The Amazon Kindle Fire is is a 7 inch tablet designed to access Amazon’s digital book, music, movie, and app stores. But we’ve already seen that you can root the device, install the Android Market, and run many third party apps which aren’t available from Amazon.

Head over to the CyanogenMod Installer website to download and run the Windows installer. Windows setup The Windows installer is just as straightforward to use as the Android app.

If that’s not enough for you though, it’s surprisingly easy to replace the Kindle Fire operating system with a different version of Android which isn’t as tied to Amazon’s services.

The first version of CyanogenMod 7 for the Kindle Fire was released recently, and while it’s still a little rough around the edges, the operating system works surprisingly well on the Kindle Fire. It also takes less than 10 minutes to install, assuming you already have all of the prerequsites in place.

There’s also now a tool that makes it possible to revert back to the official Amazon software, so the entire process is reversible. With that in mind, I went ahead and installed CM7 on the tablet today and switched back to the Amazon software… twice. The process isn’t really for beginners, but it’s fairly painless if you’ve ever installed a custom ROM on an Android phone or tablet before.

Update: It’s now also possible to install an early build of CyanogenMod 9 based on Android 4.0 on the Kindle Fire. It’s still rough around the edges and has a number of bugs to work out, but if you want to try it, you can follow our step-by-step installation guide.

Here’s a step-by-step guide, based on information and files released by xda-developers forum member JackpotClavin. If you want to know how to revert from CyanogenMod 7 to the stock Amazon Kindle Fire software, scroll down to the section near the bottom.

CM7 is based on Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but JackpotClavin is already working to bring Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to the Kindle Fire.

Before you get started, you should know that there’s at least one major bug affecting CM7 on the Kindle Fire: Audio doesn’t work. Graphics and video looks great and the tablet is excellent for surfing the web, playing games, or performing other activities, but if you need audio you might want to hold off on installing CyanogenMod for now.

Update 1: While original developer JackpotClavin has moved on to porting Android 4.0 to the Kindle Fire, another developer has picked up where he left off and audio is now working. All you need to do to get sound working is use Whistlestop’s update.zip file instead of JackpotClavin’s. The links below have been updated.

If you’ve already installed Jackpot’s CM7, you should know that you will lose data and apps if you switch to Whistlestop’s. The only easy way to install a new operating system on the Kindle Fire right now is to essentially perform a clean install, writing over any pre-existing data. Anything stored in the “sdcard” portion of your storage should still be safe though, so if you’ve downloaded apps, books, or other documents they may not be erased.

Update 1.5: The latest version also adds support for hardware-accelerated video playback.

Update 2: There’s now a much simpler way to install CyanogenMod or other operating systems. Instead of relying on modified ClockworkMod tool using the method described below, you can use the new TWRP 2.0 custom recovery which supports touchscreen input. To install it:

1. Download and run the Kindle Fire Utility on a Windows PC.

2. Root your tablet by choosing the option to install permanent root.

3. Choose the option to install latest TWRP Recovery.

4. Download the latest build of CyanogenMod 7 or another operating system and copy the update.zip to your Kindle Fire.

5. Reboot your device into TWRP by shutting down the tablet, then pressing the power button when you see a yellow triangle with a fire icon in the center.

6. At this point it’s a good idea to create a backup of your system using TWRP 2.0’s backup option. You can then restore later if you need to.

7. From the home screen choose the “install” option and use the file browser to locate your update.zip file.

8. Select the update.zip file and then choose the “flash option.”

9. Reboot your Kindle Fire and after a few minutes you should be running CyanogenMod 7.

You can still do all of this using the steps below, and it’s not a bad idea to familiarize yourself with them in case you run into trouble.

Also, you may not be able to use the Amazon Instant Video app, and the Kindle app from the Kindle Fire which supports Amazon’s eBook lending library, personal documents, and other advanced features doesn’t work. Instead you’ll have to use the official Amazon Kindle app for other Android phones and tablets.

Original guide

Prerequisites

In order to install CyanogenMod 7 on the Kindle Fire you’ll need to have the Android Software Developer Kit (or at least adb) installed on your computer. You’ll also need to have rooted your Kindle Fire.

I’ve already posted instructions for installing the SDK and rooting the Kindle Fire, so if you haven’t already done those things, you might want to follow those guides first.

I’m working on a Windows computer, so the rest of this tutorial will assume you’re using Windows 7. But the process should be very similar if you’re using a Linux or Mac machine with the Android Software Developer Kit installed.

Step 1: Download 5 files to your computer

JackpotClavin has posted links for the 5 files you need to get started. You can find download links at the xda-developers forum, and you should always check there first because the links may change if the files are updated.

But as of December 6th, 2011, here are links to the latest files you need:

Download each of those files to your computer and place them in a directory. For now I’m going to assume that directory is called c:cmfire.

Note that you may need to rename some of the files, especially if you’re using Windows. For instance, when I downloaded the log and last_log files, they were called log.txt and last_log.txt. Just right-click on the files in Windows Explorer, choose “rename” and remove the .txt from the end so that the files are just called log and last_log.

Step 2: Copy 4 files to your Kindle Fire

Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer with a USB cable. It should automatically show up on your PC as a USB mass storage device. Just copy and past all the files except stockrecovery.img to the root directory of your Kindle Fire. (It’s probably fine if you do copy stockrecovery, but you won’t need it for a little while).

Note that “root directory” doesn’t mean a directory called “root.” What I mean is that they shouldn’t be in any folder at all. They should just be in the base directory of your tablet.

JackpotClavin also suggests confirming the md5sums of the update.zip and updaterecovery.img files to make sure they’re not corrupted or incorrect. If they don’t match the values listed at the xda-developers forum you should not proceed as you could run into trouble.

You can find instructions for verifying the md5sums at xda-developers.

Make sure to unmount your Kindle Fire w
