I am trying to use launcher hijack v4 on fire stick 4k but LH keeps giving me accessibility error. I read above and seems blocked in new firmwares.

The main reason I want to replace launcher is because I want to use 4k stick with local connected drive even when no internet is connected to stick . But when internet is not connected amazon doesn't show me the home screen to launch apps.

So I was thinking to just use a new launcher but anyone has ideas if there is a simpler way to simply launch apps even if internet not connected to fire TV? Even if I keep current launcher.

Thanks all...
[Fire TV General] Wheezser:
Congratulations and Great work everybody!

I'm new here so I apologize if I'm not talking in the right area but I just wanted to say you guys did a great job. I've been watching for the last week because I'm getting mine on Monday

I haven't done this stuff in years so I'm a little nervous but I have a lot of good people to learn from so I look forward to having some fun with this stick on Monday
[Fire TV General] Coolin82:
Same issue as well. Have the 2019 Fire cube. No matter what I do I can't actually get the custom launcher to stay. Hitting the home button launches the Amazon launcher.
[Fire TV General] ssss25:
Just quoting site:

https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/help/firetvstick4k-updated-info-november-2019-t4007431

this worked for me. Sometimes it goes to amazon launcher but most of the times it goes to ATV
[Fire TV General] TheRealQubix:
[MENTION=989153]ssss25[/MENTION] in this case you can also launch an app by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications and then selecting the app from there, click on it, select "Launch application"... quite cumbersome but another way to launch an app when there's no internet connection. Hope that helps...

I am having a problem with Launcher Hijack on 2 different Fire Stick 4K it will not let me select a launcher and I don’t know what to do to fix the problem at all
[Fire TV General] safwan_nj:
EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM

I have the same problem on my Grundig FireTV Running Fire OS 7.2.0.5

hope somebody can find a solution
[Fire TV General] TheRealQubix:
Do you have any launcher installed? If yes and it still does not show, then try pressing the menu key (three lines) on your remote and de-select "Launchers only"; then it should show all apps... hope this helps.
[Fire TV General] fredsky2:
For everyone with the voiceview/voice-over issue, i've found a somewhat temp fix on this reddit thread

trying to think of a better way but i have no root to just freeze that thing

anyway, perhaps that link might help anyone

------

edit: i found a work-around. It requires a mouse/mouse toggle app

here's what I did

installed a compatible version of ice block and ran it

selected "active with simple adb mode"

adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/com.catchingnow.icebox/files/start.sh

freezed everything with TTS or voiceOver in it

uninstall ice block and we're done

all that might go away with an OTA but i froze that too so idk
[Fire TV General] JUSTINMARMER:
Do you still have the cursor in Silk Browser without mouse toggle or an air mouse with this method?
[Fire TV General] fredsky2:
i dont use that browser nor do i have an air mouse atm so idk. i did it to get rid of the narrator stuff
[Fire TV General] JUSTINMARMER:
Well crap, I guess it's still broken then :(
[Fire TV General] ffburger1:
I've tried:

adb shell pm grant com.example.settest.settingstest android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

but when I open Launcher Hijack on my firestick it still says "Accessibility Service Disabled"

There's no error in command prompt for the adb shell and I installed the "Settings Test" profile. What am I doing wrong?
[Fire TV General] Flakie:
I had been struggling with this for days. then I followed the TechDoctorUK instructions video and it worked first time (Fire TV 4K).

https://www.techdoctoruk.com/tech_videos/%f0%9f%94%b4android-tv-launcher-on-firestick-easy-guide/

[Fire TV General] SweenWolf:
If you are using Firestick 4K then download this

https://github.com/sweenwolf/LauncherHijack/releases/download/4K.0.3/LH4K.0.3.apk

Or new version at

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82328281&postcount=225

Renamed to FireTV Settings

And instructions are https://github.com/sweenwolf/LauncherHijack/blob/master/HELP.md
[Fire TV General] Flakie:
Sorry for you. All I can say is I removed all the applications I had installed as I tried to get it to work following various guides and then rebooted my 4K. After that I installed and had no issues, but I followed the guide precisely, pausing it every time I had to do/install/set something.
[Fire TV General] JUSTINMARMER:
What is ice block? I've searched "ice block fire TV" and it doesn't appear to be like an actual thing so you got a link to this "compatible version of ice block"?

Edit:

Nevermind, I figured it out. Turns out you didn't know the name of the program you were using. It's not ice block, it's icebox.

After testing this does indeed freeze apps with no root but the missing cursor still isn't fixed.

The search continues.
[Fire TV General] SweenWolf:
I don't think your cursor is coming back, i tried everything and there was no cursor (resetting works).

You can use chrome or firefox. Chrome requires Mouse Toggle App by Fluxii to work whereas Firefox works without it.

With chrome you can also download which is disabled in most of the browsers.
[Fire TV General] JUSTINMARMER:
Yeah, I have an air mouse and tons of other browsers for various functions. Silk was just the best for porn lol.

FTVLaunchX

hey all,

I finally found time to look at the Silk bug and originally planned on fixing this in LauncherHijack but quickly realized that there is a ton of stuff in there which just doesn't make any sense on Fire TV devices so I started a new project called FTVLaunchX - please find the announcement thread here.

It fixes quite a few issues people had with LauncherHijack, especially the launcher "not staying in memory" (which never was the case, it's just that LauncherHijack didn't reliably work) as well as the missing cursor in Silk.

Ok, please reply at the other thread – oh, and enjoy!

I'm in a bit of a pickle here.

I have ran the update for emui via twrp

Then ran clean system os reset

In fastboot menu the Phone is unlicked but other one isnt.

OEM unlock inf grayed out says to contact to network which i am. Twrp is no longer installed and im unable to downgrade or even re-root the device.

Any ideas?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mrabcx:
Would have recommended to read the various threads about Emui 9 already posted here before you decided to upgrade. Currently there is no working twrp and no working root available for Emui 9. It is easy to brick the phone if you try to force install twrp and root it.

OEM unlock is now disabled by default on all Huawei phones running Pie to discourage rooting.

For the time being just use the phone as it is. If you really want to downgrade then there is guide here:

Is it possible to ensure that the StatusBar can hide automatically and then be recalled with a swype from top to bottom? For example, I installed the launcher Agama (very nice) and on the launcher this function is active... I find the status bar rather useless, and especially on some apps, like Google Maps, is very annoying.

[General Questions and Answers] creeve4:
I installed and used WhatsApp for the first time last night to contact a friend who I suspect may be upset with me. I am trying to decide if they blocked and then unblocked me in WhatsApp. Here is what happened:

I started a chat with them (I could see their profile, but they had no profile picture and no status).

A few minutes after sending the message, their profile picture appeared and their status changed.

About 15 minutes later they responded to my message.

Immediately after their response I sent three additional messages.

After a few minutes I noticed that my three additional messages were not delivered (only one check mark).

After another minute or two, their profile picture was again gone, I could not see their status, and I could not add them to a group chat (I got the message "couldn't add xyz" when creating the group).

After about another 30 minutes, I got a response in WhatsApp and I could again see their profile picture, but it had changed to a different picture.

The three messages I sent after their response were never delivered.

My question is, can I say 100% that they blocked me after the first message and then unblocked me before they sent their second? If not, what could have happened? I don't want to ask this person if they blocked me and potentially make them more upset with me if they didn't block me.

[General Questions and Answers] creeve4:
I posted here and then in a different forum and my second part was moved here making duplicate threads.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You have the wrong understanding of what "duplicate thread" is.

You "posted here and then in another forum", that is what made duplicate threads.

The second one being moved is not what created a duplicate, it was a duplicate because you posted it when it already existed in another area of XDA, moving the thread only changed its location. They didn't say that you created a duplicate thread in the same forum, they said that you created a duplicate thread because you have 2 threads discussing the same thing. You posted one thread here and then you posted another thread discussing the same thing in another part of XDA, this equals 2 threads, 2 threads discussing the same thing, which equals "duplicate".

And....

Yes, I would say they blocked you. If they want to talk to you, let THEM make the effort.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You have a few options. You could factory reset, then see if you get your OTA. You could also lock the bootloader, which wipes your device as well, then, yes, you will get normal OTA's. Or, you can adb side load the OTA zip from October, then November, then December to be up to date. Or, you can fastboot the factory images to get up to speed. Or, you can fastboot into twrp, then flash the OTA zips. And there ya go :cool:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BabelHuber:
Have you flashed TWRP? If so, you cannot update via OTA. This only works with the stock recovery.

You have to flash a full OTA via TWRP or flash the factory image with fastboot if you are using TWRP.

And if you don't use TWRP, you still can update manually. Why are you waiting for the automatic update in the first place?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] markokrstic0507:
I have unlocked bootloader, my phone is not rooted, when I try to update my phone tru settings and Sysrem update it starts and than stops (couldn't install update)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BabelHuber:
This has nothing to do with root, but with TWRP. Have you flashed it or not?

You can try to flash the boot.img again, too. Extract it from the factory image and flash it with fastboot. Of course this only helps if you have messed around with it.

If this doesn't work you can try a factory reset or flash the update manually. See https://developers.google.com/android/images for instructions.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] xXZaretXx:
Hello,

i got a really strange beahavior with my music playback.

If i restart my phone and open fast a music app and play something, i can lock my phone without the music stops.

If i start the music app later the music will immediately stop after the screen is locked.

The App don't stop, only the music ( like press the pause button)

( i have checked the permissionens , like autostart , background etc and the energy settings, clear cache/dalvik cache)

( and i think i have nothing changed or installed since)

This behavior concerns every music app on my phone.

The more confusing thing is: if i start my music in locked state with my bluetooth headset( press play button) and then unlock the phone, the music will pause again.

Does anybody know a solution ?

[Touch Cruise General] Diagorn:

[Touch Cruise General] ovidiaconescu:
On Vista you need Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 that you can download from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx. It comes in both x64 and x86 flavors.

You also need to run the Internet Sharing application on your phone. On my unbranded HTC Touch Cruise there was no link to that application in Start/Programs. What you have to do, is to go into the Windows folder and run the IntShrUi.exe.

I'm not quite sure, but I think that it automatically creates a link for you in your Programs folder (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\). If it doesn't, you can do that yourself. The link should also be in the windows folder (IntShrUi.lnk) and you can just copy that manually to your Programs folder.
