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

[Datastream33]

Hi! I just got an Amazon Fire 10, 11th generation. Found this bc I am incensed by the ads on the screensaver and the limited controls. I'm new to a lot of the language on this page - if I 'install' the Toolbox installer on my roommate's mac book, will I be able to delete without damage to their device?

Also since it's June 2023 - would love a check in if this installer still works w the new tech.

Thank you so much!

This is a tough one. I'm afraid the port was never tested on a Mac before so I'm not sure if it would even work. I unfortunately don't have a Mac or know anyone that does, so it makes it a little complicated...

I'm not sure how to package it, or even run it. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

First attempt - Linux Mint xfce v21.1 -- was missing modules ; installed those fine - stuck on error "ADB cannot identify your device due to a missing udev rule ... " - a helpful button with "How to add Udev Rule" -- however - when I click on it ; launches Firefox (my default) , loads my default page and error box pops up again -- ideas ?

Hi,

I'm now test-driving the newly-minted Linux FTB Many thanks for this @Datastream33

Unfortunately, I hit a snag, and it is requesting that I add a missing udev rule. Clicking on the button on How to Add doesn't do anything but closes and reopens the window prompting to add the rule. I'm running FTB Linux as a regular user which I think is the intended design. My distro is

Distributor ID: Neon
Description:    KDE neon 5.27
Release:        22.04
Codename:       jammy

@Datastream33
Sir,i may have found why i kept getting those updates even though i blocked ota through fallback method (by toolbox 30.3)

When I'm in metered network(which is set to connected wifi by toolbox during procedure) i face no updates....but when i connect to new wifi(while moving between campus/library) it doesn’t stay metered.... It sets to detect automatically.... That's when i get update.....

Is there any way to make it automatically set all new wifi's to metered? Maybe any adb commands?? Or by automate??

Greetings!

May I ask which version of the port you have? In V1.1, the Toolbox should create a udev rule for you.

I did try downloading a fresh copy three times but was faced with the same results unfortunately

This may not be a helpful post but...

I think I had this error yesterday when I installed on Mint 21. From memory, the advice I recall I found was to make sure the Fire was unlocked, connected and awake when installing the toolbox.

I will double check that later (hopefully still in my browser history) and report back, but for now it might get you going. Suffice it to say that I was able to install and get the toolbox working.

Edit: yes indeed, I'd found my answer earlier in this thread....

I installed the toolbox yesterday under linux (Mint 21) and proceeded to debloat and tweak etc in the hope of deAmazoning my Fire (a 2nd hand 10th gen 8, on 7.3.2.7)

I've got the known issue of replacing the Fire launcher (I've used Nova for years and like it) that I'm currently trying to resolve. Launcher Hijack sort of works, it's hit and miss. The 'home' key usually activates/displays the Fire launcher and then after a few seconds, Nova takes over... or sometimes not. It's annoying but not a show stopper. Simply tapping on the Hijack app gets Nova back. If I find a solution, I'll post it.

I seem to have stopped OTA updates (more by luck than design) but have now set 'restricted' via the toolbox anyway. Initially, I got updates so tried the RethinkDNS solution but I wasn't happy with it; it seemed to mess with internal network connections. I use my tablets as device controllers too; Kodi, Sonos, LMS, etc and these apps sometimes didn't work. Tbf there's probably a solution somewhere in the settings but I didn't play around with them. Short of it is that I removed it but have had no OTA updates since (touch wood)

As the more mature version of toolbox seemed to be on the Windows platform, I tried that first. I only have a Win7 setup (a 'just in case' box) but had problems getting the Google ADB drivers recognised. The linux version installed perfectly and is a very slick, intuitive and complete piece of software - I'm most impressed

Maybe you meant me. I have a link in my signature to a small collection of Amazon updated apps, and another link to a fuller collection.

Seems familiar

But I am not able to see the signature... maybe cause on mobile?

Desktop view is also not showing something or I am real blind...

Thanks

I had pulled V1.0 - thanks ; will review updated one - my mistake ; I thought I had snagged the latest. In very short term - I got a functioning tool - downloaded the portable version and used my wife's laptop to create on USB drive to use there

What's going on guys?​

I sincerely hope everyone is doing good, and had a fantastic weekend!

As some of you may know, Amazon has just launched a brand new tablet... the Fire Max 11. In celebration, I'm happy to announce the release of a brand new update for the Windows version of the Toolbox! (man, it's been awhile since the last update!)

So, what's been changed/updated in the new update? Well, let's dive right into the major changes and discuss them in detail!

New Device? Let's Add Support!​

Well, it's finally the day! The day Amazon offically drops the brand new Fire Max 11 tablet! Looking into it, the tablet seems pretty solid! As always, we're not quite sure how the new tablet will play with the Toolbox... but I guess we'll have to find out someway, right? This is just the long way of saying the Toolbox now supports the new tablet. For those of you who have picked one up, could you please get it a try and let us know how it goes? Thanks!

Anyone Up for Modifying the Settings Database?​

Ah, the brand new subtool on the block - it's the Settings Database Modifier!

Inspired by android apps like Settings Database Editor by 4A, I thought it would be cool to create a tool that let's you view, edit, and modify your tablet's settings database directly from the Toolbox. You'll find this beauty in the Modify System Settings tool as an option next to the System UI tab.

I must warn you now that there are some limitations to using the tool. Your mouse's scroll wheel will be disabled in the tool (only in THIS tool), requiring the use of the scrollbars, arrow keys, or by simply clicking to navigate in the listboxes. Of course, this is mostly due to over-complicating the UI... but it isn't a certified datastream tool if that wasn't the case I'm afraid!

As far as changing a database value goes, all you need to do is double click the one you want to change in the list, and then a new panel will pop up and from there you can set a new value and save changes. Pretty cool stuff aye?

Anyway, for those of you who are curious about what's in the settings database... I'd highly recommend giving the new subtool a try! Also, let me know what you think about it... if you don't mind that is!

New Coat of Paint and Improvements for the Push & Pull tool?​

Ah, now this is one of the tools I really wanted to dive into and improve. We started first with the UI and worked on updating it to match the UI of the Python port's Push & Pull tool design. Not only did the UI get an update, but we also took the liberty of making several more improvements to the tool. Let's take a closer look...

Pathing - Paths are now validated before they are used as the working directory. This includes escaping special characters (such as spaces) which would normally lead to an incorrect path being used. In addition, the list directories and files functions have been updated to ensure the proper contents are displayed in their proper panels - so directories with periods (.) will no longer appear in the files column.

We've also added a refresh button so you no longer have to navigate to a new path and back to the previous just to update the file/directory listings.

Next, 2 new tabs were added at the bottom of the tool:

1. Tasks - Shows a list of all currently running operations.
2. Logs - keeps track of all completed operation results, such as success and failure operations.

But perhaps the most import improvement to the tool... you can now have 4 tasks running at the the same instead of the previous limit of 1. No more waiting for a single task to complete!

Some Changes on YouTube Clients...​

As some of you may know, TeamVanced recieved an Cease and Desist order from Google and the Vanced project was shut down. However, even though the project stopped, TeamVanced assured that the last release would still work until sometime in 2023... and as of recently that sadly has happened as advertised

So as a result, the option to install Vanced has been removed from the Toolbox. However, to accomidate for the empty slot Vanced left behind a new client has been added. This new client is called SkyTube and it brings a few interesting features to the table.

Go Ahead, Clear Those GServices Downloaded Files!​

Ah, a new feature has been introduced that the Google Services tool really needed for awhile now (in my opinion). The Toolbox is now capable of deleting downloaded files. Located in the Google Service's Tool Options panel (gear icon at the upper-right hand corner of the tool), you will now find two options: one that clears downloaded files for your tablet's android version, and one that clears ALL downloaded play services files. These two options will be so helpful in the event that a download fails and the files become corrupt.

Man, That Device Dashboard Icon is Annoying!​

Tired of seeing the Device Dashboard icon, but don't want to change around your navigation bar's layout? (I don't blame you) Well, I'm happy to say that it's now possible to hide the icon without making any futher changes to the navbar. Apparently, there's been a key in the Settings Database all this time that actually governs the visibility of the icon, and through a simple value change we can hide the icon! Easy peasy!

The Whole Picture​

Wait, that's not everything this update has to offer! Please take a look at the change log below for more juicy changes/improvements:
