FiredTV Launcher is a 'replacement' for Amazon's Home/Launcher app which does not show sideloaded apps.

How does it work?
While it's not possible (yet/without root) to actually replace the launcher app, FiredTV effectively does this by watching for Amazon's launcher being opened, and then immediately launches itself. Because of this, you will see Amazon's home screen flash on the screen very briefly after pressing the home button, before FiredTV Launcher appears.
Installation
You can install the app by grabbing the .APK directly from the releases page: https://github.com/Redth/FiredTVLauncher/releases
You will need to sideload the app. There are many guides available how to do this on the forums.
Once the app has been installed, go into your FireTV Settings, go into Applications, find 'FiredTV' in the list, select it, and select 'Launch Application'
Enjoy!
Where's the Java?
If you looked at the source, you may have noticed that there's no Java. That's because this was written entirely in C# using Xamarin! C# is awesome, go use Xamarin!
What's next?
Obviously this launcher is very simple, and there's not much to it. I'm planning on adding some Settings configuration within the app, so you can do things like hide apps, reorder them, hide labels, change colors, etc.

Setting and configurations don't survive on reboot
Really great app but what I notice is the settings don't survive a boot, such as app placement configuration, customizing the time and date, which apps to show and hide etc. Please fix this problem and make the settings stick! Thanks!

Is there a terminal command, or an intent, I could send to Advanced Settings to get it to set the ambient brightness level to what I want between 1 and 255? My coding skills are zero, but I use Wearshell and Tasker a lot, and I know how to send shell commands to my watch and I know how to sideload Tasker apks onto my watch to send intents. I love the advanced settings app and I use it a lot. Any help is appreciated thank you.
is there a file advanced settings keeps it's settings in? could I swap that file out for copies of the file that have custom settings I've configured? I ask because I use tasker and autovoice a lot and it'd be great to speak a settings profile and have it activate thank you
Hello users of android! ! !
I was playing with Java programming and decided to give an update on a launcher (LauncherAdvanced).
I liked the idea so much when I did this because it was ADW launcher advanced sources and therefore was perfect for android 1.6 to 4.3, but we're getting overcome with this launcher. So now I decided to bring a new promise, a more modern launcher for our unit.
I would like to remind everyone of the purpose of the launcher I do, I never thought to have great settings if you like big conigurações, use other ...
The purpose of this launcher is different! see the feature below:
Feature:
Launcher and tiny package for a modern launcher
Lower RAM consumption
Best performance in transition between home and apps drawer
60% of transparency in the statusbar ('ll do 100% in future versions)
60% of transparency in the navigation bar

STATUS:
When the launcher is in development and I appreciate any Java developer to assist in this development (all credits will be given in post # 1 in contributors)
For the developer help is needed here, since other than to increase thousands of settings, for you are aware of the purpose of this launcher.
If you are a developer and want to help just let me know and I will gladly share the sources needed for development.
What does not work?
When everything works well, we have just the launcher configuration button that has not yet added their elements
DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION 0.1
Be happy with your new launcher lightweight, fast and modern.

Hi developers,
Did you know that Android detects different screen pressure right from the API 5 (Eclair, Android 2.0)
Well, I wanted to enlighten you about it, I created a library for Android that takes advantage of this property to implement the Force Touch (or 3D Touch), you can display it at Force Touch, I have also created a dedicated app to give the opportunity for developers and not, try this library, the app is on the Play Store.
This library can also be used on the launcher and by doing so you can implement ForceTouch on various Google icons of the applications, not using the Long Press (shortcut) introduced in 7.1. I set myself a custom launcher to test the touch force and are currently in the testing phase, just ready you will see everything on GitHub.
v2.0.0 Update (Coming Soon!)
Here we are!
The touch force is ready and is going to get on the custom launcher !!
As promised I've implemented Force Touch in my custom launcher ... and you see the picture

Yes, I'm working with shortcuts Android 7.1 Nougat! and will soon be available for custom launcher from API 14 !!
I've also implemented Activity to calibrate Force Touch depending on screen device!!

appSelector - Apps on Google Play
Select automatically for each mime-type or website the browser to open a URL
play.google.com
Android allows you to select a default app for specific activity. The implementation is pretty broad, and limited too depending on the OEM version of the software.
But if you want to customise this behaviour further, there is a nifty app called appSelector that allows you to choose the browser or app to use for a specific site. It allows granular control over the Default browser feature of Android.
This is also useful if the browser you use doesn't support the 'Open in App' feature:

}
As you can see in the screenshot above, if I open a Play Store link in my Firefox browser, I have the option to choose whether to open that link in the corresponding Android app. Some browsers, however, don't provide this option. This app comes in handy in such cases too. Just set up the site in this app.
Next time you need to open a site in its app, simply use the share menu in the browser and choose appSelector:
The link will now automatically open in the right app/ browser that you want it to.
That's it.
You'll find more such unique apps here:
Unique Apps for Android
In this post, I will include some unique apps I have found that do not have competing alternatives (or let's say, I haven't found anything close enough to compete). 1. FolderSync 2. appSelector 3. Photo Tools 4. Hermit I will keep updating this...
