Notes & quirks on this firmware

  • Fire OS 7.7.1.7 / Android 9 (SDK 28), build PS7717.5741N, MediaTek, armeabi-v7a. US.
  • Done remotely over Tailscale through a Synology NAS as subnet router (docs/REMOTE.md, option B).
  • Second unit: 75" Fire TV Omni Series (same AFTTIFF43 / brandenburg, panel AMZ_K24NE5_4K75M600A,
  • board m7632), Fire OS 7.7.1.4, build PS7714.5507N, US, on Wi-Fi. AFTTIFF43 covers several panel sizes.
  • FIRE OS: DEBLOAT ONLY. Home stays com.amazon.tv.launcher/.ui.HomeActivity_vNext (priority 950);
  • the shared launcher does not apply. Same build line as toshiba-fire-tv-aftha004, and the list
  • starts from it plus the ad and tracking packages from insignia-ns55f301na25.
  • Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
  • Protected (pm disable-user refused with "Cannot disable a protected package"), so left out:
  • com.fireos.usagestats.proxy, com.amazon.device.crashmanager, com.amazon.device.metrics,
  • com.amazon.ftvads.deeplinking.
  • Kept on purpose: Alexa core (com.amazon.vizzini, alexadirectivebrokerservice, alexa.datastore;
  • the Alexa and Fire TV phone apps control the TV through it, and voice only listens while the mic
  • button is held), casting (AirPlay com.apple.airplay.amazon.airplay, Miracast com.amazon.cast.sink,
  • DIAL/whisperplay), OTA updates, Live TV and channel scan, Silk (com.amazon.cloud9) and the website
  • launcher, account and sync services, Appstore, HDMI inputs (com.mediatek.tvinput), remote and
  • Bluetooth.
  • Ships with only YouTube installed (com.amazon.firetv.youtube); the Netflix/Prime/Disney+ tiles are
  • placeholders that install on first open. The Amazon-hosted hero banner on Home is not affected by
  • this list; Private DNS (dns.adguard-dns.com) works on this build (private_dns_mode hostname) and
  • blocks doubleclick.net and amazon-adsystem.com, but not YouTube ads.
  • adb exec-out screencap -p prints "Init wrapper sys mutex successful" before the PNG data on this
  • set (docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md).
  • 75" Omni unit, 2026-10-24: the whole list plus the "Added from the 75\" Omni" group below, in four
  • batches with a Home screenshot after each, then rebooted: Home, Settings, HDMI input switching and
  • Netflix work, and every entry stayed disabled except com.amazon.vizzini. Notes from that unit:
  • - com.amazon.neo.minerva and com.amazon.neo.minerva.logcat are not installed on PS7714 ("Unknown
  • package"); the rest of the list applies as is.
  • - The Omni has far-field mics for hands-free Alexa, so "only listens while the mic button is held"
  • does not hold there. com.amazon.vizzini comes back enabled on its own within minutes, even without a
  • reboot, so it cannot be kept off; the TV's physical mic switch is the way to silence the mics.
  • - Tubi (com.tubitv.ott), Fire TV Channels (com.amazon.hedwig) and the sponsored rows are preinstalled.
  • - Private DNS (dns.adguard-dns.com) confirmed again: ad domains resolve to 127.0.0.1, the network stays
  • VALIDATED. The Pluto TV hero slides and the "Stream Free" row stay: they come from the launcher feed.
  • - The first tools/tv.py --reboot ended in a TimeoutError and the set did not restart (uptime unchanged);
  • the second was accepted. Read /proc/uptime after a reboot before trusting a check.
  • Disabled on the 75" Omni unit by that owner's choice, kept by the first owner. Uncomment to disable.

Where the ads on this model come from

Built from the packages this firmware actually ships. Each one is listed below with its own risk rating.

  • Home-screen recommendation rows (Fire OS)

    Amazon draws its sponsored tiles from the launcher, which is a protected package and cannot be replaced or disabled. The bidding, sneak-peek and recommendation services behind those slots are removable, so turning them off empties the sponsored rows while Home keeps working.

    com.amazon.sneakpeek · com.amazon.kso.blackbird · com.amazon.media.recommendations

  • Vendor content apps and ad-funded channels

    These vendor apps carry their own promotion rails and free ad-supported channels, and they keep advertising after the home screen is replaced because they do not depend on the launcher.

  • Viewing telemetry and device identifiers

    Viewing habits, automatic content recognition and device identifiers are reported by dedicated vendor and Google packages. Disabling them stops the reporting without affecting playback.
