![]() ![]() The only downside to this is that Google apps don't work without Google Play services, but you should be able to find alternatives (I use Bromite in place of Google Chrome, the stock email app instead of Gmail, and YouTube Vanced instead of YouTube). If I need apps from the Play Store, I use an alternative client called Aurora Store which basically downloads APKs from the Play Store and installs them. It probably won't make a significant difference on the latest HD 10 since it has decent hardware, but on my 2018 HD 8, a 2015 Fire 7, and my 2012 Nexus 7, installing Google services noticably reduces the general responsiveness of the system (I think it's because they have low amounts of RAM). If you want the absolute best performance, you might want to see if you can use the tablet without installing the Google Play services, maybe before you get around to installing it. You can also track down the separate APKs needed to install the Google services too if you want to do it manually or you don't have a PC. Using Fire Toolbox on a PC is probably the easiest way to get the Google Play services and the Play Store sideloaded onto the device. The only reason you would want to "jailbreak" the device is if you wanted to completely replace Fire OS with some stock Android OS, but I don't think there's a working replacement yet. I don't believe there are any methods of jailbreaking the device currently because it's new, unless someone on XDA figured it out. Yeah, a Fire tablet should work fine for those activities.
