If they hadn't locked into amazon appstore, I feel like they could have made it work.
Either cough up money for Playstore or better yet just make windows store compatible with android and easier to use.
TIL there's an Amazon app store.
Lol. Yeah, they've got quite the wall around their garden. It's hell getting the play store running on their hardware.
I recently discovered Aurora, which allowed me to easily install Firefox on my Fire HD. Lots of other stuff too (better launcher, for instance) but I found it because the web just sucks without Ublock
Have you ever tried using aurora instead of the play store for devices that don't natively have it?

It works very well, I use it all the time on GrapheneOS
Nope. Never had enough trust. I'd sooner use a website and use virustotal to scan. At least you know what you are getting that way.
I may experiment with it on an expendable device, so thank you all the same.
I've since tried it on a Bliss FOSS image. Still not able to get apps working.
I mean, Waydroid works fine with Aurorastore and even Playstore. Sure that may break, but all that capitalist "we buy licenses" BS of course costs money
