Hello, I did this and it worked for a few hours and then the tablet says the hijacker has been blocked and it went back to Amazon standard. How would I fix this?

I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one kzread.infoUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!
*I upgraded from the 8 inch to the **Newest.Technology** 10 inch. I really didn't expect it to make that much difference but it has. It is also much faster and responsive. Great Purchase.*
I have watched a bunch of videos trying to find a easy way to get the Nova Launcher on my fire 7. This one is it! Simple and well put together. A few easy quick steps and I have nova on my Fire tablet . THANK YOU!
This worked amazing as I am using these as cheap versions of communication devices for my Non-verbal son. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this. Great tutorial!! Very clear instructions. I have an HD 10 I am going to try it with.
You are awesome bro. Works like a charm and it's great. Thanks.
Thanx a lot man, really helped me out. GOD BLESS YOU.
I needed a way of installing youtube kids on my child's tablet (7th gen) this worked perfectly. Many thanks for uploading this!
Worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.
Very clear instruction, works like a charm. Thanks
Thank you my friend, good tutorial and worked great, even though I ran into a small problem with launcher hijack. works great and Im happy!
Brilliant, just revived an old tablet, it worked a treat.
It worked very good for me! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video, just got a Fire 7 tablet in the black Friday sales to use with my SDR dongle. To my horror, I'd have to pay for SDR touch again. Your tutorial let me install google play store and download my key that's attached to my google account. :D thank you so, so much.
Really good video !!!!! thanks man!!!
very helpful worked perfectly thank you
Got it thank you!!
Perfect. Both kids tablet converted. I didn't use the sd card. Opened the links straight onto the fire tablet. Thank you.
Appreciate you bro for making this video cause slot of people would have spend all must 6 racks to just add on this things. So I appreciate you 💪🏾💪🏾

Super nice, it worked for me. I appreciate not having to root the device. Only trouble I had was when going to the APK website i tried the newest versions, couldn't get them to download. But your links worked!

the newest version can sometimes be for tablets with newer OS. I would always recommend my links cause the Fire tab is so out of date with its android os.
Thank you so much this worked its soo good
It works!!! Yay!....couldn't do it with ES app because one has to pay but i used File Commander instead. Thank again for these easy steps.
It works 2019!
Thanks its really work...
Worked seamlessly as I followed your instructions. Much appreciated. Not sure if this is relevant but this worked for me in Canada. I'm assuming your in the states. Regardless, thank you. Cheers

Bro I was kinda bummed about the fact I couldn't get KZread Kids for my kids on this thing. Tablet Feels solid and much better screen quality than comparable priced tablets, so your tutorial was a great lifesaver! Thanks bro!!!
I did this on my Fire HD 10 and it works like a champ
Thank youuuu! I just followed the process and its working, I tried to do it using another tutorial back in 2017 when I got it and didnt work. CAN THANK YOU ENOUGH =)
Thanks for showing me how to put the play store on my tablet! But do you think you could do a video on how to root this exact tablet used in the video? I cant find out how to, and I've tried and failed twice. I ask you because your videos are really clear and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you kindly sir
Works perfect
Well this works as of December 2020. Thank you my friend. You helped make this old table useable again👌👌😎

@ribbon ! ୨୧ it does do that, but only for a few seconds before reverting back to the Nova Launcher. That happens a couple of times in the video. I haven't figure out how to get rid of that but I'm pretty sure that's because of the lag in between the Nova Launcher and the fire OS home

Thank you so much for sharing man! Din't work with the 8th gen, any idea?
Thank you
Still waiting for how to remove ads. Thank you.

Excelent! Everything works just fine, Thanks for the video
Hello, great video bro! I am currently using a Kindle Fire HD 8 and I was wondering how to remove those glitchy flickers on NovaLauncher?
Wow thank you so much now I have Android
I do believe there is a way to install the google play services on a kindle Fire 7 tablet without rooting the device correct? I don't understand which is considered rooting and which is considered doing bypasses to avoid getting malwares and viruses.
Thanks thanks thanks aloottttt
Hi. I did what you are doing here about a year ago. today I added some credit to my skype app and the kindle tried to reset back to kindle. For some reason, the Nova app got switched off. Any ideas?
on the last step at 13:31, where you turn the detect button on... that option is not on underneath where you turn nova launcher on. did I do something wrong?
Do you have a video on how to get rid of the ads?
Dude, Thanks for that video but can you do a video about how to find a lost amazon tablet?
@Bobby-cm7vu

if you had enabled the location tracking on the tablet it would be easy to find. you may be able to go onto your amazon account and mark the lost device as lost on there, however i am unsure, i will do a bit of research if you'd want me to.
What size of SD card do I need? I’m not familiar with anything of this. Also can I call someone and get rid of my ads?
Trued this on a factory reset 7th gen amazon fire 7 and play store wont open. Turning tablet on and off before but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi friend, the new launcher on fire7 mustang is working incorrectly repeatedly pressing the home button throws it again on the fire launcher. Tell me how to fix it .
i keep getting download pending.. how to bypass this or get it to start downloading from the fire instead of having to resort to using a webrowser? also its trying to install the apps to the integrated storage and not the SD card
many tks
I am not sure why but, the Home Button Detect is not showing up under services. Nova is. Also, when i install the Hijack, it says "launcherhijack has been blocked. launcherhijack is not compatible with this device." It indeed does show up in ES File Explorer, but i am not sure if that has anything to do with my issue stated above.
Hi! I just recently did this on our fire7 and I'm having some issues with it staying in android mode. When i hit the home key it switches back to Kindle layout but once I press the launcer hijack app it switches back to Android layout. Can you help me with this so it just stays in android mode?
Worked great! Is there a way to get rid of lock screen ads?

try this ! it worked for me without lock screen ads. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hml8vJauoczHnLQ.html
everything worked but the detect button option wasn't there and I can't set Nova as a default laucher
Note, I also found that ES File manager would block everything unless I accepted their "Free 7-dayTrial", for which I had to give them my credit card. Forget that! Consequently, I found another file manager, "X-plore", which worked just fine.
i don't have the detect button under the nova launcher in accessibility in settings
I mainly use this for reading Books/Manga don't really like Multimedia Usage on it considering it has terrible speakers even for the price range.
Two questions once i install android how do I install apps to memory card by default is it possible? 2. How do I replace home button so when I press it goes to Nova launcher? Thanks

At around 12min in the video it explains how to use launcher hijack to replace the home button. You must make sure you change the accessibility setting for everything to work correctly. As for your second question, I dont believe you can move apps to the sd card.
Everything installed But Cant Drag Widgets To The Screen , Soon As I Try It It Goes To The Setting Menu And Widget Wont Stay On Page ...Hmm..

all app going to the main storage..how can i change to the SD card. Please help. If I have an app. I can not move to the SD card from the device. In the play store automaticly downloading to the main store. many thanks for your help.
Can i install widgets on it?
Legit AF
Would not let me install files from ES
thx
Amazon disabled the launcher hijack app but a work around is to download app cloner and use it to rename launcher hijack to a different name and then it will work
I am having trouble with my new Fire 7. Could it be that it is new December 2019 ? The play store just keeps asking me for email and password over and over. I can't get highjack to install.

So to be clear the original FireOS is still on the device? I have the 8gb model and want to get rid of that and have it just be an android. It seems that this will load both filling the device even more, I've done everything I can to get and keep files off of it but it is to the point where it is not longer use able.

Im thumbs downing this because of the misleading title. This is simply changing your home screen, IT IS NOT making the device run an android OS aside from the factory fireos
I don't have a place on my kindle to put the sd card?
Will this work fire HD8 ?
Any way to remove bloatwares in Amazon fire 7 7th Gen

Hi guys, I did the job, and installed Nova Launcher using modified Launcher. Hijack file (b.43.Clone.apk), but I can't set Nova Launcher as default. 'Clear defaults' option is greyed out. I ended up with Launcher not working fluently. When I press the home button I am coming back to Amazon OS look. Please help!
I have followed this to a T and the app store just keeps showing a white screen then back to the home screen. For you IT guys out there yes I have turned it off then back on again. Any suggestions?
