[Fire TV General] shlokpatel:
Tried following this however with no success.

These are the instructions I followed replacing files with firestick 2 variants- from this thread (https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/total-mod-playing-fire-complete-t3629990/page25)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Boot to TWRP, wipe your device (Optional but recommended) and then install Rbox Pre-rooted rom "sloane-5.2.6.2-rooted_r1.zip"

2) Reboot device and perform signing in to Amazon if required. Goto Settings -> Device -> Developer Options and enable ABD Debugging and Apps from Unknown Sources.

3) Download the GAPPS required files linked above and my "Playing_With_Fire_v4a.ZIP" file here. Md5 File

4) EXTRACT THE Playing_With_Fire_v4a.ZIP THEN:

PLACE THE CONTENTS OF THE "sdcard" FOLDER TO THE ROOT OF A MICRO SD CARD or USB along with the downloaded GAPPS .zip & .zip.md5. Thus ensuring the gapps-config.txt is with the GAPPS files.

PLACE THE "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder in "C:\Program Files (x86)" of your Windows PC. If you already have this you can just overwrite.

NOTE: I have configured the "gapps-config.txt" file to include leanback launcher in the install.

5) Open "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" by clicking the shortcut link in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder.

Connect to your device's ADB terminal and run the following commands to install the Busybox APK and push files to /sdcard/

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb connect 192.168.xxx.xx

adb install -r busybox.apk

adb install -r XposedEdge_v4.4.1.apk

NOTE: You MUST OPEN the Busybox app on the Fire TV and install the Busybox Binaries, BEFORE YOU RUN the LazyLeanback Scripts.

If you don't, everything may APPEAR TO INSTALL OK, BUT YOU WILL BE MISSING A CRITICAL step that allows OpenGApps TV-Stock to fully install all required libraries properly.

6) On the Fire TV box, run Busybox, and install Binaries on Fire TV device (Allowing SuperUser permissions)

Also, open the XposedEdge app and then close it. This will ensure the prefs folder is created and will prevent errors in the LazyLeanback Script later.

7) Continue on ADB to push the required files to the Fire TV sdcard directory:

adb push gapps-config.txt /sdcard/

adb push HDXPosed-1.3.apk /sdcard/

adb push PlayFire_v4a_LazyLeanback.tar.gz /sdcard/

adb push XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk /sdcard/

8) Continue on ADB with the following code (After the below "su" command you will need to allow Superuser on the FireTV as this is the first time requesting root):

adb shell

su

tar -xzvf /sdcard/PlayFire_v4a_LazyLeanback.tar.gz

9) MAKE SURE YOU ARE STILL IN A ROOT SHELL AND ONLY ONCE YOU ARE ROOT RUN THE LAZYLEANBACK SCRIPTS

Code:

adb shell

su

sh /sdcard/PlayFire/LazyLeanback.sh

Note: While in shell, you can type: df to check /system partition space (If you have 130M+ you should be good to go using my gaaps-config.txt file)

10) Reboot into TWRP and install the Updated SuperSU-v2.82 "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip"(if you hadn't already)

11) Continue in TWRP and install OpenGApps "open_gapps-arm64-5.1-tvstock-20180331.zip"

12) Continue in TWRP and install Xposed "xposed-v89-sdk22-arm64.zip"

Once you've successfully installed these 3 in TWRP, reboot the system.

13) Connect to your device's ADB terminal and run the next FINAL command FROM A ROOT SHELL (OR IT WILL NOT WORK)

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb connect 192.168.xxx.x

adb shell

su

sh /sdcard/PlayFire/LazyNoTouch.sh

14) Go into Xposed and enable Xposed Edge and HDXPosed, Then reboot the Fire TV (again)

15) Go into Xposed Edge and Enable "Keys"

16) Reboot

17) YOU ARE MOSTELY DONE. AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY LOGIN TO GOOGLE PLAY STORE.

18) Disable services not needed (I done this through ADB shell but there are other ways if you want):

adb shell

su

pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota

pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota.override

Note: The next 3 are related to the Amazon launcher. You should disable if you don't use it, or leave it if you do.

pm disable com.amazon.tv.launcher

pm disable com.amazon.device.sale.service

pm disable com.amazon.vizzini

19) Done - You can now proceed to perform other activities (additional blacklisting etc

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that, I followed your steps to install the google app and the playstore along with the TVLauncher and TVSettings.

But I have had no luck with play store working. After disabling fire launcer, i can finally get into Leanback launcher but it looks like this - https://i.imgur.com/nBXC9Wk.png

Clicking on the play store doesnt load anything

The problem maybe that I am using the latest gapps but I cannot find any old gapps. [MENTION=7153704]Pix12[/MENTION] What is the date for the gapps package you managed to get working? Would be great if you could dm me a link

I managed to get past this by deleting some system apps using system app remover.

Chose some from this list - https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/development/unlock-fire-tv-stick-2nd-gen-tank-t3907002/post79087705
