The best part of installing the Play Store on your Fire Tablet is that it doesn’t require any in-depth “hacking” like rooting or running scripts from a PC.
That means, that you can install the Play Store and gain access to millions of Android apps and games, including Google apps like Gmail, Chrome, Google Maps, and more. Google has noted that not all users installing the Google Now Launcher will be able to use all the features, as "some features are unavailable in some areas." Users can activate and keep it as the default launcher or can anytime switch back to the old launcher from Settings.Amazon Fire Tablets restrict you to the Amazon Appstore, but runs on Fire OS, a custom version of Android. Also, users can simply tap on the search box for the same. With the Google Now Launcher installed on a device, users can speak the "OK, Google" command from the home screen to trigger voice input, followed by a search query or other miscellaneous commands to send a text message, get directions, play a song and more. With the new wallpaper picker, users can position and preview wallpaper before applying it.
The new home screen with the Google Now Launcher has a larger viewing area as 'the status and navigation bars are now translucent.' The wallpaper now fits edge to edge, and even appears in the back of app drawer to the supported devices. The Google Now Launcher essentially gives Android users a new 'home screen that's clean, simple and customisable.' From the home screen users can just swipe right to access Google Now cards. Google announced the launcher is now available for all Android devices running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or higher, on a Google+ post on Friday.
Till date however, other users were forced to side-load the Google Now Launcher via an apk. The search giant had recently made it available to other Nexus and Google Play Edition devices running Android 4.4.
The Google Now Launcher was originally seen on the Google Nexus 5 smartphone as a part of the Android 4.4 KitKat OS last year. Google on Friday released the Google Now Launcher for all Android devices running 4.1 (Jelly Bean) or higher version of OS.
