[QUESTION] Kindle Fire HD 8 - cannot load app - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Kindle Fire HD 8 (7th Gen), Kids Edition. Fire OS 5.6.0.1
The tablet has Amazon FreeTime installed for my son. I have installed Google Play Store on the tablet. I have downloaded a game (BeyBlade Burst) that I can play in standard profile. However, I cannot load it in the FreeTime profile.
I have searched in the 'Add Content' and the game is not listed under "games & apps" I set the 'Smart Filters' to off to allow the game parameters. However, it still doesn't show up in the FreeTime profile.
How can I enable this game in the FreeTime profile?
Thank you for your wisdoms!

netflix casting with amazon fire 7 tablet (5th generation)

How do I cast the netflix app on the amazon fire 7 tablet (5th generation) to the tv.
I have rooted and sideloaded all the apps for chromecast to work but netflix just isn't supported???
I saw something about editing the Build.prop but everytime I try that and reboot it goes back to the same thing it was before?
Does anyone have any information cause I mainly bought this table to be able to cast.... bad idea I guess.

An App or Method to Mirror Fire 10 To TV

Hey guys,
I just got a fire tablet 10 hd and I realized that there's no way built-in to mirror my screen to my smart TV. With my Samsung phone there's a mirror setting right in the settings menu that allows me to mirror to my TV or my fire stick. I also have Air Server installed on my Xbox One which allows me to mirror my phone there, too.
The fire tablet 10 doesn't seem to have any way to mirror anything. I downloaded Air Server onto my fire tablet via the google play store and I was able to mirror the fire tablet to my fire stick, but after, like, 20 seconds, it says "air served closed" and it automatically disconnects the fire tablet from the fire stick.
My question is, is there a reliable app that I could install that could get my fire tablet 10 to mirror to Samsung Smart TV, Fire stick, and or Apple TV? I have access to the google play store.

Can you use the Chromecast and install Google Home from Google Play store
If you don't have a Chromecast. Android TV has a Chromecast built-in. You have it.
Or use TeamViewer.

Oi - please stop responding to old posts (in this instance nearly two years old) with incorrect, irrelevant or incomplete information. Google Home will not run well, if at all, on FireOS v5. Play Store is not natively available on Amazon devices; side loaded builds have proven increasingly unreliable although it remains a viable option. Best course of action is to unlock and install a custom ROM (which brings other problems) but there isn't enough info in the OP to determine if this is even possible.

Play store not showing Fire HD 10 in dropdown for devices

I installed the Play Store on my Kindle Fire HD 10 & it is allowing me to add free & paid apps. My problem is for apps I've already paid for, but when I go to Play Store online (from my Mac), it is not showing my Fire in the dropdown for me to "re-diliver" to a device.
From the Fire, it shows the app is purchased in the Play menu, but tells me I already bought it, if I try to re-purchase it.
I don't recall this problem on THIS tablet previously, but I had to factory reset for a battery issue last night & now I can't get all my apps reinstalled.
Thanks for any suggestions or proven solutions.

Fire HD 8 (8th Gen) - Make Chrome the Default Browser

I successfully selected Chrome as the default browser on my new Fire HD 8 (8th Gen) running Fire OS 6.3.0.1.
I used the following posts to get the Play Store loaded (my thanks to the OPs and contributors):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/installing-google-framework-playstore-t3216122
https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/help/fire-os-6-3-x-play-store-fire-hd-8-t3850363
1. Use adb to install Google Play Store
2. On your Fire HD 8 (8th Gen) download the Chrome Browser from the Play Store, it should automatically install
3. go to Settings (pull down the shade and click on the gear icon)
- Apps & Notifications
- Default Applications
- Browser app
4. Click on Browser App and you should see Silk and Chrome as available browsers
5. Select the radio button next to Chrome - if it works you'll see Chrome listed as the Browser app
Just to be sure: I restarted the Fire HD to confirm the browser change survived. It did and I've been able to download, install and run even finicky apps such as SmartThings Classic.
That's a treat. And you don't see that in any other fire OS versions. Unfortunately I don't think it can be ported to anything less than that os version. It will likely disappear in a future update.
Can you set the Chrome as a default from chooser. Just tap ALWAYS to set.

On the HD 10 Amazon's activity resolver is tied into managed profiles. Inside the system UI there are a couple of intents that launch when you open an application. Two of those intents launch applications to the managed profile. You can disable them with various activity disablers but it just comes back after a certain amount of time. Since I have removed the permission for managed profiles on the device and removed parental controls and device owner the intent no longer launches to the manage profiles and when you click on always at actually means always. I'm not sure if the same applies the HD 8 but here's what I did for the HD 10 https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/root-remove-parental-control-t3932831
