I just saw Amazon's announcement for the new Fire Tablet lineup, and was very happy to see that the rumors where true, and the new version of Fire OS (5.0 Bellini) is a lot more close to standard Android than ever before. However, i am very worried because after looking all over the internet for a list of supported devices, i found this quote in the Amazon Developer Program page:
"Our new tablets ship with Fire OS 5, with features coming to the 4th generation Fire tablets (released in 2014) as part of free, over-the-air Fire OS updates later this year."
I trully hope that this is a mistake, since the older 2013 lineup of Kindle Fire actually have significantly better specs that the new 2015 models. In fact, i own 2 Fire devices (Fire Phone & Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 2013) and have given as a gift 2 more (Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and HD7 2013), that all have better specs than the new lineup, and should easily run the new Lolipop based OS.
I am not a developer, just a trully grateful XDA fan, an i was wondering if the worst case scenario becomes real, and none of those devices are oficially supported, how realistically possible would be to develop a custom Fire OS 5 rom for them, now that Fire OS is way closer to stock Android? I remember that back in 2011, a gentleman made a great custom rom for the Original Kindle Fire. The name if im not mistaken was "Modaco Custom Rom".... Would that be possible now? Thanks in advance.
