Could you please send me the .APK for Amazon Facebook Share app installed on your tablet?

How to pull the APK:

Open the Toolbox and execute an ADB Shell (just to ensure the working directory for command prompt is placed in the adb folder)

Execute the following command to get the app's path:

adb shell pm path com.amazon.unifiedsharefacebook

Take the output of the command above, remove the "package:" bit and plug it into the following command:

adb pull *output from previous command here* AmazonDebugger_pulled.apk

Spoiler content hidden.

That should do it, the apk should now be placed in the adb directory. Could you please send this file to me so I can pull the manifest and see what libraries it's looking for? Thanks so much my friend! :D

OK I am a total virgin at this. So please be kind but I searched through 50 pages of this thread and I could not find an answer and I even went to the end and searched backwards...anywho....I have a Fire 7 with 9th whatever that is called. I am running up to date with patches Windows 10. I downloaded and installed version 17 and the auto updater insists on doing the 17.1 micropatch and I cannot see a way to get around this. when it extracts the 17.1 micropatch the gives the error window of this:

and then when I click OK I get this that will not let me uncheck the box so I have to click on "Download and Install":

so I after I click download and install I finally get this:

Then only option is to click "OK" and it closes everything with the toolbox.

How can I either figure out how to avoid the micropatch and go about my way from there OR fix it so the micropatch CAN be installed? And thanks for any and all help you can suggest.

Maybe i execute disable OTA update, so can't enter in System Updates menu. If i clicked, just return to Settings menu. My system is HD 10 2019 and when initializing i doesn't connected WIFI (For disable to Auto update with WIFI).

I still can't get the tool to run, but we'll get to that...

You asked above which version of FireOS is on the tablet: it's 5.6.0.0. Now... I'm just running adb in a command window. The pm command returned no output, so I poked around a tiny bit in the shell (I'm an old UNIX guy) and the package we're looking for doesn't show up in the list of packages at all, presumably because it's not debuggable.

1|shell@douglas:/ $ pm list packages|grep unified

package:com.amazon.unifiedsharegoodreads

package:com.amazon.unifiedsharesinaweibo

package:com.amazon.unifiedshare.actionchooser

package:com.amazon.unifiedsharetwitter

package:com.amazon.kindle.unifiedSearch

shell@douglas:/ $ pm list packages|grep face

1|shell@douglas:/ $

I can however "pm dump" it; the output shows code and data locations but I don't know which (if any) may be what you're looking for. I've attached the copious output below.

I figured I'd try installing the version of the package found in the first post of this thread on XDA which deals with the same model tablet. Since that thread doesn't show the package being disabled/removed/etc., I figured I'd just install right over the existing one. Alas, I get the missing shared library error:

Spoiler content hidden.

Back to the Toolbox, I uninstalled the tool, wiped the Datastream folder in AppData\Local, and reinstalled. I'm still getting the "debugger failed to install" error. Not sure what's happening there; maybe a version of the same thing. Maybe I need to restore the tablet to factory settings and forgo the online updates?

Thanks for your help... honestly, I don't know how you manage all these users and issues in one thread.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yeah, unfortunately it does look like the SoundMixer virus. I would recommend removing it as soon as possible! Best of luck friend, and if you need any help please let us know and we'd be more then happy to help!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] coilmaster949:
HI Datastream- first....Kudos for a great job doing this for all !!!

I just tried updating my sons 2017 version HD 10 (which was previously rooted with another method and was working fine but I thought your tool may upgrade it somewhat...so all went well after few hiccups but I cannot seem to download/install anything with playstore

Playstore ver 25.6.14-21); Play protec certification: Decvice not certified

When I try to install, just keeps saying pending! any pointers ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hello friend!

I'd recommend stopping all downloads, and waiting at least 10 minutes. Pending usually occurs when the Play Store begins downloading the latest Play Store update or when updating Play Services in the background. If the pending message remains after waiting 10 minutes feel free to open the Settings > Apps & Games > Manage All Applications and from the list select, force close, and clear the cache for the following apps:

Download Manager

Google Play Store

That should do the trick! If you need further help please do not hesitate to let us know! Hope you have a great day and best of luck! :D

I'm having an issue with disabling the navbar on a hd 8 10th gen.

So far it is only disabled in portrait mode. If rotating to landscape or 180 portrait (when reading) the navbar reappears. I have double checked that it's "disabled" and not toggled to "hidden". And I have updated toolbox to 17.1

I'm using an app called Edge Gestures for swipe navigation. It works fine in all orientations no matter if the navbar reappears. It's just rather annoying.

Am I missing something or is this normal? Is there any way I can ensure it disables no matter the orientation?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings friend!

Let's try increasing the overscan value to hide the navbar completely. Launch an ADB Shell using the the Toolbox, and execute the following command:

wm overscan 0,0,0,-202

To revert the change and restore the navigation bar use the following command:

wm overscan 0,0,0,0

That should do it! The changes should take effect immediately. Hope this helps and have a great rest of your day! :D

Hey I was wondering if someone could help me. I recently got the Fire HD 10, and I used the Fire Toolbox setup on it. But now that I've done it, For some reason the internet wont properly connect on it. The internet is working fine on other devices. It keeps trying and it says 'obtaining IP address' but it ends up saying 'ip configuration failure'. I would like help resolving this
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] JBeazy:
Thank you for responding.

This kind of worked. -202 was too much. It ended up chopping off half the keyboard when typing. But using -65 as the last value did work.

Unfortunately this didn't help. The nav bar still reappears if I rotate the screen into landscape and 180 degree in portrait for reading.

It fixed the issue of it randomly coming back in regular portrait mode but I was hopeful it would resolve it no matter it's orientation.

Would there possibly be something else to try? I really do appreciate the help.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] c-f-g:
Hello Sir,

this was the first thing I tested. It states the following:

However it seems to me, that the user is not taken into account. I was attempting to do this on the newest HD 10.

Greetings 😊

If you're on it anyways (at least I hope so) maybe you will want to consider some suggestions:

-when I chose manually, it doesn't show me the current status of the packages - would be nice to have those selected that are enabled at the moment

-it would be nice to apply the changes to all user profiles (maybe as a default?)

-i really like to just delete some of the packages and don't think of them again, but this should be an expert setting i guess

Hi

I installed Google with Toolbox and deactivated many Amazon apps. Everything is working fine.

Thanks for your great work.

Now i wanted to install an online banking app. Installation works but not login.

I think it has to do with certification.

Can someone help me? "Device is not Play Protect certified"

I tried everything, unfortunately without success.

Google Service Framework (GSF) ID entered:

Sign in - Google Accounts

Gogle Play Service and Google Play Store : cache and data cleared. Device restarted.

It doesn't work.

Thank-you

Yep, I installed the Toolbox on my Fire HD 10 2019, and now Alexa is broken. You call the device, and Alexa FC's or has other issues such as reporting user unavailable.

I would like to uninstall Alexa from the device, and install it from the Play Store, but the Alexa app doesn't show up in the play store.

Anyone know if you can uninstall Alexa from the device and install the Play Store wersion?

It would be great if I could search this thread for help, but XDA's new forum is one hulking broken piece of gargage, with a totally broken search thread function, and a forum with a broken serach is absolutely useless.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jkk4life:
I've installed google play services with firetoolbox on my son's Firetablet 8 2020 edition. No matter what I do there are several "freemium" games that won't load ads. Normally that would be great, however he is getting frustrated since actually watching the ads would help him win the games faster, get hints, etc. There is one particular game that even when I but the premium content, it won't identify I did it. I'm assuming it's because these aren't completely compatible with this tablet, but just wondering if there any workaround to this at all?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jkk4life:
Nah have it installed don't think it's anything to do with that. Ads work on some games but not others, seems totally random.

Hey @Datastream33,

Anyone having issues with the bloatware showing up again on Fire 7", 9th generation tablet, after Fire did an update? I did use V. 17.1 and it worked. Several hours later in the evening, I opened the tablet and all the bloatware was back, and the Fire indicated it had updated. Any suggestions? I'll link to the video I followed in case I'm missing something, I mean besides a marble or two :unsure::giggle: Remove bloatware w/Amazon Fire Toolbox V17.1
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings friend!

I'd 100℅ recommend disabling OTA Updates. Open the Toolbox, click the > button to access the second page, execute the Modified System Settings tool, and from the list toggle off OTA Updates. That should do the trick!

If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks and have a great day! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
My pleasure friend, have a wonderful day! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] G0ldengirl68:
I saw that, and that's the one that I decided not to disable!! Thank you @Datastream33, you have a great day too :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
It's my pleasure friend! In addition, thanks so much! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:

Hi... just noting that it's been a few days since I posted a reply HERE. Any thoughts? (Did I just not see a response?) (Thanks!)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I just realized, it's probably not referring to a missing library in the debug version but the exact opposite. Here's how they compare (libraries they use):

Debug Version:

com.amazon.device.settings.sdk.internal

Retail Version:

acclibrarycom.amazon.client.metrics.api
com.amazon.dcp.contracts
com.amazon.dcp.contracts.framework
com.amazon.device.settings.sdk.internal
eaclibrary
retaildemoapi
com.amazon.communication

Yeah, it seems the debug version is indeed missing a lot of the libraries the retail version has. If the downgrade doesn't work then I'm not sure what to do. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hold up, the "pm list packages" command didn't return a match? That's strange... maybe the unifiedfacebook share app is hidden? Truthfully, I don't know what's going on. Honestly, I'd try a factory reset next and see if that fixes things.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Grumphus:
Greetings. Thank you so much for developing this tool. I encountered no problems putting in the Play Store on my newly purchased Amazon Fire HD 10 (2019).

I just want to ask if this tool supports putting the Play Store in a child's profile via Freetime/Amazon Kids? Or do I do this manually? Is this practice still encouraged as my goal is to apply the screen time feature to paid apps and games from the Play Store. Thank you!

"ParentalControlHide can collect all of the text you type, except passwords. This includes personal data such as credit card numbers. It can also collect data about your interactions with Fire"

whaaa?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings my friend!

Yeah, Accessibility services have access to a lot of things that can allow them to collect personal data, but i'd vouch that ParentalControlHide doesn't as far as i'm aware. As far as the message goes, it will appear when starting any accessibility service. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns! :D

Somewhere, I think in the Amazon Fire Toolbox installation site, I read if you didn't find the name of your Fire (version) to ask for help anyway. Meaning that they would see if they could figure something out, was how I took it. But I'm sure you'll get a response to your question.

I found it ;) Here is the link and the message below is down the page a bit https://xdaforums.com/t/windows-tool-fire-toolbox-v17-0.3889604/

Frequently Asked Questions:

» I don't see my tablet listed in the supported devices, how can I request support to be added?

* For the requested tablet to be supported, we need a little more information from you in order to add support. Please download this .zip file, extract the folder within the zip to the desktop, and run the Identify.bat (make sure your tablet is plugged into the PC) file to get the code name of the device. Once the code name is found by the tool, press any key to copy it to the clipboard. Now reply to the forum with the code name, and the tablet's complete name. See the example below for reference:

I've been having an odd issue I can't find a solution to. On my Fire hd10 (2019), the download manager tells me, at least once a day, it failed to update google play services (or sonething similar).

My play store is version 25.1.24-16, in case that helps. Also, I reinstalled the google services, but the message still pops up. What can I do in this situation?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings my friend!

Hmm, after my tablet updated itself to Android 9 its been doing the same thing. Could be a lack of permissions?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Datastream's unfortunate system update may have been a blessing for the rest of us. Now he'll have to deal with the problems that people have been having with Google Services and find the root cause just so his own tablet will work properly.

I don't envy your position Datastream33. I'm always willing to run compatibility tests on my HD 10 (2019) Maverick running FW 7.3.1.2. if you'd like. (I usually check the board by 9am EDT)

edit: I don't think it's android 9 specifically that's causing the problem because my f/w v7.3.1.2 is also on android 9 but is working fine with the new Google packages in TB v17.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] EvilGato:
Hello there.

Hopefully something can be done. While not a big deal, it is somewhat annoying to see the message from time to time.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
1. Try opening the Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all apps > Show system

2. Scroll down until you find "Download Manager", tap on it and tap the "FORCE STOP" button.

3. Now tap on "Storage" and then "CLEAR STORAGE"

That should clear up the notification. In addition, if your tablet updated to Android 9 recently I'd highly recommend manually uninstalling Play Services (Play Store, Play Framework, Account Manager, Play Services) and re-installing using the Toolbox. Best of luck friend and if you need further help please don't hesitate to ask! :D

i'm assuming this is coming in the next update? :)

just traded HD10 for the 2021 version (got the latest update installed) and everything went smooth except for 2 very minor things. i'm quoting you on the 1st one (since i couldn't figure out how to remove that useless Dashboard icon ha) and the 2nd one: on every reboot there's a notification with an icon of a bell that says "Alexa Video Player" and nothing else. it goes away on it's own after about 20 seconds or so. i got Alexa disabled and Google Assistant installed instead. thanks!

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] SJMarty:
Hello all,

I was wondering if there is a post/document anywhere that lists the commands that are being sent in the background to accomplish some of the configuration changes that Fire Toolbox does.

Let me explain a little...

I have two Fire HD 10 tablets - one 2017 and one 2019. I have them set up identically with Nova Launcher. The 2017 one has no problems. The 2019 one only gives me the Nova home screen about half the time I press the home button. The other times, it goes to (and stays on) the default Fire/Amazon home screen. I've run the following command manually and it seems to address the issue...

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.firelauncher

Unfortunately, after a relatively short period of time, the tablet goes back to only giving me the Nova home screen half of the time.

So, I'm just looking for some of the commands that are being sent behind the scenes to help me troubleshoot this particular issue. Any guidance or links to other threads with this type of stuff in it would be very appreciated as my searches have not been successful.

Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] specterflare:
@SJMarty

Have you turned off OTA updates (over-the-air updates)? If not, then every time that your fire tablet updates the launcher, it reinstalls it and resets it as your default. I had some trouble with this until I turned off the setting, and now it stays on Smart Launcher forever.

Also, the command I use is

adb shell pm disable-user com.amazon.firelauncher

I'm not sure if dropping the user 0 part has any actual effect, but it's what works for me, so maybe try that too?
