# ReVanced Tools
Download each of the apps in the list. Then open ReVanced and patch your youtube app. To revert at any time, simply uninstall the app and use the original youtube app from the play store.
You can get links to open in the ReVanced app by going into settings > apps > youtube > open by default and unchecking all the options. Then delete data, disable/delete the app, then restart.
To enable links to open in Youtube ReVanced, go to settings > apps > Youtube ReVanced > open by default and select all the options, then restart.
> NOTE: On my pixel device it seems any youtube links from google chrome will try to open in the stock youtube app, or take you to the play store to install/enable it. This doesn't seem to happen from the google app.

# FireTV Tools
## Set Screensaver
Lets you set a custom screensaver app. I have included a modified application in this repo called "Website Daydream" that changes the default wallpaper to the website https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/home
After installing Website Daydream, install the application called Activity launcher (https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/de.szalkowski.activitylauncher/). Open it, and just touch the website daydream app in order for it to work.
## Check Screensaver
Gets the current values for your screensaver and returns them.
## Debloat
Disables ALL unnecessary Amazon services that are not needed (may break some amazon services)
# System Tools
Each action is performed on the connected android device with the exception of the Terminal action. This opens the terminal on your local computer in the __platform-tools__ folder where you can directly run ADB commands.
Ex. `./adb install test.apk`
For Battery Remaining, just divide the number by 1000 to get your battery status in mAh.
You can learn more about ADB commands at [https://developer.android.com/tools/adb](https://developer.android.com/tools/adb)
# Debugging
If your device is showing connected but says offline when you list devices or you cannot perform some actions, simply turn off ADB debugging on your device and re-enable it. Then reconnect using the app and it should work again.
