Install Amazon app store app onto the FireTV. Once installed, scroll down to Apps on the left hand side. You should see all your install apps.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the app list (the place that you disabled them from) they're there confused me at first too but I noticed it when I scrolled to the bottom.

First completely close Google play. Next go to settings/application manager and open Google play store then clear cache and clear data. Then try to download an app and see if problem persists. This happened to me too before but that was due to slow Internet speed.

didn't work,, I tried this before.. tried again today,,
my internet speed is not also a problem, sometimes I have slow speeds that made an app download last forever but still has download progress shown on the notification tab
problem not yet solved.. T.T, but thanks for the reply
Its just there waiting for me to tap..
I kinda fixed it myself.. after reading android manual about notification.. I just reset app preference on application manager
Settings> Application Manager > tap menu (two choices, Sort by size and Reset app preferences) chose Reset app preferences
your download progress should be back when you are installing an app on the web or on google play..

Kodi opening android home screen

Hi
I have the Eminence theme installed on an unrooted Fire TV. The eminence skin lets you edit built-in functions of the buttons (tiles). I'm looking for a way to use on of the buttons to open the android home screen where my apps are. I can edit the button with an ActivateWindow(10001...) function but this just opens up a window in programs. I can access the apps there but would prefer the Android home screen Can anyone help?
Can't you just use a link to the Android app KTVLauncher? That will boot you to the retail Amazon menu.

Yes, we can use favorites for this.
Go to program addons - Android apps and add a favorite for kftv launcher. Then add this favorite as a button in your theme settings.

Secure folder reinstall

Hi all,
I uninstalled the secure folder because it is conflict with NOW launcher. the app drawer is not showing any app. Anyway to reinstall it?
Thanks.
Do you mean the secure folder? I don't think there is a way. They don't like each other. I've only been able to run either Google Now Launcher or My Secure folder. Uninstalling Secure folder should make the app drawer work properly. if it's not showing properly, you man need to reinstall the launcher.

Hi it is an add on app which is called secure folder. i uninstalled it and the app drawer for NOW launcher appears.
Check through your settings if there is an installation option. If not maybe the Samsung App Store?

If you want to re-install Secure Folders, go to Settings -> Lock Screen and security. Scroll down to where it says Secure Folders. This will put it back in.
However, Google Now Launcher will stop working. If you want to put back the TouchWiz, you can either uninstall Google Now, or go to Settings -> Applications. Select Default Applications in the upper right. Near the bottom is Home Screen, select that and change it back to TouchWiz.
Thanks all. Either now or secure. Sad

angka8, have you tried Nova Launcher? You can get it to look pretty much like Google Now if you want. It's pretty customizable. The only think you can't get is Swipe Left for Google now. You can have it activate other ways. Some people have it set when you swipe up. I have mine to activate when I press the Home button on the home screen. I'm a huge fan of Google Now, but was Nova was recommended to me. It looks exactly the same and Secure Folder works with it.
Strange, both are working fine together for me. I have no problem accessing my app drawer.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve, but have you looked into certain "apphider" apps? they have app hider apps that install on your phone and actually need a pin you can create to access. It's almost like having another App drawer on your phone that is hidden and you can install apps into that hidden area. food for thought

Not sure why you guys dont look in the SECURITY section in the settings menu.
But my phone as a built in phone lock option, where you need the pin or pattern /fingerprint of the phone to open apps.
Also, there is a launcher option to change if you want an app drawer, or all apps on the desktop.
