Hi there, is there alternative software that can be installed instead? Any recommendations?

That does not solve the problem. Its just an app installed onto the firetv. You do not replace the launcher or circumventing launch screen ads.
I don't have a firestick, but they might just be meaning a different launcher. I use this one on a Shield. Works great. https://www.firesticktricks.com/wolf-launcher.html
Amazon’s shit is locked down pretty well. At least the fire cube is, not sure about the stick.
I wasn’t able to easily change launchers on my 1st gen cube. It is possible via flashing a whole new OS I believe but I was really hoping for a side-loadable solution.
