If you are annoyed by the default launcher appearing while your chosen launcher is loading then you can corrupt the default launcher.įair WARNING if you do this without any 3rd party launchers installed you will have a very hard time fixing your device and once the Fire Launcher is broken it can never be fixed for that user account, you will have to make a new user account to ressurect it. Unfortunatly I have had reports of mixed success with this command but it's worth trying if you want widgets for launchers other than the Google Now launcher. The part containted within the brackets is the package name. You can get the package name with Launcher Hijack, in the confirmation dialog when selecting a launcher. You can attempt to enable them for a given launcher using the following adb command:Īppwidget grantbind -package -user current Widget support in prohibited by default for all launchers except the Google Now launcher on Fire OS devices. I had to reinstall once to get it working however I have had reports of people reinstalling 4-5 times before finally getting it working. Google now should open when pressing home, if it still doesn't work uninstall all prerequisites and the launcher itself, reboot and try follow the guide again.Open launcher hijack and select "Google", if you have to uncheck "Launchers only" something has gone wrong, so give another reboot a go and ensure you have the prerequisites listed above installed.Obviously install the Google Now launcher ( Available Here).Some devices also require Google home so probably best to install that too ( Available Here).Install the Google Search App ( Available Here).Ensure Launcher Hijack works with another launcher.It can however be a pain to set up so try following these instructions:
The Google Now launcher is the only known launcher that supports widgets out of the box.

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. There is nothing I can do without degrading the application during regular use. LauncherHijack causes issues during update 5.6.2.0, you wont brick your device or anything with it left enabled but you wont be able to complete update 5.6.2.0 until disabled. Please disable LauncherHijack in accessibility settings during Fire OS updates.
