I'm using Fire Toolbox to load Google play store, kill the ads on the lock screen, and install a more traditional launcher. This mostly works fine. I'm not a fan of the Amazon launcher so I can live with having to restart the new launcher the few times it has died in use.
Thanks very much for the link to Fire Toolbox.
Although the Fire tablets use old Android releases, 7.1, Amazon seems to keeps them patched, and are some of the only cheap Android tablets that seem to get regular updates. I don't think I will have any qualms about using this tablet for a number of years.
Good to know.
My 3rd glue job on the Samsung 10.1" 2012 tablet (WQXGA) seems to have worked for now to postpone delamination. Brave browser improves the experience of very old Android. Not sure if I would buy another tablet, but Amazon's pricing sure is attractive.
