Shouldn't be too hard to do an adb pull on the configuration file that determines what keyboard your using, switch the value, do and adb push and now your stock keyboard works! That's where I'd be spending my time...
Here's what stackoverflow said:
Code:
$ adb shell ime
usage: ime list [-a] [-s]
ime enable ID
ime disable ID
ime set ID
Just for the sake of sanity, have you tried rebooting?

Boot into safe mode, hopefully it will give you stock kb and you can get in and remove the other kb. We can then go from there to figure out the issue.

[Q] Manually Launch Fire TV Launcher?

I recently started using SPMC as my launcher and while it's really nice, I haven't figured out how to get back into the Fire TV's base settings (I'd like to pair a controller). Can I access the Fire TV's settings or maybe manually launch the Fire TV's settings or even the launcher through an adb shell am command?
Edit: I managed to pair my controller by launching the android 'Settings' app I had sideloaded a while back but I'm still curious if it's possible to launch Fire TV's default launcher via command line

That's great thanks for the response! Your website is great by the way it's been the best resource there is since I got this thing.
Is there a way to turn on debugging on the fire tv where I can tail the log and see what it's running while I'm on it? For the sake of pulling commands if I wanted to add apps to advanced launcher or something

I'm glad you're liking the site. I've actually got to thank you. While figuring out those commands for you, I discovered a hidden debug menu. Writing up a post about it right now. Should be up shortly.
Run "adb shell logcat" to tail the log file. Use "CTRL+C" to exit.

Amazon fire phone Keyboard !

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

Also confirmed this is working with google's keyboard (latinime) installed from the play store. Had it go 'wide' on me once, but a reboot fixed that. (Only saw half the keyboard as it was stretched off the screen)

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.

Alternative Keyboard / Language Firestick 4k

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:
Code:
settings list secure|grep input

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.

TCL Android (55P8S) Turn off button sound

Help me out guys... TCL Android TV (55 P8S). Every time a button is pressed on the remote it utters a confirmation noise. Infuriating. I can't seem to find any menu to change button-press noise confirmation off. Any thoughts? It's like listening to a teenager texting in the mid 2000s lol.

On p8m it's in sound options or system settings (don't remember exactly). Not the android settings of course.

Hope you found your answer.
If not :
Go Settings > Sound > Advanced Settings > Sound Feedback > Off
I have a TCL P8M and this worked for me. In case yours is slightly different, go ahead and fiddle around till you find 'sound feedback' which is usually in Sound settings.

This can be fixed with ADB.
1. Enable ADB debugging on device
2. install ADB on your computer.
3. Start a shell (cmd for example if Windows) on computer, if ADB is not in your $PATH variable - navigate to folder where it's installed
4. Find the device IP of your Android TV
5. Connect to the TV using ADB from your computer:
NB! Replace the all of the X characters with the IP of your TV, e.g: 192.168.0.2:5555
Code:
adb connect x.x.x.x:5555
6. On the TV, allow ADB device
7. Run the following command in your shell on the computer:
Code:
adb shell settings put system SOUND_EFFECTS_ENABLED 0

I dont have the setting on my TV and the adb command dosent fix the problem.

adb shell settings put system sound_effects_enabled 0
this fixed the issue for me. It had to be small letters in my case.

There is also this apk if anyone in the future doesn't want to use adb
iangry0/TCLButtonSound: Disables or enables TCL android TV button sound (github.com)
