PS - there is a setting in fire toolbox that inhibits auto amazon updates, and it's these updates that will undo the "customization".
#NOVA LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE HD ANDROID#
Not only will they have the wonderful material ui to use, my tech support is in android and my life is easier
#NOVA LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE HD APK#
So my intent for a few of these cheapies I bought is to set them up with all of the picore, lms UI, lms settings urls bookmarked, a few apps (wifi analyzer, weather, etc) and the material apk installed, and say "here, you owe me $25" (or dinner). So my phone support is difficult, even in person is challenging. I have non technical friends that I have deployed picore server/sb player systems to, and unfortunately (for me) they are apple/mac people. I have bought the little C->micro adaptors with a tether so they are hanging from the charge chords.
#NOVA LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE HD UPDATE#
Occasionally a Fire update will defeat my hacks, meaning I have to do the whole thing again - Fire Toolbox looks a quiker way of achieving this.Maybe we need to glue the adaptors into the fire tablets? I know what you mean, but even the newer fire tablets with usb-c are reasonable (especially the 8") because amazon is selling you "ad machines". I've always hacked my Fires the long way round, but this looks far more convenient. But, for me, that old USB connection issue is a No, even at that price - I'm fed up of finding adaptors for people who keep losing them!īTW, that Fire Toolbox looks very useful - not come across it before. I love my little Fire pads, especially de-Amazoned as you mention. That's a great deal! Though I'm not seeing it here in France. This is the experience of a hijack - you press home and the Fire Launcher appears, but will revert to nova either with a icon press, or after 5 seconds. With my 5.x.x.x the launcher can only be "hijacked" (same with 7.3.2.2 - but doesn't survive reboot). One other thing that I should report, with my 7.3.2.1 tablets, I sub'ed the nova launcher just fine. But for those that might buy new, the path to happiness might not without challenges or even possible. So, with my two 7.3.2.1 tablets, I blocked OTA updates in time, same with my refurbed 5.x.x.x.

The worst being the OTA updates, you can customized but when fire pushed an update, your tablet is reverted (unless you confine the tablet to wifi, but not the internet). Also, you can still hijack the launcher, but it will revert on reboot. Here's where the problem comes in (at least right now), and XDA has work arounds, but nothing solid - be warned - With Fire OS 7.3.2.2, Fire OS has thwarted the ability of all of the above (except google play store). This makes them "look like" stock android. The fire toolbox (XDA developers) can do so many cool things, but the main ones are - remove ad lockscreen, allow launcher change (I use Nova), Prevent over the air updates (which can revert your tablet to original Fire function), and allow the google play store to be added. Turns out my pervious fire tablets, an HD8 and HD10 were Fire OS 7.3.2.1, Also a good thing. Turns out that they were an old Fire OS 5.x.x.x which is loosely, android 5. I received two $20 refurbished Fire HD8 Tablets (2017) for $20 each and they were in perfect shape. I wanted to post back to let you know what I learned, with a warning (see red). I know I might be walking the line regarding this being a sb forum and me posting about tablets, but its in the vein of using the tablets as UI/Kiosks running material. These are "good" so maybe (?) they will have some marks? Finally, they seem to be a little laggy at times, but only by today's standards.īut for $20, you don't even need a case, as it would probably cost you more! Also, the ones I have gotten in the past were "condition - very good. I have a USB-C -> micro adaptor handy at my charging locations. I then basically have them laying around in listening areas.Ī couple notes, they come with a charger, but this gen is Pre USB-C. I also add a few simple widgets (like weather, sports scores) and a browser. What I do is run XDA Developers "Fire Toolbox" which removes the Amazon aspect of the tablet, adds google play, Nova Launcher, basically creating a "stock android like" experience. I actually prefer the 8" (ease of handling, use in portrait), so for $20. I have also bought and set them up for friends.

I have a few of these laying around as LMS/Material UI's with the benefit of a quick browser. $5/$10 upcharge respectively to double the memory For those in the US (and maybe elsewhere?), Woot! (Amazon closeout "deal" arm) is selling refurbished Fire HD Tablets 7th generation (2017) for $USD20.00 for the 8" and $USD40.00 for the 10".
