I have decided to sell my Amazon fire tablet which has Google play store added. If I deregister it will it lose all that I have installed? Also is it difficult to add the new owner. Thanks for any info. Pin62.

To my knowledge, none of the apps installed will be uninstalled. But none can be updated and any app which checks the Google account connectivity (may be for pro version or for other things), will not work.
Hello tnsmani,
Thank you for replying and the information. pin 62.

I searched for an answer to this but didn't find it.
I have a Kindle fire with over $100 of apps. Whta happens if I install CM7 or 9? Will I still own them and be able to download? Thanks
If you install the amazon app store in cm and login with the same account, then you will be able to redownload all of the apps you purchased. With no charge

To add to that, you can have the appstore on multiple devices with no additional charge. For example I have it on my phone and my kindle.
I recently ordered the 8th gen HD 8 and I'm a little worried because I've read that they've disabled workarounds to install the Play Store on it. I'm not entirely sure if it's true since I don't actually have it in my hand yet, but does anyone else know? Any help would be appreciated.
You can install, but I heard it does not connect to Google at all (stuck at login) probably for everyone.
Thanks for the reply. I actually found a video that shows how to get it working. It's a couple weeks old, so maybe they'll push out an upload blocking it. As far as I know it all depends on the order the Play Store APKs are installed.

OK thanks

It works. But... I've had to create a 2nd account as my main Google account has Two Factor Authentication.
This is what seems to be causing an issue with login where you're just in a loop.

Can you re-install the Google APKs again and reboot your Fire tablet
It's very possible to install the Google Play store on my Fire HD 8 2018 without Fire registration
I've purchased a brand new Fire HD 8 tablet that I'm going to wall-mount and use as a home automation controller/interface.
I was able to [Skip] the initial setup and install the Google Play Store (and Google Services, etc), but the tablet updated itself and is again prompting for Amazon registration. Is it possible to bypass this? Is there disadvantage to just registering it?
Anything else I should know before I use this as a wall mounted tablet?

No disadvantage to registering. Regardless, you'll get nagged to update on occasion which may break your use case. Better to unlock and install a custom ROM which will give you more control over your device.
Thanks very much for the information.
Any suggestions on a custom ROM given my purpose?
I have a HD8 2017 working as an interface to my Smarthings/Konnected/ActionTiles system.
Unlocked and installed TWRP using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/unlock-fire-hd-8-2017-douglas-t3962846
Using this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/rom-lineage-12-1-amazon-fire-hd8-2017-t3967537http://
Using Fully Kiosk browser. Everything works great. The tablet runs quicker than with FireOS and appears to be just as stable. Hopefully someone will get LOS14.1 working but LSO12.1 is good enough for my use.

You forgot to install NoRoot Firewalls app to block OTA from internet access.
Hi,
I'm hoping someone has figured this out as its driving me crazy !
I've followed the instructions to put the google apks on via the android police website, install play store amazon fire tablet article (can't link to it as it's my first post !)
Everything initially seems to be ok, signed into google and can access and download apps from the Play store.
When I download the Google Play Games app it runs ok but switching to the Profile tab doesn't show me any profile information and all I get is the busy icon spinning constantly.
Does anyone know how to solve this ? I think this has a knock-on effect of games not working that require a google games profile.
This is on a brand new 2019 Amazon Fire HD 10.
Thanks in advance

That's the problem, your Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account.
Reset your Fire tablet and bypass Amazon account registration. Do not register.
Install Google services and remove all Amazon junk:

Hi , thanks for replying.
How do you bypass Amazon account registering/logon ? I thought it forced you to have an account.
I've used the toolbox before but only after I have signed in. are you suggesting I can somehow get to the home screen without logging in or registering and then use toolbox ?
I have a 2018 Fire HD 8, and on that, you can skip logging in with your Amazon account, basically turning it into a cheap, generic Android tablet. I installed Google Play, and that's all I needed. Can you still do this with the 2020 model? Thanks in advance!

Yes, when you get to the select wifi page on setup hit select WiFi, but do not select a network, hit cancel and back, you should have a skip available to move forward. You will still have to run fireOS, but can install the play store and change the launcher to give it a Android feel.

Excellent, this is exactly what I needed confirmed, thank you for that! I wish Amazon would allow this for their Fire Stick line, but I won't complain that it's still allowed on their tablets.

Really in my opinion there is no benefit from not registering it. Not registering it causes amazon apps not to work, makes it so you can not install apps from the amazon app store. I skipped registration, then disabled my updates and lockscreen ads, then registered. You are still going to be running FireOS with a alternate launcher. You can disable amazon bloat. Just curious, what is the benefit of not registering it?

I don't know if the new models are any better, but when I registered my 2018 model, it started to run *horribly.* It got extremely slow, and it tried to load a million things in the background that I didn't want. I formatted it and started using it unregistered again, and it was great.
Also, I kind of just like that a device's lifespan isn't tied to a server. I like knowing that I'll always be able to use it without having to worry about having internet access or an account associated with it.
I didn't uncheck "Link device to your Amazon account" i when ordering, will I still be able to use this toolkit?
Thanks
