try it out. (Testers?)
And it doesn't need nearly as much power of Ubuntu. It can function on a lot less, it's made for new low end devices.
That would be very cool to see run on the kindle. Would make me thing about getting one for my self
It would be very nice to see it run, it sucks that im not good at editing kernels though

Don't be so sure about that. It has recently been discovered that Ubuntu uses CM10 as it's base for Android devices. Hashcode's kernel has made this device much faster and much more capable than it was ever intended to be so it's not too hard to imagine, after the bugs are ironed out for the official full release, that it could be ported to the Kindle Fire rather easily and without too much of a drop in performance.

Another t thing is of this is a OS for Low-End Devices(-$200), then could this have some Enhancements, I mean the Kindle Fire came from a OS(v.2.3) that was for Low-End devices, so maybe it will run smoothly.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app
Firefox OS is being primarily developed for under developed countries and so for low end devices in mind (so I read). If this is true, I would imagine that it would be screaming fast on a Kindle Fire.
Wouldn't mind playing with it if someone could figure out how to make a ROM for it.
I'm up to see it on the Kindle also. I don't particularly care for the concept of web based apps but if they make stand alone HTML5 software w/o a data connection required, that'd be sweet.
Same here. I been trying to get the Linux on Android app to work and its not work for me. So a Ubuntu on table would be awesome.

Those are previews and they barely work. This is not Otter 2. And Officially you need at least a 1GB of RAM and a bigger processor plus a lot more memory. Its way easier to build on Otter2 but this is Otter

Getting back on topic...
Firefox OS is currently being ported to the Kindle Fire HD7 and from the looks of it, we'll start seeing alpha releases within the next week or so. I'm not sure if there are any plans to bring it to the KF1, but I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to make it happen.

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.

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.

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?
Hey Guys,
Will the Cyanogenmod Rom for Kindle Fire be an offical release from Cyanogen?
I would have posted this in the development section, but I don't think I have enough post yet.
Thanks,

I think it starts with a port and someone willing to maintain for the device

hmmm i think so too. Was my decision buying an Acer Iconia A100 a wrong one? I hope not.
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.

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 never even used Amazon video anyway

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?
The Gnexus got the open webOS port today as you can see on the xda portal site. Do you we can get as they have similar processor power?

Well, one step at a time. First get it to work, then dual boot is the next step.
Finally, it might be possible to run them "together", for example running CM apps in Ubuntu Touch.
I mean by transforming the base Android system into a fully-fledged CM and connect it up to Ubuntu.
Not sure that is feasible yet, but there might be a chance. And it is sure a while down the road.

I don't think that's possible because none of the Java code is in Ubuntu mobile.

Really disappointed that it's only a "skin" on top of CM10.1, proper ubuntu is what we need, to actually run linux apps but still, every advancement is positive but I'm not interested in another android port, I like jelly bean as it is, AOSP ftw.

It's not running on top of CM10.1 is running on top of the CM10.1 kernel (and some drivers for the hardware) and I wouldn't say it's fair to call that a "skin". That's like calling every linux distro a linux skin.
true, my frasing is wrong but it doesn't change the fact that it's not capable of running linux apps, it's just another take on android, and on a tablet such as this I'd love to be able to dual-boot into android/linux, let's see where archlinux will take us but with the way things are changing and people upgrading to newer devices this will be left behind as well eventually, and to think that since the first quad core device a year ago today we call the tegra 3 a low-powered chipset compared to the powerhouses coming out, and people still don't have a quad core cpu at their home pcs and laptops, anyway, offtopic, let's see...
as far as I heard from many different people now it is just something to show the skin as main features like wallpaper, rotation and others aren't working yet although they should... Basically I would prefer a dualboot solution with stock ubuntu and android, but just my personal opinion...
