ADB Performance Tweaks
We can use ADB to improve the performance of your Amazon device. On FireOS 5.x device, you can not make a ADB connection directly on the device itself, you have to do it from another Android device / emulator.
On your alternative device install Remote ADB from here
Find the IP address of your device by going to Settings — My Fire TV — About — Network
Ensure you have enabled ADB enabled in Settings — My Fire TV — Developer Options.
Open Remote ADB and enter the IP of your device on port 5555
Once connected enter in the this command:settings put system transition_animation_scale 0.0
click Run
Ensure there are no errors and then enter in the 2nd commandsettings put system window_animation_scale 0.0
Finally enter in the final commandsettings put system animator_duration_scale 0.5
click Run
The 3 commands will turn off the Window and Transition animations which will give you quicker UI performance
You will need to reboot your device to apply the change
