I have a Fire HD 8 6th generation and the OS on it was just updated from 5.6.8 to 5.7.0. Doesn't match the information currently on the page. Also goes with the person above, in that their version numbers seem to be all over the place depending on generation. |

My edit has confused another editor and this is the right place to explain. I know [https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/specifications.html] is a [[WP:PRIMARY]] source but I think that should tell us when Android was forked. I'm trying to tread lightly to avoid [[WP:OR]] but I can explain here. Some people might say the original Kindle included an Android fork as the user facing interface is different. This is not a simple issue as people disagree in general how an operating system is defined. In a very strict sense the [[Linux kernel]] is the operating system but a as a whole to run Android applications you have Android [[AOSP]] and that is the true OS. Note: This doesn't include Google Play or Google Applications. The homescreen is however also included in AOSP but is not part of "the underlying OS". Even Google has forked that into [[Proprietary software|proprietary]]. |

Amazon says "Based on Android 2.3.3, API level 10" and "Based on Android 2.3.3, API level 10" (note however thereunder "android:largeHeap is ignored" that I just noticed). I assumed since they say "based on Android" (but "compatible with Android" for the new Fire OS) that Android as an operating system was not forked (changed OS source code). I would need a source for that. "Compatible" however implies "forked". In both cases I guess the "non-OS" homescreen app was forked (and Amazon App store, not Google Play included).

:Amazon forks the AOSP code each time they create their versions of Fire OS see[http://www.androidcentral.com/what-fork-fork What is a fork?]. The fork part (where Amazon change's the OS source code) is that Amazon has to create its own set of APIs to interface with Android, since they cannot use Google's set of APIs since they are not following Google's standards.

::Fire OS provides all the Android (AOSP) APIs (what they mean by "compatible"). What is excluded are Google's proprieatry APIs, that are '''not''' part of Android. From the good link you provided: "Making devices without Google's apps has nothing to do with forking Android."
