Now my Nova Launcher is seamless :) Hopefully this will help someone else.
To do so, follow the steps below: Start up your Amazon Fire and install Google Play. If you are already familiar with ADB or already set it up to install Google Play or whatever, this is super easy. Firstly, youll need to make changes to your security settings. Hopefully it will help someone else too with this super annoying issue. If you’ve already installed a third-party launcher from Google Play, APKMirror, or another trusted source, then you can run the following line to disable the default Fire OS Launcher: adb shell. I set up the tablet without internet and disabled the automatic OTA updates before connecting to wifi using Fire Toolbox.
Summarized the solution (for me) was to disable the user account that the stock fire launcher uses by using ADB and running:Īdb shell pm disable-user -user 0 I had the same issue because my fire 10 tablet was on software version 7.3.2.2 so I ordered a new fire 10 tablet that just came today and it had SW version 7.3.2.1. I spent several days researching and trying to fix this issue, was about to attempt rooting my fire or trying the amazon fire toolbox above, when I came across this: Hi! Sorry for resurrecting the dead (post), but I wanted to post in case someone else gets here trying to solve this issue and wants a different solution to the ones above (and/or the non-existent ones elsewhere), I was having this same issue on my Amazon Fire 7, same setup/issue (Nova Launcher / pressing the home button goes to the stock fire interface then takes 5ish seconds to flip back to Nova Launcher / none of the solutions I found online helped).
