The only way i found was to add a bluetooth mouse and you can control it like how you want it. Sideload settings.apk from one of the post in General , then go in there and add the bluetooth mouse.

=/ I enjoyed using the remote. HHopefully a better alternative shows up.

You will still need the remotes back button since both mouse butttons do the same think. Which is select...

I am using http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/nyko-play-pad-pro-tablet-controller/104098. Worked very well.

So this works for you on your FireTV Stick... Which Settings.apk did you install & what FW do you have on the remote. Did you convert it to a Nyko PlayPad Pro for the FireTV ?? And what you say is working is the Nyko's PlayPad Pro's Mouse mode on Xfinity right ??? Please give as much info as possible.. Very interested on the Nyko PlayPad for the FireTV Stick as a BT mouse option...

After seeing this thread, I found one in my area on sale for about 12 bucks. After it charges, I will try it out on the fire stick, and come back and report. The controller has a built in mouse function that you activate with the flip of a switch. So, if the fire tv stick can pick up the controller on bluetooth, then in theory it might work. I'll be back later with findings.

Thanks.. I am very interested on this. Did you pick it up @ GameStop ?? Some one over at AFTVNews.com reported it had not worked for them But not sure if they installed the Settings.apk first or not. So right now it seems one said no and one said yes. Guess you should be the deciding vote... :good:

Yes, a Gamestop up the road from me had two left. I have the setting.apk succesfully installed as well, so as soon as the thing charges up, I will give it a go. And if it does not work...oh well, just 12 bucks. I will say that I have read reports of a few wireless bluetooth mouses working with the setting.apk as well. Sadly, I do not know the brands, and I have tried a few mouse apps on my android phone via bluetooth, but since they are asking for a pin, it does not seem to work. Any bluetooth device that asks for a pin it seems, is destined to fail.

Yeah... It's hit and miss.. Make sure you do charge it at least 2-3 hours.. I think 2 hours is the recommended time.. Guess you can test it out with stock FW on the remote. But there is a way to convert all Nyko remotes to the FireTV FW. Called to put a couple aside. Just in case they work..
Also please let us know how the controller feels for playing games. I know it won't be as good as any console controllers but for $13 as long as they don't break down to quickly they should be fine..

The Nyko gamepad mouse function works on the Fire TV stick. Do not try and connect the controller through the Fire TV stick settings, do it through the setting menu from the setting.apk. Make sure the controller is on (had it set to gamepad mode), then click the option that allows you to search for bluetooth compatible devices under bluetooth settings. It should pick it up pretty easily. Once it is selected and setup, change the gamepad to mouse mode, and then you can use the apps that require the touch/mouse function. Right now, I am running a sideloaded directtv app.
After I load a game, I'll come back with more intel, but the Nyko gamepad works like a charm so far.

Awesome... Will wait for your gaming feedback... I went ahead & put a few on hold for 48 hours... Since most stores in my area only have 1 in store. Thanks to their Holidays Return Policy we got until Jan. 15 to return. If anything is defective or one does not like it. But wonder what will they do since they not longer will carry them. Hopefully Refund. But I hope they are good enough... Should be great to get 3 of the Nyko's for the price of one of the Amazon controllers.. And that is with extra features.
I myself will be trading in a bunch of games I've put off trading in. So I should be able to get 3-4 for just the trade-in credits.
Please upload here the exact Settings.apk that worked for you. Want to start from the exact same page.. Also would like to know if you are rooted & on what Stock or PreRooted FW you are at.. Also did you do anything to the remote controls FW ?? TY

This is for SHOWBOX .......i use wireless remode control app for fire tv stick. You get some control(navigation) up down left right by sound the click ....it need little practice it's not perfect.

This app works great for Showbox, Popcorntime, browsers, it has mouse mode. Only thing missing is qwerty keyboard, but I just switch over to fire remote app when that is needed.

Interesting app... You just have to know your FTV's IP to tell them apart. The app needs more complete translation of it. Odd how it installs itself on the FTV.. But easy... The go back button doesn't seem to work on most instances. Just ended hitting home. Since I do have root on my FTV's.. It did kept asking me to grant it SuperSU status.. Not sure why.. I Denied it... Probably will still go with the Nyko Game Pad Pro but this is a good backup.. But I don't trust it just yet... Uninstalled it for now...

Alright, as far as I can tell, it is impossible to root the fire tv stick as of yet. Hopefully someone comes up with a way. I'll just drop some instructions from the beginning and add a few resources for people starting fresh. I uploaded the settings.apk I used, so be sure to grab that from this post. Before I get too far into this, everything I have done is with a stock Fire TV stick and Nyko gamepad controller straight out of the box, and anything done to the fire stick is listed below.
On the fire tv stick, make sure under settings that the adb debugging and allowing outside apps are enabled. As for getting the settings.apk to the stick itself, just follow the instructions found here: sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-windows/
(Being a new user, I cannot link that, so I apologize for the inconvenience)
Once that is loaded, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Installed Applications. Find the settings app, launch it, and go to the bluetooth menu option. Click it, and up at the top right hand corner, you will see an option that will allow you to search for bluetooth devices. Make sure that the nyko remote is charged, turned on, and set in the gamepad function before clicking that option. Once you have the gamepad set up, click the option to search for bluetooth devices, it may take a minute. Once it picks it up, enable it in the menu, and you should be good to go.
I did not change any functions on the controller itself. This is the stock Nyko gamepad controller straight out of the box. You will be able to switch it back and forth between the controller and mouse functions, and both work. The only thing I have found is that when entering user names and passwords on apps, keep the stick remote next to you, as it is generally easier to use that to enter the names/passwords/etc. I have successfully navigated and watched stuff from the DirecTv, Funimation (though this app is still a little funky to navigate, it works), and Xfinity sideloaded apps.
As far as games, my kids are playing Sonic 2 with the controller currently, and there are no issues with it. It works great. Just remember to turn it on and off when using it and not using it, since it has a chargeable battery.
Sorry Y314K, I am sure that this is far more more information that you originally wanted/needed, but I figured I better start from the beginning, so newbies reading this will have all the tools they need to make it work.
Hope this helps!

Phone as a mouse, FireTV Stick?

Is it possible to run a program like droidmote without root, to control the sideloaded apps with touch features?
Also trying to get a bluetooth Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 to connect. Installed Settings.apk. Can detect it, but can't pair it.

Not without root.
I bought one of those Nyko tablet game pads for mine, the Stick natively supports the Nyko game pad, and it has a mouse mode.
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/nyko-play-pad-pro-tablet-controller/104098
Picked two is them up in store for 12.97 each. They don't have them up front, they keep them in the back so you have to ask for them.

yes

I use Yatse to control XBMC with no issues on my s3 Samsung, Remote IME seems to work for everything else.
I am unsure of the mouse, I can use my Logitech keyboard for full control and browser work though. hope this helps

Not true anymore. Try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wukongtv.wkremote.client.en
Has some translation issues (seems to be a Chinese app). Install on your phone and when you open it and connect it will automatically install the client on your ftv (or at least it did on my rooted box with play store access). Seems to have both navigation controls and mouse mode. Worked well for me in my ftv (have not tried on ftv sticks yet, mine won't be here until Tuesday).

I'm pretty weary of Chinese apps.

How are you using remote ime? This is only thing i could find in under that name. http://www.mygica.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9&p=9
Tried scanning and manually entering ip and nothing.
Don't know about the Chinese app, doesn't look like it has a touchpad feature for using it as a pointer for touch controls that fire stick remote can't do. Joystick an option even though the stick isn't a game machine. Wantd to use something i already have if possible.
I haven't had any luck connecting anything Bluetooth. Monoprice Bluetooth headphones and sound brick show as detected but never play audio. Mouse detects but doesn't pair.

That Nyko gamepad works perfectly (as a gamepad and as a mouse), and if you go to the game controllers part of Settings you'll see Amazon mentions Nyko specifically, that controller is fully supported from the factory on the Fire Stick.

The Chinese app definitely can function as a mouse. Press the square in the upper right corner and select mouse module.

Keep in mind I'm talking about the stick, there is no root for it yet. At least not a software root. If I had root, could install droidmote.

Has anyone been able to get mouse clicks to work with WKremote, the chinese app, on the Fire TV Stick? I have no problem getting a mouse pointer and I'm able to move it around, but not able to click on anything. I've tried placing the pointer on the object i want to click on, then switching to gesture mode but that doesn't seem to work either.
I'm trying to use it on the Time Warner app and I need to be able to click different options. I also tried to click on something in XBMC with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Issues connecting to FireTV Stick
Anyone else having problems connecting to the FireTV Stick. When I open up the app it will search and see the FireTV and shows the correct IP, when I click it to connect it shows fail to initialize and brings me to some help section ( that clearly I do not understand)
Any info would be nice, perhaps there is an issue with the router I am using, uPnP is disabled or something? I just received my new router recently belkin ac1200 and I am not sure if that is the cause.

The Wukon app works for me on the FireTV Stick, but it's super slow. Mouse is jumpy, and inputs are sometimes delayed by 2-3 seconds.
I didn't install anything on the stick to support it, it just worked.
I am interested in how it works more if anyone has any English resources. Pretty cool how it puts up a notification on the FireTV Stick.

Fire TV stick help EDIT: DONT EVER SHUT OFF BLUETOOTH AND ADB!

I'll start by saying I'm a dummy. I shut off bluetooth in the settings.apk and have no way to control the stick now. ADB must be turned off because I can't seem to control it with the utility app. Anyway to fix this? I tried using usb devices with otg y cable but it doesn't work. The device isn't rooted. Thanks.
Edit: Read some more, yup I'm screwed.

It seems like bluetooth always comes back on by itself when I turn it off. Did you reboot? Do you have XBMC/Kodi installed? Try using an XBMC/Kodi remote app like Yatse and open the settings app through Kodi with the Yatse remote and see if that works. Yatse will find your Kodi if it is on the same network and auto connect. If you don't know how to open apps through Kodi let me know.

Oh I just remembered, the Fire TV remote app. Go to the play store on you phone and search "fire TV" the remote app should be near the beginning of the search results, install it. Reboot your stick then connect. IIt will auto find your device if its on the same network.

Thanks! I thought that was a bluetooth app.

I did not slam you at all. I simply said if you would have read the description you would have known it was a wifi app. There is no other way to say that. Its not my fault that you can not handle the truth Just because someone is honest it does not mean they are being mean. If I tell you not to touch fire because it will burn you, it means not to touch fire, and if someone tells you to read something so that you will know what it is, then it means you should read it. Thats not being mean in the least.You can take it howw you want, but I was actually being nice.

That works.

Happened to a few of us before and will happen to many others in the future. The Wukong Romote(I believe it's misspelled on the playstore on purpose) app works well to provide mouse control if you happen to disable bluetooth by accident.

Mouse Toggle for Fire TV w/ 5.2.1.0

why you not use a real BT Mouse or Bluetooth Mouse/KB in your rooted Smartphone? Work like a charm. All other will at one day blacklisted by Amazon.. this cant blacklisted!

Can you specify which device or android version you are using? i faced the same problem on my Android 4.3 and i downgrade to a previous problem which solved the problem.

You have to install the Installer APK from the store on your Phone or Tablet first and then start it
Then select in the app your Fire TV IP address and sideload the Main APK to your Fire TV
Finally open the Main APP on your Fire TV and ensure, that both radio buttons and adb are enabled, that's all
I tested and it works on Fire TV 1 & 2, Fire Stick 1 &2 with or without root on: 5.2.1.0, 5.2.1.1, 5.2.4.1, 5.2.4.2

[APK Request] BT Sport app (v5.6.0) for Fire Stick

Hi,
Been trying to get BT Sport app running on my Fire Stick. I'm aware that it has needed Google Play Services and Store to run for the last year or so and have loaded these but the most recent version of the app that I can get to install without error is 4.13.2 (2018-01-22). But this version just states that a newer version is available and to go to the store and update.
So has anyone got this installed and running recently?
I have a BT Sport subscription so not looking for a free solution (Kodi etc), just want to avoid the need to cast from my phone.
Thanks

Also having this issue, it seems that BT have stopped making the APK compatible with Android TV which is needed for it to work on the fire stick. Hence why the APK wont install. I also tried reverting back to older versions of google play services, bt app etc but it forces you to update google services, which once updated then requires you too update the BT app, in short in seems BT have finally found a way to get to charge people extra so they can use the BT TV APP.
Hopefully someone smarter than me can figure out a work around as casting or screen mirroring from a mac are rather crap options.

I use Downloader to update both the BT Sport app from APKPure and then, if needed, Google Play Services from APKMirror.
Still working perfectly for me.

I use Downloader to update both the BT Sport app from APKPure and then, if needed, Google Play Services from APKMirror.

@wonneil what site are you going to with Downloader to get the BT Sport App apk? Thanks

Apkpure (as already stated )
Current version of BT Sport is 5.11.0
See what happens you try from there...

Doesn't work here, I get an app not installed error.

Sounds like it might be a fire stick only problem then, works fine on the box, hope it doesn't go that way on the box as I'll have to get rid of my subscription.
I wonder what the difference could be?

I was wondering the same, i assume you are not rooted and after downloading the apk are manaually installing it. Therefore the only reason must be the sdk version is older on the firsestick as it uses android 5 as opposed to 6. we will have to see if bt sport works on the 4k firestick to prove this. Im not sure which version of the firetv you have but im betting its the newer one with android 6.

We feel the same way too, continuous price increases, less games and less options to watch any content + less support will eventually result in our cancellation of this subscription and moving away from BT all together for internet too.

Yes you assume correct, it isn't rooted and I install manually after downloading.
I have a first generation fire box which is running software version 5.2.6.7 and Fire TV Home version 6.1.1.0-117
If there does come a time where it stops working for me I'll have to stick to using Ace Stream and saving money on a cheaper (but more data) sim only deal lol

I've got my firestick 4k and indeed it does install which means its a version/ sdk issue of some sort. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it running, it sits on a black screen when starting. Could you indicate on apk mirror (with links) which versions of
google play store
google services framework
google account manager and
google play services you are using, there are many variants so you would have to provide links to each release esp google play services.
I'm especially interested in which google play services version and variant you are using. I've noticed when testing some of these other apps fail to load.
I'm using the latest BT Sport apk.

Are you able to help with this???

I have been able to get BT sport app working on all my fire tv devices (fireTV 4k, 2nd gen Firestick etc etc). It took quite a lot of messing around but I finally have it down to 4 files including the BT sport app itself

Please share which files, which repo and which versions worked for you and if the order of installation was important, that too. Thanks

Hi there
Was there any further progress on this one?
Ave just got a Firestick and would like to get my Bt Sport is onto the tv if possible via the stick.
Thanks in advance.

I put the diggz repo mod on my firestick and I get all the sports sometimes I have to dig a little. But I always find a sport that I'm looking for ,always
