[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
[UPDATE]Amazon Fire Toolbox V7.1

What's up guys? I hope everyone is doing well this fine night (or day depending on when you are reading this).

Being released tonight we have a brand new update to the Toolbox that includes bug fixes, tool enhancements, subtool additions, and performance enhancements.

Alright, first off let's talk about the UI. In this update you will notice a few things have changed when it comes to the user interface. In the previous versions of the Toolbox you may have noticed that the splash screen didn't match the Toolbox's theme and it seemed out of place... well this has been addressed and should now match the current theme along with providing information about the build date. Now let's switch over to the Welcome Screen. First off, you may be asking... "What is the Welcome Screen?" and the answer to that question is... its essentially the first thing you see when you open the Toolbox for the first time. It provides the changelog so you can see exactly what has changed, and includes a new subtool that has been requested by a few of you. Installation Management. This subtool detects if you have older versions of the Toolbox installed and presents you with the ability to remove those installations automatically. Pretty cool huh?

Returning from Batch Toolbox we have TBShell. This nifty add-on allows you to have more control over the Toolbox without having to have the Toolbox open. This little guy so far has the ability to restore the default settings and can even restart ADB which can help solve some issues with the toolbox hanging. More functions are to come in later updates. To see a list of supported commands open TBShell and type "help" and press enter.

Custom Launchers. In this update we also have a subtool that belongs to the 7th gen and below families. The subtool "Downgrade Fire Launcher" presents the ability to downgrade Fire Launcher to a previous version and allows the user to launch a third-party launcher in Fire Launcher's place. While this method isn't perfect and can sometimes take a few seconds it still is a much more reliable method as it will not take longer then 5 seconds (like the Launcher Hijack method does). Then only downside is it must be applied after every shutdown or reboot.

In regards to Device Detection the issue with the Toolbox not displaying the "No Device Detected" window correct has been fixed. In addition, Authorization Detection is now working as intended and the UI has been overhauled. along with these changes the Toolbox also has the ability to detect when the device has been unplugged and will close the Toolbox when the device disconnects. Let me know if you guys would like the ability for the Toolbox to launch when the device is plugged in.

There is more to this update then list above. If you are interested in everything that this update offers please take a look at the changelog below for more information.

NOTE: When you first start the Toolbox it will appear to be frozen and unresponsive. This is due to the Toolbox setting up the environment and starting ADB for the first time. As a result, please do NOT close out of the Toolbox. It should be responsive again in the next 10 seconds. Please also keep in mind that first startup is the only time this should occur. Thank you for your understanding.

If you are ready to download the V7.1 update head on over and visit the Downloads section of the OP, or use the Toolbox's built-in updater!

I'd also like to inform you guys that the "Remove User" subtool for the User Management tool may not be working at this time. I'm currently testing a bunch of things and reworking the tool. In addition, I'm unable to restore the functionality at this time as I somehow I messed up the code and I'm looking into it. However, users can still be removed from the tablet itself if needed.

I want to take the time to just thank you guys for being so supportive of each other and being patient with me. I know I'm not the best at responding in a timely manor and I want to apologize. Again, thank you everyone for being so friendly and understanding!

Well, that's all I got for now. Until next time guys, I'll catch you later! :D
