Wondering whether anyone else have the same problem and would appreciate someone to hep me resolve this.

GOOD job guys! (or girls):good:
So i have some family members that wanted an android device where they could easily select netflix, hulu, youtube, twitch etc.... but they didn’t want to create an amazon account and i sure as heck didn’t want to leave my account linked to it. If you deregister your device from your amazon using the web the fire tv will not let you use any application until you create or login to an amazon account.
So what I did was:
1. You need Root
2. Install an alternative launcher
3. Using Titanium backup freeze KFTV Launcher and OOBE
4. Go online to amazon.com and deregister the device from your account
5. No more nagging message telling me to log in using an amazon account.
Hope this helps!!!
Because this will kill your connection to amazon please keep in mind that any amazon app downloaded will stop working.

I'm glad someone did this. I always would like to de-register my device from my account, since I have no longer use it. But I didn't try because I'm afraid that will block my root device. By the way, what OOBE stands for?

Just came home and tried it, and it won`t work for me. The login screen will pop up to ask for login to amazon, even I have my own launcher. Weird....

Out of box experience - referring to the initial state a device is in when it is taken out of the box. A lot of time the first time you power on a new device it will come up with an initialization wizard that asks to active/register etc, and it only runs once.
Hello,
on my Fire HD8 2016, my Google Mail app keeps crashing all the time, does anybody know if this is related to the latest Fire OS or Gmail update? Any way to fix it?

The new Fire HD8 (2017) are also having this problem. I just noticed that Gmail on my 2016 Fire 7 has very recently stopped working too. Ggggrrrr.... It was working fine before.
(There is another thread about the 2017 Fire 8s that you might want to follow... No one has found a fix yet.)
Do you have a link to the other thread? I am very unhappy that I cannot root the Fire HD8 2016, because the device is getting slower and slower with every update, it is nearly unusable now

Just did a search for it and saw several brief mentions of the gmail Fire 8 7th generation problem mentioned, but no specific fix for it. (Sorry, I couldn't find the original mention) For what it's worth, gmail finally started working again on my Fire 8 (2017) but not yet on Fire 7 (2016) , Hoping that perhaps the gremlins are working on a fix in the background?
I have the same problem with my Kindle 8 HD (7th generation). The app is crashing as soon as it's accessing a folder or email containing a "+" sign in address.
Tried Google Inbox instead - works fine as long as not opening a mail sent to such an address (i.e. [email protected]). Opening such mail results in crashing instantly. All other mails can be opened without problems.
Because the originally installed email client always works, I'm not sure if it's a problem of Gmail or Fire OS or combination of both.
Post Preview:
I see the gmail crash issue on my 2016 HD8 6th gen when I look at a message with an attached file or embedded photo. Plain vanilla email (text) seems to work. If the suspect message is at the top of my inbox so that it opens automatically, then gmail crashes when I start it. I managed to delete the offending email in the split second before it crashed, then it stayed running until I stumbled into another "bad" message. My OS was just updated to 5.4.0.0 last week, it might be related to that update but I don't use it every day to be sure. Google inbox seems to have similar crashing issues for me.
Funnily mine crashes as soon as I open the app, so no possibility for me to even check mails at all.
I just got the Fire HD 8 (7th gen, 2017) and ran into this issue too. A logcat when launching Gmail (7.6.18.160170480) shows:

To my understanding the ACCESS_ALL_DOWNLOADS permission can only be granted to apps with the same signature as DownloadProvider. I don't know if this has anything to do with Amazon's customization of Android 5.1.1, but I wouldn't be surprised. I welcome someone more familiar with Android permissions to evaluate the log.

Thanks trovatrice,
I was going to say the same about the Fire HD 8 (7th generation - 2017) on Fire OS 5.3.3.0.
Happy to follow your link.
cheers
This problem is happening because Gmail tries to automatically download the attachments and the permissions in fireos prevent it. A workaround is to disconnect the WiFi, open Gmail (shouldn't crash without internet) and disable the automatic download of attachments in its settings. After this you should be able to use the app without crashes, if you need attachments just save them to Google Drive without downloading them directly.
@Segfaultd - Thanks for the tip. I think you're on to something. Disabling the internet connection does allow Gmail to run without crashing, and I can go into Settings and deselect the option to automatically download attachments. Unfortunately, once I re-enable the internet, Gmail goes back to crashing.
Any other ideas? This is really frustrating!
This happened to me. I fixed it on my Fire HD8 2017 simply by clearing the app from the recent apps menu (square in the bottom right) and then reloading it.

Same here, in Airplane Mode I can run Gmail, can disable automatic attachment download, also set Images to "Ask before showing". But once internet is re-enabled, also crash is back. An update seems at least to work, i.e., those emails which I deleted while no internet connection, are really deleted from the inbox.
Any solution would be very, very welcome. Otherwise loving my new Fire HD 8.

Thanks, unfortunately this didn't fix it for me, disabled automatic download of attachments, but as soon as I sync Gmail again, the app still closes. Any other settings that need to be altered?
Solved- Gmail disappears on Fire tablet
I just got my first Fire Tablet (HD8 Gen 7) from Amamzon Prime day and am new to Fire as well as Android. I've had iPhone and Windows PCs for years. I am an IT Tech as well. But I had the same problem with the Gmail app disappearing. After searching many posts with nothing fixing the problem, I decided to think out side the box a little. I had found posts about a similar problem, "Play store apps stop working after Alexa update". I figured my new HD8 was essentially in the same situation since it came with Alexa and I had installed the 4 recommeded apk files needed to hack it so I could access the Google Play Store.
So, I decided to try the (after Alexa update) fix which has you install 2 updates.
(Darn... Since I'm a new user here, it says I can't post a link. So search google for "how-to-fix-google-play-on-fire-tablets-after-update". Go to the first result and use the 2 links at bottom of the page.)
Install Google Account Manager 5.1-1743759.
Install Google Services Framework 5.1-1743759.
Restart tablet.
That's what I did. But the problem still existed. So I uninstalled the Gmail app and went back to Google Play Store and reinstalled the same Gmail app. And now it's working. Let me know if this works for you as well.

Thank you. That did help. Gmail now stays lit, and seems to be syncing new messages, but it's still not quite right. When I tried to send myself a test message, it crashed again (even after a reboot).
For me, disabling Sync under the Gmail account settings and automatic attachment downloads seems to have worked. I can send email and open emails with attachments. Be sure to restart the app too after making the change.
Only downside is they don't automatically download, but at least it doesn't crash for me.

It really is frustrating! and way too quirky to figure out how to fetch new messages, and then how to send a reply... Gggrrrr.

Somewhat to be expected when the Fire tablets don't officially support GAPPS.
same issue here with a 8 HD and 5.4 ; turning off sync attachments and removing/reinstalling hasn't fixed it.
I have got the problem that Voice typing in Gboard and on YoutubeKids is not working on the Fire HD 10 and Fire 7 (2019) (not rooted or unlocked). I could enable Google Assisant and Google Voice Search but Voice Input with Gboard and Youtoube Kids does not work! I can see Voice picking up but no processing.
With the HowTos here I could manage to get the Goggle Assistant running but that did not fix this issue.
After enabling Google Voice Input in the Settings a messages appears "Note: After a reboot, this app can't open until you unlock your Fire."
How do I fix this problem?

You can reset your Fire tablet (before you reset, you have to backup your important files) and pass Amazon account registration to prevent from dangerous things like virus, malware, spyware, and ransomware.
You can use NoRoot Firewall app to prevent updating your Fire tablet. OTA updates is not came with a security updates.

Have a similar issue
On my two HD 8- 2018s the voice search works everywhere EXCEPT in youtube kids which is where I really need it for my little ones! I tried a factory reset today, but didn't see to bypass the amazon registration in time, so I just unregistered it as soon as I was online. I am still having the issue too and am curious to see what people suggest.

Don't register your Fire tablet with your Amazon account. You can cause a malware, spyware, ransomware, and other dangerous things (i.e. steal.

If your Fire tablet is registered to your Amazon account. Deregister it and start to install Google services to get Google classroom works:
If you have your own Windows 10 PC to use Fire toolbox to install Google services first:

Tried doing that, same result. Keeps giving a notification that the account associated with the school needs attention, if you tap on it it brings up a checking info screen then dumps me out and the notification returns.

I had a similar issue, the true error notification was getting hidden. Google Classroom login with my daughters school account was forcing her to have a "pin" on her device. After I enabled a "pin" (or password) to log in to her tablet then everything worked great!
Try it out, hopefully it works for you!

I figured out that you have to login to the child’s school Google account on a computer browser and then go to “Manage your account”. On the left hand side click security then scroll down a bit and look for the option to turn on “Less secure app access”. Once this is turned “on”, our child’s account started working on the 8th gen Fire HD 8.
