Some launchers will let you run them manually-but my favorite launcher, the Google Now launcher, won’t. The problem is, Amazon doesn’t provide any easy way to change launchers. I also missed having access to launcher widgets, and the ease of swiping left to get to the Google Assistant. There weren’t any huge annoyances, which is why it took so long to get fed up, but finally I got tired of the lack of an app drawer where I could access an app right away if I couldn’t remember what folder I’d put it in. I’ve enjoyed using my Fire HD 8 tablet as my “main” Android tablet these last few months, but I finally got fed up with some of the annoyances of the built-in Fire launcher. There’s a link to a renamed and rebuilt APK file in the thread, and I’ve tried it and it does work-though the usual cautions about installing packages from unverified sources apply. As the posters to this XDA Developers forum thread determined, Amazon has apparently blocked any package by that specific name from running, and working around it is as simple as rebuilding the package with a new name. Update, : LauncherHijack, mentioned in the post below, has abruptly stopped working.
