Since the original package is now flagged, I've changed the package name from "com.wolf.lm" to "com.wolf.lm1"

I'll try to change some static codes of lm so app cloner will work, if lm survives these blocks.

Amazon can do many things to stop LM from working, and most of them cannot be stopped, but i would not like to give someone some idea.

Not only that I managed to disable adepfos app which handles blacklisting according to the notifications i got whenever it gets removed from my device. Im not sure if rebooting is the reason it gets removed by this app but I'll see if it lasts for 1 day. adb shell pm disable-user com.amazon.adep

I guess this version is not including the black overlay before launching, right?

No issues to report here, but I had blocked updates via my DNS (pihole), as soon as I got it working (couple weeks back).

Yeah the original still works just fine after reinstall. It's just really strange that they did a remote uninstall but didn't fully blacklist it like they did fire starter and others. Probably coming soon.

So since they are blocking the package name I am aware you released a copy with a new package name but was hoping I would be able to change the package name to one of my choosing but whenever I make any changes I get the app to launch fine but whenever I try to do anything that runs adb I get a "shell is busy" error ....I tried several different ways.. such as only changing the package name in the minimal locations and also changing every mention of com.wolf.lm in the dex and resource files but after about 3 hours I have temporarily thrown in the towel haha

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated 🙏 🙂

Well I cloned it. Changed package name by one character. Clone opens but when you select enable custom launcher I get an error that says the shell is busy. I uninstalled the original, rebooted and tried again. No joy, same error shell is busy. I turned ADB off and rebooted then turned ADB back on and try it again. No joy same error. The original app still works fine after uninstall and reinstall many times.

Hi Sweenwolf, Thank you for the updates. I have blocked updates on my Fire TV, so everyting still in working order.

My remote has a TV button, It launches the Live TV app, I would rather have it launch tivimate, which I use for IP TV. Could you add an option to redirect the TV button as well?

I also have a bug to report: The launch button app selection dialog doesn't list the "NLZiet" app. It is a free app available from the standard fire TV store.

Thanks!

Hello. I've successfully installed the latest APK of the launcher manager but I haven't been able to find the official release of wolf launcher.

Could anyone tell me where I can download it?

I have had a report on my YouTube channel that the new version of LM with the new package name has been removed 12 hours after installing, has anyone else noticed their new version being removed?

Hello, after manually configuring my APK to be the ACTIVE main activity via your com.wolf.lm and making a backup of the com.wolf.lm setting I am not able to restore this configuration onto another box.
Here is how I am doing a backup of the Launcher Manager settings
```
adb -s 192.40.1.121:5555 backup -f 20230304data.backup.com.wolf.lm.1.1.8 com.wolf.lm
```
on the new box I do the following:

# install my APK
adb -s 192.40.1.121:5555 install -g "20230325 MUMTI G3 v0.0.28.apk"
# install wolf launcher
adb -s 192.40.1.121:5555 install "LM (FOS) - 1.1.8.apk"
# restore the wolf APK settings from the backup
adb -s 192.40.1.121:5555 restore 20230304data.backup.com.wolf.lm.1.1.8

The result is that the Launcher Manager does not have my APK as Active and requires additional manual step to make my APK active (see attached screenshot).
I have also tried
adb -s 192.40.1.121:5555 shell pm set-home-activity com.wolf.lm/com.wolf.lm.launcher.LMUHandler

But without success. Can anyone help? Thank you.
FYI. Technically I don't need a Launcher Manager since I only want my app to be the ONLY app run at boot.
See more details here: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...apk-mainactivity-as-the-home-activity-via-adb

Is there anything we can do to result in it now giving the shell is busy message? Or could you release another package name even its its lm2 lol if that's easier for now....Seems like the ability to clone the apk with custom app & package name is the only way to go because everything youve released is reviewed by tech doctor whom makes a video on YouTube of all places making the exploit much more mainstream which really sucks...it broke my heart when I saw him post a video about the new package name apk....


Once you do release the fix is there anyway to ask him not to make a video on it? Love his content but it's really hurting us with the custom launchers specifically

Thanks ahead of time for the work you put into this for the community...I know I appreciate it more than you could know and I'm sure I'm not the only one... so thank you from us all!

This cat and mouse game is kinda ridiculous. The people they are targeting with their UI will never go through the steps to install a different launcher and the people that do will never click on anything Amazon is recommending in their UI.

Yes and I find their recommendation screen not child friendly. For example my kid is afraid of that M3gan doll and for a while it kept popping up. Or of course it's confusing for kids to see things pop up that we don't subscribe to. So they try to click it.

    How about using Tasker or Macrodroid?

    Actually I just restarted my firestick and Rethink is on and working automatically. As long as you click on START in the Rethink app and have in on, it remembers the last state and stays on even after restart. At least in my case, that is what I see.

    I haven't tested this personally, but it's worth a shot. You can use a firewall app like RethinkDNS to block Internet access to individual apps. Use this to firewall the com.amazon.arcus.proxy app. I think RethinkDNS logs the domains that it has blocked, so you may be able to use it to determine what server addresses arcus proxy is trying to communicate with, and later block them with pihole.

    After firewalling it, also clear the data (pm clear com.amazon.arcus.proxy).

    If it's actually another app on the FireTV that gets the app ban information, and it relays it to arcus proxy, this might not work. With RethinkDNS you can play around with blocking internet to various apps to narrow it down. I have seen a couple other suggestions for apps that may be involved like nihm, but I'd start with arcus proxy.

    THIS is exactly what I did based on your advice back on May 23rd and right now it's past DAY 2 and so far so good on my firestick 4K!! LM 1.1.8 working like a charm with Wolf Launcher launching automatically.

    In RethinkDNS + Firewall the app is actualled named "Arcus Proxy" so you just need to block both unmetered and metered traffic from accessing it. But I found you also need to make sure to use the system DNS and not Rethink's DNS or it might prevent some apps from accessing the net. Well, in my case, I also have OpenVPN setup on my router with custom DNS so that might be the thing conflicting with Rethink's DNS but you can just disable that as I did.

    I'll report in a few days to see if it's still working or if I need to block other apps and/or IPs. If others can try and report it, we can figure out if this is a permanent solution! Thanks Finnzz for the suggestion!!

    PS My $20 ONN TV box which I discussed previously is also working great with LM/WL for regular apps but just don't like that A12 prevents IPTV apps from allowing you a choice to select the default app for YT links which is why the older firestick is much better for now as IPTV is the most used app in my case.

    The FireCube v3 allows me to connect my switch to the back and save a HDMI port. I don’t play my switch on the TV very often so just realised I have no idea how to switch to that input using this launcher.

    Anyone know how to do that using launcher manager and wolf launcher?

    Click to collapse
    I'm having the same issue here also. I'd have to disable the launcher i.e (Wolf Launcher) to get on the main launcher and it shows the setting. Launcher Manager would need an update to add that setting for the Cube V3

    The LM ADB method is doing the same thing as Tasker, but without the extra setup. The extra complexity may be enough that Amazon ignores Tasker, for now.

    Why You didn't said it before !!!!! :giggle:

    Now, I can not test due to an error with ADB debugging. I don't know if this is due Termux+Tasker or if this is due the cloning of LM 1.1.8 through this method : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-clonemyapp-android-apk-cloner.4513777/#post-87668059.

    Because each 2 days, Amazon removes LM 1.18 !!!!
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Sorry, I didn't know you were experiencing a delay.

    You can't clone LM, it breaks the ADB function.

    Considering LM is getting uninstalled after a certain amount of time suggests that Amazon is communicating those instructions to the FireTV, and you need to block that.

    I use LM on my cube and it's never been uninstalled. My best guess is because I've disabled com.amazon.arcus.proxy like in the instructions here

    You can't disable that app without root, but you can firewall it so that Amazon can't communicate with it. Try RethinkDNS, you can also use it to firewall / block the OTA app. RethinkDNS and a VPN can't be used simultaneously, it's one of the other.

    I haven't tested this, but it's worth a shot.

    LAUNCHER MANAGER ULTIMATE​

    This app can disable Stock Launcher of Any Android TV (except anything running on Fireos 5), it requires Network Debugging to function.
    The way it works is it finds the stock launcher and disables it.
    It does that in a loop until "android" itself is set as default launcher.
    at this point if there are no Custom launchers are installed on the system then you will see only a black screen.
    So a custom launcher should be installed prior to enabling the custom launcher.

    some apps also broadcasts themselves as launcher and if they are installed as system app and are set as default launcher then it will also disable them.
    some launcher integrates settings in them so disabling the launcher will disable settings also.
    the apps who broadcasts themselves as Fallback home will not be disabled.

    There were certain cases where user uninstalled launcher and got blank screen, to mitigate that issue LMU will set itself as the launcher and call the other launchers on its behalf. so if the launcher is deleted then pressing the home button will launch LMU, from where you can disable custom launcher support.

    If it detects that after disabling everything it doesn't reach the "android" itself and is unable to find a launcher then it will rollback itself, enabling every single thing it disabled.

    Changes:
    1.0.8
    Fixed Settings Shortcut for Amazon Hud.
    Fixed Disabling of "Android"


    All other functionalities are similar to Launcher Manager from the First Post.

    This isn't a confidence-inspiring reply.

    I don't actually care if you took an abandoned app and updated it making it your own, but the second half of your reply is just unnecessarily confrontational.

    You could have just reassured me that your edits were safe, but you choose to be defensive instead.

    I think I'll remove your launcher and look for something via the Play Store.

    I've lost all confidence in Wolf Launcher.

    Look I'm gonna tell you and everyone what I've done with the launcher till now,
    I have changed the way it launches the app, on latest pro (any pro) it used to crash the apps.
    I fixed the title bar. I then optimized it for FireTV (not any other OS, which caused it to misbehave on some device) which i later fixed. Then some people were having trouble installing both ATV and Wolf simultanously. so i had to change package name which made me to change the launcher name also (that might have been wrong on my side). then i optimized the app once again for FireOS (it caused some freeze issue). Then to fix Setting of Amazon HUD (older version of FireOS), I had to add a code to handle settings (it only works on Amazon and no other device). I changed some sections to give user large wall (that was temporary fix). I removed some http links, but they are used either for update check or to change Network State in the launcher.
    Then i added "App Info" to the launcher, which i only added for non-system apps.
    Later i removed the large section mod and unlocked the widget for Firestick 4k.
    Then I added "Other Settings" which contained option to clear cache and Backup/ Restore function.
    i also added a code which starts the services of Launcher Manager (thats also mainly for FireOS and thats because of Boot Delay). I also added a stroke for tiles.
    thats all i have done to the apk. I have not done this mod to make any money, and i can assure you this app is safe to use. My only intention to mod this app was that this app was almost perfect and there was some bugs which i had to fix myself because the support of this launcher were down. And the only issue at that time was app crash for which i decided not to compile a launcher by myself. I am not forcing you to do anything, I am just clarifying myself, The apps which i have created are safe. and are to improve the user experience only.
    i do not like to or want to rip someone off. I started this mod for FireOS only and no other OS.

    Test boot delay on this.
    Enable custom launcher handler, select launcher from list, press home, select LM Custom launcher and click on always, reboot.

    This will not work with protected packages
