Fire-Tools

Fire Tools is a powerful collection of tools that debloat and install Google services on your Fire Tablet to make it feel snappier and improve usability. Additionally it supports custom launchers such as Nova, Lawnchair, or any .apk. If you need to install multiple apps quickly there’s a batch installer. It’s as easy as dropping all your .apk(m)s in the Batch folder and clicking the Batch Install button!

Fire OS 7.3.2.2+ Users: Some functions may not work, such as Custom Launcher, but most packages will still be disabled

Note: This tool requires USB Debugging to be enabled
