This makes them "look like" stock android. The fire toolbox (XDA developers) can do so many cool things, but the main ones are - remove ad lockscreen, allow launcher change (I use Nova), Prevent over the air updates (which can revert your tablet to original Fire function), and allow the google play store to be added. Turns out my pervious fire tablets, an HD8 and HD10 were Fire OS 7.3.2.1, Also a good thing.

Turns out that they were an old Fire OS 5.x.x.x which is loosely, android 5. I received two $20 refurbished Fire HD8 Tablets (2017) for $20 each and they were in perfect shape. I wanted to post back to let you know what I learned, with a warning (see red). I know I might be walking the line regarding this being a sb forum and me posting about tablets, but its in the vein of using the tablets as UI/Kiosks running material. These are "good" so maybe (?) they will have some marks? Finally, they seem to be a little laggy at times, but only by today's standards.īut for $20, you don't even need a case, as it would probably cost you more! Also, the ones I have gotten in the past were "condition - very good. I have a USB-C -> micro adaptor handy at my charging locations. I then basically have them laying around in listening areas.Ī couple notes, they come with a charger, but this gen is Pre USB-C. I also add a few simple widgets (like weather, sports scores) and a browser. What I do is run XDA Developers "Fire Toolbox" which removes the Amazon aspect of the tablet, adds google play, Nova Launcher, basically creating a "stock android like" experience. I actually prefer the 8" (ease of handling, use in portrait), so for $20. I have also bought and set them up for friends. I have a few of these laying around as LMS/Material UI's with the benefit of a quick browser. $5/$10 upcharge respectively to double the memory Push and Pull – Copy files to tablet, and copy files from tablet to PC.For those in the US (and maybe elsewhere?), Woot! (Amazon closeout "deal" arm) is selling refurbished Fire HD Tablets 7th generation (2017) for $USD20.00 for the 8" and $USD40.00 for the 10".
