That's what it's all about my friend! Customization is a wonderful thing and this project is all about bringing Android's amazing customization to the Fire Tablets. You go girl! Make the tablet truly yours!Looks good on that bigger screen too. Pickin some different icons, and looking for a wallpaper that'll suit me, sure love that toolbox, Dern, good job @Datastream33 , thanks much!
Indeed it is my friend...
Somewhere, I think in the Amazon Fire Toolbox installation site, I read if you didn't find the name of your Fire (version) to ask for help anyway. Meaning that they would see if they could figure something out, was how I took it. But I'm sure you'll get a response to your question.Hi. It says on the intro 'that any devices produced before 5th generation unfortunately cannot receive support'
Mine is a fifth generation, not before fifth, is this supported?
Thanks
Greetings my friend!I've been having an odd issue I can't find a solution to. On my Fire hd10 (2019), the download manager tells me, at least once a day, it failed to update google play services (or sonething similar).
My play store is version 25.1.24-16, in case that helps. Also, I reinstalled the google services, but the message still pops up. What can I do in this situation?
Datastream's unfortunate system update may have been a blessing for the rest of us. Now he'll have to deal with the problems that people have been having with Google Services and find the root cause just so his own tablet will work properly.Greetings my friend!
Hmm, after my tablet updated itself to Android 9 its been doing the same thing. Could be a lack of permissions?
Hello there.Greetings my friend!

1. Try opening the Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all apps > Show systemHello there.
Hopefully something can be done. While not a big deal, it is somewhat annoying to see the message from time to time.
Well, I've experienced first hand... the annoying Device Dashboard icon and it was quite annoying. Fortunately, it was pretty easy to deal with...
I'll sort it out this weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions:
» I don't see my tablet listed in the supported devices, how can I request support to be added?
* For the requested tablet to be supported, we need a little more information from you in order to add support. Please download this .zip file, extract the folder within the zip to the desktop, and run the Identify.bat (make sure your tablet is plugged into the PC) file to get the code name of the device. Once the code name is found by the tool, press any key to copy it to the clipboard. Now reply to the forum with the code name, and the tablet's complete name. See the example below for reference:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.firelauncher

Hi Datastream33, I used your fire toolbox to unlock my kids kindle and works great!
OlálHi Datastream33, I used your fire toolbox to unlock my kids kindle and works great!
But, apparentely there is some problem with google play services and family link (google app to control kids access).
When I try to login with a google account vinculated to family link, the tablet search for an google service update for a while and then shows an error message (cant find the update).
After some attempts I decide to login with my regular account and works fine.

The fisrt image say: Downloading Google Play Services updates and the second one "An error occour, try again later".
I guess Google Family Link requires some aditional files than regular google play service.
Could you please help me with that? I'm greatful for you kindness with fire toolbox but I´m asking because protect my kids is something important to me.
Greatings from Brazil!
Pedro
It's fine if your tablet registers w/Amazon. As for updates, it really depends where your interests/passions lie. Blocking updates will give you more control over the device but an inferior experience with some apps, especially those linked to the Google ecosystem. Allowing updates will resolve most app issues but limit device customization. It's important to understand there is no going back once your device updates.I just got a Fire HD 10 (2023) that I ordered yesterday.
When I ordered it, I did not uncheck the "Link the device to your Amazon account".
So far, I have not turned it on. Would it be a problem if it updates to latest FireOS?
Wouldn't I be able to still use the Toolbox??
If updating is a big deal, I guess I would just have to turn off my Wifi at home, turn the tablet on and factory reset it. This way it should forget my home wifi, shouldn't it?
Greetings
Hello I have used V33.1 and I have a few problems, I have a fire kindle 8 2020 and I can’t disable fire launcher, (I am using Microsoft launcher BTW) also I am trying to restore a backup (made on fire toolbox) to my kindle 7 2019 but I can’t seem to find the backup I made on my kindle 8 to restore it on my kindle 7 plz can you help me.
(If my problems are fixed in the latest version,I can use it as I’m on holiday and I don’t have any Wi-Fi)
FTB is not designed as a full system backup utility; it basically just backs up the device "configuration state" . A full system backup requires system root access , which isn't available on newer Fire tablets.
I don't necessarily see a problem with restoring the 2020 backup onto a 2019 model (they both run Android 9). However, I would HIGHLY advise against restoring the 2020's settings database onto the 2019 as there are some keys in some of the tables that could result in a soft brick if changed. But, if you're just trying to copy the apps from the 2020 to the 2019 then I say go for it. Just make sure to create a backup on your 2020 with ONLY the user apps option selected (make sure to name it something simple like "UserApps_Backup" for easy identification later), then restore that newly created backup onto the 2019 tablet. Here's how:Backups can be restored to a different device IF it's the same model and firmware version. (I.E. you have 2 Fire HD 8's that are both the same.) If you try to restore to a different model or year, you'll have to keep your fingers crossed. It might work, but don't rely on it.
I used the Toolbox for the first time yesterday and installed the Aurora Store and remove screenlock. IIRC, I had to choose between signing in with my Google account or as Anonymous. I chose Anonymous. Now I find that my File Manager app (which I use to send books to the Fire using FTP) will only start FTP File Sharing if 'Anonymous' is ticked. If I untick it then there is no option to 'Start' the FTP.
As far as I can tell the Fire does not have a User called Anonymous. What do I need to do to keep the Aurora Store and get my FTP sharing back to being password-free? Thanks.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING FIREOS 7.3.2.2+ AND THE TOOLBOX (PLEASE READ)
If your tablet is running FireOS 7.3.2.2 or above please note that some functions of the Toolbox may not work due to new restrictions in the new firmware. The following tools either do not work or have limited functionality:
• OTA Updates - OTAs can no longer be disabled, but can be restricted.
• Manage Amazon Apps - Some system apps can no longer be disabled.
We're looking into workarounds to the issues detailed above. Please keep an eye on the forum for further development.

My Home Button isn't working after using the Custom Launcher Tool?Due to the way the process works, it alters your navigation bar's home key to send a key event that can be picked up by Automate. Once Automate reads this event, it launches your custom launcher automatically. However, if the flow in Automate isn't running, the navbar key will not work, and nothing will happen when it's tapped. To fix this, either open Automate and start the "Launcher Invoker" flow again, or execute the Custom Launcher tool in the Toolbox, click the ":" icon (upper-right) to show the Tool Options panel, and click the "Restore Navigation Bar" button to restore the stock layout. You can execute the "reset_navbar" (without quotes) command in the ADB Shell tool.
Google Family Link won't work on my tablet?Unfortuently, no matter how hard we try, we still haven't been able to get Family Link to work correctly on the tablets. The Family Link app fails to install, and the Child account refuses to login. No matter what we tried, we couldn't get a Child account to work on the tablets.We believe this has to do with missing dependecies, and the tablets not being certified through Google's Play Protect platform. We're still activly looking into getting the issue resolved. Until then, it's recommended that you use an alternative such as Amazon's FreeTime, Eyezy, or another third-party family managing software.
How can I remove a Google Account from my tablet?Because of the missing accounts section in the Settings app it will be a little more difficult to remove Google Accounts directly from the tablet. The easiest way that I've found is to visit this page: https://myaccount.google.com/security, sign-in to your Google Account, scroll down to "Your Devices" and click the "Manage devices" button. From the list of devices find your tablet and in the upper right-corner click the 3-dot icon and from the list select "Sign out".
Can the Toolbox be used to root my tablet?Primarly, rooting a Fire Tablet requires the user to open the back of the device and short out a certain point on the motherboard. The Toolbox has been designed for folks who'd rather not bark down this alley. It uses the power of ADB to make changes, and is meant to be an alternative to rooting. In summery, the Toolbox isn't designed to root.
The Toolbox is being marked as a virus?This is likely because the Toolbox (and it's installer) aren't signed with a software license. This freaks Windows out because it sees that there is no publisher, and as a result it displays a warning (smartscreen). In addition, some anti-viruses might also flag the Toolbox as a virus simply because the build is relatively new and there is no record of it in the anti-viruses database, resulting in a false positve.As always, I take your security and privacy VERY seriously! If you do not feel safe with installing the Toolbox due to virus concerns, I respect and support your decision. It is always up to the user and their judgment!
