[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] Sheikboy:
Hello all,

So with some trial and error, I was able to get my hands on the apks for the Fire TV Versions of HBO Go, Showtime Anytime and WatchESPN. These are all apps we desperately need on our Android Tvs.

The biggest problem right now is that when you sideload these onto your device, they bring up one of three errors.

If you don't have the Amazon Appstore or Amazon Underground installed at all, it will prompt you to install it, then force quit itself.

If you have the Amazon Appstore or Amazon Underground installed, but you are not logged in, the error will prompt you to login and will take you straight to the login page.

If you have the Amazon Appstore or the Amazon Underground, and you are logged in, the error will claim that you do not own the app in question and either show you details or force-quit you.

Now, it seems to me (a humble peasant compared to many people here) that we're approaching this all wrong. So far, it seems like we've been trying to hoodwink the apps into thinking we're running them on Fire TV devices by modifying our build.prop. I have yet to hear this work. Instead I would propose this: what if we stopped the error message from closing our apps after the prompt? So say, in the first scenario, it prompts me to install the Amazon Appstore, I click ok... and nothing happens, leaving me free to use the app normally.

This Youtuber was able to get the HBO Now (not Go) app for Fire TV working somehow using this method

If a brave soul of the XDA community wants to try this and gift us with modified APKs that will run on our systems, that would be fantastic. I can attach the APKs if you need them
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] Sheikboy:
UPDATE

I was able to get this to work! DM me for details (if Amazon finds out how, they will shut down this loophole). I was able to get most apps for Fire TV I could get my hands on to work! The only one that consistently gave me issues was the WatchABC app, everything else works 100% (HBO Go is a little sluggish, but Showtime Anytime is buttery smooth :D )
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] spotdog14:
I would love to get the watchespn apk!
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] jasontermechi:
It's already available in one of the threads, I've had it working for the most part. I think if you had a keyboard and mouse it would be even better.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] bradwatson:
Android TV needs a WatchESPN app. I'm not going to use a mouse to control my TV. I know it works but it's annoying. I'll just cast until they hopefully release one. The Fire TV WatchESPN app is fantastic.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] DD9200:
Hi mate, there's an app on FireTV called TVPlayer for UK Freeview channels, it has a really nice UI on FireTV completely different to the regular Android app, wondering if you'd manage to grab that one?
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] bikubay1:
Kodi with ESPN3 plugin works perfectly.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] xaudiblex:
Did they have any luck getting it to work for regular ESPN channels with sign-in?
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] cnmsales:
Would it be possible to get an APK for Playstation Vue? Id like to see if I can get it running on my Nexus.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] mboord:
Playstation Vue would be great, if its possible. Its a great service, just wish it was on the nexus player.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] treymok:
Yeah Playstation Vue... Yes, please!
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] kupony:
I don't know if you guys noticed - but watchESPN is now a native androidTV app. Easy install from within nexus player's play store. Seems to work great, live streaming works as well. Finally, I was able to get rid of the sideloaded apk.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] superlarz:
The new ESPN app works amazingly on Nexus Player, at least in my experience. Now I just need working Amazon, Vudu , and NBC Sports apps
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ranjitbasnet:
Its not availabe at my location. Is there anyway you can post Apk please?
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] jakejm79:
Do you know if the HBO Go app works with comcast, Comcast hasn't approved the use of androidTV devices for streaming but they have for FireOS and regular Android, currently I use the regular Android app, but proper TV UI and remote navigation would be good.

UPDATE:

It does indeed appear to be a separate app that activates has a fire tv device so can be activated with comcast, but its pretty laggy, does anyone have the most up to date fire tv version, I'm running 2.7.06

Looks like I spoke too soon, seems like I can't get anything to actually play, just force closes.

Hi guys would disabling bloatware help with battery performance. I have seen people say they have improved their SOT by a good margin. So all i want to know is how do i disable all the bloatware to get amazing battety life?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devhux:
Root, then install Titanium Backup and freeze the apps you don't want
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselhazza:
I dont want to root the device. Im using battery saving mode from 100% to full discharge. However, i only get around 3 to 3.5hrs SOT. This is poor performance coming from 3000mah battery. On samsung devices you can use debloater without rooting device. How can i manage to do that to my G4
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonyyip:
Sorry, no other way but root first
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselhazza:
Ohk i thought there might be a way. Samsung users can do it without rooting. I dont want to root my phone because its still under warranty.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonyyip:
I root my G4 at 1 day of purchase. If anything go wrong I need to have warranty service, I simply unroot it without any track! So warranty is not my concern at all.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselhazza:
Yea but if i root it i wont get the OTA updates. The new marshmallow os is about to get released and i wont get it if i root it. I want to know if any program exists to do it like samsung
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdag4:
There is no such program. You need root privileges to remove system applications. That is true for any modern operating system.

However you can disable a lot of applications in Settings -> Apps, which has for the most part the same effect.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonyyip:
Anyway Android M will not be much difference with Android L. As an early bird to upgrade may not be better off. If rooted, I will follow the route using download mode to install 6.0 IMG or using TWRP to flash 6.0 IMG.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grishka11:
I'm trying to build AOSP for Moto X 2013 (ghost). I've successfully built the kernel separately already (and flashed it to my device to make sure it works) but I can't seem to find a way to tell AOSP to use it. I get the following error when running make -j16 otapackage:

No private recovery resources for TARGET_DEVICE ghost

make: *** No rule to make target `out/target/product/ghost/kernel', needed by `out/target/product/ghost/boot.img'. Stop.

I've already tried to add this line to device.mk:

LOCAL_KERNEL := device/motorola/ghost-kernel/zImage

But it did nothing.

Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskor:
I think, you should use TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL variable

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9008761/replace-the-prebuilt-kernel-in-the-android-platform-source

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_integrated_kernel_building
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grishka11:
Fixed this build step by adding these lines to the device makefile:

TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := device/motorola/ghost-kernel/zImage
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
$(TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL):kernel

Effectively, this copies the kernel file to the output directory to be processed by subsequent steps.

It looks like Z580c and other Intel based recovery method doesn't work (T1-T4), but fastboot OEM unlock works.

Is there other method allows to install TWRP and root?

I did as described in the above link u posted.

I did a Factory Reset, didnt update.

The fasboot method worked, used it with:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot oem unlock confirm

fastboot boot root-v2-z380c.img

Installed SuperSU, but no idea what it does.

Is it working now?

Root Basic Checker app says its not rooted?

Solution: It was the SuperSU I had to open up first, running in the background, so it would ask for permission when Root Basic Checker checked it.

Is it possible to use Xposed on this device to get rid off the ZenUI ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecino:
Xposed - I don't know. Z380 own my kids.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowseals:
It doesnt have to be Xposed, but atleast I want to make it run more smooth.

1) by removing bloatware (using root + uninstall master app)

2) by custom rom (i.e. Xposed or...) ?

3) any other recommendations? I see Greenify/Amplify being mentioned?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecino:
1) Titanium Backup or anything else.

2) Custom rom - unfulfilled wish yet

3) I prefer Naptime - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowseals:
Thanks! :good:

1) Titanium I've installed and going to make a backup for System and Apps.

I assume this backup is needed in case you remove something which causes the system to get unstable right?

But if it causes too much instability, like not starting up nomore, how can you run the backup afterwards?

2) I've searched alot, but it seems there is no Custom ROM for Z380C out-there yet.

the_mechanical tried but failed here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71498513&postcount=13

3) I tried Naptime, but it seems not compatible with Android 5.0.2. Greenify it is for me (since Amplify needs Xposed).

the_mechanical has some tips what to disable here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71671116&postcount=15
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecino:
1) I know what I can uninstall. If will be any problem you can use Asus AFT flash tool with RAW image for rollback - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65929688&postcount=210.

2) Probably not

3) Yes you are right. Naptime is working only on 6.0+.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoJatey:
Running lolli 5.0.2 on my 8.4 Tab S. I'm rooted with CF Auto with TWRP recovery. Can someone please tell me what this OTA they're trying to push on me will take me to. I'm guessing I'll probably lose root if I go ahead and let install. If I do , can I just reroot with CF combined with TWRP again? I remember that there's a way to disable this OTA by deleting or editing a file or two and I'm searching for that. Appreciate any feedback.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
The OTA file is found in your /cache directory so obviously you need to use a file manager with RW privileges to / or the one in TWRP to delete the OTA file. Before deleting uncheck Settings - About - Software - Updates - Auto update. As you have likely altered the contents of your /system partition the OTA may fail to apply as it does a detailed check of that partitions contents before it applies changes.

Once you are rooted and OTAs fail then you can use Flashfire to selectively update the boot and system images from the latest firmware for your device but any changes to /system will need to be reapplied. Flashfire will re-root your device during the upgrade. By being selective in which images from the firmware you apply you preserve recovery and userdata.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoJatey:
The ota.zip was in my fota folder. Deleted it and unchecked auto update like you said. I'm gonna leave it like this as some of that other stuff mentioned is a little over my head. Will check out flashfire but unsure which version to look at as they have a couple of betas. Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
Right now Flashfire is in beta so the Dev (Chainfire) includes software which forces you to always use the current version. That helps him with support, so you need to use the latest version of flashfire the previous versions have expired. Join Chainfire's Google+ group for Flashfire for links and news. You should also read what Flashfire does by following its XDA thread.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You could have flashed that OTA with FLASHFIRE and kept root.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoJatey:
Still may get a chance to do that. Even though I deleted update.zip from my data/fota folder and unchecked auto update in settings, there's the annoying reminder when I turn back on that update has been downloaded and is ready to be installed. Except now there is no update.zip or I can't find it. Did a search with root explorer and turned up nothing. Tempted to go ahead and touch install and see what happens. It may abort because there is no update file now but if there is I would much rather take your advice and flash it with flashfire if I can find it. Would be happy just to get rid of the pop up.

Ok guys this is what I did and I love it. I have a Tmobile note edge. I installed the software for the note 4 from this site

http://www.echoerom.com/thread/1446-...port/?4f129d79

That is the 5.1.1 for the Galaxy N4 (SM-N910F). Right after flashing it. I flashed the data fix from this site https://mega.nz/#!39FnXChZ!exHzqHati...u9zEY3-31Ar3b0

which is Sprints Sac23 S6 Edge Custom Rom TMOBILE PORT

Then I flashed for the audio calls problems this file

https://www.dropbox.com/s/big39gva09..._ROMS.zip?dl=0

And finally the note edge kernel from this site.

Emotion Kernel for TEKXodus N4 Port:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/cq...5-SM-N915T.zip

It runs fantanstic, Im guessing for note 4 users the difference would be the kernel. All the funtions from the note 5 plus S6 Plus are working and it looks amazing, the only problem I have is My files FC and people edge and Oncircle not working on the right side of the phone but fully funtional on the left. I hoe you guys can make it and enjoy it as much as I do.

None of this is my work, please thank to the developers for each part, they are the one that work hard. I just figure out how to put all together to work on my phone and I cant be any more happy
