As you said GPS is not working (location is working hard on cell tower and wifi triangulation) but there is no satellite fix. Can you please point me to the GPS fix.zip you are talking about? ---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ---------- As you said GPS...

SimLynks does this enable chromecast receiver function and voice based Google search in home screen and YouTube tv app?

Did you mean the Android TV (Leanback) Launcher apk, because I have v1.1.7.3300609 of it installed and facing no problems. Verify your list of disabled amazon packages? I have only OTA and Amazon Sale Service packages disabled and everything working fine.

Hi peleg, To my understanding unpatched MediaShell.apk (and/or dependent library) is not supposed to work because there supposed to be some kind of certificate based authentication performed. Mac addresses of certified chromecast devices are supposedly certified and authenticated. See this...

ohh you should totally upgrade to the latest rbox prerooted rom. see https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/project-aftv2atv-t3489239 to make your firetv as androidtv.

See this https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/project-aftv2atv-t3489239 Its working amazing, peleg is working on even getting other things working. I have been running it for last week and no plans going back to Amazon launcher.

I was able to fix the issue but it wasn't easy. I figured out it was some amazon process/package that was stealing the notifications. I was able to narrow down to com.amazon.device.sale.service. After disabling this package and restarting I could see all recommendations properly. There are now...

Hi peleg, Sorry to bother you. Did you have the time to look at the Recommendations problem? I have everything working as you described just the recommendations are not working. I saw them sometimes displayed for TED but never for YouTube or Netflix or HBOGO. I do see the empty tiles and...

I did not delete any amazon or other components, only installed google stuff (launcher, ime, google play service, framework etc.). So what does it mean that I may not have the right media providers. Not sure if these contain the appropriate log lines but I had the logcat running when the...

peleg any updates on recommendations? I got then working again for TED but for Netflix and Youtube or HBOGO they are empty tiles. Could it be because I have the Amazon version of Netflix and HBOGO? But YouTube is Android, then why it's not working? Have you been able to make recommendations work...

Is there a solution for fixing recommendations? I get empty tiles when I turn on recommendations i.e. recommendations are there but there are missing pictures in the tiles. Also, is there a way to bring google voice based search support?

Did you delete the side-loaded TvSettings app after you made it a System app. I have it in installed as a asystem app and not facing any issues. Recommendations are on/off, I did see them few times but they have disappeared since.

So here are the logs I could capture from logcat. First I tried the Search preference in TvSettings and it kept crashing the TvSettings and bringing me to Home screen. Here are the logs for this: I/ActivityManager( 1907): START u0 {act=android.search.action.SEARCH_SETTINGS flg=0x80000} from uid...

Yes, I installed the leanback version of YouTube app as well as keyboard, the same versions available from very first post in this thread. I did not check any search options in the settings app but will try once I'm in front of it, will also try location to see any logs.

youtube android tv app cannot search hi peleg, thanks for your efforts on this project. i was able to follow the instructions and everything is working. the recommendations sometime work and sometime doesn't. i have a question that for the youtube app, i can log-in with the google account but i...

Any news now that we are very close to official lollipop update and two dev previews have also been released?

Rextract the zip replacing the contents. Add --no-check-certificate to all wget invocations within the bat file before running it. Anyways, this won't be useful for root and revolutionary cannot run without the beta key and there is no way for you to get this key. You will have to go the old...

I found the files, thanks. However can you confirm my understanding regarding the all in one tool dependency on revolutionary. If that is correct then I can't Complete the main step that performs s-off. What about the old psneuter/wpthis method? Do I have to be on a specific rom version for...

Thanks for your reply but I suppose that guide also won't be help because the ALL in One tool depends on Revolutionary for doing the main thing. I feel the purpose of that guide is to be able to run revolutionary because in the ICS revolutionary exploits are patched. It still needs revolutionary...

I have the revolutionary executable but it's useless without the key that has to be generated from the revolutionary.io website that is down.

Hi friends, I came across a vanilla htc thunderbolt of a friend that he asked me to root. However I'm now stuck on the revolutionary asking me the beta key which I can't provide as revolutionary site is down. Do you think there's any other permanent s-off and boot loader unlock method? Thanks.

Hi rbox do you have any plans of making available the latest version prerooted. I understand that it is a minor update but it seems it has quite a number of fixes.

Hello friends, Can anybody reply, can somebody help compile cec-client for fire-tv?

@rbox list of changes from stock fw hi rbox would it be possible to get a list of changes that you perform to the stock 51.1.5.0 to get this prerooted rom. I ask this to understand specifically do you have to recompile the kernel from the available amazon source or do you use stock kernel but...

TechVendetta, I thought to confirm this with you. It seems that the stock kernel in FireTV (I'm on the rbox latest pre-rooted rom) has swap support enabled. I did a mkswap on a regular file (not partition) and swapon successfully and "free" command showed the swap in it's output. This was kind...

I didn't understand this. What is this that I have to change? My plan was this: 1. DD my existing /data partition (/dev/sda1) on the USB drive to /dev/sda4 (last primary partition) 2. Create ext4 filesystems in /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 3. DD the system.img from your .tar.gz file to...

Sure I'd like the same way but for some play and testing I would prefer not to flash over my recovery even though I know with bootloader fully unlocked I should face less hurdles in recovering in case of a mess up. So as per your steps in the opening page, instead of flashing the boot.img to...

I had thought that "fastboot boot" loads and run the boot image completely off the ram and "fastboot flash" is the one that really flashes.

TechVendetta now that FireTV boot loader is fully unlocked, can't we load the cm12 boot image using "fastboot boot" command instead of flashing to recovery? That way I won't have to touch / overwrite the recovery and it'd be much safer? I have the latest pre-rooted rbox rom with boot menu as...

rbox, you mean even without any special key combination if it's connected to a computer via USB during bootup, it'll go to bootloader mode automatically? Also, did you try sending a boot.img from fastboot and it worked? Many thanks for all your work. I'm a happy FireTV user and all credit goes...

Luxferro were you able to resolve this or is the fire-tv still locked? rbox did you try this and it worked? Also, can you start fire-tv in fastboot/bootloader mode by some key combination on the usb keyboard or it can only be done by adb reboot bootloader command?

Hi friends, I see that Fire-TV never switches-off the HDMI signal but simply a blank screen when it goes to sleep. Also, there is no way to turn off my TV. Is there a possibility that somebody can compile cec-client (https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec) for FireTv so that I could turn-off my...

I did not expect this but the default kernel on fire tv has swap support. I'm on the latest prerooted rom from rbox.. To quickly test I created a file using dd, did mkswap and swapon. Currently I'm using a microsd with usb card reader and using microsd as /data. Now that swap is compiled in...

Why /data/misc has been left in the internal mmc Hi all, I wanted to ask if there's any particular reason that /data/misc has always been left on the internal fire tv storage. Can't it be taken from the USB partition? Regards.

@rwaterspf1 So i checked the source code in default_recovery_keys.c in https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/blob/cm-11.0/default_recovery_keys.c earlier it was like this and the search capacitive button was working for item selection: case KEY_END...

@rwaterspf1 Ohh I'm sorry. rwaterspf1 did it and I saw one of your reply in that thread. Thanks for your replying. So yeah search capacitive search button does not work for selection in the root menu (the very first menu that you see when cwm recovery starts). I want this as my infuse has...

@Fullmetal Jun Hi Fullmetal Jun: I applied your recently created cm11 image and it seems the latest recovery does not allow search capacitive button on the main screen in cwm. I checked the recent commits in recovery in the github and there are some changes related to how the search button is...

anybody please.

Hi friends: I have an infuse 4g with the infamous power button issue. Somehow I have managed to install kitkat on it (due to power button being too touchy in touching it, it was almost impossible to boot to recovery or download mode using the button combo). So I flashed AoCP 7.2 which was...

hi friends: i have an old infuse 4g which has the known power button issue so i remapped the volume_up button as power and power button as volume. the remapping is working fine and i can see that the volume up button works like power and power button works like volume_up. but sometimes it...
