Amazon Fire 7 2015 - install Play Store (no PC) - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Is there a way to install Play Store on the Fire 7 without root and no PC?
I've got two Chromebooks, don't know if that would help at all!
Thanks
HR21

Do you have an android device?

This worked for me. http://www.gregglestv.com/2016/01/50-amazon-fire-tablet-how-to-install.html?m=1

@glenawil. That's cool. The workflow I wrote uses the trusted sources of another working Android device. I was too worried about using binary files from someone else.

[Q] is there a application to root kindle hd 7

I need a app to help me root my kindle fire hd 7 I don't have a PC not sure if that's a problem or not
Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3
Great question.
You will need a PC, MAC or Linux to Root the Kindle Fire HD.
The other option is to send it in to a company and have them Root
the Kindle Fire HD 7". We do offer the service.
You can PM us and we will give you the details.
Cool thanks man

And your device is rooted? Did you have running Google Apps? Which GoogleServicesFramework.apk you have installed?

Firefox crashes except for 10.1 and 10.2 but the new firefox nightly works someone on another thread linked this dropbox file https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/fennec-20.0a1.multi.android-arm.apk I tested it and it works
Sent from my KFTT using xda app-developers app
I'm encountered the same problem with FF force closing after opening using version 17.0.
Once my Kindle Fire charges back up I'm going to try the nightly builds and if those don't work going to older releases from mozilla's ftp mobile directory.
Sorry I can't post a direct link - I'm too new.
Current setup is an unrooted KFHD 8.9.
Just looking for browser that will let me tweak an ad blocker and javascript to my liking.
I will let you know if any work.

Installed the current nightly off Mozilla's site - download was called fennec-20.0a1.multi.android-arm.apk - and so far so good even if it feels a bit laggy.
Trying to import bookmarks crashed it for me.

I checked my KFHD but couldn't not find any googleservicesframework.app (looked in /system/app and elsewhere). I tried both releases and nightlies (10, 18 and 19). None of them worked.
My KFHD is a rooted 7" model with the Play Store app installed.
Somewhat off-topic: Why does the Play Store tell me that Chrome is not compatible with my device? Does anybody know what it requires that the KFHD doesn't have without diving into the androidmanifest.xml file of the APK? Thx!

It works fine on the kindle fire. Download the apk from somewhere else and install manually. There are copies all over xda

Root - Install Google Play - Unroot

Hello guys and gals,
I was looking over the information for the kindle fire HD 7, and I personally own the Original Kindle fire. Through a bit of work, I was able to root, install the play store, and unroot on my original kindle. This allowed me to have the play store, and run the stock os and retain my prime access.
Is there a method that allows this on the fire hd? If not, is 1mobile.com the app store everyone seems to be using?
There's actually a custom Rom called Kinology that will let you keep access to Amazon Prime and Instant Video. So you can just root and stay rooted, just flash kinology and you're good to go :thumbup:
Edit: oh yes, and you get play store access too. Best of both worlds!
from my Viped out one x
I thought root on the kfhd didn't break prime....

Yes you lose prime access when rooted. I rooted because i was never gonna watch movies or show on this device. I got it for a gift.

Prime does work on rooted device I'm watching Wrath of Khan right now on it, never had any problem doing so

If you use a CM based ROM you'll lose prime, that's because they don't have the same framework as the amazon ROM, which supports prime. Kinology uses the same framework as the amazon stock ROM, and so with kinology you keep prime.

[Q] Stock ROM b1-830

As I am tinkering with my tablet, I wanted to make a stock ROM with the use of the XDA guide. Unfortunately that did not work and I bricked my tablet.
Fortunately I bought the same tablet for my mother and I was able to use a twrp backup to get my tablet up and running again... After installing and deinstalling twrp.
But, her tablet had an error in updating the Acer patch, hence my tablet has the same problem as well.
So now I am looking for a stock ROM for the tablet, which has no problem updating or is already updated with lollipop and the stagefright patch.
Does anybody know where to find it? On Google I can only find some shady sites...

Google Play Books?

Can someone point me in the right direction please? I'm looking for info regarding installing Google Play Books on my wife's Gen 3 KFire HD operating Fire OS 4.5.5.1
I rooted today using KingRoot.
Ideally, if possible, I'd like to stay with the stock OS since it's my wife's. Simplicity.
I have disabled the OTA update file.
Thanks

Go to your computer, Google root junky supertool and download it, make sure adb is enabled on the kindle, plug it in, unzip the supertool and run the batch program, wait a bit, and then you will see a bunch of options, it should be option 3 or 4. Follow the super tools instructions, and let it do its thing, and then your tablet should reboot with Gapps installed. This works with or without root. From this point you can install the play books app.
