Greetings @Bunky101!

Congratulations on opening your first issue!

I want to be sure that I get this right the first time, so in order to do that I'd like for you to test out a command for me to see if it opens the "Manage Installed Applications" menu on your Fire device.

Please follow the instructions numbered 2 - 5 that are listed here

2. In Home Assistant, open Developer tools
3. Click the ACTIONS tab
4. In the Action menu, select Android Debug Bridge: ADB command
5. Select your device by clicking on the + Choose Entity button in the Targets section

Instead of following step number 6, please enter the following command into the command field instead:

adb shell am start -a android.settings.APPLICATION_SETTINGS -n com.amazon.tv.settings.v2/.tv.applications.ApplicationsActivity

Press the PERFORM ACTION button next (as listed in step 7)

If that worked properly, your Amazon Fire device should have opened the proper menu for you. If not, please repeat these steps but use this command instead:

adb shell am start -a android.settings.MANAGE_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS -n com.amazon.tv.settings.v2/.tv.applications.ApplicationsActivity

Both of these commands worked in my environment when I tested them. If neither of them work for you, please let me know the exact supported device that you are using so that I can run some more tests.

Either way, please let me know!

Doug, First thanks for looking into this as well as the work you are doing for the community. Both commands worked but the first did seem to be a bit faster to open the menu but it was not by much in my testing. Let me know if you have more testing to be done and when you think the changes will be committed and released into production. I’ll be glad to test again the production release if needed.
