I am unable to remove the bleeding alexa icon on bottom left of tablet! I get an error when trying to install the Google assistant! says error performing streamed install!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I can't help you with Google Assistant because I don't use that or Alexa, but the 'home' icon you're referring to is a relatively new addition that can be disabled but not removed without replacing the navbar with a third-party one. Most of the ones in the appstore contain ads but you can go to apkpure or aptoid or another site and find navbars without ads.

I have version 14 installed and I want to update to 15. There should be a menu choice/button for that.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I didn't realize version 15 was out! It doesn't show up on the updater so I can only assume that it's different enough that it requires it's own installation. I'm sure when you install it, that it will offer/recommend the removal of v14.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yeah, my bad. I was going to push V15 through the Updater. Took a vacation with the family over the weekend and just got back today and didn't have time before I left.

V15 is basically V14 but with ALL the micropatches applied and a few extra features added in. I wanted to up the version simply to avoid confusion and put V14 behind us (it was a disaster).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Phazed47:
I got a replacement HD 8+ today (I dropped my old one). V15 worked great, I had used 9.1 on my old device. Couple of issues:

I can not set my Time Zone, it's stuck at GMT. I found this post by someone with the same problem (including pictures).

I did not attach an Amazon account when I powered up the device and now I can not choose Profiles from the Settings menu (nothing happens).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Just by chance, was the tablet debloatted?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Phazed47:
Yes, hence the post in this thread.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, perfect! I believe both of these issues are due to the fact that Device Setup has been disabled during the debloat process. Try following the steps in this post to restore Device Setup. It's also important to know, after restoring device Setup and attempting to access the Profiles it will ask you to register your device.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to let me know and best of luck! :D🤞

Ive got everything up and running and works awesome except one issue....I can't get push notifications to work?

Am I missing a framework? I got the battery optimization off for the certain app. Anything else I need to do?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
@Datastream33

I found a small bug in V15 for you to work on in your next update. If you go to the second page>Modify System Settings and choose System UI, go back to the menu and choose Modify System Settings again, the System UI tab doesn't work any longer. You can quit and restart the program and it works again, but only once. I just checked and it is the same on V14.2 also.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] newtonfb22:
It's Square. We run it for my local business and the push notifications for online orders doesn't come through until I hit the orders button. It should pop up as soon as there is an order. I haven't turned off the framework battery optimization I don't think so I'll try that, thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Phazed47:
You were, indeed, correct. I tried to search this post for "timezone" but did not locate that page. Ran the command from adb, then manually disabled device setup and things look OK. I did not actually want to set up a profile, just tried that to fix my TZ issue.

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ah, thank you for bringing this to my attention! I'll look into it and try to resolve it in the next update! Thanks again! :D (y)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Glad to hear everything is working as intended! Have a great day/night my friend! :D

Been having trouble reinstalling my google playstore. I noticed installing hybrid apps Disney+ and Netflix wasn't working. So I thought I needed to update my Google Play store so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it with V15 toolbox. Problem was after install it wouldn't let me login to Google Play even after clearing cache and waiting overnight for updates. Clicking on Login does nothing. I even manually sideloaded the newest Play services/framework/manager/store. Then I noticed my FireOS was from Aug 2020 so I updated that and tried installing Google Play store and it says failed to install the Play Services (downgrade error?). I tried to sideload the newest Play services. Still having a Play store login button that doesn't work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] azrael201:
when you say uninstall toolbox, do you mean from my pc? or is there a installation on the tablet as well?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] sabunassar:
Is there an issue with FTB15? The link to the EXE is gone and the ZIP points to an archive 7z? Was it pulled due to some issues?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings my friend!

No, there shouldn't be any issues with V15.0. Are the download links not working for you? As for the archive, you will need 7zip to extract the archive. However, If you don't want to get 7zip I'd be more then happy to supply a .zip version.

benutzt. Es läuft einwandfrei.

Gibt es vorteile wenn ich es

noch einmal mit der

Fire Toolbox V15.0​

Mache?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I think the main thing that you would gain would be newer versions of Google Services and Google Framework. Also there is a new version of Vanced (YouTube replacement) and a keyboard replacement option was added (Hacker's Keyboard).

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Schöne Grüße!

Ich würde die Aktualisierung auf Fire Toolbox V15.0 uneingeschränkt empfehlen, da hier einige neue Funktionen verfügbar sind und die Installation von Google Services für Ihre Android-Version erleichtert wird. Dies stellt sicher, dass Ihr Gerät Inhalte herunterladen kann, die Sie bereits im Play Store gekauft haben, und dass Sie die aktuellsten Versionen der Play Service APKs ausführen. Weitere Vorteile finden Sie im Änderungsprotokoll von V14.0 bis V15.0!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Greetings!

I'd totally recommend updating to Fire Toolbox V15.0 as it brings some new features to the table, and helps install Google Services related to your Android version. This ensures your device is able to download content you've already purchased from the Play Store and ensures you are running the most up to date versions of the Play Service APKs. For additional benefits make sure you see the changelog from V14.0 up to V15.0!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] sabunassar:
It's working now. Previously, OneDrive page came up with error like "File no longer available ..etc".

Thanks for the work on this wonderful tool.

I dont have 7zip and am kind of partial to windows' native zip functionality, do you have a regular zip of this utility?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Understandable my friend. I've attached the .zip version to this post. Have a great night! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] XRaiderV18:
many thanks good sir, now I just await the arrival of my new toy(fire hd 10) which will be here tomorrow.

understandably I'll be testing it first before I monkey with it ^^ (on the off chance a swap is needed, always wise with these new fangled PADDs)

cyber cookies to whoever gets the reference ^^
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] faustus 16:
Hi I am very new to this. I have a Fire 7 9th Gen. I watched the Youtube installing guide and followed it. I have Toolbox V15 Everything was going well until I tried to install Google Services and I keep getting a message Installation failure. I am using Win 10. I read through the post and saw others getting this problem - is there a solution. I am not as tech savvy as most so please bear with me! Thanks in advance for any help
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
From the posts I've read, the problem seems to work itself out by the next day without user action. I think that Google Services will download whatever it needs and the problem goes away. I've seen those posts too, and they seem to be followed-up the next day with another post saying everything was okay. YMMV.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] faustus 16:
Hi Thank you for reply. I started yesterday and the same problem today! I'll try again tomorrow!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] azrael201:
I tried reinstalling FTB15 and uninstalling google and reinstalling it. I still get failed to install Google Services "failure to downgrade" error.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Try uninstalling the apps manually. Open settings > Apps & Notifications > Manage All Applications and *uninstall the following apps:

Google Account Manager

Google Play Services

Google Services Framework

Google Play Store

Reboot your tablet, and try re-installing using the Toolbox. Best of luck my friend and let us know if you need further help. :D🤞
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Let me ask a simple question. How many of you are running Linux as your daily driver? 🤔

Just asking for a friend... ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Windows 7 on 1 comp,

Linux Mint 20.1 on the other.

(but I have VM's on both machines running the other OS🤫)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Mint? That's my boy! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Same! Except, I've got Windows 8.1 instead. lol.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Manjaro huh? Is it a good distro?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] faustus 16:
Hi

Hi i saw a video posted on this site which shows you how to install the Google stuff via a website you download the 4 apps separately and in order. It worked so I think I'll quit while I am ahead!! Thanks again for replying
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DB126:
Anyone figure out how to get Gboard voice typing working on 9th gen HD10? Initializes but then immediately shuts down. Device and Play Services up-to-date.

Does not seem to be a popular topic based on search hits. Not seeking alternatives; no need to respond unless you have specific info on the question posed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Dragon Kumera:
Fire hdx 8.9 compatibility?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] XRaiderV18:
yeah I too encountered this, kinda why I swapped back to the fire's native keyboard(not a fan of it) as I find myself using the voice to text function ALOT.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DB126:
Yep - same here. I prefer Gboard out of familarity but end up sliding back to the default keyboard on Amazon devices as voice input is more efficient ... at least for my aging fingers (even with the inevitable corrections to voice inputs).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] zba78:
Just got another new HD 10 tablet and used the v15 Toolbox and just wanted to say thanks for such an amazing app. Previously I'd only used v8 which also worked fine but now it's even better.

So thanks again to the devs, in just a few mins I went from an Amazon-in-your-face branded tablet to something resembling a standard Android one.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I tried getting it to work on my HD 10 (2019) unsuccessfully. I ran across this posting in Amazon's help section about the HDX 8.9.

https://www.amazonforum.com/s/quest...oice-dictation-speech-to-text-stopped-working

Now we just have to figure out what they removed and put it back!

NEW Fire HD 10 (2021) model (4 gigs of ram instead of 2 gigs)

Has anyone tried the Fire Toolbox on the NEW Fire HD 10 (2021) model with 4 gigs of ram? The toolbox works great on my 2019 Fire HD but I was figuring on maybe getting the Fire HD 10 with 4 gigs of ram. Thx.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I didn't even know they had a new one out. 4 Gigs, huh? Cool. I'll check it out.

Edit: Okay, it's the new HD 10 Plus. It's going to be available on May 26th. The lowest price model is the 64GB model for $179.99 USD. Link

Edit 2: Amazon Prime Day is July 15-16 according to my calendar, but that's not for certain. Maybe they'll have good deals then.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, a new Fire Tablet you say? I wasn't aware of a new release but it sounds awesome nonetheless!

The Toolbox doesn't support the new tablet, but I'd be more then happy to add support when the device is released in May. If you do pick up one would you mind helping by providing the codename of the tablet so support can be added? Thanks so much friend! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
4GB of RAM huh? That would be quite nice as far as Fire Tablets go! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Huh, maybe I'll have to try distro hopping soon and give it a go.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, that's strange!

Anyways, glad to hear it's working A-ok now! Have a great night! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings!

Notifications are generally dicey with Fire Tablets. I'm not quite sure if anyone has found a way around this issue or not. You've tried @blaacksheep's suggestions with no luck?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] bals2oo8:
I did. I also tried the -k variance and got the same error

Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

I also tried to just Amazon removal option again to see and it's all still there. :/
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] klausb65:
It could be possible for some apps the "parental control hide" is not working. For example if you have watchmaker installed and try to add a graphic to a face, you'll get a parental control error. So keep in mind it could also be for other applications.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] quintuxv:
Well, I ended up trying to uninstall using a root shell, then Remove Everything worked. If you're willing, try that.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] thedauntlessone:
I am having troubles with the parental controls hide option.

For my first boot up

1) install Google services

2) remove everything amazon

3) install Nova launcher and Gboard before the program uninstalled Amazon launcher/keyboard

4) install parental controls hide

Every control I pressed on in Nova launcher resulted in the parental message flashing really quickly. None of the controls worked (home, back, etc). Decided to reset and try again.

Second time

1) remove everything Amazon minus launcher and keyboard

2) install Google services

3) install youtube

4) block OTA updates

5) parental controls hide

In this instance, the Amazon launcher works, but there are a lot of options I cannot access. The parental message flashes very quickly like before, and some reason I cannot install anything in Google Play.

Note: when the program says "Launching Accessibility Settings" it doesn't actually open the settings. In fact, I cannot access the settings until I reboot. Happens in both instances.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, I'm assuming you are on a 7th gen device... correct. Well, what I think needs to be done is.to cut back on the removed apps for the 7th gen and once comfortable start touching other system apps (or not if we like where we are). I will work on this and see what I can get done. :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] cobyman7035:
great app! if u can somehow get a ROOT option that be superb! thx , disabling all the amazon stuff is the 2nd best option u got... that no ads youtube is much better then smartYOUtube app which i find lags too much, pretty much unusable on HDfiretablet 8inch

how to enable amazon appstore again? i tried this:

pm enable com.amazon.vanezia

doesn't work for me..error msg

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] tenshiru:
First of all, thank you so much for creating this tool! :D Much appreciated!

I have a Fire HD10 and downloaded the 3.2 version. ADB driver is installed. When running the toolbox, I see a message that HD10 2017 found but I can't read the menu at all once loaded. Then it just runs with the message from 2nd screenshot without me pressing or clicking anything.

Can anyone advise me on what I'm doing incorrectly? Please see screenshots attached.

Thanks in advance.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
It seems the button plugin has been removed. I would guess one or two things has happened. My first guess is that the installer you downloaded became corrupted during the download/extract process. Second guess is that your antivirus has removed the button plugin because it injects buttons into Command Prompt (which could seem as an attack to your antivirus). This is very common and I've heard a lot of other people are reporting their AVs are blocking the Toolbox because of some scripts in it seem as viruses. I would recommend disabling your antivirus and try running the Toolbox again. If that doesn't work, try downloading V3.2 from the first Mirror. Let me know how it goes! Thanks! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] frozenstuff:
This tool worked amazingly, thank you!

edit: The parental controls pop up does the brief flashing, but I don't mind.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] bals2oo8:
I did, but that didn't seem to work either. For some reason I'm also losing access to SU via shell. KingoRoot shows that the device is still rooted, though, and if I rerun the root, I can access it via shell, but get the same error regardless.

What's interesting is that my wife's 2017 HD10 is running the latest version from Amazon (5.3.6.4) and hers removed everything Amazon without issue, even without rooting it first, until I tried to open the Settings.. now it's just a black screen, though .

Edit: Restarting the device caused the settings to appear again and seem to be working. I did find that I couldn't install the Amazon app from the Play store, though. I'll work on that next.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] neodenjin:
Should a person update their HD10 to run the latest version before running this tool?

Is there an order in which an individual should be running these programs in? If so, it would be super helpful to add this to the OP to help newbies like me.

Something like this?

1. Unpack fresh Fire Tablet HD10 from box

2. Turn on fire tablet, intentionally enter an incorrect password to your wifi so that you can bypass the auto update

3. Turn on USB debugging. Install ADB drivers on your PC

4) install Google services using your tool. Use google play to download Nova Launcher and gboard and netflix on the tablet

5) Use the tool to remove everything Amazon including launcher and keyboard

5.5) install the nova launcher and gboard

6) install youtube

7) block OTA updates

8) parental controls hide

Is there a recommended sequence or set of steps? No root is required or recommended?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Winnugami:
Toolbox Conundrum

So I picked up a Fire HD10 2017 to play around with (figured it was cheap enough that if I bricked one of them I wouldn't be out too much)and I tried to use this toolbox kit. Well I sideloaded in nova launcher and removed everything amazon and the tablet reloaded with a black screen. It didnt look like it was using any launcher at all. The home button just gave me some parental control error. So I tried to reload everything Amazon and now it just sits on the Fire logo on the boot up screen without going past it. So, do you guys got any ideas or did I just junk it?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] drizzt09:
On the second page is a parental controls button to fix that one. But ya now you look like you are stuck with current setup. But in the first page of the tool is a reset option inside the power options button. This will reset to actors and you can start over
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] gorm4660:
Temp Root Shell

Ran the No lock screen ads, a nd doing fine last 8 hours, allso just ran block all OTA's and will see what happens with that. THank you very much for the tool greatly appreciated.

Another question, can ther temp root shell be made permanent (as in rooted Fire HD 8 6th gen) permanent by adding supersu, or another way to do so?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Winnugami:
Alright, rebooted into a factory reset and fixed it. Next question, is it possible to get SOME of the apps removed with "remove everything amazon" back?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] R3SiEViL:
on the fire hd8 the remove everything amazon actually disables the apps, so they don't run, but you can re-enable the ones u want or need, some info around page 43-45. I had an issue installing netflix from google play so i enabled amazon app store and downloaded it from there.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] nirogu325:
Psst...that apk is also available at the apkmirror website.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] drizzt09:
Why get it from a 3rd party site when you can get it from a legit source? This way you can get updates for Netflix
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] bytes2bits:
That definitely worked for me on my HD 8 (2018). If you are on the same model maybe try it again after a reboot? I can't recall if I rebooted or not in between. I know I used the standard shell (as opposed to temp root shell).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] cobyman7035:
thx i'll try sometime when i reboot! i have apps that wont work unless i have amazon appstore installed! i bought a lot of apps free with coins back then but they deleted all my coins! hoarded them free lol
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
No problem at all my friend!

How'd it go with the Fire HD 10?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Could you please elaborate further regarding the error you are receiving, so I can understand how to better assist? Thanks so much! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Unfortunately not, various tests and experiments lead to no results. Couldn't get it to work no matter what I tried. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yeah, that sounds pretty accurate as to why it no longer works. As to what they removed... 🤔
