Just use your Fire to browse to that link and tap on the file that ends with “APK.” Install the latest version of LauncherHijack.(Or, in the case of Google Now, that it will tell you to change your launcher setting.) Install the launcher you want to use, and make sure it will run on your Fire at all.Remember, you may also have to register your Fire with Google to get it to let you log into the store.
I’ve enjoyed using my Fire HD 8 tablet as my “main” Android tablet these last few months, but I finally got fed up with some of the annoyances of the built-in Fire launcher.

There’s a link to a renamed and rebuilt APK file in the thread, and I’ve tried it and it does work-though the usual cautions about installing packages from unverified sources apply. As the posters to this XDA Developers forum thread determined, Amazon has apparently blocked any package by that specific name from running, and working around it is as simple as rebuilding the package with a new name. Update, : LauncherHijack, mentioned in the post below, has abruptly stopped working.
