Hi all,
I've read something about Enable/Disable in the android development forum. There are explanations how to deal with that issues by using adb or shell. To make it more convenient here is a simple straightforward app to do that.
What the app does:
Apps are listed.
Enable state shown
Stock apps are marked
Short click provides enabling or disabling.
Long Click gives some more information.
Precondition:
You have to be rooted (temporary is sufficient)
S-OFF not needed.
HTC SENSE updates automatically, some other launcher as AWD need restart to make the result visble.
Tested on two HTC phone types with Android 2.2 and 2.3 and with SENSE, AWD.
Screeshot and app are attached.
Best regards,
DKbluefish
thanx mate
Disclaimer: I'm in no way associated with Unified Remote. This app is a workaround for an annoying app in Unified Remote, that's it.
Unified Remote is an app that allows you to control various PC programs from your Android device. It has a built-in feature to allow you to create shortcut directly to specific remotes instead of opening the app and clicking your way through the menu, however this system is flawed in that it only works on browser. Try to add such a shortcut to e.g. WidgetLocker, and it will simply add it back in the launcher instead.
As of the latest update, they "accidentally" fixed this by adding a URI Writer tool to create NFC tags. It's possible to use this tool without an NFC tag and launch remotes that way.
I've written an extensive tutorial on how this works and how you can do without this app it here: http://www.pocketables.com/2012/07/...ote-shortcuts-in-non-launchers-heres-how.html
However, if you prefer a simpler solution, I created this app to do that. What it does is give you access to the URI Writer and allows you to configure the app itself to be a shortcut to a single remote. That means that once configured, opening the app means you're opening the remote you configured it to link to.
Warning: This app is designed to work with the full paid version of Unified Remote. The intent used to launch the URI Writer references it being the paid app, so that's the part that probably won't work with the free version. UR is a great app that is worth the money, so I decided not to spend time on making it compatible with the free version. If you like UR enough to need this app, you like it enough to pay for it.
Explanation/tutorial video:
Warning
I am not a developer. At all. I literally can't program. This app was creates using Tasker's new App Factory feature, which allows you to export apps directly from Tasker. The UI, functionality, etc was created using Tasker, not coding. That's the explanation for the file size, since it has to package some stuff from Tasker as well. The Tasker project that this app is an app version of can be downloaded here.
Because of this, the app is provided as a "use at your own risk" deal. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, I don't know. It provides an easy fix to a niche issue with an app I have no affiliation with. I've been wanting a shortcut to the Basic Input remote in my WidgetLocker for months, and this allows you to do things like that.
thx. I just started using LMT/pie and wanted to longpress my Yatse icon to start my xbmc instance. This does the job nicely
The uri writer wouldnt launch, perhaps because of version changes since you made the app, but I copied the uri from a widget configured to do what I wanted and that worked just fine
Today I've been playing with the new modes in lollipop and realised that priority is basically the old silent. With that in mind I went to set it up for during the night and for when at work. Problem is you can only choose one start and one end time so I'd have to pick either overnight or work rather than both. A first world problem I know but I've gotten used to automating my phone (cheers llama)
Does anyone know of a locale plugin that could switch between these settings for use with llama or tasker? This would make it far more flexible! A Google search found nothing
I know an app that you can use to do this. It' Atooma. But I'm not sure that it's working on Android lollipop. You can try it, it's free and you can find it on google play store.

Hi, it looks like Atooma is an app similar to both llama & tasker. I'm not after a new automation app but rather a plugin to toggle new settings found in lollipop that can be used with llama. Thanks for the response though.
I want it too!
Hello everybody!
I am new to XDA Developers and to the Android Tasker app and I need some guidance, please.
I would like to know how I could use the Tasker application to automatically change the type of an S Planner entry from Event to Task, after I click on the "+" button for adding a new entry. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone with Android 5.0.
I tried different settings, and also downloading the AutoInput app, activated the accessibility feature, but I haven't managed to get it working - I just don't know how to tackle this.
Thank you in advance!
P.S.: I see that I cannot post outside links so I cannot post links to the Tasker app and an image of the select list in question, unfortunately.
Hi guys. Now that we have root for the 2017 fire tablet HD, let's share the best apps, tweaks, mods, modules, optimizations etc to get the most out of the tablet.
I just rooted my HD 10 and think this thread is a great idea.
The first thing I usually do after getting root is to install AdAway to block most ads:
https://f-droid.org/repo/org.adaway_56.apk
I want use Nova as the default launcher. Is there a way to disable or uninstall the Fire launcher completely with root? The Hijackthis utility kind of works, but once in a while the Fire launcher will still show when pressing the home button.
Update: I found out how to disable the Fire launcher following the instructions from this thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/development/tips-tricks-root-t3310569
It appears that many of the tips for the older gen HD 10 tablets also apply to the 2017 model. The thread I mentioned in my previous post has instructions on how to disable Fire launcher and Amazon service that are safe to disable via adb. Also I recommend installing Google Play and disabling OTA services using the script in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/tool-disables-ota-lockscreen-install-t3715320
I also installed some of my favorite root apps such as Titanium Backup and Kernel Adiutor. Also grabbed modded Youtube with no ads (non-root) here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71133073&postcount=3
How do we disable all Amazon apps that aren't necessary to get the fastest, smoothest user experience?
Is there a way to change the lock screen and replace it with one that supports pattern unlock instead of a PIN?
Is there a way to permanently disable all Amazon system apps that may launch at startup and run in the background? I want to disable them to get maximum speed and performance from the device. Maybe what we could do is find an app that shows us what's currently running in the background and using up ram, and then figure out a way to permanently disable and or Uninstall them.
These are the system processes that I found running. There are quite a few Amazon-related processes here. Have a look.
The Amazon-related process that I've identified are:
Wake Word Service
System UI
Amazon Metrics Server Application
Fire Content Manager Service
Here Positioning
Precog
Identity mobile platform
Fire Amazon platform
Fire Amazon communication services
Audio stream provider service
Amazon webview metric services
Whisperplay daemon
Documents
Content support manager
Amazon device settings
Crash monitor
Documents
Read the posts in this thread (started by DragonFire1024) to get an idea about what can (not) be uninstalled.
We just gained root, and we do not yet have a reliable method to backup/restore partitions. I would urge you to err on the side of caution and, if you really have to, just control the apps that autorun. You can use the startup manager in ROM Toolbox Lite or All-In-One Toolbox to find out what's running at boot.
Before you start, backup your apps+data using TiBu.
Have you tested the recovery procedure detailed in this post? What's your fallback option if your 10 HD gets bricked? All things considered, a reasonably snappy tablet running some bloat is better than a brick you can't recover from.
These are the apps that I currently have installed on my fire tablet. Feel free to share your apps, too!
Guys,
So I'm using the free version of nova launcher, and one thing that I don't like is that I don't get app notifications. For example, if I get a like on Facebook or a message on Facebook messenger, there's no notification alerting you. Usually you'd see like a "1" on the app icon signaling that there's one new message. Apparently that's because I'm using the free version of nova launcher and the paid version has this functionality built in. I don't want to buy the paid version only to have it not work. Can anyone confirm that the paid version of nova launcher will give me notifications on the app icons, or is this just not supported on fire OS?
*UPDATE*
I think these things are called "badges".
I have rooted my Fire HD 10 2017, installed SuperSU and now of course it does not pass safety net anymore
As I was playing some games from Google Play on the tab, this kind of annoys me, but is no dealbreaker at all.
Has anybody made some experience with hiding root / magisk or something else on the Fire HD 10?
i had posted this information on the main 'rooted fire hd 10 7th generation' thread already but thought it was quite useful regarding nova launcher, playstore and using a child profle:
if you want to use use widgets with nova launcher, just convert nova to a system app. the easiest way i found to achieve this is using the link2sd app.
to use google playstore in a different user profile (e.g. parent profile with child restrictions, as i don't like the freetime child profile) you can also convert playstore to a system app (and clear dalvik dalvik cache,also with link2sd). it showed up in the fire launcher on the other profile right after a reboot. just needed to log in again.
maybe you can use it on a freetime profile as well like that (launch it from GoToApp), but i won't try it out now.

I will test this out today and let you know if I got it to work. The only thing is, I don't have a child profile, I have a secondary adult profile.
Once I got root I put adaway, titanium backup, modded pandora. I also put on the viperaudio. Can do that by adding busybox via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox&hl=en
and you'll also need to use something to set selinux to passive for viper to work. I did this by installing Kernal Auditor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en
I used Kernel Adiutor to emulate init.d and used the below script and it works to make it permissive on boot and viper driver shows enabled to confirm it
#!/system/bin/sh
setenforce 0

The play store hack didn't work for me after following your instructions regarding link2sd. The play store doesn't appear on my other login account.
hm, that is strange. i did two other things before i had root:
trying to install the 4 apks on the other profile, but only the first 2 could be installed: com.google.android.gsf.login.apk and com.google.android.gsf.apk.
and i entered the following command via adb in the main profile:
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
but ony after coverting all of the 4 required apks to system apps it worked. did you convert all 4?
if not, maybe one of the steps before make the difference?

Oh. That must have been what I did wrong. I only converted the play store apk to a system file. I'll do the other three now.

Well now the play store shows up on the other login, but when I tap on it, nothing happens. Also, in link2sd, there's no option to clear "dalvik cache." Only "clear cache" which I did.
I notice that ever since I turned the 4 Google apps into system apps with link2sd, my Facebook app no longer works. It gets stuck in the screen.:
