MIUI Makes Its Way to the Kindle Fire
This is huge folks! I’ve run MIUI on most all of my android devices and I have to say that this is by far one of the most customizable ROM’s that I’ve gotten the privledge to flash. Everyone has their opinion on MIUI, it’s trying to look like IOS, it feels to much like an iPhone, and every other comment or flame from someone that hasn’t run it past the splash screen. My daughter (Alyssa) isn’t a fan for that very reason but (sorry Pumpkin) she hasn’t given it a shot with a different launcher, theme, mods, lockscreen etc.
When Toast bailed on cm7 for the HTC Evo 3D I reluctantly gave MIUI a spin. I couldn’t have been happier with a dev bailing on a project (no dis Toast….. I know you’re working on cm9……. *rolls eyes*). enough with the Android gossip and lets take a look at what we have going on with the Kindle Fire and XDA.
BTW…. This device will get more dev support then any device for 2012! The price is right and so is the software! Meg, Is it in the mail box yet?
We all knew it would be happening soon, as the AOSP ROMs are essentials for most new phones and tablets and the Amazon Kindle Fire is the latest and greatest device that MIUI calls home and the development of the Amazon Kindle Fire remains on fire (bad pun ftw!).XDA Senior Member leech2082 released the port which, for a first release, has a surprisingly low number of things not working in comparison to most ports that make first appearances on devices. According to him:
Everything seems to be working except MIUI Themeing and Video! Certainly you guys will find something I missed
So if MIUI theming and video are a couple of things you can live without and MIUI is something you’ve been waiting for, then now would be a great time to check it out. The installation instructions are easy and pretty standard for a ROM flash. Boot into recovery, wipe everything, flash and profit.
The boot up can take a few minutes, and as leech2082 will tell you:
what i have found is the boot animation may cycle twice before fully booting. Also after flash when you hit reboot sometimes it brings up the TWRP screen again. If that happens just hit reboot. Since there is not hard buttons on kindle we included Button Savior you will see if on the right side of screen by default
Not a big deal and easily fixable so nothing to be scared of and no reason not to take advantage of the always fun MIUI goodness. For more information, the shout outs, download links, screenshots and more thorough instructions, feel free to mosey on over to the original thread.
