This is just a personal note, but if you notice anything please comment. I will make improvements as needed.

Requires root?

Most apps can be disabled in this way, but some are protected and cannot be disabled without root privileges.

Enable developer options

Android developer mode must be enabled and USB debugging must be enabled to perform this operation.

1. Open Settings > Device Options > About Fire Tablet
2. Tap Serial Number more than 7 times.
3. Developer Options appears in Settings > Device Options

Next, enable USB Debugging on Developer Options term.

Install ADB:Android Debug Bridge on your PC

ADB is a very useful tool for debugging Android devices, with various functions such as sending and receiving files, executing commands (you can even enter a shell), installing applications, rebooting bootloaders, turning of/off root privileges and more.

ADB is included in android-platforms-tools package. You can download it from the following page. Supports for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Download android-platform-tools

For Windows, also install the Kindle Fire driver.

Kindle Fire driver for Windows

Connect PC and device

Connect your PC and the Amazon Fire device with a USB cable.

Start a TCP server to connect to the device:

adb start-server

If you check the process, you will see that the TCP server is running. When all is done, terminate the TCP server with adb kill-server.

1093841 ?        Ssl    0:16 adb -L tcp:5037 fork-server server --reply-fd 4
2040234 pts/3    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto adb

Check if the device is recognized

Next, check if the device is recognized:

adb devices

When executed, the output will be as follows:

List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX        device

If the output is unauthorized, make sure that the USB connection method is Media Device (MTP) or File Transfer.

Open Settings > Device Options > Developer Options then select Media Device (MTP) as the connection option (which may be labeled File Transfer depending on the OS version.)

Run the script
