FireTv Launcher Settings copy

[Tomg1970]

Hello can I somehow save the Amazon Fire TV Launcher setting.

so that I can use it on another Firetv Stick as well.

Or is there a way to clone the entire FireTV (including all apps),

so that in the house all FireTV Stick 4k Max all look the same?

The only way I can think of is the initial setup on the setup wizard. Usually Fire TV's give you an option to show your backup settings and restore them with the apps you've installed and settings you've enabled and disabled. Excluding 3rd party apps. The last resort would be to factory reset your devices and apply these settings with the backup

In conclusion there's no method of backing up without fully unlocking and rooting the device

Thank you very much.

If I had root access, would a backup then be possible.

What are the alternative ROMs for possibilities and which is the most popular?

Yeah no problem! With root access yes a backup would be possible using the app Titanium Backup. You basically can backup app and data at the same time. Be warned though if you do have any rootable Fire TV devices that if you fully backup TWRP with your data, it'll kick you out of the Amazon launcher and force you to sign back in. There was a post somewhere on here showing users how to backup apps and data like you were questioning but with no luck. Users have tried certain commands (forgot to list any) without root and it seems to not be working in particular.

Edit: I've tried running these backup commands directly from the developer android site where it shows the backup manager commands: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/testingbackup

I tested the backup with this command on adb shell and it shows as given:
adb shell bmgr backupnow com.amazon.tv.launcher
Error: Could not access the Backup Manager. Is the system running?


Ok I found the post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/problem-for-restore-app-on-fire-stick-4k-max.4544731/

Which ROM with root would you recommend then.
Is all this also possible via a Macbook pro?

It is important to me that I have the same settings/apps on all my FireTVs

have the same settings/apps. Without that I have to

have to adjust manually.
