[Fire TV Themes and Apps] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Thx for your reply.

I thought a while, where should I post my question about this strange bug.

When I google "kodi autostart", I got man results. So it seems that I has something todo with the autostart.

The secend thing is the fact, when I disable your mods and start kodi by myself or with an app like "autostart and stay", the mute button is not per default enabled.

But your module is allmost compatible to a FireTV Stick with this FW.

-Disable add and menu's (HideAmazonMenuItems & HideLauncherAds)

-Autostart kodi (with mute default enabled) (AlternateLauncher, also home-button detection)

-RecentsOnMenuLong: Bring up the recents dialog when long pressing the home button.

-KeyBindings -> I will check next time.

I will follow you tipp with try to creating the key_bindings file. But I dont understand how this should fix my problem.

I read that a controller can cause this problem and the fix is to disable the option in kodi (input types -> controller joystick support). But the elmerohueso kodi 15.2 has no option like this. Perhaps I can add this to the guisettings.xml but I know what is name of that options-line. Also I had no controller connected but the standard amazon remote controll (without voice).

When I autostart with your mod, in the guisettings.xml the mute option is true.

I can not say when this is added.

What I will do, when I am next time at this point, where this sticks run, I will check :

-KeyBindings -> check your hint

-Disable wlan and start kodi with your autostart module, to see if a remote controll check the mute option

-I will make debug-log, to see if there is something I can read about a trigger for mute

My current workarround with the app "autostart and stay" is not really good.

Pressing home button brings back to launcher and it needs some minutes after booting to start kodi.

@rbox

If you are interested to give FireTV stick support too, we can find out what went wrong and check this or what is the different between this versions box=VS=stick os.

Perhaps this a kodi bug, but I really seems that it is only a kodi bug, when kodi is autostarted.

Any chance the launcher module can be updated for Fire OS 5, if at all possible?

Or can it not be used with the latest root yet (FireTV 2)?

Thanks!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] rbox:
There is no recovery for the Fire TV 2 yet, the module requires xposed, and xposed requires recovery.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sirxdroid:
[MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] - I think it's worth posting a link to the correct Xposed version to install in the first post. Thanks.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
I create a key_bindings.xml push it to sdcard, it has the following content:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<string name="KEYCODE_HOME_LONG"></string>
</map>

Only short success. After restart, kodi was still muted, then the mute changed to not-muted. After a while mute was back. Then after restart mute-bug was back.

I really miss your xposed modules on the fire tv stick :(

What i've done else:

-Disable wlan and start kodi with your autostart module, to see if a remote controll check the mute option

No success.

-I will make debug-log, to see if there is something I can read about a trigger for mute

Here are 3 logs. With your xposed modules enabled (v1.4):

Log1

Log2

Log3

The Fire TV Stick has no custom recovery too :/ ?

My current workarround with the app "autostart and stay" is not really good.

Pressing home button brings back to launcher and it needs some minutes after booting to start kodi. Also I set it to persitent mode, but with that mode it is not possible to use app's with other content like youtube or netflix.

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] rbox:
Maybe you should talk to the Kodi people.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Okay, I will do this.

But what about my other question:

The Fire TV Stick has no custom recovery too :/

Did you really mean that xposed needs a custom recovery or did you just mean a recovery?

Sorry I really dont want to disturb you so much. I just love your modules! THX for your work.

ByTheWay: All other fesatures of your modules works very good! When I found a solution, I will report.

EDIT:

Start a post at kodi board.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] rbox:
Installing xposed is extremely dangerous and can lead to bricking your device. Properly installing it requires recovery. I suppose if you have hardware access to the MMC via the hardware root method, then it's less dangerous. Either way, I stand by the fact that xposed requires recovery.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Can you or anybody tell if it run with a KingRoot Fire OS 5 FireTV box gen1?

Greetings by Idijt
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] rbox:
So this module is pretty busted in FireOS5. Not to mention the fact that you really should only be installing Xposed with recovery, which I haven't released for KingRoot rooted boxes yet. Once I get recovery for firetv1 done, I'm moving on to Fire Stick. Then once that is all done, I will revisit this module.

Rbox, any was to install Xposed for the AFTV 2 as we now have a custom recovery? I tried sideloading and flashing xposed it but it won't work on the new 5.0. It won't install the framework as it says it's not compatible with my processor. Seems to be now way to get your mods on the FTV2?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] deanr1977:
It does work on 5.0.5, follow the guide here & don't forget to press the thanks button If this helps

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] loughrey101:
Thanks very much, your xposed worked perfectly! Exposed works perfectly using your exposed and I can get at least one of Rbox's mods working using it, which is the alternative launcher mod and the removal of the ad banner, but the 'hide Amazon menu items' does not work. It appears in the settings but when you try to make the items invisible and reboot they persist, though I presume that's what Rbox was referring to when he said the OS5 has busted this module. Hopefully he will revisit this soon with an update fix. But thanks again for your great work, I wouldn't be able to get the others parts of the mod to work without your work, so much appreciated!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] loughrey101:
Hey Rbox, anyway you'd have time to update this to be compatible with the new Amazon Fire TV updates? Under the new updates the 'Hide Amazon Menu Items' won't work. Thanks!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] rbox:
Yes. I'm aware it doesn't fully work with FireOS5. My priorities right now are getting all the FireTV devices recoveries released. And then I will take a look at this mod.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] schneid:
Seems to be working for me. I had to switch to new Xposed scheme consisting a new installer APK and Zip that is flashed. I used Arm sdk 22.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] mrchrister:
i just flashed sdk22 to firetv 1 and xposed seems to work. since firestarter doesnt work well and i want to get rid of the amazon home alltogether I will use xbmc launcher now
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] mezdev:
I installed as you have a few days ago, are there any other launchers you would recommend or is xmbc launcher the only one you have tried?thanks
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] mrchrister:
only one i tried and seems to work well! another easy way is to get spmc launcher edition, then you don't need an extra launcher

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] idocinthebox:
Since The recovery and rooted FireOS5 can be installed on AFTV1 can we safely install xposed?? Has anyone made a guide??
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] WheelchairArtist:
I don't want to disappoint some of you but i don't know if i continue to work on this module.

I'm just some non experienced once in a year hobby developer who doesn't know anything about java.

This is also my first time working on a xposed module.

Sadly this whole try and error thing drives me nuts: Try to get some method to hook. Hook in, recompile, reinstall, reboot, nothing works, check logs, nothing there, and so on.

i have some hard time to read the decompiled amazon packages, although i use an ide for it, and not getting any errors nor logs i put in the module doesn't make things easier for me. It took me almost a week to remove the Banner Ad. Now i have vacation and it's summer here, not hard to guess what I'm gonna do...

Things i wanted to bring in the module:

-Fix everything

-Useful stuff from HDXPosed

-Remove Controller Warning again

-Remove FSK18 Pin

-maybe fix system apps not launchable from app menu

Things i have done so far:

-Brought stuff from HDXPosed in

-Partially fixed HideLauncherAds (banner doesn't get shown but item remains)

BTW: The main point for me to start working on this is to support rbox and introduce some changes in my fork i wanted so see for myself, since everyone just sits there and wait for rbox to fix this.

I just used rbox's Xposed FireTV mods to get Firestopper working again on 5.2.1.0_r1. IMHO, it's an under-rated use of this xposed module, as I searched the thread and didn't find any post about it.

You don't need a 'launcher' app when you can set any app to launch with the home key (or any key) in key_codes.xml!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] diaahussein:
you can follow the same steps but when you flash from recovery flash the ARM not the ARM 64

it can be downloaded from the official source here

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] adam_ky:
OK, I got it all working. I have a few questions I can't seem to find though.

I looked at the site for the key map.. But I can't get how to set a double press.

Say I wanted to make double press home open something, what would the string be?

My main reason for using this was so that I could use firestarter and mouse toggle for fire tv. Both of these use the adb and you can't really use both at the same time unless you do a certain sequence with adb each restart. It was annoying. Now I have all the home and adb options turned off in firestarter. Have the home key mapped to fire starter.. This works great because now only the mouse toggle uses the adb.. So no conflicts.

Here is my next question. I'd like to get rid of mouse toggle all together and use the key_mapper.XML to accomplish what it does.

To do this it would require double press play to bring up the built in fire TV mouse with remote control ability. Certain fire TV menus allow you to bring up pointer and control it with mouse.. So I know its there somewhere. Anyways, how would this be done? Would be so great to free up the adb completely.

That's all for my questions about the kwymapper.

Here is an issue I have noticed. Its with sleep. If I put the fire TV to sleep.. Upon wakeup it goes directly to the amazon stock home screen. Is this normal? I'd like it to not do this if possible if I can change something.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] dr.zapp:
After following this guide (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-remove-the-banner-ad-on-the-fire-tv-home-screen/), my AFTV4k screen looks the same- banner ad at the top, and can’t hide any of the side menus. Xposed shows I have RboxFireTvMods 1.4 active in modules, and says "xposed framework version 86 is active" with a big green check mark. I am using the sloane prerooted 5.2.1.1r1 ROM, no other modules installed. Why do I still see ads?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] schneid:
You also need HDXPosed-1.3.apk
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] dr.zapp:
I think I did, because when I tried installing it again it asks if I want to update the existing app. So I did again and still have ads...
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Sizzlechest:
This only works with OS3. It hasn't hid ads since then.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] lightykd:
Any chance we can get a MOGA mod so that we can select certain games on our Fire TV to treat all controllers as a MOGA? The OUYA used to have a similar mod made by Wonder Lee, the AFTV2 could really use one :)
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] gwinni:
On Firetv2 with OS 5.2.1.1 installed the mod an firestarter or appstarter the fire tv home button in the app menu is missing. How can i bring this button back or how to get in the fire tv home?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] santamanga:
I have an AFTV1 running 5.2.1.1 with exposed framework running and HDXPosed 1.3 and RBoxFire TVMods 1.4 enabled. I also created key_bindings.xml in /sdcard/ -

but pressing the home key still takes me back to the startpage and key bindings are ignored. Is that still working for anyone?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] geist_patrick:
Is there any chance you can explain it step by step? I already tried to install the module but after installing, enabling and restarting the device it stuck at the animated Amazon logo. With the exposed installation is everything OK because I'd already installed some modules but this one is really harsh.

My plan is to replace the Amazon launcher with the xbmc launcher.

Maybe someone has an idea what's wrong.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] xenyz:
Did you install Firestopper or another launcher first? The Xposed module disables the stock Amazon launcher so that is likely the issue. Go in through ADB and disable Xposed on next boot to sort it out

touch /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] C-Rooted:
I'm having trouble with xposed on the latest update. Anyone else having this issue? Will Rboxs mods still work with the new ui?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] C-Rooted:
Update. xposed installed fine. The problem was the result of using an out of date apk. That is fixed.

I am still having trouble with RBox's mods. Has anyone else had any success?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also RBox is the The Man. Thanks again for all you have done over the past year.

I don't imagine any part of it works still. I'll have to redo it all probably.

[MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION]

First of thank you for all of the hard work you do for all of us. We really appreciate it. I was hoping you could answer a quick question for me as I am having a hard time getting xposed/rbox firetv mods up and running.

I have a gen 1 fire tv box...I just went through the steps to get it off of a very old os3 version and up to date with TRWP and PreRooted Rom 5.2.4.1

I read a lot about this and I think I'm doing everything right but I am still stuck.

So I flashed via the install in trwp recovery SDK 22 ARM 87 of xposed....I then side loaded via adb the xposed. installer apk. Now when I launch exposed it looks different then what I am used to.....at the very top there is a big green checkmark and it says "Xposed Framework version 87 is active". Under that there is Install/Update with "version 87 below it" and a cloud Icon next to it.

When I click that cloud icon it says in red " error could not find xposed sdk22 87.zip"

I tried to side load your rbox mods apk....and it is IT listed under modules...however when click the check box next to it...nothing happens. Looking into the logs it says

There is a lot of sections saying things like

"Caused by java.lang.classnotfoundexception: com.amazon.t.launcher.ui.list.adapter

At external.org.apache.commons.lang3.classutil.getglass

Class not found using the boot class loader;no stack available.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, I would love some help...please I have everything setup I just need KODI back as my default launcher and I am set!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Don't click on the cloud icon. You are already on the latest XPosed. Until this module is updated to work on the latest PreRooted ROM. Your only FTV1 solution is to downgrade to v5.0.5r2. This is only an option for those that upgraded from a Rooted FireOS 3 or those that rooted on FireOS v5.0.5 or older. It is not a good idea to downgrade below the ROM version you Rooted on. That might trigger an eFuse. Killing your device.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Dxfan227:
Do I just push the older version zip and then instal via trwP?

Or is there a guide on how to downgrade properly?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
You just flash it the same way as if you where upgrading. Just make sure you use the v5.0.5r2 ROM. RBox created that ROM (r2) to include the latest TWRP version-7. So no TWRP downgrading is required. All you do is flash that one PreRooted ROM.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Dxfan227:
Can I ask why this guide has no mention of trwp and is a lot of commands......aftvnews.com/how-to-manually-upgrade-or-downgrade-the-amazon-fire-tv/
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-manually-upgrade-or-downgrade-the-amazon-fire-tv/

That guide is from 2014 & is for the first rooted devices. A lot has change since then. Like Root Methods, eFuses, CWM, TWRP, FireOS 5, etc. Everything in that guide has been obsolete since 10/10/2014. It only applied to Rooted devices for a very short time.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Dxfan227:
Ok awesome...so if I reflash with older firmware...the rbox mods should work. Do I need to reinstall all my apps etc?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
As long as you don't wipe more then Dalvik cache & cache. You should keep your setup mostly intact. You might have to reinstall the XPosed Framework (Not the app but Framework). Since that is installed to the System. And any flashing of a ROM will change the System. Just use TWRP to reinstall the XPosed Framework if needed.
