Thanks letthebeatrock. I'd never tried other players since downloading/installing MXPlayer. I just grabbed and installed KMPlayer to check it out. I'm quite happy that it doesn't have any ads and seems to have a similar set of features to MXPlayer. I'll run it for a while and see if it fulfills my needs, but so far it looks like a keeper. :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MrMrMr111:
For Amazon apps do you have to use the original apps? As above I can’t get Prime video to install from Play store.

Is it worth me factory reset and start again with v9.1? I haven’t done much was just trying it really. Not sure what v9.1 adds

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] aghoshhajra:
I just picked up an HD10 today. I was wondering if this will work on the newest version of the OS (7.3.1.6)? I was charging it before using it, and it seems like it updated itself while it was charging. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] lisa3333:
HELP NEEDED -- I installed both the Nova Launcher and Microsoft launcher.

How can I now UNINSTALL the Nova Launcher?

Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MrMrMr111:
So how do I get Prime to work please? Was just thinking of factory reset for v9.1 as well

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Go ahead and install 9.1, it seems completely compatible. Hook up your Fire HD and then select Manage Everything Amazon. Then select Manual under Restore Everything Amazon. Tick the box next to Amazon Prime Video. It should now work.

This error is the result of more then one ADB enabled devices being connected at the same time. When more then one device is present the Toolbox is unsure of which device is your tablet and to avoid command execution on the wrong device the Toolbox will inform you of multiple devices and will exit.

To correct the issue, please unplug all other devices connected to your computer that have ADB enabled and then restart the Toolbox. Please also make sure no Android emulations are running, such as Bluestacks. If you need further help please do let me know and best of luck! :fingers-crossed:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Unfortunately, you do have to use the Amazon apps already installed. :(

For whatever reason, Amazon decided to install what I call 'hybrid' apps onto the tablets. These "hybrid" apps only run on the tablets and will not work on any other devices (that aren't from Amazon). Because these apps are already installed (and include extra code under the hood), the Play Store versions will not work and cannot be installed due to conflicting packages (and if they are the apps will crash). I hope this somewhat makes sense!

As for V9.1, I forgot to post an update post about what V9.1 includes. I'll get on that ASAP! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, not exactly sure to be honest... may require a re-write of System UI?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Open the Toolbox and execute the ADB Shell tool. Once in the shell type (or paste) the following command to uninstall Nova Launcher:

pm uninstall com.teslacoilsw.launcher

That should do the trick! Best of luck! :fingers-crossed:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Exactly, you are correct my good sir! :good::D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
It should work my friend. Let me know if you come across any issues and hope you enjoy the Toolbox and what it has to offer! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hey, glad you are enjoying the Toolbox! Unfortunately, tap to wake couldn't be activate through any means I could think of. Sorry my friend... :(

[UPDATE] Fire Toolbox V9.1 is Released!

How's it going guys?

I hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far, and you are staying happy and healthy!

I just realized that I forgot to put up a post regarding the update for V9.1. Anyways, V9.1 was primarily focused around bug fixes, and improving the user experience. So, let's take a look at some of the changes in V9.1.

Toolbox Updater

The Toolbox Updater is finally ready to be used. In the last couple of updates I've realized that the updater wasn't where I wanted it to be as of yet. It had some issues that was blindly looked past when it was first deployed in V8.2. So, in this update I decided to go all out and fix these issues, while adding in the changelog for the update directly in the updater itself. This way additional checks to the Toolbox won't be needed to check if the Toolbox was updated or not, and display the changelog. So, I feel like its finally ready and will hopefully be utilized as intended.​

System Backup and Timed-Out Backups

So it seems that before this update, folks were experiencing issues with the backups timing out and 0kb files being produced. To avoid further confusion, V9.1 now addresses failed backups and informs the user when they occur. This should help negate confusion, and production of 0kb backups. So, Instead of keeping these empty files, they will be deleted and the mechanism for automatically confirming backups will be disabled for the next backup process. That way the backup will be triggered by the user instead of cancelling the backup like before.​

UI Consistancy and Improvements

In an effort to keep up with UI consistency... the loading animation has been added to almost all tools. This animation plays when a task is currently running. It helps inform the user that something is still going on behind the scenes and the Toolbox isn't frozen. For awhile now the animation has been present in only a few select tools, and as of this update you will find this wonderful animation in almost every tool!​

If you are interested in everything V9.1 has to offer feel free to read the changelog below for more information!

If you haven't already downloaded V9.1 what are you waiting for? Head on over to the Downloads section in the OP!

As we come to the end of this post I'd like to take a moment and THANK YOU ALL for the amazing support you've shown not just to me... but each other! It's been amazing to see the interaction and the helpful nature of everyone and It just brings a smile to my face! Again, thank you guys for everything, and also THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GENEROUS DONATIONS! At this rate, I'm gonna start hating coffee after drinking it so much! LOL! :p

This community is just the best! I really appreciate EVERYTHING and EVERYONE! Stay safe and healthy out there guys! :D

Well, that's all I've got for now. Until next time guys! Peace! :D

Fire Toolbox: Hangs up when trying to Push File to Device

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the amazing toolbox for managing the Fire Tablets. I have twelve Fire HD tablets (8th Generation) that I use running Fully Kiosk in a healthcare application.

I often have troubles when pushing a file to the device using the Push/Pull feature. Often it just spins endlessly. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks again, I have donated to your coffee fund and encourage everyone to do the same! Great work.

Sincerely,

Doug.

Since installing this on my Fire HD 8 7th gen, Netflix isn't compatible with my device anymore. Doesn't even come up in search results on play store. I also disabled amazon services and installed nova launcher but it said something about needing to installlauncher hijack for it to work. When I press home button the fire launcher kicks it but then nova takes over a few seconds later. Not a big issue but is that normal behaviour?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] nikuk:
Sincerely, thank you. Donated. Truly appreciate it.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] garylawwd:
You need to do a proper bug report before anyone is able to help. Without giving any information whatsoever only "the buttons don't work and I have to restart to fix" nobody will be able to help you out.

What tablet do you have? What generation, what size tablet and what version of fire os is it running?

Was this issue happening from the start or did it just happen over continuous use?

Do you have some mods installed like from this toolbox and if yes does the problem still happen without the mods?

Have you done anything to try solve this like a factory reset or anything?

Have you tried to see what's going on through ADB logcat when you have this issue?

On searching the thread it appears you are the only one with the issue thus far, I think someone else may have had an issue but deleted their comment (very silly to delete comments that may help others but what can you do)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] geevai:
Tablet keeps shutting down

I installed the toolkit on my kid's Gen 10 Fire Kids HD8 tablet and it periodically shuts down or reboots during sleep, sometimes immediately after the display turns off. I've tweaked with the settings some and just reset to factory and still having the same issue. Any ideas?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] leif2:
No netflix from playstore?

I noticed the Netflix app on my fire tablet from the Amazon app store doesn't have fast play options available and the Netflix app isn't available from the Play Store. No way to watch Netflix in fast mode on fire tablet?

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Do you know if fast mode play modes Will work if I install the Netflix from the link you provide after enabling installation from unknown source?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] dhutch85:
Thanks for the help. I'll give the side loading a go but I'm sure earlier versions of this toolbox installed a version of google services that made Netflix compatible with Fire tablets as I was able to download it and use a vpn to bypass geo-restrictions. I've noticed it has installed version 22.3.15-21 of play store when there are new versions available. Perhaps I will need to sideload a more compatible version (either older or newer).

With regards to the launcher hijack I've just done a factory reset to try it again in case I missed something.

This time I went with downgrade fire launcher as this doesn't require hijack but I have to manually run nova on each boot. The only other option I have involves using laucher hijack which means fire launcher starts on boot then the nova takes over. When I press home button there is a delay before nova takes over the fire launcher. I can live with it and is better than having to manually run it each time.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] leif2:
Please let me know if you get newer Netflix working that supports fast play options I'd much appreciate it
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] enozten:
This is so awesome, thank you. I just got a Fire HD 8+ and everything is working except for the "manage accounts" button. It doesn't do anything, but I was able to add accounts. Also, neither Google or Amazon calendar seems to be working.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] RiggsIsMoney:
Did you ever figure this out? Looks like the toolbox wallpapers just over write themselves and seems like you can't have a different wallpaper for Homescreen and Lockscreen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ursulavasey:
No I didn't, unfortunately. However, I have noticed that the tool has been updated and there is a section relating to disabling the lockscreen ads. That may be the solution to our problem.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Bourbon&Brews:
Contact Sync & Search

First of all, my thanks for your work on an awesome tool!

I've searched the thread but haven't been able to find a solution for two items: Contact Sync & changing the search provider in Nova launcher.

No matter what I do, my contacts won't sync. When I try to manually sync, I get a message the I need to enable the "microphone" in Google Play Services. I've enable it but when I try to manually sync contacts again, I get the same message notifying me that I need to enable access to SMS in Google Play Services. When I enter the "Permissions" section, "SMS" is already enabled. I've tried disabling and reenabling "SMS" but the results are the same. I ended up exporting my contacts from my Google account and manually importing them. This works, but as I update my contacts frequently, not ideal.

Regarding search, when I use the home screen search bar in Nova Launcher the results displayed are from Bing. I've tried changing the search provider within Nova Launcher, neither "Google App" nor "Google App Overlay" change the search provider. I've also reenabled Silk and changed the provider within the browser on the off chance this would fix the problem, but it did not.

I'd appreciate suggestion from anyone that might be able to point me in the right direction.

Thank you!

[MENTION=8560782]Datastream33[/MENTION] First of all I wanna thank you again for all the great work. I´ve been offline from XDA for some months and it is great so see, how many people are working here Hand-in-Hand!

My Tablets still running without Problems but I love to read all the news.

In this moment I am laughing. I installed the newest Nova Launcher on my HD10(2019) via Toolbox 9.1 :good::laugh:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ursulavasey:
I just updated the app and tried to change the lockscreen and homescreen, using the Nova Launcher. It wouldn't change the lockscreen, so I am still in the same situation; where my lockscreen and homescreen are the same.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Arkwelder:
Thank you

Just wanted to express my gratitude for all your hard work. I recently purchased a Fire 7 9th Gen and am enjoying all the features your toolbox brings. I did run into a couple of small issues while setting my new tablet up. First, the Music and Newstand won't disable despite multiple attempts. Also, disabling the navigation bar created a problem where part of the display was cut off. I ended up re-enabling and hiding it, which works fine, but I thought I should report it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Arkwelder:
Addendum

Sorry. I don't see the option to edit my post. I just wanted to add a few other minor issues I ran into:

After I installing the Disney+ hybrid app, upon opening, it tries to access the Amazon Appstore and then gives me "connection failed" error (I disabled the Amazon Appstore using your toolkit as you may have guessed). Disney+ is still functional, so just a minor issue.

Otherwise, I am having the same lockscreen/wallpaper issue that other people have run into. I used Nova Launcher to set a home screen wallpaper, and it set it as my lockscreen as well. Not a big problem, by any means, but I thought I would note it.

Thanks again for all your hard work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] enozten:
I think the answer is no, but does anybody know a way to disable the navigation bar and instead use Android Q gestures? (like going back by swiping from the side of the screen)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] joeldf:
Not possible. The latest Fire OS is based on Pie. Android Q gestures just don't exist for it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] 9ZJZRC2N:
pure gratitude

created an acct just to thank @Datastream33 for this awesome tool! did some of this manually a few years ago, now it's just click'ity-click! so easy...

also tried to drop a cash tip onto your listed Paypal email address, and it bounced.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, the easiest way is to download a gesture app that can do what you want. Here are a few of my favorites! (in no particular order)

XDA Navigation Gestures

Fluid Navigation Gestures

They require ADB in order to hide the navigation bar. However, here's a little tip! Open the Toolbox and execute the Modify System settings tool, and from here you can hide the navigation bar! Quick and easy! ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hey, that's what's up my friend! You were willing to create an account just to say thanks? I really appreciate that extra mile you were willing to go to just to show appreciation! Thank you so much my friend! Really does mean a lot! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Chariblaze:
Hi, good job with the tool, it's pretty comprehensive. Good UI too.

Got a few notes -- My device is a Fire HD 8 2020 (onyx):

1. Custom Launcher: The Evie Launcher version installed from Fire Toolbox (2.18.8-11) crashes when started. If I install it from the Play Store it works fine (2.14.8-3). Testing the versions from APKMirror -- Working: nodpi, 160dpi (-2), 320dpi (-6); Crashing: 420dpi (-9), 480dpi (-10), 640dpi (-12).

2. Custom Launcher: I don't have a "Revert to Amazon Launcher" option, if it's supposed to be there. The instructions from this Android Police article worked fine. | Edit: Ah, it's in Manage Everything Amazon, ok.

3. Removing a Google account: "Manage Accounts" didn't do anything, as warned (settings app didn't start/crash, just nothing changed on the screen). I tried the suggestion from the FAQ to remove the device from account settings on google.com, but I just got a notification to sign back in, it seems I still couldn't remove it. Uninstalling/reinstalling Play Services worked in the end. It didn't seem to disrupt much, is it a viable recommendation for others?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] CommieColin:
Hey dude, not sure if this helps, but as far as contacts sync goes, you need to install this specific APK https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts-sync/google-contacts-sync-5-1-1-1965118-release/google-contacts-sync-5-1-1-1965118-android-apk-download/ - the newer versions will not work, I've tested all of them myself. This is the only one that will get contacts sync working.

As far as search goes, you need to disable the universal search app on your Fire Tablet, though this does cause other issues related to search. In the end, I switched my Nova Launcher settings to Nova Search, which has a web option and will search through Google/your default web browser. Hope this helps!

Has anyone noticed their microphone permissions reset for the Google app after a reboot? Voice search (not Google Assistant) works just fine, but if I reboot the tablet I'm prompted to enable microphone permissions again. The same thing happens for Google Play Services - each time I open my contacts app, I receive a notification telling me I need to enable microphone permissions for Google Play Services or else contacts will not work properly. Once I do this it works fine, but it's annoying having to do it after each reboot and it seems to apply only to the microphone permission; all other granted permissions stay the same.

Any advice on this?

amazon fire toolbox help

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this or if this thread is still going but im having trouble using the toolbox with my Fire 7 HD tablet.

When i try to use the tool on my tablet i am met with the following error message on my PC;

ERROR: One of more ADB enabled devices are connected.

please remove all devices except a supported Amazon Fire

Tablet.

PLUGGED IN DEVICES:

G0W0X8089414FJ70 device

emulator-5580 offline​

Can anyone help me with this?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Redeye Dog:
Thanks for your work. I removed all Amazon apps using the automatic function, then restored Prime Video, since that's the only app I care about. However, it doesn't work now. I cannot install the Google Play version. It errors. The Amazon version doesn't spawn. So I restored the Amazon Appstore in hopes it needed something, but now I can no longer register the tablet. It just hangs. Ideas anyone?

EDIT: I got it to work. What I ended up having to do is use the automatic restore option, register my device, then use the manual disable function of apps and left App store, Prime, Shopping, couple others that I can tolerate and removed everything else manually. That worked for me, anyway. I'm happy.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hello friend,

This message is informing you that multiple ADB devices are connected. When multiple devices are connected the Toolbox becomes confused and doesn't know what device to send the commands to so instead the Toolbox will close out and will continue to do so until the other ADB enabled devices are disconnected. In this case, the "emulator-5580" is causing the multiple devices error. As the name suggests it is likely an emulator that is running in the background.

My guess would be Bluestacks? Try killing ANY android emulator (Android Studio included) that is running and then try opening the Toolbox with your tablet plugged in and see if that resolves the issue. You could also try running this command to kill the emulator:

adb -s emulator-5580 emu kill

or

adb kill-server

I have managed to use the Toolbox but I chose Lawnchair launcher and I installed it after from the Play Store. I'm having a few issues. It does load with the launcher but every now and then it still shows the default Amazon launcher. If I click home, it'll revert back to Lawnchair. But it stutters, as if it doesn't know which launcher to launch with.

Also, and it might be a separate issue with the tablet, but does anyone's device get stuck in loading mode (with Fire logo) when it's in standby? I had warranty and they sent me a replacement as I thought it was a fault with the tablet. It's still happening however and I don't know if it is coz of the Toolbox.

Many thanks.

On my fire tablet 8, at the navigation bar, the square button works. The other two are unresponsable, restart and deactivating or activating Amazon apps is not changing this anything.

What could be the problem?

I am not sure that it is related to your toolbox, but I changed nothing. Maybe the tablet installed a few updates.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
You may need to perform a factory rest in order to fix the navigation bar. :(

Have you tried the Automatic Restore Everything Amazon subtool to see if that fixes things?
