Maybe once rooted I will be able to sell it for the half price to someone that want a cheap rooted Lineage or so tablet.Here's my latest attempt at rooting my Fire HD 8 2017 7th generation:Ĭould some knowledgeable person maybe), give me their opinion as to why the batch file ( I've tried entering the commands one-by-one with the same results) seems to come to a halt ( it seems to be waiting for something.but ,as I said it won't allow me to enter anything). Sorry for the OT, maybe in USA rules are different and you can still give it back to amazon telling how the quality bad is.In europe (specially Italy) we don't have so much protection for the buyer I would like to sell it, but I don't know if is it bounded to my account, I have to try to reset (it's on a shelf since months.) but I'm afraid that after reset, once connected it will ask if I want to go on with my amazon account (as it did out of the box), in addiction to that if I sell it I must be the "bridge" between the buyer and amazon if warranty is needed. I try to ask amazon for a refund for the bad quality of the item, but after a month there are no ways, fire policy is only a replacement, no refund, even if it brokes under warranty. Ok, I hope not to be OT, but in europe the HD8 2017 price is $137 with ADS on lockscreen! And no, in europe they don't remove the ads for free even if you are an hardcore buyer like me.I bought it on offer for something like $110, and still I regret my decision.I had the HD rootable with nice roms, I give it as gift to my nephew thinking about a root soon with slimrom for this one too, but nothing happened, and the WORST thing is the storage: since it's based on 5.1 no adoptable sd, can't move 99% of the apps to sd and without root no app2sd link.The Display is horrible (can you really read a book on it? No ways.) I bought on offer the Lenovo 8 Pro for $105 and is a real PRO, I can even use magisk on it for home banking and streaming apps or GPS for google maps! If you don't have one like it you won't see the folder structure beyond what's default through the Fire and your usb connection on the PC. This or another like it helps to see everything on the device. After trying it I upgraded to the Pro version. Start the wrong thing and you'll be resetting.Īnother app that has been a big help is Es Folder Explorer. The author would do well to make activation less simple. It may be an avenue for you to look down.įor anyone else who gives Activity Launcher a try be warned, and be very deliberate and careful with scrolling through it. I've been looking in to the possibility of a forced bind on this through adb but haven't got anywhere. Even though I select Nova every time I go back to Nova's setting it shows FireLauncher as the default. This brings up another panel in the device settings that is hidden from us and I think it is what Nova is looking for when you try to select the default home and it kicks you into Settings with nowhere to get to. This morning I did a factory reset and went back though everything except FireLauncher down grade.ĭragonFire1024, you didn't mention it in your Activity Launcher thread but in the settings portion there is one fore "Home" the activity is $HomeSettingsActivity. I could not resist checking out the activities that it shows and eventually screwed up thing badly. I initially toggled the settings in "apps with usage as DragonFire1024 showed and created no issues. The interesting app and mod was Activity Launcher. I get the flicker once and a while and hopefully a fix will come along. This time(more on that to follow) I am without those two mods. I had also originally done the FireLauncher down grade with the Multi-Action Home Button app, but didn't care for its location and the parental control issue. I also performed the appwidget bind and have them working on Nova without issue. DragonFire1024 had a good thread on it here Right now I have it using Nova Launcher Prime with Hijacker 3. Right off I did the clear of the and it worked great. I went ahead and began experimenting following the advice and knowledge of those that had come before me. Before I reset it to make Amazon unaware of it I regretfully had upgraded to 5.6.0.0. I didn't much like it and saw no real use for it, so I got to researching the possibilities to turn it into something I might use. She had set it up with her Amazon Account. My Daughter in-law bought me one of these for Christmas.
