    Hi

    I have an Amazon Fire 7 (9th Generation) Tablet. My issue is that it is limited in the Apps that can be installed from its Appstore.

    I have successfully installed the Google Playstore on it which would allow me access to a lot more Apps.

    My issue is that when I open the Google Playstore it keeps searching for Account info and never gets to the option to allow you to enter in your Account information.

    I have being able to get Development mode up on the Tablet but am not able to get the Playstore to work.

    Any suggestions would be greatly received.

    Regards

    Colm

    This is what i used, PC/Laptop needed with USB cable to fire tablet.

    Very simple process.
