[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Okay,first off,download the files to your PC,not the Kindle. Connect the Kindle to your PC with USB debugging enabled. Then,open a command window and cd to the directory where you kept the files.

Now issue the following commands to backup partitions:

adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery
adb pull /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system

Note:If you get "permission denied" error,use the following command:

adb remount

If you still get the error,ensure that you have root.

Next,install the stack override:

adb push stack /sdcard/
adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/stack of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system bs=6519488 seek=1"

And flash the old bootloader with 2nd bootloader and Team Win Recovery: (use factory cable to boot into fastboot)

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot otter2-freedom-boot-10.4.6.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery otter2-twrp-2.6.3.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

OK,found something. Try this:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.IMG"
adb pull /Edvard/boot0block.IMG

Try this with other commands as well. And if it prompts SuperSU,say grant.

1. When calling, the white microphone icon size is too large, do not feel the coordination, hope can be smaller, so as to adapt to the S3 screen;

2. Desktop icon is locked on the fixed grid, cannot move freely£¬I'm not feeling very well.

3. Desktop icons cannot be hidden, all programs can only be placed on the desktop.
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
So with the FireTV becoming quite popular and everyone modding & customizing them left and right.

Curious to see what some of you guys have done in regards to Addons for Videos etc.. I've had a Apple TV before but kept the XBMC install quite basic and basically just used 1channel and sometimes IceFilms if I was encountering errors.

Over the last couple of weeks I've setup 2 FireTVs and gone a bit further into customizing it. I've loaded on the usual IceFilms,1channel, SportsDevil, NaviX, XBMC Addon Installer. Also, loaded up XBMC Tweaks for FTV that gives me keyMap3, sleep mode on XBMC, installed time changer to reflect the right time on XBMC as FTV is not officially out yet where I am. Also, using Xposed and rbox module to auto launch XBMC.

So, what are some other addons you guys recommend? Just looking for some unique ideas!
[Fire TV General] Sc0rp10:
In addition to the ones you mentioned I use mashup, xbmctorrent and p2pstreams.
[Fire TV General] to0:
Droidmote is my favorite thing that I've installed recently. For the rare times that I need a mouse to tick a checkbox or click a button, I can just use my phone as a touchpad.
[Fire TV General] LastQuark:
Dammit, I didn't know about this. I just bought a USB mouse to tick that checkbox.

Nice thread. Keep it going...
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
Yea thats a good one!

This FTV I keep hearing about, what exactly is it and what do you mean LIVE TV I wasn't aware of being able to get live tv on xbmc?

Pretty sure, you need a USB mouse for that very first checkbox.. because if you dont check it off no way to get the other APPS on there like droidmote :)
[Fire TV General] cmart4:
as in everything else xbmc stream related, the live tv aspect is only as good as your connection. I've watched live HBO and other premium channels and it works great on my ATT Uverse. Lotsa info here:

http://forum.xbmc.org/
[Fire TV General] krawhitham:
Do you have to be in the UK to get Live TV working

I select a channel, it says 50% done then nothing
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
Oh that's pretty wicked, Ill be sure to install this addon then and check it out. Is there country restrictions because I know if you go on ABC.com or CBS etc.. they won't show you content unless your in the USA.
[Fire TV General] cmart4:
you will dig it for sure.... check out xbmc's site as well for more Fire TV info
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
So I've installed FTV on the xbmc and not sure what the hype is but nothing seems to really work.

I've added FilmOn also, but does not appear to be compatible...
[Fire TV General] krawhitham:
Same here, none of the UK LIVE TV channels work

As far as I can tell 99% of the listed channels do not work
[Fire TV General] bobbym36:
I have to check that out. I found an old wireless mouse I plugged into my Fire TV for now. I want to get something similar to the Flymote I use for the MX2 android box.
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
So I loaded on FTV Guide and I'm quite impressed with this addons it actually has tons of channels and most of them work.. however.

I am seeing that some channels I click on I can only choose the 'Remind' option and it doesn't actually load the channel.

Whats up with this? Can anyone let me know? Anything like SkyMoviesHD, Sky Sports, TBS etc.. just don't seem to actually do anything
[Fire TV General] Dresden7:
I had the incompatible problem with almost EVERY addon when I recently did a fresh install of xbmc. I fixed it by doing a force refresh of the repository (use context menu on the enabled addon page and click refresh/update) . I waited about 10 mins, played some Quell and came back and then about 90% of the skins/addons are compatible now.

I tried mashup but most of the channels that loaded were SD and didn't work well. 1channel is great for movies/shows. Had almost everything I looked for it.

Anyone try Pluto.TV on the regular fire launcher? It is pretty awesome. It has about 50 channels of its own content. The guide looks very similar to something a cable company would put out and they have a good range of different genres
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
Pluto tv is on the actual amazon app store that works on the fireTV without root or anything else. Its a APP meant for it.

The App itself is alright, wish I could make the F.T.V Guide work with all channels I'd rather have that
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
F.T.V guide allows that, I figured that out last night.

However finding sources for the channels that actually work is a whole different story and I am unsure if that's even possible because most of the good stuff is all pay based.

Not sure where the poster went that mentioned the F.T.V guide originally on here
[Fire TV General] cameraguy23:
How do you make the screen bigger?
[Fire TV General] gkatz01:
I've kept mine pretty simple and mainly stuck with apps and not add-ons.

- XBMC as the launcher

- Netflix

- KFTV

- Some K-Drama apps for the wife

- NZB unity to manage sickbeard etc

- all the bits and pieces to keep it running smoothly

I never have much luck finding enough consistent quality with the "unofficial" streaming apps/add-ons. Might be looking in the wrong place.
[Fire TV General] Dresden7:
Press the menu button to the right of the home button
[Fire TV General] Dresden7:
I have had some good look with 1channel
[Fire TV General] cameraguy23:
Thank you, perfect.
[Fire TV General] LastQuark:
What K-Drama apps have you loaded? Wifey likey too...
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
1channel is good for TV Shows, rarely have issues and if I do its usually just the source I use.. picking another source it usually works. Quality is excellent too.

Mashup is a pretty good one, used it a coule of times over the weekend and watched movies from the "Featured Movies" list.. love the look and the fact it has a synopsis area and you can choose to view the trailer easily for the picked movie. The movie quality was great too one was DVD the other was a CAM but very watchable. Minor buffering issues but thats due to my internet being absolute $hit.
[Fire TV General] ugabuga:
Any channels besides Icefilms for hd content for tv shows? Most seem to be nonhd
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
Well.. honestly I think it depends on the show itself.. Some are in HD content from those two sources (1channel & iceFilms) others are not.

You can always load the xbmctorrent add-on and then pick the torrent you want to stream and the quality of it? This would ensure they are HD quality as long as you search for the HD torrent file.

And what about http://sickbeard.com?
[Fire TV General] gkatz01:
There is one called Viki and one called Dramafever. Both have Google TV apps, so work well with the remote.

Also thanks for the add-on tips to everyone else who replied.
[Fire TV General] mastafunk:
GENESIS is the update for GOTV/GOMOVIES.... Includes ororo/icefilms and other sources. HD and SD.
[Fire TV General] aerick79:
How is xbmctorrent on the FTV? I heard it causes system issues, where it would locked up and crash XBMC. I'm assuming that you have to use ext Hard drive was well?

[Fire TV General] bitpushr:
I've been using Windows Media Center + Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650 + Cablecard to work as my home DVR for a number of years and had been looking for a good front end (besides Xbox + Windows Media Center Extender, which Microsoft seems to be abandoning). Just got a FireTV and once I added XBMC and installed the proper server/plugins I can view live TV, set DVR, watch DVR shows, etc right from the FireTV. It's a great frontend - very small footprint, and of course the $99 one time cost beats $12/month (at least) for a DVR box rental.

The thing really holding it back right now is that root on the FireTV is difficult, so you have to launch the app through the App Settings menu, which is a pain. XBMC isn't perfect on it but it is pretty darn good.
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
Difficult? To root this device it literally takes the click of a button and then just opening up 2 programs under Program Manager.

If people are not sure on how to use push/pull commands they can just use the adbFire utility that does the work right for you and its a GUI based interface. I can root the FireTV in probably 20seconds..
[Fire TV General] bitpushr:
Yeah but as I understand the last root doesn't work under the latest update of firmware.
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
That is true.

However I bought 5 amazon TV's over the the last month, 2 over ebay (Im in Canada..) and three while over in the states for vacation.

All had the very first fw on them, allowed me to update to the latest rootable fw and then root the device and disable updates.

Lots of time and no rush, it almost even appeared as if once it got to the latest rootable update it never tried pulling down the other non-rootable fw.

I am trying to run Droidmote server on my fire tv but I get a no license error.

I therefore backed the apk up on my phone and sideloaded it to the fire tv.

Can anyone tell me how to get past or resolve the license error?
[Fire TV General] collindv:
I think you need to install the play store. It's fairly easy to do.
[Fire TV General] Sc0rp10:
You have to have the playstore on your firetv and you should install it directly from there.
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
What are you looking for?

the Addon Installer itself has quite a few repors/sources/addons that are deff worth checking out.
[Fire TV General] cameraguy23:
Google play

What's the advantage of putting google play on the fire tv?
[Fire TV General] nyder:
First you can run the paid versions of any apps you purchased on the Play store and second you have access to a larger source of apps that may or may not run on your AFTV.
[Fire TV General] EvoTillIdIE:
Nvm i got the new fusion repo so its good now. Only thing i would like recommendations on is a good tv addon the just has basic channels but hd quality i have great internet speeds to support anything.

Also i read someone was saying something about performance tweaks for xbmc on AFT what are these tweaks.
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:
The XBMC Tweaks for FTV are basically, different keymaps for the Amazon TV remote. Makes things a bit more easier to control. I use keymap3.

Also, there is a splash screen option that alters the actual splash screen as the fire tv is loading :)
[Fire TV General] rotor00ter:
Anyone have a recommendation for a good add-on for The Food Network and for MMA events?
[Fire TV General] DHeffernan:

Does that FightCasts do UFC Fightpass? If not, do you know of any way to get Fightpass working on the AFTV? Been having trouble with it.

Fightcasts is incompatible with Gotham.
[Fire TV General] EvoTillIdIE:
How do i edit or install the keymap and do the splash screen. I have the AFT sideload app for windows. And it has these options but it doesnt work. Do i have to put a certain file in a directory that coincides with the sideload app?

Description:

This module fixes flashlight of Samsung GALAXY Ace Plus custom ROMs to be able to use any Camera or flashlight app from play store.

If you have a device with the same issue, contact me to see if I can support/fix your device as well.

Google play link:

Flashlight Fixer (Xposed)

Xposed repo link:

Flashlight Fixer
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bassel Bakr:
Change log:

Version 1.4:

Applying settings doesn't require rebooting/closing apps.

Added options to enable/disable:

Flash light alternative toggling method

Removing flash mode from camera parameters.

Hooking flash modes, auto/no focus.

Version 1.3:

Support for more devices.

Flash device, supported modes and delays are changeable now, be sure to force close your camera/flashlight app after each change to take effect.

Version 1.2:

Improved auto flash.

Compatible with more ROMs like Pure GALAXY.

Version 1.1:

Optimized auto flash.

Version 1.0:

Initial release.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kk9999gada:
Awesome!!! It works....

When using auto mode in Camera flash the flash light should get on when focusing but it doesn't. Instead the flashlight starts after the focus is completed due to which the photo gets way too overexposed. Hope it will get fixed in near updates.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Androidoo:
awesome man testing it wwill feedback
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bassel Bakr:
Did you tick/enable the module in modules tab after successfully installing the framework?

Did you get any error messages?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bassel Bakr:
Thanks for your feedback, the focus control mechanism seems to be written in native code which can't be altered using Xposed, so I just increased the time between turning the flash on and taking the picture to avoid overexposure. :)

Also added the module to play store (it takes about 2 hours for changes to take effect on the store, just in case you didn't find v1.1 there) :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] kk9999gada:
Now the exposure seems to be alright. Thanks for this module.

ya i did activated and reboot.. n also when i open camera it asks for priviliges(root) and it says root has been granted but no flash..i guess only with me
