I have created this little android app for my own use. The main purpose of this app is to install any app that is on you android phone/tablet to FireTV/stick. All you need is the adb turned on your FireTV/Stick and Allow installing apps from unknown sources.
Here are steps copied from Amazon
Turn on ADB Debugging
You must enable ADB on the Fire TV device before you can connect to the device.
From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
Select System > Developer Options.
Select ADB Debugging.
Get the IP Address
You need the IP address of your Fire TV device on your network to connect ADB to it.
From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
Select System > About > Network. Make note of the IP address listed on this screen.
Now Just open the AGK fire app attached below, enter you FireTV/Stick IP Address and select the app you want to install on your FireTV/Stick.
Credits goes to alexjlockwood for "https://github.com/alexjlockwood/AppListLoader" which is the backbone for my app.
Also Thanks to all the wonderful tutorials on android app development on the web.
Any Suggestions are welcome. I will try to address as soon as I can.

Tried it and its awesome!!!
Imagination is your limit.I have installed Chrome Beta, Xfinity TV (which covers lot of subscribed live channels like ESPN, ESPN2, CNN ( YOU NEED TO HAVE SUBSCRIPTION) etc), TWMC (XBMC for Android) and all of them works well. Great Job!!!!
Thanks for this. I will try this when I get home.
Android TV
Will this work for Android TV devices as well?

It should work. I haven't tested any. I have fire stick only. Any device that has adb over network turned on should work.
I'll try it tonight and let you know. I have an ADT-1 Developer Kit.
I think ADT-1 uses port 4321 so when you set your ipaddress add :4321 to the end of it. Thanks for testing.
Looks great. Super simple. Saves a bunch of time, thank you
Can't get it working
I have enabled adb and install of unknown apps, but no apps are installing to My Fire TV. When I select an app to install, I see a window pop up very briefly that says "Installing app", but then nothing.
It's awesome

Hmm, doesn't work on my 2013 Moto X also. :crying:
Amazing app! Thank you!
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Thank you! This worked flawlessly (version 1.1) on FireStick. Much faster than upload/download from Dropbox.
I haven't tried the direct apk, only apps installed on my phone (oneplus one).
edit: Had a moment where it would toast "installing", but then fade and do nothing. Killed app and restarted FireStick, and worked again. Not sure which of those two actions fixed it.
I have a few suggestions:
1. Go into your XDA settings and enable the donation button. You deserve compensation for your efforts. This is a great app.
2. When the app executes any adb command, like "adb install ....", you should target the IP address specifically. Some Android devices, including the Fire TV, will already be connected to an emulated adb device if developer mode is turned on. So when the app connects to the Fire TV, your adb commands will fail because there are two connected devices. I think this is the source of many peoples issues. You can direct adb commands like this:
Code:
adb -s <ipaddress:5555> ...
Note that the port number is required for this to work.
3. The app can be used on a Fire TV to install Fire TV only apps onto a Fire TV Stick. However, navigating with the remote is a bit broken. When the app list initially loads, make it so that the first item is selected/highlighted by default. This will allow the Fire TV remote to move the selection down the list. I found a workaround that allows this to work for now. If you press the menu button on the Fire TV remote and go to the apps settings, when you return to the app list, the selector will be present.

Aha! I will try that. I had no idea about the port.
BTW, your app looks much nicer than the Fireinstaller app that is available on Google Play. Maybe you should make it available there. Make it work for both Fire TV and Android TV. Call it "Sidestaller TV".

Hi,
I recently installed SPMC launcher version on my FireTV. When I rebooted, it launches straight into SPMC, but never makes it to the menu. Just a black grey screen. I can't get back to the Amazon menu in any way. I can't uninstall SPMC to restore the launcher. I've tried via adbFire, but it says it's not installed.
Any recommendations on how to restore my launcher to kftv?
I can access the FireTV via adb or SSH. I just don't know what I need to do from there.
Thanks!
Sorry... I just figured it out. I downloaded the newest version of adbFire, and it allowed me to delete it. Thanks anyway.
Please Read: I am making this post to help my fellow hd 8 & hd 10 kindle users out with things I have found working and useful to me that I got working with my kindle. Please remember that doing this stuff can be dangerous unless you know what you're doing. Enjoy my findings!
Ready to ROOT your device?!
Follow these step's and I'll try making this as simple as possible.
Step 1. First we're going to install adb and get shell command working. This youtube video is probably the best visual way of getting it done. Only watch 3 minutes and 37 seconds of it, Skip the rest of the video. Click HERE. (give him a thumbs up for making the video).
Now open up Command prompt and type
Code:
adb devices
It should show a 16 digit serial key with "device" to the right. SUCCESS!
Step 2. Now let's run RootJunky's script. Download and extract the files, Click HERE. Run "1-Install-Play-Store.bat" file and let it load. It should list your device serial key and load up to the main menu page. Follow the order on the menu from 1 to 4. Now this was made for the fire hd 7" tablets but some of it works and some might not, I had a problem with ads loading up on lockscreen but found another way to disable them which is under "Disabling Amazon Services" down below.
Step 3. Let's get ROOT! We are going to install KingRoot and run it, kingroot will also install purify which is a nice handy program but you can remove it if you want later on. Now once you run KingRoot its going to search for the best possible method to root your device, it may or may not find a way but there should be a second option to install root. Do it. Some people have found that you may have to try multiple times to root to get a success or try updating the google framework through the play store. (My google framework is V4.4.4-1227136)
I have attached the kingroot apk down below or you can download kingroot from there website. Click HERE. (If you have any problems please post it and we may be able to help.)
Now let's disable some thing's we may find useless..
Disable the lockscreen
Open up command prompt. Type in "adb shell", Then type in "su"
Then copy this into command prompt.
Code:
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db "UPDATE locksettings SET value = '1' WHERE name = 'lockscreen.disabled'"
You will not get a confirmation, now type "exit", then type "reboot".
Let the device reboot and enjoy! Now install a new lockscreen.
Want it back?
Code:
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db "UPDATE locksettings SET value = '0' WHERE name = 'lockscreen.disabled'"
*This is messing with the sqlite in the actual android system files, please becareful and don't go around changing values in system files.
Disable Amazon's FireLauncher and replace it with Google Now Launcher
Note:
Load up ES Explorer, make sure it has root enabled in settings.
Before you run this command please download a new launcher and either install it normally or you can copy the apk file into the "system/app" folder and chmod the app to "-rw -r -r" in properties. Once the apk file is in the "system/app" folder, you can either install it from that location or disable Fire Launcher, reboot, and the app should auto install and load.
*Installing Google Now Launcher requires Google app from marketplace(Link below). Now Launcher allows you to use widgets. If you use Google now launcher please keep a back up launcher like nova launcher just in case until you get now launcher working. Google now launcher is tricky.
Open Command Prompt.
Type in "adb shell". Then type in "su".
Then type into command prompt,
Code:
pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
After reboot if you get no launcher don't worry. Just enable firelauncher and install a new launcher(IE nova launcher) and then disable firelauncher. (Try updating the google framework.)
*To Re-enable, replace disable with enable.
*Don't forget to type in "exit" into command prompt twice when you are done and or before unplugging your usb.
Disable Amazon's OTA(over the air) updates
Go in to ES Explorer(set root access).
Now in ES Explorer go to system/etc/security
locate "otacerts.zip" and I made a copy of it and renamed it to "otacerts.zip.backup" just in case i needed it.
AND..
Now in Command Prompt, type "adb shell", type "su".
Then type into command prompt,
Code:
Pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota
Pm disable com.amazon.settings.systemupdates
Hopefully this disables all the updates! Enjoy!
Google Play Store not working?
Solution 1. (¿GotJazz?)
Open up Kingroot's Purify app.
Try putting Google Account Manager and Google Services Framework on the Purify Whitelist.
Solution 2.
Load up Command Prompt.
Then type in "adb shell". Then "su".
Code:
pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
You will not get a notification that it worked but it does.
Open Google Play or Reboot device. If that doesn't work, read on..
Solution 3.
Re-install Google applications
Go into system settings >> apps & games >> manage all applications
I then went into every google application(this will help remove any settings saved and email addresses) and cleared the data and cache of each app.
After that was done, I then uninstalled each of these apps,
"Google Account Manager, Google Play Services, Google Play Store, and Google Services Framework".
After uninstalling those, run the rootjunky's script(link located below) and install the play store which is option 2 I believe.
Also remember to turn off google play store auto updates!
Disabling Amazon Services
Start up Command Prompt.
Type in "adb shell". Then "su".
Then type into command prompt.
Code:
pm disable (app name(IE. com.amazon.ags.app))
*To Re-enable, replace disable with enable.
List of Amazon apps that are okay to remove.

Yeah, its not the default wallpaper, and changes on its own with generic backgrounds. Did forget about ota, powering off until I have the time, I'm elbows deep in a Ford Probe project for the time being. Thanks so much for finding this, hopefully I get time to really contribute soon. Glad to confirm

You're very welcome sir. So happy I found out that kingroot worked. I am currently looking into getting a new lock screen and once I post my findings I'll let y'all see as well as changing the lock screen wallpaper. As well for the fixing google play store I am still currently having problems after that adb command, it worked for a good minute longer than usual.

I would install an opengapps.org package with FlashFire (Arm, 5.1.1, nano or pico)
Flashfire will install Google framework and extra support files, that should allow playstore to work better.
should work fine, but no guarantees

Yeh I need to look into flashfire, I used rootjunky's script to install it. Thanks for the idea, I'm gonna check it out.
I don't think I am going to use flashfire. Seems really risky of bricking me device. I'm going to try installing the apps manually or through adb. I'll keep doing some research on flashfire though. Thanks

Yeah, I had to cobble together my own Play Store solution. The differences in the versions of the apks used together really matters it seems. Luckily, I haven't had any issues since I got it running. I would highly recommend turning off Play Store automatic updates as App Store versions of certain apps are intentionally out of date as per compatibility. Eg, Facebook.
Holy crap opening up TB I can not wait until someone comes up with a list of **** thats safe to freeze/remove, so much amazon crap on this thing!

Thanks for this. I'll consider when and if i make a cleaned up ROM/Bin
Yeah you must hide fire launcher through adb in order to use any launcher. Thanks for the list. I've been trying to figure out how to disable the lock screen all day and it seems impossible. Idk but maybe someone someday will provide a modified settings app. Idk.

"com.amazon.avod" -amazon video app, i don't have prime, useless to me..
"com.amazon.kindle.personal_video" the amazon video app, i replaced this with mx player.

I disabled them all, ill keep you updated if i see a performance boost or battery boost.
Freshened up the main post! Hope its more readable.
Also note, multiple user profiles seem to break with the disabled apps in my list, personally believe it to be Fire Launcher's fault, probably responsible for handling the switch over, but I don't know too much about 5.1.1

can you try disabling all those but leaving firelauncher enabled? lets see if it gives you error's, if it doesnt, instead of disabling firelauncher, use the hide command instead of disable and see if that works. I would like to know what app is in charge of multiprofiles..
Please look at section for disabling amazons ota updates, added more to it! Thanks.
Hi
I have a Fire TV STICK Gen 2 TANK TataSky Binge Edition which comes with preinstalled Binge app.
I wanted to use the device without Binge Subscription Just to watch youtube amazone prime and others just as a normal Firestick
But without binge subscription the device will not allow to open any other Apps including YouTube or VLC.When i Try to open a subscription Expired Message shows
So i Unlocked aand rooted using Magisk and uninstalled Binge app.But Now the The try to open any app does Nothing.
Also replaced Amzone laucher with wolflauncher and still the app wont open(Even tried to lauch activity through ADB,and does nothing)
So I downloaded prerooted Stock Firmawre and flashed but after the setup completion the Binge app automatically Installed.
So anyone know how to use this stick without Binge but with stock firmware .
Currently I am using it with LineageOS 12.1 .But i like to use Alexa .
Any Help will be appreciated

First of all, you need to tell me what app is giving the overlay. I also need to know the priority of that.
I do not know anything about tata sky binge but we can try.
When your stick shows you expiration page, click on the alexa button, does the blue bar appear above or below the expiration page?
Simply saying, is the alexa voice bar visible or not
I also need the binge app, if you can share the apk (the one which is auto installing after flashing prerooted system image

Thanks for the app, is the stub app preinstalled on the FS?
I need more info, and seems like no one else is interested in sharing that.

sorry for the delay in reply.
today i reinstalled stock firmware registered with another Amazon account completed the setup.
Then installed youtube .When i Click open button Nothing Happens.In home screen The Binge Icon already there(maybe stub) so i installed Binge App too
Now when i click Open The Overlay saying that Your Binge subscription is Not active.
I can press the Alexa Button and Blue bar appears and can talk to Alexa while staying in Overlay screen.
So without binge app no overlay.But app just cant Open.
So i guess the overlay from Binge App It somehow intercept the Intent and show the overlay
Attached app pulled from my device
Bing app com.tataskymore.open.uat

It's always the same for the prerooted and/or the stock rom.
pm.disable or uninstall the app won't work.
Seems the app comes over the air as soon as the stick gets connected to the internet (setup).
The binge app is part of some weird DRM, I guess boot1 related (serial or whatever...) but an attempt to change the serial with idme command failed too.
Besides the binge app, I guess there are some other apps and/or settings that gets pushed...
K4y0z looked at it in 2019.
I think without such a binge stick on the desk, it's a really hard job.
Without a binge stick in hands, the closest way to examine this thing is probably a full TWRP backup of an registered binge stick, in the best case with a valid working subscription.
If you restore such a backup on a tank, it should work the same as the original stick. A mmcblkboot1 backup shouldn't be necessary, but may be become handy too.

probably right.As soon as it connects to internet it downlaod OTA i guess .
If it Just only the Binge App then uninstall will do the trick.But without Binge App clicking the open button do nothing.
Tried to launch the app using ADB and same result.nothing Happens .
The lauch activity get blocked at system Level

If the stick is doing same thing with the prerooted image then its changing system partition, and not the bootloader, and if lineageos is able to open the apps then its definitely the system itself.
We need to compare the system partition before and after the "System Updation part " during Initial setup process.
Either its modifying /bin folder or /framework
We need to compare these folders.
We can push a binge clone to the system so the normal update will not be able to modify it.
There are fotaprovider and ota apps which must be removed from system.
We will see about that,
BTW
I he can setup up the file i gave yesterday,
Enable the second option.
It will toast out the currently running app

I lost a bit here.Cant find any file you mentioned.
i already installed Rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/fire-tv-stick-2-tank-prerooted-stock-t3912271 this thread and installed Magisk too.Unfortunatly i cant open magisak but can get Su on ADB.
Do how can i replace Bin Folder and how i can get that folder from prerooted image?
Also with Lineage OS i can open apps installed.
so there maybe the options.
one to block the updates even before on setup screen
other one is to remove updates after the setup
or patch Binge App

Yes, something gets altered, but this must be triggered somehow (at the setup) by some unique IDME data stored on boot1 partition.
And yes, the bootloader (aka preloader) sitting on boot0 has nothing to do with it.

You can play with the TWRP file manager, in case you've an OTG cable and a mouse... or you can use TWRP shell, and use adb commands like cd and ls

Same here, TWRP file manager or shell, commands like cp, you may be able to find a list of adb shell commands in the net.

I'm unsure about a fake binge apk, might not work. Can't remember, but that may be tested already.
As SweenWolf said, compare system before/after the setup might be the best move for now.

yes i am usind adb and TWRP command line to push and pull files.Currenlyt dont have OTG cable that suitable for fire stick.
And to replace the bin folder how can i get files from stock image?

Be careful with this.... I tried going though registration process and disabling OTA, deleting the binge app.
When booting the 5.2.7.3 the device wouldn't let me enter another amazon account when I logged out of the one that was tied to the stick originally.
The result was I had to flash pre-rooted stock again, and the binge app became apparent yet again.
As @SweenWolf said it is to do with the app writing to system each time registration connects.
I don't know of anyway round this (I looked everywhere) K4y0z and Sus_i Tamojitray all had a crack at it, and AFAIK lineage was the only way round it.

Sorry I didnt post this Update soon.
But i already confirmed that it has nothing to do with the system partition
What i actually did was take a TWRP backup of my FireStick just after i completed the initial setup.Then i re flash the Full stock ROM.Then Restored Only Data partition turned of my Router(Just to block WIFI) and booted firestick
Installed VLC from ADB and tried to launch VLC from settings>Apps Nothing Happens
Then I installed Binge App ADB(firestick Not connected to internet yet) and then opened VLC and the subscription expired page appeared.
So i can confirm that this has nothing to do with system partition.
and its somehow linked to amazon account and that specific Firestick .so this stick cant use like as retail version.
but can use LOS(Ofcourse without Alexa)
the only hope here is mod the Binge apk.I found some Amazon specific permissions and activities related to subscription Expired page.But i dont know the subscription check is from Amazon or Binge apk

Yeah I knew it was tied to the serial and amazon headend, but thought it had to be part of /system to have that level of control (preventing apps from opening)
Ofc lineage works :good: and Alexa is a spy anyway lol

i have tried twrp backup from other firestick 2ng gen
(which has stock firmware installed without tatsky bing ) but it's same the bing app automatically appears from no where my last options is lineage os but it has some flows that google voice search is not working and also bt speaker is not working and the bigest one is alexa eco devices are not working with it if you guys get any update one how to bypass tata bing app please let me know
I saw an old Thread about installing a Stock Settings Apk on Fire TV but sadly it doesn't work on new versions, I'm looking to do this because I want to be able to access settings without needing to go into Fire TV launcher and I want to have access to advanced settings like changing keyboards, accessibility, Device Administrator, etc. Which aren't available by default in Fire TV settings.
Does anyone know of anything like that that works on Fire OS 5.2.7.1 (Rooted)
My device is the Fire TV 2 [sloane] by the way.
Edit: Here is the old Thread I was referring to (yes it is for the firestick).
You can try my root Settings app.

Unfortunately it has some issues with my Fire TV and crashes. Also I don't think This allows for keyboard switching, Accessibility Services, or Managing Device Administrators.

com.markus.firetools works on my firetv 2 running 5.2.7.4 flawlessly, I have leankey keyboard also and change from this to fire tv ime regularly.
I use pm commands for accessibility such as launchers.
It should be noted I'm using the settings apk from the android source zip at the ftvlaunchx thread FYI.

Whenever I try to open the icons for "My FireTV" or "Equipment" the app just force closes.
@0815hoffi Recently I made an issue in the GitHub repo
Try this Version.
Not tested with FireTV2.
Try this adb command:
su -c am start -a com.amazon.tv.oobe.settings.ACTION.DEVICE_CONTROL -n com.amazon.tv.devicecontrolsettings/.screens.main_menu.OzOobeSettingsActivity
I think its a Problem with 5.2.7.1 update to 5.2.7.3 or later should fix it.
