[Q] Possible to sync Amazon apps to the launcher after installing Amazon Appstore?

I installed Amazon Appstore apk - in order to have all my Android Apps in the "Apps" menu in the FireTV Launcher - works great.
The problem is, I can't seem to download any new Amazon Apps:
The Appstore app crashes after few seconds every launch.
And when using Amazon's website to "Deliver" them - then "Syncing" through menu, I can't get to the "Cloud" menu that was present in the original launcher - in order to download the app itself.
It's depressing to uninstall Appstore and re-install it every time I download a FireTV App.
Is there a way to download FireTV official apps with Appstore apk installed?
Thanks!

This is already known. The only option is to uninstall the regular Amazon App store. Do the syncing & then re-install the non FTV Amazon App store again. Wash, Rinse & Repeat.

Sideloaded Amazon App Store to see all apps but now apps in recent menu dont work

Hello,
I saw in a video that if you sideloaded the Amazon App Store to your FireTv you could then see all sideloaded + regular apps in the app section instead of having to go down to system, mange, apps, ect. However, now I cannot click the app icons under recent in the first menu of FireTV. I assume this is because of installing the App Store correct? Anyway to keep the app store and make those apps clickable again?
Had the same issue. Uninstalled it and they work again. I would like to see if anyone had any luck with this if so what version of the app store did you use?
Try this
Found this on the Amazon Appstore. It is not the prettiest app, but will show on your home and app screens. Just click on it for a list of all of your installed native and sideloaded apps.

[Q] Amazon Prime Music app crashing

I've updated to 4.6.1. (GSM Unlocked). When I try to use Amazon Prime Music and choose "cloud" instead of device, it shows the cloud items for a split-second, then goes back to "device".
I noticed I had two Amazon Music apps installed, different version numbers. One I could uninstall, the other claims it's a system app and cannot be uninstalled. I uninstalled the newer one, leaving the "system" version. Same behavior.
When I go to the Amazon app store and download and install the latest one, it says "There was an error while installing Amazon Prime Music. Please try again.".
When I access music in my library, the app just crashes and offers to send a report (I presume to Amazon).
Any idea how I can get a fully functional Amazon Music app installed?
Additional note: Is there an Amazon Music app AND an Amazon Prime Music app?
Are you using a Launcher other then the stock Fire OS? I had the same issue with the Kindle app. Amazon seems to have 2 "Apps" for their services that launchers show. One does not work the other does. My Music app does break if you installed it from the Google app store. You said you tried from the Amazon store so I'm not sure. The new Music 4.4 app just came out see if you can find the APK for it.

What I wound up doing was "uninstalling updates" from the one I could not uninstall completely. That reverted me back to some really old version of the music app. Then, I went to the Appstore and found Prime Music and this time it installed.
But, yes, I have Dodol launcher, and it still shows "Music" app and "Amazon Music" app. The later is the newest version that now works.
Thanks.

Can I install/use Play Store Apps under FIre 2015 Kids Edition?

So I have two rooted 2015 Fire Tablets (Kids Edition) with the Google Play Store installed awaiting my kids for Christmas. They have the freetime app, which is great as they can access a lot of content and essentially is a launcher for kids. You can add programs to the freetime "launcher" under the main account as long as that app is available in the amazon app store. The problem is both my kids LOVE the youtube Kids app, and that is not available in amazon's catalog obviously. They do have some 'knock off' youtube kids apps that are available in the amazon app store but they are seriously lacking functionality.
Does anyone know a way to get google play store apps to be able to show up in the freetime 'launcher' or how the freetime apps are stored so that they can be added to the freetime launcher? I would love to get the official youtube kids on the freetime launcher side of the tablets.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
