John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

What's also important to remember is that, you bought the hardware that "is" the tablet. It's your hardware to do what you want! Amazon takes a risk by using hardware that they did not engineer to build a tablet to run their software (which is also on the backs of open source Linux software). Trust me, they get enough people to put up with ads to continue putting out fire tablets. Interesting concern though, I have thought about it :)

2023 sadly this guide no longer works, the interface has changed and so have permissions and Fire Tablet firmware. However, I managed to get Google Play and Book store installed. I picked up a white Certified Refurbished 10 inch tablet for £135 I was tempted to wait another eight days to see if they went down in price, but because the white version was limited stock, I decided to go and order, and then wait for Prime day and if they go down in price, then I can send this one back and buy another cheaper, but the white versions might have all gone. I just tried one ebook which is the reason why I wanted the tablet for and it is fantastic. So much better than trying to read on my Pixel phone. You can get cheaper tablets same size for a lot less, but some of the bad reviews put me off buying one, as one review said about the charger blowing up in his daughters face when she turned it on. I have just tried KZbin and I used Costa Rica 4K and the quality is (swear words) fantastic, I also had to go old school and play Tiffany I think we are alone now and the sound quality is very good, not tinny as some people say it is. I was looking at the new Google tablet, but at £700 so £566 more expensive, this is well worth it, especially if you can it in a colour that you want. I am sick of just black devices which is why I brought this one, white tablets matter, take the knee people.

Holy crap! I might actually dust off my Fire Tablet now! Thank you!

[@BCWBAS23]

Thank you so much! I was able to get the aps needed for my elderly mother that she was missing! Also, just an FYI...Today, I got version 32 but I was still able to do everything for my Fire HD8

Thank you. How are the updates from Amazon then working? Every time you update, you need to do this or you cannot update anymore?

[@jaymariepomales5113]

I'm a visual learner. I tried reading on how to do this but was struggling. Thank you.

[@projectinitial_9250]

Thanks so much bro! This makes it so much better on the fire HD8!! You sir have earned my sub!

[@woozle32]

This fixed my Kindle fire 7 (2019). It's so much faster and useful now. Thanks!

Never knew this was an option. Then again, you repeatedly show me stuff on this channel that I never knew was an option.

Thank a bunch for this video, I just bought the new Fire HD 10 11th Gen and this is working perfectly. Very cool.

[@nathankean7968]

Did your tablet come with the fireos that allowed everything to work?

[@arnoldthegreat4138]

i tried this on my fire 7 tablet 2019 version and it works my advice dont update and dont sign in your amazon account it works like a android tablet thanks for this ETA prime

Does Nova Launcher work on older tablets including the 10" 2017 model? I am still seeing either downgrading the fire launcher or the Hijack app as the only options. Not what you are showing. Wasn't sure if this option is exclusive to the new version.

[@markikoy18]

YEs. Just did it on an old 2017 Fire HD 10

[@LightByGrace]

Thanks for all of this info! One issue I ran into....After following all of the instructions here, I was unable to open any of my Kindle books on my Fire HD 8. Everything else functioned just fine. I attempted a restart, a manual shut down, and a 'hard restart' (holding down the power button for 40 seconds) none of that helped. So I went back into the Fire Tool, went into "Manage Amazon Apps" and selected to restore all of Amazon apps. That seemed to do the trick. I'm not sure which of the apps that had been removed killed my books, but something did. LOL! Just thought I'd share in case that happens to anyone else!

[@timmywashere1164]

The Kindle app might be the one you're looking for. I say this because Kindle is the name given to the devices that's singular purpose was for the reading of e-books. But that was back in the day when iPhones only played music we were all so two thousand and late.

[@LightByGrace]

@@timmywashere1164 That makes sense, thank you!

[@jameswallace8202]

God Bless You, this is exactly what i needed since Christmas

[@simplyme8753]

just did mine...quick and easy... thanks for the info

[@brownranger1797]

Well this is a promising turn of events.

[@peterhahn4969]

Great Video, as always! Did somebody managed it, to get the DJI fly app work with this method?

[@lj6278]

Thanks, a very clear tutorial and very good narration.

[@allegiant001]

Thanks! You did it! It worked on my Amazon Fire 7 9th Generation tablet. You are the best!

[@ItsFinical]

let's go now I could play games I own on the play store on a fire hd10

[@chriswright8074]

The fire 10 using that same APu from last year

[@nicksewatsky1482]

ETA- Does this method still have a slight delay back to the AMZN launcher when the Home button was pressed. It doesn't appear show up in your video though so maybe it was patched???

[@christopheraaron8299]

I ordered a Fire 7 tablet on sale for $35 and I'm definitely doing this.

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

It worked beautifully. Thank you, sir! I did it on a 2017 Fire HD10 tablet.

[@dadams788887]

Great info didn't know it was that easy to make it a more normal tablet. Does disabling the bloat increase performance much? I saw your full review and I wonder if this would make some of the games run a bit better

[@adalbertovilla7217]

You know a way to improve performance on the hd 10+? I’m tryna run CSR 2
