BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also looking for some mods as I have just recently rooted my atrix as well.
So far I have done the Telstra mod --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049434&highlight=Telstra
although I found the thread a little overwhelming. I found a youtube video that walked me through it and now my download speed is 5280kbps and upload speed is 1210kbps!
An app that requires root that I downloaded today is pretty cool as well, its called Wireless Tether for Root in Market. Its free and it turns your phone into a wifi hotspot at the touch of a buton. Works great.

Well since you already took the plunge and rooted your phone, the very first thing I would suggest is to install CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143
It's not really that hard to install, and once you do install it, you can then create a back up of your entire phone (much more than Titanium backup). It's kind of like a creating a windows system image. That way if you mess anything up in the future, you can always restore to your backup that you made. Plus most mods, roms and themes are now using CWM for installation. Just follow the directions, ask if you get stuck, and read the thread, and you should be ok.
After that I would also suggest that you download Root explorer and SQLite Editor from the market; they come in handy.
If you get these apps, you can manually do the following (I always manually do my mods for the most part):
How about free mobile hotspot?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980636

Ok, you can download root explorer and SQLite Editor in the market, you just have to be rooted to use them.
Here are my instructions for enabling flash w/ Dolphin HD Browser. As stated above, you need to go to the dolphin browser setting and set user agent to desktop mode and set enable plugins (under advanced) to always.

Didn't work for me. Hulu gives me a message that Hulu requires at least flash version 10.0.32... Was fun playing though. First time I've used root explorer. I'm impressed.

You need to install Adobe Flash from the market first... probably was uninstalled during gingerbreak or flashing sbf.
1) Uninstall adobe flash
2) reboot for good measure
3) install a fresh adobe flash from the market
4) Follow the instructions in the post, replacing the correct flash file and making sure the stock one was either overwritten or deleted.
5) reboot for good measure

I second the Hulu hack, its magic

[Q] Has anybody managed to get Sky Go working with Rooted Nexus 7?

I'm just wondering if anybody has managed to get the Sky Go app working with a rooted Nexus 7?
I've read somewhere that a rooted Android device can work with Sky Go if it is running a stock kernel and used in conjunction with Temp Root Remover.
If anybody has, please share your set up. :good:
Many Thanks,
Andy

I don't have an active Sky account anymore, but on Modaco JR13 with Stock kernel and unsecure boot.
I managed to load the app and sign into my old account without any problems.
Obviously I didn't get as far as watching TV as my account is closed.
Hope this helps.

This thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042095 ) describes a possible workaround (removal of supersu) but grants all subsequently installed apps root access after this, hence not ideal.
Fingers crossed a more secure method or patched apk arises in the future!

OK so I have a nexus 7 (2012) on standard Android 4.4.4.
Rooted with CWM and superSU 2.01
I just used the root hider app from the play store and selected ..
Hide Su binary and then
Uninstall super user (selected chain fire SuperSU option)
I then had to go into my root of my nexus 7 and remove the sky go files stored there.
After I deleted them I then restarted the tablet.
I can still reinstalled superSU as I'm still rooted but its a bit of a Hassel ATM as every time I want to watch SkyGO I have to follow the same routine, hideSu > uninstall superSU > delete SkyGO files from root dir > restart tablet.

I think there should be an Xposed module to hide root to certain apps, not 100% sure though..

A simple google search would answer your question: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=hide+root+access+android+xposed+module
But any ways here is the right module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
It's called rootcloak. Remember: you need the Xposed Framework!

Root without TWRP?

I've had nothing but trouble trying to flash the TWRP recovery to my Shield, so I decided to start from scratch and restore the factory 2.1 image.
However, I do want to root the unit so I can install Xposed and other utilities like TiBu. Is it possible to root the stock ROM without installing TWRP?

BTW, at least one solution to being forced into a limited Google Play store via the Shield is to either push apps to the unit via the Play store on a desktop Web browser, push/sideload APKs with ADB or install from USB or SD with EE file explorer.

Things to do with a rooted fire tv!!

Are you someone who just got their Fire TV rooted and don't know exactly what you can do with it being rooted? Or maybe you haven't rooted yet because you are unsure of what you can do with it rooted? Well hopefully i can shed some light on this with a little guide on things to do, along with some tips and tricks.
First let me get started by saying never forget to make a backup of your Fire TV via TWRP before making changes or tweaks. This is not to freak you out or disparage its just good practice ii have learned in rooting devices. I will cover TWRP later.
One of the best things to come along in the rooting world of android is Xposed installer. In short Xposed is a framework apk that allows users to modify/ customize their devices. This is not done by Xposed Installer per say but the modules that you download with in Xposed installer. So i will show how to install it, how to use and modules that will be beneficial use for Fire TV fyi mouse is need to navigate Xposed.
Xposed installation​
1. We need to download the following BusyBox a program that most rooted apps are dependent on here Xposed Installer v3.1.5 here along with Xposed Framework x89 sdk22 arm64 here
2. Install BusyBox however you install side loaded apks. Open BusyBox and click the install button on bottom right. On SU prompt screen grant root access. As you should for root apps you install.
3. Install Xposed Installer, there is no need to open after install because without Xposed Framework installed it doesnt work.
4 Place the Xposed v89 zip onto Fire TV internal or external storage is your choice just remember where so you can point TWRP to it.
5 Reboot into TWRP recovery, choose install, point TWRP to the Xposed zip and on right side of options choose install zip. Let TWRP run its script when it says complete simply reboot and voila Xposed is installed. NOTE it is NORMAL for the first boot to take 10 min after Xposed is installed.
Xposed Tutorial and Modules​
Open Xposed installer on be careful screen prompt click box to don't show again and ok. The 3 line icon on top left is menu button. Module option is where you can see and activate modules you install. Download option is where we search for and install modules. After you download a module Fire TV will prompt you to install. Note modules wont work until activated and a reboot.
Modules i find beneficial and know are SAFE are the following​Boot Manager- this allows for you to choose what apps start on boot.
RootCloak- this is designed to hide root app detection. Im assuming it still will hide root but could be wrong worth shot right
Xposed Edge- this is the FUN one that allows a fair share customs tweaks. My fav is remapping of remote buttons ie home button goes to alternative launcher, double tap home opens netflix. Which is great for 3rd party remotes that have a lot of buttons. NOTE There is a pro version as well Note- whenever you make changes in edge you may have to reboot for changes to effect.
DISCLAIMER be careful some modules may cause problems like bootloop and worse so research before you install modules to see if they are compatible​
Other Apps​
These are apps recommended or useful for rooted devices and for Fire TV use​ADBLink-allows you connect PC t to Fire TV via adb can install apks, push/pull files, run adb shell.
Easy Fire Tools- Android app that connects to Fire TV via adb can install apps from your android device onto Fire TV, transfer files and other features.
Root Explorer- these apps allow you to manage files but also a way to install side loaded apps, find one that is root friendly so you can access system folders if ever needed.
AdBlocker- we all know why we want one for all my rooted phones always been partial to adaway.
Alternative Home Launcher- who does like Fire TV launcher, really Karen of course you would!
TV App Repo and APK Editor- For those who do use alternative launcher i mention these because TV App Repo allows you to make bookmarks into apks. APK Editor to change the icon and name of TVApp Repo apks because the names and icons are generic.
TWRP​
Finally the benefits and how to use TWRP. This allows users to make a backup images of device and ability to restore it when **** goes wrong. You can also do a factory reset.
Backup- after you choose backup from main screen choose select storage and choose storage then click swipe to backup. These can take a while to do seemed like 20 mins or so. Whatever storage you chose will be the default storage until you change it. Note- I have a backup image and its size is 4.5gb so id recommend you need some sort of external storage for these. If there is not enough space backup can not be performed.
Restore- performed same way as backup.
Factory Reset- Just wanted to mention don't forget if you do this and have a backup image on Fire TV internal storage you will lose it.
Hope this helps out​

@g422
Thanks for the write up!!!
To be honest, the benefits of rooting appear to be somewhat underwhelming, at least, for the Fire TV. Not a single killer feature/application ...
I do know that it is more convenient to have root than not, but appears to be in pretty subtle ways.
My main use is between SmartYouTubeTV, and Netflix. If I fumble through the Amazon launcher, I am there, and life is good!

Hmm, just for the record, pretty much every tablet or phone (except a couple of real cheap deals) I have in my household are rooted! So I do see good value in root on those devices.
It's just that I struggle with root utility on Fire TV devices. As in - "why bother?"
I see that the OP likes Xposed Edge for button remapping, so if that's your cup of tea, that's a killer feature to get root for. I myself religiously correct Chrome look on tablets using Xposed/App Settings (link), which very few others seem to care about. But I want to see more of these killer features for Fire TV! Suggestions?
Btw, I am not being adversarial or critical, just very curious. Which itch are people scratching with root on Fire TV???

I sort of see your point, but I think the root version of Mouse Toggle works, while the non-root doesn't. At least that's been my experience. Also, can you block updates without root?

I took no offense to your comments bibikalka. I am inclined to agree that there is a limit of what to do with rooted fire tv especially compared to a phone or tablet. I started this thread to give back to xda who has kept my multiple devices over years rooted. Thread was also done in hopes of getting ideas to do and/or sharing of apps that can be helpful especially now that rooting is allowed for the general masses just not those who were able to jump on board early.

I used mouse toggle without rooted fire tv until i got air mouse remote. Yes you can block updates. If im not mistaken rbox prerooted roms block updates, go to check for system updates and should be stuck on checking for updates. If not go here.

#1 reason I root a fire TV box is so I can use large NTFS drives on the USB port.

Can someone point to me how to fix sd card write permissions. I tried xiinternalsd for xposed but when i open it goes to amazon home screen

yeah i just re read what ya posted i see what ya meant

Imho top reasons for it are Xposed Edge Pro, ad blocking via AdAway (if you use the browser) and finally, the updates issue. While unlikely, it's not impossible for Amazon to get crackin and stop the use of certain third-party apps (NIMH is a giveaway)
Edit: forgot one important one, "debloating" the OS, whether by blocking the startup or disabling packages you don't want/need to give more cpu and memory to apps you do
Without root access, it's Amazon's device; with root access, it's now your device.

For a while, updates could be blocked without root, but Amazon fixed that hole:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/disable-ota-fire-stick-t3667978
But! You want to block updates so you don't lose root, so it's a bit circular. If you don't have root, you don't care, and just update as per Amazon otas. Btw, I do have updates blocked on my fire sticks
Anyway, please keep the conversation going! We should develop a good set of must have features which are only available via root.

The main reason I root now is to debloat. Go as barebones as possible in order to improve performance. I kill all possible services that are absolutely unnecessary. I've removed Amazons GUI and use Appstarter. I just like a clean fast experience.

Thanks for this but u all do know u can connect to a PC wirelessly via adb without root. It's the only way I have ever added apps to my stick. Find your sticks individual ip. Open terminal on a pc, adb connect ipaddress. Then adb devices, a prompt will pop like on your phone asking to allow device or not. Click always or yes whatever. Then u do adb install draganddropwhateverapphere. Loads up in seconds depending on apk size. U can even use your phone if u have the adb platform tools magisk module installed on your phone. I install apps to my stick from my OnePlus 6t

I am saying I never need root or anything to use adb and install apps wirelessly. I have done this for the past year with NO ROOT. Don't need it for sideloading apps. Adb connect ipaddress, then adb install dragdropapp from PC into terminal. No root or magisk needed. I always have a rooted phone and that's where the magisk module comes in.

That is 100% incorrect. I see now you have a reading comprehension disability. I can't imagine how hard that must be for you and I empathize.
Obviously root is needed for magisk modules. I suggested an app to help all those without root.

Ok so the apk file is unnecessary with root since the zip is in charge of that correct? This is actually interesting considering that the Amazon Launcher being disabled with root therefore losing functionality to accessing settings unless you were to use adb commands.

Questions...
So does the Zip need to be flashed?
Then install the APK?
Is the Amazon launcher disable by doing this, or do I have to disable that myself?
Can you easily remove it?

The Zip file is for customize.
SourceCode for Android Studio.
You must disable it .

OK so disable
com.amazon.tv.launcher
?
1. install APK
2. Flash zip ( for customize if you want)
3. disable launcher
The zip, what does it modify and how do you go back?
Sorry for the questions, just want to know what to expect if i have an issue...

Install other Launcher.
For mantis maybe you need FTVLaunchX to start the alternate Launcher.
#adb shell pm disable com.amazon.tv.launcher
Install apk to access the settings without amazon Launcher.
The Zip the SourceCode to build apk.
I hope it is understandable now

Thanks bro, this works perfect with ATV Launcher 0.1.2 now i can access amazon built-in apps on 4k stick.

Thanks for this.
Couple of queries:
Lots of icons on my custom launcher. But all start off at sleep. Is this normal? If so why so many icons?
The command to disable the amazon launcher is not working and I do have root. Any ideas?
Edit: Not to worry about the above. I found a new version that gives me just the one icon
Also found the instructions to delete the amazon launcher so that is good.
Only problem that some might have is installing new apps from the amazon marketplace (or whatever they call it).
Any ideas about how to do this?

Use this Version.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82368799&postcount=1
Amazon Market is not working.
You must sideload the apps.
Also you can push the apps over the Amazon Website to your Stick.
App Updates should be installed automatic.

Thanks for that.
I manage a lot of these sticks. Most I know the Amazon accounts for so will use the web site to push to them if they request new apps.
I will ask for the other account details but if they wont provide them I will send them to the website to install themselves if they want new apps.
It seems Amazon pushed out a new prime Video app today (or I was told about it today) that asks it you want to install it.
Was told it no longer works with this setup if it is installed. Was fine yesterday and no prompt to update then.
Might be a problem with the Prime Video app in general and not this setup, but all my sticks are running these fixes now.
Just tested on one and it is true. Trying to open Prime Video does nothing. Tried both the icons for it (one never worked but now both do not).
Will see if I can roll it back (once I find the original apk).
Thanks for this. So nice not to see the Amazon Launcher at all now.
