Installing YouTube and Chrome on rooted Kindle Fire

[pyraetos]

Howdy,

I rooted my Kindle Fire with the intent of using something better than the crap stock Amazon browser to watch YouTube videos. I thought that having access to the Android Market would let me get apps like Chrome or YouTube, but they don't appear when I access the market from the Kindle. I can, however, get to their app pages on the market if I do it on my computer, but it won't let me download them, saying they're incompatible with the Kindle Fire.

I was under the impression that rooting the device allows one to install such normally-incompatible apps? How does the Android Market even recognize my tablet as a Kindle Fire, if Kindles aren't even supposed to be using it?

Thanks for helping.

Chome works only on ICS ROMS, so it won't show up on GB Kindle Fires (can't even side load from what I know). As for YouTube, you'll have to side load.

Ah, okay. Does anyone have a link to the latest YouTube?
