Promising App but Bitdefender and Win10 won't let me install it.

After the app can download apps it falls into a different security zone. I will purchase a code signing certificate the next days. This will fix Windows Smart Screen issues. Hopefully it will also prevent virus scanners like Bitdefender from being skeptical towards FireTuner
Thank you!!! Amazing
Hey very cool app. It makes it a lot easier to sideload anything to the devices. Thanks for your work. I have one question/improvement: Could you implement a "back" for each category, so that it would be possible to switch the categories (e.g. from Manual Tuner to Premium Tuner and vice versa)?

I noticed you have pre-packaged builds for auto loading. I would like to request an option to backup and create a build which gets added as a "custom" build (with naming option) for easy re-load.

Is there further information on the different packages You can decide for installation?
Interesting app. Nice that it discovers your Fire TV without having to enter the IP, but sorely lacks documentation. Loads of mysterious builds/apps. No idea what most of them are, or whether they'll overwrite Kodi with some pile of add-on infested turd.
Tried to install the two emulators. Neither downloaded properly, or installed.
Bit wary of it, to be honest.

Yes it is safe. Microsoft ClickOnce deployment uses the .application file as the recommend way to publish an app. You can read more about it here http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fileextensions/f/applicationfile.htm .

This is Amazing
Thanks for helping me out with this I really like the simplicity.
I was led here by this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fir...lete-kodi-setup-repos-common-add-ons-t3140269) and using the backup of the post with the help of this tool.
I was really overwhelmed thinking about it. The fact that I had to do a lot of research to get this accomplished. Now I can just focus on the content in the builds. I see its really hard to find out what exactly is optimal for the performance of the Firestick. There are so many builds.
Kodi hasn't wowed me too much on PC with the few repos I've tried. Most have to buffer issues, which is annoying. I have 100mbps connection I should be fine or maybe it's a server issue where the repo is hosted.
Anyways a big thanks to you guys.

I changed the device's footprint to the one that CM7 uses and added the following lines:
debug.sf.hw=1 (switches the device to hardware graphics acceleration)
windowsmgr_max_events_per_sec=150 (allows for more calls to the CPU)
debug.performance.tuning=1 (battery tweak)
I also changed the dalvik heap size to 48m instead of 64m. It allows GO Launcher to reload much quicker.

I don't think it enabled everything. I noticed a few more apps showed up in each category. I'll have to work with it a bit more once I get some time. I'm sure I can get a good footprint if I delve a bit deeper. I'll see what I can do this evening. (wife has a class tonight).
works great thanks!
question. How do you choose which device fingerprint to use? Are these device fingerprints android version specific?
Nice
Works nice even on new update. Good work!

The remote does work with Nova, as well as Go Launcher, Apex, and pretty any others you can install as far as I know. I probably wouldn't recommend Go Launcher, though, even though I do use it on my S4 and Tab 3 8.0. On the Fire TV, it just acts a little odd. For instance, when you bring up the menu for preferences, etc., practically nothing happens when you click on the available options. If that's not a big thing for you, the rest of the launcher works fine, you just can't really tweak that much.
I use square home launcher (tablet edition) and it works perfectly. It supports live wallpapers and I use aftv helper with everything in unison.
Hi,
i've tried to do a few searches but can't find anything about SHOWING the soft keys all the time.
See the thing is, this phone is for the mother-in-law and she's 71 so it needs to be as simple as possible. She wants to play games like temple run but doesn't understand the concept of swipe the top to get the home button to show up so I'd like to have the bottom bar always visible, even in immersive mode.
Any ideas please?
Cheers
I should probably include that it's stock 14.6.A.0.368 (this probably needs updating, but I'm looking for how to do that at the moment and confusing myself lol) and is rooted.
Xposed module 'App Settings' - go to the app you want, full-screen>prevent. I think you have to do it for each one. You probably can force it across the board with build prop, but I think the other way is best.
I can cope with that... Is there an easy guide for my firmware version to install xposed? I don't want to brick it again lol

Flash this in recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3580244&d=1450386592 Then install this apk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 Then open Xposed app and go to 'download' and search for 'app settings'. Note that the first boot after flashing the zip will be long and finish with 'optimizing apps' dialog, which will take several minutes. Make sure your battery level is good.
Always a good idea to backup first.

There's a 'blacklist' function which you can apply to chosen apps. I can't say if it will work on your specific game or not. The Xoosed module I mentioned works great for me with Camera, but I guess it didn't work for your game. I think with play store you can return a purchase within 15 minutes or something...
Don't know how I missed that. I'll give it a bash, Many thanks!

Well, after some reading, it seems clear that it is coded into the programming, and you'd have to rewrite the ROM to entirely disable it. From app to app, you probably could decompile and mod the apk so it doesn't call on the function. I did read that Gravity Box from Xposed has an immersive mode toggle, but I can't test it, since GB doesn't work on CM ROM. Check that out.
Thanks for your help so far. I tried GB but it didn't work either. Bloody annoying.
Perhaps another approach would be double tap the power switch to return home? Do you know if something like this exists please?
Thanks again for all the input and suggestions so far.

Hey I just discovered UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar). Install it, go to ssettings>general>special modes. Check 'toggle mode' and uncheck 'hide on outside touch'. The navbar will never go away. The only problem is that it sits Right there over anything else, blocking whatever you might want to touch down there, so maybe not a total fix. How eve, there's also more configurations you can mess with that might at least be an improvement.

However, If I can get HDMI, can worry about other MODs later, because isn't the HDMI thing the issue? (why we can't just install from playstore)

Bet you'll be heavily contributing to the FTV(S) sceen. Welcome aboard.
After your done playing with the Spectrum App. If you get bored or have some time. Maybe you can take a look at the ATT UVerse apps (FireTV & PlayStore) to see if they can be modded. Specially to bypass the root check.
I can quickly test any mod you send/post. PM me any time.
Here are some mods that might help on Spectrum & other apps too:

Thank you my friend! With TWC switching to Spectrum, am losing channels left and right, and now a set top box is needed on every TV.. No thanks, I was happy with my 2-71 channels with just a direct cable, so the FireStick was something I wanted anyway, so I decided to pull the trigger on it, to quickly find out the app is supported :silly::laugh:
Hopefully myself or someone else can get this sorted out as it's a great MOD that was created and I hope I can revive it. There is so much info though, and just making the ones today took hours, but the confusion is that I am making literally the same edits as the app that is linked here into the new app but yet it just isn't taking, so maybe some new checks are in place, but I couldn't find them. But with a device for myself to test will save some good time, and it's always a good learning experience.
I know how it goes. To me the process or learning experience can be even more fun or rewarding then even a positive outcome. Gotta enjoy the road. Not just the destination. I've been in the FTV(S) sceen for over two years. And it's been a blast. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. As much fun as it's been. This relatively cheap devices really solved a ton of content access problems too.
Although the Fire7's display has a 16:9 aspect ratio, videos are always stretched with black bars at top and bottom due to its non-square pixels. (THIS ONLY APPLIES TO 5TH GEN FIRE7!!!)
I slightly modified VLC to compensate for that error.
Please note that this only works for hardware decoded videos (h264, h265 but not webm)!
It's based on the latest beta version and I changed package name and icon so you can run it side-by-side with the official version.
Hope you like it...
updated to latest beta [3.0.5]:

Thanks dude!!!! Will you be updating this periodically?
Also the link is dead. If you wouldn't mind uploading to AFH or something it would be greatly appreciated.

Interest seemed rather limited but I did just upload an updated version.
Developer access is needed to upload files to AFH! I am however open to alternatives...

You have to request developer access and give reasons why you need it - like - what devices are you going to support.
I did request it but as this is really useful to a single device only I'm not expecting them to grant it.
What do you think about the new player hud buttons? Which ones do you prefer?

Well I hadn't gotten a chance to test the old version to see the old buttons since the link expired so I can't really say. I think it looks good to me though. Maybe you could upload to mediafire or Mega in the future?

Okay, I see. It had the original vlc buttons. I didn't like them as the stretching is very apparent with round buttons.
I will use one of the two you suggested although the 30 day expiry could be a good motivation to update regularly

Suspect not but even if it were technically possible no one is investing that kind of development effort in this device.

I will try to update it to a recent beta with chrome cast support in the next days.
I don't however own a CC to test. Does casting work for you in the official vlc builds?

It's based on the latest VLC beta with Chromecast support.
Let me know whether it works or not...
Great mod for longer excursions It helps alot. Thanks.
I didn't test chromecast tho. Maybe someone else can ?

Do you know if it would be possible to implement this for a ROM? Like system wide? So that it would correct it for the entire system instead of just VLC?
