please tell me i can do something with ADB against that. my boyfriend is already annoyed at those, and i want to do something against it. no root sadly.
I wish, I have not found a way yet and I work in cybersecurity. Though I have to admit I didn’t give it my best at all.
One thing I would like to try soon is running FLauncher. Though I kinda doubt they will allow another launcher to be set as default. Their site offers some workarounds but “Fire OS” is a lot more locked down. For example using the normal ADB command to turn the screen upside down (needed for my projector) is not working either.
Really a shame. I bought a new TV with Android OS because it isn’t locked down, and gifted my BF my old Fire Stick because he got a TV with the shitty Samsung OS. Wish i could block the new ads for him.
I found that the following helped: by never turning it off it just continues where it left off last time it was used. This assumes power is independent of TV.
