15I'm sure you all know that Amazon locked down the ability to install apps from "Unknown Sources", which is why the only current method of sideloading apps is to do so over ADB. The following will let you enable "Unknown Sources", by directly changing the entry in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, so you can perform app installations directly on the FTV (which will come in very handy for installed Xposed modules and other things).
The FTV doesn't have sqlite3 installed, or else this would be much simpler. These steps show you how to change the setting using the SQLite Editor app.
Note: Navigating the SQLite Editor app may require a mouse
- Root your FireTV according to the steps here
- Install SQLite Editor via ADB
- Launch SQLite Editor, granting it SU access
- Select "Settings Storage"
- Select "settings.db"
- Select the "global" table
- Highlight the record "install_non_market_apps"
- Hit the Menu button and select "Edit Record"
- Change the Value to "1" and save the record
- Reboot

and go to step 3 (connect wiimote) and # 1: voila, link for you: http://www.aftvnews.com/download/Settings.apk
You ABSOLUTELY need XPosed (http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk) and HDXposed (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2830675&d=1404399174) module installed and even then, some Settings will kick you out of the app. But it does work (tested) for enabling "Unknown Sources".
