How To Install Google Play On Kindle Fire (Without Root)

A quick tutorial on how to install Google Play on Kindle Fire: quick tips & tricks to show you how to get Google Play on your Kindle Fire in a few minutes. 

In this tutorial we will show you how to install the biggest appstore - Google Play - on your Kindle Fire

How To Install Google Play On Kindle Fire

Even though the Google Play Store and all of Google's own apps are missing from the Amazon Appstore, you can easily sideload them to your Kindle Fire.

The great news is that you don't even have to root or modify your device in any way.

All you need is in this tutorial. Getting Google Play on your Kindle Fire is a one-time process and no advanced knowledge or any special skills are required.

To get Google Play on your Kindle Fire, you need to install the following four APK files (in the exact order they are listed below):

1. Google Account Manager
2. Google Services Framework
3. Google Play Services
4. Google Play Store

Note that each of the above files is a link to APKMirror which lets you download APK files (apps you can install) of many different Android apps.

There are a few different ways you can download and install these files. The easiest is to download them directly to your Kindle Fire (shown next in Option A). Another way is to download them to your PC/laptop and then transfer them to your tablet (Option B).

Option A: Download Google Play Files to Your Kindle Fire

For the fastest method, get your Kindle Fire and using your tablet's internet browser (called Silk) go to this page (yes, the one you're reading right now... unless you're already reading this article from your Kindle Fire than you're already doing this step). This page's full URL is:

Next you'll need to go to the four links listed above (for the Google apk files hosted at APKMirror) and tap each link one at a time. On the page that loads, you'll probably need to scroll down a bit until you see the colored button that says, "DOWNLOAD APK":

A new page will load and after a few moments the file will try to download. However, you might get a warning message before you can continue. If you do, tap "OK".

The file will begin to download and you should briefly see the following windows pop up at the bottom of your screen.

Repeat with each link above until you've downloaded all four files. If this option worked for you, then skip Option B below and go to the next section, "Allow Installation from Unknown Sources". (If you don't have this feature turned on you won't be able to install these Google Play files to your Kindle Fire.)

Option B: Download Google Play Files to Your Computer

For this option you will need: Your Kindle Fire tablet (connected to the Internet), a USB cable (for transferring files), your desktop computer and a few minutes of your time. 

Similar to Option A, you will need to go to the four APKMirror links above and click on the DOWNLOAD APK button to download each app file to your desktop/laptop computer.

As soon as you've downloaded these files, you can transfer them to your Kindle Fire. The easiest and the quickest way is to:

• Connect your Amazon tablet to your computer with the use of a USB cable. When your computer recognizes your tablet you will see Fire under Devices and drives.

Since we are talking about the Amazon tablet, we suggest using your Amazon Drive to transfer files. Here is what you need to do:

• Sign in to your Amazon Drive on your desktop/laptop computer (the one where you copied the files). Make sure you log in to the same account that your Kindle Fire is registered with. You can log in to the Amazon Drive here.

• Just like you did with transferring files manually, you can simply create a new folder or use an existing one to copy the downloaded files to.

• Now you need to access your Amazon Drive and the files you have just transferred from your Kindle Fire. Click on Docs (the icon on the home screen in the app grid) to ensure that the APK files have been correctly uploaded).

Before you can install these files, make sure the necessary security setting on your Kindle Fire is turned on, which is explained next.

Allow Installation From Unknown Sources To Get Google Play On Your Fire

The Kindle Fire, by default, won't allow you to install apps outside of the Amazon Appstore. This is, obviously, for security reasons.  

The apps you need to install for this tutorial come from outside of the Amazon Appstore so you need to first allow the installation of unknown apps.

Here is what you need to do:

• Go to Settings (just swipe down from the top of the screen to access quick settings and notifications) and then choose Security.

• Under Advanced you will see Apps from Unknown Sources. Tap the toggle button to allow the installing of apps from unknown sources. Click OK to dismiss the warning.

• If you have correctly activated installation from unknown sources, the toggle button will be orange like on the screenshot below.

Your Kindle Fire is now ready for installing apps from unknown sources. This is an extra functionality but it may also mean extra risk. Be careful and don't install any app you don't fully trust. 

Installing the Necessary Google Play Store Apps

What you have to do now is install the four APK files in the following order: Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services and Google Play Store.

The easiest and the quickest way to install the files on your Kindle Fire will be to use the Docs (Documents) section on your Kindle Fire.

You can find the Docs shortcut icon on your Kindle Fire's HOME screen and then tap the Download folder (or if you used a different folder during Option B go to where you saved the files).

If you used Option A the files that were downloaded will have a really long name but if you saved them in the proper order you can install them by date and time, starting with the oldest time stamp and moving forward to the newest.

Here's the order of the files with their full filename:

1. Google Account Manager:
   com.google.android.gsf.login_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI21(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
2. Google Services Framework:
   com.google.android.gsf_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI22(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
3. Google Play Services:
   com.google.android.gms_9.8.77_(230-135396225)-9877230_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
4. Google Play Store:
   com.android.vending_7.0.25.H-all_0_-80702500_minAPI14(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

Below is an image showing the order when the files are sorted by date (tap the sort icon at top right, the one that has three uneven lines).

Be sure to check the FILE NAME of the apk files on your Kindle Fire before installing them, to make sure you install them in the proper order.

When you tap the file you'll need to scroll down to the bottom (or tap the "NEXT" button at the bottom right) before the "INSTALL" button will be available.

After the app is installed tap the "DONE" button to return to the Docs and install the next file.

When all four files have been properly installed you should find the Google Play Store App at the bottom of your Kindle Fire's HOME screen. Please note that this app, and those you install from Google Play, will not show up on your APP screen.

Go ahead and tap the Play Store to open it. You'll need to login to your registered Google Account by signing in with your email address and password, or create a new account if you've never signed up with Google before.

Once you're signed in and the app does a little update, the full Google Play Store should be ready to use.
