How to Sideload Apps - Unrooted Kindle Fire (No ADB)

[mamagallon2000]

Well apps auto update when sideloading this way or it's it up to the user to update manually?

[bunsic1027]

THANK YOU, WORKED VERY EASILY!!!!!

[Thehammerofwhat]

[nat3mil]

[dozerZA]

[Torzelle911]

What is the name of the clock widget on your phone?

[Taurion54]

[bunsic1027]

@MrMetfan95 kindle runs android, so most android apps work. There are no kindle specific apps

[MrMetfan95]

there are no websites for apks (games and othere fun apps just made for the kindle)

I have been serching on filestube a search engine that looks for files on popular hosting sites for months now with no luck

[AYHmusic]

The "App Manager" is now called Ultimate Backup

[CarbarThe66]

waste of time just root and u can get android market and download android apps there

[nat3mil]

@xXmixpe911Xx what clock? At the end? That's my phone

[xXmixpe911Xx]

@Nat3mil how do u have that little clock there on the home screen

[zenlives2sk8]

hi im confused is kindle only for reading books cause thats what they advertise

[nat3mil]

@zenlives2sk8 this is the kindle fire tablet, it plays games, movies, magazines, books, etc. if u look it up on amazon dot com they have all the details

[Nekrophiliac333]

Thanks for the video, I successfully installed the mobo player to view avi videos on the kindle fire. I no longer have to convert them to mp4

[leolessa]

thank you for the video now i know that i can use almost any android app on kindle fire make me more confident to buy a kindle fire (i down want mess up my kindle rooting it). next month i'm going to buy my kindle xD

[cowboys868]

Your video is very easy to understand and follow. Thanks for the upload.

[nat3mil]

@lukuntri yup I've done that many times

[lukuntri]

you can upload apk's on drop box and the install them from kindle fire.

[kshangy]

Whats the website for the Apk's?

[nat3mil]

@kshangy try 4shared dot com

[eightmileman]

I followed you instructions, got all my apps sideloaded correctly and working fully except for minecraft pocket edition, it gives be a license error after I install and try to open it? Any ideas on how to solve that?

[nat3mil]

@eightmileman only the demo version will work, unless u root and install the android market and buy the app, or find a hacked apk

[tabbicakes]

I cannot find "app manager" by jrummy in the android market.

[nat3mil]

@tabbicakes he changed the name to ultimate backup, same thing tho

[nat3mil]

@tabbicakes its called ultimate backup now, he changed the name

[nat3mil]

@karinerbobrivet do u have background data on?

[karinerbobrivet]

I installed Google services framework APK and Gmail APK, and Gmail launches, but reports that data services aren't available when trying to setup my account. Any thoughts?

[nat3mil]

@TheIWillHelp yeah download the apk from 4shared dot com

[TheIWillHelp]

is there a way to load apk's to the kindle fire without sideloading from an android phone? I do not own a phone that is on the android market so I thought that if I get the apk is it possible for me to do it through the computer?

[nat3mil]

@GunzandposeS sideloading apps will not void warrenty. only installing pirated apps is illegal (paid apps u didn't pay for)

[GunzandposeS]

HEY! I am tech savy, but I know that rooting the kindle fire will void the warranty, so i will hold out until that is expired. I was just wondering if this is illegal and if it will void the warranty. Please reply soon to this email: gunzandposes@gmail.com THANK YOU ALL!

[nat3mil]

@bix75001 for Google service apps u have to flash Google framework first

[bix75001]

I followed all instructions and it worked ok for most apps except for the Google Gmail App. Is there an issue when side loading it on 6.2.1 for the Kindle? The Gmail App appears to install (goes through the process normally with no error messages) but when selecting it to open it flashed the screen to a blank white page then returns to where you started.

[MrBicB0i]

Thanks this was so easy to do. And it's my first android device.

[metalligimp]

I got the apk fine off my phone and put onto the Kindle Fire, but when it went to install, it said "Application Not Installed". Maybe it has something to do with the update that pushed out this morning?

[nat3mil]

@metalligimp i dont think so, its probably a problem w the apk, or the app isnt compatible with the fire

[stevek1240]

Hey wuahn, try to search for Ultimate Backup by JRummy instead, he recently renamed the app. Just tried this entire process and it worked great for most app, a few were locked (app tried to authenticate upon bootup and couldnt) and would not load but ~80% worked just fine.

[aer0zeppelin]

so i have a question im outside the us can i get file expert from a site like 4shared and load it right on to my fire?

[nat3mil]

@aer0zeppelin yup. I explain how to do that in the FAQs in the video description.

[wuahn]

Can't find App Manager or anything by jrummy (or jrummy14) in the Android Market. Are there any alternatives?

[nat3mil]

@wuahn yeah a lot. Mybackup is one for example 

[kitchendon]

very cool. thanks for the info!

[JokerWsS95]

so is dropbox on the android market?

[nat3mil]

@JokerWsS95 yes 

[JokerWsS95]

@nat3mil thanks man, one more question. Can you download zip apps from a torrent site, that are for android, and do the same thing?

[nat3mil]

@JokerWsS95 All apps are .apk so wherever u can find them should work. Be careful with some though ppl theoretically could put a virus in it.

[sandy11440]

hey nat..thnx for this video..i m facing a problem about getting the free file expert app from amazon app store. as the store does not hv services in my country i m not able to get it from amazon app store. can u suggest a solution for this problem ?? reply soon. thnx

[nat3mil]

@sandy11440 check out the faqs in the video description, I have an answer for you guys outside the us

[Agamenticus]

Thank you. Several apps work , some do not. But , the Fire does not have all the bells and whistles (sensors) some phone have on board. Trying different apk files now.

[tangoblueyt]

Wwwaaayyyy to much work

[Peroxide014]

nice video, im definitely buying this. im gunna use apktop. com though, way easier and the apps are free from there

[sunnygirl328]

It worked like a charm! Thank you so much!!

[mavnova]

The apk file is in my downloads folder, I don't know if that is relevant.

[nat3mil]

@mavnova did u download it from 4shared or something? I'd try a diff version

[mavnova]

plants vs zombies

[mavnova]

I get a parse error when i click on the apk in my file explorer.

[nat3mil]

@mavnova which apk? 

[5starminus2]

@nat3mil can you just go to the app store in your browser and install it from there

[nat3mil]

@5starminus2 from the android market website? No if u try it just sends u to the amazon app store

[1bballplayer2011]

thanks for all the help

[1bballplayer2011]

Does this mean that you can install a new home app like launcher pro or adw or something?

[nat3mil]

@1bballplayer2011 yup, although I couldn't get launcher pro to work,but go launcher works. I think adw works too

[tormaid42]

Would the user, after rooting the Kindle Fire, be able to install vanilla android over the amazon software and UI?

[nat3mil]

@tormaid42 not yet, but I'm sure people are working on it now. I'll be posting a video on how to do that when a rom is available

[CandysAllMediaReview]

Some of us don't have PC's! Can't you just email the apk to yourself??

[nat3mil]

@CandysAllMediaReview or just download it directly from your kindle browser
