sideload_android_apps_kindle_fireCan I run Android Apps on Kindle Fire tablets?

You may already know that Kindle Fire tablet (Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire HDX) actually is an Android tablet. The Fire OS 3 in the new Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire HDX 7 and Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 actually is based on Android Jelly Bean 4.2.

Of course, Amazon hacked Android so heavily that it is hard to find any traces of Jelly Bean in the UI. But this does not mean you cannot install Android apps, for example, from Google Play Store.

Amazon Appstore for Android has a decent collection of apps that are compatible with most Android devices. Similarly, most Android apps can work on Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablets without any modifications.

So, the answer is very clear. Yes, you can run almost all Android apps in Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX.

Why sideload Android apps in Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX?

Currently, Amazon Appstore for Android still has far fewer apps than Google Play store. Sometimes, you may need some apps that are available in Google Play, but are not available in Amazon Appstore.

Because the official way to get apps on Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX is through Amazon Appstore for Android, you have to sideload apps to your Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX if the apps are from other sources.

Can I sideload Android apps to Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX by myself?

Thankfully, sideloading Android apps to Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX is quite easy. Actually, there are many different ways. In this post, I will show you the easiest way to sideload apps to a Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablet.

It is so easy that everyone can do it.  After finishing the tutorial, you will  sideload Android apps (two apps) to your Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD or  Kindle Fire HDX tablets already.

Sideload Android Apps in Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX: a step-by-step guide

Step 0: Make sure your Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD or Kindle Fire HDX is connected to internet

To sideload Android apps in Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX, you need an internet connection. It is probably better to use WiFi if your mobile data plan is very limited or is very slow.

Step 1: Enable “Apps from unknown sources”

Sideloading android apps means you want to install apps from places other than from the “official” market designated by the tablet vendor.

The official app market for Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX is Amazon Appstore for Android. If you want to install any apps that are not from this Appstore, you must enable “Apps from unknown sources”. This is a security measure. You need make sure you get the apps from reliable sources if you want to sideload apps in Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX.

To enable “Apps from unknown sources”, you need:

  • Swipe down the notification bar.
  • Tap settings (1).
  • Tap Applications (2).
  • Tap “On” for Apps from unknown sources (3).
  • Tap “OK”  to acknowledge the warning message (4).
  • Make sure the Apps from unknown source is on.
  • Tap Home button to return to home (5).

Step 2: Download and install 1Mobile Market app

To sideload Android apps in Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX, you need find the apk file. Although you can do this manually by visiting individual developers website, most developers now do not put APK files on their website. Instead, most of them put a link to Google Play store.

1Mobile app can be a middleman between your Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablet and Google Play store. With 1Mobile app, you can get almost all apps that are available in Google Play store. Sometimes, it may even help you overcome the geographic limitations for some apps (some apps are available in selected regions in Google Play store; 1Mobile may download the app even though you are not in the targeted regions.)

So the first Android app that we need to sideload to Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX is 1Mobile App. You can do this by following these operations:

  • In the home screen, tap Silk browser (6).
  • The Silk browser should open. In Silk browser, type the address: 1mobile.com (7).
  • Tap 1Mobile Market button (8)
  • Choose Tablet version of the 1Mobile app. Tap and download the app (9).
  • Tap “OK” to start the download (10).
  • Once the download for 1Mobile app is finished, tap the menu button (3 vertical dots) of the silk browser (11).
  • Tap “Downloads” (12).
  • Tap the APK file entry to install 1Mobile app (13).
  • Tap “Install” to finish the sideloading 1Mobile app (14).
  • Tap Home button to return to home screen (15).

      All these Google apps (developed by Google) now require Google play services, and Google services framework. Google tightened the controls of these core apps so it is hard to make them work easily on Kindle fire tablets. They are also no stable on Kindle fire tablets.

      If you still want to try, please follow this guide: http://androidcowboy.com/2013/10/add-google-account-kindle-fire-hdx/

      The sideloaded apps will not be shown in the home screen by default until you add it to the home screen.

      But such apps should be in the apps list of the installation is successful. Did you get any messages when installing the app?

    I have exactly the same problem even when I tap on “Add to home”. Either no show in carrousel. I can see the app installed and open it using File Explorer ES

    Can you sideload apps you need to pay for? I side loaded 4 google apps and got gmail working OK but every so often kindle fire hd goes unstable with top menu line (with kindle name, WiFi, battery) disappears or jumps. When I eventually get it back after many resets, I have had to delete Google apps. Great device but hate Amazon for their meddling with android and trying to control what people can buy.ma

      Sideload apps are not supported by Amazon.

      The main problem is that Amazon removed some essential items for Google framework.

      For apps from other developers, usually you get less problems.

      For apps that offer in-app purchase in Play store, you need sideload the latest Google Play services, Google play services framework, Gmail and Google account manager.

        I’m worried that will only solve half my problem. Unfortunately, I took all my downloaded versions of the movies off my Kindle to free up space. Then Flixter stopped supporting movie downloads and playback, so now I need a way to get the movies onto my Kindle plus a way to play them. VLC Player seems like the perfect solution for playing them, so thank you very much for that suggestion. Now I’ve got to find a solution to get the movies onto my Kindle. I’m capable, but pretty far from savvy, so I’m searching for a solution that isn’t too complex and doesn’t involve downloading a bunch of questionable copies of movies I already own UV copies of. Any suggestions?

          But it seems there are some playing issues (fast playing, without sound) with the latest Youtube app in HDX. There are no issues in the newer and far cheaper ones.

            Yes, the recent 2 or 3 generations of fire HD tablet. Even the $49 one can use YouTube without issues.

            Anyway, the root problem is FireOS. HDX was stopped at fire OS 4, in which Amazon tried its best to block any Google things. In Fire OS 5, they gave up the efforts. This is the reason why it is easier to use Google play store and other apps in latest tablet. It’s purely a software issue.

      1mobile is no longer recommended for a few reasons.

      You can try to download APK directly from APKmirror.com. For example for the latest Google Chrome, you can try this page.

      For Fire HD8, you need APKs for Android 5.0+ and armeabi-v7a. For Chrome browser, it should be 349710001 in that page.
