Amazon Kindle Fire already has its own open source Android 4.1 ... and it can be downloaded and installed!

It is known that Amazon he is preparing a new tablet. But this does not mean that you forget the one you currently have, and therefore does not stop working on possible updates and improvements to Kindle Fire, the best-selling Android tablet to date.

Therefore it is not surprising that today Amazon already has the open source version (AOSP) of Jelly Bean for your product. This means that it could already be working on an update to this version of Google's operating system and, also and although it is not recognized, that it is already taking the first steps in what could be Kindle Fire 2 (which, obviously, will be based on Android 4.1).

From what it seems Amazon's intention is to have available a new version of your operating system after summer, so it can be considered that what has been developed so far is a beta (test phase). What's more, what has been known is that, for now, it has certain problems with videos in Full HD (1080p), something that is normal because in order to use this type of multimedia files, it is best to have a quad core processor. Therefore, Netflix content or a few YouTube content are in trouble.

In any case, it is very possible that these problems can be corrected shortly, since soon Texas Instrument will release a new code for the Kindle Fire processor, so the Libion ​​code will be updated. This, in addition to allowing a better general behavior and improving the WiFi coverage in the CPU itself, it is also possible that it optimizes the reproduction of the videos.

But there is a very important detail that every Amazon Kindle Fire user should take into account: ROM (operating system image) is available for download and installed. Obviously, under the user's own responsibility. To carry out the process, you simply have to copy the ROM to the tablet, restart it in Recovery mode (which is done by holding down the power button while the tablet starts), erase the information (wipe) both the data and the cache and perform flashing.

Once this is done, you can now enjoy Jelly Bean on Kindle Fire, but instability will be present on the tablet. So this can be done on a trial basis, but not as something you want to have for continued use.
