[UPDATE]Amazon Fire Toolbox V8.0 Released!

Another Night, a New Update!

What's going on guys? I hope everyone is having a fantastic night so far!

This update is a very important one as it brings performance improvements, bug fixes, UI changes, and driver improvements.

Firstly, let's talk about the new tool that was added in tonight's update. The Custom Sounds tool is a tool designed to change the sounds that play when you perform certain actions on your tablet. This feature was always something I enjoyed on the various custom roms I've had over the years and I'm ecstatic to be able to bring that customization to the Fire Tablets and the best part is... you don't need root!

Secondly, I'd like to highlight 2 new additions that I feel may help clear up some confusion with the Toolbox's UI. Let's start with the Welcome Tour. When you first boot up the Toolbox and it detects your device successfully it will ask if you'd like to view a quick tour, in this tour you will be presented with an explanation and video that will help clear up some confusion with some of the Toolbox's UI. Next, let's talk Tool Identification! In previous versions of the Toolbox there have been reports from some users who suggested adding an easier way to inform the user of what a tool does without actually having to execute it. Your wish is my command, all you need to do is hover over a tool's execution button and below the buttons at the bottom right is a brief description of what the tool does!

Alright, let's move on to the next topic... Settings! Alright, so as you may have noticed when you change a setting in the Toolbox it only applies to that installation and changes don't apply to newer versions. This for me became very repetitive having to change the settings back to the way I liked it every single time, so in this update... the Toolbox now stores settings globally which means any version of the Toolbox after V8.0 will adopt any changes you've made to the settings. Awesome, right?

Also in this update, the ability to remove Google Accounts has finally been added as a subtool to the Modify System Settings tool. However, I'm not too sure how well this works on generations 7 and below simply because when attempted on my device it would just crash settings. Please let me know if this feature works or not on your device. If it doesn't I'd recommend uninstalling Play Services and re-installing to remove Google Accounts if needed.

In addition, for those of you who own a 7th generation (or lower) should see vast improvements to the Toolbox's speed and tool execution.

Hey, that's not it! If you guys are interested in everything this update has to offer please feel free to read the changelog for this update:
