I've not had a chance to test it yet.
SPMC 16.1.1 doesn't open on my rooted Fire TV 1 or Fire TV 2. But it does open on my non-rooted Fire Stick with 5.0.5? Strange. On the Fire TV's it does the first time run then just goes to a black screen.

Same here. Not running on rooted aftv1 (still running the older firmware) either. Same behavior just goes to a blank screen.
works fine for me as well, but for me it's not overwriting my existing spmc 15 install, does anyone know how to do that?

Has a different signature and installs all files under com.semperpax.spmc16 vs com.semperpax.spmc for vs15. Not sure why this was changed but you can move all files manually to this directory and should work.
are we talking about searching within addons using the remote mic? or just using the mic to open the app?

Correct, koying addresses this on github:
https://github.com/koying/SPMC/issues/88
Seems like there is an issue with launching SPMC 16 with Android versions < 4.4. So having issues on the old Fire OS. Will try again once we have have the rbox recovery and preroot for FireOS 5.
Launcher version looks in the works as well for 16.1.2:

I figured this out early this morning, thanks tho. Forgot to mention that it's working on my unrooted aftv 1 box. Not sure why so many rooted aftv1 users are having problems. Maybe it's something with kingroot. I've tested on my rooted aftv 2 and no problems whatsoever.

Most of us on aftv1 rooted with towelroot. But shouldn't matter what root method because we are likely all on a preooted rom flashed with recovery.
Is your aftv1 still on the old Fire OS or 5? Because I think that is the issue, not the root. Its just that most of us with root are still on the old OS.
I too want to better understand how this "voice search" truly functions. Might someone give some insight as to the true nature of how "voice search" works on this forked version of Kodi on the Amazon Fire TV 2?

I just got this
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk
works in AP mode with encryption, i'm running pmf v2.1 (rom version, not android version) and everything is good. Thanks a ton to the devs, sorry if this was posted already but i haven't seen it. So i figured I would give people an update...
Installing now, I don't even see this posted on their site for download though (even though it's clearly coming from their site), how odd
edit: does this still require fw_bcm4329.bin in the android.tether folder?

Where did you try to put a 7?
So the folder android.tether still has to be there? Ugh! I thought I read some where that once you go to 2.2, you no longer need that folder..Now I need to find that file again and reinstall it..
Okay, which version of Wireless tether.apk is working for 2.2(froyo)?

The APK he linked works fine. Copy the fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin file in the /system/etc/firmware folder into the /sdcard/android.tether folder, and rename it to fw_bcm4329.bin. Then install the linked APK, tether to your heart's content, confirmed to be working broadcasting in AP mode and works perfectly
Its ALIVE!!!! Yay....

Thank you .......
Again pardon my ignorance but I haven't had to put a fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin on my phone and Wireless tether works beautifully for me.
Works, thanks!
Installed APK and that's it. Works great. Thank you!!
Works great on my Evo! I just had to install the apk, didn't have to do any custom steps.
Works great!

Same here, if there is support for this in the kernel (for example any of Hydra's Kernels should work), then this file is not required.

Oh ok, I was just using the same method as previous versions in order to insure functionality, but if it's not even needed, all the better! Thanks for the info guys, I'll pull the folder off my SD.

thats because the Incredible doesn't allow anything Apple to connect to it, it is against their code lol
On a real note, my friend came over yesterday and he had his blackberry and iphone connected. What rom are you running?
I don't know about iPhone except that my friend with an iPhone could connect to me fine. However, some blackberries can't connect to an Adhoc network and I came through as Adhoc instead of wifi so it wouldn't connect. ON another note I showed on the same friend with an iPhone on her laptop as 802.11b/g/n I was the fastest option she had in our office.
Now that we have Root, can someone get Netflix to work on the Thrive?
I know that the Transformer has a hack (Some System file replacement) that let the netflix work on it.
Can we get something like that on the Thrive?
You can actually use that hack... If you are talking about the .zip you flash in recovery... I did it last night and have had no issues.
netflix works on all tabs now I think, there's a apk floating around.

With or without root?
I say you need to share this apk with us so we can find out.
Netflix does work on this tab with root and the hack. Prior to root though it was not working with just installing the .apk as confirmed here: thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-apps/1145-app-working-netflix-honeycomb.html. Sorry I don't have enough posts yet to allow me to use working links, so you can just cut and paste.

Nope, it doesn't work on a stock Thrive, or some other tablets on 3.1 or 3.0. If you're rooted, you can get around it.

exe and zip files to use netflix
Sorry, I'm a newbie & I don't get a lot of the terminology here... I downloaded an exe file and a zip file that were supposed to help me get Netflix to work. But, I can't seem to open the files. It tells me there's no known associated file type. What do I do to get net flix to work (in layman's terms)?

I don't know what files you downloaded, but to get the netflix app to work, you should have downloaded a .zip file from the asus transformer section, which you flash from the clockwork custom recovery.

Worked great for me - the only problem I see, and it has nothing to do with your root method, is that Google Play store seems to detect the FireTV as a GoogleTV device. So, almost any application I go to install is listed as incompatible.. <ugh>
