Gonna try to sideload Angry Birds on my Fire Stick 4k tonight, but was wondering what was popular (or simply works with Fire Sticks) among the community

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.
So im sure this has been asked before but I couldnt find the specific answer I was looking for. Basically I have a bunch of emulators on my tablet. I have the latest gen Kindle HDX 7inch and was wondering, if I got the fire tv stick + the fire controller, could use the fire TV to stream my emulator to my TV while using the controller? If I cant do it with those exact products are there any others that may work instead? Thanks a bunch.
Most, if not all, devices that are running a recent version of Android support screen casting.

Screen casting works fine. Though PS4 Bluetooth controllers have a slight bit of lag. But very usable once its not a fast paced game.
Hi,
Does anyone have a good emulator setup on the fireTV? (with list of best emulators to use)
I seen this: http://www.retroboxtv.com/ and wanting to set it up on my fire tv 1
Tried a few gamecube / wii emulators but none seem to work on fire tv.

The Fire TV has a bunch of exclusive apps and games that can not be accessed from other amazon devices or other android devices. Is there any way to download and buy (for paid apps) those exclusive apps from other amazon or android devices? I am interested in a few fire tv apps and games but the fire tv is not available in my country.
Any ideas?
You can try mimicking the FireTV's build.prop on the other device or using something like Market Helper etc but I have a feeling Amazon might have other checks in place against this.
Does the app Market Helper have a fire tv option?
I want to download this exclusive fire tv game: http://www.amazon.com/Shantae-and-the-Pirates-Curse/dp/B015QGY98G
I already acquired it but I do not have a fire tv to download it. Could someone with a fire tv use my amazon account to download the game and send me the apk? Please pm me or post here if you are interested.
You can change your Country in your amazon device Settings at the Website. I downloaded a bunch of US Apps, that useally not available in my Country. Its really easy and takes only 1 Minute.
Problem is the game is fire tv exclusive only, it does not let me download it from another amazon device, anyone with a firetv wanna help?
I just download this game for our friends Talos91.
Send him the apk. I runs without problems on my other (not Amazon) android device but on none of the devices of Talos91.
How could that be possible?
