Hi Guy,
I recently buy a Android TV Philips PUS7909. It's an android tv based with 4.2.2 on board, unfortunatly Philips make the choice to block LOTS of android function...
I can't install unallowed apps, enabling dev mod....
I just want to know if someone here have this tv, or another philips android tv, and if someone can root it etc etc
Yes i know, it's not even christmas , but maybe someone can do amazing thing on android tv, specially on xda !
Hi,
I've a 48PFS8159 and could not find a way too.
My dream is the possibilty to install kodi/xbmc !
And something like Retroarch with the possibility to connect a dualshock
I too have a PUS7909/12 Android TV and I was disappointed by several things, one of them being unable to install most of Store apps. Rooting would be great as at least it would allow to install .apk files.
New update for this tv soon :
The new Firmware will soon be live.
AND1E_0.9.32.118 (Date published: 2014-11-21)
• HDMI EDID adaptions for Full HD <-> Ultra HD interoperability ( DISCONNECT HDMI cables before starting the upgrade)
• 3D fixes
Maybe we can do something with the update files.....
Should Philips provide the source code of its Android implementation? Are they under the obligation to provide it?

Hi,
I read one comment from Finnish netshop, it's for 55pus8809 model:
1. Install "Developer Tools" from play shop
2. Choose "Developer settings"
3. Switch developer options "on"
4. And "Show more apps in Google Play"
5. Reboot TV
Install "Set orientation" from play to orientation problems, switch "Landscapen" on.
I don't have Philips TV, but planning to buy one
Here is link to source, I don't know how it works...

I tried this, and it's true that some more apps are shown. Would be great to load apk files, but there is no "unknown sources" option...
I have the Philips 48PFS8109.
Developer options are enabled, but there is just no way to enable 'unknown sources'.
With the Google Search function the Settings options is not showing (it works on phones if you search settings)
Not a single application is compatible that gives me a shortcut to settings.
If i try to install an .apk file i get the message you need to go to settings and allow it. There is an Settings and Cancel, but if i press on settings nothing happens.
Does someone know a way to call up the settings menu with Therminal Emulator?
I already updated the tv but do you guys think its possible to just add an .apk file in the .upg file?
I can change the .upg to .zip and add an app in the system folder.

Hi,
that sounds good
I had a look into the updater-binary (firmware/manual/ambilight-fix update zip file) and the firmware is, as we already know, encrypted.
When you have a look with IDA Demo (hex-rays.com) you can see that the encryption key is taken from: "/res/keyfile.txt" which must remain somewhere on the TV.
AES-256-CBC is used and the key/IV is somehow, depends on the content of the keyfile.txt, MD5 sum of the content lines (e.g. one for key, one for IV).

I was on vacation for two weeks and i don't check this topic and what the hell is going on !
What a surprise for me to see what you do here !
Thanks a lot guys !
-----EDIT-------
The method to allow unknow source and install apk via adb working, thank you !
Tryed to install xbmc/ kodi but the launch and just crash, so bad. But that sound good !
-----EDIT 2------
There is a bluetooth option..... i can't connect my dualshock 3 on the tv because we need root for sixaxis controller app..... let's go to install some emulator !
------EDIT 3------
So... After some test, i was able to connect the duaslhock 3 controller in usb, BUT not all touch is recognised. So i can't play Mario Bros on Retroarch. I think i need another controller.
Kodi v14 lastest nightly boot but crash at home screen.
That's all for the moment !

I have created this little android app for my own use. The main purpose of this app is to install any app that is on you android phone/tablet to FireTV/stick. All you need is the adb turned on your FireTV/Stick and Allow installing apps from unknown sources.
Here are steps copied from Amazon
Turn on ADB Debugging
You must enable ADB on the Fire TV device before you can connect to the device.
From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
Select System > Developer Options.
Select ADB Debugging.
Get the IP Address
You need the IP address of your Fire TV device on your network to connect ADB to it.
From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.

It should work. I haven't tested any. I have fire stick only. Any device that has adb over network turned on should work.
I'll try it tonight and let you know. I have an ADT-1 Developer Kit.
I think ADT-1 uses port 4321 so when you set your ipaddress add :4321 to the end of it. Thanks for testing.
Looks great. Super simple. Saves a bunch of time, thank you
Can't get it working
I have enabled adb and install of unknown apps, but no apps are installing to My Fire TV. When I select an app to install, I see a window pop up very briefly that says "Installing app", but then nothing.
It's awesome

Amazing app! Thank you!
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Thank you! This worked flawlessly (version 1.1) on FireStick. Much faster than upload/download from Dropbox.
I haven't tried the direct apk, only apps installed on my phone (oneplus one).
edit: Had a moment where it would toast "installing", but then fade and do nothing. Killed app and restarted FireStick, and worked again. Not sure which of those two actions fixed it.
I have a few suggestions:
1. Go into your XDA settings and enable the donation button. You deserve compensation for your efforts. This is a great app.
2. When the app executes any adb command, like "adb install ....", you should target the IP address specifically. Some Android devices, including the Fire TV, will already be connected to an emulated adb device if developer mode is turned on. So when the app connects to the Fire TV, your adb commands will fail because there are two connected devices. I think this is the source of many peoples issues. You can direct adb commands like this:
Code:
adb -s <ipaddress:5555> ...
Note that the port number is required for this to work.
3. The app can be used on a Fire TV to install Fire TV only apps onto a Fire TV Stick. However, navigating with the remote is a bit broken. When the app list initially loads, make it so that the first item is selected/highlighted by default. This will allow the Fire TV remote to move the selection down the list. I found a workaround that allows this to work for now. If you press the menu button on the Fire TV remote and go to the apps settings, when you return to the app list, the selector will be present.

Aha! I will try that. I had no idea about the port.
BTW, your app looks much nicer than the Fireinstaller app that is available on Google Play. Maybe you should make it available there. Make it work for both Fire TV and Android TV. Call it "Sidestaller TV".

Dude! Your app has been posted on AFTVnews!
aftvnews.com/agk-fire-app-lets-you-transfer-apps-from-an-android-device-to-an-amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick

I'm on Android 6.0.1 stock. I had earlier installed the RedMoon app which is like what f.lux does in Windows. But if that app is running, you can't change the "app permissions" manually. You have to pause/clsoe the RedMoon app and then you may disable the permissions.
Otherwise, you'll be prompted with this error -
Screen overlay detected
To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps.
Anyway, later I uninstalled the RedMoon app but still I can't change the default permissions unless I'm prompted on the first run.
e.g. When I installed the Snapdeal app, even before the first launch, it had all the permissions, but I don't want to give sms/contacts permissions to it. How do I change it?
If you go to the application manager in your phone's settings and find the specific app you want to change permissions for, there should be a permissions option. You can each permission the app has there. Also, the next time you get a popup about the screen overlay, click the Open Settings option and scroll through the list of apps to find any that show the toggle in the on position. For me, the two apps that have screen overlay permissions are Messaging and Facebook Messenger. I have to disable them each time in order to accept permissions, then I have to re-enable the overlay later. It's a stupid system and I'm hoping the release of Android N will find a more elegant solution, but for now it's the only workaround I know of.

Apps made before MM's permission changes don't prompt on demand and are all granted. When you try to disable one of their permissions in a list it will warn you that errors may occur.
I've found a workaround for quickly disabling an overlay for permission toggling. I posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68640666&postcount=14
In my micromax canvas a1 I don't know how to disable the screen overlay setting ????
FireTV gen 1 rooted on FireOS 5. I need to enable some app accessibility services but haven't been successful in my attempts.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Jason.
This page had a few ways to try.... i never had the need, but with root you should be able to. You will have to find instructions for what should be Android Lollipop.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...able-disable-accessibility-service-in-android
also found this as launcher hijack uses the services ....
adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services "app here"
Does anyone here know of a list of background processes or apps to kill to ensure longer battery?
.
I've this a bit of a battle with this phone, especially with "Phone Services", which from what I understand is mainly other Apps making calls to it.
But I've made some progress, to be honest, the issue is Android is far to liberal with access it gives applications. But if they don't run or cannot access the internet, then they can't drain the battery. Here is what I did:
1) Stop Apps from auto-starting, or being started via other Apps. via Apps -> App Launch. When you disable "Auto Manage", it pops up and asks if the app should Autostart, Run in Background, Secondary Launch
2) Disable background Network access for ALL applications (search settings for Networks Access, then select "Advanced"), including system apps such as chrome.. Only re-enable for apps that do NEED it (i.e. such as Gmail)
3) Disable all unnecessary permissions, via Apps -> Permissions, especially thing such as Location. At minimum, set them to "Allowed only while in use"
Finally, the problem with Android permissions, is Google are self-motivated, I found several apps that I couldn't do this for (including Chrome, which was particularly battery hungry). In addition there are dozens of "permissions" that they don't want you to access. But if you're willing to get your hands dirty, then look into using and Ice Box with Shizuku (it's fairly easy) you can.. In addition, you can use ADB to uninstall all the bloated Apps.
App Ops - To get access to all those "inaccessible" permissions. I used this to change all the backgrounds permissions, and remove Apps abilities that prevent the phone from "Sleeping"
Ice Box - To freeze all Unecessary Apps
Note, both the above use a secondary App called Shizuku, all can be installed from the Play Store. But to allow Shizuku to get the system-level access it needs, it must be started using ADB.. The App runs you through it.
Whilst I've uninstalled quite a few apps using ADB, this can cause problems if you're not careful, so I came to the conclusion its best to freeze them with Ice Box. This is what I've frozen so far:

Hi evil,
Appreciate the much needed reply. I assume app ops, ice box and Shizuku can be run withourt root since I'm on emui 10 and the bootloader is locked. Got a few questons for you...
1) I can't find ice box in the playstore. The closest I saw was an app called app freezer by mobizsystems. Could this possibly be it and was renamed? If not please post a link to it.
2) Just to be sure, once i install Shizuku, it'll run me through what to do like a tutorial?
3) For the long list of apps you provided that you froze, could you also list what each of these apps are for?
.
1) I can't find ice box in the playstore. The closest I saw was an app called app freezer by mobizsystems. Could this possibly be it and was renamed? If not please post a link to it.
This is the App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox&hl=en_GB
2) Just to be sure, once i install Shizuku, it'll run me through what to do like a tutorial?
So Shizuku provides the API that Icebox and App Ops use for controlling the phone... It can work without root, but it requires a little tinkering. Follow the step Shizuku tells you, but in a nushell:
1 - First enable the Developer Options Menu (Google how to do it), then in the Developer options enable USB Debug
2 - Installl ADB on your laptop or Mac (https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
3 - Plug your phone into the laptop / Mac
4 - Run the ADB command you laptop/mac that Shizuku tells you, this will start the Shizuku service on your phone
5 - You then use App Ops to control permissions, or Ice Box to freeze apps
3) For the long list of apps you provided that you froze, could you also list what each of these apps are for?

This is the App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox&hl=en_GB
2) Just to be sure, once i install Shizuku, it'll run me through what to do like a tutorial?
So Shizuku provides the API that Icebox and App Ops use for controlling the phone... It can work without root, but it requires a little tinkering. Follow the step Shizuku tells you, but in a nushell:
1 - First enable the Developer Options Menu (Google how to do it), then in the Developer options enable USB Debug
2 - Installl ADB on your laptop or Mac (https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
3 - Plug your phone into the laptop / Mac
4 - Run the ADB command you laptop/mac that Shizuku tells you, this will start the Shizuku service on your phone
5 - You then use App Ops to control permissions, or Ice Box to freeze apps
3) For the long list of apps you provided that you froze, could you also list what each of these apps are for?
