Greetings my good friend!

Great question! Try clicking the "Device:" label at the bottom left of the window. That should bring up the Device Information tool. :)

Thx Datastream33. (y)

(BTW, what's the codename for a 2016 HD8? All I know is it's 2-lettter abbreviation is GI.)

I think the reason for crashing the SystemUI was because the nav bar icons were accidentally disabled as I said in my other post.

Has anyone face issues with Google play services ? It seems that Google is blocking off fire HDs. Asked to update play services, but it brings you to nowhere except 'deactivate'

Does deleting system apps via ADB break Fire Os?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings my friend and great question!

I suppose it really depends on the app that is deleted. A lot of the apps in FireOS depend upon each other and integrate, so it's hard to say 100% what's safe and what isn't. (outside the list of apps in the Toolbox's Manage Amazon Apps manual (simple) subtool of course). There is also the risk of soft bricking the device (which can only be fixed through a factory reset) by accidentally disabling/hiding system required applications. If you're very careful about what's disabled/hidden you should be fine. :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ah, that's right! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] GeekFurious:
This is my only problem right now. I've tried to fix this issue through various resets of the system, then reinstalling, even manually installing the apk but it eventually results in this problem again. If I remove & reinstall, it works for a day or two, then comes up with the same message.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hey, no problem at all! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings!

Would your tablet happen to be running Android 9?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] GeekFurious:
It's the Fire HD10 from 2019 so I imagine it is Android 9.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hello my friend,

I'm not too sure if you still need the icon Pack or not, but I've attached it below just in case. :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, thank you, my friend! I'll do my best to look into it! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] GeekFurious:
I appreciate it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
My pleasure. Have a great night/day! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Oh, I didn't see this post. Thanks for helping out as usual, my good friend! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] GeekFurious:
I should mention that each time I've done this I've noticed the "Find My Device" has become re-enabled. I always have to disable it. I don't know if this has something to do with it but I thought I should mention it anyway.

Hi,

is it possible to add multiwindow on fire HD 8?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] cf77:
I joined XDA just to say Thank You for your hardwork on ToolBox.

I am new to Amazon Fire OS and surely the ToolBox help making the Amazon Tablet alive.

I know Amazon and Google do not play well with each other. I hope they do and allow notifications from Google Store to pass through. But, I will live with it.

only encountered one issue with V22.

PushPull will not work with single file transfer in Win7. but works in whole Directory transfer. sometimes missed a few files.

After select a file, Win Explorer will show create. click button. not a OK button.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I'm not entirely sure if the reviews are coming from people solely on Fire Tablets but it seems the Play Services Play Store page has been filled with 1 star reviews regarding the "update play services" message all throughout the month. Could this be a bug in the Play Services app or do you guys think it's only effecting Fire Tablets?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, I think I've managed to find a workaround to the Play Store issue for now. Below, I've attached a zip file containing the latest version of Play Services apk (21.33.13). Let's give it a try:

Please download and extract the archive to somewhere you'll remember.

Open the Toolbox, and navigate to Main Menu 2.

Execute the Sideload Apps tool.

Check the box next to "Reinstall" in the Installation Flags section.

In the App #1 category click the Browse button.

Navigate to the location where you extracted the .zip in the first step.

Double-click the PlayServices_21_33_13.apk file, and click the Sideload button.

Wait for the Toolbox to reinstall the app.

Once you see Success, please reboot the tablet.

That should do the trick, please let me know if you encounter any issues and I'd be more then happy to assist further. Best of luck guys!🤞

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] iardito:
Hi! Thank you for this amazing work! Anyone can answer. I have a Fire HD 10 2021 and tried Fire Toolbox v 23 - v20. I can't seem to install Google services on my fire tablet. For v23, it's stuck in Downloading Google Services while the older version it prompted Integrity Error when installing.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Galaxy-Geek#1:
I LOVE being able to with my Navigation bar to match my phone (Galaxy S10+). However, since the icons are white (I'm using the Icons you upload found on the previous page) you can't see them on a white background (such as the google play store). Any way we can get a light and dark theme icon pack? So on the black background it's white and on the white background its black or grey?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ThaDraGun:
I have a Fire HD 10 (9th edition)

I installed google Services. Everything installed without errors. I left the tablet alone for a while, then logged in.

Now when I open the playstore it just keeps looking for a new update. I cant get past that screen.

I uninstalled the playstore and reinstalled it and Im still having the same issue.

Any ideas?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Aegison:
Amazing tool! Thank you for your continued work on it!

One question. I tried sideloading an app to the kids profile but the app didn't show up. I am guessing it's there but just not visible in the kids ui? Do you think there will ever be a way to sideload usable apps to kid's profiles? (Sorry if this is already possible and I just missed it in the tool!)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings friend! I'm ecstatic to hear you're enjoying the Toolbox!

You're 100% correct in your assumption. The apps are indeed installed, they just don't show up in the Freetime Launcher.

Tried a few things to get them to show up but unfortunately have had no luck so far. Maybe one day...🤞
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, it may be possible with the help of an Automate script... ;)

So happy to hear you're enjoying the Navbar Icons Modifier!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Serious? That's not good!

Would you be willing to share a screenshot of the message? Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Registered just to say thanks?! I REALLY appreciate that and would like to welcome you to the community!

As for the issues with the Push and Pull tool on Windows 7, I'll be sure to look into it and see if a fix can be found ASAP! Thank you for the report friend, and for taking the time to show your appreciation! :D(y)

Have a great day/night!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] kucingfight:
Yes, you are right, it's now unclear if that only affects Fire or on other devices . Many users do reported on it. Having said that, i've not faced any issues on my Redmi's and Tab A7 2020.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, interesting...

We've managed to hopefully get around the issue for now. I just hope Google isn't trying to block off Fire Tablets from receiving automatic updates to Play Services, and it's just a bug in that specific version. I suppose only time will tell right? Anyway, thank you for your reply/time my friend! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ThaDraGun:
I hate that FreeTime kids profile. Such a pain.

The only way to have access to those sideloaded apps is to install an app that from the Amazon app store that will act like an app drawer and let you see all the apps on your device. Then you enable/disable the apps you want your kid to play with.

I can't remember which one I used. It looked similar to "Kids Space Launcher"

Kids Space Launcher:Amazon.com:Appstore for Android

Kids Space Launcher - Parental Control application that turns your Android into the safe space for your kids to play and learn.

www.amazon.com

The one I got you had to pay a couple bucks for it so it must not be the same app. Try that one out or search around for another one.

Since my FreeTime subscription expired I don't even use the kids profile anymore. I deleted it and now I use kids place on the normal profile: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiddoware.kidsplace
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] drhebbe:
Hi.

I just installed Toolbox v.23 and found out a new message: 'Ok Google' model update.

How can I get rid of this message?

Thank you.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] stocktiki:
Thank you for all your hard work for the Fire community!

Curious what you found out about the "you must update Google Play Services" error? 1) Is the Play Store not updating GPS on Fires for some reason? 2) Do you mind explaining what the workaround is to make it stop? 3) How does GPS update itself on other devices? Is it updated by Play, or is it a "system" file updated in another way? 4) Is there a way to workaround this issue via "settings" or by downloading a different version of Google Play Services? Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Coltonw023456:
i need some help with my fire HD 8 plus tablet i got the store working again for months everthing worked fine but now i cleaned my tablet to default settings and reinstall the google play store and now it says Hulu is not supported on my device version any ideas ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
If you haven't disabled Amazon App Store, you could install it from there.

Edit: I just re-read your post. Hulu is included in the Hybrid Apps part of the toolbox. You could install it from there or from Amazon App Store.

Edit 2 : I'm sorry, I thought it was in hybrid apps, but I guess not! Well, just re-enable Amazon App Store if you disabled it and install it from there. Then you can disable Amazon App Store once again if you like.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Coltonw023456:
i wonder if i had a update today on the fire tablet and it made it not work anymore but good idea
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
No, thank you for your support my friend! This project is all about improving the experience, but also doing my best to make someone's day just a little bit better! :D

I did further research and it seems this (not being able to update Play Services through the Play Store) is a "rare" bug that can occur on some devices. I'm not sure what causes it, but hopefully this doesn't occur every time Play Services needs an update.

Because the app is requesting an update, but is unable to be updated through the Play Store due to the missing Update button... the next best solution is to update via sideloading the latest Play Services apk to hopefully get around the issue. Updating should satisfy Play Services and allow apps to function once more.

I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) it's updated silently by Google Play Store in the background. However, I'm assuming it's also capable of auto-updating itself without the Play Store.

So far, we were able to workaround the issue by installing the latest version of Play Services. Please see this post for instructions. :D

I hope these answers are satisfactory. Have a great day my friend!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] stocktiki:
Wow. Your answer is as helpful as it is kind and insightful. Thank you for all that you do for this community. It is very appreciated.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
It's the least I could do my friend! Thank you for all your support! It really does mean a lot! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, that's strange!

I suppose you could try sideloading the apk and see if that works?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings my friend! That's actually a great question, and I'll do my best to assist in it's removal. Let's first try force stopping the Google App and see if that works. If not, we will move on and try blocking the notification instead. :D

To force stop the Google App:

Connect your tablet to your computer and open the Toolbox.

Execute the ADB Shell tool, and in the textbox enter the following command:

am force-stop com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Finally, press enter to execute the command.

That should remove the notification. Try opening the Google App and see if the notification reappears when the app starts. If so, try the following method below:

If your tablet is running Android 9:

Open the Notification Drawer.

Tap and hold on the OK Google notification.

Then tap on the "Stop notifications" button.

If your tablet is running Android 5:

Open the Notification Drawer.

Tap and hold on the OK Google notification.

Tap the circle with the i in the middle icon.

Then tap the "Block" option to toggle the slider.

if the following methods produced no results, try tapping on the notification and see if it brings you to some sort of setup or something similiar in order to remove the notification. Best of luck and please let us know if you need further help.🤞
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings my friend!

Ahh, are you talking about GoToApp? If only we knew how it worked so we could maybe utilize the same method... :unsure:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ThaDraGun:
Found my Amazon invoice for the app.

I got RocketApps

Amazon.ca Something Went Wrong / Quelque chose s'est mal passé

Its similar to GoToApp, but GoToApp has a very big flaw. It gives your child access to ALL apps. You cant pick and choose which ones they have access to.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] GroovinChip:
Here's hoping the 2018 HD 8 gains support for removing all the Amazon garbage!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
UPDATE (1/23/2019): Alright, so I've managed to at least get a signal from the tablet to show it has at least some sort of life left in it. I can connect it to my PC if I have the VCOM and CDC Drivers installed. Now the only issue I'm having at the moment is I'm unable to find a scatter file for the tablet and because of this I cannot flash the firmware. Does anyone have a scatter file for a Fire HD8 (2017) model by chance?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Comet1966:
I'm not sure what that is but I am guessing it's not downloadable from here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_bc_nav?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200529680 ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yeah, I've got the updates from here and unfortunately they do NOT contain the scatter file at all. So, this would work to restore the tablet if I could access Recovery. All I need is a scatter file and I could restore the tablet possibly. However, I can't seem to find one :crying:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mphayesuk:
Hi, I have a 8HD 2018 and the app doesnt launch at all, all I get is No device found. I am happy to test anything.

Scatter files are all but impossible to find for Fire devices. Folks have been looking and asking for years (dating back to mid-2015 for 5th gen).

Not sure this will help much as SPFT will not talk to Fire tablet - but if you get it to work I'd be really interested to hear about it!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
With the language bug, I was not able to replicate it. I tried changing my system language to various other languages and wasn't able to get the error you are describing. It could be a bug with system language when setting up Windows and not changing it from within settings. I will try an emulator and see if I can replicate it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] wizard10000:
Seemed to work fine on my 7th gen HD10. Tablet is rooted and had a fresh sideload of Fire 5.6.3.0; the only thing I did notice is that "Remove Everything Amazon" appeared to stall for a bit while disabling apps - maybe because I'd already disabled most of them. Hitting the enter key brought everything back to life (either that or my timing is excellent).

Had google toys already installed and the toolbox noted that I already had them and skipped installing the toys.

Very nice :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok guys, you WILL have version 1.5 tomorrow (Sunday: 1/27/2019). Now, I want to let you know a few things before its released. first off, no new tools have been added. This update is mainly about bug fixes related to the current features from V1.0. Don't worry though, V2.0 WILL contain new features! So stay tuned tomorrow for version 1.5!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] wizard10000:
Will there be any reason to run 1.5 if you're already run 1.0?

Thanks -
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yes, I would think so. V1.5 has fixed some bugs in some of the features and has added support to some Fire models. More information on the update can be found on the change log when the public update is released. Thanks! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Great news!

Hey guys,

So, I decided to bite the bullet and ask a friend for some cash. They agreed to help out (because he's AMAZING) and I'm planning on buying a used Fire HD8 (2018) that Amazon is selling for $56 right now. I'm not taking any chances and I'm going to buy it today! I will have it by Tuesday/Wednesday! :D

Once I receive my tablet I'm planning on looking for methods on removing system apps. Development for the toolbox will rapidly increase. Stay tuned! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DB126:
Keep in mind generation matters in the HD 8 lineup, especially between 8th gen and predecessors due to a change in Android base (Lollipop vs Nougat).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yes, this true. I will keep this in mind as development continues. Thank you Davey! :D

Interesting app, I tried the shell but no results.

I did however find the system apps through the file manager (system/pivapp/com.amazon.firelauncher) for example, but when I try to move or delete the files from there it just loads to 100% and then starts over without doing anything. :(

Damn, I thought I finally had a breakthrough.

Would be cool if you could add a feature that can disable only specific apps, only if it's doable of course.
