[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerflash:
Wondering if anyone else is experimenting with this...

I have a fire tv stick and i downloaded some apps that are exclusive to that platform. I did an ADB pull from the fire tv system and installed them on my Nexus Player.

Including the Slingplayer app and some other video apps.

Most of the apps start just fine but fail when trying to start the video. Has me thinking there is some kind of framework that the fire tv has that renders these apps useless on other android devices.

Also may have to do with the fact that it is an Intel chip inside of the Nexus player and Apps coded to work solely on the fire tv devices wont work right since they are coded from snapdragon chips

Anyone know of a way to circumvent these blocks? Any info would be helpful
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
I've actually been wanting to experiment with this but I don't have a FireTV stick.

I did try to pull some video apps (i.e.-History, A&E, Amazon Instant Video) from my phone. They all installed correctly but, like your issue, they crashed. Makes me think its a library thing or certain missing files as most of those apps work on Lollirock.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerflash:
Hmm interesting. I don't really want to use lollirock because I really like the UI currently. I can post the Amazon apps here atleast the free ones to see what's different about them.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
I agree with you. I actually like the ability to navigate with the remote only. The one app I wish we could find a way to make work in our factory rom is Amazon Instant. It's definitely possible because it works in lollirock.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redth:
Sorry folks, but Nexus Player is an intel atom x86 based architecture while the FireTV (and Stick) are ARM based. That means unless the .apk's ship the correct bits for both architectures, you're not going to get the Fire TV apps running on Nexus Player (for example in the case of Sling Player, there are libraries specific to ARM that are included in the .apk on the Fire TV store, but they don't include the x86 version).

I'd love this to work, but in most cases I highly doubt it will.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
Redth, although x86 can be a limiting factor, you have to keep in mind that we have "houdini" translator code built into our Nexus Player. Think of houdini as an arm translator to let us run most arm apps on our device. That is why we can successfully sideload so many apps (minus the fact we have to use a keyboard & mouse to operate it). For instance, I have successfully gotten new recently released apps like the Sling TV apk to work that was originally designed for the FireTV. I also have apps like WatchESPN, & USA Network working successfully.

Also, you have to keep in mind that Amazon instant Video is also working on Lollirock, so it definitely is possible & functioning on our device. It just looks like we are missing certain libraries.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redth:
[MENTION=943728]xaudiblex[/MENTION] then perhaps the limiting factor is the required libs that the arm built executable uses. I don't remember the exact libs from the FireTV Slingplayer apk, but there were what looked like some .so files built with c/c++ that were linked in and accessed over JNI. I'm guessing the translator can't handle those, and that may be why Slingplayer in particular doesn't work.

It's a shame, I'd love to get slingplayer working!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
Unfortunately, I had to uninstall Lollirock. If I ever get a chance, I want to check out the differences in the files between stock rom & lollirock. Maybe if we can determine what extra libraries exist that allow those extra apps to work on Lollirock, maybe can transplant those files onto our nexus player.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matb321:
Where can I find the sling TV .apk from the Fire Tv? I been trying to find it via Google with no luck and I cannot get from the Amazon store because none of my devices are compatible. Thanks!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
http://webapp.movetv.com/player/firetv/sling.apk

Works great on our nexus player too.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matb321:
Great! Thank you so much! I hope it is better than the generic Android.apk I have side loaded!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
It definitely does. That is the official APK from their website. The remote actually works on it too! If you know how to decompile apks, you can add leanback code to it as well.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whyteboyello:
Did you ever get the Fire TV Slingplayer app to work? If not does it load and just crash when you try to do something? That is seriously the only thing I need for the Nexus Player for it to be perfect. I have the tablet Slingplayer app but without a mouse it is pretty much good for turning on and turning off not able to change channels with it.

For me at least, the Amazon Fire Sling TV app has worked perfectly. I had it crash on me once several days back but that was it. I have been watching it all day today without any hiccups. The quality of the video has generally been solid.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
I pulled the APK from my FireTV & installed it on the Nexus Player (also tried watch ESPN since it works with remotes). The app starts up fine but it crashes anytime you try to play a video.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerflash:
That's the problem with most amazon fire only video apps. There is something in the code that causes them to crash or just simply fail to play video when used on anything else. Atleast the sling.tv app works fine
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
I tried to compare the Fire TV APK & Google Play APK of WatchESPN (as an example) to see if there is much difference. The structure of the files are substantially different.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whyteboyello:
Do you happen to have the apk that works for you?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
After the addition of the new channels (History, H2, & etc), the FireTV apk I was using from Amazon kept on crashing. I ended up downloading the apk (downloaded from Google Play store) from my phone & sideloaded it to my Nexus Player. Remote works perfectly fine with it.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perknite:
For those who have or are thinking about abandoning lollirock, I had issues with the interface as well. What I did was install KODI (which is one of the main attractions to the NP for me) and then XBMC Launcher from the play store. If you like the KODI interface, make it your homescreen and you can launch any Android app from it.

I do hope the Amazon conundrum is figured out. Though the Amazon apps (from apks downloaded from amazon.com and the amazon app store) work in lollirock, the "leanback" style interface is sorely missing.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vc2015:
Are you using 4.0.6.161?

The recently-released Nvidia Shield TV is ARM v8 based. Would somebody with a Fire TV upload some .apks that i could test and (if they work) bring to the Shield XDA sub-forum? I'm particularly interested in the UK BBC iPlayer app, though any apps will do for testing. I've sideloaded the Fire's Sling TV .apk from this thread but it refuses to do anything without an up (to the latest version for Android TV which is in fact available in the Play Store anyway).

SlingPlayer is available on the Nexus Player. I set up a Nexus player yesterday for my parents and that was one of the preinstalled apps I removed. See if you can install it directly from the Google play store.

i9506

Flashed and everything works. Battery drains because of constant wifi scanning, fixed by turning it off in settings(had the same on KK). Rom was laggy. Apps were launching slow and often misbehaving(i did a factory reset, not helping) . I rooted and made a strong debloat.... phone is still slow, interface laggs, now we have TW imitating stock with samsung lag, nothing more. I will wait for later release hoping to get it fixed, possibly get the missing features. I will be really gratefull if someone reskins some of the stock apps and remove the S finder bar from dropdown.

3. On pc open terminal as admin.

4. Point to folder where nflash.exe, wheelie.exe and nvflash blobs are.

5. Type

[Xposed General] Peri Noid:
I have installed Xposed Framework on my wife's Acer Liquid E3 (E380). In fact, Xposed was the main reason for me to root it. But it seems, that Xposed causes problems. The thing is, that after I have it installed and activated, when the phone boots, the laucher starts, then some services that run in background (Llama for instance) and for several seconds I can try and do something, but at the end of the boot process the phone freezes. It does not respond to the keys nor screen touching. Furthermore, it does not respond to plugging the power cable nor unplugging it. Well... in fact it seems, that it is not completly hanged, becouse after something like few minutes it can perform certain actions, like dim the screen, but then it does not respond again. It looks like something is consuming all available computing resources and even the system core is not responding. I have tried to uninstall background services, but it changes nothing. Lucky for me, I managed to deactivate Xposed Framework before the phone "hung", which fixed all the problems.

Since I'd like to have ability to use Xposed Framework, I'd like to have the situation fixed. Is there a way to safely debug Xposed Framework startup? I have just several seconds after the launcher starts, before I get a system frozen.

Thanks in advance for any wise advice.
