You need to install a widget picker app. Stericson's kindlefree app does this for you.
Don't u have to be rooted to use his app though?

I'm using kindle fire hd 7.2.3, unrooted, & allowed installationof 3rd party apps but when I try to install Apex Launcher or Go Launcher Ex or Go launcher HD it says that it installs but there's no evidence of it being installed even after reboot. So, I read here that someone suggested using "bar shortcut" downloaded and installed via 1mobile - but when I go there i can download 1mobile's apk but then Kindle says 'cannot open file' when I try to install it.
Sorry to be so lame .(I'm a noob to this site& to kindle, but not a noob to android and I have used Go Launcher on my android phone before)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
You can't open them because you have to be able to move the.apk to the system/app folder, which can only be done using a file explorer app.UPDATE: ADW Launcher EX actually DOES work on an UNROOTED Kindle Fire HD - it's not really the one I want to use but it is definitely a clear indication that Kindle Fire doen't have to the rooted to use launchers
I'd still appreciate any help on why i can install but not open Apex launcher or Go Launcher though... anyone?
Here's an oddball launcher called "Android 7 Launcher"
Works pretty good on kfhd7.
Atom launcher is my favourite,works flawlessly not supported in market you have to side load
