[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
What's going on, guys?

I hope everyone had a great Halloween, and an even better Tuesday!

Back with another awesome update! Let's dive in and get a firsthand look at what makes this update so "awesome"!

An Alternative Backup Solution​

Google introduced ADB Backup in 2011 and was praised (rightfully so) for its ease of use and effectiveness of backing up apps, app data, and the internal storage. However, as time went on, support for adb backup decreased and the tool is now deprecated. It's not known when Google will finally drop the tool completely, so I figured why not emulate some of that backup function using other functions of ADB and make our own little backup solution?

When you execute the System Backup tool, you'll now be presented with three options:

Internal Storage - Backup ALL files on the internal storage.

User Apps - Pulls and saves all user installed apps.

Settings Database - Backup ALL entries in the System, Secure, and Global database tables.

Once the desired options are selected, the Toolbox will then do its thing and will create a .7z archive containing the backup information. This .7z archive is then saved in the Toolbox's bin\System Backups folder. You can then use this backup to restore the specified items later down the line. Pretty cool, right?

Manage Amazon Apps (Simple) Improvements​

As requested, when navigating through the list of apps using the arrow keys, the Toolbox will now mark all red apps as "Not Recommended" to help users using Narrator (or other screen readers) to more easily identify apps that shouldn't be disabled/hidden. In addition, the issues causing a crash to occur when attempting to hide packages on older gen devices has been fixed. The tool is also now capable of reading the hidden apps, and will now remove them from the apps list and add them to the restore list.

Anyone Need Contacts and Calendar Sync?​

Well, then I have terrific news for you! In tonight's update, the Play Services tool has been updated to include options to install Contacts/Calendar sync along with Play Services. These are the fundamental services that should allow your contacts and calendar events to successfully come through to your Fire Tablet. In addition, some improvements have been made under the hood of the tool to hopefully make installation and downloading more stable - Once you install the micropatch that is!

System UI Customizer and the Navigation Bar Modifier​

You know, I love these tools to death... but I've always had one problem with the tool. While it's cool to Drag n' Drop, it can be kind of frustrating when you realize you want an item in a different place, and you have to drag and drop each item to the other pane again just to move one item. Well, this problem is no more! Simply select the item you want to move, and press either the up arrow key to move the item up, or press the down arrow key to move it down! It's that simple!

Hey, you want to hear about another frustrating thing that's been made simpler? Well, let's discuss the custom icons subtool for the Navigation Bar Modifier! Have some icons already set, but want to move around a navbar element? In the past, you had to load the custom icons again and then apply the changes you wanted... well guess what? That's no longer an issue as the subtool now automatically loads the currently applied icons without any user input. Pretty cool if you ask me!

The Icon's Brand New Look​

Much like Staples, the Toolbox's icon is getting a fresh new look. Due to some licensing issues with the old icon, we had to make the switch. Fortunately, I think the new icon looks pretty good, and I can now freely use the icon anywhere (OP here we come). Let me know what you guy's think about the new icon.

Hold up, that's not everything! Please take a look at the changelog below to get the scope on more awesome changes:

Ready to download v25.0 and give it a try? Head on over to the Downloads section of the OP or simply upgrade your currently installation using the Toolbox Updater!

Well, you guys know the drill by now, I hope! I just wanted to take the time to show my appreciation for the wonderful support you've shown, and would like to thank you all for being just great people in general! Without you guys, I can't say that the project would be where it is today! I'd also like to give a huge shoutout to those who've donated a coffee! It's really generous of you guys and I really do appreciate it!

Well, that's all I got for now! Stay safe, and please have a wonderful rest of your night/day! Until next time guys! Peace! :D
