Sideloading APKs[edit | edit source]
A guide for enabling Unknown Sources can be found here.
There are two ways to install APKs, one through downloading stuff off the Browser, and the more advanced method being ADB.
For the latter, you'll need to download the latest ADB and Fastboot binaries, install the necessary drivers, and enable USB debugging. You can access developer options by lookign for the Developer options menu item and tap it, then tick USB debugging to enable ADB mode.
-
Open Settings. -
Go to Device options. -
Tap on About Fire Tablet, then tap serial number 8 times. -
Go back and tap on Developer Options
-
Turn Developer settings on and enable USB debugging
Now plug your Fire HD 8 to a computer, then using a command prompt, run the following command:
adb devices
You should get an authorisation screen, and make sure to tick the checkbox so it would be authorised the next time you plug your device in. The command prompt should also display something along the lines of this:
1111111111111111 device
Once that's done, you may now install APKs using this method. To do so, key in the following:
adb install foobar.apk
where foobar.apk could be any APK file you have lying around. If done correctly, it should show up on the application menu.
