TVs, Echo Show, and other gear could sport Amazon's in-house replacement soon.
Amazon Fire Tablets and other gear will reportedly switch away from Android::TVs, Echo Show, and other gear could sport Amazon’s in-house replacement soon.
Honest question for everyone. And sorry if I sound biased. But does anyone’s fire tablet not run like shit? All the ones we have are slow to load, buggy, and seem full of bloat.
This seems like a bad plan. While Fire OS has always been an outdated mess of AOSP, it still supports large pool of apps with sideloading. This is also probably expensive to build and they continue losing large amounts with their Alexa stuff. I wish for a third option besides just Android and IOS ,but I’m not holding my breath for this being it.
Kind of off topic, but can anyone suggest an alternative to Google TV? I have an old version that is fine, but this i recently purchased one with the new UI and it is horrible. I haven’t tried replacing the home app yet, but will try soon.

But, why?
Control, greed, money.

My mind immediately went to the Fire Phone

Microsoft gave up far too easily. We should have a Windows phone.
But the better alternate to iOS did not win. Google had the funds to push Android forward, where WebOS did not.

Nvidia shield?
Shield is stuck with the new UI too (tho alternative launchers can be installed). Honestly it doesn’t bother me as much as other people tho
Maybe put kodi on a raspberry pi?
just install another launcher?
That’s what I meant by home app. I haven’t had the chance to do so the work necessary for it.
