[Fire General] Bigsteve703:
Worked on my Fire 7 - running 5.3.64

Worked on my Fire 7 - running 5.3.64 been over a day now. I also was able to hide applications using the run-as com.amazon.unifiedsharefacebook user. I run NetGuard and allow only a few apps to get to the internet. I can monitor attempts and this hack has stopped repeated tries from the system apps. Only apps still active are Fire content Management Service and Fire Standard Keyboard. I am using anysoftkeyboard, so could look to remove the Fire one.

Another Bonus is ram is now under 60% with all these apps not running.

Only thing not working is the 'center' software circle. I am getting an error "The requested action is not permitted. Check Parental Controls settings and retry". I unhid parental controls but still get the error. I work around it by using the back arrow. My default launcher is Apex. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Also removed (hid) the list below:
