[Fire TV Android Development] sconnyuk:
For those who use Xposed framework and would like to use it on the Fire stick ive managed to find a way how to install xposed v85 on Fire stick without a recovery.

Ive successfully installed it onto my own Fire Stick and a friends Fire stick.

Before you go on im not responsible for any bricking you might encounter.

Your more than welcome to wait for Rbox to release a custom recovery for the stick.

Please note, im only passing on what i found and tried, i did not make the tool.

Be very careful on what modules you install, again im not responsible for any bricks that might arise.

This obviously requires root. Im rooted with kingoroot.

The Fire sticks i tested where on 5.0.5 and 5.2.1.0

If your on a higher firmware version and are rooted use this guide and come back:

Im explaining the guide from a windows pc and using the program ADBlink to transfer files, if your going to do this a different way please modify instructions to suit.

First download this:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=13649473132596741692

Next extract the folder to your desktop.

Open up ADBlink and connect to your Fire stick.

Upload the entire contents to your Fire sticks internal sd card, (make sure the files are going to /sdcard).

Head over to your Fire stick and install busybox, open busybox up and click install and wait till its finished.

Very important to click install inside of the Busybox app, if it wont let you exit the app and try again. You will have problems trying to run the script further in the guide

Install Terminal (not sure if this step is necessary as you will be using ADBlink's ADB Shell, but it was used when i found this info). Finally install Xposed installer, make sure you DO NOT open the Xposed apk yet, just click done.

Now if you used a different way to do this and the files are not in the /sdcard directory now is the time to move them to the /sdcard directory.

Back over to windows pc.

Click ADB Shell in ADBlink (you should have it still open and connected to your Fire stick).

Type the following commands:

su then hit enter.

sh /sdcard/installer.bin then hit enter.

Choose option 1 hit enter.

You will see alot of errors, ignore these and restart your Fire Stick.

It will take a while to boot and go to the optimizing apps screen and take about 10 minutes to boot up.

After its booted go ahead and check Xposed is installed !

Again im not responsible for anyone's Fire Stick and/or any modules you may try.

Would be a good idea to list working modules you guys might try, give the community a heads up on whats working.

I will update the guide with modules i test and/or you guys report work.

*edit***

This also works on 5.2.1.0, was informed by user [MENTION=242016]metallica[/MENTION] this worked on 5.2.1.0

Ive just got the time to test this on a brand new Fire Stick and can confirm it also.

Thanks [MENTION=242016]metallica[/MENTION]

*edit

*Ive now successfully installed xposed v85 on 6 Fire Sticks*

Working Modules: (not limited to, just ones ive tried or been told work)

AdBlocker

Lucky Patcher

RootCloak

SpotifySkip

YouTube AdAway

RboxFireTvMods v1.4 *This mod will hide stock launcher without disabling settings* (finally got amazon screen launcher gone)

*update*

I should of included this information when I made the guide but in order to be able to select and activate any xposed mod in xposed menu after you have installed it using the fire stick remote alone will not allow you to navigate to the checkbox and put a tick into it.

In order to do this you must have an app to turn the remote into a mouse or some other way to manoeuvre the pointer.

The 3 ways I know of doing this are:

1/ Mouse toggle for fire tv. This is the easiest way but its a paid app. Download it from Google play and send it to your Fire TV.

2/ Droidmote server, agaim another paid app from Google play store but this must have Google play store/services installed as to allow for license check. There is a guide to follow to have this installed on here somewhere.

3/ Use Bluetooth mouse if you have one.

4/ Use an USB mouse with an OTG connector, the commands to start OTG are on AFTVnews.com, I have this command autorun at boot to enable otg after a restart (very handy).

There may be other ways but these are the omes ive had experience with and use myself.
