      Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today
      Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
      There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today
      Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell
      Come to Jesus Christ today
      Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
      Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
      Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
      Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
      Romans 6.23
      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

The bloatware is incredible. Thats fine for sheeple but not for people who like to control the content of the devices they use. Not to mention the RAM being eaten up by the bloatware and ads SIGNIFICANTLY reduces performance on these tablets. Such a shame.

      Can you answer a quick question for me please , I have always done most of this manually and never used this tool before and I never debloated , so if you use the standard option in the debloater does it disable/ break the hands free Alexa or show mode features?
      basically I want to get rid of everything except Amazon app store, Alexa hands free, and show mode
      and the smart home control menu in the nav bar
      will this tool do that?

    2023 sadly this guide no longer works, the interface has changed and so have permissions and Fire Tablet firmware. However, I managed to get Google Play and Book store installed. I picked up a white Certified Refurbished 10 inch tablet for £135 I was tempted to wait another eight days to see if they went down in price, but because the white version was limited stock, I decided to go and order, and then wait for Prime day and if they go down in price, then I can send this one back and buy another cheaper, but the white versions might have all gone. I just tried one ebook which is the reason why I wanted the tablet for and it is fantastic. So much better than trying to read on my Pixel phone. You can get cheaper tablets same size for a lot less, but some of the bad reviews put me off buying one, as one review said about the charger blowing up in his daughters face when she turned it on. I have just tried RUclips and I used Costa Rica 4K and the quality is (swear words) fantastic, I also had to go old school and play Tiffany I think we are alone now and the sound quality is very good, not tinny as some people say it is. I was looking at the new Google tablet, but at £700 so £566 more expensive, this is well worth it, especially if you can it in a colour that you want. I am sick of just black devices which is why I brought this one, white tablets matter, take the knee people.

      @Clarissa 1986 that is the risk, for sure. Just like using ad blocker on RUclips... However, I'm willing to bet (with my literal money) that Amazon would never do this. What's also important to remember is that, you bought the hardware that "is" the tablet. It's your hardware to do what you want! Amazon takes a risk by using hardware that they did not engineer to build a tablet to run their software (which is also on the backs of open source Linux software). Trust me, they get enough people to put up with ads to continue putting out fire tablets. Interesting concern though, I have thought about it :)
