there are other sites I'll look for them later
BUT
Amazon is blocking the install of some apps
example is FBReader
so i had to fine the APK to FBReader to sideload it
I found 2 sites where you can download Google Play apps
"Only the free ones, this is not a pirate site"
if you want free "Paid" apk's go somewhere else, we don't do that here"
these sites download the APK directly from Google play
http://apk-dl.com/
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
I have only used apk-dl but that both should work

apkmirror.com
TKruzze uploads many files there

I have OS 4.5.5.2 with Play Store working well, it does crash occasionally, but it loads and you can download apps from it.
Here's what I did (from memory). I do not have my tablet with me currently to check versions of the Google Play APKs but I believe what I wrote below is correct, I will update later if not. These are pseudo-instructions. You need to be familiar with how to do a variety of tasks of Android (flashing, adb, etc).
A) Follow steps to unlock bootloader and flash stock repacked ROM from that same thread... https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/thor-unlocking-bootloader-firmware-t3463982
B) Flash SuperUser
C) Downloaded the following Google Play APKS:
Google Account Manager: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...google-account-manager-4-4-4-1227136-release/
Google Services Framework: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-services-framework-4-4-4-1227136-release/
Google Play Services: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-10-0-84-030-137749526-android-apk-download/
Google Play Store: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ay-store-7-3-26-k-all-0-pr-144039714-release/
D) Download APKPure https://apkpure.com/apkpure/com.apkpure.aegon
E) Download a new keyboard from APKPure (I used Google GBoard I think)
D) Psuedo commands:
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
rm com.swype.* (these are large files for the keyboard and need to be removed to install Google apps)
E) Push Google Account Manager and Google Services Framework to /system/app (adb push xxx /system/app)
F) adb install Google Play Services & Google Play Store
G) Download the following:
gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554406
Xposed Framework SolarWarez: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64063168&postcount=62
HDXPosed 1.3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618158
H) Reboot to TWRP and flash gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip
I) Install Xposed Framework from SolarWarez
J) Install and activate HDXPosed 1.3
Again, this is from memory as I don't have my tablet with me, but this has Google Play working well (along with Google Play Games) on Fire OS 4.5.5.2. The only issue I've found has to do with Underground apps not showing in the Play Store. I think there must be a way to fix that (it might have something to do with the HDXPosed changes). I will investigate that later...
Stable? What has the stability been like since installing, as you seem to be the only person who has managed it, albeit I am only searching the net . . .

You mean the amazon app store? Yes this is just a timing thing... I just got some refurb hdx from woot and noticed that the underground wasn't working on these stores but was on my HDX... so i turned off and on and a day later the approval banner for underground showed and I hit ok and now it shows
Tried it. Play store just keeps crashing.. Couldn't even login. Xposure said it wouldn't install due to lack of space even after deleting Swype.
Does video casting to Chromecast work?

Hello, on the previous HD Fire 8 we had i was able to install goto app and youtube kids on my daughters freetime app. However she damaged the device and we had it swapped out free. Now when i've tried to do the same i can install everything but under the freetime account when i try to install google play services to allow youtube kids to load it says "this package appears corrupt" i've tried lots of different versions and even downloaded apk editor to repackage it.
Any suggestions would be great?

Try it to install via ADB:
Code:
adb install GmsCore.apk
GmsCore.apk is Google Play services
Just wanted to let everyone know if you are interested. APK mirror has the Google messages that has the new Samsung layout and also has a setting to better integrate with Bixby if you use that. Links are below for the APK, will also need to install the APK mirror installer from playstore as it is a bundled APK. Works normally and everything functions. I did notice that I seemed to have a bit higher battery drain after install and running today and did not receive a few messages, but rebooted phone and all is back to normal.

as the title says, I'm in EU but I want the USA version of an app.
Is there a way to get it without changing my account?
edit:
nevermind, I've find a way: got link of the play store using browser + vpn, downloaded it with evozy, sideloaded the apk on my android tv (that strangely managed to update it, while before it didn't even find it for my country), extrated that apk and sideloaded on firestick.
