Still sounds like going have to flash the firmware on it especially way OP describe it, but thats exactly why I pointed to xda forums as they deal with this kinda of stuff. The developer, Datastream33, is good about responding.Ahh so your familiar with it But it doesn't actually remove or delete them.Īs suggested, best bet is to ask in the Fire Toolbox thread in the XDA forums. It does, by automating the adb command process, make system changes and disables any or, if you wish, all Amazon default apps. It's a non-root tool - has nothing to do with rooting the tablet. I've used the Fire Toolbox mentioned, and it's a great tool. The developer, Datastream33, is good about responding. I'm not sure how the OP ended up deleting the Fire Launcher, as that's not usually part of the process.Īs suggested, best bet is to ask in the Fire Toolbox thread in the XDA forums. I ended up just living with the Fire Launcher as is. I actually don't mind the normal Fire updates or Amazon services so I didn't want to disable the updates.
WINDOWS LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE UPDATE
I tried running Nova on my HD 8, but after a week or two, some update would go through re-enabling the default Fire Launcher, and I'd have to use the Toolbox again to disable the Fire Launcher to use Nova again. There is the option to disable OTA updates, because Amazon regularly sends small updates to re-enable a lot of those features, like the launcher. Use Amazon Fire Toolbox to Hide Amazon Launcher (Search XDA Forums to Download) Launcher Hijack & Nova Launcher (Amazon Blocked Launcher Hijack on their devices, but you can find bypassed apks online) The xda fire toolbox should be able to disable it. But it doesn't actually remove or delete them. After Kindle Fire is completely powered off, wait for 10 more seconds. Release the Power and Volume down buttons once Kindle Fire is completely powered OFF.

WINDOWS LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE PC
There may be other ways using adb commands connected to a PC and all that, but I don't know if you can get to your device setting page to enable all that if there is no available interface with the tablet. Anything else you installed outside of Amazon will have to be manually added back in. It may ask it you want to do that anyway after signing in to the account. If you keep it tied to your Amazon account, you should be able to re-install your apps. Use the volume buttons to select the option for "wipe device/factory reset". Keep holding them down through the Amazon logo, and it will boot to the recovery screen. Then press the Power and Left Volume (or the top Volume, depending on how you hold the device) buttons at the same time. Power down the device - hold the power button down until the option to turn the device shows up, then click "Power off". Although, this is a last resort and wipes your tablet.
