Hey there, trying to see if hola.apk works on AFTV.
I get this error message when I run hola and try to run an apk from hola.
it says
Error Showing VPN Service Dialog
Error trying to show the Android 4.0+ VPN service dialog
this shouldnt happen and it is a standard feature of Android 4.0+
but your Android device may not support VPN auto configuration
Can someone help me?
Thanks

If I remember correctly, the FireOS does not have the normal Android VPN client. There are instructions on getting DroidVPN client working in the following thread, but I'm not sure whether that would work in conjunction with Hola..

Yes, but you have to be rooted. Are you? I have no problems with my sideloaded Hola.

despite the fact i have a rooted aft i still got the same message about VPN auto-configuration mentioned above.
any ideas?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hola strictly a browser VPN? Meaning that it works in conjunction with specified websites and not the whole connection?

It's not just the browser - you get to chose the app that you want geo-located elsewhere and the traffic to that address is tunneled. Netflix, Pandora, Amazon are the sites I usually use Hola to simulate US location.
As far as the VPN auto-cfg message...I don't know, could be the AFTV version: I still have the old rootable one.
I have 2 fire tv's both running same software versions hola works fine on 1. The other gives me vpn error. They are mirror images of each other, I can't for the life of me find the reason one works and not the other. The only work around I've found is going to an older version of hola. Unfortunately it's the version that requires use of mouse

This guide will work with any OpenVPN friendly VPN provider...
IPVanish is used in this tutorial but the method introduced here should work with any VPN servcie that supports the OpenVPN protocol.

I tried searching the forum and Google, can't find an answer. I am trying to be able to remotely provide tech support to Fire Tv's/Sticks, anybody knows how? I tried Teamviewer Quicksupport but wasn't able to remote in like on computers. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If you are rooted, Teamviewer Quicksupport works well. When you are rooted and a remote access is requested, you will be asked to grant root access once so the remote view can work. I use it all the time for my parent's firetv overseas and am glad they are rooted.
I also tried contacting Teamviewer on this and their response was around Amazon will not approve their app for remote.
For my parent's firetv, it wasn't rooted, so I sold it on ebay and repurchased another one which could be rooted. Total net loss was about $25.

This seems really useful. I'm rooted but had some trouble connecting last night. Is it a paid app? I saw there was a full version but what does the free version get?
I already have a few ways to connect remotely to my computers so this would primarily be for my aftvs. Might come in handy if I'm at work and my wife has problems with it (which happens often)

I don't know about the paid version or the free version. I have a version of apk at home which I can send to you if you like. Just install that and you will have full remote capability. I didn't know there was a paid version of quicksupport. I have most of the needed apk's and have a batch file which installs all of them for a new firetv that I build for friends and family.

Yes please. That'd be great! Maybe I got it wrong. A quick search brought me to the site and it does say full version but it says free as well. And there's a number for sales and one for tech support? Never seen that but haven't looked to deeply. Could be like an open source type deal which is donation optional for personal use but you need a license for business. Anyways, yes I'd like to try your apk when you have time. Thanks!

Thanks! Oh yeah, I can definetly manage the apk install lol. I think I just got a little confused with the setup. When I installed it the other nite it asked for a remote but then the only other thing I found was quicksupport (which I assumed you'd install on your android phone/tablet). That combined with the fact I thought it might be a paid app just made me think your apk was different. But I'll get it working.
I'm really surprised this is a free service. I use to have a similar app for Mac which was free app a few years back then they started charging. I actually don't even bother telling my parents about kodi because if it has issues they won't be able to fix it, but if I can do that remotely it changes things. I appreciate the time. Sorry for the miscommunication.
Not a problem. Let me know how it works for you. You need root to enable screen sharing and the first time you request remote access supersu will prompt for root access confirmation. Teamviewer is free for personal and household use and no adds. It's really good.
Good luck

I haven't had loads of time to figure this out but might know why I'm struggling. Can teamviwer not remotely connect from android to aftv? I've been trying to do it with my phone and then my tablet but do you need to use a PC or Mac as your remote?
That's the only reason I can think as to why I can't get it to work. But for me, it'd be a lot more convenient if I could use my phone/tablet since those are the devices I always have on hand or very close by.

I've been having issues with quick support only allowing screen sharing. I have a rooted fire tv 2 and a rooted Fire tv stick 4k and i'm running the same file you linked to
on the google play store. It never asked me to grant root permission like other apps have.
In the advanced setting of quick support there used to be an option to "Install Additional Add-Ons " but now that is always grayed out. So the only other thing i can
come up with is to find the Addon's or through adb manually allow root access to the quick support.apk.
It's doesn't make sense. this used to work on rooted Fire Tv's but not any longer. You post is now 5 years old and i'm wondering if your having the same issues i am.

Will need a bit more info.
Are you blocking updates thru the router or opendns method ? Had you blocked updates thri the router &/or opendns for other FTV(S)'s before and left things in place ? Are you running a VPN on it? What app market location are you in or are trying to access?

Why will I block updates and all lol. Just unboxed and plugged it in. Didn't mess up with dns and other blocks and stuff too.
It's just that the screen is black. Apps install fne through recommendations. I'm using English (India) so maybe indian market

If you had worked on FTV's before. You could had left update blocking up on your router. So had to ask to clarify.
http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tv-stick-and-amazon-appstore-launch-in-india/
The app selection on the Fire TV Stick in India is much more limited than in any other country because paid apps and apps with in-app purchasing are not yet supported in the Indian Amazon appstore. Although my Downloader app is 100% free, it does have in-app purchasing enabled to accept donations, so my Downloader app is not yet allowed in India. I’ll try to find out when apps with in-app purchasing will be allowed on Indian Fire TVs. If it seems like something that won’t be available for a while, I’ll release a version of my Downloader app in India with the donation buttons removed.

Change to English(UK) & see if that helps. Not sure if you will have to add a UK address in you account for it to work right. Also read the comments to see what others are experiencing. Seems the India FTV App Store is bare bones at the moment.

Do you know any way I could get an android TV apk of a certain app? I've tried market helper, it won't work as google has blocked it's access token. No hopes with build.prop edits. I've tried emulating android tv on avd but that too sucks as play store is not proper over there. It's stuck at sign in.

I believe this is what your looking for:

Should be the latest version. Just sideload it & install it. It's probably not the AndroidTV version. Will see if that one is out there later.

One last question: (noobish) How do i make normal casting work/screen mirroring on ftvs work in background all the time
Idk but after 2 days the app store automatically started working lmao. Maybe they blocked it for the first day
Looking for this free app https://www.amazon.com/Gaana-Bollywood-Music-Radio-Fire/dp/B06XWVS54P or https://www.amazon.in/Gaana-Bollywood-Music-Radio-Fire/dp/B06XWVS54P
Most likely available only to Indian customers. I am not able to download this on my fire tv, as its registered to a US address.
Thanks in advance if someone decides to help

Two things:
1) You need to install the Amazon Appstore app on your device
2) Purchase the app (yes I know it is free) through the desktop Amazon website. This will then tell Amazon's servers that you own the ability to use the app.
The Amazon Fire TV apps use license verification with the AppStore servers to verify that you have rights to use the app.

Hi,
The reason i asked for apk is because i cant download it directly from amazon appstore due to the geo restriction. Even with vpn it still failed hence i wanted to sideload with the extracted apk. Im sorry i kinda noob an new about this but all other sideloaded apk works fine except this.

I get that you are in a geo-restricted area. Unfortunately, Amazon makes it a bit more difficult to get Fire TV apps working correctly outside of Fire devices as is... and being geo-restricted doesn't help. :-/
I own a shield, which is why I responded in this thread, and I had been looking for an updated USA Network app myself.
There are technically ways to remove license verification, but I believe that type of discussion is frowned upon on XDA due to piracy concerns.
That said, I tried the apk myself as I own the app in my Amazon account. It doesn't go past the animated splash screen. There is probably more that needs to be fixed for it to work correctly.
