Depending on the fire os version, you can disable several apps, stop auto updates, install play store, change launcher and disable lockscreen adds. Just do a search un the amazon fire forum.

Also are included any launcher tool ans you can choose your favorite launcher..

Thank you, but I saw a thread that was similar to my issue and I called Amazon told them I want to send the tablet back and get a tablet with no Special Offers. They cancelled the Special Offer free of charge. That's customer service!

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
Call amazon and ask them to remove them, most times they will do it for free but technically they are supposed to charge you $25.

Make up some reason you need it removed.... i Put my kids pics on the lockscreen and the ads block it ...

or my fav... I am travelling out of country so the ads do not apply

:D

you get the idea
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liz.beth:
No you have it wrong, I bought the one without special offers, yet these ads show up in the upper left hand corner of my screen whether my tablet is active or not. They occur above the later if the apps and interfere with the apps in using and they can't be interacted with. Nothing makes them go away until they are done playing except a hard reboot.

This is the second one of these devices to do this. .and they were both without special offers

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Fine you know what since no one seems to understand, I'll return this one too...I'm done with this crap...if I wanted to bombarded by ads is watch live tv

Fine then. So hgow do i unroot my device? Clearly something is wrong that i am getting video ads in the upper left corner of my screen when i clearly purchased the device without special offers. this is the second one of these that i purchased that is doing this. is there another device on the market with similar specs but not beleagured with ads or amazon crap?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Special offers ads only appear on the lock screen. I have not seen an Amazon app that puts the ads anywhere else.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liz.beth:
i sent you an email with a link of the crappy video i made with my possessed galaxy s6 (touchscreen is borked) i tried to show the video and where it appears on the screen and that its on my tablet above the layer of the apps

if there is another device on the market with similar specs, id appreciate a recommendation if you have one that isnt an amazon product
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
If the ads are appearing in a window and are not full screen and do not appear on the lock screen they are not being done by Amazon apps. Did you buy the tablets directly from Amazon or a independent seller on Amazon? And there are no other stock applications that will create ads that are Amazon related apps.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
Ok based on that I would say you must have loaded an apk that is spamming you. I would say uninstall all apps or better yet a factory reset and dont load anything back. See if the ads still show up. If they dont then carefully review all apps you load to find the culprit.

Also I understand the frustration level but try and remember in forums its always better to ask nicely and calm then to ***** and complain as it makes you appear harder to deal with
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liz.beth:
Well i am sending it back tomorrow. Sorry if i sound like a *****, this is my 2nd one. I'm poor and on disability and dont have really the funds to spend on a device that doesnt fulfil my needs. I didnt install any apps on this machine that i havent installed on any other android device and they dont spam me. So if it is an app i loaded and its chosing to spam me because im on a fire hd tablet then i dont want the tablet. I have never had an issue like this with any android or appple device ever, jailbroken or not, sidloaded apps or not. I'm moving on to another device or none at all

Anything on the market with similar specs to this tablet? i couldnt find one on my search of 10 inch tablets. I wanted a tablet so i could do what i do and using google hangouts and dialer for my phone. Since i bought an obi 202 device the phone is no longer a concern as i have a home phone using google voice on my obi 202 and i can now search for a tablet that does actually work for my other needs and it's not so critical that i have it straight away working as it was before when the only option i had was my galaxy s6 phone with its jittsing out touchscreen that keeps closing the apps i open. Ever try using a phone like that? been doing it for over a year. No amount of time in a bag of rice has helped it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
Well of course thats your choice but I will share my experiences as, I like you am on a budget and ALSO have an obihai for my backup phone. 10" tablets that are not apple branded are pretty much all overpriced and also pretty outdated hardware wise. Apple ones are mostly just overpriced.

For the money you will not find a better deal on a tablet, period. The people in this forum are top notch and if you are willing to let us try and help you I am sure we can figure out what is going on. I am running the same tablet, though I actually got mine with offers, on sale. I use mine for 2 primary purposes:

1) video - I play netflix, plex, hulu, philo and some local movies on the sd card

2) remote takeover - Teamview use with a BT keyboard and a mouse

It is spectacular for both these uses.

That said, before you return it I would try the 5610 image posted in these forums that gives root and xposed. Add in the 4 apk's for google playstore compatibility, get dragons modded framewoks and settings and change your default launcher to nova. You pretty much have a very decent lollipop based android feeling tablet. Also with xposed you can enable all kinds of ad blocking until you find the source of your popups.

Just my 2 cents if your deadset on returning it nothing I can do but you wont find a better deal or really a better 10" android based tablet, it just takes some initial work
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liz.beth:

So there is no means to root it now that it's updated to 5.6.1.0 right?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
From reading on the hd10 it IS still rooteable. The catch was you can no longer downgrade the firmware, of course so far there has been no situation/reason one would have to downgrade the firmware but thats the only caveat of 5610. I am actually running full 5610 with xposed and root, the image I mentioned in an earlier post, I just did the upgrade through flashfire, thus my bootloader didn't get updated

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I haven't been on 5.6.1.0 yet. My first HD 10 was actually on 5.4.1.0, which is almost never seen anymore. The latest it got to was 5.6.0.1 only because I couldn't find 5.4.1.0 firmware when I had to reflash. I prefer a more hands on experience when it comes to rooting. I haven't tried 5.6.1.0 due to the fact you cant downgrade. With that said, I also see no reason to upgrade at this time.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
Ok I understand, I was not recommending anyone upgrade to 5610 through amazon but though the image I have mentioned in earlier posts, that way the bootload remains untouched.

Look for an Xposed module that disables signature verification. If you use an unsigned app, especially a system app, the icon will appear but the app will immediately force close or not open at all. If that doesn't work you will have to reflash stock.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Yes. Apps from the Google play store run on all Amazon tablets. There are a few that have some kinks and hurdles. Gmail works on some Amazon tablets while it won't on others. No one really knows why. If you are looking to root, the HD 10 can be rooted out of the box and is the only Amazon tablets at present that can be rooted. Otherwise the HD 8 is a great device too.

Rooted Fire HD 10 2017 Wont Boot

Hey guys. I posted this as a new thread before I noticed this sticky. Figure I'll put it here to in case it's more visible.

Hi guys. I have a Fire HD 10 2017. When I first got it I let it update to 5.6.2. Later I decided to root with the intention of clearing Amazon bloatware and changing the launcher for a more minimal Android experience. I successfully gained root using Kingaroot, installed SuperSu, changed my build.prop to 987654321 to preclude future updates, and followed a tutorial here to delete many Amazon apps via ADB.

After deleting several apps, not including the Fire Launcher, I restarted my device. Now it will not boot to Home screen. It simply shows the Amazon start up screen. I can access the restore mode, and tried to do a factory reset, but no change.

The only thing I can think to do now is reload a stock 5.6.0 rom. Will that work? Can I do that from just the restore interface? Are there any guides posted here to help me through that?

Thanks for your help, any assistance is appreciated.

Move(apps) to SD does not work properly (fire hd 8 7th gen)

So for some stupid reason, the fire lets me move apps to my SD card, but only a tiny portion of the data instead of the bulk data like how any other Android device does it. Real racing 3 for example can move 3.5gb of data to the SD on my Android 6.xx and Android 4.xx phone's but not on the fire

In the storage menu, it claims the bulk of the data is on the SD card but it definitely isn't there and I'm running out of space because of this stupid error /implementation of a basic Android feature.

I did notice one stupid message, it says user data will be stored on the internal storage. If that's causing the issue, why does the fire still claim so much data is on the SD when it isn't?

What can I do? Is it possible to root the fire and use a script to trick it into thinking the SD is the internal or is that still being worked on? Is there a simpler way to get the fire to put app data on the SD for compatible apps?

if I need to I could post some screenshots of what I'm talking about, but hopefully I did a good enough job explaining it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
If on the HD 10 you can root. There's a reason this happened. Amazon took out the code in the platform.XML file that allows apps and data to be able to be fully put onto external storage. I have to look it up again. I'll do that when I get home and let you know what to do.
