Grey icons on 3rd party apps - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Other than using a new launcher, is there any fix for the grey icons issue on the gen 2 fire cube? All 3rd party and sideloaded apps have grey icons.
Thank you

You can launch it in the apps page in Fire TV settings.
You can use Sideload Launcher by @Chainfire

Jelly Bean with the top down?

I had this in another forum but didn't receive a response.
Is there a jelly bean rom where I can hide the top bar the space above the blue line? with everything I need in the bottom status bar, the top bar takes up unneeded space.
If you are referring to the kindle, swtch to tablet mode.

Yes I tried that. I've tried three different ROMs, but they all have the space above the blue bar.
WTF are you talking about?
Perhaps it is the launcher. I use Apex and have no blue bar and no space. I turn off the separator for the dock and have no wasted space. I close the dock and hide the status bar all the time for full screen.

ADW is a GB/FroYo launcher, hence incomplete compatibility with ICS and JB.

Kindle 2 unrooted adw 10.4.3 wallpaper problem

Does anyone know how to enable wallpaper for the adw launcher ex on a unrooted kindle fire 2 on 10.4.3?
It has to be rooted to fix it, amazon changed a boolean to true for disabling system wallpaper in the framework of the os. I posted a fix on page 8 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295750
But yea you have to be rooted to fix it, because its a system file that has to be modified to fix this. Sorry if this wasn't helpful.

If this is the stock launcher, you're gonna want to download apex or nova (or really any other 3rd party option).

Here's mine right now. On stock launcher, I wish I could move the clock widget up more and the icons are just a little too big IMO. But still digging this phone.
First phone that I actually did not remove the stock background. Haha
Here is mine....I know I'm a dork.
I just switched from T-Mobile to Verizon. This is my first droid phone. But here is my screen shot.
Nova launcher prime. Icons shrunk down, not a fan of large icons on such a high resolution screen. Iride UI icon pack.

It's not a widget, it's a feature of Action Launcher called the "QuickBar"
This is my baby <3
Nova Launcher Prime, Sunshine Icone pack custom, rooted, xposed, UI custom with GravityBox and APM+ I also modified the horrible yellowtint of the Moto X Force screen with CF.lumen custom settings, so dont worry if the white in the screen is a little bit blue, its not that in the phone irl.
What do you think ?

ASOP, Zen UI metallic flow icons. Not sure how to take screen shots on kfowi. I will look into it.

No I used the super tool to root then used flashfire and installed asop rom. It's great
I used LauncherHijack
Not perfect but it's holding me over until I can flash Fire Nexus
Used this tutorial to hide lock screen ads and disable ota's plus the fire launcher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/root-remove-forever-lockscreen-ads-t3824551I
I also disabled Alexa and a few more things so I have a little more available ram. It now runs a bit smoother because I'm not always out of ram when opening a new app. Running Nova Prime with custom navbar to toggle the navigation bar hidden when I want a bit more screen real estate. Now it's just how I like it. Not bad for $50!
