Does anyone think there is much chance we will see FireOS 8.* for the 2021 HD 10 before they lock it down?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
The FireHD 10 (2021) and the Fire HD 10+ (2021) would be the next two tablets to get updated to FireOS 8, if they are going to get updated. Since they're already rolling out 8.3.1.4 in other countries, I wouldn't expect them to release 8.3.1.3 updates for them. If anything, they'll likely get 8.3.1.4.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ra[g]e:
Thanks for this! The Play Store on my 8.3.1.1 decided to bug out (would not authenticate). So I took the plunge to 8.3.1.3. World of difference in terms of stability.

This is what I did:

-> factory reset

-> let tablet update automatically

-> factory reset again

-> turn off WiFi and do the usual FTB stuff

I think people should not be doing the auto update step given the impending release of 8.3.1.4.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Okay, I updated my signature to include links to the FireOS 8.3.1.3 updates for HD 7 (2022) & HD 8 (2022). They are with the other updated apps I have collected. If anyone wants to use them, be sure to use only the correct version for your tablet. Do not try and use them unless you have an HD 7 or HD 8 from 2022.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
Great work 👍 ! Verifies that FireOS 8.3.1.3 is the current FTB "E Ticket".

Bold step executing an OTA update, without knowing if a new f/w was "waiting in the bushes" ... I'm not sure I'd want to play poker against you!

And you're right ... the "window of opportunity" for OTA update to f/w 8.3.1.3 may be closing fast.

If we're lucky (...very lucky!) f/w 8.3.1.4 may be even better from a FTB POV (eternal optimism). TBD.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I'll keep watching Amazon's firmware update page and grab any other 8.3.1.3 updates that may appear for other tablets, but for now it's only 7's & 8's from '22. Anyone can grab the update from my signature. They're in the 3rd link.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
Confirm your current version of FireOS ; f/w 8.3.1.3 currently appears to be the most stable platform for the Google Play infrastructure for Gen 12 Fire tablets (Fire 7/HD 8 2022 release)

See posts immediately above and earlier this week that may apply to your situation.

An OS update may be necessary for best results.

It doesn't work for me.

Same here.

I followed the instructions exactly, but the window closes after the message "Amazon Fire HD8 (2018) found."

What should I do?

I'm using Windows 10(64bit), and both Windows & Tablet are up to date.

**It still doesn't work with v5.2
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:

So, for the time being, there's nothing for Windows 10 64bit? I tried it and it just shuts down after launching.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Windows 64-bit should work. Have you tried clearing all .ds and .txt files from the C:\users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Datastream folder and restarting the Toolbox?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ms372591:
I tried clearing, uninstalling and reinstalling and it closes after I set the theme. I also tried restarting the computer and unplugging the tablet and it closes once I plug in the tablet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] sanjonny:
I used win 10 64 to do both my tablets all the way back at version 5.0 worked fine. Don't know if there is new problem with 5.2 have not used that yet.

---------- Post added at 04:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

So a few notes and a question. Used 5.0 for most functions but had a problem with automate/lockscreen task. Installed on one tablet but hung after second process/ write secure or whatever, sorry I don't remeber, but basically did not copy the script, but since It installed automate and did all the permissions, all I had to do was download the script and it worked fine. Second tablet I had to reboot at least twice to get to work even though adb went thru. It hung at installing automate the first time, I looked and it had installed but not done the rest of the script, I rebooted, reran and it of course skipped (errored) installing automate because it was actually already installed but then did the rest and frankly, I didn't even check if it put the script on the sdcard when it finished, I just opened automate and downloaded the script.

This was on two previously rooted hd 8s 2018 version. Just an fyi, I don't know why it hang each time but thought I would mention it.

My question is I just read in the 5.2 update that now lockscreen ads can be removed without automate. For those of us that have installed automate, should we just uninstall and do the new method (I don't use automate for anything on the tablets other than the script) and is there an advantage to the new way...does it save memory or something?

Thanks for the quick updates and responding. I have almost enough knowledge to do some of this manually but the script makes life easier. I would add into the notes a bit more detail about the ads removal just so some of us know whats going on, though I just now thought I can look up the guy who suggested it and find out, but for others it might be helpful!

Thanks for awesome tool!

I have never had a problem with Windows 10 64bit.

Technically I am still using v5.0 as I have not needed to connect with v5.1 and v5.2 just dropped
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ms372591:
The same here it started with 5.1. I was hoping to stop using the Automate app, so I figured that I would give 5.1 and 5.2 a try.

Я могу ответить на ваш первый вопрос.

[СПОЙЛЕР="Открыть"]

1) Да, вы можете использовать запасной блок питания, мощность которого на 10 % выше или ниже заявленного (4,5–5,5 В), но в крайних случаях это может вызвать проблемы. 5,2В по моему не проблема. (Я техник-электронщик, который регулярно работает с микропроцессорами и логическими схемами).

редактировать: перенапряжение не является проблемой, если тепло не является фактором или конденсаторы работают слишком близко к своим пределам. Я не думаю, что планшеты Fire подвержены риску перегрева, а конденсаторы, вероятно, выше 6,3 В, поэтому это не должно вызывать беспокойства.

2) Я не Android-программист, поэтому не могу ответить на этот вопрос.

3) Это то, что вы должны обсудить с разработчиком, @Datastream33.

4) Это снова то, о чем следует проконсультироваться с Datastream33.

(Я сказал вам, что могу ответить только на первый вопрос!) Надеюсь, это немного поможет.

edit2: Я надеюсь, что это автоматически переведено правильно. Я не знаю, какой у тебя родной язык.[/SPOILER]

------------------------------

Привет,

дело в том, что я подключил зарядное устройство от старого планшета к новому и мне показалось, что зарядка идет быстрее, чем от оригинального (нового). На всякий случай решил посоветоваться, не опасно ли это.

Спасибо за ответ!

Я тут недавно и еще не знаю всех правил, думал что пишу, а кто знает/хочет/может ответить - пишите ответы.

То есть к разработчику надо обращаться отдельно/лично?

Кстати, как это сделать, а то у меня больше вопросов)).

edit2: Я надеюсь, что это автоматически переведено правильно. Я не знаю, какой у тебя родной язык.

Да все понятно.

Еще раз спасибо!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
It appears you are responding to me, although you might use the "Reply" button at the end of my post next time so it's more clear. (y)

As far as a replacement power supply goes, the one that comes with the tablet is only rated for 10W and the tablet will use up to 15W to charge, so you can definitely speed up charging with a replacement.

Anyone can answer questions here, but if you want to address the developer directly, that would be Datastream33. You can either write a post with @Datastream33 in it and he will see it, or you can try sending him a direct message. He would probably prefer the first choice. ;)

If you need to send a direct message, go to a post by him (the first post in this thread works if there isn't one on the current page), and hover over his name and a box will appear. Select "Start Conversation" and your message will go to him alone.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Eiion:
I ran into an issue that I hope someone was able to solve it before:

Today I bought a 25€ Netflix card (the cheapest one) so I can watch a new show they have. And since I don't have a big budget (why else would I toolbox the fire tablet) I got the basic subscription with advertising (4,99€/month).

When registering I was asked for the devises I would watch on and selected PC and phone/tablet. So far so good - nothing foreshadowing that there would be problems.

While I can watch on PC in the browser (the windows app doesn't work with this subscription for whatever reason) and with the Android app on my phone, I cannot get anything to play on the toolboxed Fire HD 10 plus.

The Netflix app I still had on the tablet from months ago, when I could watch with a friend's premium account, now says that I should "upgrade" the app or the type of subscription when logging in with my own account. (Back then I got popups when opening Netflix as well letting me know about a newer version but whenever I used the Toolbox to try and get a newer version, there was none available.)

'No problem' I thought, I'll just drop the app and watch in the browser like on PC.

Wrong, that also doesn't work. I'm told by another popup that I cannot watch with the basic subscription with ads.

Can this really be? We cannot watch on an android tablet in Chrome browser?

So I thought I'd simply set the browser to request the desktop website - but got an error code saying that the device isn't compatible.

So I thought let's try the 1DM+ Browser, set that to desktop - but again I'm getting an error code instead of the video playing.

I feel scammed.

Has anyone found a way to watch Netflix on a toolboxed fire tablet with the cheap (affordable) basic subscription with ads?

PLEASE someone tell me you've got it to work...

Edit: Now when trying to access Netflix via Chrome im even getting an http error 403 saying that access was denied. No matter if in desktop mode or not. 1DM+ doesn't even show that big just a blank page... I really hope someone can help.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
Looks like Netflix has been making major changes to it's subscription services, especially password sharing and modes of access. See latest:

Netflix's Password-Sharing Crackdown Has Begun: Everything to Know

Netflix launched new fees in four countries last week, and more are coming.

www.cnet.com

Also Netflix app on Fire tablets runs best from Amazon AppStore. Try uninstalling whatever version to you're using and reinstalling from AppStore. Google Play version definitely now incompatible.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Eiion:
1. I am not password sharing - read again what I wrote.

2. I was using the Netflix app installed via Toolbox. Also, I'm on an old firmware that was still fully toolboxable. I should avoid any amazon app like fire to avoid triggering an update.

EDIT:

I've just updated fire toolbox to the newest version and re-installed the Netflix app - so I assume I have the newest version of it.

After logging in to the app I still get the same (somewhat confusing) error message though:

Translated to English that says "The basic plan with ads is not supported. Update the Netflix app on this device to start watching. You also can change your subscription via your account.".

What is it, the app isn't up to date or the subscription doesn't allow to watch on andoid - despite saying you can watch on all devices when signing up for the plan. Considering ignoring the message and trying to start a show a popup appears saying again the subscription isn't supported on this device and asks to upgrade the app OR change the subscription, I'm believing that there's an issue with the app. I cannot imagine that we cannot watch Netflix on the tablet when watching on the phone works perfectly fine.

So I guess I'm back to square one asking: Has anyone gotten the basic plan to work on our toolboxed Fire tablet?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yeah, the Netflix app the Toolbox downloads is probably outdated.

It needs to be updated manually and I keep forgetting to do so. Please give me some time and ill be sure to check and see if there are any updates, and if so push them to download server.

If outdated, an update could be what your tablet needs.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I suppose you could try a browser like Kiwi, and change the user agent string (using this extension) to trick the website into thinking your on a Windows desktop. Not 100% sure it would work, but perhaps its worth a try.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
** SEE END OF POST **

You're Right ... It's most likey the Netflix app, but there may be more to it.

It may be a multi-factor problem involving the Fire tablet and/or the Netflix app ans/or Netflix Germany and/or your particular subscription.

To start, generally the Netflix app does not run well outside of the Amazon ecosystem on Fire tablets. Google specificaaly states that Fire tablets are not "certified devices" and Amazon states the Google Play is not supported. In fact, the Netflix listing on Google Play Store installed on Fire Tablets says "This app won't work on your device" and won't even allow a download. The problems we have seen come from Netflix sideloaded onto Fire tablets. The AppStore versiosn have been ported and re-codoed to run on the Amazon infrastructure and generally runs well; the Google version may have problems.

Next, Netflix Germany has it's own more limited media catalogue and service, ostensible for licensing reasons. German IP address are geo-blocked from accessing US Netflix servers. That's the source of the 403 network connect error message. Chrome browser can easily connect to www.netflix.com, just not from Germany. Is there a re-direct to Netflix Germany servers? Possbile workaround is to use a VPN to "spoof" a US IP address.

Next, is there a specific Netfix Germany version of the app?, or is the app not responding because it's installed on a Fire tablet? or will the app only work on Netflix Germany servers?

Next, will your subscription work on Netflix Germany?

I can see how reluctant you are to make any changes to your FTB setup; understandable to protect your tablet from Amazon, at any cost.

However, once your FTB setup is adequately protected from OTA Updates, you are not precluded from using your Amazon account and downloading apps from the Amazon AppsStore. That's the general approach for getting Google incompatible apps to run on FTB modded Fire tablets. But you have to be vigilant that OTA Updates won't occur.

Do not install same apps from both Play Store and AppStore together.

Edit: alternative version of Netflix app may be available for "non-compliant" devices :

Netflix says, 'This app is not compatible with your device.'

Your Netflix app version isn't compatible with your Android device. Open the Play Store and follow these steps.

9th Generation Fire HD 10 that I applied Toolbox v 6.5 to a year or two ago and it has worked just fine, except...

After a day of use, and having put the device down while I work or sleep, the device invariably becomes far too sluggish to use.

I don't know the cause of this slow down, I don't know if memory has been totally allocated, or if some process has run amuck.

Is there any android or amazon fire app that provides system information like a top or ps would?

Is top or ps something I can run via an adb shell if I have the tablet connected to my windows laptop? But not run without being connected?

I have no reason to think this sluggishness is due to the Toolbox mods, but is it possible this sluggishness is due to the Toolbox mods? (Automate?)

What do you think my best course of action is to diagnose this, and to fix this?

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Eiion:
I took the risk, enabled the Amazon App store and updated the Netflix app before disabling the Amazon App again. That indeed did the trick - now it's working. 🎉😊

I did try that with Dolphin Browser using a current Win10 with Chrome Browser user agent but while the autoplay trailers worked I couldn't play the episode of the show I wanted to watch due to missind DRM capabilities of the browser. At least that's how I uderstood the error message I had gotten.

Unless Kiwi can deal with DRM secured content streams, possibly even Silverlight I don't think Kiwi would've worked either. But luckily the newest App from the Amazon App Store worked.

Talking of that: How about implementing a feature (possibly app) that allows us to update hybrid apps (Netflix/Disney+) from the tablet without the Amazon App store i.e. just downloading it from there making it available to be installed from the downloads folder? Is that even something that's possible? I'd think it would be, considering it's not much different from what you have to do manually.

Actually www.netflix.com is the only way to surf to Netflix from Germany as well. There is no specific German Netflix domain. So no, there's no re-redirect.

And as said, I was able to even login on the Netflix page - only after that the site didn't load anymore and showed the error. But only on the phone - there were no issues whatsoever on the PC for the same URL. And just like for people accessing Netflix form the US the page to browse available content on Netflix in Germany also is www.netflix.com/browse.

Sure the subscription works in Germany - which was implied by telling how it worked on PC. And as told before as well, the account/subscription was created from Germany, after buying the gift card in Germany. So none of that is an issue.

Yes, considering I got one of the last HD 10 plus models with "old" firmware that allowed full customization, that really is the last I'd wont to be gone.

Thanks for the more detailed info about the Amazon App store/OTA update. That makes me a bit more confident using it in future cases.

Reg. Edit 1: Thanks for the Netflix link regarding a direct app download from their server. That really could come in handy at some point.

In summary it can be said that the "Netflix Basic with ads plan" works on our Fire Tablets, even from Germany (and likely any other country where that plan is offered) - as long as an up to date Netflix app is used on the tablet to watch.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Eiion:
I doubt that any of this is caused by any of the standard toolbox features/changes.

My approach to solve the issue would be to first make a backup, then uninstall all the apps you've installed since "toolboxing" your tablet and then try one by one of your wanted apps to see which of them causes issues as described.

Since that might be a rather lengthy process you might just do a factory reset and start over as well.

A good idea is to make a backup right after setting the tablet up originally so you can always just go back to that instead of going through it manually when issues occur.

Also, have you checked your storage? Could it be that almost all available storage is used? In my experience this is what makes devices "sluggish" as you describe it.
