This is a screen capture of the cmd, in spanish.

Say: "don't expecting 13 at this moment".
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Thank you! I really do appreciate it! Now, I'm trying to figure out where the 13 is coming from. This is very interesting. I will look into it and push an update asap if I mangae to figure it out! Again, thanks! :D

Amazing !! very well done.

Thank you for this one.

Toolbox V6.0 has been Updated!

Ok, so I've managed to fix the bug and have updated the links in the downloads section. Now, apparently there was an issue with the Notification Center that I wasn't able to catch. Let me explain myself, when working on the Toolbox I have the splash screen, and notification center disabled because it can be quite annoying when I have to restart the Toolbox (checking features) and wait for the notification center and splash screen to play out. So, I disabled them. Now, the issue you all have been facing since V5.0 is probably the same bug that was just fixed tonight.

I want to firmly apologize for not noticing this issue before and I'm deeply mad at myself for it. I just want to apologize and thank you guys for being so cool about it! With this out of the way can I please ask you all to uninstall V6.0 from your PC and then download and install the new V6.0? Thanks!

In addition, thank you [MENTION=10110240]pappo1977[/MENTION] for the help with locating the bug! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Oh, and one more thing!

Once V6.0 is installed it is recommended to navigate to the Datastream root folder (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Datastream) and delete the Notification_history.txt file before launching V6.0. This will completely reset the notification counter and fix any issues with it. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] pappo1977:
Hi! I can confirm that now the toolbox launch well! Thanks for the hard work!

The first time, I try to enter in adb shell, works fine ( the standard, the root one tell me that is no supported by my fire, I think because of updates and the su patched nearly, as other user say ), but after I close and try to adb shell again, nothing appens and goes by to the home screen of toolbox. I close everything, restart the fire and try again, same result.

Again, Thank you for the efforts!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Dhker:
I have installed the toolbox 6.0 and still cannot open the main menu after showing notifications news and shown detected Fire HD 8 (2018). I surf through other post and found few users encountering this issue. Do you have any suggestion on solving this! Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] koop1955:
Just a quick note to [MENTION=8560782]Datastream33[/MENTION] - did a clean install of 6.0 and it is working perfectly for me. I prefer a clean install of most software, less issues. Win 10 64 bit OS for me, if that matters.

Oh - HD Fire 8 2017, rooted.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mdowns989:
I tried the last version and new version both with clean installs and cannot get the 'Remove Lockscreen Ads' function to work... Sorry if it's been addressed before but I'm kinda new to the Fire area and trying to get this annoying stuff off... It just opens 2 cmnd windows and hangs...let it go for maybe 10 min and still didn't work... Am I just missing something? Seemed to work on one of my tablets... Not the other...same model...same os etc
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] tonybullet:
Can I have the changelog of the 6.0 version?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] moccor:
They were always working fine though. It wasn't like I did something to break it and then didn't touch it for over a year. It wasn't dropped or damaged. Is there a way I can change the date and time through the tooolbox or ADB? I feel like it simply is that, since the device was unused for so long, the battery depleted and it saved the date from the day it died. And then kinda like how Windows software gets all weird when using incorrect dates+times, I assume the same is happening here with the internet connection or maybe my router FW (OpenWRT). But I never had a problem like this with OpenWRT in the past 6-7 years
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Has anything occurred that might have changed your DNS settings? Toolbox has a DNS changer and VPN software has VPN options too. You might have a DNS problem where it can't connect to the server it uses to determine if it's connected to the intrenet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] moccor:
Nope, never touched that stuff but I did double check it on the latest FireToolbox. Tried multiple SSID's and my hotspot again, both say "Connected, no internet"
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Are you running pre-7.3.2.2 f/w, or post-7.3.2.2? I want to know if your OTA updates are disabled or blocked. If pre-7.3.2.2, you should have them disabled. If that's the case then you can use Toolbox to set your DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and see if it shows a connection.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] moccor:
I haven't done anything software-wise to this tablet since before Dec 2021 and OTA updates were disabled in the Toolbox. For some reason it keeps showing a DNS of 8.8.8.8 even though I never touched that stuff and that is not set on my modem or router. I also reset the WiFi and bluetooth settings multiple times, cleared cache multiple times, tried static IP, shutdowns, restarts, etc.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS resolver that's set by default. Try changing it with Toolbox to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] moccor:
Yeah I tried that, as well as the AdGuard one and the Google one, and switching back to ISP
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] :
That's what I found too. Google DNS is very persistent! Perhaps even hard coded somewhere. But I can still connect to WiFi.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
FWIW ADB shell command to set time/date :

adb shell date -s YYYYMMDD.HHmmss

Not sure if this works on FireOS.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] moccor:
Tried it, the adb shell in Toolbox seems to accept it (it doesn't error) but doesn't seem to do anything. Found out something weird though, when I restart the tablet it always goes back to the same time, 11:35PM December 8th 2021. It is acting like a Windows PC without a battery
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
Rats 🐀 ... confirms another thing locked-down in FireOS ☹️
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] moccor:
I kinda feel like since none of the other stuff fixed it, the likelihood of a factory reset fixing it might be low. And I remember how much this tablet sucked and was slow stock, so Idk if I would want to even risk being stuck with Amazon bloat 🤔. I guess I will leave it turned on for a while and see if it magically fixes itself.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jhford:
Well, I started to setup my new Fire 7 2022 12th gen. But none of this happened; the tablet automatically connected to my network.

Tapping the blue arrow at the bottom of the screen, you'll be asked to connect to a WIFI network.

Select ANY network from the list (even if you don't know the password).

Once it asks for the password, tap the "Cancel" button and it will take you to the previous screen with the Wifi networks.

At the bottom of the screen, you should now see a "Skip Setup" button, go ahead and tap that.

It will now ask if you're sure you want to skip fire setup. Just tap "Skip" once more.

You should immeditely be thrown into Fire Launcher. You're now ready to enable USB/ADB Debugging.

So, what should I do now?

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] moccor:
Probably just return it and order another one. This is from the OP -

"

Before purchasing the tablet:

Make sure you uncheck the "Link device to your Amazon account to simplify setup" box before Adding to Cart. (See this screenshot, credits go to @ancientrael)

if the box remains checked, your tablet will automatically update to the latest version of FireOS the second it auto-connects to your wifi."

Hi and welcome to XDA!

Datastream33 is finishing up on the updated FTB Linux port. It will most likely be out before the week ends. Remember that the Linux port is a beta and there are still some things that need a little tweaking but all in all it's really nice. I've seen a few issues with various Linux distros that are being addressed as quickly as can be handled. Have patience and you will be rewarded soon. :D

Hi guys!

I am having to deal with the "opposite" problem that most people are dealing with here.

I am choosing Amazon Fire tablets not because they are cheaper. Time is money, and making them work well has become increasingly time consuming. There are two very specific features that Fire Tablets have that no other Android tablets do as well.

1- The Smart Home Dashboard.

I know most people here want to get rid of the icon, but as an Alexa smart home user I have yet to find any other touch based home dashboard that can rival it in terms of features and simplicity. I use it all the time to trigger routines as well as control my Wyze smart lights. Home Assistant seems like a full time job, so out of the question for me.

2- The Fire HD exclusive Amazon text-to-speach.

It's unrivaled. It can read Japanese sideloaded ebooks better than any other app that I have seen. IPads are pathetic in comparison. The feature is not available on stock Android devices.

So here comes my question.

Would it be possible to sideload those functions to, say, a Samsung Galaxy s9 tablet? As Fire tablets are becoming increasingly locked down, I fear that my beautiful home dashboard might not longer work with updated devices. I need Google Play apps, and use MS Launcher for its widgets (not as default launcher, only as a widget screen). People are starting to have a lot of issues with the Fire Max 11, so I was thinking of replacing my setup with a Samsung tablet and sideloaded Amazon apps.

Has anyone ever tried this? Iḿ interested in finding out if it's possible.

Thanks in advance guys!

tk
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Take this with a grain (or a pound) of salt because I've never tried this. You MAY be able to pull the apps from your Amazon tablet and sideload them to your other-brand tablet, but there may be several apps needed for each function to work and you'd need to get them all. I know the app responsible for displaying the Device Dashboard icon is "com.amazon.smartgenie.apk". That may only be for the icon though and there may be further apps needed for the full app to work. I'm not sure where to look for the Amazon text-to-speach or the name(s) of the app(s) needed to make it work. Then there's also the possibility of the apps needing some Amazon framework built in to FireOS that's not in Android. I would say the likelihood of success is low but you're free to try and let us know. :) Maybe you can get one or the other to at least partially work. I would try with a used Samsung tablet from eBay with a similar Android version to the new model you're looking to buy first if that's your only reason to buy a new Samsung tablet. That way you're not out a lot of money if it fails.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] tk–421:
Thanks for the reply.

I have already extrated some Amazon apks from FireOS8 and installed them on my Fire HD10 with FireOS 7. Notably the Silk Browser and the Smart Home Dashboard. Works very well. I appreciate the extra features on the FireOS 8 Silk browser, notably being able to use AdGuard DNS straight in the browser.

I might try getting a small Samsung Tablet from Best Buy and loading up the apks on them. If I could at least get the home dashboard to work it'd be a major win. But the apk is looking for an Amazon account so where would it get that? There must be an apk to sign in to Amazon built in the OS. I doubt installing Alexa would work, as I have the Google Play version of Alexa on my Fire HD 8 and the dashboard is signed in to a different account.

Maybe this won't ever be an issue and Google Play will still work on FireOS devices, but things look bad atm.

I'll be sure to let you know if I can ever make this work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
On the fire tablets, the app that signs you in to Amazon is Shop Amazon. I don't know if it needs further apps though. You can get that app in the 3rd link in my signature. (y)

yup, just saw this right after I posted that lol. thank you!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] tk–421:
Thanks for the hint. I didn't know that the Amazon Shop was responsible for signing in. I have disabled the app from my tablets. Hopefully this will enable the dashboard to work on Samsung or Lenovo tablets.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I'm guessing you'd have to install that app on your Samsung or Lenovo tablet and then sign in from there for it to work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] tk–421:
Yeah that's what I am guessing. Fire tablets also have their own Settings app, might try installing that to have access to the text to speech settings. Hopefully this works well.

Really considering that Lenovo Legion Y700 2023 tablet. With some of those Amazon apps installed it might be the ultimate 8-9" tablet. Really hoping for a Fire max 9 with pen support, but doubt this will ever happen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
@tk

Some random thoughts.

1. Fire tablets and Home Automation

I originally got my Fire tablet as an entrée to home automation, but in my region, Amazon totally disabled the whole Alexa/Show mode/Home Dashboard infrastructure ! (Thanks, Amazon). Looking for a workaround.

I've looked at Home Assistant, but as you've noted, it's not intuitive to navigate. There are lots of YouTube/Reddit writeups using the Fully Kiosk app as a "front end" to Home Assistant and that may simplify the process. Looks promising. Also there are some Fully Kiosk "skins" that make Home Assistant almost look like an OEM app.

2. Fire Tablets and Voice Recognition

Amazon replaced the native Android/Google voice engine with an Amazon variant for FireOS . Works fine for native Amazon app , but not so much for Android apps using Google's ecosystem.

Conversely, using native Amazon voice recognition apps may not work with Android/Google voice engine. Voice recognition apps using AWS protocols can probably be coded/recoded for Android (and vice versa) , but that's way outside my "pay grade".

3. Future Fire tablet Evolution

Given the hastles wiith FireOS 8 and Google Play infrastructure on Gen 12/13 Fire tablets, I'm a liitle wary of successfully making productivity mods on any future Fire tablet models. Maybe just my paranoid fear mongering.

4. Amazon Apps for Android

Many of the Amazon-branded apps have been specifically coded/recoded to run on Android and can be installed from Google Play Store including:

- Amazon Tablet (aka Amazon Shopping)

- Amazon Alexa

- Amazon Prime Video

- Amazon Photos

- Amazon Music

- Amazon Kids+

- Amazon Kindle

I suspect that some Amazon apps copied from a Fire tablet may "misbehave" on Android devices, just as Google-branded apps installed from Play Store are unstable on FireOS.

Issue with trying to run a restore for an Amazon Fire HD10 Kids Pro tablet

Hi! I had software updates reboot my PC earlier today when in the 'decompressing' phase of running a restore for a tablet backup.

Now when I attempt it again, I see this error.

Hi, I'm trying to disable the 'Navigation Bar' in 'Modify System Settings,' and I'm not having success on the Fire HD8 2022. Could you help me disable the 'Navigation Bar'? I did the same procedure on the Fire HD8 2020, and it works perfectly.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
May be part of known bug in current FTB ver 32.x :

... "Custom Navbar issues

Brought to light by the legend @blaacksheep, it seems there's an issue with the Custom Navigation Bar on FireOS 7.3.2.7. It's noted that when changing the navigation bar layout manually or through the Navigation Bar Modifier subtool it causes the custom navbar key to disappear and the default home key returns. The database key that holds the navbar layout (sysui_nav_bar) appears to be correct. but some how isn't? This appears to be a bug on both the port and Windows version." ...

@Datastream33 investigating issue now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the sysui_nav_bar variable no longer being honored in FireOS 8. It makes modifying the navbar more limited. I don't know for sure.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] robsondeavila:
Too bad. I really needed to disable it. Does anyone have any idea how to disable it, even if it requires some app?

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
Looks like Google "system protected" the NavBar related apks/modifiers in versions of Android 11 (Red Velvet Cake) and later.

There use to be multiple Android apps/mods to hide/disable Android NavBar but all were rendered useless with Android 11 changes. In fact, Google eventually removed such apps from Play Store as "inappropriate".

Been an ongoing annoyance on other Android devices, but not an issue Fire tabets until Gen 12/13 Fire tablets with later FireOS 8 (f/w 8.3.1.9 ? )

Does anyone know how to make a full image backup of the Fire 11 Pro? Like, be able to save passwords, settings, etc? It takes literally hours to setup a new tablet from scratch.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
Fire Toolbox has a Backup and Recovery facility as described by @Datastream33 :

" The backup solution the Toolbox uses would allow you to restore the settings database (so things like your navigation bar layout, quick settings toggles, etc), user installed apps (apps you've installed, but doesn't include the app's data), files and directories on the internal storage (downloaded files, pictures, simple app data, etc), and package states (disables/enables system apps depending upon their states when the backup was created. If any app was disabled, and is now enabled, it will be disabled again). "

Not a full system imaging tool as that would require root access which , unfortunately, is not available to current Fire tablet models.
