[Fire General] Vlasp:
In Developer Settings, is it possible to show screen touches? That was a feature I used a lot on my Kindle First Edition and my Droid Razr. Also, on a locked bootloader it isn't possible to install a Custom Recovery from Fastboot, right? I thought that once you build a recovery for this device, you will be able to install a custom recovery, making Root much more achievable by just flashing the SuperSU zip.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Based on what I read about the processor, our tablet also has a FM Radio and GPS? Sweet!
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
yes there is a show touch option

locked bootloaders usually do not allow flashing of custom recoveries

that is why several devices have bootstrapped recoveries like safestrap.

bootstrapping requires root first.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
There are several different possibilities

Rooting

Someone finds an existing root hack

Someone modifies an existing root hack

Someone finds/creates a new root hack

Custom recovery: There are 2 type of custom recoveries

Bootstrap recovery: requires root (like safestrap)

Replace stock recovery with Custom (may require root)

Requires one of these

Unlocked bootloader

Custom Bootloader

No lock screen ads.

I just set up my girlfriend's tablet, but because she couldn't remember her Amazon account login, I skipped the step. I noticed that she doesn't have any lock screen ads, and instead has beautiful pictures.

If, when setting up the tablet, you never login to an Amazon account, you won't get any lock screen ads. I'm going to factory reset my device, then skip logging in. Most of the tabs look very barren, but I didn't need any of that once I sideloaded the Play store anyways. If you've already logged in at any point, the ads will show and will stay.

Let me know if this works for anyone else.
[Fire General] dawithers:
I noticed this as well. If you are going to sideload apps anyway, this is the way to go. But beware, if you EVER login, there is no way to get rid of the ads. I deregistered my fire and cleared data on all of the system apps and the ads only went away briefly and came back. Only way to get rid of them again is likely to factory reset (again :().

Please see my thread about the adverts here

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/help/advert-model-t3216606

I've had two Fire 7 devices from a retailer in the UK outside of Amazon and both have been logged into Amazon and both have no adverts running on them. I paid the base price of £49.99 which means the adverts should be showing and I did not pay the extra £10.00 to have the adverts removed.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

I have done some digging around on the Amazon customer forums and they have confirmed that the Fire 7 does NOT have Device Encryption and MicroSD Encryption. Why Amazon have decided to remove this very important security feature from the Fire 7 I do not know?

I have also contacted Amazon directly and I am waiting for a response.
[Fire General] ldeveraux:
You know you can adb into the device and remove the ads right? All this fooling around with not logging in is a waste of time. Google it, it's on xda, I think the instructions are for a kindle. Still worked for me though.
[Fire General] Vlasp:
How to get rid of the Lock Screen Ads:

Go in to ADB on your computer and connect your Fire 2015

adb shell
pm hide com.amazon.kindle.kso
exit
adb reboot

Hopefully that works.
[Fire General] k3ll0gs:
It seems the same OTA Update file [otacerts.zip] that is used on other Fire & Kindle models is being used as the config for the Fire 7 for the OTA Update - it can be found in /etc/security/otacerts.zip

Driver Installation is not working

Hello Forum,

i am new here and yes let it say i am a Noob for Rooting an Android Device.

I try to install Google Play Store via all the possible ways which in the forum shown, but nothing works.

It seems the problem is, that the driver which are descripted for download will not accepted from my Device ( Amazon Fire HD 10 32 GB) (System-Version 5.0.1), I tried also the latest USB driver Download but in the Device Manager i get an Error, that the Driver for this Device is not found.

So a cannot execute the ADB command for permission, after i went the way for installing Google Play Store via SD Card and the File-Manager.

I am working on an iMac and have an VM Ware with Windows 7. Are there any possibilities for doing an rooting on the mac, therefor i need the correct and latest files for the Fire HD 10, or do i something wrong on the Virtuell Machine?

Thanks for help and Tips in advance and best Regards from Germany

Fire OS 5.0 Kindle CDA Diagnostic Tool

I don't know if it is there as default, but hidden or if it appears automatically when you tinker around with processes. On all 3 times of tinkering and running pm hide commands it eventually appears on the home screen. ie I have removed/hidden Amazon processes and the device dosen't like it :)

[Kindle CDA Diagnostics] can be found in logcat as com.amazon.firecard.deviceagent.diagnostic.DiagnosticActivity

My main concern is the submit button and what does it actually do? I left CDA running and tapped the [submit] button a few times but nothing showed in logcat. So it appears that this tool is locally based only, it does not try to dial out to Amazon when you submit a log.

Also unless I am tired or overlooked com.amazon.firecard.deviceagent.diagnostic.DiagnosticActivity does not list as a running process at all on my device. The only similar names process I could find showing was com.amazon.connectivitydiag

Could it be a hidden system process?

SIP (VOIP) Calls work

Installed a generic SIP Client and connected to my VOIP Provider. It is a UK Provider that supports SIP Clients - please check with yours before trying this.

Successful calls made to landline & mobile using the SIP client on the Fire 7. Sound quality was good and but remember the speaker is on the back on the tablet if, so don't muffle it by going into speaker mode.

Will test with some mobile phone headphones later.

Used my Samsung headphone & microphone. Worked A+ ok and crystal clear. Obviously call quality will be dependent on your internet connection quality etc But all confirmed working and that also the headphone port on the Fire 7 accepts microphone input.

This tablet just gets better every day :)

Voicemail Alerts if anyone rings my Voip numbers and leaves a voicemail I get an e-mail alert. My Fire 7 has just popped up a Voicemail Notification via my Sip client. ie Android showed that I had a vociemail as a notification.
