I purchased Fire HD8 (2016) to replace my beloved Kindle Fire 2nd gen (which damaged years ago), mostly for reading ebooks, playing movies. Since HD8 is not yet fully rooted and modded to android 6-7-8 like my previous Fire, I satisfied with sideload apps and default amazon launcher. However, when I try Microsoft Launcher, I found the app Maps running on it (only show in launcher): Amazon Map 2015, ver 2.6.0.0_265000100. which map data from Here.
Wonder why Amazon does not allow people using the app? Why they hide it?

Hi everyone,
Here is my problem. I finally got the MR3040 firmware updated to use it for the app dslr controller. It works very nice with my phone a android ZTE model Z790 v4.4.4, so I know the MR4030 is working properly. The Amazon 7" Fire tablet 5th generation OS 5.1.2 I had side load Google Play store in order to download the app dslr controller, which for some reason isn't working correctly. It shows up on the tablet with 2 icons. One says dslr the other says dslr gallery. The gallery doesn't show up on my phone.
When I run the either app on the Fire tablet it turns the screen goes horizontal and quits, going back to the main screen. I have uninstalled it with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Is it because of the side loading play store in or that the app thinks I didn't pay for it?
The tablet will link with MR3040, but the app just starts and fades.
Thanks for your input in advance. I'd really like the tablet to work, just because it is so cheap at $50.00 it would make a fantastic monitor.
Thanks again Jeff
Hi all, I have recently purchased 2 of the new 7" Kindle Fire for kids versions for my two young children and I'm trying to set them up within the "Kindle Freetime" childrens profile. The issues I have had so far is that MX Player Pro is not available on the Amazon Appstore? and I can only install the MX player (with ads) the second issue I have had is trying to install mx player pro from the google app store and then allowing the app into the kids "freetime" profile and this just doesnt work as no 3rd party apps (outside of the amazon appstore) are recognised by the freetime. Are there any ways around this? I would also require the kidslock touchscreen app to work within the freetime profile.
Hi all,
I've had help here before and am hoping for some again, I've got an old nexus 10 which I've rooted and turned it into a super restricted kids tablet for my daughter using xposed framework and nav bar mods etc it works a treat and she can use netflix kids by herself to find new programmes safely. I'm thinking of switching from netflix to Amazon prime and it seems the only kid friendly interface for prime video is available on the kindle fire for kids tablet. I wondered if there was a way to get a kid friendly interface for prime video on Android
I know there are other apps like bbc iplayer kids but these don't have paw patrol lol also if I'm paying for a streaming service I'd like my whole family to be able to use it
Thanks all

Fire HD8 (7th Generation) 2017 will not allow purchase of apps from the play store by card or paypal. Free apps not a problem to download. 'This app may not be optimised for your device' appears in the app, is this a clue? Can anyone help please:
Hello everyone, what apps or games do you use most on your fire tablet, I have a fire 8 2017 with only 3 apps (like youtube,chrome and VLC) so what other apps do you guys use. Thanks
I have a n64 and psx emulator. Also, Netflix, hulu, Shoebox and the ones you listed.

I use Launcher3, based on Pixel Launcher (Developed by Amir Zaidi I think) with a Fire Launcher workaround thanks to @DragonFire1024. Most of the time, you don't realize it's just a mask, but sometimes it glitches with for a couple of seconds before the launcher shows up. You never see the Fire Launcher, because the workaround crashes it.
