....install from zip
If the process is the same on aftv then use adbfire to push the SprtsDvl zip to your storage.
Then on xbmc? Assuming your running that on the aftv..since you didnt make any mention of just stated you wanted to install on aftv.
Anyway.
Xbmc go to settings/addons/install from zip/sd or storage/bottom of list will be your zip/install/enjoy.

i try that and put error script, no dependeance error too, if you have one plugins work with that method please share.

Ill assume its because its not playing well with sportsdevil

If you happen to have Sports Devil running on another device with XBMC on it (ipad, ect) you can download XBMC Backup on that device and perform a backup of your XBMC. I saved the file to my NAS. Then download XBMC Backup on your Fire TV and do a restore. I have done this on multiple boxes and sticks and it works great.

How i can backup on me pc to pass to xbmc amazon fire tv, if its possible, can put the stetps to do please.
Thanks

I am using adbFire and found this same sequence on line. I cannot get it to work. I go into the program, push the zip to add ons or sd card (tried both) and it just does not appear on the kodi on the fire tv. I have looked in every folder and can't find it. I started with root/sd card since that's what I saw elsewhere. Any ideas?

You can just download it on your Fire TV then unzip it and move the folder to your addons folder. People are still updating the sportsdevil addon and there are a few places that you can find the updates. The latest version is 1/15/2015. Just google it to find the download.

I couldn't find a recent link either. I found a page with many sportsdevil video plugin zips but when I push it to aftv it doesn't show up for some odd reason. I tried pushing to different locations. I understand not posting those links but if a pm is ok I'd like to get it working, but it's not urgent because I mostly use it for baseball games in spring/summer.

Here is the repo for sports devil

Wow.... I rooted my kfhd using adb commands manually. Thanks to Revs video.
I have no idea where you went wrong. Aren't you supposed to use 2 tools to completely root the kfhd? What is "señarate"? You may want to post this in the thread where you got your root advice. You can check out the Kindle Fire First Aide tool (link in my signature ) which may help you start over from scratch.
Good Luck!

Sideload Ouya Store on any android Device

i originally posted the steps on the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/ouya-store-amazon-fire-tv-t2806575
I was able to install the Ouya store on the Amazon Fire TV but you can grab those apks and install it on any android device, press the home key and select the ouya launcher (there is an ouya app that gets install that wont work because it checks your device) log in with your Outa account.

Amazing work. I used it to install it to my Note 3. It worked fine and I can install games and everything. Only one problem; the controller is completely messed up. Is there anyway to properly configure the controller, so that the "O" is actually "O", etc...?
Thanks in advance...

You need to be rooted. Copy the OUYA controller kl file to your system/usr/keylayout/ folder on your note then reboot. That should map your OUYA controller the same on your device as it is on the OUYA.
Here's a link to download the kl file.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9mcZwWJuSpBRjNqRDVvWlhNOWs/edit?usp=sharing
I went to the keylayout folder on the OUYA and founds many kl files, which one should I transfer to my phone?
I added a download link to my post above. I believe it is vendor_2836_product_0001.kl.

I added the file but do I need to delete the rest of the files? I tried to play The Amazing Frog (the kids love it), but the frog keeps rounding around itself and the L and R buttons do not work as supposed. I will still try to other games and report back...
Make sure you put the file in the correct location then reboot. The kl file won't be loaded until you have restarted your device. I've only tried 10-15 games on my tablet so far but haven't ran into any problems yet. Don't delete any of the other files, they are for different controllers.

I found out what I was doing wrong; the permissions of the kl file. They were totally off and when I when I changed them to rw-r--r-- , it went fine and everything worked great.
The problem is still in the menu button. It goes directly to the home screen, but that's pretty much acceptable at this point.
Again, I wanna say thank you so much for your support...
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Somehow I've never had that problem. I haven't had the permissions change on me when copying. It's always been my own file though used through the cloud so maybe that has something to do with it. Glad you got it working.
On a side note. My nexus 5 running android l didn't like the ouya launcher. Probably because of art. The first time I ended up in a boot loop but it could have also been a combination of me messing with other stuff too.

Couldn't have done it without you. If you find a solution for the "U" main center button, let me know. It acts as "home" button and always takes me to the home screen.
again, thanks...

What are you wanting that button to be set as? You can change it to be whatever kind of button input you want in the kl file. Just open it in a text editor.
It should represent the menu button, not the home button. I'll try playing with the kl file and let you know.
By the way, I use the baxy launcher instead of the normal ouya launcher. This way, I keep my home launcher as it is and then use this app as a launcher for the store. I guess I read in your thread for the fire TV that you need to disable the home launcher to be able to launch the ouya one. Try that out...
For some reason every time I try to install the apk's I get a parsing error. Has anyone else encountered this? I've redownloaded the zip multiple times with the same problem each time.

Does it let you unzip the package? I haven't ever tried to extract it. Just open in es and you can install them without extracting.
Here's another link to the zip to try.

What device are you trying and are you rooted?
I have a rooted Nook HD+ and I'm using Nova launcher. I have tried downloading directly to the device and also transferring the apks from my PC. That link you provided yields the same results unfortunately but thanks for trying.

Could be the stock nook rom. Even rooted it doesn't work with a lot of hacks. There's some good ROMs for it if you have a custom recovery.

I had a Nook HD before and I had a CM ROM on it and it worked like a charm. Don't fear it, just do a backup before trying anything. It turned it into a real tablet. I returned to the stock only to sell it.
Anyway, here are the apks without zipping. Who knows?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I'm not able to install any apps on the fire stick using the tool. Command window just states,

Waited for about an hour and tried again but no luck.
I have turned on for ADB and installation of unknown apps on the fire stick. Also both the computer is on the the same network. Any advice?

Yes, thank you. I had to do it through the terminal to get it to work. Couldn't get it to work using the Amazon Fire TV Utility App. Also I had to be in the folder where the Android SDK was in the C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder that contained fastboot.
Es File Explorer Sideloading without adbfire (after installing it at the fire stick)
I have been able to install apk without using any adb shell after installing ES file explorer and settings apk. You need to open ESFE in the FSTV and in your android device , go to apps in the ESFE fast menu, select those you want to share, select send, select the device with ''ip address: AFTM'' and click send., that will promp your ESFE at the FSTV. Choose the Downloads folder to receive the files, open the location and install those apks.
Download wukong TV ROMOTE Control ( typo is there ) from the market, look and the screen shoots for some ideas and enjoy your new FSTV mouse.
Thanks to all of you for your know hows and turn the FSTV into a SUPERIOR experience.

That's a false positive... TowelRoot which is what we all use for Rooting is the only thing that gets flag as an exploit/trojan... Since TowelRoot is included in the package the FTV gets flagged incorrectly.. Unless you've downloaded from a different link then the two links in the OP's post... Then there is nothing to worry about. FTV Utility v0.36 or any of the other versions have any viruses... I am using Eset Smart Security to check...
TR.apk = TOWEL ROOT.. PLEASE DO NOT SPREAD MISINFORMATION..... FTV IS FULLY SAFE TO USE. PERIOD. (You can test this by deleting TR.apk from the apps folder & running the test again.. No False positive then.)

[Extension] APK Downloader for Amazon Appstore

Hi there,
I'm redphx, author of the original APK Downloader for Google Play.
Last year I asked if you guys want a similiar extension but for Amazon Appstore, and seemed like some of you may use it, so I decided to take some time to make it.
Today I released APK Downloader for Amazon Appstore. It's still in beta state, so I need you guys to test it. You can see how to use it by watching this demo video
Some notes:
- Only tested with amazon.com domain, Chrome 43 for Mac.
- Upon logging in, this extension will add a new Android device with Samsung S5's specs into your Appstore account. This means you can't download exclusive apps for Kindle. In later versions I'll add more devices.
- You can't download incompatible apps or paid apps, even you own it, but you still can download FAotD apps.
- All downloaded files will be saved in <DOWNLOAD_FOLDER>/appstore-apk-downloader/ folder.
[to be updated...]
Note: This extension is still in beta state. If it doesn't work for you, please don't leave bad review but contact me instead (since I can't reply to your review). Thanks.
Hope you'll find it useful
Sorry for my English.

I tried it out and it said the app was incompatible (turns out it was a kindle exclusive.) but after that the download apk button wouldn't show up anymore.

would you please add the option to recognize the downloader as kindle fire devide and/or fire TV? cause some app is only available for kindle (like official youtube) and not compatible with '2nd android device', in this case, it can't be downloaded.

I'm trying to install it manually ("load upacked extension"), like described on the page, but Chrome doesn't allow it.
Error message:
---
Error Loading Extension:
Failed to load extension from: ~\Downloads\a
Appstore APK Downloader (extension ID "aepjngaoljfgobnongiemfiokjfkkblh") is blocked by the administrator.
---
Any hints how to install now?
Will this let you use the apks without having the amazon app store installed and logged in?
Wherever I tried manually backing them up from another phone, and using them with a different phone, they would not start, because it would call back to the store app, and tell me to install it before I could use it.
Solution
If the extension is not working (e.g. incompatible app extension). Use old portable versions of chrome.
Use this one: Google Chrome 43.0.2349.2 Portable
Hope you'll find it useful.
Any chance to get device type and other params for fire tv?

So, I've :
Downloaded the Portable Chrome you linked to
Logged in to Amazon
Set up the extension (says it is my 12th device! )
Gone to the app, clicked download and....
...Still getting incompatible app extension.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Push Get App then go back and refresh (F5) the page and you will see Download APK.
Which app you cant download?

[Guide] Convert Shield Tablet into a dedicated Android TV

What works
Leanback Launcher
Leanback App Buttons (you may still want Sideload Launcher for some things)
Leanback Recommendations
HDMI-CEC (insofar as my TV supports it YMMV)
Shield Controller, including right thumbstick as mouse
Ten Foot experiences for applications that check for it
What doesn't work
Cast Receiver
Probably other things, this is a work in progress
What's needed
ADB access - If you don't have the Android SDK you can just use Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Stock 5.0 OTA (Android 7.0 Nougat) - I don't know how necessary this is but it's what I used.
Root
TWRP or some means of flashing a zip
Open GApps arm tvstock
Step 1 - Debloat
First we need to get rid of a number of things that we won't need, or will get in the way. Use debloat.zip for this. I actually like to run this initially, as well as after Gapps are installed. The script file inside is copied in the spoiler below.

delete_recursive("/system/vendor/app/nvidiafeedback");
delete_recursive("/system/vendor/app/nvpowerstats");
delete_recursive("/system/vendor/app/watercolor");
ui_print("Finish");
Step 2 - TV Permissions
Some apps with ten foot experiences are packaged and distributed separately from their mobile/tablet counterparts (like Twitch and ESPN). Others, package all experiences together and ask for permissions at runtime (like PBS Video and PBS Kids). The attached tv_permissions.zip file adds these, as well as android.software.picture_in_picture in order to prevent an exception when the home button is double tapped.
Step 3 - Settings activity is now broken
This is because our conflicted device is looking for the ribbon at the top of the settings activity, but it doesn't exist in the tv layout. fixes.zip patches Settings.apk to include the ribbon in the tv layout.
If you have issues with this, try running debloat and tv_permissions, boot the device, then go back to recovery and flash fixes.zip.
Step 4 - Open GApps tvstock
Big thanks to the Open GApps guys for this one. I cheated a bit here and instead of adding the packages one-by-one to be removed in the debloat script, I manually removed a number of tars from the zip file. I'll fix this, I promise but in the meantime open up the zip file and remove the following:
GApps/castreceiver-arm.tar.lz
GApps/gamepadpairing-arm.tar.lz
GApps/livechannels-arm.tar.lz
GApps/talkback-arm.tar.lz
GApps/tvmovies-arm.tar.lz
GApps/tvmusic-arm.tar.lz
GApps/tvplaygames-arm.tar.lz
Core/bugreport-all.tar.lz
Core/googlebackuptransport-all.tar.lz
Core/googlecontactssync-all.tar.lz
Core/gsfcore-all.tar.lz
Core/notouch-all.tar.lz
Core/setupwraith-all.tar.lz
...or don't if you want to experiment with Google Play Services, but that's not my cup of tea on a TV device. Early builds saw hangouts messages popping up while my wife and I were watching tv (ugh). By the way anything you do with any of this knowledge your sole responsibility.
Other Minutiae
Use the SPMC fork if you use Kodi. You will get recommendations/now playing, among other things.
Some apps may look for Play Services at runtime (I had this with Twitch, for example). If you don't want GPS/GSF I can verify that microG works for this. I used Lanchon's Haystack for signature spoofing. This required Linux and the Android SDK, but there are other ways to accomplish signature spoofing, I just didn't try them.
You'll need some means of downloading app packages without Play Store on your device. I used Raccoon and DummyDroid with the build.prop from Shield Android TV and this user agent string:
Code:
'Android-Finsky/6.5.08.D-all (versionCode=80650800,sdk=23,device=foster,hardware=foster_e,product=foster,build=NRD90M:user)'
Originally, I wanted to do this as a custom AOSP or Lineage-based rom. Some of the issues I ran into were beyond my reckoning and I decided to cut bait and use stock. Lineage does work though, you'll just be sacrificing HDMI-CEC and Granular HDMI audio volume (Steel01 got HDMI audio working though, so big props there).
One thing that was bugging me was that the Shield Controller won't wake the tablet when the tablet is on batter power, even if you have it set to leave wifi on when sleeping. The following setting will fix this:
Code:
adb shell settings put system com.nvidia.blakepairing.agoAlwaysOn 1

Put em up, I was just thinking about converting mine with my Chromecast for mobdro, TV portal, and terrarium app. I already have a roku box and a Chromecast, but I'm curious how you converted yours. Thanks!

Thanks
set my spare shield up with kodi and its fine, i even still game on it occasionally. it's always hooked up so, why not?

Yeah I'm planning on sharing but I wanted to gauge interest. Also I've never posted here and either I don't have permissions or I'm having PEBKAC issues with posting attachments.

I'll be trying this with 5.1 OTA next
i have gotton the sheild game hub from the stock nvidia sheild tv firmware to install and work with this mod. i also use the ps4 controller via bluetooth for my remote in console mode. i cant figure out how to install the Google play store on this mod. can someone help me get it to install and work.

nice. Thanks for the feedback.
I haven't been down the play store road, but I would start by installing the tvstock gapps package without removing gsfcore (maybe others?) and don't run the debloat zip after you do so.

the tv gapps dont even have google play within the zip so we have too figure out how to install the android tv google play store on this mod we will be all set to go. i have all the system files from the stock nvidia shield tv on my pc trying to swap files to see what i can mimic. but the shield games for the nvidia shield tv works perfectly on this mod.im also trying to see if i can install the stock shield tv firmware on the shield k1. i can get the boot,recovery,system img's to flash successfully but it taking forever to boot. so it seems it dont work but i will keep trying.
So u can install stock Android shield TV games on this mod aye

also this mod works with the 5.1.1 OTA and the 6.0.1 OTA. and the lastest firmware but its a little buggy for me. aslo is there any way to make a uninstaller.zip for this mod. im also still having a hard time to get google play store installed
It would be so great if someone could pack this all up into a flashable ROM. That's something out of my abilities, could someone pretty please make it happen?

If this were an aosp-based build, I would do it. But since its stock, I didn't feel comfortable doing it. There are some things I should probably do to take some of the steps out and make it easier though.
@brandonlee96, since this deletes a number of stock apks, I'd need to pack them up to put them back to make an uninstaller, which I don't want to do for the same reasons as above. You can do what I do and just make a twrp backup of stock to go back to.
@brandonlee96 Here's your play store problem. TubeSky is missing when tvstock runs on a tablet device. So you need to change this line in your build.prop
Code:
ro.build.characteristics=tablet
to this
Code:
ro.build.characteristics=tv
before flashing tvstock.
After that, make sure you delete SetupWraith, because it will perpetually crash and restart on boot. I haven't tested it any further than that.

im doing that right now! i will let you know the results.
Apparently play store will auto update itself to the intended device's version. Getting the leanback (TubeSky) version to stay likely involves spoofing your device as an android tv to the play store (via build.prop and/or other means). I don't think I want to devote any more time to play store for now, when apks can be pulled from another device or via Raccoon.

What did you have in mind?
Hi, great thread! Will defenitly be trying this out in the next couple days... but i have a few questions. .
Does GFN work?
Does the system UI mimic ATV? Like the settings menu etc..?
Can we tell the battery level when unplugged?
Also, regarding build.prop edits to mimic the ShieldTV, i haven't changed build.prop to mimic anything in like 4 years haha! so I'm a little rusty, can you kindly show me what lines need changing to successfully spoof the STV?
Also, may be worth adding the Playstore is now working to the OP and credit @brandonlee96 haha
Great work guys! This looks amazing.
