So now we have root and the ability to edit ROOT FILE SYSTEM. Any one have a clue as to what I need to modify in order to gain official USB SUPPORT. As of now Prismatik INSTALLS and gets root but the FIRE TV doesn't see the lights in the USB.

CAN I MOD THIS SOME HOW?

hid apk

How do I use that for lightpack? I see enable extended storage but that doesn't do anything for me.

Ideas would be welcomed ;)

Upon further inspection the tool blenders the lightpack usb but prismatik doesn't.

I need to try this as well, but need to find the time.

I would think an hid usb .apk might work. I would provide a link but I am new.

If you give it a shot let me know how it goes.

Well that sucks I thought by the description it was an hid enablement script. I'll keep looking for a way.

I ordered the LightPack today before seeing your thread that it isn't working. When mine comes in I'll try my hardest to get it working. If you figure it out please update, thanks!

I edited the files mentioned in the link I shared. No go. After editing and installing every suggestion... I can get the system to see the the lightpack in the usb. I get a random notification that it is seen, but prysmatik doesn't acknowledge this rendering it useless on this device still. Very strange.

Good luck, where there's a will there's a way.

I'm also investigating how to make lightpack work with fire tv.

For what I have seen, when I plug in on the fire tv usb I get this on dmesg:

When I open the prismatik app I can see some time while the app is open, some times after I close it that the lightpack is indeed being detected, with a toast stating:

found Lightpack/dev/bus/usb/004/007

Or something like that.

I think the needed modules maybe are missing or are specific to only some kinds of HID. So further investigation is needed.
