One thing I don't understand is why WPS word processor is not showing up as an app, it doesn't on the HD6 either, but it shows up when you go to open a doc. They also mentioned a new calculator app for Sangrea, but I have not seen it.
I need to give Sangrea a better workout on the HD7, but so far I like it overall.
Hello! There is no built-in calculator app in Fire os 4.1.1 or am I missing something?

Secondly, any place to download stock apps (.apk ), fire phone for example?

If you can find an older update, you could probably get whatever stock apps you want back. Fairly easy to take the .bin and extract it. It's just a zip archive.

The Fire Phone's APKs are encrypted, so won't work on another device unless someone deodexed them which hasn't happened yet. I don't know if our existing tools would work either.

The Kindle Fire has never had a calculator built in. You need to look in your cloud for that app if you had a calculator.

I know! But there was an information in letter of 4.1.1 Update - New Weather and Calculator apps
Weather provides a quick snapshot of hourly and daily weather, and also features RealFeel temperature to account for factors such as humidity and wind. Calculator's elegant display makes number crunching fast and easy.

I have the weather app, but looks like it's missing Calculator app

This is just the first of many updates. There are several features not yet released.

The first post in this thread:

(but I can't find the Calc. app).

I replaced the new smaller Fire keyboard with the larger SwiftKey one and I'm much happier. I lifted the apk from my Nook HD.

I rarely use the keyboard, so I really don't care when it changes.

That's a 1st gen HD and it will NOT get the FOS 4 update; otherwise, it's up to date.
