I'm new here but I used Fire Toolbox before.... Can't install a custom launcher on my Amazon Fire HD 10 running Fire OS 7.3.2.2, I'm having this error
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Most would consider that a blessing! No, the lockscreen ad removal won't affect ads anywhere else, especially in the browser. You could have an ad blocking extension installed (like Ublock Origin), or you could be using either an ad blocking DNS (like Alternate DNS) or have a VPN type DNS block list installed (like DNS66). Nothing else comes to mind that would cause this. Do your apps display ads normally or is it just your browser? If it's just your browser, try installing another like Firefox or Safari without any extensions to see if you get ads there. If so, then have a good look at your Chrome settings. I tend to think the problem lies there.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Hi, and welcome to XDA!

Unfortunately, you have the latest firmware on your tablet and that won't allow the current replacement method for the launcher. What you can do is go to the Play Store and install the launcher of your choice. Then you can install a 3rd-party navbar replacement to replace your home button with a button to launch your chosen launcher. And finally, use Toolbox to hide the current navbar.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Normand609:
any suggestions for a third-party navbar?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
You might try Pie Control from the playstore. See @dcooterfrog's post.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mochamoo:
Fresh install of Chrome, no extensions. Downloaded just to test. Apps don't displays ads either. Haven't done much in the way of customizing other than recommended Amazon app debloat. It's a puzzle.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Hmm... That's a surprise. I'm assuming you have other devices connected to your WiFi and that they receive the US RDA of ads. It has to be either the DNS settings or a PieHole or some VPN with ad blocking. I can think of nothing else.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mochamoo:
Yes all other devices get ads as expected. Will keep thinking.... Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings!

Did you happen to change the DNS Resolver using the Modify System Settings tool to Adguard? If so, that could be the reason for ads not appearing?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mochamoo:
No but am looking at the DNS settings. Fires say 192.168.1.1. router fields are blank. I hate to mess with those since all else works ok. Fire not accepting changes you those fields. SAVE stays grayed out. This is getting above my pay grade. ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mochamoo:
It appears to be one rogue app. I killed it and ads work elsewhere as expected. It wants to serve it's own ads I think and something on the fire isn't allowing it to. So I am off in to that rabbit hole next.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I forgot about that!! I've never seen anyone work so hard to GET ads.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jeylo01_:
But its more interesting if you have an option to choose whatever Launcher you want😅
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
You do. You just don't have the option to have your hand held while browsing through the app store to choose one.😨
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MECH_TECH:
I have a Fire HD 10 (2021) and setup using the Tool Box, works great. This maybe OT a bit but I have been searching for information about the SD card notification problem and thought there maybe someone here that knows about this. Whenever waking or rebooting my device I get a notification that my SD card has been removed. It was installed when i purchased my tablet and formatted in the tablet as internal storage. I have moved a few Apps to it and store most things to it. The desktop icons are greyed out for a few seconds when waking device. After a few seconds the messages go away and the desktop shortcuts appear normal. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix? I have tried a few different cards and made sure the contacts are clean before install.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I've seen that problem reported several times. There doesn't appear to be anything we can do about it with FireOS being so locked down. I have my 256GB card configured the same as you but don't see that. (Samsung EVO 256 if you're wondering). What I do see is a long >50 second delay between when my homescreen first appears and when my startup apps and widgets fully load. I don't reboot that often so it never bothered me much. (But then, my early experience was with DOS loading followed by typing in "win" and waiting 3 or 4 minutes for the disk to stop thrashing so you could actually use the computer!)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MECH_TECH:
Thanks for the info.

It's no big deal only couple seconds before all is ready. BTW mine is a SanDisk EVO 128...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] leon2222:
what are the changes in the new version 27.0?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
SanDisk doesn't make an "EVO" branded card. They have "Ultra" and "Extreme". :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Hi and welcome to XDA!

Thanks for the heads-up that there's a new version out. :) I'm downloading it right now to see what's new in it. Probably some bug fixes and any workarounds that have been found for 7.3.2.2. Stay tuned because @Datastream33 will likely make an announcement shortly telling us about it.

Edit: I've had a look and mostly it's updates to fix a few bugs and to get the latest Netflix and Disney apps. Also some improvements, but I'll let Datastream tell you about it. He's probably writing his post about it right now!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Davy49:
Hi Everyone,

I'm sure that the developer of this great app is taking all of the time needed before a new version of the app gets released. Like other users have already stated, I'm so grateful for all of the hard work & time the developer has put into getting the app to where it currently is. 👍😊
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
It just got updated this morning. It's now v27. We're just waiting for Datastream33 to post about it so I won't paste the changelog here.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MECH_TECH:
Ooops SanDisk Ultra 128
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I have no idea if the brand name makes any difference. I just mentioned it in case you wondered what I was using. I've never seen this problem on my 2019 HD10. I had an EVO 128 in it before, too, with no issues. Maybe it's the card. Maybe it's the year. Maybe it's some setting that's different from yours. Who knows?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] nooboff:
Entitled ingrate. Unbelievable. May he/she choke on his/her sour grapes.

Late to the party, but thank you Datastream for v.27.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
What I don't get is why would one base one's entire home automation system on an app they haven't tried, buy a half dozen tablets, and then find out they have a poorly supported version of the operating system that the app hacks? They should have bought one tablet and tried the app to see if it was suitable before investing in a small fleet of them. SMH

Edit: To be fair, he didn't say how many he bought, but it sounded like several from his rant.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] kotobuki09:
The latest version gives you that option!!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] kotobuki09:
Some suggest Gesture Control and I am pretty happy with that. Give it a try, man

Gesture Control - Apps on Google Play

I'll leave it to him to tell you more about the changes.

Edit: Damn! beat me by 2 seconds!!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
What can I say, I saw the future (when you'd post this at exactly what time) I missed out on April 1st, so I thought I'd get you good. Lol, just kidding... but I appreciate you having my back as usual! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
The battery percent works just fine on my tablet. I was going to fire up windows just to take a screenshot. Maybe it's because I'm running one of the earliest versions of FireOS (7.3.1.2). I didn't circle it, but look in the upper right corner.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings!

Yeah, so I believe changing the battery percent option in the Toolbox had no effect as far as I could tell. It seems percentage is visible no matter what... and even attempting to hide the icon didn't seem to work. Did it happen to work for you? Is my tablet only just not accepting the change?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I don't remember. I usually find the option under Developer Options on my phone and turn it on. I don't think it was available on the tablet, so I used it when I saw you included it as an option. I'll double check to see what happens when I turn it off/on in v26.1 and report back.

Edit: OK, so I tried both other options (show % while charging, and always hide) and you're right (as usual). The percentage display is always on. And here I thought it was just one of my usual customizations. (slaps self in the face)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
It looks like the community is working on a way around the launcher problem by hiding the navbar (or at least the home button) and installing a 3rd party navigation replacement. So far Gesture Control and Pie Control seem to work ok for that.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ah, that's actually a really good idea. :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Then, you only get the Amazon launcher once on first boot until you hit your remapped home button/gesture. Maybe Automate could take care of that, too.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Vince491:
Is there a way I could fix the notification bar going through the screen? It troubles me that I can't see the time at the corner at all and some apps like my keyboard also goes through it. All I did was hide/disable the navigation bar from time to time.

Here's a screenshot of what my tablet looks like.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Hi and welcome to XDA!

The problem is caused by the method of hiding the navbar using overscan. Basicaly, it zooms the screen in a little bit, and that has the effect of putting the edge elements off-screen. If you want to fool with the sizing of the overscan, you should look through my last couple of posts talking about this with @kotobuki09. The discussion starts on page 424. I list the ADB commands to adjust the margins and which numbers affect which margins. You may want to keep some numbers 0 if you never use certain orientations of the tablet.

Edit: Of course there's the other way of bypassing the Amazon Launcher - restore the navbar to stock, install a custom 3rd party navigation tool or gesture tool, make an appropriate gesture or button for your launcher of choice, and then hide just the home button of the stock navbar. This has worked for a couple of people here, but is something that hasn't been implemented in Toolbox because it's not been fully tested on every tablet out there and it's still a new idea.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Vince491:
Sure! I appreciate the tip, I'll try to tweak with the toolbox when I have the time. Thanks for the help
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I added an edit to my post if you're an adventurous type!

(Nevermind, I expanded your quote and saw that you had already seen it.)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Another thought on removing the navbar in v7.3.2.2 - it may not be as objectionable to simply hide ALL the navigation buttons, leaving a blank bar and losing a little real estate on the screen, than to hide the navbar by overscanning, and lose the edges of the notification area. Personally, I would rather deal with a small black bar at the bottom than lose my clock due to overscan.

Just a thought.

Edit: Is the navbar vertically resizable? i.e. Could it be made REALLY small and take up just a few pixel-widths of space?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Normand609:
Any way to permanently disable the default navigation bar? running the latest version of Fire OS
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Well, you might look on the previous page for a start. Toolbox offers to hide the toolbar, but the results of that may cause you to lose the clock due to overscan. You can also use Toolkit to just hide the home button and use a gesture navigation app to launch your preferred launcher.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Dallasdondarrion:
Might be a stupid question so I apologize in advance, but for those of us stuck with 7.3.2.2 and using a custom launcher, is there any way to hide the custom launcher from the Recent Apps list/button? Sometimes when I close an app in a hurry I mistakenly swipe the custom launcher and close it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Perhaps you should choose a different gesture navigation app. You should be able to remap the "Home" function of the nav app to "launch" your launcher of choice, regardless if it is in your Recents or not. I guess I don't really understand your problem.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Dallasdondarrion:
Sorry, I’ll try to explain it better. Since I’m on 7.3.2.2 and can’t set a custom launcher as the default launcher, the custom launcher (Nova launcher in this case) is constantly showing in my recent apps when I press the square navigation button. Sometimes I’ll touch that square button to close recent apps I’ve been using, but since Nova launcher is constantly showing there, I sometimes swipe to close Nova Launcher by accident and it reverts back to the stock launcher.

Now it isn’t a big deal since I can just press the home button again to bring back Nova launcher, but I was wondering if there was some command or app I could use to hide Nova launcher or any custom launcher from showing in recent apps? Hopefully that makes sense. It certainly isn’t a big issue by any means, it would just be a slight quality of life improvement.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Ah, I get it now. Yeah, that would be a bother.

I don't really know if there's a way to hide an app from the recents list. I'm not sure where to start looking either. I suppose a properly worded google search and digging into the results several pages would be a reasonable first step. Anyone gonna volunteer? ..... Anyone...... Hello.... Is this thing on? ....

I guess I'll look into it a bit, but I can't do it tonight. Give me a few days and I'll let you know if I find anything.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] IronneMan:
I answered my own question. Forgot to install Fire ADB Drivers. It worked and was able to install Google Services. Looking forward to future updates. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
OK, I will fix the link and let you know when's it's fixed. Tried to upload to the mirror servers but my internet kept slowing down to a snail's speed. I have too many people on my wifi... Lol.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
So, you did the "Remove Everything Amazon" correct? If so, I could see where you are coming from. Ok, so here's the issue. Parental Controls installs itself as a Device Admin and can't be de-activated from Settings. So when you remove everything from the tablet Parental Controls can't access the removed apps so it tells you about it. Right now, I'm working on a way to remove Parental Controls but unfortunately, it might take a while... if it can even be done!

I don't think right now there is a way to fix it without performing a factory reset or running the Revert Tool.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
AWESOME! GOOD JOB! I'm glad you were able to fix it! In addition, don't worry, future updates will be on their way! ;)

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] yadspi:
I re-did everything from scratch, using the 1.5 tool now...so no debloat if I want to keep parental control error gone. Side note question...if I replace the Launcher how the f@#$ do you change the lock-screen wallpaper? It just go back to the setting screen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] wizard10000:
Successfully upgraded from v1.0 on my 2017 HD 10. I did notice that the Youtube Vanced installer seemed to hang at 8% but once again, smacking the enter key made it perk up and finish the install.

Thanks again :)

edit: Just a thought, but maybe installing Launcher Hijack should be optional? My device is rooted and there's no need for Launcher Hijack - maybe an option to replace the default launcher for those who need it?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] GroovinChip:
I, for one, really appreciate what OP is doing with this tool, and eagerly await full support for the 2018 HD 8.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] fronten:
thank you for the new tool, Datastream!

I just used the 1.5 version to install play services, disable OTA updates, uninstall anything amazon, install launcher and utube vance.

worked fine, but failed to correctly set Nova launcher (accessibility options neccessary, but not set) and also set parental controls active.

The last part (parental controls) could not be disabled, making this mod undesirable.

I had to reset back to factory settings using recovery menu of the device.

i made the whole process again without removing amazon apps and amazon connectivity.

so far everything is running well, adclear (noroot) hides ads, play store works, youtube vance is great - i am quite happy.

i left OTA updates possibility activated because i don't know what harm it might do to my setup if active. any idea?

---

best wish would be the ability to change launcher without hijack tool. (requires root i guess)

PS*1: the tool menu options to boot into recovery/download mode don't work (error). had to use hardware keys, no worries.

PS*2: default menu options should be 'no' (or empty field) because i might have broken things by trying to leave the tool with a keypress (CTRL-BRK); didn't work; but happily proceeded as if 'yes' was entered. woah.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] @pops:
I totally agree with you.

I make tech you tube videos and always give credit to xda developers whose programs/ ports that i use. And to see persons giving so much discouraging and distasteful comments its just heartbreaking those individuals don't understand how long it takes to put all this together and this maybe the reason why we don't see lots of cool projects like before it all because of those discouraging comments. I always appreciate every thread here whether it works, has bugs or doesn't work at all. Because if it was left for some of them they would definitely not not know what to do. I also wish to add that if i had the resources i would definitely support all threads here which help me out.

People please lets not promote hate here. Lets all encourage each other

Thanks for your work.

I'm a bit cautious, so if I don't use/intent to use parental control, I should not get any bad misbehaviour after remove everything Amazon right?

And a request about removing, removing the boot sound is most likely not doable. If so, an option for that would be great.

Thanks for the tool! I removed all amazon, but am having issues reinstalling prime video or any amazon app for that matter. I receive error code 910. Any fixes? I've tried clearing cache/data of the playstore, but not getting anywhere.

Is there anywhere you post what each function does, in terms of ADB commands? I just ask because I have done most of what your app does, I would just like to check my methods against yours to see if I missed any.
