I see you've come to learn how to change the Amazon Fire HD 6/ Amazon Fire HD 7 Wallpaper with no root required! Now before we begin, I must explain something. There are two methods that I've discovered and they both have their pros and cons so please don't complain. Let's begin!
Method 1:
Now this method applies only to certain launchers, for example the only launchers that have worked for me that I've tried so far are: Jolla Launcher and Buzz Launcher. You just have to set your wallpaper and it just works. I do think that this works by using an overlay effect but I'm not completely sure.
Method 2:
Now this has some disadvantages: You can't have apps over the image and the image doesn't cover the whole screen but most of it.
Download the apk from here: "apkgames.apk.onl/app/com.billyfrancisco.photogallerywidget.html" and install it.
Next on a launcher you want to use this on, app a widget and choose the 5x5 widget choose the picture you want to set and there you go. You can also scale the widget to make the image bigger or smaller.
Thanks for checking this thread out and I hope I helped!
yes i used buzz launcher and thanks to powerpoint45 for gapps and default launcher tutorial. Now i love HD 6 even more bc of the 6" size lol. The only thing that I really need is root and adaway, otherwise it's awesome no complaint.
Do widgets work with buzzlauncher ?
I think they do I'll have to check.
yes widgets work
Installed buzz launcher, disabled stock launcher via ADB but can't add widgets to homescreens. Just end up in the Fire HD Settings Menu, same issue as I had with Nova Launcher when trying to add widgets.

Can you tell me how you are adding the widget(s)? Are you tapping them? Dragging them out? Also, try adding a different widget if one isn't working.
just go to app draw then hit widget tab, from there just hold any widget to the homescreen .
Here is the sample: spotify, flipboard, weather, youtube.

long press on homescreen, add, choose widget.
Only one that worked was the googel search bar, pretty much everything else ends up in the Fire HDs settings menu.
*edit* Tried dragging the widgets out of the app drawer, same result.
Maybe it's related to blocking all the Amazon processes as per this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58360063&postcount=5
So I tried unblocking everything except com.amazon.kindle.otter(the native Fire HD launcher) and rebooted the device.
Tried to add widgets again but nope, none except the fire HDs natives internet search bar works. Not even the buzz widgets.

Are you using the built-in Buzz Launcher Widgets? It could be those. Try installing other widgets and let me know if that works because it's probably just the Buzz Launcher Widgets. Also, try applying a different theme as for some themes may not allow certain widgets.

Yes I've tried loads.
VLC, 1Weather, google now, google calendar, calculator,email, tapatalk, google play music, ....
Another theme is a good idea...which one you're using in your screenshot ?
I've tried 2 or 3 random themes but with those adding widgets also doesn't work(pops up system Settings menu)
It works
By doing what as you told, it seems like works, good job for you!
Thanks so much Works for me.

As the title says I am looking to use Command Center Widget with Action Launcher but it does not show up. Am I missing something? I know it was possible on the Original Turbo but I had root so any help is appreciated!
Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
maybe not what you want to hear but the command center widget works well on nova launcher iff you want to change launchers. Or you could try the moto z command center that might work

I heart Action Launcher! Lol thanks though. Installed the Moto Z and it doesn't show up either. So odd.

Here's my situation, I've had that widget on my first homescreen using Action Launcher 3 for like the last six months. I removed it yesterday just to try something different, installed Zooper Widget Plus and put my old custom text widget there. Today, I've uninstalled Zooper, went to add Command Center back, and it's just not in my list of available widgets either.
But it totally was before! It was even in Action's widget list before, always! I think one of the last Action Launcher updates may be the culprit, I'm emailing Chris about it.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the Google search bar on home page in stock launcher
Is it even possible??
I never use it
And want to replace it pixel widget
Yes that would help me too

Yeah, I tried it too, deactivate the Google app makes the buttons go away and it stops functioning but it will still be visible.
Alternatively you can install another launcher, that certainly does the job.
I did put a new launcher
Nova launcher pro
But lost my previous launcher backup and now it just too much headache

FYI, you can make Nova Launcher function pretty much exactly like Pixel Launcher. Just a thought...

Very nice i will try your method but how did you got the weather in the top right corner i have the calendar?
Has system tuner been removed from Android 9? How can it be accessed?? I'm unable to find it anywhere.
Yes it's been removed since the beginning of the Android P betas. There is a way to get to it. I believe you need to use Nova Launcher and there's a widget shortcut you can add to the homescreen that still gets you to the tuner but I'm not [emoji817] sure.

Confirmed: you can use Nova to create a shortcut, but most any activity picker app should be able to point to it.
Do a Google search for "system tuner Android 9" and one of the links gives a Nova tutorial on how to do it. The one I used was from Android police.. https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...e-spotlight-heres-bring-back-system-ui-tuner/
Alternately, I used QuickShortcutMaker. It's under the DemoMode header, but it launches the system tuner instead..
