I have a Amazon Fire 2017 7 inch tablet, and want to load a Android ROM (lineage OS ) but I love the TTS opiton on the default Kindle app that is on the Fire, I know the Kindle for Android app doesn't have this feature. Is there any way to keep the original Kindle app but still put on a ROM on the Fire tablet?
I would just load the google play services but I have discovered that a account will not work with that bypass and since I have an old grandfathered personal Gapps account with all of my apps I can't access them with the google apps sideload APK method on the fire tablet.
Any ideas????

The first question is moot as a custom ROM can not be installed on a 7th gen (2017) Fire at present. Google Play Services/Store can be installed on FireOS which should give you access to previous purchases. Unfortunately, there isn't a documented method for accessing legacy "personal GAaps" accounts. May be possible; just haven't seen it done.

Same question for kindle fire tablet 8, 8th gen
Got google play working on my fire tablet thanks to the forums but now I'm lost in whether to use clean master by cheetah mobile. This appears to have once been in Amazon app store but no longer there.
By the by, any safe apps from Google play recommended in general that are safe on kindle tablet?
Much appreciated
Hi I have the Kindle Fire HD 7" (2nd Generation) and was wondering how I can either get google play store and google apps or how to get android.
Please note I used an app called Key Root Master (MOD Version) to "root" my kindle.
I have downloaded 3 apps which say I am rooted so I assume I am
Anyways how can I either get google play store and other google play services or android?
One last thing I would like to note is that my kindle is running system version 7.5.1
Thanks
Edit: I switched over to KingRoot
Edit: I thought gen 2 is SOHO but "Root Analyzer" says under device info im tate...
I'd like to know the answers to these questions also. This Kindle is crippled without access to Google play.

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.

Hi all,
New Kindle owner here, and a very resourceful Android/iOS nerd.
My question is simple-- has anyone had success in cloning the built-in "Amazon Kindle" system app?
I'm looking to use multiple Kindle accounts. One is my US account (Prime account; where I have most of my audiobooks) and one is my JP account (where I have most of my Kindle books).
From what I recall on my TF300T tablet, the Google Play store edition of this app takes your Amazon login directly from the main screen when you first open it. In contrast, the Amazon Kindle system app on Fire devices takes your login from the account you use in Amazon's version of the Settings app.
I've tried using an app from the Play Store called "App Cloner" and have purchased the full version. I tried cloning the "Amazon Kindle" app twice with different configurations, but have not played with it much more. Most I've tried is removing permissions from it, in an effort to block it from automatically taking my US login from Settings.
I'm afraid that the remedy to this may be to download the Play Store version and clone that one instead. Problem is I lost my TF300T, and the Play Store on my Kindle reports it's already installed. (Interestingly enough, Google Play doesn't recognize Audible as already installed-- making a second copy of Audible easy to obtain)
Anyone have luck with this? Would love to figure out how to make this possible and write up a guide for it.
I'd like to know this too. I bought a kindle on someone elses amazon account so their account came attached. I removed it, but then that family member asked to read their kindle on my fire. So I couldn't add the account back for 6 months. So I was hoping to just remove the default one and add the regular version from the play store but it doesn't function for some reason. I would love to be able to log into a different kindle account just for the book store. I've had a bad time switching ROM and had to get a new one so I'd like to just avoid changing the OS for now.
Well, I have some good news and bad news regarding the subject. But, overall I would say it's progress none the less.
I *DID* find my TF300T, so I was able to download the Play Store version of the Kindle app and successfully clone it. I also managed to successfully install the cloned app. Unfortunately this is as far as I got.
When I launch the cloned app, the splash screen loads very briefly and the app crashes. I will test installing the cloned app on my TF300T and see if it opens cleanly on that device.
If it works on the TF300T, then there is something on the Fire 7" that prevents the clone (or even just the stock app) from operating correctly. I will post back (or edit my post) with my findings.
How to root Fire OS 5.3.2.1 on 5th gen Tablet?
I was only able to install the playstore. i hate the os and want a custom rom or at least delete the preinstalled apps
For now..
No Root.
Please do not cross/double post. Answered here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/fireos-5-3-2-arrived-t3500922/post70252060
Seems to me, that even the playstore will eventually stop working. I managed to install it, and it worked for about a week. Now when I launch, I just get a white screen.. And I also notice, that I cannot even get to the Amazon app store.
Google Play Store is still working just fine 3 months in. Unable to root though. If I was more skilled with coding...
I successfully installed Google Play store on my Kindle 7 9th edition tablet and Signed in. But after a certain time the device will sign me off my account and won't let me sign back in . Why does this keep happening?

Your Fire tablet was registered to your Amazon account that you steal your personal information and make a greater risk to security threats.
Try it to reset your Fire tablet to factory defaults (backup your valuable files before you reset your Fire tablet), bypass Amazon account registration by entering an invalid email address and password, and re-install Google apps.
