Hi guys. Now that we have root for the 2017 fire tablet HD, let's share the best apps, tweaks, mods, modules, optimizations etc to get the most out of the tablet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Free4ever2:
I just rooted my HD 10 and think this thread is a great idea.

The first thing I usually do after getting root is to install AdAway to block most ads:

https://f-droid.org/repo/org.adaway_56.apk

I want use Nova as the default launcher. Is there a way to disable or uninstall the Fire launcher completely with root? The Hijackthis utility kind of works, but once in a while the Fire launcher will still show when pressing the home button.

Update: I found out how to disable the Fire launcher following the instructions from this thread here:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Free4ever2:
It appears that many of the tips for the older gen HD 10 tablets also apply to the 2017 model. The thread I mentioned in my previous post has instructions on how to disable Fire launcher and Amazon service that are safe to disable via adb. Also I recommend installing Google Play and disabling OTA services using the script in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/general/tool-disables-ota-lockscreen-install-t3715320

I also installed some of my favorite root apps such as Titanium Backup and Kernel Adiutor. Also grabbed modded Youtube with no ads (non-root) here:

Is there a way to permanently disable all Amazon system apps that may launch at startup and run in the background? I want to disable them to get maximum speed and performance from the device. Maybe what we could do is find an app that shows us what's currently running in the background and using up ram, and then figure out a way to permanently disable and or Uninstall them.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] razers7t8:
These are the system processes that I found running. There are quite a few Amazon-related processes here. Have a look.

Read the posts in this thread (started by DragonFire1024) to get an idea about what can (not) be uninstalled.

We just gained root, and we do not yet have a reliable method to backup/restore partitions. I would urge you to err on the side of caution and, if you really have to, just control the apps that autorun. You can use the startup manager in ROM Toolbox Lite or All-In-One Toolbox to find out what's running at boot.

Before you start, backup your apps+data using TiBu.

Have you tested the recovery procedure detailed in this post? What's your fallback option if your 10 HD gets bricked? All things considered, a reasonably snappy tablet running some bloat is better than a brick you can't recover from.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] razers7t8:
These are the apps that I currently have installed on my fire tablet. Feel free to share your apps, too!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] razers7t8:
Guys,

So I'm using the free version of nova launcher, and one thing that I don't like is that I don't get app notifications. For example, if I get a like on Facebook or a message on Facebook messenger, there's no notification alerting you. Usually you'd see like a "1" on the app icon signaling that there's one new message. Apparently that's because I'm using the free version of nova launcher and the paid version has this functionality built in. I don't want to buy the paid version only to have it not work. Can anyone confirm that the paid version of nova launcher will give me notifications on the app icons, or is this just not supported on fire OS?

*UPDATE*

I think these things are called "badges".
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Tomatenjoghurt:
I have rooted my Fire HD 10 2017, installed SuperSU and now of course it does not pass safety net anymore :rolleyes:

As I was playing some games from Google Play on the tab, this kind of annoys me, but is no dealbreaker at all.

Has anybody made some experience with hiding root / magisk or something else on the Fire HD 10?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] androingo:
i had posted this information on the main 'rooted fire hd 10 7th generation' thread already but thought it was quite useful regarding nova launcher, playstore and using a child profle:

if you want to use use widgets with nova launcher, just convert nova to a system app. the easiest way i found to achieve this is using the link2sd app.

to use google playstore in a different user profile (e.g. parent profile with child restrictions, as i don't like the freetime child profile) you can also convert playstore to a system app (and clear dalvik dalvik cache,also with link2sd). it showed up in the fire launcher on the other profile right after a reboot. just needed to log in again.

maybe you can use it on a freetime profile as well like that (launch it from GoToApp), but i won't try it out now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] razers7t8:
I will test this out today and let you know if I got it to work. The only thing is, I don't have a child profile, I have a secondary adult profile.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] shezzy83:
Once I got root I put adaway, titanium backup, modded pandora. I also put on the viperaudio. Can do that by adding busybox via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox&hl=en

and you'll also need to use something to set selinux to passive for viper to work. I did this by installing Kernal Auditor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en

I used Kernel Adiutor to emulate init.d and used the below script and it works to make it permissive on boot and viper driver shows enabled to confirm it

#!/system/bin/sh

The play store hack didn't work for me after following your instructions regarding link2sd. The play store doesn't appear on my other login account.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] androingo:
hm, that is strange. i did two other things before i had root:

trying to install the 4 apks on the other profile, but only the first 2 could be installed: com.google.android.gsf.login.apk and com.google.android.gsf.apk.

and i entered the following command via adb in the main profile:

adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

but ony after coverting all of the 4 required apks to system apps it worked. did you convert all 4?

if not, maybe one of the steps before make the difference?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] razers7t8:
Oh. That must have been what I did wrong. I only converted the play store apk to a system file. I'll do the other three now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] razers7t8:
Well now the play store shows up on the other login, but when I tap on it, nothing happens. Also, in link2sd, there's no option to clear "dalvik cache." Only "clear cache" which I did.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] razers7t8:
I notice that ever since I turned the 4 Google apps into system apps with link2sd, my Facebook app no longer works. It gets stuck in the screen.:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] androingo:
its in the general menu on the left side. or just boot to recovery and clear cache and dalvik. i think its crucial. might have to manually clear playstore and facebook data too. or just reinstall facebook.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Blaiser47:
Small trick I just discovered. If you are like me and use amazon music and have a Chromecast, you might have noticed that you cannot cast from the pre-installed amazon music app. Since I could cast from amazon music on my phone so I thought maybe it's the pre-installed app on the fire. Sure enough, if you completely remove amazon music from system (I did via adb but assume any method would work), and reinstall it from the playstore, it works!! What's more, alexa integration still works. Hope this helps someone else.

So today the pay version is 99 cents. So far some of the badges are working like the dot and dynamic badges. For the numeric badge you install tesla unread for nova, however I have not been able to get it working for my email. Every time I try to enable for my email it takes me back to the fire Settings. I'm rooted and have disabled fire launcher but have not disabled any other amazon services yet.

Screen mirroring works flawlessly with AirServer. I made the AirServer Connect Android app a system app using link2sd and it works perfectly. I'm using it with my xbox one X right now and it's working great. It supports mirroring at 1080 p 30 frames per second or 720 p 60 frames per second.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] mistermojorizin:
I'm trying to figure out the safest way to install busybox, and I'm not finding a lot. You're one of the few people i've seen that have installed it. Can I ask, what device you have and why you picked this specific fork of busybox? I am on a 2017 hd 10 and rooted with SuperSu. Reading some of the reviews on playstore, some mention this busybox fork is incompatible with SuperSu. Thanks for any help you can give me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bigpapa007:
You can simply install nova, then use titanium backup and freeze fire launcher and that's it.

I have frozen several Amazon system apps and so far no problems.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Blaiser47:

- Gboard (Fire keyboard is terrible!)

- Links2SD (Downloaded in order to make Nova Launcher a system app!)

- SD Maid Pro (Gets rid of abandoned files, cleans the cache and other stuff.)

- L Speed (Safely optimizes the kernel through CPU, RAM, and network management.)

According to the TWRP developers' site, not yet. And in another thread here, someone commented that it's not likely that it will be possible to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and then non-Amazon (eg stock android) roms on this Fire HD 10 tablet. I am considering buying one of these you see, and now wondering if it is indeed not likely we'll be able to dump fire os, given previous generations were apparently unlocked after a while, eg https://www.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hd-6-and-7-receive-bootloader-unlock-and-twrp/

Here's some of the software I've festooned my Fire HD 10 with:

- Link2SD - for systemizing apps

- Nova Launcher Prime (SYSTEM)

- Messagease Keyboard (SYSTEM). I don't know how many people are fans of alternate, non-QWERTY keyboards but I've been using Messagease since my PalmPilot days and I love it.

- Titanium Backup

- AdAway

- WallpapersCraft - there are plenty of good wallpaper apps out there, this just happens to be the one I'm currently using

- Root Checker Pro - lets you know your su and busybox are installed and working properly

- Juice SSH - an alternative for "adb shell" that operates right on the tablet and is useful in my day job besides

- Battery Repair - every device battery I've ever come across has some cells that this app tested as "weak". I don't know what it does, but it seems to pull them up to full strength.

And of course I have a bunch of userspace apps like Dolphin browser, some apps I use with my banjo and way too many games.
