Amazon’s Fire range of tablets are dirt cheap, but that affordability comes at the cost of a heavily skinned UI that lacks Google Play ecosystem and has a tonne of other limitations. Senior XDA community member, Datastream33, has developed a new app called Amazon Fire Toolbox that lets you run Google apps and do a lot more on Amazon’s cheap tablets.

As per an XDA-Developers report, it is compatible with all Amazon Fire tablets dating back to the Fire HD 6 that was launched in 2014. However, you need to enable USB debugging firsthand, because the app uses Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to execute commands on the tablet. (Read Amazon’s guide on working with ADB on Fire tablets here).

The Amazon Fire Toolbox app’s interface looks quite easy and the options you have at your disposal are quite self-explanatory. Here are a few major things it allows you to do on your Fire tablet:

Disable all Amazon bloatware

Sideload any app on the tablet

Install Google Play Store

Replace Alexa with Google Assistant

Remove Amazon ads

Search and install Fire tablet drivers

Force power off / reboot the tablet

Custom adjust the pixel density

Boot into recovery mode

Create restorable system backup

Install a native updater

Local screen recoder

Set custom image as lockscreen wallaper

Ability to install custom launcher

Restore to default Amazon settings

Copy files from PC to tablet
