Hi,
is it better to install Playstore first or Fire Updates first on new HD8?
On my 7 I installed Fire Updates First then Apps from Amzon then Playstore.
But Youtube from Playstore is better so I reinstalled it and up to now haven't got Ok Google working.
May be doing it the other way round is better.
My Fire 7 also got a little slow by all this, when pressing home some seconds only wallpaper then the Icons appear.
I haven't login to amazon on my new Fire HD8, so no updates are done and installed Playstore first then Google App.
But same issue Google App hangs when enabling Ok Google on all screens and says can't connect after a while (to whatever).
I have a Fire 7 7th Gen, running Fire OS 5.4.0.1. It has Apex launcher & Launcher Hijack v3. I ran the script to setup widgets successfully.
I did set the Accessibility options for:
Apex Launcher
Apex Automatic Install / Uninstall Pro
To detect home button press
all on.
rebooted.
I see a flash of the stock launcher followed by Apex, which I understand is normal.
Sometimes I see a message :
Use Apex Launcher as Home with a 'Just Once or Always ' choice,
I say always but it does not seem to stick. Did I miss any steps
in setting up an alternate launcher, or is it more Fire OS weirdness?
For the most part, the directions are fine, and everything works around
95%. I have the launcher running an HTC sense style flip clock / weather
widget, mini widget (battery, wi-fi, bluetooth and airplane mode in
a 1x1 widget) and a calendar agenda widget all working as expected.
I just wondered if it is just a Fire OS thing for it not remembering
I'd set use Apex Launcher always before??
Running Apex (free) on 7th Gen 10 Inch 5.5.0.0. Doesn't ask for me it sticks.
I don't know, weird. I suppose I should be happy that it woks as well as it does . It does seem more responsive
than my 5th gen Fire 7's

If I had to guess, I would say it's a new thing with the most recent Amazon patch. Maybe they came to the conclusion they weren't going to win users over with their launcher. Though it asking all the time is annoying, It could be a way to switch between them. The flash happens on all launchers, some more so or less so than others. On 5.4.4.0 you could Downgrade Fire launcher and uninstall/disable it, while keeping the home button, but breaking the recent apps button, but there is no flash. However you can downgrade back to 5.4.0.0, since you do have a 7th Gen. tablet.

I just want it to work reasonably, (if that is itself not unreasonable ).
Since 5.4.0.1 I am having problems installing Kodi No Limits builds,
the wizard gets loaded, and then is unable to download any of the
4 builds from any of the sources. It worked fine with 5.4.0.0 and 5.3.3.0
(which came on the tablet). Sometimes widgets stop updating for
not reason. I wish Amazon would let the device work as I the user
want it to. What I want to run as user app is my business on my
device not theirs.
Fire Launcher can be force stopped and its data cleared. There does
not appear to be any updates. The usual Android option to disable is
missing. Is there a package manager command to disable or hide it
or something? Something I can issue from adb shell?

Keep in mind Amazon does not market this device as a fully customizable Android tablet. It exists as a captive (locked down) portal to Amazon's vast ecosystem. Ever wonder why there are no open/unlocked tablets at similar price points? Money talks.

The widget issue I think has a lot to do with not being able to control wifi scan intervals or other scan related functions so the wifi drops out more than it should. For example, one setting not available is the 'avoid poor connections' toggle. With root, there are apps and simple build.prop edits that control that some of those features. With older Fire 7s, the Nexus custom ROM really does an incredible job of fixing the problem altogether.

You can use Total Commander Wi-Fi transfer.
Good afternoon, I have an Amazon Fire HD 8 2022 12th Gen tablet.
I would like to know if there is a way to locate an amazon tablet? I used Fire ToolBox to install google services.
I tried to install the "Find Device" application from the PlayStore, but the tablet does not appear, only other android devices that are logged into my account appear.
I want to use location to find out where my son is, since he is the one using the tablet.
I'm also having a problem using the microphone on the YouTube app on the PlayStore. My son uses the microphone to search YouTube.
When I click on the microphone button on YouTube, "Listening" appears, but the microphone icon in the middle of the screen is gray, and when I speak it does not appear at all. And if you click on the gray microphone icon, the message appears: "This link cannot be opened".
Thanks
