white panel, no buttons

hi, i installed the Fire toolbox. installed Android ADB interface driver. enabled USB debugging on the tablet and put it into File USB mode. when opening up Amazon Fire Toolbox i get connection to the tablet and granted debugging privileges and the tablet, but the program is completely blank - just white panel with black outlines where (i suppose) the buttons are. no visible letters. the cursor only changes to hand in the bottom of the panel, and hovering info that this gather information about your devices appears. when i click this i get popup The Toolbox is currently gathering information about your device. This could take a few seconds. everything gets stuck at this point. i am using windows 7 pro and Fire 10 2019. anyone knows whats happening?

Hi guys! I'm having a small issue with the "Disable Everything Amazon" option and my Moko Bluetooth keyboard functionality on an Amazon Fire 10 (2019) - Maverick:

- When Everything Amazon is enabled, the keyboard works just fine. However, when I disable everything Amazon app, the keyboard is shown as connected to the device as an input device, but it doesn't get any key or function detected. I tried to forget it and reconnect it, changing the keyboard to Gboard, Swiftkey and so on, but it didn't work.

- The issue, however, was solved when I re-installed only the Amazon Launcher -with every other Amazon app disabled, even Fire Keyboard-. Then, the keyboard works perfectly again.

Is there a way to remove the Amazon Launcher without killing my keyboard functionality? Thanks in advance for all your help! you are doing an amazing job!

Two Suggestions

Hey there, [MENTION=8560782]Datastream33[/MENTION]. I had two little quality-of-life suggestions for the toolbox.

1) Would it be possible to have the toolbox auto-delete the older version after updating it? Like if it updated from 6.56 to 6.57, and then deleted 6.56. It's by no means an arduous task to do it manually, but it would be a nice little feature.

2) At the top of the toolbox, centered above all the options, is the version number, but it only goes to one decimal place. So if you have 6.57, it only shows 6.5.

Thank you so much for continuing to develop this amazing tool!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Linus X.:
I am having the same issue with Microsoft launcher on a Fire HD 8 7th gen.

I already tried to toggle Parental Control twice, as someone suggested here, but that didn't help.

Any suggestions? :confused:

Great tool btw! :good:

Cheers!

No problem at all friend! Glad you find the Toolbox useful! :good::D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
1. Funny you should mention that... I was thinking the same exact thing! That could surely be a possibility for the next update, I'll add it to the to-do list! :D

2. That's due to an error on my part actually. It's simply a label that just needed to be updated to reflect the version number. I must have missed it somehow. :p

Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying the Toolbox!

In addition, thank you for the suggestions!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yes it is supported.

Here is the download link.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
As far as I'm aware the delay is a part of Fire Launcher and will occur if Fire Launcher is enabled. However, hiding Fire Launcher doesn't help as Parental Controls is triggered when FL isn't present. If you'd like you can hide FL and use Parental Controls Hide on the second page of the Toolbox. This service when configured simply taps the "OK" button when it appears as fast as it can.

Perhaps try giving this a go and if that doesn't yield desired results Launcher Hijack can also be used but the 5 second delay may still remain. There is also a Fire Launcher downgrade process that works but must be applied via ADB every time the device is restarted.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] sleepyhound:
Hi, sorry for the late reply... new to the forum. Yeah, after a fresh install and only installing Play Services the store was acting weird... Every time I pressed Install on an app in my library it would refresh the whole list which was pretty annoying, as I'd have to scroll down and get to the next item I wanted to install. Additionally when I tried to install any apps in my library that were purchased and not free, it prompted me to purchase them again before installing.

I removed my post because I resolved it by just uninstalling and re-installing Play services through the toolbox, so I figured it was just something that went funky with my install process. After reinstalling both the refresh and purchased apps issues were resolved. Sorry for the confusion.

Anyway, great work! I donated a little while ago, really appreciate this toolbox. Thanks again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ah, I see. I just wanted to make sure everything was good on your end and everything was working as intended. Well, at least if someone has this issue they can rest in the fact that there is a known solution. Thank you for the report and the donation as well my friend! I REALLY do appreciate it! Please have a fantastic day my friend and stay safe! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Were you able to fix the issue you were having with the volume buttons? Just checking in to make sure everything is OK.

[MENTION=8560782]Datastream33[/MENTION] Does this work for the Amazon Fire TV Edition smart TVs?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Unfortunately, the Toolbox only supports Fire Tablets as of now. I'm sorry. But who knows, maybe support for smart TVs, and Fire Sticks will be added in the future. Only time will tell... ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Linus X.:
Thanks for your help!

The first option somehow didn't work. I still got the "parental control" message.

So I am now using the launcher hijack option. It's a bit annoying that I it's going back to fire launcher and I have to wait for 5secs before microsoft launcher appears.

Is there a guide how to do that fire launcher downgrade? I don't reboot my tablet often, so that could be a good option.

Btw, can we hope for that "root" feature to work anytime soon, or better be happy with what we have?

Cheers,

Linus X.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I'm actively working on the root features slowly. It may be some time as I'm focused on bettering the existing tools. Root features will rollout sometime in the near future. As for the downgrade of Fire Launcher I'm working on adding it directly into the Toolbox as an option for gens 7-4. If you'd like to proceed with the steps manually please let me know and I'll provide a reference. Thanks and have a great day my friend! :D

Volume buttons issue

Yes thank you, it appeared to be an issue either pre-patch or while using MS-Teams. Either way thank very much, the tool is amazing.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Try downloading the attached .zip file, extract, and run the .bat file. This batch file will clear the ADB directory and kill ADB and APKInstall. This should clear up your issue.

Make sure you close the Toolbox and reboot your tablet before executing the batch file.

Please let me know if this works, or if you need further help. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Oh, I see. Glad things are working out... and I'm glad that you are enjoying the Toolbox! It's what makes it all worthwhile! :D

Thank you! I'm glad you think so! :D

Donations are wonderful and I'm severely GRATEFUL to everyone who has provided donations. However, its not why I'm here... I'm here to hopefully make a change and help people take back control of their devices. Based on your post I guess I'm doing something right! ;)

Could you please tell me location of the Netflix apk, I can't find it.

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
You should be able to find Netflix in the Hybrid Apps tool.

Once downloaded from the Hybrid Apps tool you can find the actual APK file in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Datastream\Amazon Fire Toolbox V7.0\bin\HybridApps\ folder.

Thanks for detail explanation, updated Netflix now.

I don't know what happened to my fire HD 10 (2019) it has been De-registered itself from my Amazon account.

I can't use any of Amazon services without registering my Tablet again, but I like it like this none of Amazon apps or products are working even App Store, so was looking to find out a way to update Netflix app. Only downside is I can't open Prime Video which I don't mind.

Thanks

Registering device after removing everything Amazon?

[MENTION=8560782]Datastream33[/MENTION] I've been kicking around XDA for a few years, and never ceases to amaze me the work people do. Sent you a coffee, cheers man.

Few questions apologies if answered already I did search but this thread is huge..

I removed everything Amazon without registering the device as advised , and installed play service, Nova Launcher, Google Assistant etc before enabling WiFi.

However what would happen if I registered the device with Amazon after cleaning all their stuff off the Fire HD 10? Just wouldn't mind installing Prime Video and Comixology ,and the Amazon Shopping App for my wife.

Would it re-enable the ads and wreck play services? It's not a deal breaker as I'd far rather have a clean tablet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hey, no problem at all my friend! Happy to help! :D

Yeah, all services will be disabled until you register the tablet with Amazon Services again. Perhaps the reason why it was de-registered is because the automatic (hide/disable) Manage Everything Amazon subtool removes a package responsible for registration. Anyways, glad you were able to get Netflix up and running!

Have a great day friend! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I know right? I freaking love everyone on XDA! They are so smart and creative with the things they do. In addition, thank you for the coffee man! I REALLY appreciate it and will enjoy it ;)

One more thing I would recommend you do is head on over to the Modify System Settings tool and toggle off OTA Updates. This should prevent the disabled/hidden apps from re-appearing randomly (hopefully). Unfortunately, I'm not sure which Fire HD10 you have, but I'm going to assume its the 2019 model? If you do have the 2019 model it should be fine if you enable Amazon Services (make sure OTA Updates are toggled off). However, if you are running an older gen (4-7) the lockscreen ads may come back, if this happens just execute the Remove Lockscreen Ads tool and install Automate to block the ads (You may need to apply this micropatch to restore the tools functionality). Besides that you should be ok to enable Amazon Services once again (make sure OTA Updates are toggled off).

I must also inform you that you may need to execute a command in adb to re-enable a hidden/disabled package that is removed by the Manage Everything Amazon subtool to enable registration. Please follow these steps:

Open the Toolbox

click on the "ADB Shells" tool.

Execute a "Standard Shell".

Type the following command and press ENTER:

Generations 8 and above:

pm enable com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe

Generations 7 and below:

pm unhide com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe

That should do the trick! You should now be able to register with Amazon Services. If you need further help I'd be more then happy to help out! Just let me know!

Please friend, please have a great day! :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] beardybuck:
Cheers dude, will register the device and download what I need. Yup, it's a 2019 HD10, and I'd already disabled the OTA updates.

Great work, Be safe man.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] joshuaboston:
Hi,

Thank you in advance for your help! I am a knoob and I am still a little confused. So I will ask some of my questions... I have installed this on my Fire HD 8 and it seems to work OK, but have traded this in for a new Fire 10 which will come in 8 days...

1. It seems that once you get the new Tablet, before you hook it up to wifi, you should install the Tool Box (to eliminate Amazon stuff), disable OTA updates. Is this correct? Don't we want to update the tablet first? This is where I am confused.

2. I paid for a upgraded version of Nova Launcher... can this be installed after the fact? I am pretty sure it can.

3. Should we be concerned that we are not getting any updates to the Fire OS?

4. After we are happy with the Tablet (eliminate Amazon), then we can register the tablet with Amazon if we want. I think that is what you have just said.

Any other tips? And thank you SOOO MUCH... once it is installed and working, your getting a couple of cups of coffee :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] robocopvn:
This app works great! I really appreciate the developers behind this, you are the best.

I have just one small problem with custom lockscreen wallpaper, it works in the term of changing the lockscreen wallpaper. But I dont know why the wallpaper's quality is really low, yes like super low, I tried many photo but still get the same result. Any help? please!

Thank you!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hey, glad you are enjoying the Toolbox and what it has to offer! It really does mean a lot to me! :D

I did a little research into WallChanger (the app that changes the lockscreen wallpaper) and discovered the app was built for older versions of FireOS and is outdated. Unfortunately, the developer hasn't updated the app to include proper permission requests and the like so WallChanger's functionality is quite limited. In addition, I haven't really found an alternative way that is consistent so I'm afraid its all we got for the moment. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Awesome! I see you have a few questions and I'm thrilled to help! Let's see if we can clear up any confusion!

1. That is indeed correct my friend. The reason we don't want to connect to the WIFI yet is because it will start updating the tablet. Not connecting to WIFI also allows us to bypass device registration (which prevents the tablet from displaying ads on the lockscreen if you purchased the "Special Offers" edition). In addition to toggling off OTA Updates I would also recommend you to toggle Automatic Updates as well.

The reason why we don't want to update the tablet is because it patches many useful utilities and exploits such as mtk-su (used to gain temp root privileges), and the ease of use of third party launchers (7-4 gen).

2. You should be able to restore the purchase of Nova Launcher through Google Play Store. If you cannot see your purchases or if it claims you need to repurchase it please uninstall Play Services and re-install.

3. The updates to FireOS as stated earlier should be avoided if you are on gens 7-4. However, the only effect OTA's have on gens 8+ is it patches the exploit for mtk-su. If you don't mind losing access to mtk-su, OTA's won't effect anything else as far as I'm concerned.

4. Yes, once you are satisfied with how the device is configured it should be safe to re-register with Amazon Services. Make sure you follow the steps outlined below to restore the register functionality:

I would also recommend exploring all tools within the Toolbox to tweak your new tablet even further!

I hope the answers are satisfactory and If you have any additional questions I'd be more then happy to answer them! :D

Please enjoy the rest of your night! ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] robocopvn:
I found a solution :D (or a walk around)

On my fire HD 10 2019 edition, I need to do 2 separate steps for lockscreen wallpaper and homescreen wallpaper (I use nova launcher), respectively. Anyone can follows the below steps:

1- Active the Wallchanger by the toolbox in this thread - choose any photo to be your lockscreen wallpaper, it's ugly, I know, just be it, don't worry, your Fire will be ugly for a few minutes :D.

2- Go to the Wallchanger application (the one with the fire icon) - disabled the app

3- For the lockscreen wallpaper - you go to the settings/display/wallpaper . Then you click the Pick Image button on the bottom left corner to choose your wallpaper for the LOCKSCREEN. YES, IT'S FOR THE LOCKSCREEN

4- For the homescreen wallpaper - you go to the playstore and download the Wallpapers app from Google.

5-Open the Google wallpapers app.

-Then you choose my photos from the menu and remember to zoom all the way out to have the beautiful wallpaper for your HOMESCREEN.

-choose applied for both homescreen and lockscreen when being asked. YES, CHOOSE THE BOTH OPTION, IT WON'T CHANGE YOUR LOCKSCREEN WALLPAPER FROM STEP NUMBER 3.

6- REPEAT STEP 3 FOR CHANGING THE LOCKSCREEN WALLPAPER AND STEP 5 FOR CHANGING THE HOMESCREEN WALLPAPER.

This method works perfectly fine on my 2019 (9th gen) fire HD 10 with Fire OS 7.3.1.2

Updated:

- Tweak the steps action to have better result

- You will have to do step 3 and 5 all over again after reboot a tablet. For some reason the ugly blurry wallpaper will rollback after rebooting.

Thank you so much for amazing Toolbox. Tried it on FireHD10 kids edition. Worked like a charm. How can I enable/add/install games from Google Playstore to my kid's profile?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jojee2k6:
Please anyone help here, thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] robocopvn:
Yes, it works, with some caveats

You have to change the lockscreen wallpaper first through the settings/display/wallpaper. It also changes the homescreen. (Think of it like a applied for both homescreen and locksceen)

Then you use the Google wallpaper application to change to the desired homescreen wallpaper.

So if you want to use 1 wallpaper for both, it's rather simple. But if you want separate wallpapers for home and lock screen, you have to do as I tested.

Found of the way because my nephew really wants a spiderman wallpaper on the lockscreen and Doraemon on the homesceen, lolz!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:

Sorry newbie here. I just got a fire hd 10 2019 version and installed toolbox without much hassle. I also have a fire 8 2017, however the home button is really wonky. Every time I push it, the home screen goes back to the unchanged Amazon screen with everything on it, then 2-3s later it changes back to Nova launcher. Did I do something wrong? I am tempted to reset everything and redo it but I don't know if that'll change anything. Any input would be appreciated!
