As Kindle Fire gets an internal SD Card, you can't use app2SD pro to move the installed apps to the SD Card which only for external SD Card.
So the RAM will be affected so much.
I got a method to resolve this well.
http://www.wandoujia.com provides PC end software to control the Android devices such as connect to the device with USB or WiFi, apps searching and downloading apps to local hard driver and installing them, books, videos, etc. And it has settings to force the apps to be installed to the SD Card.
Wandoujia (peasecod) is in Chinese, I think you can get some similar program in English.
I post the images here

Hi Pendave,
There's now an English-language version of Wandoujia. It's called SnapPea and is available for free at SnapPea.com
Would love to hear your feedback--we're trying to make it easy to manage everything on your Android from your PC.
Cheers,
Kai
I already asked this in another thread on here, but haven't received a response yet. I know the new update allows you to use external storage now, but unfortunately for some games, such as Asphalt 8 Airborne, don't provide the option to install to an external source. Has anyone tried to use the MountDataToUSB flash in this forum to extend their internal storage to a USB hard drive, and if so did it work? The new update uses a Windows style file system, and the flashables were made to work with the previous Fire TV system, that being Linux-based. I did try to apply the update and everything looked ok, until I rebooted that is. I didn't screw anything up, the flash just didn't take. I would like to be able to find a work around for this, especially if Link2SD doesn't work. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

This is why I've decided to not install the latest update (official or prerooted). While the latest update has many new features, none are things I need or desire. If you have MountDataToUSB already working, I'd suggest sticking with it.

I have one fire tv that is rooted and one that is not rooted. On my rooted fire tv I have the swap internal for external on a 128 gig ssd drive. On my unrooted fire tv I took the latest update to be able to add a few more games. I decided not to update my rooted fire tv because I would actually be losing functionality. The swap internal to external seems to be running really well and I can add as many games as I like. SPMC and kodi seem to be running well on the rooted fire tv and there doesn't seem to be any real slow down. I guess the point being is that I would not give up the MountDataToUSB for the latest update. The update does allow you to add a usb drive but right now it's use seems limited. At least compared to MounDataToUSB or the swap internal for external function. The swap internal for external is actually very easy with adbfire.

The MountDataToUSB option is actually pretty easy to perform, also. You just flash the appropriate .zip file in Recovery Mode and reboot. The only downside is it takes a while for the boot process to apply the zip. After that, the end result is a lot more storage than you started out with.

I updated but decided to downgrade back to the last pre-rooted firmware, because all the new features don't make up for losing the ability to connect multiple drives, expand internal storage etc. Since the things I use the FTV for work perfectly fine with the previous version, I'm ok with not having the latest and imo, not so greatest update.

I totally agree. I did the same thing last night.
Over on aftvnews, a comment in response to the "Everything you need to know about USB storage on the Amazon FireTV" article by a John Merrill details an experiment that was intriguing to say the least. He says he was able to get Stickmount to see and mount a flash drive formatted exfat, and Kodi too was able to see the drive but he was not able to play any media off the drive. When he then removed the drive and plugged it into his computer, the flash drive was unrecognized. Apparently the FireTV had done something to his drive, even though he selected "Cancel" when the AFTV asked to format the drive to FAT32.
So the question is, if a flash drive or other USB storage had two partitions, the first being a FAT32 and the second being exfat or ext4 etc., would this make it possible to use either stickmount/Link2SD or a modified version of jmandawg's script to achieve additional storage that is more useful and functional than what Amazon made possible in the latest ROMs?
Would a small (sacrificial) FAT32 partition satisfy the FireTV's requirements and would the system then allow the 2nd partition to be used for additional storage via either of the two methods above?
Or is this just silly and I'm missing something obvious that makes it impossible to overcome Amazon's restrictions on USB storage functionality?
I'm happy with beIng able to use my 128gb SSD with the 51.1.4.1 version, but I'd really love to be able to use Bluetooth headphones for late night viewing that the newest ROM's make possible. That would really be like having the cake and eating it too!
**UPDATE** Found that I need to use some cloud service like Drive to get files on NP. Now I just need to know if for the purpose of Kodi should I update to Android M preview...
Hello All,
I was able to unlock the bootloader and root my device but I am having an issue seeing the internal storage drive in windows 7. Am I missing a setting or are my drivers all screwed up (showing as SAMSUNG Android Phone in Device manager).?? Am i not able to place files on the internal storage??
LMY48J 5.1.1
Also, are there any additional changes i should make to support Kodi?
Thanks
I have used the app “Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for usb by Paragon software” to mount a NTFS drive to the switch. I can use the app “x-plore” to browse my 1TB drive and can play all my songs and media. However I cannot find the drive in the kodi app. I would greatly like to be able to add all my media to the kodi library.
Any suggestions guys?
I think the reason this isn't working in Kodi is because the android system isn't recognizing the usb drives, they're only being recognized through third party apps. Until the android system itself is able to see the drives under the storage option in the system menu, we're not going to be able to get this to work.

I have found a solution. First you need to root the switch with magisk. Next install the app called stickmount.
If you'd like more details. I plan to write a more in-depth guide.

2019 Nividia Shield TV Pro XCIPTV Player TV Guide Crashes App Fix
The cause is having a USB device integrated storage instead of removable storage.
1) Go to Storage and eject the USB storage device and unplug
2) Forget USB storage device
3) Depending how many of your apps were removed by removing the USB storage device you may have to reinstall downloader or whatever app you use to install XCIPTV Player
4) Reinstall Alien XC Player
5) Check That TV Guide now works
6) From this point you can reconnect the USB storage device and you can either reintegrate the USB device or Add it as removable storage the TV guide should still work
7) Reinstall all the apps you lost by ejecting and forgetting the USB storage device
