[Q] what generation is my kindle fire topic

I'm a newbie.

My wife had a kindle fire for a couple year. A year ago she bought a Nexus and put the kindle in the closet. I dig it out yesterday to mess around with it. I remembered I rooted to Android when she first bought. Now I can not tell it's a first or the second generation. I want to flash it to the new ROM and Kernel.

The following is the specification I copy from the About Tablet.

Model Number: Galaxy Nexus
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.0.21 gedemis@gedemis-F5SR)) #17 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 25 16:45:04 CEST 2012

Memory: 426 MB
CyanogenMod version: 9.0.0-RCO-otter-UNOFFICIAL
Build Date: Fri Apr 13 12:53:02 CEST 2012

PLease guide me to the right direction so I can identify what generation is my KF
Thanks for your help

What can be done to a 4th generation Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"? topic

Hi everybody.
I just ordered a new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"
It's just for testing, im 100% sure i will return it back to Amazon as soon as I've learned whats FireOS and what can be done.

I'm saying this because I've read some forums and i think i know some things, but not everything.
I've read I need to know things like firmware version of the tablet, Software version before doing anything risky.

My objective is realise if this tablet can be a great deal for me. For instance, I NEED YOUTUBE. I've read and watch some videos and it's not complicated. great.
But... What about alternative markets? or Google Play itself? Launchers? any Pure Android ROM?
I've seen root can be easily done (as far as i've understood) with TowelRoot, wich, i understand, is a reversible thing (superSU app, unroot)

What else can I say? Im not expert, but I'm not dumb. if you guys want me to check a step by step guide, I can do it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards.
