Amazon recently released their budget focused Android tablet priced at just $200 which tech analysts everywhere are expecting to be a huge success. Sure it’s no iPad killer but for the price it’s got no competitors.
Currently you are only able to use the Amazon app store but worry not developers have already found a way to use the Android Market on the Kindle Fire. Follow the guide below for the whole process but before we begin we must warn you that this whole process is very complex and certainly not for a person who doesn’t know what he’s doing, this process also requires you to Root your Kindle Fire (full guide here) which will possibly void your warranty so continue at your own risk.
Before we get started you need to downloading the following files:
- GoogleServicesFramework.
- Vending
- Root Explorer App
- Go Launcher EX or any third party launcher.
Now the first thing you need to make sure is that you have Installation from Unknown Sources enabled which we presume you do if you followed our rooting guide but if you didn’t all you have to do is go to your Kindle Fire’s Settings and then enable the option in Devices.
Now onto the main procedure itself.
Step 1. Transfer the two applications (.apks) to your Kindle Fire, make sure to remember where you placed them.
Step 2. Start up Root Explorer and navigate to the applications you just installed.
Step 3. First install GoogleServicesFramework.
Step 4. After that’s done move the Vending app by long pressing it.
Step 5. Move to Settings, then App.
Step 6. Change RO to RW.
Step 7. Place the Vending app you selected here.
Step 8. Now long press on Vending again and select change permission, change them to RW-R-R so it’s the same as the other apps in the folder.
Step 9. Reboot your Kindle Fire.
Step 10. After your Kindle Fire has rebooted we need to install the launcher, so start root explorer once again.
Step 11. Choose Go Launcher EX or any other launcher you chose to download and install it.
And that’s it guys! You now have a working Android Market on your Amazon Kindle Fire. If you have any questions or problems feel free to ask us in the comments below.
