I did start work a few months back on an Xposed module (works but not 100%), I was going to add a settings page but I think there was issues with xposed on android version that the fire tv runs on, due to permissions etc.
You can set a prefix in the code (currently hard coded to KODI) so if you say " kodi star wars" it would pass the param of "star wars" to kodi.
If you just say "star wars" without the prefix it would pass this to the normal amazon UI.
If anyone wants to take it further, it's attached on the link below.

It seems that @WheelchairArtist make some changes to your repo @rbox ?

Perhaps you can combine your work with @is0-mick 's work and nice kodi-voice search integration:

Since The recovery and rooted FireOS5 can be installed on AFTV1 can we safely install xposed?? Has anyone made a guide??Installing xposed is extremely dangerous and can lead to bricking your device. Properly installing it requires recovery. I suppose if you have hardware access to the MMC via the hardware root method, then it's less dangerous. Either way, I stand by the fact that xposed requires recovery.
And where might that be, exactly? There's nothing in Applications, the module has been loaded and activated.. but there's nothing in xpose itself that points me to anything launchable.
Saw that, just was not sure it would work on fire TV version 1 rooted@idocinthebox try here mate -

you can follow the same steps but when you flash from recovery flash the ARM not the ARM 64Saw that, just was not sure it would work on fire TV version 1 rooted
After following this guide (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-remove-the-banner-ad-on-the-fire-tv-home-screen/), my AFTV4k screen looks the same- banner ad at the top, and can’t hide any of the side menus. Xposed shows I have RboxFireTvMods 1.4 active in modules, and says "xposed framework version 86 is active" with a big green check mark. I am using the sloane prerooted 5.2.1.1r1 ROM, no other modules installed. Why do I still see ads?
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>

<string name="KEYCODE_F1">org.chromium.content_shell_apk</string>
<string name="KEYCODE_F2_LONG">com.pandora.android.gtv</string>

Update. xposed installed fine. The problem was the result of using an out of date apk. That is fixed.
I am still having trouble with RBox's mods. Has anyone else had any success?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also RBox is the The Man. Thanks again for all you have done over the past year.
Hi rbox,
Thanks much for your hard work, and the great tools you've provided for us. Is this the best place to look for updates on the menu items issue? I updated the firmware to get the new Netflix app, but I really miss the menu items fix!
Thanks.
Can you or anybody tell if it run with a KingRoot Fire OS 5 FireTV box gen1?
