I bought a few Kindle Fire games through Amazon.com without actually owning a Kindle Fire, thinking that I could somehow install them to any old Android device. I'm curious if I'd be able to install and play those games on the Fire TV, or does Amazon restrict it to apps and games made specifically for the Fire TV? Does rooting and the ability to side load change any of this? I suppose I'd still need to somehow install the Amazon Fire apps through the Amazon App Store. Thanks for any help.

It should work. The apps normally will install on any device you have installed the app store on. If they don't show up in your purchased/downloaded app list you may have to sideload them.
Hi ive just installed xbmc for amazon fire tv. Just wondered if there is away to add apk files inside xbmc. Rather than on sidebar? Also tried adding live tv as it worked well on pc. No success on amazon fire tv yet. Many thanks
I've got IPTV based LIVE TV working on XBMC without a problem, so I'm betting it works.
May i ask how you did it please. Because the way i did it via px wouldnt work on amazon fire tv.
Any news on when this might be getting released (not developer release)?
The FireOS-5 has only been released for the FireTV 2nd Gen., but unfortunately for FireTV 1st Gen. is not available yet.
Elias Saba, the AFTVnews moderator, has received his new Fire TV Stick with Voice-Remote and FireOS-5 Pre-installed, and has posted a little review to let us know, what's new and what this new FireOS-5 system update could bring to all existing FireTV Sticks.
Apparently those who ordered the new FireTV Stick bundle will get these changes first, but an update to FireOS-5 for existing devices is on the horizon and should arrive soon in the next weeks!

Is there a updated settings.apk for this version?
Idk what amazon is doing right now, seems like they are having trouble with their update to android OS 5. Their still having issues with audio output on the new fire TV 4k, so it must be the same with the fire tv. Hopefully they clean up these bugs soon because its taking them too long now IMHO.
Elias Saba, AFTVnews Moderator, has informed to all Amazon FireTV-Sticks users:
"A new software update for the*Fire TV Sticks with Voice Remote*bundle is upon us. This update does not appear to be arriving on older Fire TV Sticks that were sold with non-voice remotes, since Amazon is still updating these two bundlesseparately.*"
"No word yet on when older Fire TV Sticks and the 1st-gen Fire TV will receive the upcoming update to Fire OS 5, but I’m told a 5.0.4 update is currently scheduled for early December, so hopefully that will go out to all Fire TV models."

If you buy a new stick with the voice remote I believe that this comes with FireOS 5.

The problems with Hulu are supposedly solved with OS 5, so I REALLY would like it release ASAP.
I am going to change my old MX tv box, have done some research on google, it seems that the Amazon's tv device and the Roku's tv decice, so I decided to select one from this two brands...I found a top tv boxes review one google, saying that the Amazon Fire TV got over 10,000 apps for the tv box but only 140 channels, and the Roku Ultra got over 3500 channels but not as much as app selections like the fire tv. anyone have experience on the both devices? which one is better?
FIRE TV Definitely because it's pretty much android so you can install apk files and you can get kodi and set it up for free movies!
I agree. You can add kodi and other android apps on fire which you cannot on Roku.
thanks

Beware the fire stick is great but can run a bit slow with Kodi. The fire TV box is better.
