Fire Toolbox 9.1 / WIN 7: Menue items not shown - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey together,
I just tried to get started with the Fire Toolbox 9.1 on Windows 7.
Problem is: In the Toolbox the menue items are not shown. Where normally the menue buttons are (like ADB Shell, Custom Launcher etc.) there are only white boxes with no text readable. The only text i can read is the headline "main menu".
Does anyone have got an idea how to solve it?

You recommended to upgrade your PC to Windows 10. You have to report your bugs to @Datastream33 instead.

Windows 7 is End of Life so I don't think the developer is going to support the OS. Just upgrade the PC to Windows 10.

Well, thats not very helpful - you guys should be rather ashamed of yourselves - you could suggest a Win10 upgrade rather than belittling the user for having an older OS.
Or, you could just give them the answer they need....
Try changing the windows themes - I find that High Contrast #2 often works fine.....its just a display issue.....

You can download Windows 10 from the Microsoft website

I can boot Firefox OS but i have display problems:

[Q] Help me remove the test signing watermark from 8.1 build 9600

I've been having trouble removing the watermark "Test Mode; Windows 8.1 Pro; Build 9600" that shows up with driver signing disabled.
I have ownership and full control permissions on basebrd.dll.mui and shell32.dll.mui, located in C:\Windows\Branding\en-US\ and C:\Windows\System32\en-US\ respectively. I've used Resource Hacker to edit basebrd.dll.mui, which successfully got rid of the middle line "Windows 8.1 Pro". I also removed the "Test Mode" and "%ws Build %ws" lines from shell32.dll.mui, but that has had no effect. It did, however, somehow lock me out of further editing shell32.dll.mui. Any attempt to edit, move, or delete it says it's being used by Windows Explorer, but even after killing explorer.exe I can't save the file with Resource Hacker. Rebooting and running mcbuilder in an administrator command prompt didn't do anything either.
In addition, shell32.dll.mui located in SysWOW64 also reflects the updates I made to the version in System32. I'm really confused as to what's going on now.
If anyone has any ideas or knows a surefire way to kill that stupid watermark, please let me know.

Uhm.... but why? I already posted 3 methods on how to do this.
I patched CoC myself, but while it removes the sign-in, it still doesn't let you sync with your current iOS/Android town. So what was the point of patching it? Just so it doesn't say you can't sign in when you click the button?

There's two way to login on CoC, Google or Facebook. We have removed the google option and just using facebook. I'm trying to "How to syncs between device?" On another device also connected to same facebook account.
When I'm wrong. Just correct me or make it work together.
I'm also working to try make implementation Google Service on Lumia.
Logging onto Facebook tells me the FB acct is already linked to a CoC acct and asks if I want to link it to this town instead. But at any rate, the Google Sign In error doesn't inhibit the ability to play at all, unless I'm missing something.
Anyone get snapchat to work yet?
Hello,
I tested your apk file as I was having issue with mine (get using apk extractor on my android device).
I have the same : missing textures on trees, buildings, etc...see screenshot attached
Also connecting Facebook account is not getting saved games : it's just here for finding friends... see attached image, it's just asking you if you wants to link this game to your account.
If I find a way to get back saved games, I will post here

Does the Developer enhancement update include the Android stuff? and would it be possible to get the DE update by doing a similar method in the registry and then checking for updates?
But thank you for your answer!

no Widgets ?

Hi.
My Teclast Master T10 just got upgraded to PhoenixOS 2.0.0 via OTA. I got no warning that this would make me lose widgets, which are a key feature for me. I've tried both "tablet" and "fake Windows" mode.
Is there any way to get widgets in PhoenixOS 2.0, or to get rid of it and get back to something sensible ? PhoenixOS won't even let me install an alternative Launcher...
Thanks for any help.

Widgets are just like gadgets on Windows 7.
Why won't you get it back in Phoenix OS 2.6.7?:laugh:
No, really I'm not joking about that.
Hey - Hello. total newbie with a Teclast TBook and wanting to move to an all android system. It dual boots to wither Win10 or Android. I want to blow it all away and simply do Android. Any written step-by-step or videos available?? Russ. [email protected] (many many many thanx for any help or direction)
I found the missing widgets!!!
I've found a way to get widgets back! The side effects are we loose a little screen/desktop area on the side of the screens, and the app drawer reappears.
To accomplish:
1) Download total commander (file explorer)
2) navigate to: /System/App/FileManager
3) rename FileManager.apk to FileManager.apk1
4) reboot your system
5) enjoy
To revert back:
1) Navigate to same path as above
2) remove the 1 from the end of the file name
3) reboot your system
Thoughts:
1) You will loose a little screen space, as the resolution, screen settings will revert to Android x86
2) To use widgets long press on the home screen
3) This does not remove the Phoenix os navigation bar
4) This will get rid of your recycle bin and "my computer" functionality
The developers were really sneaky, and FileManager.apk is what's driving the hiding of widgets, app drawer, etc. I haven't figured out yet what else it manages, but I do not it is not responsible for not being able to load new launchers. Haven't figured that part out yet.
Enjoy!

Hi Lohtse,
This device is unique I spend days wake up without sleep to solve the problem of the apps and I realize something important

About Dual Boot & Windows 10 ARM
You know.. I broke my phone system more than 5 times one of them it was completely dead but I was able to recover it again,
the point is if you need to try go ahead it's good to see full windows run on a phone and able to run x86 apps as well.
But
Here is few points why it's not very important
Your mobile internal storage will be filled by 70% because of the windows partition
You need a usable phone to call and send messages, it's not comfortable to switch the boot each time
Windows 10 Mobile is almost the same base of the normal Windows it just Microsoft makes it useless but I hope someone will be able to install a service to run windows apps inside it as I discovered in Windows 10 ARM, I was surprised that some of x86 apps works very well.
If you faced any problem during the installation or you need any assist let me know.
Hi
WOW excellent response thank you so much for taking the time to reply as you have..
Could you possible explain this a little further
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB

Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this

Update
If you got a new phone usually many updates need to be installed, this will fix many problems and increase the performance.
Go to "Settings"
Update & Security
Check for update / Windows Update
if there is any update it will appear or you will see a message "Your device is up to date"
If the system need updates this will take some time, and it might be there is many update not only one so keep try until you get "Your device is up to date"
Unlock
Unlocking the system is based on your needs.
If you are using the phone for regular use you may keep it as it is.
What I was meaning with
Increasing Paging: Paging files will help to handle more applications in the background
SFTP: to transfer the data via wireless but it's totally optional you can still use the cable
Uninstall apps
If you tried to install the new version of i.e."Photos" it will not work because it's already installed.
so the solution is to remove the current app, but by default windows will not allow you to do that form the settings because it's built in.
As solution you can use "Interop Tools" by gus33000
Available Here:
Release Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 (Legacy) · gus33000/InteropTools
This is the latest release of Interop Tools from its Version 1 source with minor updates.
github.com
More details: Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0
Install / Sideload it (Check the guide below)
And go to "General"
Then Select "Applications"
Then Navigate to "Package List"
Search for the app you need to remove it.
You will see many packages related to the same app
In the bottom actions bar there is "4 lines" icon click on it to activate it.
Now select the packages you need to remove.
Click on the trash icon and wait until the app removed
Go to main screen to check if the app removed
If it's remove you can now install the new version
Note: I'm not sure if these steps works without unlocking I didn't tried before unlock, just try before to unlock it might work.
Install apps
Now Download the apps form the links and save them in custom folder.
Go to your device Settings
Select "Update & Security"
Select "For Developers"
Select "Developer Mode"
Activate "Turn on remote diagnostics"
Activate "Authentication"
Using your computer: open the browser and enter the link that appeared in the developer page in your phone
if you got security warning message ignore it and continue (it's normal)
On your phone press "Pair" Button you will see pin code
Enter this pin code in your browser page and click "Submit"
Now you can install the app called "AppInstaller" using the web page
Once you able to install "AppInstaller" you can almost install the other apps from you mobile directly.
Note your device and computer need to be on the same network
OSM Mapping
to be honest I never used it before so I will do some search about it.
If I got anything new will let you know.
I wish most of the descriptions is clear, if you need extra details please let me know.

This version requires downloading the extensions after logging in to insidewindows.net because there is no General - Applications option in the menu by default.
Have you tried the open source Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 made by @gus33000?

To be able to edit some of the protected registry values you need to do "Interop Unlock"
"Interop Unlock" will allow you to do almost everything you need.
Don't activate "Full Filesystem Access" In "Unlock" -> "Interop Unlock" it will not work with Lumia 950/XL and it might affect on the usb connection.
If you didn't find a clear guide for "Interop Unlock" let me know I will write a full guide based on my experiment because some of the details online line is very clear.

Thank you for that information worked a treat.
I have read that the FM radio is not activated on the 950xl, is this correct is so how do I reactivate it?
also is there away to have a bigger tile other than the three choices we have?

The radio is working by default, try this app (almost the best you could find)
Radio FM Phone
Sadly the tiles sizes are fixed as I know, if you want to add some design to the start page you can use this app
Group Tiles
and this app if you want to add custom tiles based on your needs
edgeTile
Check the attached image to see how I did some titles to organize the start page.

Thank you for that... and radio works great... Have to say am loving the 950xl.... only thing I am really missing is a good off route navigation/mapping app if I could find a good one then everything would be nearly perfect.
also is there away to install the original lumia camera app so we can get flash control(number of flashes used ) back?
finally how do I gain full access to the file system on the device???
does any one have the file for this
Lumia Cinemagraph (Official Store)
Cool app you can take photo and make part of it alive with repeated motion, just try it
microsoft.com/en-us/p/lumia-cinemagraph/9wzdncrfhx4d
will not let me download it from store to device as says not compatible with this device

It should work, ignore the compatible message just check the following:
the apps updated including "Microsoft Store" from "Menu" -> "Donwloads and updates"
there is no remaining system updates "Settings" -> "Windows update"
check if there is a "Get" button sometimes it's appear even of there is a compatibility message, click on the button if you found it.
If nothing above worked do the following:
Go to your PC
Be sure you are using the same email/account in both "Phone/PC"
Open the browser and be sure you are logged to your account/email
Open the link of the app
click on "Get"
a message will appear "you own this app"
once you get this message go back to your phone
Open Microsoft store -> Menu
Select "My Library"
Check if the app is there (you can sort the library by name which is better)
Click "Install" behind the app icon
The problem is some of the apps does not appear in Phone store but it will appear in PC store
so this trick will help you to get many apps in the same way,
but I think it will work only with the browser not the desktop app.

As per my experiments, gain the full access to the file system is not a big deal.
the files are protected anyway and some of the important folders assigned to custom users you can't have access, even if you was able to force replace the ownership of the folder and open it.. it will cause some issues with the system.
if you have something really important in the future it's better to use Mass Storage Mode, but accessing the file system while windows is running almost useless.
just don't use the feature in "Interop Tools" which called "Full Filesystem Access" I tried it before and it caused a problem with the connection with the computer I wasn't able to access the storage
