Hello,
is there a better YouTube App as the "****ty" Amazon YouTube App? Without root I can't use the google youtube app and XMBC is not a good solution - only if i know what i want to play...
Thank you
It is possible to the normal android youtube apk.:good:
I installed these 4 apk´s onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=73036323A69E3CF1!1484&authkey=!AIVXLFXAOWDeM0Q&ithint=folder%2c.apk
After that I installed the newest playstore and google play services.
Than you have to install the newest youtube apk and sign in with your google account.:good:
Google music works, too
^^^WITHOUT ROOT!
There is a YouTube HD MOD that works perfectly fine if you have keyboard and mouse access.
No rooting needed and you only have to Google search "YouTube HD MOD" to find it.
It was the first thing I tried when root was not even available.
It is hard to read where the file is with the new design changes of XDA,but it is under downloads in colorful links.

Edit:Stupid Opera Browser does not include the http part and thus kills the linking function.

Hi - thank you! I don't know that Mod. I will try it - but first I've to order a Keyboard with Touchpad ... Maybe it would be great, because I can use Firefox for surfing too ...
Thank you!
The worst problem is that the fire TV's search screen appears frequently when using a browser,and you may not be able to stop it without root.
Opera is good despite that annoyance I show and the large cache filing,but FireFox is a hassle without root unless you can find a way to set a different IME as default to prevent the onscreen Fire search from coming up.
Would settings.apk work without root well enough to change defaulted IME to Null Keyboard?
I would assume you can install it like any app when sideloaded.

You don't have to root you device. The playstore doesn't work, but most Google apps are working great:laugh:

I've installed the YouTube Mod and I also have the Logitech K400 ... It works - but I can't login - is there a solution for that? I have many Abos ... And every time I go to an input field the FireTV Keyboard opens - i want to use my K400 ...
Yesterday I found the original YouTube TV App in the Amazon App Store on FireTV and it works perfect. Pairing and Login works also... Great!

thats not the google one, its just a amazon clone.
Hi,
I mean that one: http://www.amazon.de/youtube-com-Yo...e=UTF8&qid=1414321064&sr=1-1&keywords=youtube
And it seems to be from youtube.com ? Or is it a clone? But if it's a clone, it's a real good one!
Does anyone have the official YouTube application for the Fire TV for me to side load? Thanks!!
YouTube for Fire TV
I have found that the YouTube app for Google TV works great on the Fire TV!
You just have to have Play Services installed so that you can log in (no root required). Of course, it will not show up on your list of apps so you will need another method to open it. I use the Folder Organizer app for Fire TV - ugly as sin, but effective!
new Youtube on Kodi (14.0,14.1) is actually awesome it has sweet UI looks much better then on XBMC (13++).
Other suggestion maybe Youtube for Google TV.

I want to replace my Google Tv 3.2 box with the AFTV. I tried sideloading GooglePrimetime TV but its asking for a Google account.
1. How can I add a google account to the FireTV. I have the settings app sideloaded but when I open the Accoutns and Sync the app closes so it wont let me add a Google Account?
2. I also want to use an IR Blaster so that I can change the channels via the AFTV, this is how the Google TV box I have with OS 3.2 works, it has a pretty cool guide when you select a show it changes the channel via the IR blaster?
Thank you.

I've been reading these forums awhile and haven't read anything like your describing. However I have Sony Google TV in the basement collecting dust and it'd be cool to repurposed the ir blaster. Cooler if you could use the Google TV remote but I don't think its possible.
Only thing I can tell you is if you're rooted go to aftvnews and install Google play store. You'll need Google play services. Its all in the guide. Hope you discover something cool!

Get enough of Google play services installed that you can run a gapps Youtube. Sign into youtube with your google account and that will give the device your google credentials to work from.
IIRC, it helps to add maps for some things, even if you will never use it for mapping - tasker expects one of the Google Maps libraries to be available.
Hello
I have the Amazon Fire TV and even though it has 100s of applications installed, it does not have an Internet browser - is there a way to get the browser so then I can watch what I like as I do on my laptop/PC?
Thanks
FireFox on Android tries to be as close to the PC counterpart as possible,and not only does it support flash,it also has that Shumway add-on to try out.
Otherwise,there is a handful of other browsers that also support flash.
For any,you need to install the flash player app from archived flash player versions.

Scroll down to find the "for Android 4.0" section with the latest updated final 11.1 version apk of Flash Player.
Thanks for the reply. This is an Amazon Fire TV box, not a mobile phone. I have no idea how to download anything into it. I only have a remote control for it and the box is connected to my TV. Whatever applications are on this box they were downloaded automatically, without my involvement.
If you want a browser,you need to hook a keyboard to your FireTV via USB (Logitech K400r works) or get a bluetooth keyboard.
Sideloading requires ADB normally at first,and FireFox for Android can get annoying when the onscreen keyboard pops up randomly and forces unwanted navigation.
There is an old thread with instructions for ADB installment and usage for sideloading,but I just don't have time to look it up,sorry.
I don't know if settings.apk works without root when changing the default IME to something like null keyboard to stop the onscreen keyboard from popping up.
Hello
I have a problem for example I use bank app and when I click on something is redirect me to v apps and it's don't work
I would love to switch default apps to normal one like play store or chrome
