A particularly important settings can be found in the settings menu under “Applications”: The “unknown source apps” option. This is set to “Off” when delivered. If you’re looking to receive only apps from the Amazon store, you can leave it at that. But if you will use other applications that do not exist there, you have to switch to “On”.
ES File Explorer helps in the transfer of Google Play apps on the Kindle Fire HDX
6 Programs via smartphone from the Play Store pick
If you already own an Android smartphone, you might have already downloaded a few apps. With most mobile phone models you have access to the Google Play Store, which offers ever greater choice than the Amazon Appstore. The apps are on your mobile phone as APK files with the extension. However, you have no direct access to it. Instead, you have to get a file manager like ES File Explorer to get around this and use them to create a backup of the app on the memory card.
This works quite simple: Invite you first download the free software from the Google Play Store on your device. Installs and starts and then taps on the small gepünktelten bar right below. From the menu, select your “Manager” from the list then “Installed applications”. A screen will appear with all your apps. Typed and hold the program that you want to transfer to your Fire HDX. From the menu options you choose “Create Backup”. The software creates a copy in the folder / sdcard / backups / apps that you can now see the computer and then transfer to the Kindle via USB. Or simply email the APK file directly to your Fire HDX.
7 Easier to install new apps
A particularly simple way to install new programs, offers the free app Easy Installer. It is available in the Amazon Appstore. First you install the app on your Fire HDX. After you close to the tablet via USB to your computer. It is now visible as a separate drive. Copy the APK files that you want to set up, easy out. After her cast Fire HDX drive off again and restarts the previously installed Easy Installer app. The program searches the device for new apk files and then offers you the installation.
Collections: ok despite Kindle Fire HDX
8 More order on the bookshelf of the Kindle Fire HDX
Reading App offers the Fire HDX still not known from the e-ink Kindle collections (collections). App programmers have recognized that. At the most successful I find the app “Collections for Kindle Fire, HD,” which finds it for 2.29 euros in the Amazon Appstore. It also works with the Fire HDX problems. In a virtual bookshelf to upload your eBooks that sort as they see fit, such as by genre or author – whatever you like. The app also comes with Umlauts well.
An alternative is the app “Kindle Fire Book Collections” (2.30 euros in the Amazon Appstore). Organizes them into a more modern folder structure, but has problems with umlauts: For titles with umlauts strange characters appear in the title. From both apps can open their books to read directly in the familiar environment.
9 Google Play without Google Play app use
At least you can download free apps without the backing-store app from Google Play. To do this you need nothing more than your Fire HDX or even a computer. Option number 1: Navigate to the Web browser in the Google Play Store. Seek out a free app from, click on it and copy the URL. Now move to the Website, the address of the app fits in the input field and click on “Generate Download Link”. The service now brings the APK file for you from Google, which can take a little – then you can download them to your computer (or your Fire HDX) and install (note the “Download” button directly below it is merely advertising ). However, there is a daily maximum download quantity.
Without limitingcan you use the service if you installed a browser extension. To do this you need the Chrome web browser on the PC. The Chrome extension you get here. If you have installed the extension, you have but to “Guide” to follow on this page and still make several entries. Apps that still need to reload data from the Play Store after installation (lots of new games!), You do not get that way unfortunately running.
10 WhatsApp installed properly on the Kindle Fire HDX
the WhatsApp chat software can be installed on the Kindle Fire HDX. First you need to download the program and install it from this address. The first time the app is WhatsApp want to register your mobile number. If you own a Fire HDX without mobile, you can also receive any SMS. But that is no problem. You only need access to a cell phone. Give his mobile number in the entry field. WhatsApp is trying to receive a text message, say five minutes. Thereafter, the program offers to be called on the phone. Let’s call him. A computerized voice will read you a code that you can now enter in the input field of the app. WhatsApp is then ready for use over Wi-Fi. The mobile phone used for code reception is then no longer enabled for WhatsApp.
