That's my first question before installing any rom.
I don't want to lose Amazon Prime Instant Video.
I did some searching works and found the answer is NO, which is really regretful.
If there's any miracle, it must come from this board.
Please advice. Thanks.
Search instant video in the app store. I think you'll need the Amazon store app as well. Should work on any rom. I'm using cm 11 and it runs fine.
Thanks a lot. I asked this b/c I ever tried to install the "prime instant video" app from the Amazon app store, but in the CM11 ROM of an Android tablet (not a kindle fire HD).
It didn't work in that case.
So I doubt whether the "prime instant video" app will still work on the same CM11 ROM, even it is actually running on a kindle fire HD 8.9.
In my understanding, there's no reason to differ the two CM11 ROMs behave differently on the underlying hardwares - i.e., if the former failed, then the latter would fail too.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Still, I heartily wish your "CM11 - prime instant video" experience can be copied : )
If you could confirm that this CM11 link should work

I'll try it.
Many thanks.

If you install the phone version of the amazon store then go to prime videos it will install the correct app and work. I'm doing this on cm11
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

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.

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.
Hello, since a month or so, when I try to watch a video in facebook or twitter app, they immediately stop playing, and there is no way to watch them. The same has always appened in periscope and twitch but until now facebook and twitter never had problems with videos. Youtube videos work fine as always, never had problem with it.
Does it happen to you too?
Any suggestions?
same issue here on fire os 4.6.3, cannot play videos on FB app. The video just plays for 1-2 sec and immediately stops jumping towards the end
Another one with the same problem here.

Amazon has pulled Facebook from the app store. Can anybody post the last working Amazon App Store version of Facebook?
Interesting enough, Facebook is still working on my Kindle. So, I (in retrospect, stupidly) created a backup APK on the Kindle to install on my Fire Phone. When I tried to install it on my Fire Phone and got a parsing error. Will have to wait for a goodly soul here to upload the pre-update Amazon Fire Store version of Facebook...or for Amazon to fix the problem.

Older versions of Facebook can be found on APK Mirror. Here is a link to the most recent non alpha or beta version I could find that should work on the Fire Phone: Facebook 55.0.0.18.66 (Android 4.0.3+)

Thank you, thank you! The build you provided was too recent. So, I had to go all the way back to Facebook 45.0.0.36.146 (Android 4.0.3+) and video is working again! :good:
It seems that at the beginning of August last year there was an update to the Silk browser which broke video playback in many Fire tablets. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cust...QQ7V&cdThread=Tx1NRB3LVTX30RF&cdPage=4&cdSort Could our issue be similar? The tablet issue was finally fixed. It appears that with Silk being the default, and part of the OS, it broke something system wide.

I was able to sideload the Aptoid store and install the "official" Youtube app, not the wrapper app that's currently available. I am not able to login and see my subscriptions. The app works fine but when I try and login nothing happens. Do I need to uninstall the wrapper version of Youtube that's currently installed? Is there a way to get the darn PlayStore installed?

You need google services installed. There are a few threads on how to install it, but finding the compatible versions also seems to be the issue. If you are looking for a version that will be available after the new year (if truly google blocks amazon) side-load and install this one.

It works like the current amazon youtube app, but registers as a TV.
Nevermind

Oh. Sorry.
I never even thought about that.
It's one thing for Google to block a free service but to charge a subscription, then make it so a significant amount of customers can't access it...its just a really bad decision.
I'd definitely contact YTTV customer support and complain.

Probably not. But I think Fire Tv is the most popular streaming device in the world. If enough people complain they just might rethink things. Or if you're persistent enough...maybe a refund, free month, credit.

Yes this version works perfectly fine on my firestick - you can also cast to the app (app must be open on tv) from your phone if you goto the apps settings and select link with code & do same on your phones YouTube app
I cast because the search function of the tv app doesn't show a keyboard input

Fake gps app from play store
I have used wireless adb to
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps,network
settings put secure mock_location 1
I will write up a full tutorial later today. I have another fitestick to test on, so I can start from beginning.
It's sorta a pain in the ass to get the fake gps coordinates right. I installed the app on my phone, then used the coordinates it read out, and typed them into fake gps using Cletus keyboard. It is important for negative - sign.
Notes are it needs a mouse to navigate some of the app, Cetus play works fine.
Feel free to ask questions.
You can try the app here, no Google Play Services required: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/app-youtube-tv-app-fire-tv-t3757074
