Software Information

Wow… I really enjoy using Energy Ice Cream Sandwich ROM on Kindle Fire. The user interface is better than Gingerbread for tablet. Too bad that this CM9 ROM is still not perfect yet as HW UI acceleration and 720p & HD video are not working. Furthermore, some applications and games do not work too. Else it will be my daily ROM on Kindle Fire now. Can’t wait for fully functional ROM in the near future.

Do visit XDA website to get the latest Energy CM9 ICS ROM and updates.
