I have a 1st gen rooted Fire TV. Apps often take a WHILE to open. Does anyone else have this problem?
Bumping this. I did a factory reset. It didn't help. Running 5.2.6.0 rooted FireTV 1. Installing and running apps take a while. Most of the time you wait on a black screen with three animated dots in the lower right corner. Sometimes the whole FireTV freezes while it tries to open the app. All other functions are fast including running apps.

Hi. I tried posting on another site but no one seemed to be experiencing the same issue. I recently switched from SPMC to 13.2. After just few days navigation became very slow but video played fine. It would keep getting slower despite clearing cache then it just wouldn't start--immediate crash.
I switched back to SPMC and still menu was slow, video perfect. But today it just wouldn't launch. After several reboots and clear cache from fire os menu I got it to work. It played a video with no problems, however, I know based on how navigation sticks its going to crash again. Problem is I can't force a crash. It only crashes on startup, making debugging impossible I think.
I'm basically using just genesis and a few program add-ons all from add-on installer. I've used aeon nox and ccm skins. They both do the same thing.
I'm thinking fresh start but there's little reason to think I won't end up back here.
The only other relevant piece of info (maybe) is I recently installed clockwork mod and installed rbox latest firmware. Then I updated the remote from there. It may have nothing to do with anything but without a log I don't know how else to explain it. Anyone else having similar problems? Any and all advice is welcomed. Thanks.
I just installed the new release of spmc 15 isengard and it is running very inconsistent. It often freezes on the homescreen and if I jump to the amazon home screen and then try to go back sometimes it will give me a blank grey screen and require either a force stop or a restart. Has anyone else tried this or even the standard version of kodi isengard as I think they are pretty close to the same thing at this point.
I've been running standard Kodi 15.0 with PlexBMC in the Amber skin for a week or so, so far no issues.

Did you install it and just do a fresh install or did you restore your previous setup? I think the problem happens when I restore my setup after a few freezes and restarts and everything is fully updated it seems to stop. It still gives me an issue launching the sacrificial app with llama however.
It was a fresh install, not a restore.
Yup, the oem version of Isengard is laggy on the box and stick...I had a flawless Kodi setup before I upgraded...
I have a few rooted boxes and I use xposed to use spmc as my homescreen. My issue is that after about a few months of use the device will just randomly start loading to a grey screen. It is at this point that I have to mess around with the voice control button on the remote and unplug the wifi etc to get it back to the main amazon screen then force stop kodi and relaunch it. I am not sure what causes this issue but it can be quite a hassle getting the amazon screen back when I use kodi as the default launcher and the screen gets stuck on this grey screen. I've even had to do a restore on some, luckily i have rbox bootloader on my boxes or I would probably never be able to get back to it. Does anyone have this issue and know of a remedy?
I apologize if this not the correct forum for this post. I tried the Kodi.tv forums and no one seems to be having this issue.
I'm have a FireTV v1 running 5.2.1.1 (no updates since Aug). I am also running Kodi 16.1
Up until a few days ago, Kodi would always stay open even when the FireTV went to sleep. When I woke up the FireTV, Kodi was still open and updated with any new content.
Over the past few days (nothing changed as far as I am aware), when the FireTV sleeps, Kodi exits. I have to reopen Kodi and wait for it to load and sync. This is not a desirable behavior.
Any thoughts on why this may have happened and what I might do to remedy it?
Thanks
My first thought is don't let the box sleep.

mine does this as well. Its a gen 1 on the newest firmware, so jailbreaking isnt currently an option. I have two of these, and one doesnt have the behavior at all. Id really like to fix the one closing out of kodi.
I've been struggling with issues on this AFTV for awhile. My other AFTV is problem free. It's got to be something in my setup but no idea what?
Old issues:
Kodi could not be launched from the main menu. It would crash everytime if I did this so I needed to launch it from settings/manage apps after force stopping it.
***I also couldn't plug in my usb stick or it would revert to a blank install (no video sources, no thumbs, stock skin)
--This I attributed to a glitch with the way I was storing my thumbs on usb but no matter how many times I tried to fix it, it just wouldn't work.
Last week I did a fresh install, wiped data and flashed the latest rom. I also formatted my usb and went through the setup process again to store thumbnails on USB. It worked...sort of
New Issue:
Kodi can now be launched from the homescreen without crashing. HOWEVER, it reverts right back to a fresh install, blank kodi, no sources, thumbs, etc!
--If I force stop it then launch it again, everything goes back to normal (my setup is intact, thumbs are imported from USB.)
***There's ONE more piece of the puzzle that I'm hoping will give someone an idea...everytime I launch kodi, the AFTV seems to temporarily lose it's hdmi connection with the TV. I get the black screen with "no signal" listed in the center. It comes back once Kodi has booted up.
--This happens when it's launched from the main menu only. If I hit force stop then launch it, Kodi starts right up (correctly, setup intact). I notice it skips the splash screen and just goes right to my Homescreen.
Thought I'd take a shot and see if anyone knows what's going on. Would really appreciate any help. I tried to be as thorough as possible but if there's any questions, please help if you think you have an idea. Thanks
