How to get a custom launcher working on Fire OS 7+ (Android 9+)

How to get a custom launcher working on Fire OS 7+ (Android 9+)

Works on Android TV too. Tested on Android TV 11. Tested on Fire OS 6 with my dad on voicecall and it doesn't work.

REQUIREMENTS:

  1. Fire Stick running FireOS 7 or any Android TV running 9 or above. I havent tested the android tv part tho
  2. atvTools app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.vodik7.atvtools&hl=en) on your phone

STEPS:

  1. Install Downloader (AFTV) on your Fire Stick/Android TV
  2. Go on Settings > My Fire TV/Device Prefrences > About > click on build number/fire stick name 7 times then go back to developer options > enable ADB debugging/wireless debugging and allow Downloader for internal storage access.
  3. (Fire Stick only) Go on privacy, and disable everything in the 2nd section
  4. Open Downloader and use code 730116 if theres a prompt, or go to https://firestickhacks.com/downloads/
  5. Scroll till the Utility apps section, and click on Launcher Manager v.1.1.4 (https://pixeldrain.com/api/filesystem/Lgx1E8id) and Projectivy Launcher (https://www.mediafire.com/file/bhbg6659jbb4btu/ProjectivyLauncher-4.68-c82-xda-release.apk/file)
  6. After installation, it is recommended to delete the APK files to save storage
  7. Open atvTools on your device and connect your TV/fireTV, and go on the shell section
  8. Paste these commands on your device: adb shell pm grant com.wolf.tn androld.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and adb shell settings put secure enabled accessibility services com.spocky.projengmenu/com.spocky.projengmenu.services.Proje ctivyAccessibllityService (do not type "and" between the first and second command)
  9. Go on Launcher Manager and press custom launcher support until its enabled. If it is already enabled you may go to the next step
  10. Choose the custom launcher as Projectivy and on the System Apps disable everything. If they are disabled already you may move to the next step
  11. Set Projectivy and give all the permissions it needs and you are done

If you are running Fire OS 6 and below, it is reccomended to skip steps 9 to 11 (no 9/11 jokes please) and set the launcher up from here. But it will stay as temporary and every time you need to open it

Finally, a survival guide other than Android.

Music player - OpenTracks LFE (WM6.0+): https://www.mediafire.com/file/s9fr3maxf729txy/OpenTracksLFE_WM6_BETA1.CAB/file

Discord client - Pocketcord (j2me proxy, WM2003SE+) - https://www.mediafire.com/file/7n8d3d90ezly8vr/PocketcordInstaller.CAB/file

For app development use this: https://archive.org/download/windows-mobile-6-sdk/Windows%20Mobile%206%20Standard%20SDK%20Refresh.msi (Standard)

https://archive.org/download/windows-mobile-6-sdk/Windows%20Mobile%206%20Professional%20SDK%20Refresh.msi (Professional)

this is in a VERY EARLY PRE-ALPHA stage of this, tell me what should I add next!
