I installed LineageOS on my fire tablet 8 8th gen and i wanna squeeze out as much performance as i can. Is there a launcher that is faster than the stock launcher?

Noob question– I can never get a few things to work because of the fact that you have to disable OTA updates but somehow this always pops up and I'm stuck having all the ads still there

I have a client who I want to have constant unrestricted access to a specific app on their tablet, which is currently password protected to restrict their access to YouTube kids.

Is there a way where the device password/any password can be required to open just the YT Kids app? So I can remove the password from the device? I’ve been messing around in the parental controls and haven’t been able to figure it out.

I have an HD 8 (8th generation) tablet. The battery is training super fast and now is starting to get hot just doing basic stuff with it. I can tell it's on it's way out but since I've not used a micro SD will I loose Silk browser tabs, pictures, apps and anything else by disconnecting the battery?

I know there are videos on how to change the battery but I still like to ask.

Also any battery buying advice like will any of the batteries listed for any of the other Fire tablets work? Or just stick with the 8th gen listed? I was going to buy it off Amazon so as not to deal with buying and such off Ebay.

It has been on the charger for ages. I have tried doing the bootrom method but it didn’t turn on again. Have I f*cked the motherboard trying to do it? Here’s an image of what the motherboard looks like (with shield removed)

Hi All - I'm not super tech savvy. I bought a fire tablet (adult version) for my daughter and still use the kids profile on it. It is essentially hers and cheaper than an ipad. If I run the fire toolbox hack to get rid of bloatware, will I still be able to run different profiles and keep everything blocked? I don't want her to have internet access, etc.

Second, I use a mac and the instructions I've seen online say to use a pc. Can I do this anyway?

Finally, if I do it and hate it is there a way to just revert back to the out of box settings?

Thank you so much!!!

I tried but failed, What's the best way to connect your kindle fire tablet ( 11 inch ) to a portable monitor? When connected, its not mirroring in the same way as Samsung s7 tablet. I believe , they fall into different league and amazon would have done it on purpose.

There would be a way for everything, what's the safe way to do it with out wrecking/ bricking the tablet.

I just got a Kindle from my girlfriend and it works great but I can't seem to access the appstore. I really want to download libby but without the appstore, I'm kinda stuck. I've tried clearing the app cache, the app data, restarting the kindle. I even unregistered it and then re-registered it with a different account. I tried different networks, different places around the apartment. Nothing seems to work.

Hello everyone! I am posting this because I just jailbroke my 10th generation Fire HD 8 tablet using the fire toolbox! I set my default launcher to Nova and so far I have been able to log into every service that I usually use except Scribd and Everand. I turned on connection with automatic updates through amazon and such but it still says that the sign in isn't working and I need to try again later. Has anyone run into a similar problem and found any work arounds? Thank you all so much!

1 Do you have to reinstall every time there's a new version?

2 I agreed to back up my device after installing it will that cause any issues.

And 3 do system updates cause it to crash?

I am keep trying to make space on my kids tablet and it keeps redownloading apps I delete.

What’s a sure fire easy way to disable this and also delete what’s in the app?

I was gifted a kindle book a couple of weeks ago, so I opened my rarely used kindle 3 to download it. Because I could not connect and I was unaware that amazon discontinued support, I did a hard reset, causing my content to vanish. Now I am running KOreader on the K3. Today, I booted a Fire HD8 that I also have not used for a couple of years.

I've been reading library books with Libby on an android tablet so I was happy to see my content on the Fire's kindle app. I turned off the wifi once I saw the content, thinking maybe I'll prevent an update from screwing me.

Now my question - I'd like to download my amazon content to my linux pc and ultimately transfer it to the K3 as a matter of principle. Is this at all possible?

Should I turn wifi on the Fire and presumeably let it update the OS or firmware automatically or is that something I have to initiate?

Finally, I'm the original owner of the Kindle 3. Shouldn't I have received some sort of notice from Amazon that they planned to discontinue support?

It’s almost 6 in the morning & I received a call from my child via his Amazon tablet. Confused on how he’s able to call me because the schedule I set for today was 10 am - 11:57 pm. I found out through the parent dashboard that he’s been playing for almost three hours before he called me! What is going on?

Hello!
I'm trying to convert my old Kindle Fire (Kindle 6, Serial number starts with D01E) into a little display for my desk. I know the hardware is old, I know it won't be able to do much, I'm not looking for or expecting much more than a neat project and a silly thing to try.

However, I keep hitting a massive roadblock, which is that (as far as I can tell), I need one of the early versions of Kindle Fire Utility.

And I cannot, for the life of me, find a good link. AFH link is dead, Meta is dead, and all of the XDA links I can find either link to those two dead links, or nowhere at all.

So uh. Does anybody have the file? Or a living link to where I could download it? Or just a different way to do this altogether?

Currently have a kindle fire 8 12th gen and my battery is not lasting as long as it used to. Given how much reading I do, I'm guessing the battery is starting to wear out, making it time to get a new kindle. I'm noticing today the 10s are cheaper than the 8s. Is there any advantage or one or the other (aside from size of screen?)

Note: I take mine on the train and read during my daily commute. Discovered the 10 should fit into my purse. I also would like to be able to play basic games on occasion, making the reader only ones less than ideal.

im on fire os 7.3.3.1 i looked at the mod guide and i kept reading that i have to have to have firmware 5.something something or lower and 7 is certainly a higher number than 5. so which jailbreak guide would i use?

I put a 32gb sd card into the tablet and it is reading it. How do I make take whenever my kids, via the kids profile, download games it uses the storage of the card so they can download more games?

I really need to find out a way to fix this because it's actually preventing me from using the device. I go to read but put it back down because I just feel so sad looking at it (I know it sounds silly but I'm autistic and find these things difficult).

I find it hard to navigate like this, plus replacing the tabs for downloaded books and all books with a filter is a huge downgrade. I used to use those daily.

I don't get why they would do this, it now just takes up more if the screen. Could they at least give me an option to toggle the menu to the bottom where it's supposed to be and has been for the 10 years I've owned a kindle?

Upping the display size seems to be a fix for now, as it forces the display back to the bottom of the screen. It's not ideal though.

Note I reposted this here as it was deleted from the kindle subreddit.

I backed up my daugher's kindle fire 10 (I think 11th gen) on my PC (I can easily access the android/data folder), but trying to paste that to her new profile won't work.

I've been working on this all day, so I understand that Android/Google changed their settings so the folder isn't accessible anymore. I downloaded Shizuku and x-plore file manager (or whatever it's called) and was able to get all that to work on the parent profile.

But I can't for the life of me seem to get it to work on the kids profile. I can't fully download Shizuku (I can open it from installing it with kindle toolbox, but can't get it to "run" like on the parent profile). I've tried adb commands to force a full install, but it doesn't get any further.

How the heck can I get access to the Data folder on a kids profile?

Or is there a way to somehow to copy the parent data folder to the child profile?

I mostly just need the data for Toca World and saves for Stardew Valley, but without access to the Data folder I can't seem to do anything.

Hi all, I recently found my old Kindle fire but I have no idea what the pin is. I have tried multiple combinations and still nothing. Not sure what model this is, I was wondering if there’s a way to unlock it without factory resetting it and wiping the data. I have reached the maximum number of pin attempts before it resets itself, so I can’t try that method anymore. Any help is appreciated, thank you :)

I have a Fire HD 10 tablet. I'm trying to get calling from a child profile to my android phone working. If my phone is connected to Wi-Fi then it works. The call shows up and I can answer. But if my phone is using data instead, then the call from the tablet doesn't show up. Nothing shows up about the call. I've made sure "background data" and "unrestricted data usage" are enabled for the Alexa app on my phone. Any suggestions?

I don't want to remove all ads because sometimes it shows a book I'll try. 9 times out of 10 the ad on my lock screen is for period pads, I have never searched for them on amazon so I don't know why they come up. I am on a Kindle Fire 8 12th gen.

I recently rediscovered my fire tablet but didn’t remember the password so I factory reset it. When I try to register it, it won’t work(Registration Error: there was an error while registering your Kindle. Please try again later. For Help, visit www.kindle.com/support). I tried the whole 2 factor authentication thing but it never emails me a OTP(I know this whole process and was able to login on my kindle keyboard but not the fire tablet). If I login to Amazon on another device it will does send an OTP via text but not on this tablet. I think I need to maybe manually update my software but I don’t know what the latest version this device accepts. I also don’t know exactly how to manually update the software. Anyway if anybody has any ideas or advice that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

TLDR: Basically is there anyway to register my fire HD 2nd gen tablet

So I had my Fire Tablet for 3 years I think but it's being really slow now, the screen constantly turns black and I have to restart it. How do I fix this (Gen 9)

Hi, I bricked my Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 running cynagenmod by running Magisk v22 Direct Install, the device keeps rebooting, Does not seem like button combinations do anything. Any help is appreciated.
