A small Android application to circumvent the default Amazon Fire launcher.
Thanks to ParrotGeek1 for the original code and the lax licence that I have modified lightly.
View the official thread over at XDA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/launcher-root-launcher-hijack-v2-t3561026
- This application will only work for Amazon devices running the fire launcher.
- You must enable the Accessibility Service through "Settings -> Accessibility -> To detect home button press" or nothing is going to happen.
- There are further trouble shooting steps on the official XDA thread
Please disable LauncherHijack in accessibility settings during Fire OS update 5.6.2.0. LauncherHijack causes issues during this update, you wont brick your device or anything with it left enabled but you wont be able to complete the update until disabled. There is nothing I can do without degrading the application during regular use. If you somehow end up mid update with LauncherHijack enabled the easiest solution, assuming you can't get to settings, is to uninstall LauncherHijack through ADB (plenty of guides online) and reinstall it after you complete the update.
You can do whatever you want with this code but you have to credit us, Andy A (BaronKiko) and ParrotGeek, somewhere in your project, including a link to this repo. The modified version MUST be open source. You have to send us a link to the modified version if it is ever public.
You must NOT redistribute this code in binary form unless you have modified and released the code adhering to the licence above.
If you wish to distribute this code in binary form then you can get it from this GitHub's releases section through user instruction, script or program however automatic downloads MUST always get the latest version. You MUST also give credit to us, Andy A (BaronKiko) and ParrotGeek somewhere in the application and explain clearly how to enable the service to the end user.
If you find any issues please leave them in the issue tracker. I will have a look at them but don't expect bug fixes to be quick if ever fixed.
