    Post Fire HDX 8.9 4th Gen (Saturn) - Fire OS 5.1.1 - Root / GApps / etc. collection

    I ended up downloading and installing the SDK toolkit, but I didn't install anything but the amazon driver listed under "extras". adb now works for installs. Right now, I don't need all the other sdk stuff, so that was it...very simple

    Thread removed Knox and others, then used TBU to new ROM...

    I had a stock S4 with NC5 and I rooted it, then used Titanium Backup to actually delete and remove some of the apks like Knox, S-Health, Amazon, etc from my phone. I think the TBU setting is the one below "Chuck Norris Mode" where it will actually remove the apk from the original Samsung rom...
