only use on kindle fire 2 otherwise you WILL brick your device

WHAT WORKS
(Basically, most items I tested work, except I couldn't get the new swype-style input going on the keyboard)
[02/12] AOSP 4.2.2_r1
[01/22] Updated with new 3.0.50 kernel including better battery life
[01/22] Newest PVR/Imgtec graphics binaries
[01/22] Update wifi firmware to R5.SP3.06
[12/18] Fixed battery deep sleep
[12/18] Added multi-user login fix mentioned by NotShorty found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2018146
Hardware Acceleration (hwcomposer)
HD Codecs (YouTube/Netflix)
Small amount of OTG (some devices w/ powered hub supported)
Sound

NOT WORKING
Bootanimation needs a display bugfix
Need to enable the swype-style 4.2 keyboard
I'll check out photo sync options
Looking into USB camera support (will probably be more useful when the 3.4 kernel is ready)

Downloads:
Should be running FireFireFire Bootloader 1.4a found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1632375
Have a custom recovery installed, such as TWRP 2.2.x.x+ or Cannibal Open Touch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2025793
Easy method for both -> Use Smirkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1500935

INSTALLATION
RECOMMEND FULL WIPE UNLESS UPDATING A 4.2 ROM Use Titanium Backup to restore apps.

Download the ZIP
Grab the GAPPS (12/12 from goo.im/gapps)
Reboot into recovery
Make your backup (You do make a backup right?)
Wipe Data/Cache)
Flash both the ROM and the gapps .zip files
Reboot and Enjoy

edit: if you have a problem with the keyboard crashing reflash the device and dont use gapps-jb-20130301-signed !!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does this include the new 3.4 kernel? A: No, it's not ready yet.
Q: Where's the "Developer" settings menu? A: Go into Settings -> About tablet, and tap the "Build number" box about 7 times. That enables it.

special thanks to hashcode for making the rom :D
