Is there a tutorial on using adb that I can look up? The launcherhijack apk I'm using keeps getting blocked from FireOS. You'll need ActivityLauncher or somethinig to launch the alternate version of Settings->Battery with the extra menu in the top right corner that's missing from Amazon's version. It makes it a bit less likely to get killed. I have done it successfully in termux on a separate kindle fire connected to the target one with an USB OTG cable but that won't help many people.ĭisabling battery optimization for both LauncherHijack and your chosen launcher helps a bit, too.

I've been trying to figure out a way to do it from within termux on the same device (mostly so I can use the appstore from time to time) but only the shell user seems to have rights to do that and I haven't figured out how to enable network debugging. If necessary, you can re-enable it with:Īdb shell pm enable -user 0 There are no side effects that I've noticed but it will probably get re-enabled on the next OTA update and you'll have to run the command again. I do the same for the appstore () which makes google play store links work. It disables the user account for firelauncher which prevents it from running entirely. For me, the following works without rooting from a PC with adb installed:Īdb shell pm disable-user -user 0
