Did you jump at the bandwagon when the tablet craze hit by getting an original Galaxy Tab , but now you are feeling a tinge of jealousy seeing the more modern UIs on newer slates ? Well, you’re able to rid yourself of that envious feeling by loading the Kindle Fire’s software onto that old Tab of yours. Giga OM did the deed, giving us an outline of the method — it’s mainly an issue of extracting the code from Amazon’s slate and installing it on Sammy’s — together with its results. Seems, the Tab doesn’t have each of the Fire’s functionality, though the elemental bookshelf interface (that is such as an app launcher), video app, books, and magazines are all available together with the Fire’s custom Amazon Store. Unfortunately, the Silk browser has yet to be enabled, and the UI still crashes at the regular, but teaching an old dog new tricks isn’t easy, okay? Head on right down to the Source for the total rundown, and there is much more details at XDA-Developers for those daring enough to try this little bit of software switcharoo themselves.
