MIUI 4.0 for the Kindle Fire (custom version of Android 4.0)
We’ve seen how to install Android 4.0 on the Amazon Kindle Fire, thanks to CyanogenMod 9. We’ve also seen what MIUI software based on Android 2.3 looks like on the Kindle Fire. Now you can have the best of both worlds with MIUI 4.0 for the Kindle Fire.
It’s a custom version of Android based on Android 4.0 — but with a highly customized user interface. The MIUI team released an early build of MIUI 4.0.3.2.2.3 Ice Cream Sandwich for the Kindle Fire this week.
It has many of the advantages of Android 4.0, including a user interface that doesn’t require hardware buttons, a quick settings panel, and an improved recent apps menu — although the recent apps menu doesn’t seem to be working properly in this build.
But the software also has some MIUI-specific touches, including a custom home screen designed to hold all of your apps, and a refined system panel with a bright white, gray, and orange theme instead of Android’s default dark black and blue theme — although you can also download custom themes for MIUI.
