How to make your FirePhone look and act like a normal Android Smartphone

Hello,

you got an Amazon Fire Phone and you don't like the User Interface? No Problem, you can change it in the way you like.

The only little Problem is that the other FireOS I use is an English Version - but you can read this, you wil handle the Phone :)

When you downgrade your phone you can upgrade back easily with 3.6.2 Firmware image - it contains german, english, spanish etc. ;)

You need some google Apps, please get them from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2365224

Edit: You also can look at the bottom of this post for a download link!

1. Downgrade your Fire Phone to FireOS 3.5.0 (need for root access) (only Version below 3.6.8, see top)

a)Load and install FirePhone SDK https://s3.amazonaws.com/android-sdk-manager/redist/Fire_Phone.zip (On Win 8 and Up you may reboot your pc and enable unsigned drivers)

b)Enable developer mode on your Device (Settings->Device->GetInfoAboutYourFire->Tab several times on Serial Number etc) and choose USB Debugging

c)Now you have to download Android SDK (ADB Utility) More Information: http://galaxy-note-3.wonderhowto.co...-debug-bridge-adb-utility-windows-pc-0149131/

f)connect your phone to your pc

g)get devices by: adb devices -> when your device is shown you can continue | when not you may have to choose a driver in Device Manager

h)Boot phone into recovery by holding PWR + VOL UP or Type in adb console: adb reboot recovery

i)Now you have to sideload FireOS 3.5.0: type in adb console: adb sideload c:\YOURPATH\update.bin -> this will wipe & reboot your phone

j)When you successfully downgrade your Phone go to Settings->Application&ParentalControls->Prevent non-Amazon app installation
