Hi guys!
I have not been able to get the fire TV remote controller to work with my old TV.
I want to install LineageOS and I wanted to know if it is possible to add IR codes to test, maybe with LineageOS will work... (my fire TV is sheldonp)
any idea?
Thanks!

I was wondering if the controller support would work on other android devices.

Controller support will work on other android devices as long as that device can support analog joysticks. You will also need to have purchased MCPE from the Amazon appstore as it will do license checking. A fire TV is also required for the appstore to download the correct version.
Hello,
I'm using Napster for a long time - and now I hope it will come soon for Fire TV. I've downloaded the napster.apk and installed it with sideload. The app works, but it's not usable with the Fire TV remote ... and I don't want to use a mouse and kayboard on my Fire TV. Do you have any news if Napster is coming for Fire TV?
Greetings

If you don't mind, and are capable of, rooting, you can install droidMote and use your phone as a keyboard/mouse.
Hello,

Hello,
I'Ve buyed today the K400 from my local dealer for only 29€. But I'm not realy happy with that solution ... I need often the FireTV Remote and the Keyboard. I tried to use it with Facebook and Opera ... but ... yeah ... it's not great ... Is there a solution to tweak the usability with the Keyboard?
Unlike the Fire TV, the Fire Stick TV doesn't have a USB port, so a keyboard and mouse don't seem to be an option (please correct me if I'm wrong). I side loaded the .apk of the latest version of HBO Go but, being an app developed for touch screens, is it possible to actually use such an app on the Fire TV Stick? I can't seem to figure out a way to operate it with the Fire TV Stick remote. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Download an app called wukong from the app store on your phone enables a mouse cursor on the fire tv stick
2 ways to control it usewukong app as mouse and remote to scroll or even better if u have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse or game pad u can use that after installing the settings.apk file to mary the device. I use the ipazzport mini keyboard and touchpad works great.

Interesting, thank you. Are you using this one?

Any cheaper options you might recommend?
yeah thats it amazon has it for about 20...here
use a 360 controller or the gamestop tablet gamepad there's a few other pads that work as well.
I just happened to have this one laying around and it works great.

Are you referring to an Xbox 360 controller to use with the Fire TV Stick? I would prefer to use that if it works. I love that controller and would feel much better than even the official Amazon one.

he says the Fire TV Stick remote works fine.
Looks like he's using an .apk he got from his Fire TV.
Can you use the Firestick remote as a controller? I know how to get everything installed software wise. I just need to know do I need root? Do I need the firestick or Fire TV? Can I use the remote or do I need a controller? Thanks

It works ok with the Nes.emu app because you can programme the buttons & switch the remote sideways & use as a nes controller for your fire Tv stick, but I prefer to use a Fire Tv 2 & a Xbox 360 wired controller which works with nes, snes, genesis, mame, neogeo, gameboy & more emulators because it's faster & more compatible.
Root is not needed.
Hope this helps
Due to Amazon's changes to Fire OS 6 on the Fire TV Stick 4K not enabling Amazon Controller Support because of the incompatibility.
i hope for this also

Yes I just did, it doesn't seem to work at all. I tried using a Wii U pro controller along with the Amazon Controller that's not supported. The only controller I got working without the module was the Xbox One S controller.
