I know most phones with the same processor is capable of 4k video recording............and wondering if there is any way currently to do this. Like a rom or mod or app?
Or must owners wait for maybe actual lollipop based rom?
Thanks
No, the Fire Phone isn't capable of that.

Hey,
I was wondering if technically will the Kindle Fire (1st Gen) ever be able to support Miracast.
For those that don't know, Miracast was added to Android 4.2 for the Nexus 7/10, and is a response to AirPlay.
I know it will take a while for Android 4.2 to be ported to the Kindle Fire (1st Gen), but I am curious if anyone knows if any Hardware constraint, mainly the GPU, will stop our wonderful Fires from having this feature.
If not, this might finally push me over the edge to buy a Nexus 7.
Thanks!
Wait for Android 4.2 to get realsed and then see.
Sorry for bump this old theme and my poor english... but... i recently flashed the ROM CM11.0/SGT7 in the hope that there appear miracast and i can use my KF with PTV3000. To my great regret the tablet cant see miracast adapter :crying:
Reading some forums i noticed that the problem could be in the CM11... maybe somebody know any ROMs where mirasat is working or some fix for CM11?
Chromecast
I have have Chromecast but some apps is not compatible on KF 1 stock ROM.
Chromecast is better the Miracast.
install web video caster on it..parse error ..using android phone to cast web video html on chrome browser.
I will installs CM11 on rooted KF ! later
I am still on the original 4.0.4 firmware as never felt the need to upgrade. Now there is a compelling reason. My media player WD-TV-Live-Streaming now supports miracast for screen mirroring on TV. Is there oficial touchwiz roms on which miracast works?

BUMP!
might be better to ask somewhere devoted to miracast.
Got my FTW today with the latest actual firmware - so no point in downgrading.
I just installed the latest KODI nightly (helix based) within FTV. There's no chance in selecting 1080 @ 24hz, because the resolution-options are greyed out. Also SPMC is not able to select those setting. So - is this version not able to select resolution options at all? Is there ANY way to force XBMC/KODI to use [email protected] constantly? With 60 (or 50) native 24hz movies are nearly not smootly watchable.... stutters every few secs

its 60hz only, afaik its not possible to change refresh rates in android.
Android L has auto frame rate switching, so hopefully the Fire TV is updated to that OS. Its not a Kodi thing, but and Android issue which has not supported 24hz till this day

Seeing as it's still on 4.2... somehow I doubt that. Custom AOSP builds is a different story though.
Linux May Be The Solution

Openelec and AmLinux have auto-refresh rate switching. How hard would it be to get a Linux build on the Fire TV?:fingers-crossed:

They already have Fedora running on it. But it's more about kernel support and the kernel video driver than the Linux dist.

The 2013 kindle hdx was updated from 4.2 to 4.4 when the 2014 kindle hdx was launched. So who knows, when the fireTV 2 launches with android L/android TV next year they might just update this device with the identical firmware too. Just trying to be optimistic here lol.

Hi,
is there any news on this? My Raspberry supports it perfectly, so I would like to get a faster hardware, and the Fire TV seems to be a nice option, but without framerate switching, its worthless
could someone port this script over from another android tv setup to help with the 24p /24hz

Hi guys. I received my kindle fire HD 8.9 one day back.
I want to watch 1080p Videos on YouTube. But, couple of applications I downloaded from kindle store are having options upto only 720p.
Why is it so?
How can I watch 1080p?
If I need YouTube player and root, kindly tell me the easiest procedure that serves my purpose.
Thanks a lot.

Currently my Fire TV Stick 4K is running in 32-bit mode with support of 64-bit ARM-v8-A. I'm asking if it's easy to change it to 64-bit? I used AIDA64 which provides device info of my device. This is found in the CPU tab of the app and is labeled as instruction set.

We just need a 64-bit kernel and 64-bit OS.

Yeah I see why now because the OS it's currently using is 32-bit and I'm really hoping we get Fire OS 7 soon with support for 64-bit along with a kernel with it too

I don't think Amazon will ever make a 64 bit os version for its stick, On Cube it may be possible but on sticks, i don't think so

They really need to update the fire 4k stick to android 9 instead of bringing out other trashy sticks in a higher os. Maybe if enough people shout for a pie 64 update...... Who knows?
@Skel40, I have your Debloated rom 6.2.7.3 running ftvlaunchx and firesetiings with ATV launcher Pro , will it be safe to use your Buildprop Tweaks on this version with the aforementioned modifications or will I need to go back to firetv launcher first??

I know the first-gen bueller box got an update from kitkat 4.4 to lollipop 5.1, but I believe that is the first and the last fireTV with a major OS update until today.
Is amazon going to push an update with the next major version of Android onto the 4k stick? I doubt it.
Seems there isn't any support at all. And its a shame, really.
They preffer to start selling new crappy lite sticks in 1080p max
Where the f*ck is the f*cking PIE update for the 4k stick!
We need it now!
PS: I'll take it also in 32bit

The Build.prop tweaks are completely safe to add yourself no matter what state the Fire TV is in with or without the AFTV launcher

Amazon really messed up with the specs. The 4K is more powerful than the new sticks so it wouldn't really make any sense for them to not release the next major release considering how up to date the specs are from a cheap device that's more capable of 4K and having very similar boards to the current ones that replace the old second generation stick. I take it in 32-bit mode considering it to be the only option for what the 4K can handle like Nvidia's Shield TV Tube's same 32-bit only mode.
