I deleted the Amazon launcher so I could use fire starter since it's quicker and all my apps are just a few clicks away.
I usually don't watch prime video, but they have a series I would like to watch.
How can I access prime video. I tried installing the prime video apk as an alternative to the launcher but it wouldn't install.

Anyone have the launcher apk so I can reinstall it temporarily.
I had the same problem, unfortunately you can't (as long as I know) it's been if you keep the Amazon launcher

Actually on my FTV Stick 2 I have a package called com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom.firetv which is accessible via TVLauncher 3 (a 3rd party launcher). It works just like the standard Android TV app.
UPDATE: I tried it with AppStarter and it works fine!

My launcher is "uninstalled" for my user. I have Google Play Services installed but I don't set how that would affect it. Be careful. There are two prime video apks/applications on the Fire TV Stick 2. One is for the launching of videos from the launcher and one is for actual standalone viewing. Look in your chosen launcher for both and try both. I think the incorrect one only says "Video" w/ the correct icon.

People have said it works... but it breaks a few things. How did you install it?
Found this apk on Reddit. I don't yet have my 6T. My unlocked one is coming tomorrow, but I saw someone say the option to enable the Google Feed in the native OnePlus launcher is available ONLY on TMobile variants.
FYI, this isn't my link so it might be beneficial to add a mirror. I'll attempt to add one later
So here is a link I got from Reddit with that apk: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NVqs9u_r--AYaB-cRqfDkab1fMXdI_7p
Original source: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/9uec1u
Edit: Unsure if this will work for unlocked 6T models.
thanks for adding this...look forward to finding a solution. I have the tmobile version and the unlocked direct from oneplus (dont ask lol) So i was really surprised when i turned on the op version and found that there was no google feed available. On the plus side gestures etc work properly!
Tried installing the OP's APK. Shows as an update to an existing app but it won't install. I have no details beyond that, sorry.

They're probably signed differently. You'll need to disable the built in launcher first and then try installing it. (Might be easier to install a third launcher first so you can still navigate around after disabling the stock launcher and installing the T-Mobile one).
It might also be a feature in the ROM and not the launcher.
I updated to the 9.10 version of the launcher from apkmirror and I still have the shelf/Google option on my T-Mobile variant.

Might be an "enabler" type app like pixel bridge. We need someone on T-Mobile to do some digging.
Yep... I need this.
meanwhile trying to install the 3.1 launcher on my tmobile 6t doesn't give me the updated gestures....
Very interested in this as well! I'm good with the Oxygen Launcher but am really missing my Now feed from my Pixel 2 XL. I know I can load a different launcher (Nova, Rootless, etc) but want to experience the pure Oxygen OS as I've heard great things about it! (First time OnePlus user) Adding the Google Feed widget to the shelf doesn't work either. It never updates.
I have Nova prime installed and when I go to integrations the Google feed option isn't there. Anyone else seeing this on an unlocked 1+6t?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
This version of the launcher seems to be signed with the same certificate, has anyone tried adb shell pm install -r -d to install this version (not sure if this works on Pie)?
Don't forget to install the Nova companion app for Google now

Correct.
Just make sure that the apk file is in the same directory as adb.
I found this in the Fire tv section but it works great for the Shield too. Just another option for people to change launchers.
Just install the FTVLaunchX 1.0.0 apk
Open the app and choose your launcher you want.
Reboot and after a reboot it takes about 10 seconds for it to change to your new launcher. The person who made the app says he is going to try to get it to change quicker on boot.
It is inspired by the famous LauncherHijack of @BaronKiko and tries to overcome several issues relating to it:
- Reliably intercepts any & all presses of the home button
- Starts the selected launcher on boot
- Starts the selected launcher when waking up from sleep
- Fixes the ominous missing-cursor bug in Silk
- etc.
FTVLaunchX needs the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to enable an accessibility service on your Fire TV device.
If you know what you are doing then simply grant this permission by executing the following command in an ADB shell on your device:
$ pm grant de.codefaktor.ftvlaunchx android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX/releases/download/v1.0.0/FTVLaunchX-1.0.0.apk
Thanks go to @TheRealQubix and @BaronKiko
Thanks for posting!

I'm unclear on the purpose of this. On the shield you can change your launcher and the home button takes you right to it, and it appears on boot. Is this for non-TV designed launchers?

This is for the current hotfix for the 2019 models.
Q. The ability to set an alternative default launcher is a feature a lot of users want and did have until this hotfix! Can the ability to change default launcher be re-implemented?
A. No, unfortunately not.
Q. Is that with this hotfix or is this something we won’t be able to do from here on out?
A. From here on out. In order for us to pass Google certification and release images, this rule must be followed.
Q. Not even when the final 8.1.1 image is released?
A. Not even the final production image. It's even more important for the final 8.1.1 image. Full production images need Google certification, past hotfixes did not need google certification but Disney+ will only install on Google certified images so even HotFix images that have Disney+ install support need it now.
A. It applies to all future SHIELD experience updates for all models.

So eventually it will happen to all models in a future update.

Doesn't seem to allow data and cache clearing or am I mistaken?
Appears to be compatible with Pie as well.
The data blocking is a nice feature.

Makes sense that all apps wouldn't be visible on Android 11 for this particular phone.
Something slightly separate, but I had an Android 11 Pixel 3XL over a year ago, and the file managers still worked normally. On this phone, however, since upgrading to the Android 11 Beta, the file managers (I've already tried three different ones) don't work at all when you go to the non-root required drive section that stores your non-system applications (stuff you got from the Play Store). It just shows that every single folder aside from the download folder is empty now on every file manager... So something is most definitely wrong with their current hard drive storage/access on Android 11 - and that could also possibly be why certain apps aren't showing up in the package disabler.
By the way, we have Android 11 Beta4 dropping on this Tuesday (12AM EST), so the official release will probably be around Christmas time (exactly four weeks after beta 4 releases). So we'll see if either of these updates fix this goofy issue.

Tried installing it on my 10+ running on Pie.
Install ok but it wanted a login created to do -anything-
So I did but it was glitchy. Even after I created an account it didn't want to login.
Grrrrr...
I have a working PD so for now I don't need to muck with this...
Got tired of saying kind, nurturing things to it, and kicked it out:laugh:
On Beta, it works amazingly. But it is missing a few system apps like calculator and such but im guessing thats because of beta. Otherwise amazing.
This app is amazing
Just disabled over 50 useless system apps
