Just bought it and played around with it for over 10 hours.
The most annoying thing is the keyboard.
1st, I cannot disable the words-suggesting (the area above keyboard keep bringing words related to what you type) I want to disable it. is there anyway. I find everything on the phone and cannot come up with a solution
2nd, is there anyway to install 3rd party keyboard. I try slideload keyboard app but I cannot enable it.
thank you guys !
EDIT: the Solution is provided in the #2 post ( Note: you need to use the commands: adb shell ime list -a instead)
keyboard-stretch-out-bug-solution
many times the keyboard is big and stretch. I find out the problem happens when you turn off the screen-auto-rotation. I read web lying on the bed so I turn it off, watching a youtube video in landscape and then this bug happens. so you guys just need to turn the auto-rotation on and rotate the devices to re-calibrate it
Switch keyboard
If you want to switch keyboards on your firephone, touch and hold the spacebar for a while then the menu will pop up and let you choose
I followed the method to install Analog Keyboard on my gear live, it worked on the fire phone.
1. Install your keyboard apk.
2. Set up adb & fie phone drivers on your computer, turn up usb debugging and connect your fire phone.
3. Open CMD, type "adb devices" to see if your phone is connected.
4. Type "adb shell ime list"
5. Find and copy your keyboard's name, starts with "com."
e.g. For Google Keyboard, its name is "com.google.android.inputmethod.latin"
6. Type "adb shell ime enable yourkeyboardname"
e.g. "adb shell ime enable com.google.android.inputmethod.latin"
7. Type "adb shell ime set yourkeyboardname"
e.g. "adb shell ime set com.google.android.inputmethod.latin"
8. Now you can use your keyboard.
The keyboard is what bugs me the most about this phone to be honest. I have everything else setup the way I want. I think using SwiftKey for a few years got me lazy on my accuracy. I'm hoping for an easier way to change the keyboard as I'm worried about them sending out an update that would interfere with the manual method mentioned above.

After dealing with issues regarding the drivers, my pc finally recognized the phone's adb, how ever, when I list the IME's, it only shows Amazon's keyboard, even tho i have SwiftKey and Google Keyboards Installed on the phone. So it did not work for me at the moment.

Yeah I've tried like all the launchers from the Play store, I rather have Google Now Launcher, without a wallpaper.
yahoo aviate loads wallpapers, however they disappear after rebooting.
Nokia Z launcher is my favourite. It is born without wallpaper and also nice and clean

It's a long painful process
yes, you need to install ADB
then you need to install Google USB driver and Amazon driver ( with a add on link provided)
then you need to manually install the driver in the ADB sub-folder
then you need to turn of the adb server and turn it on again to recognize the device ( I stuck at this for over 1/2 hour, wondering what's wrong with my ADB)
then you follow the ADB commands instruction to enable your keyboard.
done !

I havent tried this using adb yet, but shouldn't it be possible using the terminal on the phone by omitting "adb shell"? After installing SwiftKey and finding it in the IME list, I put the IME enable command for SwiftKey and it just says "killed".
Is it possible to install/configure additional languages for standard Google Keyboard on Fire Phone? I was following steps from this thread and installed swiftkey and Google Keyboard. Swiftkey has its own preferences window and allows me to customize everything… but I just don't like how it works. Standard Google Keyboards works WAY better for me. The problem is I need 2 languages: English and Russian. When I'm trying to add Russian language to google keyboard it would open standard keyboard settings window (which only works for standard fire phone keyboard).
So I was thinking if there's some trick to download/configure additional languages for Google Keyboard using adb.
No one responded to my question about setting up the keyboard locally in the terminal, and after several tries I gave up and installed the Fire driver and used adb to install the Swiftkey keyboard. Now there is one less thing to complain about the phone, and it works great so far! My favorite feature is that it can auto-correct two languages simultaneously, which works better than you'd expect.

You can see what IME have installed and activated. Using the command:
Code:
adb shell ime list -s
If the native keyboard is present - it can set the default command:
Code:
adb shell ime set com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME
You can also try setting a different on-screen keyboard. More details here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67519553&postcount=17
I have discovered a way to disable and replace Alexa with the Google Assistant through what you could call a 'privilege escalation.' I don't know anything about the Fire Phone so I don't know if you can hook it up to a PC and run ADB commands to it. Can you even download Google apps (sorry if this sounds stupid)?
Anyways, I need some testers to see how widespread this is. In android there is a permission set called WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. Basically you can create an app with that said permission in it's manifest. Doing so allows the app to be escalated to a 'root user' in order to edit, remove and or manipulate a set of settings Android called Settings.Secure. In this set of settings are three tiers: System, Secure and Global. The app, or anyone with access to ADB, can run a command to add, remove or change the values of some of these settings.
An app currently exists and is available on the Play Store, that edits these settings; Settings Database Editor. I need you to do the following steps for me please and thank you:
1. Download, install the app, but don't edit anything yet.
2. Hook the device up to your PC and open an ADB window.
3. Type and hit enter when done:
Code:
adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
4. Go back to the Settings Database Editor app and tap on the Secure tab.
4. Locate the following three lines, if they exist:
Code:
"alexa_enabled"
"assistant"
"voice_interaction_service"
"voice_recognition_service"
5. Go back to the ADB window. Type each of the commands below, hitting enter after each one. You won't see any reply or messages if the commands are successful:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure assistant com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voiceinteraction.GsaVoiceInteractionService
adb shell settings put secure voice_interaction_service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voiceinteraction.GsaVoiceInteractionService
adb shell settings put secure voice_recognition_service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voicesearch.serviceapi.GoogleRecognitionService
adb shell settings put secure alexa_enabled 0
If the last command doesn't work, go to the Settings Database Editor app and tap on secure tab. Locate the alexa_enabled setting and tap it. change the 1 to a 0 and save the setting.
6. Open the Google App and go to settings > voice > Configure 'Ok Google" or your Assistant.
The more who confirm this, the better
How can I disable double tap of home button who activates the "voice input", who is no longer avaible as Amazon decided... THANKS THEM

Hi DragonFire1024,
Thanks for this very interesting post I was just wondering by to see if anyone had unlocked the bootloader :laugh:
Problem with the fire phone is probably 98% of users here use one of @ggow custom ROM's LineageOS 11 or the AOSP based SlimKat and Nexus Rom. Those running the Stock ROM are likely not interested in development hence why no reply's.
To be honest I never even gave the Fire OS a chance before rooting and switching to the Nexus ROM. I am not sure our fire OS has Alexa :silly: or at least as we know it today yes you heard correct a Premium Amazon Device and they see fit not push it out to Amazon device owners. In fact they just went one better and removed the voice service altogether. https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/amazon-voice-services-fire-phone-t3681235 Pretty amazoning :laugh
I was kinda hoping it was to make way for Alexa and a Massive OS Update but I guess thats just wishful thinking. :laugh:
I checked the forums and couldn't find that this was answered. I got a Firestick 4k and want to change the on screen keyboard / language to something other than supported languages (yes I see where you can go in settings to change).
I sideloaded a keyboard app that I use on other android devices but it doesn't seem to do anything with the firestick and and an external keyboard - it's not bringing up the custom keyboard app.
Any suggestions?

there are 2 options:
1st you need to activate and set new KeyBoard via adb:
Code:
ime list
Here is the example list of installed keyboards, look at 1st line with keyboard ID:
mantis:/ $ ime list
com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME:
mId=com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME mSettingsActivityName=null mSupportsSwitchingToNextInputMethod=true
mIsDefaultResId=0x0
Service:
...
org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService:
mId=org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService mSettingsActivityName=null mSupportsSwitchingToNextInputMethod=false
mIsDefaultResId=0x0
Service:
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
next enable desired one and set it default:
Code:
ime enable org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService
Code:
ime set org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService
thats it.
2nd option is install Buttons Remapper apk and define there any key press to show Choose Keyboard dialogue. You'll can switch between keyboards from UI.
I have installed the LeanKey Keyboard_v4.3.39 on my 4k Firststick and tried to open it (in case something had to be started for this process to work)
If i type in
"ime list"
That only lists the default keyboard for me.
If i type in:
ime enable org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService
i get the error "Unknown ID com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME

Yes, I used both on FireTV 4K before, but "ime" part was tested on previous OS release (probably 6.2.6.3).
There is still option to enable it without root by writing secure settings, you can use companion app for it: FireTVjack.
You must grant this app permission to write secure settings via adb:
Code:
adb shell
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
and reboot. It will activate LeanKey Keyboard on boot. It also have language switch for RU/UK/DE/EN language.

I just tried this on a clean 4k firestick.
Installed FireTVJack
connected via ADB and ran these 3 commands:
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
all commands accepted without error.
If i start the FireTVJack app, it asks me to select a launcher.
If I reboot the device, the default keyboard doesn't change.
If i click on the LeanKeyboard Pro - nothing happens.
have i missed a step?

Nope. Only thing needed to add/switch keyboard is to write its component to secure settings. On unrooted FireTV, user can't write those settings, but programs with granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS perms can. In h1jack there is OnBootComplete receiver which looks for exact packages and add them to settings if exist.
Code:
("org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro", "com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService");
("com.example.semitop7.FireTVStyle", ".FireTVStyleIME");
It worked on unrooted 6.2.6.5 without issues. Why it doesn't work for you on 6.2.6.6? I don't know, and can't test because my 4K rooted and LeanKeyKeyboard Pro works fine. Does your version match (it must have id - org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro and 4.3.30 version)?
P.S. What output you have with that command on adb:

You can try different keyboards with voice options, but probably most of them rely on Google Search itself. Even with Google Search installed I can switch to it with keyboard chooser, but voice input doesn't work for that apk version. Maybe others will work somehow.

How will I give that permission ? as you said the FireTVjack has " OnBootComplete receiver which looks for exact packages" . - but that wont contain the custom package name for a random keyboard apk that I would try ?

You can install apk which can edit settings (Settings Database Editor for example), grant needed permission to it and use it's UI to edit settings db directly.

Try this release: https://github.com/yuliskov/LeanKeyKeyboard/releases
Also, which fireh1jack version do you have? (one which enables leankey keyboard on boot must have com.amazon.fireh1jack package id)

This is leankey package name on my Fire Stick I was successful in activating on my stick.
Hi,
Our Xiaomi MI 9T is splendid with its great AMOLED full screen without any notch or hole.
However, the web browsers like Chrome (and others apps) doesn't propose the possibility in the settings to remove the notification bar and to get a true immersive full screen mode.
No problem, adb is there!
No need to root the smartphone.
EDIT: I have tested "Immersive Manager Application" from Google Play Store and it's perfect. Very simple and it works even when you reboot your phone.
No more need to type adb commands below except at least few adb commands to grant the Secure Settings permission to the app. This is well explained by the application when you launch it the first time.
I let the adb commands below for information in case we had some "purists" who prefer adb than an immersive app.
1/ Enable the Developper mode
Go to Parameters/ About the phone
Click many times (at least 10) on the MIUI Version to activate the Developper mode
2/ Enable USB Debugging
Go to Parameters/... Others parameters/Developper options
Click on USB debugging
Click on Install via USB => You will have to connect to your MI account
Click on USB debugging (security parameters)
3/ Launch adb on your PC
Get adb.exe on the net (very easy)
Put it in a folder of your PC (for instance C:/adb)
Connect your smartphone to the PC
Launch a DOS command window
Go to the adb folder => cd /adb
To check if your smartphone is ready, type:
Code:
adb devices
If it's the first time, there will be a popup on your smartphone to authorize the adb commands
Then, normally your device will appear after typing "adb devices"
4/ Get the list of applications installed on your smartphone
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
Retrieve the name of the application(s) you want to remove the notification bar.
5a/ For instance, hide the notification bar only for Chrome and Google Photos
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=com.android.chrome,com.google.android.apps.photos
Note: Each time you enter this command, you cancel the previous one. You need to type only one command with all the apps you want to remove the notification bar (names of app are separated by a comma ,).
5b/ For instance, if you want to hide the notification bar for all the applications
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
6/ If you want to cancel this setting and put back the notification bar
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Enjoy your brillant full screen mainly when you are in dark mode.

Hi,
Our Xiaomi MI 9T is splendid with its great AMOLED full screen without any notch or hole.
However, the web browsers like Chrome (and others apps) doesn't propose the possibility in the settings to remove the notification bar and to get a true immersive full screen mode.
No problem, adb is there!
No need to root the smartphone.
1/ Activate the Developper mode
Go to Parameters/ About the phone
Click many times (at least 10) on the MIUI Version to activate the Developper mode
2/ Activate USB Debugging
Go to Parameters/... Others parameters/Developper options
Click on USB debugging
Click on Install via USB => You will have to connect to your MI account
Click on USB debugging (security parameters)
3/ Launch adb on your PC
Get adb.exe on the net (very easy)
Put it in a folder of your PC (for instance C:/adb)
Connect your smartphone to the PC
Launch a DOS command window
Go to the adb folder => cd /adb
To check if your smartphone is ready, type:
Code:
adb devices
If it's the first time, there will be a popup on your smartphone to authorize the adb commands
Then, normally your device will appear after typing "adb devices"
4/ Get the list of applications installed on your smartphone
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
Retrieve the name of the application(s) you want to remove the notification bar.

The setting is reset on reboots. How can it be persisted?

Do you have root permissions? If the asnwer is "yes" you can do this:
Install terminal emulator from google play store. Open it and writte "su"
now writte this:
settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
Tachan! you have immensive mode active. Only save the command in a note app. Always you reboot your phone the only thing you have to do is open terminal, su and paste your command.
A lot more easy and fast than do it with adb. the only "problem" is you need root.
If someone knows how to add an exception, please say so.
How do you show it on lock screen? Any ideas?

Enable USB debugging (security settings) under developer options.
I used SystemUI Tuner as it allows for blacklisting apps (sucha as whatsapp) that don´t manage full screen well.

Thank you! It worked, but as stated above, it reset after phone restart.
Maybe running a tasker command at boot might fix it ?
Edit: Use the Immersive Manager app (thank me later!)

No, it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader.
You have just to activate the developper mode as I indicate it.

Yes, it's true. Each time you reboot the phone, you should loose the setting.
And good point, thank you Ramsyst, I didn't check on Google Play Store the myriad of immersive mode applications!!
I have tested "Immersive Manager Application" and it's perfect. Very simple and it works even when you reboot your phone. :good::good:
I had previously created a task with Tasker and AutoTools (paid version) to change the immersive mode with the "Custom Setting" feature. But knowing that there are many apps (free and paid version) doing that better than AutoTools, it's not usefull to describe how I did it.

Thank you too! I didn't know this immersive mode was possible until i stumbled on your thread. Now, we can all enjoy that beautiful screen 100%!

With Tasker you already have an option to make all apps you want to go immersive! There is no need to use any other command or app.
I believe everybody in the world should buy tasker
Is the best Android app. It may looks hard in the begining, but your imagination is the limit to do whatever you want.
Hi how can i used this on split screen but in full screen mode with status bar and navigation?

You're right. I had never tested the split screen function. The notification bar is not hidden on split screen mode even when immersive mode is activated. The result is a bit weird as there is a mix of notification bar and app on the top of the screen.
"Google search" indicates that you are not the first one to face this issue... but apparently no solution has been found so far.
If somebody can help.
