FRIGGIN CHAMPION GENIUS IDEA of scottsdca
get Settings.apk from here:
http://www.glassxe.com/2013/05/23/s...-from-the-hacking-glass-session-at-google-io/
UPDATE: original article is gone. check archive.org if you want to read it. but you can still get the Settings.apk here
don't bother with the Launcher2, all it does is crash immediately. although if you have a thing for apps that crash immediately, well then there you go. could be it's a year old and maybe we need to try a 4.2 launcher.
like the article mentions, nearly all of the Settings stuff just crashes (plus, some of it I'd be scared to mess with anyway for fear of messing up spamazon settings)
I don't have any 4.2 devices (aside from ~ firetv obvs), but if anyone else does (like standard-ish non-weird device... e.g. generic tablet or phone?) - would you mind pulling settings and launcher apks please? they might be more suitable and less crashy...
I haven't done much but so far I have a bluetooth speaker paired, connected, and WORKING - sound is coming out the BT speaker and not my TV.
even fired up PrimeTV and sound was as normal, only it was the BT speaker.
xbmc? darn right the sound is coming perfectly out of the BT speaker.
now I turned off the BT speaker, and sound is coming out the TV again. seamless as it should be.
turned the speaker back on, and it autoconnected, all fireTV audio is back on the BT speaker again.
no luck with BT keyboard just yet, and have other settings to still mess with...
(also: the spamazon settings are all still there and all still work as before)
slightly more useless info:
it seems like anything that needs a PIN code still doesn't work.
which is hilarious for 2 reasons:
- the PS3/BD remote does not use a PIN. but so far every android device I have, asks for a PIN for it. the workaround app for anything up to android 4.1.x (i.e. bluez) is great. but firetv is 4.2 and that app doesn't work with the new bluedroid.
- my BT speaker that is currently working (BEM Cube), also does not use any PIN. but it is different somehow, in that android understands in this case, and pairs without asking for any PIN.
Settings shows the BEM Cube's profile as media audio, as expected.
if I try to pair my BT keyboard, the firetv BT settings gives me a PIN to type on the kbd. but the firetv pairing dialog sits there waiting forever no matter how many times I type ####+Enter on the kbd.
if I try to pair my phone, both the phone and the firetv pop up a dialog with matching numbers, but after I press OK on both dialogs, nothing happens. (sometimes the phone says incorrect / missing PIN, afterward. but not always)
if I try to pair my Supertooth Disco speaker, the firetv asks me for a PIN. in this case the PIN is most definitely 0000. but after entering that, nothing happens. not even any error message.
so it seems to be a generic passcode issue? I haven't looked at logcat yet...
I really wanted to try the Disco because it has some extra controls on it. the BEM Cube only has Play/Pause - which does work correctly in both xbmc and PrimeTV.
addition: I found my crappy old Arctic P311 headset (audio has 0.5s lag on every single desktop, laptop, console, phone, etc. I ever tried it on, that's how cheap+awful it is.) - it also happens to be PIN-less (in the good way like the BEM, not the bad way like the BD remote. whatever the hell that means.), and it paired right away with firetv. and then connected with no problem. it has a play/pause button, and also ff + rewind buttons. all the buttons worked as expected in PrimeTV and xbmc. whee.
also, the P311 shows up in Settings with both a media audio profile, and a phone audio profile. nice.
///
after a ton of times connecting/disconnecting the Cube (only because it was stupid fun and made me smile for some reason), started to get a few sound artifacts, some out of sync a/v, and eventually no sound at all on BT (but still perfectly normal sound on HDMI). probably also worth a look at logcat. I also wonder if all the messing around with the other BT devices that all failed, caused any instability.
restarting BT seemed to clean up the audio weirdnesses -
the settings app WILL let you turn BT off and on, just be careful lol. it scared the heck out of me the first time.
- turn BT off. BT goes off. settings app crashes. uh oh! wtf am I gonna do?
- run settings app again. toggle BT on. settings app crashes. oh no! am I seriously screwed now?!
- run settings app again. BT button is blue/on! waow! Thank Crom!

'developer options' was the very first thing I tried - sorry, no dice (
it, and most of the other settings items, only crash the app.
the only things that work (or semi-work), are:
bluetooth
sound (changing the ringtones is ok, but trying the volume setting crashes)
display (didn't try any of these)
battery (uh huh)
location services (uh huh)
security (but no way am I touching any of those)
dock (yeah, no...)
date&time (it's right, why mess with it)
about phone (tells us stuff we already know)
I haven't really tried to change anything in any of those (except bluetooth obvs) - nothing terribly useful to change, so, to me, nothing else there worth the risk of breaking anything.
the unknown sources box is usually found under security not developer options, but that may crash too

duh me, ugh. yeah you are totally right.
ok, so it is there on the security subsection if I scroll to the bottom.
but, yep, it crashes back to the main settings page. that's unfortunate.

no worries it was definitely worth a try.
ok.
so.
I just had a really stupid idea.
even worse, it actually works. but not sure it's worth making a separate post about.
1. turn on adb wifi debugging
2. sideload your favorite terminal, e.g.
http://jackpal.github.com/Android-Terminal-Emulator/downloads/Term.apk
3. fire up said terminal
4. adb connect localhost
(LOL!)
5. profit? profit!
$ adb -s localhost:5555 install foobarbaz.apk
$ adb -s localhost:5555 shell
...
not as quick or classy as unknown sources, but you can do it all within the firetv and don't need an extra phone or computer. so... kinda not too bad?
///
edit:
the reason I use "-s localhost:5555" is that in some cases the firetv already had an existing device listed, "emulator-5554". which may have been the result of not disconnecting adb from my laptop, or just the fooling around I was doing running adbd and adb on the same device, or...?
once you are in the terminal app, run "adb devices" first. if it already shows emulator-5554, then you don't need to connect a second time and can just use adb normally. if it does not show any existing device, then you do need to "adb connect localhost" but then in that case you should not need to specify "-s whatever" and also just use adb normally.

sorry brother, no dice I tried 4.1 and 4.2 versions too, but not really surprised it didn't do much

I tried pairing a keyboard and got a PIN dialog on the FireTV, but entering the PIN on the keyboard failed. adb logcat showed that the pairing request had been cancelled immediately after the dialog appeared. Perhaps some Amazon modification to the low-level Bluetooth stuff? Interestingly, despite being 4.2 based, Amazon are still using the BlueZ stack rather than Google's own implementation.

It is my understanding that Android now tries to auto guess the PIN to make pairing simpler. Perhaps the pin on your cube is 0000 or 1234, the standard pins, hence the non need to pin pair it.

Hi,
Every one the settings apk does work and you can check the unknown sources box to allow installation of any apk without sideloading!!
You need the settings.apk and you have to tweak a system app. Cant give out all my secrets but it works I can install apks from any market, drop box or even when downloading from a web browser.
Fire TV is the stuff!!! Hope fire tv 2.0 offers HD audio and 4k compatibility and of course more memory :good:

Hello all,
The market helper does allow for any installation of any Google Play Store app however does not allow installation from "unknown sources".

My bluetooth mouse is a Razer Pro Click Mobile. There is NO pin for this device and according to razer you can't add one. This should the same issue with other BT devices that don't require a pin.
Things I've Tried:
1. Bluetooth Pairing App, the app is written in japanese and hard to follow but it does fiind my device but never seems to connect. It displays a message at the bottom like #[email protected]&%$ !, but I'm not sure what that error is.
2. Bluetooth Manager ICS, when trying to connect to the device it just calls the jelly bean api it seems and there is no way to enter a blank pin code.
3. Pairing code combinations.. 0000, 00000, 000000, 1111, 11111, 111111, 9999, 99999, 999999, 1234, 12345, 123456.
I used this mouse with my netbook and it worked great but it SHOULD work with the nexus 7. All the OS needs to do is accept no pin devices and I'm good.
Help!??
I would pay for someone to fix this, why would this even be an issue?
I'd be in for a few bucks too. I've got a thread for the same issue, it's a targus though. Works with everything else.
^
Talking to a dev friend of mine, I hope he can get this working as this should be native to the device.
... We can't be the only ones that have this issue ...
Maybe an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/...kaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb21wYXRpYmlsaXR5Y2hlY2tlciJd

How did you pair the device without a PIN? The BT pair is always requiring something there.

My BT mouse doesn't have a PIN just a button on the bottom.
Switch it on, push the 'pair' button and the N7 just pairs.
I've just run through the process twice to be 100% sure. It definitely paired without having to enter a PIN
Gigabyte GM-M7700B
I've always used "0000" to pair my bluetooth mice with Android devices - never had any issues.
Just tried it with my Nexus 7 (Logitech Bluetooth mouse) and it worked perfectly...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
Update: It's working this morning following the same steps that caused the pin number popup the day before. Nothing has changed with my N7 and I haven't rebooted. We'll just call this "user error".
Thanks!!
Having the same issue. Might have to break down and get a mouse that is known to work with the Nexus.
Just got my Razer ProClick mouse to work with SGS3.
At first SGS3 software always promted me for a PIN code and I know that my mouse has none. It wouldn't allow me to input a blanck code...
What I did was I connected a normal USB mouse (well, not really normal - a Cyborg RAT 7 lol) via a micro USB to USB cable then disconnected it. Then I simply tried pairing the Bluetooth mouse again and it didn't ask me for any PIN code! It just paired automatically. Must have picked up some mouse drivers via USB from another mouse, I don't know.... but it works flawlessly now.
Maybe someone will find it helpful...

I got mine today. I ordered it over a week ago. Weird because I didn't get my shipping information until last night, and when I tracked it, it was already out for delivery.
My Measy Air Mouse R11 is screwed though I think. It keeps sliding to the left hand side. I even tried on my PC and it does the same thing. I've tried to resync it and screw with it, but it keeps moving. Very hard to use a mouse that doesn't stay still. The MK808 is fun. I just got it tonight. I haven't had the time to get really crazy with it. Seems to run ok and would be far more enjoyable with a good input device.
Ordered mine today (only $60), if it really works as reviews say, it's quite a bargain
Do you still have problems with the rc11 or are they solved ?

I fixed my Measy Air Mouse R11.
To reset the Gyros, you lay it flat and press and hold LEFT ARROW + G for a few seconds... making sure it is flat. Now it works great.
I'm having some weird issues with some misbehaving apps. Root explorer started freaking out. And now my FPse won't use OpenGL for the life of me. I'm interested in trying the CM10 build for it but the operation requirements are bland. Supposedly it requires CWM recovery, which is supplied but doesn't give specifics how or what order or process to get it done.
I have to say that it is a fun unit to work with and chews through FPse roms. I'm surprised how well it runs for a chinese chipset.
Flashing is a bit of a chore and instructions aren't very clear, so I'll post them here:
With the unit OFF:
Insert a paper clip into the reset hole and press it in and HOLD IT down.
Awkwardly insert the MicroUSB-PC cable into the OTG. This will power the unit and it should boot into Flash mode given you've held the paperclip down properly.
Trying to install eGalax Touch Screen linux driver
I'm trying to install the eGalax Touch Screen driver for Linux 2.6 that came with my liliput 7 inch touch screen. The touch screen is for use in my car. Using the mk802 II or ug808 to replace my audio system. I just need to get the driver installed. The driver installation script is looking for the locations "usr/local" and "usr/bin", but the only "usr" directory I can find is in "system/usr"... I'm not sure if I should use that location and create the local and bin directories there or not. But when I created the usr/local and usr/bin at the same level as system (which is in the "mnt" directory which is also at the same level as "root" directory (btw, I cannot find a "home" directory), the install seemed to work fine using Better Terminal Pro android app with the bash shell. However, when I restarted the device, the "usr" directory that I create was gone, so the driver install was wiped apparently, and the usb HDMI touch screen still does not work... I can post the bash script if that helps. This is the last thing I need to get this to work, then I can have a full Android ICS system in my car. Thanks in advance.
FYI The HDMI works great to view and use a usb mouse or the RII keyboard. they work great. It's just the touch screen input does not work. It used to when I first turned on the device with the touch screen on, but the x-y coordinates were reversed, hence attempting to install the driver. I have ICS compiled from source and may attempt to add the drivers into it and create an img to them load on the mk802 II, but I fear that I'll loose any proprietary hardware drivers that came with the mk802 II.
I also wanted to make a img backup using ROM Manager, but ClockworkMod is not available for the MK802 II. ANy leads on this would help. Been researching and testing this for a month now.

Ordered on the 26th for 65$ (actually cost £42 through paypal),
they shipped on the 29th (tracking never worked).
And it arrived on the 6th. So quicker than expected.
I've applied the firmware update which was a slightly newer build of 4.1. Mentioned in both these places (applied the tweaked one from deadhp1 for the play store location fix in case needed)

It now seems to play any avi / mkv / mp4 i've given it (usually on a usb stick or micro SD). It happily plays avi's over the network (using ES file explorer).
Its definitely better than the out of sync UG802 which wasn't quite right and the power lead came out too easily.
I use the custom stock video app (seems to come with most of the RockChip devices) and MX player (it looks a lot nicer)

It is a mini PC that has HDMI output. Your TV must have a vacant HDMI input so you can plug the mini PC into it. My TV supports 1080p. And so I can set the output resolution on the mini PC to 1080p. But it also could be set to 720p as well. These don't come with any display so you have to plug it in to your TV or a monitor that supports HDMI. The audio is pushed through the HDMI as well. To control it you can use a USB mouse and/or USB keyboard. Your cheap wireless mouse will work but the USB ports do not have power to them so I've had to use a powered USB hub to make my wireless keyboard work further than a foot away from the USB dongle for the keyboard. The hub also allows you to plug in other devices like a USB camera. But the ones that work are somewhat limited , be aware. Does that help you understand it?

probably you will need the kernel sources. also, you need root access. that error (directories that get lost after reboot) might be due to yo need to remount the /system partition in rw mode (by default is ro) and perhaps you will neet to do some symlinks on /bin to /system/xbin.
other thing you..must get in considwration is that android is different from linux.. and that you might need to compile the kernel module, such thiing im not sure that is posible from within the device itself...
or.. i just might be way off track, in which case jyst dismiss my answer

just so you know it doesn't have built in bluetooth.
if you need bluetooth google for imito mx1. this one seems to be the best mk808 model so far. i got mine last month but haven't tried bluetooth yet. antutu gives a score around 6500. it's a nice toy to play with on bigscreen tvs.
I read up on this one. Good vid review at http://youtu.be/X8pozwuAq7w
Anyone know the spec diff between this and the MX2?
and is geekbuying the best seller for this device or ???

can anyone comment on this non-support of XBMC for Rockchip? and if not Rockchip, which stick-PC gets it right?
one comment also that I would like more info on is that both iMITO units underperform compared to MK808
"Lack of XBMC support for HD hardware acceleration is a major issue that Rockchip needs to address if they want to keep selling SoC chips to the Stick PC mfgrs. Stick PC makers need 2 take action on this as well and if Rockchip won't play ball, they need to consider alternative SoC. We need more processing power anyway to get close to current smart-phone level and play the latest 3D games."
WORK IN PROGRESS: UPDATING
STOP PRESS: FIRESTARTER 3.0 RELEASED. SANITY RESTORED.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/app-root-home-launcher-replacement-app-t3118135
Before sending your Fire TV/Stick back to Amazon in disgust, beware of its limitations, and try these tips.
Bottom line is it's going to be a solid step up from Fire TV 1. But right now, it has a few issues.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: the angry reviews. Almost all the complaints are about the glitchy remote (we have a fix), battery cover (sometimes the customer isn't always right), audio issues (Amazon is patching, stay tuned). No question, it's got some bugs out of the gate, but Amazon has responded and hopefully all will be resolved shortly . Enjoy:
http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-DV83YW-Fire-TV/product-reviews/B00U3FPN4U/
Fire TV 2: hardware shortcomings by design that many regard as substandard.
If these are important, you might need to look elsewhere.
1. USB 2.0 not even USB 3.0. USB-C is the new standard appearing on phones and laptops.
2. Ethernet 10/100 not GB.
3. No optical port. Possible solution: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B010JQMHNW/?
4. HDMI 1.4, not HDMI 2.0, limited to 4K at 30fps.
Software bugs and annoyances, most probably due to OS 5, but yet to be confirmed.
Could be fixed either by Amazon or developers.
1. Audio limited to stereo other than for Amazon Prime. Quiet audio.
As promised, Amazon has released a patch (extremely quickly):
“By this coming Monday, October 12th, you will receive an automatic software update that enables Dolby Digital Plus for customers who have a Dolby Digital Plus system (including support for Netflix and Amazon Video). An update for older Dolby Digital systems (not Dolby Digital Plus) will be distributed on November 30th.” -Amazon
Update from AFTVNews:
One of the new device’s largest complaints, a lack of Dolby Digital surround sound support, which has been partially fixed already, stems from changes made to support Netflix. I’m told by my source at Amazon that Netflix gave the Fire TV engineering team a new version of their software at the last minute which required changes to the Fire TV’s software to work correctly. Those changes conflicted with Dolby Digital surround sound support. With not enough time to fix support for both, Amazon was faced with the decision to ship without Netflix or without Dolby Digital surround sound. They chose the latter which, in my opinion, was the right choice.
http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-is-d...-internal-testing-pool-for-bug-fixing-effort/
2. Fire TV 2 WiFi Remote drops out, glitchy, lags, etc.
Do this when setting up if you're connecting via Ethernet: disconnect your LAN cable, connect to WiFi, reconnect your network cable.
And then do this anytime if your remote becomes laggy: disconnect Ethernet cable, reconnect Ethernet cable.
That should fix it. Really, it's usually that simple.
If not, there could be interference, you could try changing channels or frequency on your router or restrict the available protocols (just N or AC, for example). Let us know if you're still having problems.
3. Highly inconvenient to launch Kodi and other sideloaded apps.
Long story, somewhat shortened: The Fire OS only shows icons for apps obtained from Amazon's App Store. That, unfortunately, doesn't include Kodi, everyone's favourite media player, and about 99% of the reason the AFTV has a cult following. There have been two popular ways to get around Amazon's belligerence: by having Kodi launch as proxy of another app (usually Ikono TV) using Llama; or by employing Firestarter to bind it to the Home button.
Both can be loaded via ADFire.
Unfortunately, Llama no longer works (for this purpose) in OS5/AFTV2, so skip that route and install FireStarter:
ADBFire : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786505
FireStarter http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/app-root-home-launcher-replacement-app-t3118135
Kodi: http://kodi.tv
I recommend mapping the Home Button single click to Kodi, and the Home button double-click to Amazon Home. Or if you'd prefer to use Firestarter as your home screen, then map it to the double-click. The added bonus to this setup is every time you're in Kodi and hit the Home button inadvertently, instead of losing your **** yet again, it'll just flash in and out of the app and then pause whatever you're watching.
Here's a guide on sideloading to the Fire. Again, I strongly recommend ADBFire:
http://www.aftvnews.com/sideload/
If you have an Android tablet or phone, there are several apps that can push apps across to the Fire, such as Apps2Fire. That way you can download your apps direct from the official Google Play Store. Don't forget they won't automatically update. You'll need to push those updates across as well.
4. Can't connect via ADB to sideload using ADBFire etc since using FireStarter
First up: make sure you have ADB enabled. Settings>System>Developer Options> Both ADB Debugging and Apps from Unknown Sources need to be On.
FireStarter has two methods of intercepting Home button presses: one using ADB, and one not using ADB. The issue that's arisen since the introduction of Fire OS 5 is that the operating system no longer permits parallel ADB connections, so if FireStarter is using it to intercept Home button presses, you won't be able to connect to the Fire TV using ADB, and thus you won't be able to sideload apps and files using ADBFire.
We now have two options:
Option 1 (Firestarter won't use ADB): Open FireStarter, under Settings, uncheck "Home Detection via ADB."
Advantage: You only need ADB enabled to connect with ADBFire. No need to touch FireStarter.
Disadvantage: Only detects your customized Home button choices within the Fire TV's home screen, and not within apps. Pressing Home within Kodi, for example, will return you to the Home screen. Pressing it again will send you back to Kodi (or whatever action you've chosen. A potential advantage is this now gives you three variants of the Home button: a single and double-click from the Home screen; and the traditional Fire TV Home shortcut from within any app.
Option 2: (FireStarter uses ADB): Open FireStarter, check "Home Detection via ADB"
Advantage: FireStarter will now obey your Home button choices (single and double-click) from anywhere.
Disadvantage: You will either need to kill FireStarter (see below) or temporarily revert to Option 1 in order to do your ADB stuff. Note: there's now a handy shortcut direct to the ADB Debugging toggle within FireStarter.
Tip: If you go with Option 2, you can quickly kill FireStarter's grip on ADB by going: Settings>Manage Applications>FireStarter and Force Stop. And then restarting FireStarter or the Device once you've finished your ADB business.
5. External storage limited to disks formatted in FAT32.
There's no reason why Amazon couldn't enable other formats, but there's little incentive to bother. Even Macs don't support NTFS out of the box. Either format your drives in FAT32 (and split larger files if necessary) or move them to a network share. Not hard to work around. Here's a tip:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-play...b-off-the-fire-tvs-fat32-usb-storage-in-kodi/
6. Difficult to remove battery cover?
No it's not. Slide it back then lift it up. Dead easy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3t1GOCzjzY&
7. Can't move Kodi to external storage.
http://www.aftvnews.com/some-apps-like-kodi-cannot-write-to-external-storage-yet-on-fire-os-5/
Upgrade to Jarvis (still in alpha but perfectly acceptable).
8. LED only glowing when it detects a remote button press
Either a bug or a new way of doing things. Either way, it's not ideal.
9. Can't Chromecast from Android device to Fire TV
Yes, you can cast from Youtube, but nothing else (that I can find). Blame Google for that:
http://www.aftvnews.com/google-has-chromecast-receiver-app-pulled-from-fire-tv-appstore/
You can, however, Airplay to it. Via Kodi is one method, that usually works, but can be flaky sometimes. There are a bunch of apps you can try. Some work better than others. I picked up this one when it was free, it works:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/x9F99-x65B9-x513F-AirReceiver/dp/B00L5HQRGS/

I would add to the list:
Issues with day 1 software update, (several resets, issues to get working)
Wifi remote constantly cuts on/off (taking out batteries seems like temp fix)
Stutters in apps like WatchESPN
Second the dropping of lama/kodi icon support
Despite better hardware, little change in actual performance (yet to be fully seen)

Thanks for this. I was criticized elsewhere for bringing up some shortcomings of 2. I am very interested in the gizmo you linked that breaks off the 5.1 via Optical and 2ch mini-jack from the HDMI stream. The product dates back to 2013 which makes me skeptical. I've bought a few of these that did not work. I have 4 port Monoprice HDMI switch that has the 5.1 and 2ch breakout. It disappoints as it is 5.1 OR 2ch, not both. The one's I have had tried similar to your post would pass sound to all six speakers but it was in reality Stereo which will fool some people. The clue for me is, does the blue Dolby light come on? A quick test for DD Plus handling is "House of Cards". If you get a blue light viewing that, it's good to go. It's been almost a year since I last fooled with them so maybe there is something that is NEW and works.
I am still looking for one that really works. The only thing I know that splits off 5.1, for real, is 1's Optical connector.
What's funny is that I pitched my Roku3 over the DD+ impasse. Now Roku4 is coming out and it HAS an optical connector.
I have an Echo/Alexa too and waiting to see how all that works out with my 1 if it does at all. I'm rooted so unless Rbox comes through, I'm out of luck. Right now my Echo is pretty much a party novelty but it can now control my Nest and Insteon devices. Just found the most useful feature is using it as a meat timer.
It's a shame 2 isn't all of 1 but better and more.
I had problems with the connection with my remote too.
Are you used ethernet at the first start to connect with your router? Never set up wifi connection?
Try this
1. disconnect fire tv from ethernet
2. connect fire tv to wifi
3. reconnect the remote to fire tv
4. connect fire tv to ethernet again
for me i think it works... I am not 100% sure because the connection lost was very rare before. but give it a try.. :laugh:
There are huge issues with the WiFi the gain on the 5GHz 802.11ac is terrible in addition to issues above. I sent two of them back. Returning all of them is the only way Amazon will fix this!
I hate to say it, but it's looking like a lemon.
Edit: things are looking much better today.
What is an "Accessory Port". On my 1 I use a little dongle called Flirc to allow my Logitech Harmony One unified remote to control it. Needed it to feed the "Menu" command to 1. I now have a Harmony Ultimate with Hub and just imported the same settings.
I wonder if 2's "Accessory port" will allow a Flirc dongle to support unified IR remotes. Also wonder if it is even necessary with the 2. The Ultimate remote is still totally IR but the Hub is WiFi allowing it to talk to some smart devices. Guess I could test but hate to fix something that ain't broke. That's the main reason I'm afraid of 2. See no benefit except for 4K and I don't have that. My 1 setup works pretty well.
What I want to do is ditch my $160/mo DirecTV bill and replace it with another DVR option. SBC (aka AT&T) ate them and nothing good will come from that. "Repeating" myself, the Tivo Bolt is intriguing. Would replace FireTV and DirecTV. On the other hand, my rooted 1 with Nova Launcher and a Logitech K400 KB is a pretty nice little big screen Android box.
Nothing is just right.

A page back i posted a method to fix that if you are used ethernet cable at the first start o AFTV2.
Try this
1. disconnect fire tv from ethernet
2. connect fire tv to wifi
3. reconnect the remote to fire tv
4. connect fire tv to ethernet again
For me no connection losts between remote control and AFTV2 after a couple of hours.
I know the Apple TV was looming, but I don't get why Amazon felt the need to rush this out so fast. There just really isn't a reason to refresh a video streaming device annually. I understand they wanted to beat Apple to 4K, but looks like it cost them this time. I am sure updates will make it better, but this box might be the dud when we look back and the history of these things. I just hope it doesn't flop so bad they stop future revisions.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to let it be for a couple of days, then try your fix. Otherwise, I won't know it it helped.
Been trying to get it to detect the bluetooth remote from my other Fire TV but not having any luck.
EDIT: Great tip, seems to have done the trick! Added to list.
I sent mine back. I can't believe that the newer Fire TV performs much worse than my 1st Gen Fire TV. Here is what I find annoying.
Remote cover is very hard to open. Broke my nail and it took me nearly a half hour to get it open. Once it is open it is much easier after.
Remote freezes and stops responding. Have to take out batteries and put them back in. At first I though the unit froze but my BT keyboard works fine. Had to use that quite often.
Netflix no 5.1 surround sound. Also it takes much longer to get up to 1080p. On my old Fire TV 1080p instantly and if not just restart the stream. On the 2nd gen Fire TV mud quality sub 480p which can take up to 40 seconds or longer to get to 1080p unless I fast forward and rewind the stream but then it ends up ruining what I am watching when there are spoilers in the beginning of the program.
Other third party apps actually run worse. They stutter and skip frames like trying to watch a HD video on a Celeron PC from 2008.
The external storage option is a joke. First thing is they should have included more than 8gb of internal storage because the external microSD is useless. I moved all the apps and games I can to the external storage however most apps and some games still store at least half the data on internal storage so even then I was already running low on space while my 64gb microSD barely used any space.
Box runs much warmer than before and I have it on a cooling pad.
To me the picture quality seems worse. I don't have a 4k TV just 1080p but the picture is much darker and reds look more pixelated.
That is what I can think of off the bat but in the end I ended up sending it back like many others and I see a recall soon from Amazon. They should have never released this thing as the 1st Gen Fire TV was pretty much perfect. Yes it had issues when it first came out mainly the once outdated Netflix app and having to occasionally clear the Amazon video data app when it would not play but otherwise it performed much better than this new thing does.
It's looking like under OS5, external storage is sandboxed as read-only to Kodi. The same seems true of Android TV (Nvidia Shield), so I suppose it's a Lollipop security issue. If I'm right, this means no moving Kodi data/thumbnails to external storage and using the /sdcard/xbmc_env.properties to redirect. Can anyone confirm/disprove this?
Had to do a factory reset on my headunit because it wouldn't boot. After factory reset the mirroring app is gone. Contacted support and they let me know once it has been reset, it's too late. Can someone try backing the app up to an APK and uploading to see if I can use it?
I can do it for ya tomorrow.

The mirror app has not gone (only the shortcut from jeg desktop has gone) you just have to install it again from the OEM icon on the units desktop. Select the OEM icon, select APK and find the Easyconnect app in the listing. Push it to install it.

W.... Wow. I contacted the customer support and they said "Once the unit has been factory reset you will not be able to use the connect function anymore"
Thank you, gentleman and scholar! It does not want to see to want to connect to my phone but I'll chalk that up to the program being buggy and needing a different USB cable.

BTW i haven't succeeded either in connecting my iPhone using the connect function. No big deal, I can't se what i would use it for. Almost any program i could think of mirroring to the unit can be installed directly on the unit, so why bother with mirroring

Yes it is, and it is working:good:
Can you confirm either installing from the OEM folder, or the download worked? I want to install malaysk ROM, but I have the same issue, need the mirroring, and now joying have also responded "fac reset will erase license and you only get 1". I really dont get this approach, they shpuld give better info, but anyway, hoping you had an update on this.
Also, how well does it work overall? I am just getting started, so any heads up would be great.
I had the Easy Connect app working fine with my phone prior to installing Malaysk's ROM. After reinstalling Easy Connect, I had my phone connect once, then the HU told me that the cable was bad, and now I cannot connect at all (Keep getting 0x11 error).
Any suggestions on how to make it work again?
I can now state that installing Malaysk's ROM and reinstalling Easy Connect does work*. I am pleased to say that I have used the screen mirroring to my satisfaction. (But, I cannot say what happened to get it to work, it just kind of happened).
Unfortunately, the phone initially goes into "Drive Mode" which, aside from being annoying, does not allow use of the Head Unit's screen. So, I must fiddle with my phone even longer in order to get out of that mode so I can use the mirroring correctly.
I also have not found a good way to force the phone to be in landscape mode. The one app I found that put it into that mode correctly had issues that interfered with other phone features to such an extent that I decided removing the app was my best option.
*This assumes the phone and Head Unit paired in the first place. My first Head Unit (Single Core) would never pair at all (before or after root).
My phone (HTC M8) just updated to the latest ROM (Marshmallow, maybe), and now Easy Connected does not work. It goes through all the motions, but the Head Until stays dark. Hopefully something changes soon.

Hey, this is kind of a stupid question but.....along similar kinda thought, when I connect my phone via USB to my car, is there a way I could see and change the stock parameters in the sound system to something more like my liking. I use wavelet with my phone and when I plug in with USB in the car to drive even the car is effected. Without the wavelet it doesn't sound the same. I'm wanting to see if I can somehow do that so I don't gotta plug my phone in with wavelet. Cause sometimes wavelet acts funny.
