2018 HD 8, did the remove lockscreen ads. went through its process. said sucess. nothing changed, and nothing in the downloads folder
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
This tool is designed to install Automate, push Amazon Lockscreen Ads Remover V4.5 to tablet, and install all permissions required to run the script. Now, to get it all set up and working you need to enter Automate and open the settings. From here you are looking for an option that's titled "Run on system startup" make sure you enable this option. Now, for installing the adblocker you can import it into Automate (Flow is found on your internal storage or sdcard) Or you can download the script from the automate community. Refer to this forum if you need assistance (skip steps 1-5 because they have already been done automatically by the toolbox). Sorry I can't write up a detailed post, I'm at a family gathering at the moment. Just let me know if you need further assistance.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] newfires:
Great tool! However, after "removing everything Amazon", it seems to have also removed parental controls which screws up some things. I get "the requested action is not permitted. Check parental controls settings and retry" when I try to download offline translation functionality in Google Translate. When I go to the the tablets settings>parental controls, it won't open. Also seems to not allow install of Amazon related apps like kindle and prime video.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
It's kind of annoying right? So, whats happening is Its coded to remove Parental Controls but I've just discovered it isn't able to because Parental Controls is a Device Administrator which you can't uninstall even with ADB without deactivating it first. As a result, I will update the tool so it doesn't remove anything related to parental controls until we can find a way to disable it. However, chances are kind of slim. I don't think its possible without root but we will see. I'm also thinking about a restore option for the "Remove Everything Amazon" tool that returns the amazon system apps so you don't have to do a factory reset. :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jjta:
Pls let us know when it's updated I would love to remove amazon bloat and free up some space
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ashaman25:
Thanks for this tool! It worked a treat :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Sertralina:
question, if i remove everything amazon-related, can i still install kindle app from play store,? i tried this with a previous tool and had no succes, it would fail to install kindle from play store, i had to factory reset back.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Of course :D

I'm not sure how long its going to take. Hopefully, its pretty quick! But, we will see!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
AWESOME! So happy everything was satisfactory!

That makes me extremely happy to hear! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmmm, I'm not sure about this. I can test it at home and let you know how it goes if you would like. However, it would be a few hours from now if your interested.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] shonkin:
Will this work on a Kindle Fire 10" Gen 5 version? I've already hacked my wife's 2017 using another more complex path to doing so, but a friend just asked me to hack his Gen 5 10" and I'd love to do it as easily as this. However, a bit nervous if this doesn't allow it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] shonkin:
I think I answered my own question. Using a windows 10 computer, I connected the 10" Fire Gen 5... ran the program... and it continually crashed after initially finding the kindle. I never got the menu with the options. And where does this program unpack itself to once the EXE zip is run?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] klausb65:
Quick question, is there already a new version around?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I believe this may be a bug in the tablet detect section of the code. I know it can read Hd10 (2017), hd8 (2017), and hd (2018) without error. I'm not sure what's going on but I will look into it. Oh and also, a new version of the tool is coming soon!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I'm currently working on V2.0 as we speak. More information on that soon! Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Rortiz2:
Wow! Very nice! I will try it!

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
hope you like it! let me know how it goes! thanks, Rortiz! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
It isn't called Fire Launcher directly. Amazon has renamed it to "Launcher" in an attempt to stop people from removing it. Keep in mind that the apps WILL remain in the app list no matter what because the tablet still "thinks" they are installed. If you are looking for the package name I believe it is:

com.amazon.paladin

You can also download the latest version of Launcher Hijack through this link: V4.0.2.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Thank you! In addition, I'm glad you were able to use all the tools in the toolbox without issues! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hi, just checking up on you. Are you still having troubles?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Alright guys, now that everything is working and stable I think it's time to do a video on the toolbox and showcase what each feature does and how to use it. It will probably be up tomorrow.

P.S. Still looking for a system app removal process!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] lifegap:
Please share the 2016 support version. Its hardware is similar to 2017 and even 2018. I will test and report. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DB126:
Highly unlikely; probably cleaning up sloppy nomenclature. Please don't go down the delusional path that portrays Amazon taking proactive steps to thwart the miniscule faction of the user base that attempts this type of mod.

Because they are...just 'deactivated'. Hate when facts get in the way of a good story. :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] bitfed:
You haven't had any issues with the parental controls? I've never used them, and don't ever plan too, but I can no longer access the settings.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Oco:
My case, tool recognizes 2016 as 2018 tablet showing menu limited in features as described in welcome message after connect.

Count with me too
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Before support can be added is it alright if I ask you two for some help? Can you please let me know what chipset the tablets you have run off of? Can I also have you find out the device name so I can filter the devices?

Please open a command prompt and type the following commands with the tablet plugged in and ADB enabled (feel free to copy and paste):

adb shell getprop ro.mediatek.platform>C:\users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\Chipset.txt
adb shell getprop ro.product.device>C:\users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\DeviceName.txt

Once the codes above are executed you should find 2 new files on your desktop called: Chipset.txt, and DeviceName.txt.

Could I have you upload these files and share them with me in a PM, or some sort of file sharing service? or maybe copy and paste the contents from the file to a post on this forum? thank you!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Working also on a workaround for the virus detection issue. I'm thinking about moving from a self-extractor to an installer. I'll update you all as things progress.

Thank you! I appreciate you, and [MENTION=4878722]lifegap[/MENTION] for being so awesome as to help me out! thank you guys! Now, let's get support for 2016 models! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Alright guys! Fire Toolbox 2.1 has just been released!

Methods on installing the new update:

Method 1:

To download V2.1 go to the first page of the forum and click on one of the links for V2.1, download it, then open it. You will notice it uses an installer instead of an self-extractor (Which hopefully prevents it from unfairly being marked as a virus). Follow the steps on the installer and there you go! you now have V2.1 of the Toolbox.

Method 2:

Open Amazon Fire Toolbox V2.0 and head on over to the settings. Once there click on the "Updates" page. Then check for updates. The Toolbox will proceed to download V2.1 and move it to your desktop. Look for it on the desktop, and run it. Follow the instructions in the installer and run it. Once it finishes the Toolbox will start!

Changelog:

1. Added support for Amazon Fire HD8 (2016) models.

2. Improved tablet detection code.

3. Moved away from SFX (Self-Extracting Archive) to an installer to prevent the toolbox from unfairly being marked as a virus.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with this update. Thanks :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] bitfed:
Is there a trick to changing the backgrounds in NovaLauncher after removing all Amazon apps? I get an error about Parental Controls when I try to.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Oco:
Thanks, Remover worked in 2016 version. Just one problem with wallpaper changer, despite reinstall it, enable/disable, etc its not working and a message in wallpaper says "not set correctly", browser not showing any folder to choose. Any way to uninstall and return to default amazon set?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] lifegap:
Thanks. It works for my 2016 Fire HD8. My device is ads-free so I do not have chance to use this app function. Install Google and Youtube properly. Wish that the tool can root it to install audio mod to get bigger and better sound.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] KSP1234:
Before or after applying Toolbox on my tablet is impossible set default app for opening different filetypes. Each time asking. Anyone have same problem or how it can be fixed ?

Is need to apply v2.1 toolbox after 2.0 for Fire HD 10 2017 ? (Probably no, according version log, but log can be short in description)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
No, you don't necessarily need to update to V2.1 if you are on V2.0. Nothing really has been changed except for 2016 model support and a few other tweaks. Now, about the file type I'm not sure what issue you are having.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
AWESOME this is so cool to hear! I can't believe everything worked! :victory: Thank you SO MUCH for teasting and reporting back [MENTION=4878722]lifegap[/MENTION]! You are freaking AMAZING my friend! :highfive:

Now about the root thing... I hope to one day support rooting tablets directly from the toolbox itself but I think it might be awhile. Anyways, again thank you so much and please good sir, please have a fantastic night! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
THANK YOU for testing and reporting back! I'm just SO GLAD you guys were willing to test it for us! :D

So, you had issues with the wallpaper changer? Hmm, It seems a lot of people are having this issue as well. I can't remember if an accessibility service is required for the wallpaper change app or not. I would guess it is because of how it works but again I'm not too sure. Try going into settings and then find accessibility, and see if something for WallChanger is needed to be enabled.

Oh also, if you want to re-install all Amazon apps open the toolbox, from the list of tools select "Remove Everything Amazon". Then select "Restore Everything Amazon", and then click on "Yes". The toolbox will then restore ALL Amazon apps back onto the tablet. In addition, I believe you can download and install ES file Manager and it will allow you to choose files and folders using ES.

I just want to say THANK YOU again for your AMAZING help my good friend! YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yes sir, you are indeed correct. You are now looking for "USB Debugging" instead. By the way, how did it go?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
It probably just needs to be updated. I will make sure to update the APK very soon. Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Do you think the Netflix app needs to be updated or is a downgrade in order? Haven't been able to test it myself yet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Oh, ok. Thanks for the information! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I don't think you did miss anything. I'm guessing the Netflix needs to be updated or downgraded based off information provided by a few other users.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] KoKoMaster:
I don't know if this has been discussed before or if this is an appropriate thread to post this, if not sorry and I guess delete..but I had trouble disabling lock screen ads using this tool and importing through automate without downloading directly through the app. Then I also didn't like the idea of having to keep a separate app running to keep ads off so I decided to try a hunch I had.

I bought a recent HD8 a few weeks ago and decided to skip the initial login/registration process when I first turned the tablet on. I then went I to settings and prepped the tablet for the play store right away before I even attempted to log into the Amazon shopping app. I think I even disabled most Amazon apps using this tool before I logged in. Through the whole process I never saw a lock screen ad on the tablet, even after I logged into the Amazon app. At the time I thought maybe I lucked out and was sent a version without ads/special offers. I was happy but the blurry text I came across often turned me off and I got an HD10 yesterday for the higher resolution.

When I got the HD10, I logged in on the first start and I got ads on the lockscreen. I tried this tool and I couldn't import the flow from sd card so I decided to restore the tablet back to stock and skip the initial login like I did on the HD8. I went through the whole process of adding play store and nova launcher like I did with the HD8 before logging into the Amazon app again and I once again never saw a lock screen ad. I updated the tablet to current software and restarted multiple times and the lock screen ads never showed up. I did have to disable the Amazon launcher again after the tablet updated, but I believe that's to be expected for now.

So from what I can tell, simply not performing the initial registration might be all that is needed to avoid lock screen ads. Is this just a fluke? Or is this a temporary solution that is already known? Just thought I would share in case anyone wants to try to replicate if it's not already known.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DB126:
That has been my experience over several generations of Fire tablets as I never register Amazon gizmos except those that interact with other Amazon products and services. However, I also root FireOS fairly early and disable apps and services that consume excessive (operative word) resources which usually includes the ad engine. So I can't speak to durability. It does seem to work for a few weeks which is the typical timeframe before rooting (I like to observe behaviors a bit before breaking out the hammer).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Hamsloth:
is there a way to get rid of all this amazon app bloatware?

i bought an 8 gig one .. when i looked inside.. its 5g ... then when i looked again after it started updating the amazon apps which i cant stop.. it went to 2g left..
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Davy49:
Hi DB126,

I was curious concerning one specific line in your reply, " However, I also root FireOS fairly early ". I'm currently using a fire 7 tablet (2019 edition), unless I have misunderstood something, I didn't these tablets could be rooted as of yet. Could you please advise me concerning this, the great thing is..even without rooting this toolbox really serves a great purpose.

Thanks,

David
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] KoKoMaster:
Which apps and services do you disable to stop the tablets from Auto updating? I have auto update disabled through the developer menu and tried through the toolbox but neither seemed to work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DB126:
In my experience you can't definitively stop OTA updates w/o renaming DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk which requires root. A few members may take exception to that statement (look for responses) and every Tom, **** & Harry have their own methods based on personal experience over the past 12 seconds. While there might be another valid answer I'll stick with the time tested method since FireOS v3.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] trav06:
I'm going to use this on a new HD10 tonight. If I remove everything Amazon and install Play store and then took a system update from Amazon in the future would there be issues, or would I have to revert all of those changes first?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
So far, there are issues with Launcher Hijack and the introduced lag switching to home, and apps randomly coming back but besides these issues everything else should work as intended. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] k8108:
I have 3 Fire hd8 tablets and love using the toolbox with them! However, I saw that there was a new update to 6.5, so I downloaded it, uninstalled 6.4 and went to run 6.5. Avast says it has malware and won't let me install it. I tried to run 6.4 again, which installed just fine a few weeks ago. Now Avast won't let me run it, either, saying it is malware.

Anyway around this?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I'm going to upload V6.5 as a zip file. Please be patient with me as I'm not around my PC at the moment. But when I am I will update it and let you know. :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] luniz7:
You can set an exception for the toolbox.exe in avast that will allow it to run.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MysticDaedra:
Is this still working? Seems waaaaay easier/simpler than doing it the linux way with all the bash scripts etc. Ugh. Will try this later tonight with my brand new HD 8 (2018).

Thanks,

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] larryxw:
UPDATE: I bought the Fire HD 10 this week (it was on sale!). I had a bit more success with this device. I ran the Toolbox and it opened to the main menu. But under "Device" it says SAFE MODE rather than the actual device that I have plugged in. So none of the operations ran on the device. What can I do in this case to troubleshoot?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DB126:
Depends on what you want to accomplish. If you do not have a specific goal in mind there is little point in rooting which involves time, effort and a certain degree of risk.
