If you have WP 8.1 dev preview you can try:
Launch Bing or Cortana
Type in ‘USB’
Swipe left to ‘phone’
Tap Settings > USB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now we see USB settings, but I don't know whether or not the feature works. Anyway - we see so that is already in the system.

Weird thing...
I was browsing registry a week ago and found these settings there. I posted to the 8.1 tweaking topic about them, with a sidenote that what happened, this didnt come tothe final build. After posting I was swiping in the settings and saw the USB -settings menu there. Then I just thought I have missed the whole usb-settings in the preview and edited my post about that.
Now that I saw the news abotu this in WPC yesteday, I went to the settings and the USB -settings is not present anymore. I dont know I probably then enabled/disabled it myself then from the settings.
Posted the reg tweak to the tweaking topic how to make the usb settings menu appear in the settings.

Same error in network profile.
I can get to the option on my Windows Phone 8x, but it says "Not connected" even though the phone is connected to my computer via USB.

Me too for network profile, but I enabled USB in settings, as @Loco explained here. - of course with interop unlock, using samwp8tools and regedit-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718311&page=4
This is the command: LOCALMACHINE (check DWORD)
Path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\USB
Key: DisableUSBControlPanel
Value: 0
I've enabled both options, but they don't seem to work on my 820 (yet). Probably why the setting was hidden in the first place... :/
this is the reason...
I activated the settings but it doesn't allert me when I connect a slow charger
with web reg you can see there are more keys to USB :
possibly just a complete coincidence but not long after enabling this I started getting issues with the phone charging, in that it wouldn't charge or connect via USB, a reset fixed it and not been an issue since. probably nothing but if more folk find this happening it might be worth while keeping track of it to potentially warn others.
after all, its not as if these settings are super secrete or against the wishes of the networks so the settings are not live for a reason....perhaps that's it.
food for thought
Why did I never think of it I have honestly no idea... and it works!
From comments it appears to work on 14.1 , 15 alpha. Might work even with 14.0. Might not work with XBMC because there seems that it's not in the AppSTORE.
Here is what you should do:
1. SIdeload Kodi 14.2
Q: Why? Here is why the Amazon link has Kodi 14.2 so it might not work with earlier versions.
2. (if you are a new user) do the initial setup just give it like 15 sec for it to load up.. (returning user) you should see similar thing but it would upgrade it.
3. on YOUR PC/Mac -- NOT MOBILE devices
go to this link:
http://www.amazon.com/XBMC-Foundati...6?ie=UTF8&qid=1425670241&sr=8-6&keywords=Kodi
4. Buy it with ONE CLICK <<< important! it will show your FIRE TV is not compaptible with it.
5. Go to settings on your Fire TV and go to my account (sync content)
BAM! you have now Kodi on your recents/home screen! Make sure you first sideloaded KODI
I just tested this on Rooted FTV but will work without on both Fire TV & Stick!
Nice tip. I had this working with SPMC on the fire stick for a while. Good to hear it works for Kodi now that it is available as well.
Thanks! I have 14.1 installed and it works great! Much better than messing with cms.db like I've been working on.
Besides having Kodi on the "Recent" tab, does it also show up in the "Your App" tab ?
.
This is really cool. You an infact do this with any app that you have side loaded that is available from the Amazon App Store.
This would be cool if it worked but it doesn't on my Fire Stick.
Worked for me on ftv. Did the same thing with advanced task killer. Thinking about doing clean master also

it should without any issues. Did you get an email from Amazon for purchasing free Kodi ?
did you also SYNC ? sometimes you have to sync few times reboot your FTV/Stick etc...

It should since you actaully own the free app via Amazon Appstore. I am rooted so I barely look at this.
Did this a few hours ago and just got an email saying I received a $1 mp3 credit for my "purchase"

So you got 1$ credit for downloading Kodi? or you prob got 1$ credit for something else. Last few days there were bunch of apps that were giving 1$/credit for just downloading a free app.
No I matched up the order numbers. It was this one
I have found an easier way that puts any app on any screen, Dock4Droid.I have been using it for a couple months. I have it set up where the dock graphic is removed and it looks like the apps are floating in colored mist on the screen. The mist color can be changed to any color. I have made the icons small so that they are still big on the screen but are not distorted. Be sure to set the number of apps to appear on the dock, I think I have it set to 30 apps so that all apps opened will appear. I have hid the activation area and made the activation area 100% on the bottom right of the screen and made the activation area 0 width so that it does not interfere with apps. I have flipped it so that the last opened app is on the right side. You can also put a shortcut for any app so it is always on the dock. I have SPMC set to always appear on the dock so I can always open it from anywhere. The only downside is that any app that requires an activation area on the fire tv makes a square artifact on the top and left side edge of the screen when the cursor goes to the edge of the top and left side of the screen, but it isn't really a problem for me. The artifact happens with every app I have tried, Fancy Switcher, Sidebar etc. The dock also has App Info so that you can close apps directly from the dock. If you have an app opened, activate the dock, go to app info, the popup will appear and just force close it. To me its the fastest way I have found to multitask and force close apps on the Fire TV, cause it lets you launch any app from anywhere.

LOL, now that would be something if one gets $1 for getting Kodi. But this works fine, I did not even have to sync content. Took a few minutes and the app showed up on the home screen. I guess I can bid farewell to Llama and ClassicTV for now.
Thanks awsome trick

Good to know I don't see a reason yet to use the v15 unless it's stable. Sooner or later it will happen. You can mix it now with aftvlauncher helper and home button will launch kodi without root,just set it to kodi to launch on home key press
Offtopic - v15 goes great, no problems on firetv. But you are right there is no point going in v15 since 14.x is perfect already.
Thanks for the tip for the home button.

weird...didn't work for me. Installed Kodi went to amazon link and logged in. clicked on get with 1 click. said app was purchased. went back to Fire TV and did the sync. but still not showing on home screen. I am on a rooted Fire TV.
Yep, for me too. At least on one of my fire-tv boxes anyway.
I've got three, all unrooted and all running the same version of Kodi (14.1). It worked on two of my boxes but not the third, I can't work out why not. I've unregistered it and reregistered even done a factory reset but it won't work on that box, weird?
Due to my own experiences after having purchased many Galaxy devices, I've noticed, Samsung likes to hide toggles.. So I always put my own back in, with adb, or an app. For newer android devices, we need adb.
So on your Galaxy, go to settings>developer options, and enable USB debugging, and Stay awake. (If you don't see developer options, go into 'About phone', and tap on 'Build Number' 7+ times until achieved.
Plug your phone into your computer, and make sure it's drivers are installed and the phone is coming up properly.
Download the ADB files, on your PC, here in a .Zip or a Folder
Then, open up an Admin CMD, (if you don't know how, GOOGLE.) Then, open up the directory of the ADB folder in the cmd.
Example, on my computer, I left the folder in downloads, so I type into the cmd cd c:\users/Jae/downloads/platform-tools Example
Type adb devices into the cmd. (Make sure only one phone is attached) If you see your phone, (random looking numbers & letters) good. If it says 'unauthorized' check the phone and make sure tap allow, if you don't see anything.. detach it & reattach, and type in adb devices again. When it says 'device', you're good. Go to the next step.
Type adb shell and at this point, you should be looking like This.. If you do, copy and paste this settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
Once it loads, copy what came up by highlighting like this, and then use ctrl+v . Yours will be/look different, depending on your toggles. Paste it into a text file, or whatever.
Then copy settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles and paste it in front of all of that, then put ' in front of the first toggle, and after the last toggle. Like this, 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth' < JUST AN EXAMPLE
This is where you add in your missing toggles, using only commas to separate, no spaces.. Most commonly desired MobileData. There's more, if wanted. So, for example, if you start with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth'
You should finish with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth,MobileData,WifiHotspot' or any order you like. (MAKE SURE NO SPACES IN BETWEEN ANY TOGGLES. ONLY COMMAS.)
Should be looking like THIS!! then, copy it so it looks just like in the last screenshot. Simply right click in the cmd, and hit enter..
If you get a syntax error, you did something wrong. Like leaving out the ' at the beginning, and ' at the end of the toggles, or spaces somewhere other than the command.
If you have no errors, check your Quick Toggles for the newly added ones. Should be there, no restart necessary or anything.
If successful, congrats. If not, I can help. Just ask. (don't ask about anything other than the topic, PLEASE..)
As of December 30th, 2019, this still works just fine. HOWEVER on newer android updates, 'MobileHotspot' has been renamed to JUST 'Hotspot' . So if you're not seeing the icon after applying this fix, this is probably why. Try with Hotspot instead of MobileHotspot.
Thanks for the solution, finally I added mobile data icon!

No problem! Glad this worked out for you.
Hey there! This worked great prior to the update I just did last week. I wanted to get the wifihotspot to be the first icon when i dropped the quick toggle menu down, instead of rifling through Settings, Connections, Mobile Hotspot and tethering, then finally able to switch it on. Now when I put wifihotspot in the command line you posted, it just stays at the default. It's as though they may have changed the name of the wifihotspot toggle to something else. Any idea? My phone is a S7, Android 8.0.0, Samsung Experience version 9.0, Baseband version G930W8VLU3CRE3. A lot more software info but hopefully that's enough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I have the same problem with MobileData. Even though I add it to the list, the tile doesn't seem to appear...
Any idea on the new name if it even exist anymore?
So, would I be able to add the DeX software toggle thats on the galaxy tab s4? this would be the best.
Best answer all the times
I have been looking for this solution nearly a year! And thank you really, thank you too much. I m glad.
AWESOME! Added "HotSpot" to my Rogers Galaxy S8+ in Canada. Thanks so much!
Question
I have small question. Is there a way to stop asking "Turn off mobile data" question?
I mean for example mobile data on. And when you touch toggle it asks "Mobile Data unless.. bla bla do you want to turn off mobile data?" I just want to change it as without any question.
Thank you
I was able to add "Hotspot" toggle to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

My 5th Gen updated to FireOS 5.6.1.0 just before 4 hours!
One of the of the amazing thing is that it bypassed the firewall of NoRootFirewall!
I am glad that Play Store is working!
I can't find changes except improvements in keyboard!
There is now new light theme!I
Edit: Found that you now not need to enter ADB Codes to add widgets on Home Screen (Tested on Nova).

Okie dokie. There's obvious misalignment between claims and outcomes. I'll let you sort/sweat the details. Primary OTA updates operate the same way in the past three generations of FireOS (v3-v5).
I have 5.6.1.0 on and HD8 6th gen. I can't find a way to enable ADB debugging. The three taps on the serial number don't work. Any apk that will enable ADB debug or Developer options for me? The ones I found open the Developer Options menu but it is empty.

Could be Amazon disabled that capability in recent builds of FireOS. Unfortunately, I don't have a 5.4/5.6 equipped device at my disposal to do further testing (and thus probably should not have commented!). Might want to do a bit of Googling to see what shows up. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

No root. Some devices can be rolled back to FireOS 5.4.0.0; from there you can disable some pre-installed apps which should improve responsiveness. Be aware it is a one way street; once an app is disabled via script it can not be re-enabled without resetting the device which restores everything...along with tossing your personal apps/data.
You might try a factory reset without rolling back; that often improves responsiveness but clearing caches and flushing crud. Also consider your app portfolio; anything that auto-starts and/or runs in the background is going to be problematic on this underpowered device. Social apps are some of the biggest offenders. Amazon's own apps are the biggest culprits as most/all autostart and can't be easily disabled.
Welcome to FTVLaunchX – a simple helper application to allow custom launchers on Amazon Fire TV devices – no root required!
It is inspired by the famous LauncherHijack of @BaronKiko and tries to overcome several issues relating to it:
- Reliably intercepts any & all presses of the home button
- Starts the selected launcher on boot
- Starts the selected launcher when waking up from sleep
- Fixes the ominous missing-cursor bug in Silk
- etc.
Please find a thorough description, installation instructions as well as the source code over here:
https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX
Get the APK: FTVLaunchX-1.0.1
EDIT: uploaded new release 1.0.1!
If you want to say Thank You or fund further development, then feel free to drop me buck or two, see https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX#Donations
Please report back if you did test on your devices (so far tested on Fire TV Stick 2nd Gen & Fire TV Stick 4K) – I will watch this thread for any issues and/or feature requests.
Thanks for this. Works with no issues and really well on my Fires TV Stick 4K.
When I press home it opens my launcher quickly (TV Launcher 3).
When I wake the device from sleep I do see the amazon launcher for a split second (literally a quick flash).
When I reboot it takes 20-30 seconds to automatically start my launcher.
This could be because it is giving way to IP Vanish which is set to launch on startup.
As soon as IP Vanish launches, I press the back key or the home key and my launcher immediately loads.
Love your work.
Also there is another way of returning to the default Amazon Launcher. Maybe you already know it
Use the Alexa Remote (Voice) and say "Home" or "Settings".
Thanks again.

Yes, it should be a tiny bit quicker and what's more important: way more reliable! Except for the split-second when coming out of sleep I never see the Amazon launcher anymore (I also use TVLauncher 3).

Aye, I know - it's because I let the system decide on when to launch it. As you said, there may be other things also being launched and so it has not the top priority. Maybe I'll experiment with raising the priority of FTVLaunchX but I wanted to stay on the safe side for the 1.0 release.

Oh, and just to clarify: do you think that we should also try to catch that and start the custom launcher when hearing "Home"? This may not be possible and IMHO it's way better to leave that as a valid exit method to get back to the original Amazon launcher...

I just tried it on my Nvidia Shield 2017 model and it works great. The only thing I see wrong if you want to call it wrong is, When booting it boots to the android tv screen for about 5-10 seconds but then goes to my Halauncher. Home button works great everytime. If you don't mind I will post it on the Shield tv section or you can. It would be easier for some people that don't understand adb. Great job!!!!

The only thing I see wrong if you want to call it wrong is, When booting it boots to the android tv screen for about 5-10 seconds but then goes to my Halauncher.

Ok, I've raised the boot priority to the maximum... find the 1.0.1-dev APK as an attachment.
Let me know if that reacts any faster for you on boots (though a couple seconds will probably be normal, I guess; it all depends on what other things are installed etc.).
Ping to @Flakie too.
I'm getting voiceover on official Hulu app on my v2 stick.
What launcher are available for TV stick? Any Android TV launcher?

Yes, that's because Hulu (and some other apps) added some weird code in one of their releases, please try the following:
Settings > Accessibility and make sure that VoiceView AND Screen Magnifier are turned off, the latter one being really important!
You can also hold Back+Menu (toggles voice view) and Back+FastForward (toggles screen magnifier) for two seconds.
If that doesn't work then head into Hulu and turn off app sounds under your profile settings.
If it is still on then go to your apps list in Settings, find the Hulu app, clear its cache AND data, force stop it and then relaunch the app. You will have to sign in again but that should really do the trick.
Please report back!

You can find some links on the GitHub page of FTVLaunchX but there are quite a few others like AppStarter, HALauncher, ATV Launcher Pro or even Kodi itself...
My favourite is TVLauncher 3 but everybody will have a different taste... you can find some of them on Aptoide, but most need to be downloaded somewhere else.
thanks for this ive got it on my 4k stick using ATV launcher and looks mighty fine !
From the description looks good. Immediately uninstalled Hijack and installed FTVLauncherX. First tried adb install -g, but adb said -g is an unknown option, so installed it directly from a dir on the stick, granted the permission via adb. Now when my Firestick 2nd starts it does start with the native Amazon Home Launcher and stays there. It switches to my launcher only when pushing the home button. I use ATV Launcher Pro.
