Loading ...A hacker has initiated the installation of Ice Cream Sandwich on Amazon Kindle Fire. Although the hacking is still incomplete as it lacks support for Wi-Fi, audio, accelerometer and light sensor, the execution of an evil plan is still on. However, the transitions so far look rather irregular.
What’s more, the perpetrator by the name of Steven had the audacity to post a video of Ice Cream Sandwich running on Kindle Fire. He posted some additional information in the XDA Developers forums.
The hacker aims to start an open source project for Ice Cream Sandwich on Kindle Fire and he will soon register his code. This was very much on the cards as the Android 4.0 code is open source.
Hackers have developed a liking for Kindle Fire as it is reasonably priced at $200. Moreover, it carries a dual-core processor and is extremely popular amongst PC users. Soon after it was launched, users learned the technique to root the tablet and replace it with the Android Market. Thus, they had more options at their disposal compared to those offered by the relatively smaller catalog of Amazon App Store.
For those who want an even better Android experience on their Kindle Fire, there is CyanogenMod 7 as a substitute for the highly customized interface designed by Apple.
Even though the company is incurring a loss on the sale of every tablet, Amazon is not too serious about the hacking of its Kindle Fire. Guess the company heads are not really being given sleepless nights by the troublemakers.
