Have you tried an earlier version of DS Video? It may be an incompatibility problem with the android version on the tablet. There are several versions available on apkpure.

Edit: On looking at your error message, it appears that DS Photo already owns one of the permissions being requested by DS Video. You may need to uninstall both DS Photo and DS Video, and then try to install DS Video first, before installing DS Photo. It's just a guess because I've never used either app.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I just installed DS Video from the apkpure app on my tablet. It installed smoothly with no problems. It launches, but I don't have a synology NAS to test it with. I'm on a Fire HD 10 (2019) with 7.3.1.2 firmware if that's of any interest.

I also tried downloading v 3.4.5 from the apkpure site and installing it via the file browser on the tablet. Also no problems. I would look into DS Photo and any other apps by DS because the problem seems to be there.

Who currently owns the 2021 FireHD 10? has anyone run adia64 on it ? is it still running the same $hitty 32-64bit Os hybrid mode?

Have you disabled Amazon System Webview by any chance?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Monkeymann:
I'll give that a go thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Monkeymann:
DS Photo wasn't on the device, so I just did a complete reset and it now installs. Thanks for your help. (y)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Funny, the error said that DS Photo already owned the permission HISTORY_DATA that DS Video was trying to declare. I'm still learning about these android permissions so what do I know? Glad you got it working. 🍻

I just downloaded 26.1 portable (exe wont download). it wont check for updates or (mor importantly) download anything. tried running as admin, and turning off windows firewall and real time protection but still no cigar. what should I do?

edit: apparently turkey isps block them, resolved using vpn

I am using Fire 8 (7th gen). After installing google services with fire toolbox, I tried logging in with a supervised kid account but somehow it is not possible to finish the process. Anyone knows how? Or any alternative way of restricting google play access (with a pin? or something) so my kid cannot install stuff without my approval?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] trezznor:
thank yu for the very helpful way you put it
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] itakucrysis:
since any other method is not working on the firehd 10, can anybody tell me how the cmd looks like for smart launcher to reroute?

i meant this cmd: "

nohup logcat -c; logcat | grep --line-buffered 'flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.amazon.firelauncher/.Launcher' | while read line; do am start com.citc.asap; done &"​

where do i send this? through adb i guess?

thanks in advance
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] andytgeezer:
Since the dreaded 7.3.2.2 landed, I've been on this forum at least once a week to see if the devs have managed to find a way around this. I use Fire tablets in my classes at a primary school and the only thing that makes them usable is Fire Toolbox and this saves us a significant amount of money.

I think I read somewhere on this forum that Amazon have done this before and that it might be that a future version will turn this back. Obviously we don't have a crystal ball, so it would be impossible to guess, but what are the chances of this happening? How many times has this happened before?

I'm wondering, what's the best thing to do now? Do I buy as many as I can in the hope that they have the older OS on or wait it out?

Very frustrating!

I want to also take this chance to say THANKS to the great devs who made this. Without it, my kids wouldn't have the kit they need in the classroom, cos we just wouldn't be able to afford it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jinx100:
Not sure this will help. I bought a blue Fire HD8 from a big box store two months ago. It was marked Lot code: E130 and had a pre 7.3.2.2 operating system. I'm not sure whether the code corresponds to a manufacture date.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Buying from a big box store is a way to get a pre-7.3.2.2 tablet. They're farther down the food chain and won't get updated tablets till much later than Amazon has them. With supply chain issues as they are, they'll either have older stock or no stock.

How to get Pluto TV to work?

I dl from Playstore, then it say I need to run from Amazon, but I have uninstall Amazon app using the Recommended setting from the Toolbox.

Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Uninstall the PlutoTV app from the Google playstore. Next, run Toolbox and under Manage Amazon Apps > Manual tab (Simple) > Restore Apps tab, select Amazon Appstore and Apply Selected. You'll have your appstore back. :) Install Pluto from there. I have Pluto TV on my tablet and it works fine.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] SSyar:
Fantastic., took me less than five minute to get Google play services, debloat of Amazon Apps and Nova launcher..
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Toolbox, my friend! Makes me so happy to read! Hope you have a good day/night! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Dang, I thought Amazon only sold the tablets on their website? Just out of curiosity, could you specify which store you found the tablets in?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yep, just run that command through a shell, and you'll be good to go! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Really? That's weird that your ISP would block the downloads. Anyway, glad to see you were able to find a workaround! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, interesting!

It looks like the two apps (DS Video and DS Photo) both declare the custom permission: "PERMISSION_HISTORY_DATA" and as a result DS Video won't install until DS Photo is uninstalled. This is likely because the apps have different signatures, and I don't think that's allowed with custom permissions? :unsure:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jinx100:
I bought the tablet online through Best Buy. Target also sells Fire tablets. The sticker is on the bottom of the box and also mentions the power adapter output so I hope this information applies to the tablet, not just the adapter. There are no other stickers on the box.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] chong67:
I got mine from the QVC store last week. It was $49 and I use a $15 coupon for new cust. I got my tablet yesterday for $38 with tax. I like the size. I sold my Samsung Tab S7 few weeks ago, I didnt like the big size. Yes, the screen is nice, but the Fire HD is even cheaper.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
HD 10 11th gen, I saw some review videos of this tablet where the navigation buttons are closer together, which I'm used to and prefer (as opposed to how far apart it is -see screenshot) Is this how it is on everyone's? I didn't see with the nav bar changer in the tooibox where it can change it to that, and looks like the apps available for modifying the nav bar don't accomplish that. Just curious, is it the Nova launcher, or Android 9, Amazon?

Thanks! :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Dallasdondarrion:
I have an HD 10 11th Gen, and whether I have the stock launcher or Nova, my buttons are nowhere near as far apart as yours.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Thanks. Hopefully someone will know why mine is like that :confused:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I don't know why your navbar buttons are so far apart, but it's easy to modify them. See post 5255 and post 5261.

If the spacing is not to your liking or you get an error, try substituting commas for the semicolons or eliminating the beginning and trailing "space" command

The command in ADB Shell is:

settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,back;home;recent,space"
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] khan95osu:
Can I save a profile/template to be able to provision multiple devices with the same settings? I have 10 tablets I will need to setup
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Thanks @blaacksheep Odd, as I didn't do anything I'm aware of that it's spaced so far apart. Will try your suggestion
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
That's the basic command for the stock layout. You can add some preceding and trailing "space,space,space" to it for a more condensed appearance, and those semicolons in the middle might not work right, so use commas if you get an error. I don't really know what the difference is. Also, the order is changeable if you like the recents on the left or you want to eliminate a button. Customize!

Be sure to try it in landscape mode too. Some combos don't work well in landscape.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Thanks. That's pretty much how I always use tablets, in landscape. I will try it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] coolarun1980:
experts please help me. I have latest fire os on fire HD10 2021 11th gen. I followed instruction and was able to install google services and change home screen by installing Nova. But everytime I press home button launcher reset back to fire standard. then i have to launch Nova again. This is inconvenience and pretty much useless for me. Any suggestion what i am doing wrong. Also while installing Nova only option in toolkit was to hide fire launcher. there was no way to disable. Also, I am not able to disable OTA updates. please help.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Tried to find info for this -prob only used ADB once before and not with this program, but I was thinking in the toolbox where I select ADB I just enter at the cursor, but I'm not able to type in there -sorry if it's something that's already been asked.

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
You just open the tool and start typing.

The output of the command appears below.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Thanks a lot, was thinking at the cursor prompt at the line below, wasn't sure -will try!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
No, it outputs there. You issue your commands in the upper box.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Thanks! Just tried it, it works, though it brings back the Dashboard icon -when I go to remove the icon, it reverts back to the spaced apart on the nav bar :unsure: maybe I have to live with the Dashboard icon there, though don't understand why it's like that on my device, don't know if anyone else has the problem. I wonder if a factory reset and starting fresh might help
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I've never had any experience dealing with the device dashboard because I'm on 7.3.1.2 and it didn't exist back then. Have you tried Toolbox Main Menu (pg 2) > Modify System Settings > System UI tab > Device Dashboard Icon: Hidden? If that doesn't work, you could try searching this thread for "device dashboard". There have been questions and solutions to various problems.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] cocokola:
See my post above

Well, I did, but how does one uninstall google services? the tool can't
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ah, Best Buy and Target... yeah, that makes sense! :D

As for the sticker, are you referring to the one with the UPC and DSN on it? Hmm, never noticed the Lot Code on the sticker before!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jinx100:
Yes, that is the sticker. The Lot Code: E130 is just below the DSN number on mine.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MrKaon:
It will stay apart if you hidden Dash button.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Thanks, I'm seeing that is the case, that if I remove the the dashboard icon they are spaced wide -but am I the only one having that problem? :unsure:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I've done some experimentation on my tablet. See if this works for you.

for minimal spacing between buttons:

settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,back,home,recent,space"

for wide spacing:

settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,back;home;recent,space"

Edit: For this to work, you may need to tick/check the "Start ADB Shell Tool in CMD" setting in Toolbox's configuration. (The gear in the top-right of the main menu.)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Thanks -at first ADB Shell was working, but then was getting an error message every time, Invalid request, but using Start ADB Shell Tool in CMD works -but every time I use the toolbox to hide the Dashboard icon at Modify System Settings > System UI tab > Device Dashboard Icon: Hidden, it reverts back to spaced far apart. Maybe it's a glitch with 7.3.2.2 that I'll have to live with? But definitely better not having them spaced so far apart.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Yeah, I won't install 7.3.2.2 so I can't tell you what that does. Maybe someone else who has 7.3.2.2 installed and is having the same situation as you could help out. I suspect that it might be the command @Datastream33 is using to hide the Device dashboard icon that is affecting the spacing. If so, try hiding it, then adjusting the spacing last. That might work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] trav06:
I assume there's still no way to get Family Link working on these?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] kmo12345:
I just bought a bunch of Fire HD8 and I am getting errors installing Nova using Toolbox V26.1

I downgraded to Toolbox V13.0 and the Nova install works fine.

The tablets are running 7.3.1.9

The error message is on the second step of the Nova launcher installation

It says error "Performing Streamed Install". I wonder if I should update to 7.3.2.1?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
IMO, you're best off keeping the older version of FireOS installed, rather than updating to 7.3.2.1. You seem to have Nova installed and working. If there's a newer version of Nova that you want, you can install it directly from the Play Store or from a third-party site like apkpure or apkmirror or the like. For that matter, you can install any launcher from those places now that you've disabled Fire Launcher.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
You have the problem that many have. You have the latest firmware, 7.3.2.2, and that has disabled the ability of Toolbox to remove the launcher and disable OTA updates. You'll just have to sit tight while people experiment with other ways to do something about this. There's currently no way to downgrade your firmware to an earlier version so that Toolbox will work. Try to put up with it for the time being and hope that the next version of Toolbox has some fixes. :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] kmo12345:
Thanks for the recommendation. I don't have any real need for 7.3.2.1 except I wondered if it would be compatible with the newest release of Fire Toolbox.

Does anyone have any appetite to help me figure out what the problem with the new version of Fire Toolbox and these tablets is?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Just to let you know, I'm on 7.3.1.2 (the first update after the original 7.3.1.0), and running Toolbov v26.1. It's hasn't given me any trouble and I first used Toolbox v8.0 to modify my tablet. There have been a few hiccups along the way with some versions, but they have been worked out. If you've successfully replaced your launcher, then you've already done the hard part. Now you can add as many launchers as you please and switch between them at will without using the Toolbox. What's the problem?:unsure:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Xoanon88:
If I did a factory reset to restore the original Fire OS version on my Fire HD 8 (8 Gen) currently running 7.3.2.2 and didn't connect it to the internet and then ran Toolbox and tried to disable the OTA and install Nova Launcher, would that work or would it be better to wait for a fix? Just a thought, an UGLY thought but a thought. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Unfortunately, once you've got 7.3.2.2, you've got it for good. (Kinda like herpes) A factory reset will bring you back to 7.3.2.2. You'll have to sit tight and wait for workarounds like everyone else who has it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.:confused:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Xoanon88:
Hahaha, gotcha. (y) No problem at all. I appreciate the quick response. I'm sure the brilliant minds here will find a way to circumvent Amazon's BS eventually. Just wish I'd caught it before the dum, dum, dum 7.3.2.2. update. Thanks again! :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Hey, if it's still in the return window, you could exchange it for another of a less popular color to possibly get one with an earlier OS version. Just a thought.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Xoanon88:
Nah, good thought but the return window closed on Jan 18, 2020 as it's a 2018 model but Thanks anyway!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] digixmax:
Does this toolbox work for HD10 2017 running FireOS version 5.6.9.0?

Does Nova Launcher installed with this tool has the same issue of few-second lagging delay after hitting the home button?

TỊA
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Yes, it works for your tablet:

Device Name:	Generation:
Amazon Fire 10/10+ (2021)	11
Amazon Fire 8/8+ (2020)	10
Amazon Fire 10 (2019)	9
Amazon Fire 7 (2019)	9
Amazon Fire 8 (2018)	8
Amazon Fire 10 (2017)	7
Amazon Fire 8 (2017)	7
Amazon Fire 7 (2017)	7
Amazon Fire HD8 (2016)	6
Amazon Fire HD10 (2015)	5
Amazon Fire HD8 (2015)	5
Amazon Fire HD7 (2015)	5
Amazon Fire HD7 (2014)	4
Amazon Fire HD6 (2014)	4

I believe that there is the few second delay with the home button on FireOS 5.x. Have a look through the thread with the search tool to see if there is a solution if you do have this issue.

thank you
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] wantpizza:
Hi there - love this tool. Working on a new FT 10 and apparently the tool was set to a dark theme - I think I changed it to that before I updated it etc. Anyway - ran through part of the automated Startup Tour - and my UI doesn't show any of the text that is black because of the black background. So I backed out of the auto setup feature and changed the UI. But now I can't seem to get back into the auto tour configuration. Am I missing something. It's probably easy I just cant seem to find it.

Thanks in advance,
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] LeetCode:
I ordered another Fire HD 10 PLUS...hoping it is the old version of the OS. If it is not, I basically cant install Nova Launcher right ? I can still have the play store and disable Amazon ads and bloat ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] dcooterfrog:
is it possible to clone a launcher and set its "fingerprint" to be the same as home pages or fire launcher so itis seen as an upgrade to the application.

i don't know if the file name matters, the version, or something in the manifest. maybe someone smarter than me can do this.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Hi there. Love the nickname! 🍕

To get back to the startup tour, go to the gear in the top-right corner and click it. Then tick the checkbox shown below and restart Toolbox. :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
If you have the new version (7.3.2.2) you will not be able to change the default launcher, but you can still install Nova. It just won't be what comes up when you press home. You'll be stuck with lockscreen ads. You also won't be able to disable OTA updates.

Your best bet is to not let it connect to your wifi until you've run Toolbox and disabled updates. It is known that the tablets will update immediately upon first connection in the background and then you WILL have 7.3.2.2.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] drizzt09:
Which temp are you using?

%systemdrive%\Windows\Temp.

Or

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp

I'm guessing the 1st one? May not need admin for the 2nd because it's within the users profile of the user running the program
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yes sir. It uses %systemdrive%\Windows\Local\Temp. I will have to move it to the users temp folder if it's going to work without admin rights. Despite this, is there anything else you feel needs to be addressed?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] drizzt09:
I would just say the additional apps added to the manual process that someone mentioned earlier.

I'm hoping the other error I mentioned also is caused by the admin permission issue
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, and just to clarify the apps are Amazon Newsstand and Alexa correct? Also, do you happen to know the package names of these apps? I will see if I can find them as well. I'm also hoping that the issue you mentioned earlier is resolved by the changes to the remove/restore subtools. :fingers-crossed:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok. so I've found the package names and can I have you guys confirm if this is the package name on 7th gen as well? Thanks:

Amazon Alexa - com.amazon.dee.app

Newsstand - com.amazon.kindle
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] pmckay:
Just a suggestion: I had an issue with launcher hijack, it wouldn't hijack on a Fire that was up and running and had the latest amazon patches automatically applied... Apparently Amazon put in some code to stop the launcher from working, but as I understand it, there is a new launcher hijack that gets around the amazon "fix". My circumvention was to go back to factory without supplying my wifi network password, so no amazon fixes were possible. At that point, I was able to install the launcher hijack and all the other .apks you provide and I was able to get it working again.

Thanks again for a great tool!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] drizzt09:
I see a com.amazon.kindle.cms com.amazon.kindle.kso com.amazon.kindle

Com.amazon.dee.app

As for what the other user mentioned I just got a message my launcher hijack just got blocked and disabled. But my update (on 7 2017) is 5.3.6.4 from November

Shows as disabled in pm list packages -d

Can't find it on the device physically though

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I can't get elevated privs to re-enable it. I had to uninstall it using PM uninstall. But then manual from your toolbox auto disables it again. Weird. I don't see a new version on his github. 4.0.3 shows as latest since March.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

ok so looks like amazon blocked the package name.

someone in the official xda for hijack launcher copied and renamed the package with android studio:

https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/launcher-root-launcher-hijack-v2-t3561026/page40

i downloaded it and placed in my hijack folder for your toolbox and installed that one successfully and hijack working again
