I have the Fire TV Stick all set up and awesome-ized. I have one issue though. There are a few Fire TV apps that I would love to have for the stick, but without access to a Fire TV, I can't migrate them over. One app inparticular, Minecraft PE, is a must have. I have the app from Google Play, but it doesn't have remote functionality like the Fire TV version does. I can easily purchase the app through amazon on my computer, but have no way to access it without a "compatible" device. How can I get access to Fire TV apps I've purchased, without having one? Stupid Amazon should just make it compatible with the stick, as it obviously works on it. Ugg

Unfortunately, there's no way to download an APK from Amazon even if you purchased the app.

Ugg. My son's world is Minecraft right now, and it would be great to have the remote enabled version on the Fire TV Stick. Know of a way to request getting it added as compatible for the Stick?
Interesting. I just pulled an update to 0.10.0 from Google Play and it works with the controller now. All is well with the world now. Haha

Actually you can if you create an Android VM in VirtualBox, sideload the Amazon app store, purchase the app from the store and backup the APK with ES File Manager.
I use BlueStacks (rooted version) on my Windows 8.1 laptop. Installed the Amazon apk and that device shows up under Amazon as a generic Android device. Exactly as the previous poster (install, backup using ES, sideload the apk on FTV), except I use BlueStacks.
Would anyone who's used the DirecTV tablet app on their aftv mind chiming in as to if it is still working, and if so what version?
I've installed version 3.3.7 on both my rooted and un-rooted aftvs and all I get is "Your appliction version is no longer supported. Please download the latest version from the google play store." when launched. The unrooted box is running firmware v 51.1.4.3_user_514020320. The rooted box is running whatever version I had to downgrade to in order to install the su binary.
I would also like to know what version is working, also if the phone app would work or the Kindle Fire app

I do not have a Directv account so I cannot log in, but I installed the tablets version and it opened and asks for my email and password. How I got it? I have 1Mobile Market installed. If you have a browser installed on your Fire TV, google "1Mobile Market 5.8.3",download and install 1Mobile Market. Open 1Mobile Market and search directv, the tablet version is 4.0.5, install it. BTW 1Mobile market is a third party app store that is an alternative to the play store. Its worth keeping a couple third party app stores on the Fire TV so that you can download apps without having to worry about sideloading through adb. I recommend 1Mobile Market and Aptoide.
Hi for us not living in the USA can someone provide us with the newest Directv app both the phone and tablet version..
I would believe I could use the phone app.
That's the only app I miss for my AFTV.
Now I use my subscription on my laptop but could be sweet to have it all in one box
Thnx in advance

Also downloaded the latest from Google Play and my Fire TV Stick says that the version is no longer supported and to download the latest?
Does anyone have a working APK?
Has anyone figured this out yet?

Thanks for posting that. Can I ask where you found it from? I take it the app was modified to allow it to work? Just wondering who did it and where I can follow for updates. Also, it would be nice to know that it's not grabbing any login info.

That's the same exact apk from the google play store. Just tried it and doesn't work with the Firetv.
Does anyone please have a modified version of the Directv app for Firetv?

sorry that it didnt work you,but it work for me on the fire stick
Any update on this? I put the tablet version on fire tv and got it to bring up the login, but then got an error message saying fire tv could not open web links. I then put on the current version I have on my phone. That one I got through and seems to mainly be working (with a mouse or mouse program). I can get to the guide, select a program, select watch on phone, but then I just get the waiting spinning circle forever. Works great on my phone and my iPad. It would be so nice to have it working on Fire Tv or Roku or even a computer (but I can't get it working through any of my browsers, and the interface on the computer sucks compared to the apps).
The current phone version works perfectly (with mouse), but on WIFI only, wired wont start the stream.
FYI. I tried again for the heck of it and the tablet version (com.directv.navigator) does let you login now and stream with the Fire TV using wired ethernet!!!

Yea - same here. Unrooted stock Fire TV Stick and when I try the Navigator version I can't get past the log-in screen. I enter my credentials and then a webbrowser launches with a DirectTV website to enter further credentials but I cannot type on it as the DirecTV App displays a null keyboard which blocks the ability to enter the required information into the website. Has anyone been able to overcome this?

On my FireTV (not stick) - I just closed the Chrome popup window that asked me to login (without actually logging in) and the app proceeded to finish the login process from within the app itself. Try that?

I had the same problem but , for some reason, it worked after I paired a bluetooth mouse with the stick. maybe it was a fluke, dont know, but I needed to get a mouse anyway to use with other apps. I'm not sure if I am using the directv tablet or phone version.
I have a generic Android TV box but I like how the FireTV video apps are optimized for use with a remote control instead of touch.
Is it possible to install FireTV APK to standard Android device?
If so, how do we pull the APK off the FireTV?

Try installing akgfire on your android. Dont think i used it for the purpose you stated but you might be able to pull apks from aftv.

Downloads are at bottom of first post
Thanks! We have to install the Amazon App Store or else none of the FireTV apps will work.
Then, we can install any apps from that.

I installed an app(MBC video app) on a couple of Android devices successfully after installing Amazon app store but got mixed results. The app is designed to work with the remote and not a touchscreen. Also the app in this case had issues with displaying ads via adFire. So your mileage might vary...

Unfortunately I don't think you can control kodi with that. You should try Yatse. Its way better IMHO.
Hello,
The Hulu app was recently updated to support live TV I was wondering if someone could upload the APK for me.
Here's the 4.0.0.342 apk from my Fire TV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mgvqg1ugzhrjpr5/com.hulu.plus-FireTV-4.0.0.342.apk?dl=0
Here's the old 3.2.a version from my other FireTV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xw9rv2nxet2lchu/com.hulu.plus-FireTV-3.2.a.apk?dl=0

Thanks for apk. I'm so use to my firestick, but got an android box to mess with. Would you happen to know if there is anyway to install this on a 905 box? The google play store only allows tablet apk which sucks with remote.

I don't know anything about the 905 box. I assume you'd sideload the above apk and see if it works.

Doesn't work, it complains about the lack of the Amazon app store and even when you sideload it and sign in, Hulu just halts at a generic loading error screen. This version I bet checks the build.prop, and I doubt I can successfully use a modded version (to spoof the build.prop) with Appcloner. I got it once to complain about entitlement before I added the Hulu app to my Amazon library, but nothing more past that.
