My friend has asked me to put kodi on his firestick for him but he hasnt set up an Amazon account yet. I have installed kodi using my amazon account then deactivated my account. To test I used my dad's account to see if kodi was in the apps menu but it wasn't.I had to go to manage applications to get to it. [/size] Is there any way to easily open kodi when a new account is added?

I just spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what turned out to be a simple answer. Not having found the answer anywhere online, I'll post it here in case someone else is going through the same thing.
I rooted my son's Kindle Fire with KFU (thanks to everyone who has contributed scripts & helpful postings on that topic), launched Google Play and made a mistake by logging in under his older google account. Although the Google help claimed I should be able to switch to any account currently in use on the device simply by going to menu | accounts under Google Play, it was failing to recognize his other account, which was in use for email, and Google Play wouldn't let me configure an additional account.
The key: The account must be in use in another *Google* application (seems obvious in hindsight). If email is only set up with the original Kindle email app, the google system doesn't see it, and only some of the google apps have the "add account" function.
Solution: Use Google Play under the "wrong" account to download the free GMail app. Setup GMail with the "right" account. Return to Google Play. Menu | Accounts | select the newly set up account and you're good to go.
You should have been able to add another account under settings / accounts & sync / add account / Google.

on stock there shoudl be an app called "Account and Sync Settings" or something to that effect, you'll need to add the new Account.
then when you log into the market you can go to settings and account and select the other as the default account..
BUT: This isn't always 100% I've had issues where where it occasionally reverts back to the initial account.
Google really makes it a PITA when this happens.. I wiped my phone and did this exact thing, and it felt like it was pretty much a pain.
Works Great

Thanks a lot for the solution. Gmail was the key to adding another account. Once I created the Gmail account for the new corrected account, I was able to choose that profile in other parts of Google (like Play Games) on the Fire.
Then, how do you delete the wrong account ?
Thank you so much !
I am using a Fire HD 10 (2017) and my wife accidentely added her Google account below my profile. Since the stock version does not provide "Account and Sync" below settings: how can I remove a Google account from my profile? Removing the account from the device using another device does now work since the device always tries to re-authenticate the removed account. This is driving me insane. As a bonus the Gmail app crashes since then...
ok i am having an issue i have kindle fire rooted and google play i am giving my kindle to my mother and i can not find a place to change it to her gmail instead of mine. can some one help me please when i hit home then account all i see is my account and i have yet to find a account and sync area. again on a kindle fire rooted with go launcher.
Settings > Account > select the account you want to modify on the left (Google) > tap on the email (on the right), tap the three dots in the top right corner > remove account.

There is only amazon account in this menu, no Google one
Hello all,
If I deregister my amazon account and add another account will I lose my installed xbmc app? When I go to deregister I am warned that some content will be removed in the process.
Will that include XBMC?
Thanks!
It will still be there. I've deregistered a fire stick and gave it to someone else and XBMC was still on it in his account when he registered.

No I've had this way since the shield console first came out it's great for games you can switch google plus profiles to keep saves seperate... But you cant switch some games like doom and battle of sol because only the account that bought it is associated with that game... In shield hub you can log in and out of profiles with google plus now and use different profiles to purchase games
I can confirm that sideloading the GMail apk allows additional google accounts to be added to the ShieldTV. The Google Play Music app is only associated with the 'first' (or primary) account though. I have an account that is signed up for Google Play Music All Access, but use a different account for general purchases on the Play Store. So far as I can tell, I can select software to install via the web Play Store using my 'Play Store' account and have my 'Play Music' account as my primary account, and it seems to be working ok.
Hey, thanks for the tip. I can see cases that this can be useful. But I wonder the reasoning why by default they limited to a single account?
Yes, a TV is a shared object. But still, there are many ways I can use the shield having personal preferences.
Just to confirm in 2019 on a sony android TV that sideloading Gmail does indeed add another google account which can be switched to on the youtube app. I've got three accounts set up now so we don't spoil each others recommendations
I sideloaded the Gmail apk through esexplorer. Then using a mouse and keyboard I signed in with two further google accounts on the gmail by selecting "other account". When I signed out of youtube app and went to sign back in, all three accounts were available to choose from!
This info isn't easy to find on the web so just updating in case anyone else is looking for the solution
Howdy, I am wondering is there any setting that I wanted allow 2nd account access the app. I mean Owner and 2nd account under multi-user which is I wanted the Owner account allows 2nd account access my app to run.
E.g. I work for Amazon and the app installed under Owner account when I created 2nd account then it seems cannot see (Owner account) Amazon app on 2nd account. How do I allow Owner's Amazon app to 2nd account access. Similar App Share something.
Anyone know how fix this issue?
