Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (1st gen, 2018) debloat list

28 packages that owners have disabled on the Fire TV Stick 4K (2018) without breaking it, grouped by what they do. Copy the commands, run them over ADB, and undo any of them with one line.

Quick start: 3 steps

Connect. Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options → ADB debugging. If Developer options is hidden, open Settings → My Fire TV → About, highlight the first entry and press select 7 times. Port 5555, no pairing. Then run adb connect <TV-IP>:5555 and accept the prompt on the TV.

Start with: Ads, sponsored rows, recommendations, promos. These are the biggest win and safe on this device:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.kso.blackbird
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.sneakpeek
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.hybridadidservice
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.hedwig

Choose the rest. Pick packages in the command generator → or copy all 28 commands below.

Tested on: Fire OS 6.7.1.1 (Android 7.1.2), model AFTMM
List last checked: 2026-10-29
Stock home screen: com.amazon.tv.launcher (protected)
Connecting with ADB: Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options → ADB debugging. If Developer options is hidden, open Settings → My Fire TV → About, highlight the first entry and press select 7 times. Port 5555, no pairing.

Read this first

Home cannot be replaced by disabling it: com.amazon.tv.launcher is a protected package. This list removes services, not the home screen.
The list author calls it a fair start for other Fire OS 6 devices such as the 1st-gen Fire TV Cube. Fire OS 7 devices differ: use their own lists.
If you disable Alexa voice search (com.amazon.vizzini), Fire OS turns it back on at every boot, so you would have to re-run the commands after each restart.
Fire OS 6 has no Private DNS setting. For an ad-blocking DNS, set a static IP with custom DNS in the Wi-Fi advanced settings, or block amazon-adsystem.com on your router.
A reboot resets the favourites bar to Amazon's defaults, and Fire OS updates can turn packages back on.
