AFTVnews.com/start would be a great place to start

We all start somewhere. Like aftvnews said though, aftvnews.com/start is a good place to go. Good luck!

[Q] eMeals apk to try with Kindle Fire HD 8.9

Hi there...
I'm wondering if anyone happens to have the apk file for the new eMeals android app, to try on the Kindle Fire HD? I love my KFHD (most of the time) and this app just came out this week. I wrote and asked them for a direct download, but they just sent me to the Google Play store (duh, not helpful).
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks, looking forward to being on this forum...

Now that it has been confirmed as working, can anyone else get it? I've been searching since the day it launched to get this on my KF as well.
Can I get a copy of that too?
Thanks.

I dont know if there is anything wrong with the spotify connect offer in the amazon store for the Fire TV 2 but mine almost never works. My cell phone never find my amazon fire tv 2, it only sees my receiver. It used to work perfectly with my fire stick but since I upgrade to a FTV 2 no luck. It could be a problem with the app or with teh FTV 2, dont know. I am temping to use one of the apps posted here.

The 0.3 version posted here I believe came from a FTV 2 ... sounds like similar issues to what I experienced running it on the Shield TV, not found, only plays a couple of tracks before stopping.

Same here unfortunately. I'm hating AndroidTV more and more.

Tips for new users?

I have just gotten a fire TV here in the UK today.
I've done a bit of searching and found out how to sideload APK's but can't find much on blocking updates to help with potential future rooting?
When i turned on the fireTV and connected wifi, it immediately wanted to update.
If i had blocked the updates first would I have been left with a rootable fireTV?
It would be good if there was a sticky post in this forum!
I've seen mention of some people using another app to get XBMC On the home screen, llama something?
cheers,
check here for XBMC launch methods: http://kodi.wiki/view/Amazon_Fire_TV#Launch_XBMC_on_the_Fire_TV
imo you should just go ahead and let the update happen. If a new root method is found it will likely be working on the latest version at the time.

I still can't get this to work with my android tablet or my iphone.....It doesn't find the Fire TV as a cast receiver. Anyone have a simple short step by step. It should be pretty straightforward to connect right.

To be honest, i havent used it much since i posted a quick thanks but yes it was pretty simple. Download the one right on the fire tv (i mean just search "local cast" and itll appear as an app.) Then when u launch it you be told where to grab the apk to install on your casting device (or maybe it was the one in the op?... I cant recall.) From there i think it just worked.
Maybe enable casting under display/cast screen?
It worked for me wifi to ethernet but if your aftv is on wifi try putting it and your device on 2.4ghz

search for mouse toggle for fire tv on google play. its not free but it works fine.
If your not prepared to buy the app follow my guide to downgrade your Fire stick to 5.0.5 if your Wukong remote works with that os version.

Mouse toggle works on OS 5? I bought it awhile ago but stopped working when i updated to 5. Really find it essential for file explorer and occasionally xfinity tv app. Dont use it often but hate connecting a mouse just for a simple click now & then.

Yes, The app is compatible with the latest Fire TV OS but it needs to be updated. Here is a link with the directions to update the Mouse Toggle app:
http://fluxii.com/mouse-toggle-for-fire-tv-version-1-06-released/
If you have any issues please send a email to the address in the app.
Thank you
Yes there is one....
It is there...
An app called "remote for fire TV" by guidology.
It is available on Amazon app store.
But it is a paid app. But way cheaper than purchasing any wireless or airmouse.
I have a favor to ask.
The client app (the one which installs on your phone) isn't available anywhere online for poor people like me to try before buying.
If anyone has bought this app after reading my post.
Please consider posting the phone app's link in a reply to my post.
Thank you.

The posting of paid apps (cracked premium etc) is against xda rules
I'm sure you can use the power of Google to find what you need

Do your own dirty work. You download Aptoide!:good:
Give this a try. It has an option to use a mouse with your smart phone to control Amazon Fire TV. I like it better than the mouse toggle app.
