I then swapped the chargers over, but that made no difference. Then this wknd I cheated them at the same time, using their correct chargers, and noticed the percentage difference. It does, by automating the adb command process, make system changes and disables any or, if you wish, all Amazon default apps. My old kindle was nowhere near that, only a couple of hours or so. 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. Five months after Amazon debuted its 200 game-changing tablet, the Kindle Fire is feeling more like a McDonald’s hamburger next to Apple’s prime-rib, third-generation iPad. I actually don't mind the normal Fire updates or Amazon services so I didn't want to disable the updates.

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. But it doesn't actually remove or delete them.

Sounds like you had rooted it and deleted the launcher through that toolbox, you'll need to reinstall the firmware again and probably best bet for that is xda forumsI've used the Fire Toolbox mentioned, and it's a great tool. Unless you can do that while in recovery mode.

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.
