Has anyone noticed that Amazons own game studio has very little support for Fire TV? Out of roughly eight titles they have released only one has made it to Fire TV ?? Curious?

I knew they released Sev Zero for the FireTV, but I didn't know they released any other games for anything. I just looked it up and it appears they have released other games for Fire Tablet, Fire Phone, and iPhone/iPad. That is curious.

Amazon appstore surprised me. Season 1 of The Walking Dead game is finally available on the appstore for the Kindle Fire HDX. The game is great on the KFHDX. Can't wait now for season 2 to come to the KFHDX.

It is indeed a great game. I'm still shocked how well it works on touch screen devices (i have it on the iphone) as opposed to on consoles (xbox and steam as well).
Dare i say it, it's works BETTER on touch screen devices?
Awesome.
Season 2 is now the Kindle. :good:

Yup, it's not even on the Playstore yet xD
Sent from my rooted Kindle Fire HDX 7"
It says the complete first season for free but then you have to buy individual seasons. I'd rather just play it on my PC.
Hi! I would like to know some of your thoughts on Amazon's Android market. Is it dead? Is anyone planning to buy the new Fire HD? What are your thoughts. Will beloved independent developers step up to get ROM's working on the Fire Phone and the coming Fire HD tablets? I personally do not have a Fire Phone. I have only had the original kindle fire 1 and original kindle fire 2, but I am planning on buying the new Fire HD 7". Anyone else excited about the new device line? It seems the original Kindle Fire was the biggest success. Thanks! Looking forward to your honest answers.
actually I'm interested to get this phone.. but it's not officially available on my country, so I have to make another decision

Ah. That's too bad
I think Amazon Appstore is certainly NOT dying. Otherwise, it's expanding and now with Amazon's introduction of Fire phone it will continue to do so. Amazon Appstore, together with Google, is the leader in this field.
Hello guys. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows exactly what is going on in this video.
Is this a custom ROM running Android Lollipop?? Sounds too good to be true.
Seeing is believing I guess.
Awesome if true!! Hope coming soon to our Amazon fire tv's Can't wait.

As he says right at the beginning "this is the adt-1 google developers". The titles are all jacked up. That is not the Fire TV.

I don't know what "adt-1 google developers" is. I'll have to look that up.
What I do know is that the title of his video( Actually all his videos), have the words "Amazon Fire Stick" on them.
It's kinda misleading and had to ask someone that knows about this kinda stuff.
Why would he title almost all his videos like this
He even made an unboxing of new Fire Tv stick... Bummer.
Looks cool though. Would me nice to someday run android 5.0 on Fire TV like this video.
We haven't had no new root available For Fire TV since first root method was discovered to work on FireTV.
Trying not to lose hope and this video lifted my spirits if even for just a second... actually, Split-second:laugh:
Thanks for checking in on this.
Hope someday we can install rbox Fire TV Mods and a whole lot more soon.
Need to hook up my new Fire TV Stick and this would have been a cool mod:fingers-crossed:

Thank you for info.
Understand now what this ADT-1 is.
Still don't understand why title of his video is Amazon Fire Stick.
Hi my fire tv got the 5.0.5 update today and I am based in the uk, however it does not seem to include Alexa is there a way of adding Alexa to my fire tv stick?
I would like to know too. That's the only reason I updated.
Thread cleaned of nonsense.
Carry on. :good:

Trying to find the same, looks like we'll need to await Amazon UK getting the finger out.

I do so love how things like this get announced with no indication of them being country specific...
Hello everybody,
I probably have a stupid question, but how do I know which stick generation to buy from amazon now? Is it mantis or bueller? Is that Generation 2 or 3? I don't get it... Amazon doesn't list any informations about device names.
Thx in advance

Connect with adb, type adb shell and watch out for the name
Stick names from first gen to last, montoya, tank, mantis
First gen box is bueller, 4k second gen is sloane.
The 4k stick currently sold is mantis, the third gen.
the non 4k is the second gen tank

Thx for your answer
I know how to do that after I bought the device, I meant how to find out what the devices are named before buying them from Amazon.
At that moment Amazon lists a normal Fire TV Stick, a Fire TV Stick 4K and a Fire TV Cube. Mantis is which one?

As I said earlier, mantis is the third generation FireTVstick, i.e. the current 4k stick.
That 'normal' stick is the second gen stick, called 'tank', i.e. the current Fire TV Stick without 4k.

I thank you again, but you must forgive me. I didn't expect Amazon to offer different generations at the same time. With the fire tablets, only one generation is offered at the same time and next year, when the Fire 7 FullHD comes out, the old one disappears from the shop overnight. So I thought that there are two current fire sticks, a FullHD and a 4K variant and not that the first one would be the old one. There are still a lot of FullHD TVs out there.

Yeah, they sell different stick versions... as of today the second and third generation.
There are two second Gen Stick versions out (stick without 4k), one with and one without alexa (I think the one without alexa is called international version), but both are 'tank' devices.
If you wan't the newest stick, go for the 4k fireTVStick, called mantis.

But per OP, no way to identify the model Amazon will actually ship you I assume.

Nope Of course you can identify the Stick model, i.e. decide which variant you buy...
like I said, only the new stick is 4k capable (QFHD), you see this in the amz. offer and ofcourse that stick is a bit more expensive than the older FullHD variant.
For identify the older FullHD stick, the 'basic' or 'international' version is imho the variant without alexa... slightly cheaper than the normal FullHD fireStick with alexa (and a better remote).
