I have a Kindle Fire 5th gen, running Fire OS 5.1.1 rooted. I've installed the Google Keyboard, which is vastly superior to the stock one. But the keyboard does not display the microphone button for voice typing, and the option to enable it does not appear in Google Keyboard's settings.
I looked on a CM12 device to see if there was an APK I could sideload, but didn't see anything that was obvious from its name. Is this something I can add to Fire OS, or is it functionality that's core to the OS that can't be added via APK?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I had this issue as well, and it turned out that the solution was:
1. Go to Settings -> Keyboard & Language
2. Click "Show/hide keyboards"
3. Set "Google Voice Typing" to on
That fixed it on mine, so I hope that works!
I got it working by first installing the google keyboard, and then installing "google" it's just called google, made by google on the play store. I also had to install the google now launcher. after installing all of the above, the option to turn on google voice typing appeared in the keyboard menu, and the microphone icon appeared in the google keyboard (also in AnySoftKeyboard, which is my preferred keyboard) it may have required me to download an additional app at this point, I'm not 100% sure if i also had to google install text to speech, or if that was one of the things I tried on the way to getting it to work. I did have to restart in order to get it to work properly, but now it works just fine.
You'll probably want to go into google settings > search & now > voice and turn on "offline speech recognition", and download the correct language pack, or it can get a little flakey at times.
I just downloaded suggestions & somehow I think it's working. I don't know which one of those things was the essential one but the most important thing to me was to get back the microphone which your good directions helped me to do. Many thanks from a lady in NYC
Worked for Google but not yet on the Gboard
I don't use voice typing but as far as I know, it works. I hit the microphone sometimes by accident. Also make sure you have a language pack downloaded and enabled. I am pretty sure you have to do i t all through Google. Once the Amazon Keyboard is uninstalled you can't use any of the apps it used for voice typing. Sorry if this is of no help. I never used it so never bothered to see if it worked.
Just tried it. Works fine for me.
Wow guys I think installing that just Google named app done it!
I searched for this so often never found it.
thanks all of you
I don't see Google or GBoard in the Amazon Apps store. I'm using a 2017 Fire HD 10". I'd love to get voice typing onto this thing. Any other suggestions?

Need to install a Google Play Services and Store. Once complete you can grab both apps from the Play Store.
Thanks to this thread, I now have my Voice to text working great on my new Kindle Fire HD 10, 7th Generation (10.1").
Here's what I did:
Installed the .apk files to get the Google Play Store (did that the first thing I got the Kindle)
Downloaded the GBoard, or Google Keyboard
Downloaded the Google app (just plain google which finally put an option in my Keyboard & Language area to select the "Google Voice Typing"
So now I have a microphone in my "Google Search Bar", and, the microphone appeared on my Google Keyboard.
Thank you all, and these were the only steps it took to work, for me anyway with the Kindle HD 10, 7th Gen.

I put Google Play Store on a Fire 8 (6th Gen) but it seemed to slow the device down. Yes, a clear cache reboot helped for awhile. So now I have a Fire 10 (2017 edition) and guess what? The fire keyboard has no microphone! Yep, unbelievable. So I used APKMirror to get GBoard but still no mic. This Forum saved the day. There was no option to just change the setting to use Voice typing as others discovered but as suggested, I again used APKMirror to get just the Google app, not the whole store and changed the keyboard settings on the Fire. Perfecto! Installing the Google Store did not seem to be necessary.
I look forward to looking at your other entries DragonFire1024. Thanks!

When I found out you could install just the Google app, I was hoping Alexa and Google Assistant would talk to each other lol. Maybe one day I'll try to do that.

That would be sure to start an argument between them! As neither are really very smart. You know how it is when two dumb people argue, right? Not a pretty sight.
I noticed several months ago on my Kindle Fire 8 that, while the search bar allowed it, the latest update to Gboard wasn't permitting voice typing, even when the mic icon was showing. I just got a Fire 10 and was hoping not to have the same problem, but, noooo. As I have done with all of my Kindle Fire tablets, I d/l the APK files which facilitate Google, and installed all of that, including Gboard. I've got all my settings to enable it, the mic icon is there, and the voice meter even moves as though sound is being recorded and, still, no voice typing.

Pretty obvious what I need help with. Anyone know how to install google search?

google search keeps force closing
this is odd...
after uninstalling bing and installing google search from market it was working fine for a while (1-2 days)
now whenever i type more than 2 characters into the google search box it force closes.
tried uninstalling / reinstalling and clearing the app's data- no dice.
also tried with email history enabled and with it disabled.
any ideas?
I have mine working OK, but not with the Voice Search from the market. What I found was that the Voice Search from the market did not fully integrate with maps, etc (like saying: "Navigate to" came up with some ridiculous kbbb or something else, and speaking for an instant message was hideous).
I renamed the BingSearch.apk and the Bing service apk (can't remember the exact name) in the /System/Data directory (I'm rooted). I pulled the Voice Search APK out of a 2.2 ROM (specifically from my old device - Eris) from the System/Data directory and installed that (uninstalling the market version first). It integrated fully with EVERYTHING, but as of now, like you, my physical Search button doesn't work.
My search Button doesn't work with bing either lol. Straight outta the box. Nothing.

This isn't for Google Search but it was posted for using the search to bring up the phone. Better than not being functional at all and you may be able to figure out how to make it Google Search.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/lg...val-breaks-search-button-requires-rooted.html
The problem with that is it changes the functionality of the Search button entirely. For some, that may work, but in certain applications, that button is still a method to search (like root explorer).

Its not the app. I just went through this when I got the Charge. Go to your Google dashboard and go to speech and click anonymize recognition. This deletes the voice recordings stored from your previous phone. Mine was coming up with kkkkk stuff when I first got the Charge. I guess different devices pick up your speech in a different manner. Try it and see if that fixes your issue.

Hi,
Has anyone tried the Pebble with any of Amazon's Fire devices? I've got the Fire Phone which I'd like to use the Pebble with?
- I know it requires Android 4.0+ (which the Fire Phone has)
- I have been able to sideload the Pebble app and it seems to work fine
I'd like to know if anyone has actually tried it and if it works ok?
Cheers!

Just saw this post. I have the fire phone, and the pebble works perfectly. I downloaded the app by side-loading the play store. I couldn't find an updated version of the app to just downloaded so i went the play store route.
Oh, fantastic, thank you
I haven't got one yet, but will be getting one soon. Do you have the normal pebble or the pebble steel? And which would you recommend?
Do you run the latest version of the app where it pushes through all notifications rather than select ones?
Thanks again
I have a pebble steel and a fire phone with 3.6.8 on it.
I also side loaded Google Play Store and then installed the Pebble app(v2.0.17.2) from there.
My experience is that it works, but not perfectly. The part of the app that displays what is currently loaded in the 8 slots of the watch constantly goes blank, showing nothing, as if it was not connected. When they are displayed they do not always allow you to remove, add, or modify the settings for the different watch faces or apps.
The notifications do not work as well as they did on an old HTC Sensation I installed Kitkat on. But that is most likely because Android 4.2.2, what FireOS 3.6.8 is based from, does not natively support apps accessing notifications.
On email delivered via exchange it only says you have a new email, no information on the email. It does work fine for Gmail notifications, the Gmail app is also installed from Google Play Store. It does properly notify about calls and messages too. The third party Notification Center app seems to crash constantly, so I stopped using it. Nav Me seems to work fine.
I'm hoping when/if Amazon releases an update the notification issues will be resolved.
Aw that's a shame. I did read somewhere that pebble steel has some issues compared to original pebble.. I might hold off on getting one to see if it's better supported with fire os 4 then.
Thank you for your very detailed response!

Do you have the original pebble or the pebble steel? - I've read about some issues with the steel as the other person here also mentions.
Found that the best option is to downgrade pebbles firmware to SDK 1.0, which is a lot more stable with Android 4.2.2
To downgrade pebble, follow these steps:
THIS WILL DO A FACTORY RESET OF YOUR PEBBLE
1 - Uninstall the Pebble app on the Fire Phone
2 - Put the pebble in recovery mode, by pressing "back"+"up"+"select", hold these buttons until you see "Loading..." in the pebble screen
3 - Install the pebble app with SDK 1.0 Donwload from here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!p510TBrB!tZslTHjnUZd7cdmqrSBtZIi19ruXtGDCgzY2kZDZJLo
4 - For pebble faces compatible with SDK 1.0, go to www.mypebblefaces.com and filter "SDK 1.0"
5 - Enjoy stable notifications on your pebble with the Amazon Fire Phone
Hope this helps =)

So using all of the great information on this forum I have been able to successfully install the Play Store and when I log in and go to the store I can see all of my apps from other Android devices. When I go to my Google Dashboard, I see my Fire as well as my other Android devices. Unfortunately when I look at "Devices in Play Store" in the dashboard, the Fire does not show up. The problem with this is that the store wants me to pay again for apps that I have already purchased from other devices.
When I search online to find a solution, all of the suggestions are to go to the device settings and choose to add an account. This option does not seem to be available in the Fire settings. Am I missing something or has anyone else figured out how to fix this?
Thanks again for all the great information everyone has provided.

Hi All,
I managed to use the method shown here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/themes-apps/play-store-amazon-5-4-0-root-t3669740 to download google play.
This worked well, and I managed to download and use apps from the play store. Eventually I decided to organise all my apps into folders, taking it from 2 screens of apps into 1. I then turned off the tablet overnight. After I rebooted this morning, everything worked normally, apart from the fact new apps downloaded from the store wouldn't have an icon appear. The apps still work perfectly, they just don't have icons on the screen which is mildy frustrating.
Any help on this would be great!

This is an increasingly frequent complaint with recent builds of FireOS 5.6, especially in the HD 10. Root cause is not apparent and there does not appear to be a durable workaround at the moment. My guess is a 'glitch' snuck into the stock launcher that will be addressed in a future update. Conspiracy minded members will claim Amazon is up to no good. Will see where it goes.
For now not much you can do other than wait for a fix or attempt to use a different launcher with accompanying pros/cons.

I just got my son a Fire 8 for xmas and it has the latest 5.6.0 software and I got all the google stuff installed and was working great. He downloaded a few games and apps with no issues then he downloaded 2 other apps (games) and they didnt get added to the home screen (stock fire launcher) and the only way to get to them is through the Play Store pretty much and then select Open from there. Is there any way to get them added to the home screen? They will show up in the recent apps but after you use a few other apps its gone. Its frustrating to say the least.
EDIT: I tried the force stop and clear data thing and it didnt work. Still missing app icons on the home screen. If I install Nova Launcher or something though they all show up in the app drawer. Im on the fence with this Amazon Fire at the moment.

I did not but I did delete the 2 apps and then later did a reboot and then just reinstalled them to see if it would have issues again and this time they both showed up on the home screen. I hope my kid doesnt run into issues and cant find his apps if he installs them. Either way, they are there now and hopefully no more issues. Fingers crossed.

Hi, I just got my first fire hd 7th 'gen. I tired the hack and I do have google working on the it now, but like others here my apps on the home screen are not showing up ( the ones I installed the day of the hack are fine).. it is the apps I have installed the say after that are not showing up on the home screen, I had files ready to go but... HO hum!
what I call Add/Remove: they do show up, but unlike a phone or windows. I have no clue how to fix this. since it seems you can't drag and drop from a master folder within the system.
I have seen where you got your home screen working again, but I don't know enough about the Fire 7th Gen yet.. can you or someone be so kind to point me to the correct place where I will find the launcher?
better yet, tell me what the launcher is.
Also on the search, is there a way I can get a google toolbar installed? I dislike using bing. I have to say I do so love my Google tools. and I miss my google search bar I had on my cell phone..

Hi there,
I'm sorry if similar question was asked before but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer yet. I got the latest version of Fire HD 10 and modded using latest version of Fire toolbox (9.2) which removed all Amazon apps and installed a nova launcher. Everything is working perfectly fine but when I tried to install prime video from play store, it doesn't let me. I have tried using a APK version of prime video, I tried installing amazon app store using APK as well still no luck.
I see that the Amazon app store and prime video both are actually installed in the apps settings but they're disabled n can't be enabled. I've taken some time to customise and install all my apps and probably wouldn't want to reset to factory settings unless that's the only option. Is there any way I can install the prime video app? Can it be done using toolbox without restoring to default settings. If so, how? .
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance
Grrrr

Just a heads up, you can't use the Amazon apps from the play store. Video, Kindle, ect have to be enabled and updated thru amazon

Never disabled Prime, but after modding with 30.2 toolbox couldnt download a video succesfully from Prime; started download, looked like it was working, but after few minutes got "download error". Fire ver 7.3.2.1 Factory reset, remodded, same result.
-------------------------------
SOLUTION (maybe): I downloaded the Amazon Prime Video for Windows app, went to the movie I was attempting to download there on my PC, and there was no option to download it (!) however... there was a message that read "you have reached the maximum number of copies of this video. Delete your other copy then you can download this video here". On the Fire HD it APPEARED to be downloading, or attempting to, and then an error message, but no real info as to what the actual issue was.
I did try downloading another video from Prime Video App on my Fire HD, and it DID, in fact, download it. So now I know it will download videos onto the tablet.
The (maybe) that I wrote above was because after I deleted my copy of the first video I wanted (Season 3 of Jack Ryan) from my phone, and tried downloading it to the Fire Tablet, it STILL gave me an error and didn't download the video, so I haven't figured that one out, yet. But I do know the app can download Prime Videos in general.
