Amazon goes all-in on Vega OS for Fire TV devices (Android based Fire OS media streamer’s days are numbered)

Amazon has released two new Fire TV Sticks in the past two years… and both have shipped with a Linux-based operating system called Vega OS rather than the Android-based Fire OS that Amazon had been using since the company released the first Fire TV Stick more than a decade ago.

While Amazon says the Fire TV Stick 4K Select (2025) and Fire TV HD (2026) are small, cost-effective devices that […]

EN: I found an old Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet in my things - it's old, but surprisingly works. Unfortunately it's got factory terrible Fire OS...

I looked a little and found that people convert 8th generations & newer ones to Lineage OS, but I've got 7th gen.

I'd like to move it to working OS, but don't want to brick it & have limited knowledge. Would you recommend any conversions or not risk it? Or should Lineage work?

Znalazłem w szafie stary tablet Amazon Fire HD 8 - ma wieki, nawet działa, tylko że operuje na fatalnym i ograniczonym Fire OS.

Poszukałem pobieżnie porad i widzę, że od 8 generacji ludzie przerzucają je na Lineage OS - tylko ja mam w ręku 7 generację. Chciałbym go przerzucić na działający OS, ale nie chcę zrobić z niego cegły, a sam nie bardzo się znam - czy polecacie jakieś konwersje, czy lepiej nie próbować? Czy Lineage może zadziałać?

Amazon is escalating its war on Fire TV apps used for piracy. Last year it started blocking sideloaded apps that had been blacklisted from launching. Now you can't even install those apps on Fire TV devices in the first place. https://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tvs-now-block-piracy-apps-on-installation-instead-of-at-launch/ #AmazonFireTV #FireOS #FireTV #Piracy #MediaStreamers

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Fire OS Twitch app fucking sucks.

Amazon patches the exploit that supercharged Fire TV and Fire Tablet hacking

Well it was fun while it lasted. Last month xda-developers forum members Pro-me3us unveiled a method for gaining system user privileges on Fire OS devices, giving users more control over the software that runs on their Amazon Fire TV devices and Amazon Fire tablets. Among other things, it allowed users to replace the default home screen and disable certain Amazon apps and services.

But the […]

Fire Toolbox 42 makes Amazon Fire tablets more like Android tablets by disabling & replacing Amazon apps

Amazon’s Fire Tablets are some of the cheapest tablets worth buying, especially if you can get one when it’s on sale. But part of the reason Amazon’s tablets are priced so competitively is because they ship with a custom version of Android called Fire OS that’s tightly integrated with Amazon’s app, eBook, music, and video services rather than Google’s.

While that tradeoff is fine for some […]

Fire OS hack lets you install custom launchers on Fire TV and tablet devices, disable OTA updates, and install blocked apps

Amazon’s Fire TV and Fire Tablet devices run a modified version of Android called Fire OS that allows you to stream music and video from Amazon, Netflix, and a wide range of other services. You can download and install third-party apps from the Amazon Appstore, and while Amazon doesn’t publicize this fact, it’s also possible to sideload third-party apps.

But Amazon also does its best to […]

Report: Amazon could launch a high-end Android tablet in 2026, eventually ditching Fire OS

Amazon has been selling tablets with a forked version of Android called Fire OS since 2011. The current lineup includes a mix of budget and mid-range devices with starting prices between $60 and $230.

But according to Reuters Amazon could launch something different next year: a premium tablet that sells for around $400 and ships with Android rather than Fire OS.

While it’s still unclear if […]

Fire OS : Amazon devrait bientôt abandonner Android pour un nouveau système basé sur Linux http://dlvr.it/TKQLv5 #Amazon #FireOS

By year's end Amazon could release its first smart TV powered by the Linux-based Vega OS already used for some Echo devices rather than the Android-based Fire OS that it's used up until now. Major apps should be supported, but apps from smaller devs could be left behind. https://www.lowpass.cc/p/amazon-vega-os-2025-release-kepler-sdk #FireTV #Amazon #Vega #FireOS

Based on the number of pageviews this 2023 article has gotten this week, I have a pretty good guess for what present a lot of folks unpacked this week... only to experience moderate annoyance that Amazon tablets don't have the Google Play Store pre-installed. https://buff.ly/4fBDWWr #AmazonFireMax11 #GooglePlayStore #FireOS #FireTablet

NOWA ŚWIETNA APKA #OPENSOURCE!
LocalSend to darmowa, multiplatformowa alternatywa dla #AirDrop. Pozwala na szybkie udostępnienie innym osobom w tej samej sieci LAN plików, w tym zdjęć czy filmów w pełnej jakości. Całość działa na zasadzie Peer-to-Peer, co oznacza, że dane nie opuszczają naszej sieci – wszystko odbywa się lokalnie. Wystarczy, że nadawca i odbiorca otworzą aplikację, a urządzenia wzajemnie się wykryją — wtedy nadawca wybiera odbiorcę i gotowe.
Co ciekawe, nasz odbiorca nie potrzebuje tej aplikacji, aby otrzymać plik — mamy możliwość wygenerowania linku, który pozwala na pobranie danych.
Zadbano także o kwestie bezpieczeństwa — możemy sobie ustawić kod, który będzie wymagany do odbioru lub wysłania pliku.
Jedyną wadą jest ograniczenie urządzeń do tych w tej samej sieci — nie jesteśmy w stanie udostępniać plików do urządzeń obok siebie bez połączenia z siecią LAN tak jak w przypadku prawdziwego AirDropa.
Aplikacja jest dostępna na wszystkie popularne systemy operacyjne: #Windows, #macOS, #Linux, #Android, #iOS, a nawet #FireOS.
Polecam!

Amazon Fire HD 8 (2024) tablets bring memory and camera updates (and AI features)

Amazon’s newest Fire HD 8 tablet for 2024 is… a lot like the company’s 2022 model of this budget tablet. It’s the same size and shape, has the same display, and has the same processor. But the good news is that it also has the same low price tag… and does bring a couple of significant updates.

The new Amazon Fire HD 8 has 50% more RAM than its predecessor, and a slightly better rear […]

Seven years after Ubuntu developer Canonical stopped supporting a mobile version of the GNU/Linux distribution designed for smartphones, the folks at UBPorts continue to keep Ubuntu Touch alive and ticking.

Amazon's Fire TV devices currently run an Android-based operating system called Fire OS, but it looks like Amazon plans to transition to a new OS (probably the Vega OS we've been hearing about). Fire tablets will likely remain unaffected (for now). https://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-job-listing-confirms-that-fire-tv-is-dropping-android-based-fire-os/ #FireOS #VegaOS #Amazon #AmazonFireTV
