Amazon Fire tablets are great for watching videos, browsing the web, and playing games. However, the tablet’s user interface (UI) is customized with Amazon’s user interface called Fire OS, which is based on Android but doesn’t look like it. If you prefer the clean look and feel of stock Android, you can make your Amazon Fire tablet look more like it.

In this article, we will show you how to make your Amazon Fire tablet look like stock Android.

Step 1: Installing the Google Play Store

The first step to making your Amazon Fire tablet look like stock Android is to install the Google Play Store. Amazon’s app store doesn’t have all the apps available on the Google Play Store, so having access to it will give you a lot more choices.

To install the Google Play Store, open the settings app on your tablet, go to Security & Privacy, and enable the “Apps from Unknown Sources” option. Then download and install the Google Play Store APK.

Step 2: Installing a Launcher

A launcher is an app that controls how your home screen, app drawer, and widgets look and function. Amazon’s Fire OS comes with a built-in launcher, but it doesn’t look like stock Android.

There are a lot of launchers out there, but for a stock Android look, we recommend using the Nova Launcher. It’s available for free in the Google Play Store. Install and launch the app and follow the setup wizard to personalize your screen to your liking.

Step 3: Turn off the lock screen ads

By default, Amazon Fire tablets show ads on the lock screen, which can make your tablet look cluttered. If you want your tablet to look more like stock Android, we recommend turning off the lock screen ads.

To turn off lock screen ads, open the settings app on your tablet, go to Security & Privacy, then choose “Lock Screen Ads.” Tap the toggle to turn off the lock screen ads.

Step 4: Disable Amazon’s recommendations

The Amazon Fire tablet comes with a lot of bloatware, including personalized recommendation widgets and apps. This can make your tablet look cluttered and slow it down.

To disable Amazon’s recommendations, open the settings app on your tablet, go to Apps & Games, then tap on “Amazon Application Settings.” Choose “Recommendations” and turn off the “Amazon Home Recommendations” toggle.

Step 5: Change the Wallpaper

The wallpaper of your tablet is the background image that appears behind your home screen icons. The Amazon Fire tablet comes with a default wallpaper. You can customize your tablet and make it look like stock Android by changing the wallpaper.

To change the wallpaper, long-press on the home screen until the options menu appears. Choose “Wallpapers,” then select “Gallery” to choose an image of your own.

Step 6: Install Stock Android Apps

Google’s apps are what makes Android great. You can install Google’s apps from the Google Play Store. Here are some of the apps we recommend installing to make your Amazon Fire tablet look more like stock Android:

– Google Chrome: for a fast and reliable browser.
– Gmail: for accessing your email.
– Google Calendar: for managing your events and reminders.
– Google Maps: for navigation and location services.
– Google Drive: for cloud storage and document creation.

In conclusion, making your Amazon Fire tablet look like stock Android is not complicated. By installing the Google Play Store, a launcher, turning off the lock screen ads and bloatware, and customizing the wallpaper, you can make your tablet look more like an Android tablet. The Amazon Fire tablet is a great device, but with a few tweaks, it can look and feel like a more conventional Android tablet.
