    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.

        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

      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
