Thanks!

Hello everyone,
are there APK's available of the Amazon Fire TV Stick Versions of the TV Apps from UK like BBC IPlayer?
I have a Germany based Account and cannot download them through the Amazon App Store since the Workaround with the region change doesn't work anymore.
I therefore tried to sideload the normal Android Versions to the Fire TV Stick but they don't work with the Remote.
Would really appreciate it if someone could extract those TV Apps and share here.
Guide to extract the APK's is available here: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-transfer-amazon-fire-tv-apps-to-a-fire-tv-stick/#more-3475
Thanks in advance.

You don't need to sideload them. Go to amazon.com --->Login with you username/password(German account login credentials should be possible here). Go to your account and select Manage your content and devices. Select Settings tab. Change the country to UK from the country settings.
Now restart the fire tv and you should be able to search for UK apps and download them. You can even search for those apps on Amazon.com and select install it on fire tv.

Sadly this method isn't working and wasn't working then. So from what i've read everywhere in order to get the app somewhere else outside of the UK you need to get the APK.
So i would still be interested in those APK's if someone in the UK can extract them from their FireTV-Stick and put them into a dropbox or something else.
Thanks in advance

One easy way is to install FireStarter and then go to update tab and update or install Kodi from there. FireStarter is a great launcher as well.
Thanks I just tried that. It installs ok but when I try to update Kodi I get "Install blocked for security your phone is set to block installation of apps obtained from unknown sources". I have old software on Fire TV so in developer options I can't turn that option off.
Is there any other way to update Kodi without uninstalling first.
Fire TV version. 51.1.0.1-user-510055620

Kindle fire 1st gen not only has no camera but also runs android 2.2.3 which is not compatible with pokemon go
There is a way that i did it;
Go to pokemongoforkindlefire.com on your kindle fire
Follow the instructions on the website, it will tell you how to get google play
Once you have google play download google maps
After you have downloaded google maps download pokemon go
Next go to settings > wireless > location based services and turn it on and make sure pokemon go and google maps are enabled too.
Launch google maps and press the current location icon
Exit google play, start pokemon go and enjoy

I haven't tried this, but I am sure if it does work, you will not be able to use the AR capability due to the fact that the Kindle Fire 1st gen. has no camera.
Can't even download fom Google Play store.
How do I get around that?
What if it says no Gps signal but everything is on
I've side loaded the latest apk but when I open it, it's saying it needs google play services to run. Is their any non rooted workarounds to this? I just want to use my free trial on my fire stick lol thanks in advance
followed the instructions here to get google services working

Hi,
I have Firestick 4K 2019 version, would it be possible to run subway surfers.
KIndly help.
Note: I dont have google play store installed on firestick yet. I request a solution without google play store.
Thanks,
If you have it installed on your phone, you can sideload it using apps2fire. Go in the fire TV settings, select "my fire tv", then go in "developers option" and finally, enable both options there, allow ADB and installing apps from unknown sources. Go in the apps2fire app, go to the "install" tab (the last one) then search for your device. Go back to the first tab, find the app you want to install, select it, then tap install. I can't guarantee that the app will work, as I don't think it's even in the android tv play store, and the app is made for screens in portrait mode. If it works some menus will probably only accept touch input, though you can sidestep that by using a Bluetooth mouse.
Thanks, I will try this and let you know if it works.
I am able to install the application but it didnt launch, I can notice that it is trying to change orientation.
Then installed set orientation apk and but the firestick in portratit mode , still no luck.
Anything else you suggest ?
Thanks for your suggestion
