Free 42 on Amazon Fire 8 HD Tablet - John Smitherman - 01-28-2018 07:40 PM Amazon walls off the Google Play Store and instead has their own app store for Amazon branded tablets. Today I looked on thomasokken.com and found that Thomas makes the apk file available for Android users to sideload Free 42. The installation is easy and it looks amazing on the Fire 8 HD's 1280 x 800 (189 ppi) display To install: o Change the tablet's security setting (temporarily) to allow installation of applications that are not from the Amazon app store. o Download the apk file from thomasokken.com/free42/ onto the tablet. o Click Open once downloaded to install the app. Thanks for making this available Thomas. Regards, John RE: Free 42 on Amazon Fire 8 HD Tablet - Bill (Smithville NJ) - 01-29-2018 04:10 PM John, It is possible to get the Google Play store loaded onto the Amazon Fire HD tablet. I have done it and let's me run all my previous purchased Google apps. See following thread for links on how to do this: Google Play on Fire Besides Free42, I have go67c, go65c, droid48, go41c, go41cx go17bii, go87, go1360, go125x, go1360, gppc2, gp1500, go126x.

Thanks for the reply Bill. I had wanted to avoid going that far with modifying the Fire but may consider it. Regards, John |
