These are the steps that the user over on the XBMC forums posted to help us out with llama:

Event 1:

When phone starts up - set Llama variable 'startup' to 'true'

Event 2:

When the current app is XBMC on Ouya - set Llama variable 'starup' to 'false'

Event 3:

(Use the AND option) {when the current app is KFTV Launcher and when 'startup' has a value of 'false'} - run XBMC on Ouya.

However, you don't have to set KFTV Launcher as the trigger. I just picked a random app I didn't want to use as a jump pad. I installed the smithsonian app and put it in place of the launcher. Now when I open the smithsonian app, it flips back to XBMC. Not efficient, but works better than digging through the settings.

You can re-map buttons in XBMC with an add-on called keymap editor available in the programs menu>program add-ons>get more>key_map editor.

You can also just hit "Select" on the FTV remote and that will bring up the OSD. Then you can just d-pad to the stop button when you want to exit a movie.

v13 gotham beta4 release just came out (ok 2 days ago, I wasn't paying attention I guess). all my complaints about weird undescribable video motion are gone!

and that is even with turning off mediacodec and only having libstagefright turned on! yay!!!

http://xbmc.org/xbmc-13-0-gotham-beta-4/

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/android/arm/

the beta4 announcement also said force update your repositories if you're having problems such as they're no longer staying up to date, or they're suddenly empty, etc.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on_manager#Force_refresh

they recommended this if you are coming from xbmc v12 (not spmc, it has its own separate file tree) or even if you are coming from earlier betas of v13.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] archa1c:
I also read that you can install SPMC and XBMC side-by-side due to the unique installation paths and libraries. I may try out the latest Gotham release, but I've been very happy with the performance of SPMC so far.

I really just need the ability to add a shortcut to the main menu, in either "Recent" or "Apps" etc for it to be convenient to access.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] tarvoke:
you got it, they won't step on each other because all the resources and binaries are separated into com.semperax.spmc and org.xmbc.xbmc. which is also a nice way to keep testing v12 vs v13 simultaneously...

although now that the motion-blur-weirdness-but-thats-not-exactly-it, is gone from gotham beta4, I am done with spmc (I could still never figure out why it broke so many buttons of the 360 controller, and I spent hours with keymap xmls and junk, ugh. whereas gotham always worked 100% fine. they both must have built-in keymaps you don't even see in their filetrees, or something)

yeah it doesn't bother me enough to reinstall nova launcher and mess with Llama.

but, recent, man that would be perfect. until now I was not a big fan of recent-type-behavior (sure, sometimes in the start menu in linux or windows, ok...) - but now with firetv it is awesome.

like, my watchlist menu is turning into some huge unholy mess. but the recent menu is serene and shows me exactly what I was doing: "why yes, sir, latest indications show that you were halfway through season 4 of sg1, and you were also using Plex around the same time".

of course they also jam those stupid semi-ads in the recent menu, so for that, screw 'em.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Nick0742:
Something you can try is using the app "llama" to start XBMC whenever a certain program is lauched. For me, I have XBMC start whenever I open the app "Tubi TV". I just chose an app on the store that had an icon I could remember and set it up.

Works very well for me.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] markgriffioen:
Would you be open to sharing exactly how you set this up?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] :
What I can't figure out is how to use the library plugins to index both movies and shows. I have my entire collection in a single folder. Right now I can only enable either one or the other in XBMC. Is there a way to do both at the same time? :confused:
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] archa1c:
Try just adding the same path a second time, except denote it as a different media type the second type.

Not sure if XBMC will reject that or not since you've already added it once as a different content type (TV, movies etc)
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] archa1c:
I just verified that you can add the same path twice.

The first time, select a "TV Shows" scraper to have it scan TV show content for your library.

The second time, select the 'Movies" scraper to scrape and add Movie content from that directory to your library.

You will likely have some issues with some shows importing to your movie library, and some movies importing to your tv shows due to common names between both (example- Transformers movies will probably get scanner by the TV scraper and add the Transformers tv show series to your TV library).

Aside from these unavoidable duplicate scraping issues, all of your content should load.

I recommend braking our your library into separate directories for "TV Shows" and "Movies".

An easy way to do this is to install Sickbeard to automatically scan and move your TV Shows to a new directory, leaving just movies in your current media directory.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] :
I actually tried that same tactic before and it didn't work (Frodo). I am going to install Gotham today anyway, will try again.

My setup is that I download via utorrent and when completed, the files are moved to a single folder storage drive mounted on my RT-N66U. XBMC then reads the files from there... :) I'll look into sickbeard, thanks!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] vogli:
Has anybody tried LiveTV with tvheadend? It does work for me, but I am only able to use the channel that is already tuned. As soon as I try to switch to a different channel then XBMC crashes. It works fine on my Android phone, therefore it must be something with it running on the FireTV.

Maybe a dumb question but how do i install .zip plugins downloaded from my computer?

NVM reading is my friend...
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] c0mm0n:
Am testing with TVH.

Opening a channel is ok, HD or SD (h264 1080i without deinterlace).

Zapping is an issue, no crash but video gets very choppy like 4fps sounds is ok. Stop and Play fixes the issue.

Is the XBMC Ouya still the best xbmc for fire tv atm ?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] fireTVnews.com:
No, the full 13.1 release for Android ARM from the main is best.

For laughs I sent Samsung customer support a request about unlocking the S4 like the htcdev.com site. This was their I think canned response. Looks like they recommend the Verizon dev edition.

"After reviewing your email, we understand that you would like to know the information on unlocking the boot loader of your Samsung Galaxy S5 phone.

We understand your requirement.

We would like to inform you that Samsung manufactures the devices according to carrier requirements/specifications and the devices will be locked to particular carrier network. As of now the option to unlock the bootloader on Samsung devices is unavailable. Unlocking the bootloader might damage the functionality of the phone. Moreover, it voids the warranty(one year from the date of purchase) of the phone.

However, Developer edition phones are available from Samsung wherein you can modify/develop any applications and the bootloader will be unlocked. As of now Samsung Galaxy S5 developer edition model(Verizon) is yet to release. Access the web-link below wherein you can view the specifications of the phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] i5lee8bit:
Honestly then they really should let us at leat have the option of unlocking boot loader a year after ownership. But still, their reasoning still leaves the debate open to, it's our device, we should have the choice to take the risk. Oh well at that point they'll just push the issue back onto AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 21cdb:
Wonder why they didn't say anything about the T-Mobile one. That bootloader is unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
That is basically being covered by carrier requirements. That AT&T requested it to be locked. The assumption being that T-Mobile didn't require it to be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] smknutson:
That's most likely incorrect, doesn't make sense that AT&T would allow the One M8 to be unlocked and provide source code for the kernel, while Samsung is locked down completely.

This is crazy that we cant do what we want with what we own. I would have bought the m8 but no removable battery and not waterproof. That was huge for me. This bootloader situation is terrible
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] n2nin:
The S3 and S4 originally came with locked bootloaders. Somebody will figure it out The S4 bypass was developed a month after it was released last year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
The note 3 never had an exploit for the bootloader. No safestrap doesn't count.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] djkinetic:
The bypass you're thinking of is Loki, and that exploit was patched and closed a long time ago by Samsung. The Note 3 as said does not have a true bootloader unlock or bypass, it does have root but that was gained by modifying system, which also has since been closed on Kit Kat....sorry to say its going to take some time, for ATT/VZW to get any dev of any sort if any at all, a new exploit is needed. If you really wanted needed dev for the phone and wanted a S5, buying the Tmo version outright would have been the best alternative.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RockRatt:
Just fyi The S3 did not come with a locked bootloader. I still have an S3 and never had to Loki it or anything. Normal plain root then recovery. Anything and everything can still be flashed (Roms/KERNELS/modems/themes.

The S4 came with locked bootloader but a bypass (Loki) was found soon after release for MDB and MDL firmwares. This allowed for flashing ANYTHING like AOKP/CM/Touchwiz based rom/KERNELS/ Modems.

After that the S4 was stuck locked up hard until safestrap worked.With Safestrap you can ONLY flash Touchwiz based Roms/Modems/and possibly themes/ but NO KERNELS OR AOKP/CM/GPE Based Roms. With each revision they locked it down further. The newest firmware is not really able to use safestrap without a workaround of flashing an older firmware without the bootloader, then safestrap it, then go back to the newest firmware. Safestrap is NOT near as versatile at flashing things as the Loki bypass as it was the ONLY real exploit found to bypass the bootloader. So in reality the "LOCKED" bootloader has NOT been able to be cracked yet.

All of this we all knew would make the ATT S5 bootloader locked down even harder and a exploit will probably never be found to completely change the locked bootloader and flash Roms/kernels/modems easily. IF a safestrap version or something similar does happen then only Touchwiz based Roms and modems (possibly themes) can be flashed. But NO AOKP/CM/GPE based Roms.

T-Mobile S5 will be able to do ALL NAD ANY flashing as normal since its bootloaders are NOT locked.

Hence the reason I bought a TMO outright and unlocked it for ATT, I dont think most users grasp how locked down the device on ATT and & VZW really are.

I would pay monies to the person who finds the exploit to root. I don't think we will get root without tripping Knox

Could you please let us know how's your SM-G900T performs on ATT networks? It picks up all LTE/3G bands properly to compare with original G900A? How's reception? I'm thinking about doing same thing that you did since TMO's one could be easily rooted...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] djkinetic:
same Reception as my ATT HTC One M8, i check reception via DB in status menu as signal bars are inaccurate many times...At my house I average about 105 DB on LTE with my M8, on the TMO S5 with ATT sim average 105 as well. So far I've picked up all LTE and HSPA+ bands on ATT properly just make sure your sim is activated on an ATT LTE device first and that you have the proper APN set.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Coming from away and moving here not that long ago I have always had international model phones so never spent any time on the LTE/varint side of XDA until now. I never had an LTE variant so didnt realize how locked down they were. I still have my S3 and Note2 international unlocked phones that work here without 4g and thats fine for me really but went for the att S5 since it was cheap. To be quite honest now understanding how things work with variants Im gutted. It will be the first and last variant I buy and Im going back to international models again. They come factory unlocked and bootloader unlocked and also dont have features taken out of them. Its a shame really. I find it pretty nasty that the carriers here have such an unfair gripe over the user and theres nothing that can be done about it.

Good luck - for what its worth it works fine with certain BT headsets like the Moto HS850. Just the reg key does it.

Only thing is you have to hit the button on the BT headset 2-3 times sometimes to get it to work but it works perfectly otherwise.

Would LOVE to have a fix that would let me use with all headsets.

How does the jetware stuff work? I heard it screws up some other things?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dfoody:
Cause of "works only once" problem discovered?

I've gone through 4 different headsets with my Wizard and I found at least one commonality to which ones suffered the "works only once" problem:

All of the ones that had this problem were BT 2.0 headsets. The ones that worked fine were all BT 1.x headsets.

I also verified that on my new TyTN (which natively support BT 2.0) the BT 2.0 headsets worked correctly (no "works only once").

Not that this is any consolation to anyone with a BT 2.0 headset and a Wizard, but might help those looking for a new headset.

Changed over to Tytn... works perfectly without any hacks :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bittermormon:
here's my FWIW answer:

After extensive reading here and at Hofo, I settled on a Plantronics 510. Installed Burlings app and it worked. I hold the button to turn on VC (it will also wake the device from standby if its sleeping, even if its locked) and say my command. It will reply through the headset speaker. After that all audio is oing through my BT headset. (If you have VC telling you who's calling and telling you your appointments thats pretty nice, but if the phone rings you might need some new underwear)

Another long push of the headset button return audio to teh MDA's speakers. If I need to use VC again, I start all over. It sounds more complicated thatn it is in reality.

Recognition is so-so. I don't really use it in my pickup (its hot so my windows are down most of the time), but its pretty good in my car. I have to repeat myself maybe 10% of the time, at most.

Not sure how well written that was, sorry. if anyone has any questions I'd be glad to answer them. I've been pretty pleased with the combo. Especially since I got the 510 for $40 from amazon.

I can get to the recovery menu without any problems, but when I close it, screen just turns black and nothing happens. If I try simulated batery pull it just boots up SONY logo from where I can get back to recovery menu. I also tried to get my phone to fastboot or flashmode but my PC doesn't regoionize it.

My E975 is rooted (not boot unlocked), I can download this update and the device restarts, then after a short time an error message comes up, the device restarts and loads as normal, then a message pops up that states root suspected, so cannot update

This appears to be a protective mechanism against rooting, so updates are only available for unrooted devices

Now, the solution seems simple, I unroot, update and then root again, however, I suspect it's not this simple

Can someone please advise if there is a workaround or would the simple option work?
