Telemetry disabled. Ads and Promotional channels removed. Alexa is working.
Selected channels enabled, on the video it is Netflix and Plex.
Selective titles removed, only Home, Apps and Settings kept on the video.
It is possible to patch every Fire TV and no root needed.
There is no ETA of public release.

Please make available for us too🙏

    Sorry, but I'm not working full time on this. I have other work to do. I'll complete it on my free time.
    I had no emails about posts here so answering with delay.
    Small number of people are ready to test in private chat and I need one more, so I'll DM random people here.

    Update about new UI. Successfully patched it to run on Fire TV 4K Stick.
    Also modifications still working and I can remove any section.
    But I can't remove top Learn More yet.
    Also I'm able to bring back applications rows as it was on the previous ui.
    Still I don't see easy way to install it since launcher can't get amz-access-token in some reason so I had to inject mine.

    Thanks to all testers. I received a lot of statistics.
    Thanks to that in the current implementation of patching launcher a stability issues was found.
    To make stable solution it requires more work and improvements than I expected.

    Since I'm still not able to work full time on it I'll be happy to share the method with a xda developers to receive a help or support so it may be finished faster.

    Anyway I'll continue to work on it by my own on my free time and I'll accept more testers later.

    The method itself remains private since Amazon will patch it once leaked, so no public release happens until it completely finished. Another reason to keep it private, that it potentially leads to creating of a software jailbreak.

    @July IGHOR
    I think there are enough users here who would like to try patching the launcher themselves.
    Could you please give us more info on how to do this?

    - with which APK editor could you successfully edit the Launcher.apk?
    - which files in the APK in the layout folder need to be modified?
    - can the customized APK be installed without root or is there anything else that needs to be signed or customized?

    Thanks in advance for some more info. (y)
