I've followed the instructions here to install ATV Launcher (free version) on my Shield Pro:
Use Custom Launcher on Nvidia Shield 8.1.1 with Widgets! | TechDoctorUK
www.techdoctoruk.com
I'm now trying to add a widget to the launcher, but am getting a "Widget binding failure" error. I have run the following adb command as recommended, but I still get this error:
appwidget grantbind --package ca.dstudio.atvlauncher.free --user 0
Has anyone managed to add a widget to ATV Launcher recently?
Also, is there any way of setting ATV Launcher as the default launcher on boot? (I've had to use buttonmapper to map the home button to ATV as the Shield always boots back to the stock launcher, despite me having defined ATV Launcher in LaunchX.
I just used this command on my MeCool box. It works fine. You first have to turn on debugging and then use a terminal adb command line to run the command. Make sure you're typing the name of the package correctly.

Yes.
Correct command is:
appwidget grantbind --package ca.dstudio.atvlauncher.free
(without "--user 0")

Thank you for correcting the command. Is there an easy way to find the installed package name? Just would like to confirm the syntax before I reinstall ATV, and a widget and give this a second try

You could use ES File Explorer to view package name.
Anyone would know why I'm getting the following error? I can use ADB to remote connect to my TV no problem but running appwidget just won't work.
'appwidget' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
learned something new today. thanks.

This may not work on a Fire HD 7, but I like to share.
Enable Widgets:
Reference: /system/bin/appwidget
Code:
# Script to start "appwidget" on the device, which has a very rudimentary shell.
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/appwidget.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.appwidget.AppWidget "[email protected]"
1. Use a file manager like Total Commander and navigate to /system/bin/
2. Locate appwidget and copy it to clipboard.
3. Paste the file to your PC desktop and open it with a text editor. I use Notepad+++. You do NOT need to make any edits.
4. Click file, save as. Change the filename to appwidget.sh and save it as a Unix file type. (If using regular Notepad, save it as the ALL FILES file type)
5. Copy appwidget.sh and place it into internal storage of your fire (/sdcard).
6. Open ADB, get into a shell and type:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ sh /sdcard/appwidget.sh
7. Exit the shell and come back to ADB and type:
Code:
adb shell appwidget grantbind --package <PACKAGE.name.of.your.launcher> --user <USER_ID>
(USER_ID = 0)
If above doesn't work:
Code:
adb shell appwidget grantbind --package <PACKAGE.name.of.your.launcher> --user current
Now add your favorite widgets through your favorite launcher

I am using Evie. Install it, then uninstall firelauncher or other launcher. Reboot. Then follow initial post steps. I don't see a difference with or without launcher hijack, when firelauncher is uninstalled.

Correct...for now anyways. Maybe someone can extract the settings from launcher so they stay and launcher goes. Or find a way to just uninstall the actual launcher only.

"com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe" WILL screw up your home button too
There is a wierd side affect where when you install firelauncher or the apk i mentioned above when you click the home button it locks your screen.
I went back to Nova for now. Be advised if you want to switch launchers, you have to run the script again to enable widgets.

When Fire Laucnher is uninstalled the home button doesn't work and when you press it, the screen turns off and it goes back to the lockscreen. How do you manage this?

I haven't yet. The lock screen is embedded in /system/framework/framework-res.apk in the form of PNG and icons layered over one another. The reason for the lock screen is because there are dummy screens in front of and behind the enter screens. Those dummies block the wallpapers and what not and send us to the lock screen. Unless someone really really good at modifying APKs comes along, We might be stuck with that annoyance.
Just downloaded 'Google Wallpapers.' All of the included wallpapers work...except the stock live ones lmao.

Awesome! And to think, I found it buried in one of these tablets makes me scratch my head a bit. I'm hoping to find more goodies!
This worked great, thanks!
I just renamed "appwidget" to "appwidget.sh" on the tablet, saves a bit of time versus copying to PC etc.
It may even be possible to run the shell straight from /system/bin, I'll try that should I need to restore again.

Ignore the error. It means nothing. I believe its just a scare tactic. If the command with --user current didn't work, try the other one. You might see a brief flash when you activate the function the first time. If not, try placing a widget anyways. make sure the package name is right. copy and paste directly the line below. use adb command prompt and not a terminal.
adb shell appwidget grantbind --package com.teslacoilsw.launcher --user 0

I think so, but not sure. However, if you switch launchers, you will have to run the script and commands again.
So far, this is my favorite find I found this ON the tablet. I'm not sure why or how this was left on it. it is labeled as May 31 update, when my tablet updated to 5.4. I think they made a mistake, or a developer snuck it in.

it is great!
the only remaining item on my list is to STOP OTA updates. Do you know of any solution?
I hereby discontinue support for my Fire TV Guides and Apps. I've been a big fan of Fire TV devices for the last 2-3 years, but Amazon has now with each firmware further limited the possibilities of a configurable Android environment and even destroyed standard Android commands. This goes too far for me now.
I can recommend the following devices to anyone who wants to have a reasonable and much better Android TV experience, which I now use myself and am enthusiastic about:
Mi Box
Mi Box S
Sony Android TV (ATV3 platform, eg. XF7, XF8, XF9 or higher)
Thank you very much for all you do.
Thanks! Can't wait to try it out!

Everything is installed correctly. Is it possible that you are using the Amazon TV Launcher? If so, you will not see the Play Store because the launcher does not display any system apps. Please try instead of AppStarter or HALauchner or start the Play Store via adb.

Hi guys, I'm troubleshooting for blocking the LauncherHijack.apk. Here I found this app Arcus Android Client (com.amazon.nimh) to block the LauncherHijack to push back to useless Fire Launcher will I modify this app to break this Fire Launcher and Arcus Android Client app to access any 3rd-party launcher.
The Launcher Hijack isn't compatible says from LauncherHijack blocker but is compatible for Android SDK level.
The Launcher Hijack blocker might be a Broken.
There is a message from LauncherHijack blocker:

4. After the Arcus Android Client has been uninstalled the updates. Now backup the LauncherHijack.apk, open the ES File Explorer, Select Apps on ES homepage, scroll down and select the Launcher Hijack by holding down and tap Backup
5. After the LauncherHijack.apk is backed up. Go to /storage/emulated/0/backups/app/Launcher Hijack_4.0.2.apk and re-install it. (the LauncherHijack will be enabled after re-installed).
6. Reboot
Method 2 - Fix LauncherHijack with PC:
Requirements for Method 2:
-> A Fire tablet
-> Windows PC with ADB driver from Android SDK Platform tools
-> A transferrable micro USB cable
-> A LauncherHijack.apk
1. Make sure the USB Debugging or Enable ADB is enabled in developer options and have an ADB installed from Android SDK Manager on your PC.
2. Connect your Fire tablet to your PC, Open Command Prompt or Microsoft PowerShell and approve the USB device.
3. Verify the attached devices
Code:
adb devices
4. Re-install the Arcus Android Client app with modified version, attached APK file under the post
Code:
adb install -r -d path\to\com.amazon.nimh.apk
or uninstall it
Code:
adb uninstall com.amazon.nimh
with ADB shell
Code:

:good:Hey there, I ended up with a Lite edition Firestick of a friend's and he's wanting it sorted the same way my 4k is (no chance I told him) the tight git didn't want to pay an extra fiver for the 4k which was on sale at the time.
So now he has a price to pay and has to put up with all the sponsored amazon gunk on their home screen.
I have looked everywhere and have not seen a launcher mod for the lite edition or even anyone asking about one.
Do any of you guys know if its possible to change the launcher with a working home button etc?
Any help or point in the right direction would be greatly obliged
Thanks again

####wrong forum Mods apologies ####
try FTVLaunchX matey that might work still read the setup guide i just normally do this -
If you know what you are doing then simply grant this permission by executing the following command in an ADB shell on your device:
$ pm grant de.codefaktor.ftvlaunchx android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
then FTVLaunchX should let you choose an installed custom launcher to start on boot.
Check my github Script.
https://github.com/0815hoffi/FireTV-2k-4k-debloat/tree/main/FireTVLite
Install Launcher of your choice.
adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.tv.launcher"
wait 5 seconds
adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.firehomestarter"
Install my apk from github.com to access Settings but not all Settings possible without root.

as per 0815hoffi and dean2011 posts ( i used a bit of each post ) thanks again guys
To customise launcher without losing any functionality (some setting you will lose as this is non root settings but most of the main ones network apps remotes are all there )
NOTE: you may choose to complete registration process before disabling amazon launcher.
First i debloated the Lite using hoffi debloat txt (double checking updates were disabled)
i then pushed ATV Launcher Pro to the stick and installed
then disabled firetv launcher and fire homestarter
next was to push ftvlaunchx 101 dev apk (faster boot response)
grab hold of markus firetools (non root settings) apk push that to stick install.
next give ftvlaunchx write permissions pm grant de.codefaktor.ftvlaunchx android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
open ftvlaunchx and select ATV Launcher pro within the launchx app
reboot your lite device and then think of a wallpaper that looks good on your tv
After setting the new GoogleTV Launcher as default via ADB using the command
Code:
adb shell cmd package set-home-activity "com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx"
on my Android TV Box, checking the default launcher (always via ADB) using two different methods the shell returns a mismatching result as you can see below, and in practice the manufacturer's own launcher (timvision.launcher) always opens as default. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure this is the proper activity: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx
That is only the package name. Usualy there is com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx/......
Use: dumpsys package com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx
and find the proper HOME activity for the package and set that using cmd package set-home-activity
Check with: cmd shortcut get-default-launcher

Hi, thank you for your help, but I have already tried this method and nothing has changed, I can’t figure out why.
