I did the same thing, waited until I saw someone demonstrating on youtube using my exact generation and OS version. (I'm 7th gen, OS 5.6.2.0 Sept, 2018.)

It all worked perfectly, 4 files installed, took no longer than 10 minutes or so. The Fire is now worlds better, much more useful. No ill effects of any kind so far. Glad I did it.

I only wish there were some easy and simply way to block and unblock any more Amazon firmware updates, at my option. I fear someday Amazon might screw with all my google niceness in a future firmware update.
