Thank You!! i almost sent my 4k stick back, but your way works. also, if you dont already know, you can use shizuku app to enable icebox app, which can then be used to freeze amazon updates on the stick. i believe this is the only working way to block them now. although it is unclear on the xda page, once you freeze apps, they do stay frozen through reboots. https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/suprise-root-pc-adb-fire-stick-to-t3918668 |

This fixes the restriction introduced by the latest FireOS version (at least on Fire TVs): the setting enabled_accessibility_services cannot be changed anymore via adb, however it can still be changed via application. Hence the solution: change it via LauncherHijack itself. This way, instead of setting the accessibility variables manually, the users just need to grant LauncherHijack the required system permission:
adb shell pm grant com.baronkiko.launcherhijack android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
