[WINDOWS/LINUX][TOOL]Fire Toolbox V32.2

[Datastream33]

What's going on guys?

I sincerely hope everyone is having a great weekend so far and it only continues to get better!

Tonight, we have the release of V19.0. Without further ado... let's jump into the details of what makes V19.0 a worthy successor to V18.1!

Checks, Checks, and More Checks for Google Services!​

Yeah, you know Google Services? The tool that's been reworked a few times already because it had issues? Well, let's just say the tool has been filled to the brim with checking procedures for almost everything the Tool performs. Downloads are now timed, and if the progress bar doesn't move the Toolbox will inform you and ask you to restart the tool (which should fix the timeout issue).​

​

I've also added more checks to the Android version, architecture, and download url detect functions to ensure things get setup properly. Despite these checks, the tool still isn't perfect... so if you would be kind enough to report any issues you come across with the tool I would be so grateful!​

The "About" Window Redesign​

Well, what can I say "about" this redesign? Oh, well maybe it's cool to talk about the new buttons added? In the new window you will find 3 buttons at the bottom of the window: "Check for Updates" (moved from the Settings window), "Open Instillation Directory" (Opens the Toolbox's root folder), and the "Open ADB Directory" (Opens the ADB directory for your installation). In addition to the buttons, other information such as ADB Version, build date/time, installation directory, and other important information can now be easily located in this window.​

New Ways of Managing Amazon Apps​

This is perhaps one of my favorite aspects of this update! It is now possible to create your own debloat presets by placing the packages you want to disable/hide into a .debloat file (it's really a .txt file, just changed the extension). Once this file is created, all you have to do is load it using the "Load From File..." option, select your .debloat file, and click the "Execute" button.​

​

The Toolbox will then parse through the file and hide/disable the packages in order as they appear in the file. See the attached ExampleDebloatList.debloat file (included in the .zip with the same name) to learn how to properly make one of these debloat files... and create your own preset. In addition, these files can also be loaded by other users so feel free to share your .debloat file if you think it may be of use to others!​

Spoiler

User Management Finally Gets Reworked​

Instead of relying on pushing a user's list and reading the list when needed... the tool now uses dumpsys for reading and retrieving user names/ids. Meaning, the Toolbox can detect any user (even if the user wasn't created with the Toolbox) and switch/remove that user with ease. While the tool has been reworked, the issue with Parental Controls deleting users on reboot still stands unfortunately.​

Navigation Bar Modifier & Quick Settings Modifier Additions​

I'm happy to announce that these tools are now capable of reading and altering configurations for other profiles (users) instead of just the default user (0).​

​

As for the Navigation Bar Modifier, you can now utilize the brand new presets to really spice up the look of your navigation bar. Alongside the presets, the Padding item has also been added to really help you find the look you're after.​

Wait, that's not everything! Feel free to take a look at the changelog below for more on tonight's update:

so, I updated the toolbox to the latest build and when I try to run it I get the error that says that the debugger is unable to install and the toolbox can't run Is there any 'fix' for this? Yes, I've run a previous version to 'hack' my fire tablet but want to see what other options there are that I may want to enable. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

I had no problem updating from the 18 version. What version did you have previously? Could totally uninstall then try again.

I think it was version 11 that I initially used, then upgraded to version 13 and now have the latest installed on my laptop. When you say 'uninstall', do you mean from my laptop or tablet?

From the laptop and would reboot it after, then install the newer version.

Hmm, guess I'll defer to Datastream33 or any others who may have suggestions.

If you have problems with the spacing in landscape mode, like it's all squished together, try leaving out the first 2 and last 2 "spaces" in the command.

Just wondering if you meant squished in portrait? The only used the two spaces because I’m predominantly in landscape and it looks fine for me.

I meant landscape. There were a couple people with problems. It was just something to play with if you had any spacing issues. Since that post @Datastream33 has released v19 of Toolbox and added some things to the navbar tool so you can play with the spacing there too.

Ah, okay. I noticed there’s been a new release. I’ll take a peek soon!

What's going on guys?

I sincerely hope everyone is having a great weekend so far and it only continues to get better!

Tonight, we have the release of V19.0. Without further ado... let's jump into the details of what makes V19.0 a worthy successor to V18.1!
...

Thanks for the new release! I just tried it out on my HD10 2019 and had some observations:

I was using the insider preview of Windows 11 and the toolbox said because I wasn't using windows 10 I needed extra drivers to which I said yes and it installed google drivers. But I was getting strange error messages and crashing on the toolbox so I reverted back to Windows 10 and all was well without altering the toolbox install at all.

When installing the Google services the toolbox would stall on each download and I would have to hit the X and do it again for each download and again one final time more for all 4 to successfully install. It was successful just had to keep restarting the process.

In hybrid apps the check seemed to stall and only Netflix installed, Disney+ failed and then when I tried again it wouldn't get past the "checking" five minutes about until I lost patience.

Custom launcher, I selected Nova and enable widgets however the disable fire launcher selection would get highlight on mouseover but it wouldn't stay highlighted. It did however disable the fire launcher in the next process screen.

Finally, Menu 2 is really difficult to notice! I had no idea all those features were there if I didn't randomly click that little arrow beside the lower box with the device name!!!! Maybe some text with that arrow to say next page or more features etc?

If you need any logs or anything at all just let me know!

I really appreciate all your hard work!

Thank you! Cheers!

EDIT:

I tried rebooting and reconnecting to the toolbox however the hybrid apps now just sit at checking. If anyone can point me to the correct Disney+ app it would be appreciated. I just downloaded from apkmirror.

Side note for Amazon Prime Video, I used the debloat (recommended) and then it wouldn't install from Play store so I manually reenabled and works fine. I registered the tablet after factory reset and before using the Toolbox.

I'd just like to add that I never noticed the double dots on the top right of a couple of subtools. There are a couple of hidden tools there that people have asked about. It would be a good idea to make the second page and those hidden options more noticeable @datastream. Otherwise, good work on the new version. I like.

Greetings and thank you for the feedback!

Ok, I'll see what can be done for the next update! Just happy to see you like V19.0 my friend!

Have fun and let me know what you think of V19.0!

Greetings friend!

You could try one or two things:

1. Uninstall the Debugger manually from the tablet and let the Toolbox re-install it.
   
   Spoiler

   1. Open the Settings app.
   2. Tap Apps & Games > Manage All Applications
   3. Locate Amazon Facebook Share from the list and tap on it.
   4. Tap the Uninstall button, and tap OK to confirm the uninstall.
   5. Launch the Toolbox, and it should install the debugger.
2. Bypass the Debugger check in the Toolbox.
   
   Spoiler

   1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the Toolbox's root directory. ("%LOCALAPPDATA%\Datastream\Fire Toolbox V19.0" if installed using the installer.)
   2. Double-click the "bin" folder, double-click the "Settings" folder.
   3. Double-click the "Settings.txt" file to open it in Notepad.
   4. Locate the string "SkipDebuggerCheck" and change the value from 0 to 1.
   5. Launch the Toolbox, and it should skip the debugger check.

Any of the options above should work. If not, please do not hesitate to let us know and we'd be more then happy to assist further! Best of luck and please have a great day/night!

Thanks for the update! Btw, do you have to update? or it is it safe to just stay on 18.1?

Greetings and great question my friend!

By all means, feel free to stay on V18.1 if you so desire. However, I'd highly recommend updating to V19.0 if possible because you are missing out on the following changes by remaining on V18.1:

Version 19.0

• [About] Redesigned and added more information such as ADB version, Installation/adb directory locations, etc.
• [About] Added buttons for accessing the Toolbox's ADB/Installation directories.
• [Google Services] Implemented integrity check to ensure downloads succeed.
• [Google Services] Added timeout detection for downloads.
• [Settings] Added Setup Tour to the Startup category.
• [User Management] Reworked the tool and updated the UI.
• [Manage Amazon Apps] Added Music and Downloads to the manual app selection list.
• [Navigation Bar Modifier/Quick Settings Modifier] Now reads the configuration and applies changes to the foreground user instead of only applying to the default user.
• [Modify System Settings] Improved the "Hidden" option for Device Dashboard Icon.
• [Privacy Controls] Included the ability to randomize the Household ID if device is tied to one.
• [Manage Amazon Apps] Included the ability to "Load From File..." to the presets for Disable/Hide Amazon Apps.
• [YouTube Clients] Updated all YouTube Clients to the latest versions.

Well speaking of this new tool me & @maven33 have been working in our own "extended" debloat list, i havent tested if it will work with the toolbox yet, but it does work with normal ADB.

(To run this open a command prompt or terminal in the folder where you have the file stored and run: " adb shell < fireos7-full-debloat.txt "
you will need ADB installed and setup as a PATH variable before running this)


WARNING: this list will disable EVERYTHING possible, so if you use this list have your tablet prepared with replacement apps before running it,
This List may also break some thing's (nothing major from our testing) but be prepared just in case.

Ah, but your work inspired the "Load From File..." feature as I was hoping to make it as easy as possible for folks to be able to utilize your guy's growing debloat lists. I've converted the list to a .debloat file the Toolbox can read and attached it below.
