[Fire TV General] edan13:
so today i wanted to update from 1851 to 1854. Yesterday the update showed up but i blocked everything.

so i disabled/even uninstalled Netguard, and i connected the fireTV to my phone's hotspot again to let it update to 1854. However whenever i run the update check it returns the message "your fireTV is up to date" --which it clearly isn't

i have rebooted multiple times and even disconnected the firetv from power altogether for a while. but the update still does not show. any ideas (and yeah, the irony is not lost on me...)?
[Fire TV General] Yangkee:
How about do a factory recovery?
[Fire TV General] Yangkee:
It will not revert to stock version, but to last version your stick had upgraded.
[Fire TV General] edan13:
got it working. apparently the broken download was still on the device hence no update notification.

adb shell pm clear com.amazon.device.software.ota

to clear the dl after that it updated (straight to 1856 though :/)

but at least now i have file permissions, 1851 wasnt usable for me

[Fire TV General] Dallasdondarrion:
As of yesterday I’ve been unable to open “Display & Sounds” and “Other Settings” within Launcher Manager on my 4K Max 2nd gen. Tried testing with the latest untouched Launcher Manager apk’s and the one I renamed myself.

Edit: Now I’m unsure if I’ve ever been able to access those settings from within Launcher Manager using the old method. I might just be thinking of when I was previously using the new method. Maybe I’m just an idiot - jury’s still out.

Same here. Has anyone tried Uninstalling and reinstalling
[Fire TV General] waqasahsan:
Hi,

Just got interested in setting a custom launcher for my Firestick 4K 1st gen (late 2019 or early 2020). I tried installing LM 1.1.9 but obviously it was blocked so I renamed the package with apktool because cloning with APK Studio Editor didn't work.

The APK produced by Studio Editor had the default Droid icon and installed with the package name e.g. com.xyz.kls123.Utils.BaseClass and wouldn't launch the application.

Anyways the apktool renamed apk installs and launches fine but if i click on New Method Home Hook or Custom Launcher Options, the LM stalls for 30 seconds and then closes. The Old Method gives the protected package error as expected.

Any advice on how to make it work?

[Fire TV General] shaunoleary:
It sounds like you may not using the same editor tool I'm using. Just to clarify, this is not an editor that comes with Google's Android studio package. Sorry - when I wrote that post I didn't specify that.

This is the tool I'm using: https://qwertycube.com/apk-editor-studio/

You can change the package name to anything you like using the 'Tools --> Clone APK' option - eg you could make the apk name 'com.abc.xyz' and then save the cloned APK. If you have your Fire Stick connected through ADB before running APK Editor Studio, you can even directly install the modded APK from within the program.

I hope this helps! PS - happy new year, and sorry for delay in reply.
[Fire TV General] waqasahsan:
Thanks for the response and Happy new year!

Yes the link you provided is the same apk editor studio that I used but it didn't work for me, I tried multiple times with different package names. The apk was cloned fine and installed fine through ADB but it just wouldn't launch LM on the Firestick.

The modded app I created through apktools that installs and launches fine but crashes when I try the new method or custom launcher options.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

P. S. I think Studio Editor also uses apktools for cloning, if you go into the tools folder you will find adb and apktools.
[Fire TV General] Greskac:
Hi.

I am using Firestick MAX gen2 and I have a problem because Aerial Views is not working for me. Anyone else having these problems?
[Fire TV General] cramer52:
Same issue here. On my other gen 1 4K max I still have the option in the settings menu of Wolf Launcher to go to the android settings. On the Gen 2 no option and even trying to access it in other ways is not working. The only thing accessible are the app options of the installed apps via Wolf Launcher. Removing wolf launcher led to a black screen with a please wait logo loop. Wondering if removing LM with adb would recover the normal launcher. Any suggestions?

Edit: Had to reset my fire TV because of a network change and therefore it updated. Now launcher manager 1.1.9 is not working any more for me.
[Fire TV General] ¿GotJazz?:
I have a 4K Max V2 / OS 8.1.0.1

I was able to rename Launch Manager v1.1.9 using APK Editor Studio, and I was able to successfully enable the Launch Manager Home Button Hook New Method.

On the plus side, Launch Manager stays active and is no longer being automatically terminated/deleted by the Firestick.

However, it is a partial solution that isn't really working. Pressing the Home button still brings up the stock Firestick Home screen.

Sigh.
[Fire TV General] Dallasdondarrion:
I have the Max V2 running 8.1.0.1 and renamed the package as well and I never see the stock home screen. I’m using the old method though and not the new method.
[Fire TV General] ¿GotJazz?:
Thanks for the info, @Dallasdondarrion, but I don't know how you got the Launch Manager v1.1.9 "Old Method" to work on your V2 Max stick. When I tried enabling the Old Method on my stick, I saw a couple of Toast pop-ups notifying me that the FireOS launcher apps were protected and couldn't be disabled. I still can't get Wolf or any other launcher to come up.
[Fire TV General] maxmilianzakariyya:
Hi guys, @Yangkee and @edan13

I've read the last pages of this thread. I bought two firestick 4k max 2nd Gen and when I installed netguard I couldnt find any system apps for updates to be blocked (I added the permission to manage system apps)

I can't also find an option to block specific URLs as some of you mentioned. For those that were able to block updates how did you do it?

I can't do it via router method due to using a shared wifi to which I don't have the router access.

Please let me know!

[Fire TV General] maxmilianzakariyya:
What options did you have on 8.1.0.1 and blocked? In netguard screen?
[Fire TV General] Finnzz:
@soulryuu The LM old method disables the Amazon Launcher app. The jump screen for FireOS settings is part of the Amazon Launcher, so it can no longer be reacher. That's why Wolf added the settings menu options to LM. The alternative is to temporarily re-enable the Amazon Launcher to visit FireOS settings.

The new method doesn't disable Amazon Launcher, it only opens the custom launcher over the Amazon Launcher (settings can still be reached).

Several people here have reported that the old method works on the shipped firmware for the 2nd gen 4k and Max Sticks. I think that's because Amazon Launcher isn't listed as a protected app. At least not out of the box.

Later Amazon Launcher gets protected, and you no longer have permission to enable/disable it causing the old method to fail.

Someone was saying they had a black screen after using LM. When LM disables the Amazon Launcher (old method) and no other launcher is already installed you can get a black screen. Or if you uninstall your custom launcher while Amazon Launcher is still disabled, the same can happen.

In this case run 'adb shell pm enable com.amazon.tv.launcher' to manually re-enable the Amazon Launcher.
[Fire TV General] soulryuu:
I see, thanks for the info!

Not sure how Amazon Launcher gets listed as a protected app without an update, though. That's the weird part I wanted to share. I'll try and do some experimentation with it later and see if I get any new info.
[Fire TV General] Finnzz:
It's buried pages back. Apps can be protected at any time, without a firmware update, using the Arcus Proxy app to update the protection list.

I'm curious if anyone with a FireOS8 Stick has tried using Tasker to remap the home button. It's very similar to the LM new method, and it could help figure out why the LM version doesn't work on the new Sticks.

[Fire TV General] Snnorlaxx:
I have an older Firestick 4k that's on 6.2.7.6 I believe. Left it unused for about 2 months, went to turn it on and it was prompting me to set up. It also had an update waiting to be installed. Found an adb command to kill the update and continued to setup the stick. Previously it had Wolf Launcher, otg with ssd drive, etc. Setup Adguard on the stick and Open DNS on our router to block the updates, seems to be holding. My problem is I can't seem to get the Launcher manager to work properly. On first boot, it seems to work normally, lets me select the options, but when I try to go back in, it just seems to stall or hang and eventually kicks me back to the Firestick screen. Also please note the Wolf Launcher is activated and working, and is persistent. However, I have no access to to all the basic fire stick menu items, ie My Firestick, Network settings, etc. Tried uninstalling the launcher, updating Wolf Launcher to 0.1.9, launcher manager 1.1.9, no joy. While I'm happy the Launcher is working, I'd like to fix my access to the normal menu items. As previously mentioned, if I try to use Launcher manager I am unable to select any options, either the change the launcher options or select any of the menu shortcuts. Would appreciate any and all comments on how to proceed from here.

Cheers, Bob
[Fire TV General] scope666:
I'm in a similar boat. I have a 1st gen Firestick 4K (Mantis) that's on Fire OS 6.7.0.1, and any version of LM I try get's detected and blocked instantly. I've tried both "lm119" versions as well as the normal 1.1.8 and 1.1.9 ... looks like Amazon is getting more aggressive...
[Fire TV General] Snnorlaxx:
Thanks for the reply, what ended up working for me was, reverting to 1.18 using the old method. As mentioned, Wolf was working correctly, just couldn't access the system settings. Using the old launcher manager has the old shortcuts working, so I guess this is as good as it gets.
[Fire TV General] scope666:
I just can't figure out how to stop Fire OS from blocking it, it does it IMMEDIATELY so you don't get a chance to make it into the settings of LM.
[Fire TV General] Snnorlaxx:
not sure if you watch or follow TDUK, he has a video showing how to install and setup Wolf and Launcher manager in 2023, one of the key settings in keeping it working was to issue the following adb command

while sleep 10; do ((++n%30)) || am force-stop com.amazon.tv.launcher; pm clear com.amazon.device.software.ota; pm clear com.amazon.adep; done

try this it might help you.

Cheers
[Fire TV General] scope666:
I'll give it a shot and report back .... familiar with adb from my crack flashing days. ;)

EDIT: It let me get to the point where I changed the default launcher, but when I got to set the "hook" it complains about something else accessing adb.

View attachment 6064649

Then, it comes back to "app disabled - Uninstall potentially harmful app?"

It seems with the latest update, you're lucky if you can run the app for 30 second after a fresh boot, after that the OS "finds" it and immediately blocks it.
