If it is going away, I hope that means that my Fire tablet

The tool works great and allows you to customize what apps are on the
tablet. You can even go to only Google apps if that is your wish.

All for the amazingly low price of $0.

Thanks, Shawn, I think you posted that for me before,
so I checked it out then. The size of the "fix" is
more than my dialup connection can download. :(

I had found another way to root the Fire, but it required
both a huge file be downloaded AND it was only for
Win7 "or better" (there isn't any Win past XP that
is "better" IMHO, and none better than a Linux distro).

I may try to download the link if/when I get back down
to the Big City and have time to stop by the library
there, then see if I can get it to give me the control
over my own device that I'm used to.

Really? Does your connection drop after so many minutes? I used to do

Good luck. I can testify to the program working well and giving you
complete control over your tablet. You can remove anything (even
things you shouldn't) but it does a good job of informing you what
each application does and lets you know which are system related and
as such shouldn't be removed.

They'll just move it back to prime. Unless you pay more to remove them,
Prime is the same as freevee now that they've added ads.

Really? Does your connection drop after so many minutes? I
used to do big downloads over night back when I was on
dialup.

Yes. I have trouble downloading much of anything over
3MB without a LOT of patience and manipulations.

My ISP limits connection time to 5 hours at a go, but
I rarely can manage much over an hour at a time without
speed degradation or lockups. Some of that is due to
noise on my telephone line, but other problems include
problems with servers sending data too fast for my
connection to handle.

I had found another way to root the Fire, but it required
both a huge file be downloaded AND it was only for
Win7 "or better" (there isn't any Win past XP that
is "better" IMHO, and none better than a Linux distro).

Good to know that it will be worth the effort.

I mostly want to get rid of about half the standard
ammy-supplied apps (stuff for kids, Prime Video, and
others I'll never use). They take up a LOT of room
that is better used for what I actually bought the
Fire to do: BOOKS!

Plans now have me doing an errand and stock-up trip the
middle of next month, so I hope to get through the necessary
parts of the excursion with enough time for that library
stop. The library limits logins to one hour connection
time, but that should be plenty to grab what I need and
hit the road again.

Nyssa, who is digitally deprived

Yep, that's me.

No, that doesn't cover all of the lying. When they are breathing or decomposing is probably closer to the truth.
