If the Fire tablet complains about requiring adb 1.0.32 or higher:

Check your adb version

adb version

It will likely say Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31, that seems to be the newest one in the software repository.

You can grab adb 1.0.32 from google:

wget -O - https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+archive/cd048d18e0b81338c1a04b9749a00444597df394/platform_tools/android/bin/linux.tar.gz | tar -zxvf - adb

This will place adb 1.0.32 in your home directory. To use it type: ./adb (dot slash adb). You can copy the new adb over old one in /usr/bin but I'd recommend just keeping it in your home directory & just add the ./ (dot slash) to any adb commands.

./adb version

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32

Weird issues here, it won't let me change my time zone because of 'parental controls', and I am unable to change the wallpaper, it just spins and then goes back to the settings screen. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if these are parts of the blocked system apps. Everything else seems to work fine.

Can anyone give me a general idea of how long this process takes? I've factory reset my kindle to 5.0.1, I've got ADB debug setup on the kindle, got the adb file from the post installed, and I've run the .bat file and hit enter to continue. It's been quite a while now (15 min) and I haven't seen the Kindle reboot.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
should only take about 2 mins, likely drivers are not correct

I'm on Windows 10. What drivers do I need. Don't I just need the universal adb one in the first post? If not, could you please point me in the right direction. Got this as a birthday gift for my daughter and I need to get the Playstore on it asap.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
+90% of the time you need to manually select drivers in Device manager

After using the driver installer

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

manually select drivers

Open device manager Settings>Devices>Device Manager

Connect Fire to pc

Enable USB debugging

(If Fire is not listed as Android>Android Composite ADB interface)

select Other Devices>Fire

Right Click>Update Driver Software

Browse my computer for Driver Software

Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer

select Android or Android Phone (or ADB Interface or Android Device)

Select Android Composite ADB interface for Stock rom or recovery/adb sideload

Select Android ADB interface for Fastboot mode

or Android Composite ADB interface

next

you may have to reboot pc

For those looking to replace Amazon launcher:

Search on YouTube: How to Root the Amazon Fire 5th Gen 7in tablet and remove fire launcher (Rootjunky.com)

You need to root your device in order for this to work AND ANOTHER LAUNCHER ALREADY INSTALLED. Basically, you just delete the Fire launcher from /system/priv-apps/. When you reboot your Fire, it will automatically use the other launcher (or ask you to choose, if you have more than one installed).

See video for more info.

FSS Script Why hide not disable?

I have run your script, great thanks. I am on 5.0.1 not rooted. This morning my fire booted and showed "updating, this may take 10 minutes".

I do not know whether this was an Amazon push or any of my other apps updating, but it worried me. So I tried to disable with this command, adb shell su pm disable com.amazon.otaverifier

But this failed as could not find su, and without su I get java error, presumably because it needs root privileges.

How can hide stop the OTA updates please? If I need disable any tips on getting root please? The scripts posted earlier this year fail on my 2015 model running 5.0.1

that is normal, likely runtime was just rebuilding.

[Fire General] JustBiteMe2k:
I have used the excellent FSS script without any issues (thanks again!).

I then followed the RootJunky video and rooted the Fire 7" to load a new launcher.

As in the video, I had pre-installed the Apex and Google Now launchers, but when trying to run the Now launcher, it tells me my version of the Play store is out of date and I need to update (a good reason to have more than one launcher installed I guess, if i'd just had the Now launcher, then who knows what state i'd be in :confused: )

So, did anyone else come across this? Is it a safe to update to the latest Play Store app or am I better sticking with the Apex launcher and Play Store apk that came with the FSS downloads ??

Thank you
[Fire General] Pond-life:
Pretty sure Play store updates itself, the now launcher wanted me to update the app just called "Google" though on mine.
[Fire General] CLowe9582:
I performed a factory reset on my fire 7" and it seems to have automatically updated to Fire OS 5.1.1.

Edit - I ran the script and it installed the pay store etc. but didn't remove any of the Amazon junk.

[Fire General] adtamez:
Same question. I already went through the setup and installed play store and other Google apps. If I run this script, do I have to install everything again?
[Fire General] tufkal:
As I noted in the original post:

The changes it makes are all adb commands, it does not use fastboot, or anything root for that matter. You can safely run it over and over, it does not erase anything or factory reset anything. It simply disables certain key Amazon things, and sideloads a few APKs to add things.
[Fire General] adtamez:
Oh true. I did read that statement. It seems my brain didn't process it. Dumb me. Sorry. But I still appreciate taking the time to answer and clarify.

On another note, do you know which apks should remain unhidden in order to keep Amazon video, music, and books? Am I right to assume that just does three apps or there are any other related to them that should also remain unhidden?

No matter what I do I can't seem to get a clear picture. Everything is blurry. I can't figure out if my expectations are just too high.....I came from an LG G4 but still. How are you guys getting good pictures? I'm talking 5% of the pictures I take are passable. Maybe I have a faulty camera? Anyone else find the camera to be garbage? I've looked through the camera threads and people seem happy overall. It can't just be me.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
They're blurry. That the thing, that's new to me. Good lighting with as steady a hand as I can muster still results in a blurry shot. I'll take one now and post if I can.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
This is probably a stupid suggestion, but have you tried just wiping the lens and making sure it's clean and clear? Honestly I've had that problem before where it's been smudged without my noticing and it obviously makes every picture screwed up. I know it's not likely, but something that's worth a shot I've found! Other than that I know nothing about cameras and coming from an HTC One I know nothing of a quality photo...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trace1er:
No, I agree with [MENTION=5189971]jiggyb21[/MENTION], I just bought the Moxo X and came from the Galaxy S6. The camera on the Moto seems like pure garbage to me, and I think it's because we are coming from phones with superior cameras. People who came from phones with worse cameras will obviously think the Moto X camera is great right?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbar98:
I don't have the steadiest of hands, but I haven't run into a problem like what you are describing. Have you given some thought that you might have a faulty device? It uses phase detection for focus, so if every picture is blurry you may have an issue with the actual camera module.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milski65:
I've tried a few camera apps, and though pics come out good, man do I really have to keep a steady hand. Move it a hair and any text blurs. Why not lean it up against something to take your handling out of equation and voice command take pic and see what comes up.

It would be nice if you could post some samples. I'm not in love with the camera but I have consistently been able to snap photos that are good enough quickly
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
I don't even know if I uploaded the pics correctly and if not I'll fix it later while I'm watching the Giants beat on the Eagles. Something interesting happened while taking these pictures. I am in 100% optimal lighting conditions and these are basically the best 4 shots I could possibly get out of this camera. I asked around to the people here on the jobsite with me and everyone thought the pictures were just fine. Yes, they aren't blurry to the point of being unreadable by any means but they are quite blurry. I guess it could just be me but I would still argue it's not. Before anyone says anything about how this is just a smartphone and it's only a $400 smartphone at that and it's good enough, I know that and maybe people who haven't used a good smartphone camera don't know what they're missing. If that's the case, fine, and that's why I started this thread was to find out. My last 4 phones were Xperia ZL, Z2, Z3 and LG G4. We all know the G4 and S6, to name two, have incredible cameras and have OIS. The first 3 I named weren't and don't. They were all rated as average cameras and they don't have OIS. I have hundreds of pictures taken in similar conditions with the Sonys and they didn't suffer from blur. Like I said these 4 pictures were surprisingly good IMO. Most I take are MUCH more blurred and most of the pictures I take aren't in this perfect a light. So I'll have to post more pictures from my collection at home to really show off the bad ones.

If you zoom in a little on the pics its almost a 3D art poster kind of eye strain. Again, I'm not talking about level of detail, just the blurriness.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8man001:
I think part of the pictures of blurry because of shallow depth of field due to lower aperture setting in the software algorithm. It seems the software is trying to compress too much noise. Although I have not personally used it, try the following link for the alternative camera and report back the results. Hope this works out for you:

Not really. I have a DSLR so that's my standard on PQ. In daylight, nothing should be blurry at 100% zoom on even a $200 phone. You don't need flagship to take a good photo at 1/125 second shutter speed. It's either defective camera unit or something is wrong with the setting. Just look at all the photos people have posted on this forum.

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

It's a f 2.0 lens. You gonna have blurriness around the edge of photo if you are taking it that close. It has nothing to do with OIS.

In any case, you can read the professional review of the XPE here.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanbailie:
If you're in good light, this is arguably one of the best phone cameras out there. Your pictures should be nice and crisp. Try this: take your camera outside during the day and take a few shots of the horizon or something. Then post the pictures here and we'll tell you (hopefully) if you've got a faulty unit. It sounds like your phone is not performing as mine is. I'm even satisfied with some indoor shots with this camera. I have done professional photography, so I am well-versed in cameras (color, WB, ISO, exposure, f-stop, etc.).

Even from reading reviews and comparisons from the web and tech reviewers, this camera performs with, and sometimes beats the other current flagship models out there. I happen to agree with them. From reading this thread though, maybe your camera isn't the only one with this problem.

Anyway, try to post a couple of pictures up. A link to an external host like photobucket or something like that would probably be better than uploading straight to XDA, due to compression and size limits.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Edit: looks like I missed a page :)

Those photos don't look that bad. What sort of blurriness are you talking about? The bokeh from taking close up pictures? Bokeh is a natural blurring effect you get from a larger aperature lens not being able to capture the entire depth of field. That's normal. The focused part of those pictures don't look blurry to me.

As an aside, any indoor shot will not be optimal lighting, unless you have a lighting kit or something to really brighten up the scene. Optimal lighting would be outside, and when the sun is not directly overhead. This is a very quick summation of optimal light, but you get the point.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioneng:
Thanks for your tip. After turning off NR in advanced setting, I tried a couple of indoor shots of some writings on my note book. Please excuse the terrible lighting and my bad handwriting, but it's very easy to tell which shot had the NR off. Yes the one with NR off has a dirtier background, but the pen strokes has much better contrast from the paper. That's probably one of the reasons why the default setting produces blurry photos.

Thank you and this is why I wanted feedback. I posted the pictures I did (close-up), because, to me, they were the most objectifiable shots I could take while at work. The text just isn't as clear as other shots I've taken with other phones. I called it optimal lighting because I was in a 6x6 room with three windows and a skylight on a sunny day with no direct sunlight. The lighting felt like the kind any decent camera would take advantage of. To me, that's optimal..but I understand that's a strong word and not scientific. The fact that it scores so highly in professional reviews is what has me frustrated. The only thing I can deduce is that a professional, lab environment is more controlled and repeatable than my layman's point and shoot approach. They must be using a tripod, right? This phone has everything else I want and I just want to like the camera. So believe me, I want to figure out how to enjoy the camera. I will take more shots tomorrow and post them and I hope you and others with knowledge will chime in. I just know that with the other smartphone cameras I mentioned earlier, 8 out of 10 shots were keepers and with this one it's more like 1 out of 10 and that's not jiving with everyone else. Thanks again.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert stig:
looking at the pictures, they seem just fine to me. the blurred part (glue) at the bottom of the bottle is just from it using a wide aperture. the images are not tack sharp but this is a cellphone camera and small dof. I dont see motion blur.

problem with auto cameras is that you dont know what priority it has. to use a wide aperture to get a decent shutter speed and not have to use high iso or the opposite.

for proper exposure you have to adjust and juggle the 3 parameters (iso/aperture/shutter) to get a proper image.

wish the phone had controls like the LG G4 which has aperture iso shutter WB and EC.
