I hope I didn't miss this somewhere else. I guess not too long ago Amazon removed the Channel Pear app from their website. Does anyone know where I can download it so I can install it on a newer Fire stick?
Thanks!

I think you are asking about adding a link to he front UI thru LLama... If you are not rooted then LLama is your only bet. But if you are rooted there is a launcher & other options...
Checkout section 4 & 5 here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Amazon_Fire_TV#Launching_Android_Apps_within_XBMC You can use the AFTV Utility to get LLama install regardless if rooted or not..

Ahh.. Right.. Let me find you the thread where they show how to do that.. You have to install/sideload a specific Amazon App store app that converts it to that...
Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/easy-to-access-apps-t2921479
Instructions & where to get the correct Amazon app are in post #9. You should be able to replicate this whether rooted or not....

NP, glad your enjoying your FTV even more now with the easy Apps access...
I was able to successfully link ikono TV to Kodi on my Fire TV stick I bought on launch. However, the new Fire TV I just bought I can't get it link with Llama even after following the same steps. When I go to events menu in Llama, I can link any other app to launch but Kodi to ikono TV.
Anything I'm missing here?

I have my lama set for classic tv. do you want my lama files. You can put them in the lama directory and import from usb and you will be set. but you need to download classic tv. I dislike ikono.tv even as a sacrificial app but its available globally. You can change my profile to ikono easily once you have the files imported. PM me and I'll send it to your way.
Llama and kodi
You must 1st make sure your AFTV has the latest update from Amazon! Then it will restart and work fine! But make sure if you are using the AFTV for the 1st time that you go back and manually do the update! Hope this help have a great night!!
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!

http://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-sti...le-ships-with-latest-fire-os-5-pre-installed/
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 bought the latest Kindle Fire 8" for my kids for Christmas and one of the things I wanted to do was load Youtube Kids onto it. I've successfully done that and have it working fine on the Kindle, but when I try to add the YT Kids app to their Freetime area it isn't being shown. I assume this is because I installed it through the Google Play store instead of Amazon's own App Store.
Does anyone know how I can get YT Kids to display in Freetime? I would like to make it available to my kids without backing out of Freetime.

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.
