I just don't see a forked Android mainly because Facebook doesn't have the app ecosystem yet that could replace the default Google apps. These apps will not be available for a forked Android OS.

I think this is the reason why there isn't an Amazon phone yet. For example with Maps, Amazon is still building its Map service.

(edit) I guess they could release an Android phone with the Facebook Home Replacement installed by default.
