Can you uninstall/disable the lockscreen (not about ads) - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way over adb maybe? I don't need a lockscreen.

Do you have root? With root there is a way.

I don't. I posted this question in the same forum where they discuss removing system apps over adb but it got moved here. I thought the same method could be used for the lockscreen.

Has there been any update to this? is it possible?

Not without root, as far as I know. DragonFire1024 appears to be making progress from the looks of the "Root progress for Fire HD 8" discussion, though.

Ok

is there no app?
Right now, even the apps that need root are not working, due to incompatibility with 4.3.
anyone found a solution yet for NON root only? (4.3)

There is no app that will do that except rooted. The only one that shows correctly is Play Movies(from what I've heard) I guess the reason Google did this is to try and monopolize on it. Otherwise you have to root.

here, have a look at this thread if you have 4.3 you'll have to use the script , it has been updated for 4.3. I'm not sure if the apps work on 4.3 yet, but you can try them, another thread with apps is suggested in that thread I never used the apps so I don't know.

How do I obtain root for Android Wear?

I know about unlocking the bootloader by ADB, but how do I actually root my watch so I can install TWRP and eventually custom ROMs?
I have a Gear Live btw.

Well on the G Watch you have to boot a modified boot image in order to root the watch. Not sure if something like this exists for the Gear Live. You should probably post this in the Gear Live forums..
Edit: Just noticed you already did so I guess this can be closed then as it's device specific?

Android P Developer preview

https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html#images
So far it's great, I know a lot of people won't like the left hand clock and the other visual changes but I personally love them. Battery standby seems amazing so far but it's too early to tell.
You can use this thread to talk about Android p, installation questions or report what apps don't work/misbehave.
I've noticed a few apps pop up a toast message mentioning a possible mismatch on API but so far I haven't had an FC.

Agreed with the op. So far it's pretty great and the UI changes are pretty cool. Reminds me of a substratum themed deal now.
Interesting. Choose pixel theme , change it to large display cutout and it makes your pixel look like iphone x. WTF Google?

I'd love to try this but I can't. I'm trying via sideload and getting footer is wrong, signature verification failed, error 21. Does it have to be a manual flash instead of sideload? If so, that may be an issue since Verizon had to replace my Google purchased Pixel (no more warranty from Google but I have a VZW extended warranty). I think I now have the Verizon version where there were questions about unlocking the bootloader. I've only had it for a week so I haven't looked into the possibilities of unlocking.

I wish that were the case. I downloaded it and moved it into a different folder. Same issue. I also tried a different PC, wishful thinking, but it still didn't work. Is your bootloader unlocked? I thought sideload didn't require it but my next step was to look into unlocking it but I won't if it's not needed.

BootROM exploit package for Maverick is under development to root this.
Try to install Xposed Framework without rooting (VirtualXposed): https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/guide-using-virtualxposed-fire-tablet-t4015221
Try to use NoRoot Firewall app from Google Play (VPN firewall) to block internet access from Amazon services and OTA updates.
Try to use KingRoot (many attempts until rebooting or bricking). Just enable OEM unlock on developer options.
Definitely looking forward to seeing Root/TWRP/LineageOS being able to have on the Fire HD 10 9th gen. (2019, aka maverick)
Since xyz doesn't have the time and intereset to do that I hope someone else will have the passion to do that in the near future.

So you want someone else to experiment with unproven methods that you read about in some corner of the internet. Gotcha.
(BTW - OEM unlock has absolutely nothing do to with the methodologies employed by KingRoot which itself is totally ineffective against FireOS v6/7)
The only info i can give you according to the "OEM Unlock" option in the Developer Options is the following:
After trying to enable "OEM Unlock" a Popup shows with the following content:
"Allow OEM unlocking?
WARNING: Device protection features will not work on this device while this setting is turned on".
But no matter how many times I click on the "Enable" button the "OEM unlock" option doesn't stay activated in the developer options menu.
Im on Fire OS 7.3.1.1 (Build Number 001754924060)

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. That's one of the reasons I buy unlocked phones and not from Verizon. I unlock it, root it, install Adaway and Swift Installer right off the bat.

Not that I know of. Why are you hesitant to root? It's not hard. You just need to do your homework and follow instructions. We all had to start somewhere. Also, if something goes wrong, it's rare to really brick a phone. They can almost always be recovered.

There's no risk to rooting. Grab the MDM tool it's your always go to tool to bring phone back to stock if there's an issue.
I used to root for Adaway, Viper, and Substratum but with the theme engine now and Blokada (or my personal VPN) and most of my audio listening is not on this device I actually haven't rooted a OnePlus phone in almost a year. Keep in mind if you root you'll lose L1 provisioning (capped at [email protected] on YouTube TV which is a deal breaker for me) along with Netflix and other things that require Widevine DRM to play HD content. Also, having to update the ROM you gotta disable Magisk modules, disable substratum themes, flash the OTA, then reflash TWRP, reflash Magisk, re-enable all your modules and themes. At least this is how it was on the last round of OnePlus devices. Maybe I'm getting older but just simple flash OTA and reboot at my leisure and everything still just works...

Most apps can be light or dark theme.
You can also install DarQ from XDA Labs to dark theme more apps.
Quick Settings in the app store allows you to add a ton of more toggles to quick settings.
Hope that helps.

It's a bit old but you could try Andromeda from the play store and follow the instructions with substratum both installed and access to a PC worth a try couldn't shouldn't hurt
its pointless anyway
even on rotted OxygenOS most themes dont support it so there are always issues with themes
I prefer running custom AOSP ROMs as then themes work much better in terms of versions etc

I'm using Swift Installer and no problems. I have just about everything blacked out.
Many packages are supporting it now. Liv Dark, Swift, Darc, Liv Light, Valerie. Def worth the few minutes to gain root access.

Given there's no TWRP support as long as nothing goes wrong I agree. If during a flash or if the phone randomly wants to glitch out causing a bootloop during normal usage you're sitting with a paperweight unless you're in front of a computer with ADB and your files available to jump start this device in fastboot. No TWRP and rooting and flashing the boot partition to gain root in most cases likely fine but you're playing with fire without a way to attempt to fix your device while on the go. Correct me if I'm wrong and I might reconsider my personal stance.
In addition, I love this device for the option to root, but the L1-->L3 downgrade in DRM provisioning is a partial deal breaker for my personal usage with YouTube TV. I like to watch sports and being restricted to [email protected] is awful. I could deal with the 480p component but the lack of 60 FPS hockey and football are motion blur central. Keeping it not rooted keeps it at [email protected] or [email protected]

Don't root if you have no idea what you're doing
But like everyone said previously, root is THE thing to do once you got an Android
There's no harm for your device, if you fail, you flash a whole firmware and youre good to go again
