Wonder how it would work with 3-4 FireTV devices on the network.. How does it name them..
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfurgerson:
I don't know, it is free app how about trying it and finding out for us?

I should give credit to whomever posted the link to this app but it's late and I am feeling lazy.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Interesting app... You just have to know your FTV's IP to tell them apart. The app needs more complete translation of it. Odd how it installs itself on the FTV.. But easy... The go back button doesn't seem to work on most instances. Just ended hitting home. Since I do have root on my FTV's.. It did kept asking me to grant it SuperSU status.. Not sure why.. I Denied it... Probably will still go with the Nyko Game Pad Pro but this is a good backup.. But I don't trust it just yet... Uninstalled it for now...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wyldsong:
Alright, as far as I can tell, it is impossible to root the fire tv stick as of yet. Hopefully someone comes up with a way. I'll just drop some instructions from the beginning and add a few resources for people starting fresh. I uploaded the settings.apk I used, so be sure to grab that from this post. Before I get too far into this, everything I have done is with a stock Fire TV stick and Nyko gamepad controller straight out of the box, and anything done to the fire stick is listed below.

On the fire tv stick, make sure under settings that the adb debugging and allowing outside apps are enabled. As for getting the settings.apk to the stick itself, just follow the instructions found here: sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-windows/

(Being a new user, I cannot link that, so I apologize for the inconvenience)

Once that is loaded, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Installed Applications. Find the settings app, launch it, and go to the bluetooth menu option. Click it, and up at the top right hand corner, you will see an option that will allow you to search for bluetooth devices. Make sure that the nyko remote is charged, turned on, and set in the gamepad function before clicking that option. Once you have the gamepad set up, click the option to search for bluetooth devices, it may take a minute. Once it picks it up, enable it in the menu, and you should be good to go.

I did not change any functions on the controller itself. This is the stock Nyko gamepad controller straight out of the box. You will be able to switch it back and forth between the controller and mouse functions, and both work. The only thing I have found is that when entering user names and passwords on apps, keep the stick remote next to you, as it is generally easier to use that to enter the names/passwords/etc. I have successfully navigated and watched stuff from the DirecTv, Funimation (though this app is still a little funky to navigate, it works), and Xfinity sideloaded apps.

As far as games, my kids are playing Sonic 2 with the controller currently, and there are no issues with it. It works great. Just remember to turn it on and off when using it and not using it, since it has a chargeable battery.

Sorry Y314K, I am sure that this is far more more information that you originally wanted/needed, but I figured I better start from the beginning, so newbies reading this will have all the tools they need to make it work.

Hope this helps!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Perfect... I am all about the info... Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. One more ? Do you actually get the mouse circle with the orange ring when on mouse mode or is it more like a left to right up & down type of navigation ? And all the buttons that do work are the same right.. They just work to select things. You still need the FireTV remote to go back like with a regular mouse ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wyldsong:
You get the mouse circle with the orange ring. It just works to select things and you do so by pushing straight down on the analog stick you use to move it, so you will still need the remote to go back and so on or switch the controller to the gamepad function (more on that below), though the home button will still take you home. If you have it set to the gamepad function, the controller will emulate many of the functions of the normal remote (use the arrows and buttons), but the gamepad function will work about as well as the normal remote on the apps that need a mouse/touch screen function to work properly. So really, you can just use the controller instead of the remote, you just need to switch it back and forth between gamepad and mouse functions. Using the controller on gamepad function, I was able to search the normal menus, navigate and use netflix, and go back to previous screens. Again, this was the stock controller without any changes.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Honestly I've tried just about everything I could app wise & I'm having the same issue, not just for Xfinity Go but other apps as well. I think the only real solution hardware wise is the use of a mouse or mousepad but since I'm using the FTVS my options are limited.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROADKING17:
Installed wukong remote now I have a mouse cursor works flawless
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Thanks, I missed it in an earlier post. Not the best but it gets the job done.

They should really think about getting the scroll & mousepad function onto one screen but nonetheless it's the best app option I've found.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Yeah.. That could be to hard for some non techies.. Specially without some of the translations... Did not like it keep bugging me for SuperSU access on my rooted FireTV. But I guess it's for some of extra options. Also I still don't understand why the back button did not work for me on the app.

Wukong works as a app solution. It also has a QUICK JUMP APP function. Pretty cool, it list all the apps installed on the FIRE TV so you can jump to different apps without having to use the Fire TV Remote and go into settings applications to launch.

Can this work on the FireTV box without the settings.apk file?

: I figured it out. I went ahead and got the Nyko Playpad pro at Gamestop for $12.99 and it paired with my rooted firetv without any issue
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sga999:
I can't figure out how to do a long-press with the Wukong app. I choose "mouse module" first and position the cursor where I want it. Then I choose "gestures module", and I just hold my finger down. It seems to show the correct gesture underneath my finger, but it does not behave as it should. I see 6 choices for gestures, and it looks like this long-press is one of them (top right), but I must be missing something. Can anyone tell me how to do long-press in Wukong? I think this app is serving my purposes pretty well otherwise.

I used this bluetooth keyboard to enter my username and password and navigate around on HBOGo and Xfinity TV-Go.

Link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BALK9CM/ref=cfb_at_prodpg

If the link does not work search for ' QQ-Tech® Newest Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard ' at Amazon.

I had to side load ' Settings.apk ' to pair it.

Caps Lock, Shift and most if not all of the keyboard keys work. Up/Down/Left/Right keys, mouse pad works along with the Left and Right Click keys. Escape key works to go back. Play/Pause key also works.

I have to know how u got past the login screen on the directv app. hitting enter after puting in my credentials only brings up registration screen for me, and onscreen amazon keyboard wont go away so i can select login with mouse ....>_<
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wyldsong:

Unfortunately, I cannot proclaim to be any smarter on this issue beyond what I have already posted in dealing with apps and making them work on the fire stick. All I can think of to tell you is try and use the fire remote to hit the back button and to enter in the login credentials, and using the mouse to make your actual menu selections. When I start the app on mine, it takes me straight to the login, I use the mouse to select the username, the keyboard comes up, and I use the fire remote to enter in the credentials, once done, I do the same for the password. Occasionally it will go to a black screen after entering the information, which then I just hit the back button on the fire remote, which brings me to the dtv video menu.

You could always try uninstalling and reinstalling or clearing the cache.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wyldsong:
I wish I had something for you, but all I can think to tell you is to recheck the process carefully and try again. If it isn't showing up in the app manager, it sounds like you either didn't use the correct commands in ADB, or the firestick wasn't turned on or something. If you follow the process in the links I laid out to the letter, it should install easily.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Try powering off and on the FireTV Stick & check the App manager. If it's still not there. Then use the AFTV Utility to install sideload it. Make sure you are using the Settings.apk that folks have verify works on the FireTV Stick.

Some success but...

I managed to install Showbox, Pop Corn time and Kodi last night and all worked as expected on the forums. But I have a few questions about what to do next :

1. Will any bluetooth mouse work? All the forums talk only about the Nyko Playpay.

2. I only have an old nexus android device and Wukong doesn’t work on that. Are there any other apps (ideally an ios one?)

3. The showbox plugin for Kodi looks dodgy – is it genuine? It has a different navigation – a search facility that is loaded with porn. Also, when you select to play something you need to select a server which I am not a fan of (many don’t work). Do other people have this experience?

This is quite simple. You only need a bluetooth mouse to use it. But the important thing is that the application you downloaded has been updated to the latest? The latest version has this support.

[HTC One S] Jesz Jeżyk:
HI there.

I'm really looking forward that someone may be able to unbrick my phone or at least navigate me how to turn back bootloader, using command-line, as this would solve the whole problem.(unauthorized device + Bootloop + hardpressed volume UP button, occuring problems on the other one as well) :crying::crying:

Device, OS, Settings status: HTC VILLE (S4), Fully rooted, CM11s stable, S-OFF, SU, CID 1111111 , TWRP 2.8.1.0 hboot 2.16, ADB: xxxxxxxxxxx unauthorized device :highfive:

Actual status: After i recovered clean copy of my CM11 from TWRP (was trying some custom roms, which i didn't fully met my expectations), i decided for the first time to use Titanium Backup Pro and restore all user and system apps, settings and data which i perfomred earlier, what found out not to be the smartest move. Either way, after approx 24h my phone went down, restarted itself, unfortunatelly only as far as Bootloop :confused::p

Everything would be just fine if i could just get back into bootloader. Additional problem i mentioned before is my volume button. It works but not 100%, after my phone felt down on it and vol up is hard pressed and sometimes it jams. This leads us to another (minor? :crying:) problem that appeared during normal use of device. Namely due to this hardpressed VOL UP button sometimes i couldn't even turn off the screen with power button (which is perefecly working if )

Concluding i`ve stuck on Bootloop. Whenever trying to turn on the bootloader with multiple combinations of pressing vol + power button, phone just restarts again. (i did that many times before without any problems) . However i'm able to turn it off sometimes

My main problem for now is with unauthorized device under ADB so i can`t neither start recovery nor bootloader using command-prompt line.

Is there any chance to bypass this unauthorized status in ADB? or should i look after new handset ? :) Hope that someone will be able to help . I'm willing to give away my endless gratitude full support and even reasonable amount of gold stash :o

XDA masters, HTC ONE S lovers and supproters, Anyone capable PLEASE HELP
[HTC One S] Jesz Jeżyk:
It turned out everything was fine, I was unable to start bootloader because of hardware malfunction, and being more specific, hard-pressed Vol Up Button was sending signals and because of that The combination of Vol Down Button + Power brought no results. Once I lifted gently Vol Up Button with thin sharp tool, i was able to start bootloader :) Hope, this information will save some stress in the future. I wasn't fully aware of, thinking that if Vol Down Button was perfectly fine bit hardpressed Vol UP button shouldn't occur malfunctioning of the other button :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] ReallyGoodPie:
I just purchased a galaxy s5 and purchased an SD card with it. I've attempted to move a few apps to the SD card but majority of the app is still on the device storage. For large apps, it can be 300+MB on the device storage and then 30MB on the SD.

I haven't had a phone where I could add an SD card for a whole now (been using galaxy nexus for the past few years) but my I remember my old android phone moving allot more to SD. It used to be the opposite (a small amount on device storage and majority on SD).

This isn't just with one app either. It's over a few of them (Worms 3, Terraria and Card Wars just to name a few)
