Is there any way to set the default launcher to something like nova in Fire OS 5.3.1. without changing your system partition like traditional rooting methods. So while the device was really cheap and makes a study enough impression considering its cheap price, I can't really use it because the Fire Launcher home screen is bloated with apps I don't need, and some of the apps I want are plainly missing from the amazon app store. Magisk is a lot of things, but in this context it is a way to root your device. Once all the packages are installed you will. They all support latest 802 The Kindle Fire HD has a lovely default carousel launcher designed by Amazon, and by default, there isn’t any way to change it I was lucky that my device was only updated to 5 However, because of how Google's framework app targets various versions of Android, we advise everyone to download version 5 Free version. From there type in '2' which 'Installs Google Apps / Go Launcher. Type in '7' for going into the 'Extras' options. Double click on that file, you should see a command prompt window display. Every time I hit the home button, the Fire Launcher starts, and the option to set the default launcher in Nova just directs me to the kindle settings, where no default app settings are to be found. Once installed - if not already, open kindle Fire Utility folder, you should see a file called 'run' inside. However, I can't find a way to set Nova Launcher as the default launcher. I managed to install the Nova Launcher apk by copying it directly onto the Fire and allowing unsigned apps. While it seems that at this point there is no known method to downgrade to an earlier version of Fire OS, nor root without bricking the device, I tried to make do with what is available.

I just got a used but near mint condition Kindle Fire 7 5th generation which unfortunately came with Fire OS 5.3.1.0.
