Seems like amazon blocked the launcher manager app. I install it, it opens for a second then closes and is nowhere to be found. Any workarounds?

Same here, its useless.

When I opened the Launcher Manager, I was unable to select Launcher Options. It just wouldn't highlight.

Is there a new fix for this? Lanch Manager seems to be blocked. Thanks!

Literally none of this worked

Yeah doesn't work. Launcher manger doesn't open once installed

Super helpful!!! Thanks!!! 😊

To use this does it have to open up launcher manager every time I press the home button? I don’t care for that. But I do like having my button reprogrammed to what I want it to be.

This works but doing this wipes out the custom launcher I setup with launcher manager. Any workaround to have customer launcher AND the remap the 4 buttons? Thanks!

Can’t seem to get launcher Manager to open. Says it’s installed but when I hit open it takes me back to the app file. It is also not in my apps

Do you it works with Roku remote? Thanks for the video

Steps were easy to follow, but didn't work for me. Buttons still go to what they say instead of what I programmed them to do.

I installed the app 2x, but both times, the app disappeared. The app never opened. The screen went black, then returned me to the Downloader screen.

Amazon's new os8 blocks the apps and they cannot be properly installed or ran anymore. I don't know of a current work around so this sucks.

Firestick has disabled this. Are there any new work arounds at all?

Launch manager is blocked, Fire Security disabled the launcher app. Is there a way work around this?

hi, is there a way to remap them to deep sleep the firestick since i hzve the lite?

Why does it goes to launcher app every time i click home bottom? Is there a way to change the that?

Hello Thanks for the video, but I didn't see how the buttons are deactivated

I just went through and added everything following your video. But it did not work. The original buttons stayed the same. I also removed the apps for Netflix, Direct TV, and Peacock, and they still did not stop working. I tried double tapping the buttons still did not work. The reason I was trying to make this work is, my mother-in-law moved in with us and she can't remember more than a couple buttons to find anything. Please help. John C.

Asking for an updated version of the app

I went through all the steps with no issue, but after I select the new app I want the button to open, it still opens the originally assigned app. I've tried clicking it multiple times, waited for the app to open and clicked it again, but still just the original app. Also made sure the app I was trying to replace was Uninstalled before assigning new app to button. Help.

I bought the new fire tv stick 4K and followed all the steps. The button I enabled and set to launch another app still launches the original app which is peacock

I don’t have the my fire tv in settings? How do I do this without that?

Got as far as downloading Launcher manager from your page but its not the same as the one on yourvideo. Maybe its updated but cant find Launcher options.

Just letting him know it didn’t work for us - and what happened instead - will hopefully help him to find alternate methods more relevant to those for whom this fix didn’t work.

Launcher Manager is disabled by the firestick. The only option is to uninstall. Is there a work around for this?

I've connected fire stick remote to my Nvidia shield pro but the shortcut buttons aren't recognized by and remap app anybody no a adb code or something

Ok maybe it’s just me but every time I relaunch the launcher manager thing is crashes saying that it’s not updated

Not working for me. Can’t install the launcher app. It lets me install it, but when I try to open it just takes me back to your website with the popup to install again. The app is not in my list of apps either.

This video is obsolete, Amazon has blocked the app from working. When you click Open, you get the message "App disabled...You can keep the app on your device but you will be unable to use it" Consider deleting or re-naming this video to not waste the time of people who are looking for a current working method.

This is no longer working Launcher Manager is prohibited on the FireTv

Can we cutomised any other buuton to volume button for fire tv stick lite..... Plzz do reply im in need of it to change

I notice you posted this video a month ago. I have the Second Generation 4k Max, which was just released a few days ago and your method does not work. I wonder if they changed something in this new generation to prevent us from remapping the keys? I’ve already given away/thrown away all my older Fire sticks, so I have no way of testing on an older one.
