First post, and hoping someone can help me. I'm new to Fire HD/Kodi, having only had the rooted stick for a week or so. My kids have loaded up a KidzDragon front page that I'm unable to get out of. I'm limited to kids TV, Movies, and music.
My oldest said they downloaded something.
I can't find the file/folder/uninstall/add-on anywhere.
Can anyone assist?
Have you tried unplugging and replugging it?
First try hooking up a keyboard and hold Alt then press Tab to bring up recent apps and press Tab again while still holding Alt to select what you want.
Release Alt when on settings,the launcher,or another app if listed.
Settings will list your apps including KidzDragon. (the rocket image if you are in a hurry)
Select the app from settings and the list has an uninstall option.
Simply uninstall it and all should be good.
Edit: Whoops didn't notice about Kodi,and I have no idea about what Kodi even looks like or if it has access to an app list.
Is the home button failing to work on getting you out of the KidzDragon app?

When I m eg in the Market or running Internet and press the Home Button I don t return to the home screen anymore. I must have changed something but don t now what.....
no ideas anyone?
Ideas about what?! You're not describing your problem. What happens when you press Home?
I only see the screen 'flicker' 1 time
Have you tried rebooting the phone? Is your phone rooted? Is it unlocked or branded? C'mon, give some more details if you want help!
You might try installing "Home Switcher" from the Market and see if it helps.
Rebooting does not help. Original 2.1 rom, installing home switcher does not help either. Did I clean install last night, home button worked fine for some hours and after this there s again the same problem => no returning to the home screen and only a short 'screen flicker' when pressing the home button.
I would speak to HTC if that did not work. They should repair it for free because its under warranty.
It's unlikely to be a hardware issue if it sometimes works.
When using Home Switcher, what apps show up in the list? (might be a rogue app that is stealing the home button function by registering itself as a launcher application).
Do you have any apps installed? (you said you have done a clean install but it's not clear if you installed any apps after that; please note that you might have enabled backup to your sd card [Settings -> Privacy] and that even after a clean install some of your settings will he restored from that backup).

I'd suggest booting into safe mode as this will stop all 3rd party applications from running. If it works from there, it seems pretty likely that the issue is related to an application you have installed.
To get into safe mode, power off your device, and then power back up again whilst holding down the menu button, and keep it held down until the phone has completely booted. Once booted, you should find it says "safe mode" in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Note that if you do this, all your 3rd party widgets on the home screens will stop functioning - even when you have exited safe mode. You will need to delete and re-add them.

Dave

Very good idea/advise.
This worked for me
Reading through this thread made me wonder whether the fact my Home and Search buttons suddenly weren't working could have been caused by an app I installed the day before (No Lock).
Before uninstalling it I decided to give it a test. It was on "Locking Disabled". I set to "Locking Enabled" and tested the Home button - voilà, it worked. Tested the Search button, it worked too.
Set the app back to "Locking Disabled" - Home and Search buttons still working.
My buttons, home and both volume buttons are dying. I think it's just wear and tear really which is bad because I've had it less than a year.
Hello. So I got into a problem this morning while updating Golauncher EX. I updated it and when I pressed home, I accidentally chose to have GoTo (a lockscreen application) the default app for that. Now my phone can't return to launcher at all.
When I reboot I just get a blank screen and can't do anything besides bring the notification bar down.
I know I can easily fix this by going into settings, but I can't get to that without launcher. So I tried to get into safe mode (boot holding vol down, track pad, and menu) and I can get there after the phone vibrates (it says safe mode in bottom corner), but before I can do anything the phone reboots. I don't really want to resort to a factory reset yet, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Also I haven't rooted my phone yet.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
The only thing i can think of is press the search button, and see if that brings up the search screen. I would navigate my way to market or something, install adw, then hit home. The pop up for default should come up again, then you can make golauncher ex default?

Delete it from phone with computer. I think all the files pertaining to the app should be in sdcard/data and data/data...
Thanks for the tips guys. btw I tried using search, but nothing would pop up, but for some reason hitting menu would make a keyboard appear.
Anyways, something weird happened where when I tried booting into safe mode, my phone seemed to wipe all my settings and went into the normal launcher. It didn't delete all my apps, but made the majority of them strangely force close whenever I opened them.
In the end I just rooted my phone and everything is perfect now!
Good to hear.

For those of you who've been waiting for a decent streaming app, it's been kind of annoying that there's an app there which is pretty much what you need, but it's off limits as it doesn't work with our beloved phone.
After seeing some posting a workaround for those with the mac client, here's a method I managed to get working with KE7 without any need for it. This is from my post on the Plex forums:
Go into advanced settings and make sure everything is enabled (green check in all boxes)
Open video
Wait for audio to start
Press and hold home (middle button) until you get the recent opened app.
Press Task Manager
Press back button (right of the home button)
Press resume or play from start - either one works
Watch your video.
I just received a notification while booting my Fire TV Stick that a new software update is available.
I have sideloaded Kodi, replaced the icon and wondering if an updates overwrittes my Kodi, settings and icon???

I am assuming you used Lama to set ikonotv as your main screen icon to start kodi and then replace its icon with kodi icon. If this is correct then you will need to push them again every time you power your unit off or after every update your stick will take.
Will the fire stick software/firmware update mess up any Kodi settings?
No, but I have noticed one thing since the latest update, if storage gets low and I play anything with Kodi the remote will not do anything inside the video screen. So I have to hit the home button and clean storage before the remote will work while media is playing inside Kodi. The remote still works on everything else, but the back button, directional buttons, play/pause, round enter button, menu button and rewind/fast foward buttons will not do anything, so if I click on a video and it starts playing, the only way to get out of the video screen is to hit the home button. This has always happened with the onscreen keyboard on all OSs, if the storage gets low the letters no longer appear on the XBMC/Kodi keyboard, but this is the first time the remote has not worked while playing videos in Kodi. Its not just the Fire TV remote either, its all devices that control Kodi. The mouse and keyboard also stop working while media is playing inside Kodi if the storage gets to low. If you hit any button or move the mouse, it does nothing if storage gets too low, but they still work after hitting the home button. Just thought I would let people know incase it happens to them too. Simple solution, just clean storage. I recreated the problem too by filling the device with a random large file, after deleting the file the problem went away.
Hi,
I have a rooted 4.6.1 fire phone with Xposed, and I was wondering if it is possible to remap the phone's camera button to another camera application
I have already briefly tried remapping with the additions module, but it didn't recognise the key.
Cheers,

I tried some apps (unfortunately they were a bit "old": 2011/'12) which can map buttons to apps, none worked really, except one was promising but I couldn't finish testing because the xxxxxx320 version had some Amazon voodoo going on, I'm not even going into details.
I will go back on 820 and edit this post when I'm done testing. Btw. I guess you saw the threads here on XDA about hardware key mapping, press buttons to run a script (to launch an app), etc.?
edit: "Home2 Shortcut" was unsuccessful. The app is from 2011 and made for Android 2.x. I could select and configure everything I wanted but nothing happened.
Same problem, as seen from CM11
Home2 worked for me, using CM11. Requires a long press, and can't seen to use it as if hoped (as a back button, to let me kill the on-screen buttons) but it's something.
Tried some other older apps, as you mentioned: KeynumberTracker showed key # 358, but the associated ButtonRemapper app doesn't give that as an editable option.
