I considered deleting this post, but I'm going to leave it up in case others run into the same issue. I downloaded Launcher Hijack 4 from the post I mentioned above, where a user had to rename the Launcher Hijack app to get around Amazon's block and repacked it into a new apk: Īfter installing this apk, Nova Launcher is working fine. I didn't realize it's the Launcher Hijack apk that introduces the "To detect home button press" setting into the Accessibility settings page. 106 HD 3000×2675 px cloud-based wallpaper for direct access to. So my understanding of the Accessibility options was misguided. I was able to get apex launcher installed, along with root access. I wonder if removing the 'To detect home button press' option was another step in this direction. This post leads me to believe that Amazon is trying to make it harder to make these kinds of tweaks: Ī comment in that post indicates a user at xda-developers had to repack the Launcher Hijack APK to get around some kind of block Amazon had set up. A big screen without a big price tag, the Amazon Fire HD 10 a tempting choice for shoppers looking for an affordable, albeit limited tablet But the first thing you want to do is get your Fire ready to install apps from someplace other than the Amazon Apps Store Once you have installed all four apps, hold down the power button, tap ‘OK’ to. I purchased this tablet last week, has OS 6.3.0.1. I don't believe this is just me, because I found a comment from a month ago where another user indicated that this option had disappeared for him as well, but no further update. That option is simply unavailable under 'Accessibility'. I'm following the ubiquitous directions on how to use Nova Launcher, but I get stuck at the step where they say to go into 'Settings -> Accessibility -> To detect home button press'.
