With the new Fire OS 5 update we can use the Debloater tool to disable APKs/services responsible for automatic updating.
No more worrying if your router is blocking everything properly. And of course... no root needed!
After hitting apply the Debloater tool should take a moment then show all apks "hidden" and your Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick will no longer get OTA updates.
If you go into Settings > System > About you can no longer check for updates... yay.
You can simply "unhide" each apk using the Debloater tool if you should ever want to reverse this process.
Be careful if you try to disable other system apps. If you disable something important and the device won't start up.. you'll have to perform a factory reset to fix the issue (not sure if possible with stick?).
Have more apks to disable to reduce unneeded system processes? please share.
