Well I got it up and running. I may not have done it the most optimal way, but so far so good. I'm not really into what Google has to offer (yet...), but Netflix and Kodi are working, and that's the most important thing to me. I wish I could use the Fire TV remote to move around the home screen to select things like Netflix and Kodi. I'm using a keyboard/track pad to do that for now.

I'll definitely PM you some questions. I'll start working on a guide that will document my experience starting out rooted on 5.0.5 and going to 5.2.4.0. The only thing I did differently was I actually uploaded and configured the TvSettings.apk before I started disabling all those Amazon packages as I can never get push working and FTP'd the apk instead. I wanted to make sure I could get through setting up the apk first.
[Fire TV General] maleclub:
Upgrade to 5.2.4.0. After all the tests, I solved all the problems. Recommendations works well, and finally there is a bug: when i enter tvsettings, login wifi

enter the password can not press the OK key.

(When I press the Enter key, it will jump to the selection box. Press the Enter key again to jump to the password entry box)

Do other people have the same problem? how to solve this problem?thanks!!!

Thanks for that catch , It seems that Click button handler don't work well.

Will solve that issue an release a new version to this post.

Meanwhile you can enable again amazon TV launcher define Wifi network device and disable launcher afterwards.
[Fire TV General] peleg:
Do you still have issues with fire TV remote control ?

If yes meanwhile you can enable again amazon TV launcher define your remote as Bluetooth device and disable launcher afterwards.
[Fire TV General] PhoenixMark:
I don't see how to choose to pair my remote as bluetooth specifically.
[Fire TV General] peleg:
TvSetting -> Remote & accessories -> Add Accessory

if it is not working re-enable amazon's TV launcher and set it from it's settings .
[Fire TV General] maleclub:
thanks very much!!!
[Fire TV General] PhoenixMark:
I have an issue where when I'm on Android TV I can't use the Fire TV remote to select anything on the screen (other than the voice search button). I can use a keyboard/trackpad to select things, but that's a clunky solution.

Solution is not to install the most recent version of Android TV. I used version 1.1.6.2973566 from September 3, 2016. My Fire TV remote works correctly now.
[Fire TV General] nijhawank@yahoo.com:
Did you mean the Android TV (Leanback) Launcher apk, because I have v1.1.7.3300609 of it installed and facing no problems. Verify your list of disabled amazon packages? I have only OTA and Amazon Sale Service packages disabled and everything working fine.
[Fire TV General] PhoenixMark:
I disabled everything listed back in post 1 which was a lot more than just the two you mentioned.
[Fire TV General] PhoenixMark:
Here's that guide I wrote. I'm open to input on making it better. I can't get any Google services working. Tried that tutorial over at AFTV for Google Music (post 7) and it didn't work for me.

http://marksmods.com/Hack-the-Fire-TV/How-to-Install-Android-TV-on-the-Fire-TV.html
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
I plan to read the whole guide later today. But just wanted to add this info:

Although we usually don't need to worry about updates when flashing the current latest PreRooted Rom. There is already a solution that can be implemented from TWRP right after installing the PreRooted Rom & before the first boot-up process. RBox thru Elias already provided a how to block updates on a rooted Fire TV or Fire TV Stick by setting a custom Fire OS version number guide.

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-bloc...k-by-setting-a-custom-fire-os-version-number/

After installing the PreRooted rom you can just reboot into TWRP again & follow that guide to mod the Build.prop file.

There is one part that is missing from Elias guide. And that is in my case. The build.prop mod was not completed/working unless I did a "change chmod 755 for build.prop file in system" part that "some doosh" mentioned in the comments over at the guides thread. If I didn't do the chmod 755 command then my FTV would hang on he boot screen.

Hopefully [MENTION=5957312]AFTVnews.com[/MENTION] can add this to his guide with pics.

Later on I would also do the ADB command OTA update blocking as a backup.
[Fire TV General] peleg:
Nice work , I will get over your guide and post my feedback if will be any :)

You can contact me privately and I will help you with Google Services.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Great guide. Although right now it is only for FTV2's. With some minor edits it can be for all FTV's.

Change to have the latest PreRooted FW instead of a specific one since right now all FTV devices are not on the same FW version.

When installing XPosed. Will need links to the ARM version too instead of just the ARM64 version for FTV1's. If I am not mistaken.

Including .md5 files for what needs to be flashed thru TWRP is also a good idea & easy to make. For file integrity verification.

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-use-twrps-built-in-md5-file-integrity-checker-to-avoid-bricking/

Have at least two options on the disabling list. One for those that want the leanest option. So they will disable the most Amazon services. And one for those that want the most compatible/stable option. Which would mean the fewest services disabled. And maybe a third for those that want something in between.

Seems only modding 3 services might be enough: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71357866&postcount=75

That is all I can think of now. Great job though.
[Fire TV General] PhoenixMark:
Thanks Y314K. You've given me a lot to think about adding.

I've finished modifying all pages of the tutorial. Every page was changed in some way since the original posting some 24 hours ago.

Peleg it's awesome project! It's work very good.

Thank you very much!

In Google Play does not work search (when you click on the search returns to the main GooglePlay), does anyone have such a problem?

GooglePlay version 7.5.08 (last)
[Fire TV General] peleg:
Thanks!

Searching problem is a know issue , still working on that .

Hopefully I will release new update next mouth that should over come this issue.

Hey guys... 1st of all, great thread...

Now, flame me if you want to lol

But i don't have an Amazon TV, i have a Sheild Tablet, and by now you're wondering, why is he here?? Well, i have done a mod on my tablet similar to this thread, i have Android TV up and running... all files working, and most Google apps working, that's needed.

Anyhow, i have the Leanback Launcher installed, and the problem i have, is i cant get any icons to appear on the bottom row, like the settings icon, the WiFi icon, and accessories.. if i link someone to the settings.apk on my device, could anyone make it possible to have the settings shortcut appear in the Leanback Launcher? Thanks guys, don't flame me lol
[Fire TV General] peleg:
I have compiled TVSettings.apk application to work with fire devices only , and It was tested on those . No grantee that it should work on nvidia's devices ...

You can try to install it as system app and follow all instruction I have attached to this post . Try to look for the original TvSettings that deliver with the shield TV that also might work... Ask someone to pull it for you.

peleg.
[Fire TV General] LiamAtkins90:
Thank you for your reply, :)

I did try placing it in the priv-app path, as i didn't see anything specific to the Amazon device in terms of device tags or anything... But i got stuck at boot lol

I might try pulling the TVsettings.app from some STV firmware, what was the process to get the settingstv app working on the ATV? What code was added?
[Fire TV General] Cokefrevr:
Hey is the tvsettings in the first post the most updated? Also does anyone have Bluetooth issues? Whenever I want to add a Bluetooth device it just scans and nothing happens.

has someone managed to run the playstore on fw 5.2.4.1, there is a new download manager update so that the hdxposed modul doesn't work anymore.

any fixes or workarounds?
[Fire TV General] adam_ky:
got everything working.. my only concern now is that I cant get back to the default settings. Is there a way?

because with you tvsettings.apk there is no video or audio settings.. no way to turn on or off adb debugging ect ect...

seems that a person may have to access those at one point or annother
[Fire TV General] peleg:
The only way to get back Amazon settings is to re-enable Amazon launcher :

pm enable com.amazon.tv.launcher
[Fire TV General] adam_ky:
Thanks

If you re enable it, does it become default one more?

Seems that it would be possible to do something like the rbox firetv mods closed extension and firestarter.. It would make firestarter the default but would allow you to open the default launcher also.

Have you had any luck with Google voice integration? On 5.0.1 I had it semi working. Currently on this build though 5.2.4.1 , with leanback... The voice setteings are greyed out.. On prev setup I didn't have the button keymapped but if I held the search button while it was waiting it would pick up the voice

edit:

I have found that if you disable alexia, holding the voice search button on the remote will indeed let the google voice work. pushing or holding the button wont bring up google voice search but if you press on search in youtube, playstore, ect... and then hold the voice button on remote it will capture your voice

pm disable com.amazon.vizzini

now, if we just change the keymap off the voice search button to bring up google voice search all should be well. not sure how to do that though.. i remember rbox firetv xposed mod allowed for a custom keymap file to be edited. im not sure what to put in it though. maybe some help with this would make it work

One more thing I would like to implement is external storage.. sdcard in the settings. On my setup using the leanback launcher and settings, under storage, all i see is the internal. Nothing for the sd card i have inserted
[Fire TV General] adam_ky:
How one one go about getting the normal leanback launcher app switcher to work? Usually its a double press of home that brings it up but if you double press home some amazon message pops up.

Missing the ability to force close an app..

hey man everything you need is for free, don't pay a cent unless your donating to someones work or if wrose comes to wrose you have to ship the process is very simple, I would link but I can't even use my computer my motherboard ****ted out so the links have been in my sig you'll read the unlocking for dumbys fallow that to the T then you can use mine or any other wm6 rom on the forum then search the slide to unlock here and I'm sure you'll find some threads with it..

if you still don't want to unlock your phone I would do it for if you cover shipping once my computer is fixed if it every is..it was my first custom build computer didn't expect it to last this long LOL
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mikaarce:
its free, just follow the threads, unlocking and flashing a new rom, just follow it to the letter you will not be misled, i did it on my own as well as the others before me, i dont have much knowledge in the computer or pocket pc either, slide to unlock you just have to download the latest version, copy it to your pocket pc and install from there, then go to start/programs/slidetounlock click it and its done:)

if you commit a mistake just post your problem a lot of people will help you, its better to do it on your own rather than having others do it, because there are a lot of new stuffs for the wizard:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ROCOAFZ:
1st see check the forum to see if you have a G3 or G4

This is VERY important

I don't have a G4 so i don't know there steps but with a G3

Look for the button rom. Flash to that 1st. It will unlock your phone.

Flash back to your carrier's rom (tmobile in your case)

Flash to new Wm6 rom. So far Octavio's 5.7 is the best for me. There are a lot of choices. If you decide to flash to another WM6 rom after that, 1st flash back to your carriers. It helps to have a stable base and i find i don't get bad flashes that way.

The new slide 2 unlock is a cab file. just copy it to your phone and double click it to install. There is a setting program you will find under programs on your phone.

Radio 2.19 gets rid of almost all missed call issues should you experience them.

and SPL 3.08 will speed up your boot process (mine boots with Octavios in 7 seconds)

Hope this helps you. If you have a G4 though don't follow the above.

If someone could post here how to tell the difference as i forget how nowadays, we can start him out right without bricking his phone.

There is no reason to pay anyone for this. There is a very detailed wiki that will detail everything you need to know about how to go about upgrading your Wizard. It is surprisingly easy once you get going. You just have to be patient and have a tough gut. The link to the wiki I'm talking about is in my signature titled How to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 For Newbies!!

Just read that whole wiki and make sure you understand everything and once you feel confident that you understand what you've read, begin the preparation stage and download EVERYTHING you will need to finalize the process in advance before ever starting. This will make the upgrading process go more smoothly.

Good luck.

P.S. I am available for chat on AIM or Windows Live Messenger if you would like me to walk you through it. I will NOT, however, accept any payment or do it for you. Everyone needs to learn on their own because hypothetically, what happens if you tell me what ROM you want and then I do it all for you and then you decide you don't like the ROM or it is too buggy, then you have to either send to someone else again and pay for it to be changed, or learn how to do it yourself. My addresses are at the top of every one of my posts.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] quicksite:
Okay, everyone who replied, thank you. I will get focused and do it

It reminds of when I was a kid and climbed up the high dive for the very first time, and looked down at the pool. Low dive had not been a prob... but high dive seemed a certain disaster!

But I am here to tell the story, so, okay I guess I can manage.

I will go back to the threads and wiki and print out instructions first, then determine what kind of phone I have, then go download everything I will need, as suggested, and proceed.

but here's my User 101 question: Part of what makes me nervous is the nomenclature itself" What does it mean to "flash a ROM"? I don't even get that. I know that ROMS are read-only-memory, and are the thing that one updates when new firmware is released for a device. But as silly as it sounds, I don't know what flash ROM means. Similarly, I am looking for a replacement video card for my Mac, and forums recommend that the fastest cards for the Mac are ones that are PC cards that are flashed.

I am sure once I hear what it means, technically, I will "get it", by right now it seems like sending a jolt of electricity to some printed circuit and that's what makes me nervous.

Thank you all very much.

Sir...24 hours ago I barely knew how to take pics off my phone and put them on my computer. After reading most all the stuff posted here for about a good hour, I attempted it and got everything to work (just like they said) in about 70 minutes. I took my time, read everything twice (sometimes three times) and went for it. Don't be scared to break a few eggs to make the omelet.

It's kinda like that scene from The Matrix where there is a blue pill and red.

One road takes you right back to where you were before and you never knew the difference and the other "frees your mind."

You won't regret it.

Ahh ignore my instructions then... and when you flash a WM6 rom make sure it is G4 safe... ask the maker of the rom. Most will tell you.

Hi guys, i have stock mm on sm-900M with root and twrp, i was wondering what apps can i delete from stock without suffer any crash or error. Any recomended app to do it? Does exists any stock rom clean and deodexed?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilCapron:
Do a backup with TWRP.

Use Titanium Backup to freeze the apps that you might wish to delete eventually. When happy, delete.

There are cleaned stock rooms around but don't know about your model.

Depending on your requirements you could delete as many as say 150 apps.

My personal installed total is 154 including 43 apps of my own choosing.

[LG Optimus G Pro] SeniorStun:
Hello guys, I have a problem with my phone. I need to install a custom recovery in my LG F240k but when I install one recovery my phone brick. I tried to install twrp and philz recovery but when I install and I restart my phone, my phone only start in recovery mode or show me the error "error boot certification verification". I think the error is because I don't have the phone with bootloader open and also I need help to unlock the bootloader. I use the app "freegee" but i don't have the model e980 and this program show me a error. I have LG F240K model, android 4.4.2 and software version "F240K20H". I don't use android 5.1 because the recoverys and tutorials working in android 4.4 and when I install custom recovery I make the wipes. Also I need help with the vibration of the phone, I can delete complety the vibration of my phone, editing the build.pro maybe? :confused:

Someone help me? Thank you for the answers :fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
You're on KitKat, FreeGee isn't working with KitKat aboot and never will. Use GPRO recovery apk from forums (if you can't find it in forums, tell me, I'll upload it somewhere, but really try finding it on forums first) to flash compatible recovery, then flash from freegee or simply flash twrp with flashify. Or even better, flash stock jellybean and use freegee on it.

About vibration issue, I don't understand. You want to completely disable it? Just go in notification settings and uncheck vibrations and haptic feedback everywhere you see it.
