status: tested
tested_on: Fire TV Edition television, Fire OS 7.7.1.x
models: []
adb:
  port: 5555
  transport: wifi
  first_connection_prompt: "Allow USB debugging? — must be accepted on the TV with the remote"

  times, then My Fire TV > Developer Options > ADB debugging: ON.
  Fire TV Edition televisions (Onida, Toshiba, AmazonBasics) use a different
  settings app with no "My Fire TV": Settings > Device & Software > About, then
  click the device name 7 times. On some of those builds the Developer Options
  row never renders even with development_settings_enabled=1; ADB can still be
  on (settings global adb_enabled=1) and everything in this repo works.

  Settings > Network > the connected network > SELECT to customise/details.
prompts:
  - name: USB debugging authorization
    when: first adb connect from a new machine
    blocks_automation: true
    fix: human presses Allow on the TV
  - name: VPN connection request
    when: installing the DNS filter
    blocks_automation: true
    fix: "adb shell appops set dnsfilter.android ACTIVATE_VPN allow before launching; the dialog is phone-sized and ignores the remote"
  - name: Unable to Detect Your Remote
    when: a persistent Alexa runtime was disabled
    blocks_automation: true
    fix: "keep com.amazon.vizzini enabled; block its domains instead"

launcher:
  mechanism: accessibility_service
  package: tv.dumbtv.home
  reason: "com.amazon.tv.launcher and com.amazon.firehomestarter are protected; set-home-activity is ignored"
  fallback: "holding HOME opens Fire OS's quick menu; launcher Options can open Amazon's home"
  quirk: "HOME key never reaches accessibility key filters; needs alarm_manager_constants min_futurity=0 to skip the 5 s app-switch delay"
quirks:
  - "a disabled persistent priv-app can keep running; debloat.sh has a residual-process pass"
  - "the launcher hook can be cleared, leaving Amazon's home; scripts/launcher.sh restores it"
  - "after every boot a blank FallbackHome shows for ~15 s"
  - "the DNS filter must never be force-stopped; reboot instead"
known_limits:
  - "no bootloader unlock, no /system writes (dm-verity)"
  - "protected packages can only be starved, not disabled"
  - "Prime Video stops working unless its CDN is left unblocked (PRIME=1 in dumbtv.conf)"
