I've noticed that after the amazon fire stick OS 5.0.5.1 update it automatically removes and blocks the firestrter app. I've tried to re-install it but the OS removes it again. No issues with the Kodi app noticed...I resorted to lunching it from the managed Installed applications menu and it works fine.
1. What's going on?
2. Will it be a fix for this soon?

If your rooted you can disable the app blocker service, and re-enable firestarter and firedtvlauncher.
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
pm disable com.amazon.tv.settings/com.amazon.tv.settings.tv.AppDisableService
Code:
pm enable de.belu.firestarter
Code:
pm unhide de.belu.firestarter
Code:
pm enable com.altusapps.firedtvlauncher
Code:
pm unhide com.altusapps.firedtvlauncher

The home button does not work to get to firestarter, but can still be set to launch at startup and accessed from the apps menu.
If you're like me, Kodi gets hung-up sometimes. If you sideload 'Terminal Shortcut Pro' from the play store, you can create a shortcut icon on the home screen using Nova Launcher (and other launchers I presume) to force-stop Kodi and restart it with one click. You can also use the app to launch your saved commands. And the app works perfectly on the FireTV including navigation with the remote.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.hp.terminalshortcut
Open the app and click the plus sign to add a new command, type the below commands and tell it ro run as su.
Then create a shortcut on the homescreen to your specific command using Nova.
RESTART KODI:
am force-stop org.xbmc.kodi
am start -n org.xbmc.kodi/.Splash
Other commands you can create shortcuts for:
KILL-ALL (kills all background apps):
am kill-all
And I'm sure there are other terminal 'shortcut' commands that folks can think of...delete thumbnails, block updates, etc.
Has anyone found an app that can do this yet? Without using the shortcuts/different home launcher? I have been looking for a app which kills all apps running or something similar but have not had any joy for my Rooted Fire Tv2?
You can use Terminal Shortcut for that i think. Just create the am kill-all command. You will just open the app and then click the command. Have to be rooted for it to work tho im pretty sure...

I tried both commands today, but just comes back with an error???? I'm rooted, on AFTV2 with Busybox, & kodi running off my SD card, I typed the commands exactly as you wrote but dunno why it wont work? Have you any ideas mate?
I installed this appmanager which allows you to launch apps then go to a settings menu to force closed pretty quick.
You can now get privileged access to AppOpps without using shell commands for individual apps. You do NOT need root access, but you do need ADB.
1. Download and install AppOps by Quxingchen. Open the app and select 'privileged mode' when prompted and select next. Install the manager via the install button in the app.
2. Open the Manager App and read the instructions. To start the server to manage app access to information, you will need to run the ADB code provided every time you reboot your phone IF you want to manage permissions on a live basis.
3. Run the script in ADB:
Code:
adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/files/start.sh
4. If successful at starting the server, the box at the top of the manager app will turn green. Now go back to the AppOps app and select next to finish the installation.
5. You now have access to all app permissions and you don't need root. Reboot for permissions to take effect. They will hold without restarting the manager server, but you'll need to start it again in order to further edit app permissions.
Handy tips:
-Disable notifications in SystemUI. If you don't care about the annoying notifications from this app, this is a lifesaver.
-Disable Android System notifications. Again, most of these are annoying. It will halt the messages about USB connected to low power charger, ADB and media transfer from appearing in the statusbar. Drop down the bar to see them and toggle the settings.

Hello, i've problem with tasker and magis - i think after last tasker update it doesnt recognize magisk.
I can not use tasks that require root access.
I tried to remove the Tasker from magisk and re-add it, but no window appears where I can grant permissions.
For example, an attempt to turn on GPS using the tasker ends with the following message:
- Magisk 17.1
- Magisk manager 6.0.1
- Tasker 5.6
It started to work - i had to clear tasker cache and app data - later i tried to turn gps on via tasker and it asked to grant perrmission to write system settings
If you are on an AOSP based ROM like ArrowOS you may have noticed that with ReVanced Manager installed for primary and secondary user, installing YouTube on secondary user doesn't work.
I found a way to do this properly. There might be better ways, let me know in case:
Check ReVanced-Patches Github Repo under com.google.android.youtube expand Details and see which Target Version most patches are for (example: 17.49.37)
Download the YouTube apk with exactly this version (example: 17.49.37) from apkmirror onto your tablet
Download latest ReVanced MicroG apk onto your computer (for example to C:\Temp)
On your primary user-account, install and open ReVanced Manager and select the downloaded youtube apk to patch, then install
Since I couldn't find where ReVanced Manager stores the patched Revanced youtube apk temporarily, I copy it after it's installed, from the installed apps folder. To do this use MixPlorer or any other file explorer app that allows to copy installed apps, and copy the patched ReVanced Youtube apk to your tablets download folder, then copy it to your computer (for example to C:\Temp)
Uninstall revanced youtube from your tablet (also revanced microG shouldn't be installed)
Download and extract android platform-tools to for example C:\platform-tools\
Enable USB debugging in the 1st user's developer settings, connect the tablet to the PC
Switch to 2nd user
Open cmd/terminal, navigate to C:\platform-tools\ and enter: adb.exe devices No device will be listed, or your device will show unauthorized, that's normal
Switch to 1st user. enter again: adb.exe devices There will be a USB authorization dialog pop up on the tablet's screen. Select "always" authorize.
Switch to 2nd user. Run the command adb.exe install <drag n drop revanced youtube apk file here> for example: adb.exe install "C:\Temp\YouTube ReVanced_17.49.37.apk" and hit enter
Do the same with Vanced microG that you downloaded in step 3.: adb.exe install <drag n drop vanced microg apk file here> for example: adb.exe install "C:\Temp\microg.apk"
Now, the apps should be installed both in the 2nd user and 1st user account
If u don't want that app in 1st user, you can switch to the 1st user and uninstall it there. That app in 2nd user should remain untouched
