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.
