Settings > Device Options > tap on Serial Number 7 times in succession. Place these newer apks inside the c:\amz folder.ĥ. Versions for other DPI or non-Lollipop versions of Android can cause problems. It is important that you only get a version of Play Services 8 or newer ending in -236 as this is the correct DPI and correct build for the Fire tablet and Lollipop Android.
So I suggest you grab most recent versions of these two apps from APKMirror to replace them. I noticed that the Playstore app and the Google Play Services app provided by the "Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip" are months old. Move this "amz" folder to the root of your C: drive, so that it is c:\amzĤ. Unzip this and rename the resultant folder from "Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store" to "amz" or something nice and short. Grab the "Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip" from the XDA page I linked above.ģ. I assume you have updated to Fire OS 5.0.1. I actually used a hybrid of these tools and my own method to do this, which I will describe as best I can.Ġ. Here's the XDA page with info on getting Google services etc on the Fire. Ultimately the only way to get rid of the Fire Launcher is to use some jiggery pokery which I will try to explain to delete it.īUT IF YOU DELETE FIRE LAUNCHER WITHOUT ANOTHER LAUNCHER INSTALLED OR IF YOU UNINSTALL THE ONLY REMAINING NON-FIRE LAUNCHER THE TABLET WILL GO BANANAS AND IS TRICKY TO RECOVER! So please be aware of this before you go about doing this modification.

The driver link is from Amazon themselves on their site:īefore you go about changing launcher (which is a PITA but do-able without rooting) you should first of all go about getting Google's Services and Playstore working. You will need this driver for Windows 10 to work with Kindle Fire 2015 and ADB, Fastboot etc.
Here's the full rundown of what I did with mine. You actually do not need to root to make the Fire less Amazon-ey, but to kill of the Amazon launcher does require a special boot image. I was in same boat as you yesterday, but now have a nicely Google-fied Fire running the Google Now Launcher and pretty much all Google's apps and services.
