0Fixing a slow Amazon Fire HD 8

xmases के एक जोड़े को पहले मैं अपने बेहतर आधा एक अमेज़न आग HD खरीदा 8 गोली के रूप में वह एक बजट टैबलेट रात में पर पुस्तकों को पढ़ने के लिए चाहते थे, और कुलों के संघर्ष की तरह मुक्त एंड्रॉयड गेम खेलने के लिए. आग एक आदर्श विकल्प लग रहा था के रूप में यह किसी भी परेशानी के बिना उसके Kindle खाते में लिंक हैं, और यह भी आधारित एंड्रॉयड है. It was also pos­sible to get a good sized device with­in the price lim­it we set each other.

The prob­lems star­ted from day one. In their determ­in­a­tion to plague us with more adverts than google, Amazon have opted to build their own ver­sion of android called FireOS instead of stick­ing with the Google ver­sion. Along­side this Amazon provide their own built-in apps and their own AppStore. None of this is a prob­lem, लेकिन दुर्भाग्य से, अमेज़न Google Play स्टोर स्थापित करने के लिए एक तरह से प्रदान नहीं करते, and not all of the apps avail­able on play store are avail­able on the Amazon app store — includ­ing Clash of Clans! I’m not sure what the Amazon ‘excuse’ is for this, लेकिन यह उनकी ओर से एक बहुत ही गरीब प्रयास है.

I imme­di­ately set about root­ing the device so that I could install the Play Store and accom­plished this quickly and eas­ily and suc­cess­fully installed the vari­ous games that my good lady wanted. कैसे कभी, ever since the device has been pain­fully slow and quickly stopped being used. I tried all sorts of online advice about clear­ing memory, remov­ing apps, stop­ping pro­grams run­ning in the back­ground, but noth­ing really made any sig­ni­fic­ant difference.

After we moved house a year ago it remained bur­ied away until I stumbled across it recently. I figured I had noth­ing to lose in try­ing to get it back to prop­er per­form­ance, so I star­ted by doing a full fact­ory reset to see if it was still so slow in a default state. As I expec­ted the fact­ory reset made a huge dif­fer­ence and the per­form­ance because entirely usable as expec­ted. I thought it would be more use­ful in this con­di­tion as a back­lit ebook read­er so decided not to try root­ing it again, लेकिन मैं अभी भी अगर मैं कर सकता खेलने के लिए खेल मेरी पत्नी चाहती थी स्थापित करने के लिए एक रास्ता खोजने के लिए करना चाहता था.

After some search­ing I found an art­icle at liliputing.com खुद पर एक एक पोस्ट से जुड़ा हुआ है जो Gilly10 द्वारा XDA-डेवलपर्स. The basic pro­cess is that the 4 APKs needed for the google play store can be down­loaded and installed manu­ally. वहाँ रहे हैं 3 red “notes” at the top of the post on xda-developers, सब 3 of these applied to my device and prob­ably apply to most oth­er devices too.

इन स्थापित कर रहा है 4 APK’s and restart­ing worked fully as hoped. After log­ging into my wife’s google account app of the apps pre­vi­ously installed were (बहुत धीरे) restored auto­mat­ic­ally, and I then restar­ted the device again. Upon first inspec­tion there is no dif­fer­ence between the device pri­or to the fact­ory reset, और कैसे यह अब की स्थापना की है. दोनों ही मामलों में Play स्टोर स्थापित किया गया है और सभी क्षुधा मेरी पत्नी चाहती थी स्थापित कर रहे हैं. There is a reas­on­able amount of free राम and free stor­age. How­ever the per­form­ance dif­fer­ence is enorm­ous. Whilst it was ori­gin­ally almost unus­able, यह अब पूरी तरह से प्रयोग करने योग्य है, with sim­il­ar per­form­ance to a medi­um-range android phone.
