Sadly Amazon have forced out a fire 7 os (android 9) on the 2018 fire 8hd.
Alexa is now like a robot and slightly slower, the speakers are 25% lower (like they say the 2020 8plus is) for all but alexa, you can not see tasks so can't use task killer and you can't see the CPU now
tinycore won't work so you can't find apps that slow your fire like "my clock"
It's bad, I use Alexa to read ww2 books and now its like android assistant and music is too low.
I hope there's a way to block this update or roll it back
Can I get my old fire 8 2018 back with a reset?
Also can I block the update URLs or better disable the ota app/service
