Hello guys. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows exactly what is going on in this video.
Is this a custom ROM running Android Lollipop?? Sounds too good to be true.
Seeing is believing I guess.
Awesome if true!! Hope coming soon to our Amazon fire tv's Can't wait.

As he says right at the beginning "this is the adt-1 google developers". The titles are all jacked up. That is not the Fire TV.

I don't know what "adt-1 google developers" is. I'll have to look that up.
What I do know is that the title of his video( Actually all his videos), have the words "Amazon Fire Stick" on them.
It's kinda misleading and had to ask someone that knows about this kinda stuff.
Why would he title almost all his videos like this
He even made an unboxing of new Fire Tv stick... Bummer.
Looks cool though. Would me nice to someday run android 5.0 on Fire TV like this video.
We haven't had no new root available For Fire TV since first root method was discovered to work on FireTV.
Trying not to lose hope and this video lifted my spirits if even for just a second... actually, Split-second:laugh:
Thanks for checking in on this.
Hope someday we can install rbox Fire TV Mods and a whole lot more soon.
Need to hook up my new Fire TV Stick and this would have been a cool mod:fingers-crossed:

I don't think that's an Amazon device. Rather it's

Thank you for info.

Still don't understand why title of his video is Amazon Fire Stick.

Hi! I would like to know some of your thoughts on Amazon's Android market. Is it dead? Is anyone planning to buy the new Fire HD? What are your thoughts. Will beloved independent developers step up to get ROM's working on the Fire Phone and the coming Fire HD tablets? I personally do not have a Fire Phone. I have only had the original kindle fire 1 and original kindle fire 2, but I am planning on buying the new Fire HD 7". Anyone else excited about the new device line? It seems the original Kindle Fire was the biggest success. Thanks! Looking forward to your honest answers.
actually I'm interested to get this phone.. but it's not officially available on my country, so I have to make another decision

Ah. That's too bad
I think Amazon Appstore is certainly NOT dying. Otherwise, it's expanding and now with Amazon's introduction of Fire phone it will continue to do so. Amazon Appstore, together with Google, is the leader in this field.
Has anyone noticed that Amazons own game studio has very little support for Fire TV? Out of roughly eight titles they have released only one has made it to Fire TV ?? Curious?

I knew they released Sev Zero for the FireTV, but I didn't know they released any other games for anything. I just looked it up and it appears they have released other games for Fire Tablet, Fire Phone, and iPhone/iPad. That is curious.

Hi my fire tv got the 5.0.5 update today and I am based in the uk, however it does not seem to include Alexa is there a way of adding Alexa to my fire tv stick?
I would like to know too. That's the only reason I updated.
Thread cleaned of nonsense.

Trying to find the same, looks like we'll need to await Amazon UK getting the finger out.

I do so love how things like this get announced with no indication of them being country specific...
Hey guys, I was checking out the $33 Kindle Fire on amazon tonight and was thinking about picking it up with a PS4 controller mount to go with it.
My main concern is will the PS4 controller work with the Kindle Fire without any rooting or modifications? I don't mind using a cable, but bluetooth would be pretty nice too sometimes. I feel like Bluetooth would need Root access though, is that right?
Second question, are the Kindle Fire tablets easy to root? I've seen a lot of guides on google, but they all really REALLY look like click-bait and survey site ****.. I haven't been able to find a legit link yet.
Looking through the Frequently Asked Questions in this forum seems to indicate that ANY kindle bought after 2012 is a no-go on rooting.
Thirdly, totally random but has anyone tried Pokemon Revolution Online with the Kindle Fire? They have a simple .apk file download on their site so I'm thinking it should be very straight forward but just figured I should ask since I'm posting.
Finally, would you guys recommend this tablet at $33? I mean it def seems like a steal.. pretty decent spec'd tablet at $33 with the Amazon guarantee... but also seems a bit too good to be a true.. like I'm missing some small detail or something.
Thanks guys!
I've been researching this for the past 5 hours goin crazy.. so it seems like IF amazon ships the 5th gen fire with 5.1.4, 5.1.3, or 5.1.2.1 I should be ok and can downgrade to 5.1.2 which should be rootable!
If this works.. I believe the PS4 controller should be able to connect via Bluetooth with Sixaxis app.. but I really don't mind using an OTG cable as Bluetooth will probably eat away at battery. I hope both OTG and Bluetooth work tho!
And as for being worth it.. for $33 I don't think anyone could go wrong!
But any suggestions, comments or confirmation of possible theories is still appreciated!
This is not the 5th gen forum

Is there anything I can do to this thing? Mainly what I'm wanting is to run Android on it instead of the Fire OS. Any other cool things I can do to this specific TV?
Bump?

Remove the back shell of your Insignia Fire TV edition and you can see a bunch of test points on the motherboard.
Before you do this. Make sure the warranty of your TV is expired.

1) you'd need firmware that was build for your TV models' specs to replace FireOS, which probably doesn't exist
2) there is a whole chain of security with checks from the processor in up to FireOS that will prevent you from replacing FireOS.
