(For Android 4.2.1/CM 10.1 use the top row gapps)

PLEASE BE SURE TO WIPE SYSTEM & DATA/CACHE (FACTORY RESET) WHEN COMING FROM AMAZON STOCK SOFTWARE.

(It's the "Wipe" button and then "System" and then "Factory Reset" button in TWRP -- this does NOT clear your sdcard space)

Be aware that the "sdcard" space has changed slightly from ICS to JB4.2. You will find your stock amazon OS files in /data/media/ or "sdcard" on the Stock OS. But CM10.1 will create a sub directory "/data/media/0" and call that "sdcard". And in TWRP it will also use "data/media/0" as "sdcard". This has to do with multi-user settings. So when placing files on the "sdcard" be sure to check both locations before wondering why that file is missing.

CHANGES:

[08/12] Includes a Trebuchet patch to fix the screen flip-flop when trying to drag an icon in landscape (by XDA user Wickets^)

[07/17] Camera: cleaned up DCC file handling for a bit more "Amazon"-like performance.

[07/13] USB Vendor ID / Product ID's have been reset to match the Amazon OS / TWRP values. Should help keep Windows drivers from going bonkers.

http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

Then you can setup the Kindle Fire Android projects by doing the following:

(This manifest allows for building Kindle Fire 1st and 2nd gen as well)

mkdir android
cd android
# Use main repo for CyanogenMod 10.1
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android -b cm-10.1
# Then add the local_manifest.xml for the Kindle Fire
curl -L -o .repo/local_manifest.xml -O -L https://raw.github.com/KFire-Android/android_local_manifest/cm-10.1/local_manifest.xml
repo sync
