Help with modifying apk (decrease SDK) to use with fire stick gen 1

Hello,
I want to give a gen 1 Fire Stick to a friend and I am unable to install HBO GO app as it requires a minimum SDK 23.
I tried to decompile it and modify, but I get errors when recompiling.
Can someone help me and modify minimum SDK to 21?
If yes, I uploaded the app to google drive and can provide you the link in a private message.
I mention that I have a personal account for HBO GO but the European version is different from the US one, it can only be installed on Android 6+ compared to US that also works on 5.
Thank you!

Are you saying there's no HBO Go app for the Fire TV 1? I find that hard to believe.

Here is the HBO Go app from a Fire TV 1 with the latest OS: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjlFvM-kUCwhgrY5T4XdNKif-6P_Uw

Philips TV 754/12

Hello, i bought the 55OLED754/12 Philips TV a few weeks ago.
Now I have the problem that it has the OS Saphi and not Android
Is there any way to root or install APKs from external ?
I really need something.
best regards

Hi,
no - it's not Android - it's a linux based OS... so you need an external device for Android Apps (Amazon Fire TV, Nvidia Shield, ...)

Help modify AKAI AKTV4650J tv Firmware.

Hello everyone,
I have bought a tv called AKAI aktv4650j which has a custom android 9 firmware. While i was trying to change home screen, i eventually had to restore the original firmware. Unfortunately, i discovered that the original firmware does not have google play store or google play services. I have tried to sideload them, but the app is not shown in the dashboard, and if i try to launch it from settings, it works but doesn't let me sign in with google.
I eventually found another firmware for a different tv that has the same motherboard (Mediatek M7332_EU) and i flashed it on my tv. Its home screen is much nicer, it has miracast and apple play, an app to use the phone as a remote controller, and it has google play services and google play store. The only problems are that there is not the italian language and the original remote does not work.
So i was wondering if anyone could explain how to extract the italian language and remote control config from the first firmware and insert them in the second one.
This is my original firmware:
Original Firmware Folder
and this is the Turkish firmware i found:
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1TNq91duEnXrfUpzjH0DMr9Ln_XQwkUiH
Also, i would like to extract the original boot logo (AKAI) and root the firmware, if it is possible.
thank you in advance!
Enzo

Hello to all,

Unfortunately, I found that the original firmware doesn't have Google Play Store or Google Play Services.

Hi Enzo, I have your same TV, I wanted to know if you were able to make the remote control work on the firmware downloaded on the other post, the best one with the play store apps etc ...

You have to install it from the recovery, in the section "install update from zip"

What's your exact tv model?

Its model is 50p8s, but its hardware and software are different from the original tcl TVs, in fact, it is only available in Iran under tcl license.
