How do you get ice cream sandwich on your kindle?

Q. I have a kindle fire. I figure if you hack your kindle fire you can installed ice cream sandwich which makes your kindle a android tablet. Except I don't know how to. I need help

A. Hi Michael, I cannot help with the specific instructions but just one point to make here - you'd have lost Kindle Fire warranty when you rooted it. If you had instead Nook Tablet (that has much better performance and screen than Fire), you could've "rooted" Nook via microSD boot card and could switch back and forth between different OS versions by switching the microSD cards. Nooks have microSD slot while Kindles don't. Also, known issues with Kindle Fire are that it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is not true where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, Wi-Fi connection gives a lot of trouble to users on it, etc.

How do I repair my ematic Android Tablet?
Q. I have an Android tablet (with the ice cream sandwich operating feature on it) and I've been having problems trying to use it. For one, I can only charge it on my laptop. The port for the wall charger doesn't work like it's suppose to.Secondly, I think something might be wrong with the battery itself. It cuts off randomly (like my LG Ally Google Android cellphone, but that's a whole new question in itself) and that truly aggrivates me. Finally, the last thing that's wrong with it is that I seem to not be able to use the dang app store that's on it. If I could switch this whole thing over so that my app store was the Google Play Store, I would.. But, I can't (if you know how also let me know). Please give me some kind of help. Should I just return the dang thing or can this be repaired?

A. RMA

How can i upgrade my Archos 80 G9 from Honeycomb to Ice cream Sandwich?
Q. i have an Archos 80 G9 on honeycomb (android 3,1) and i would like to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
please let me know how to if i can.

thanks in advance.

A. On your tablet's browser:
-------------------------------------
Go to archos.com, select "support & account" from the top menu then "Downloads".
From there select "Firmware" and then pick your tablet model (Archos 80/101 G9 in your case).
Then click the Download Archos 80/101 G9 OS v 4.0.4 link that will appear underneath.

alternatively go directly to:
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_4.0.4-TEST/firmware_archos_it4.aos

After the file is downloaded you can just run it and it will perform the firmware update that installs ice cream sandwich to you tablet :)

Edit:
=======
Some devices won't complete installation this way(?). You might need to connect your tablet to a pc and copy the .aos file into the root directory of your tablet's drive. Your device will then pick up the firmware and ask you to install it.
