Hi, first thread and all that - so just a quick question:
Often when I click links (on websites) in Chrome to apps, it wants to take me to the Amazon app store when the link I clicked is supposed to go to the Google play store. Is there any way to change the DEFAULT app store so it always follows the link to Google play rather than Amazon apps?
I rooted my Fire btw (I think so any way - I followed a youtube tutorial to download a few files to install google play), sorry for lack of details rooting is new to me this is my first Android device.
Thanks for any help

I'm not sure which app controls that, but I have most amazon apps frozen with titanium backup pro, and now play store just opens

Thanks. I'm not aware of the titanium backup pro, will it conflict with anything else or do anything that can't be reversed?

There is a couple of options
Free;requires PC/Mac/Linux and root Adb Shell Pm Hide as much bloat and amazon as you can by k3ll0gs
$5.99:App no pc needed, freeze withTitanium Backup PRO Key use app list in
5.0.1 Bloatware & other Safe to remove Apps
both methods have the same result, the app stops running, and can be restarted if needed
as long as you don't stop a system critical app
There are free apps that can freeze other apps. Are they not good in you opinion ?

There are a few free options, I haven't used them, but they should be fine

I installed one of the app freezing apps from google store, but when I tried to freeze an app (the amazon app store) it said I need root access. So obviously I hadn't rooted it, just installed the google play store (never had an android device before so rooting and it's terminology is completely new to be sorry). I followed a tutorial on youtube (I think it was a rootjunky video) and thought I was rooting the device, but obviously I just installed the google app store.
I'm not a techno-virgin, but I think I need to do more research on rooting and see how easy it is to reverse etc, so thanks for your help, but for now I guess I just have to deal with getting defaulted to the amazon app store.

Basically there are two ways to root, right now
Modified Boot.img
Amazon Fire 5th Gen 2015 Root by Awesomeslayerg
Root Video With Launcher changing Instructions by Rootjunky
Custom Recovery Method
[Video]Install SuperSu using a Custom Recovery
Unrooting is can be done from the supersu app that is installed in the rooting process, but unrooting is different than returning to full stock.
To restore full stock see [HOWTO] How to restore firmware on your device + Amazon Firmware by Awesomeslayerg
Settings > Apps & Games > Amazon Application Settings > Appstore > Don't Open

It would be nice if it was that simple wouldn't it ytsejam! Unfortunately all that does it turn off being able to open ANY external store links, it doesn't then redirect them to the google play store. It would seem the ONLY option is to root your device.

how did you do to delete app shop
I am looking for the same information.
Previously, you just had to Rename /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to something like MarketIntentProxy.bak and you would be able to have apps launch Google Play Store.
On 5.3.1, the apk is not in /system/app/ or may have been renamed?
Hello,
I have a Fire 5.1.1 rooted and SlimLP installed. When I look at the Amazon appstore, there are certain apps (mostly marked "Kindle Tablet Edition") that I cannot install. On Amazon it says my device is incompatible. I know I can get these apps in the Google Play store. I am wondering if there is anything I can change on my tablet that would tell Amazon that it's okay to install those apps.
Thanks
Other than changing the os back to Fire OS no.
Thanks for the response.
I would recommend just installing the Google Play Store as it has all the apps up to date. PM me if you need help doing this.

As they've got the Slim LP rom on chances are they've flashed gapps afterwards, it's in the installation post for the rom after all. And they even say "I know I can get these apps in the Google Play store." in the OP

Do you have links for these ?
Dear, it has been restored with the update 2.2
Hello,
I have a brand new Fire HD 10 (2017), 5.6.0.1, rooted. The stock Kindle app got updated via Google Play and will not run. I've uninstalled the Kindle app and installed the Google play version. I have also deleted all apps with "kindle" in their name and then installed the Google play version. Neither attempt worked.
How can I get the Kindle app working?
Thanks in advance!

I've been attempting to change my build.prop to make Google Play think I'm running a Samsung Galaxy instead of Fire 7 so I can download apps that are not available otherwise. I've been following various guides and using simple trial and error, but have not had any luck. Does anybody know what values Google Play uses to check what device it's running on?
I'm using OpenGapps.
Play Services Version: 19.8.31
Play Store Version: 16.5.15
I know there are alternative methods for both downloading apps and spoofing devices, but I would really like to use this method so it can be deployed to other tablets (including my mom's who is not tech savy at all).

Method is no longer applicable; Play Store looks a device fingerprint which can be tweaked via Magisk module: MagiskHide Props Config
DB126's method is confirmed to be working.
Thanks for the tip, and sorry I never responded.
