I'm having a problem. I ordered a fire stick recently and was trying to load apks and all that jazz to it today. I've done 3 other amazon fire sticks but it's not working on this one.

my fire stick is showing up and bring selected but it just doesn't install the app on the stick. I'm using a nexus 6 6.0 so I'm not sure if that may be the problem?

any insight would be appreciated.

thank you.

ok so ive been trying to push a zip for ipvtv stalker but i cant find it in the file manager in kodi when i click install zip file i looked in sdcard and storage in every folder cant seem to find where files get pushed
Make sure the file name does not have spaces. It should be in AGKFire folder.

AGK Fire

I LOVE it so much that I got the paid version.
But I could really use some help. I uploaded the Ayopa M.U.S.E game from my phone to Fird Stick, but it's asking me to download game updates so that I can play, but when I press on the highlighted download option, nothing happens. Anyone have any ideas?

I walked my friend through pushing a zip file to the Fire TV, from his Android phone. It says the file was successfully pushed, but there's no folder called AGKFire with the file in it. When I checked my Fire TV, I do have a folder called AGKFire, and the file is in there. Why do I have that folder, and my friend doesn't?

    Anyone having issues on moto phones, Can you please, try the attached moto version.




    I have created this little android app for my own use. The main purpose of this app is to install any app that is on you android phone/tablet to FireTV/stick. All you need is the adb turned on your FireTV/Stick and Allow installing apps from unknown sources.

    Here are steps copied from Amazon
    Turn on ADB Debugging

    You must enable ADB on the Fire TV device before you can connect to the device.


    From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
    Select System > Developer Options.
    Select ADB Debugging.
    Get the IP Address

    You need the IP address of your Fire TV device on your network to connect ADB to it.

    From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
    Select System > About > Network. Make note of the IP address listed on this screen.

    Now Just open the AGK fire app attached below, enter you FireTV/Stick IP Address and select the app you want to install on your FireTV/Stick.

    Credits goes to alexjlockwood for "https://github.com/alexjlockwood/AppListLoader" which is the backbone for my app.
    Also Thanks to all the wonderful tutorials on android app development on the web.

    Any Suggestions are welcome. I will try to address as soon as I can.

    The agk fire app or another one?
    Trying to figure out how'd you'd push xml with the agk app. I'm a noob with this fire TV. Got kodi llama and the shortcut to home screen but don't know anything about different settings. I've read in other threads but haven't seen a link. Only settings I know of are for buffering issues.

    Care to elaborate or provide a link?

    Thanks man

    If you are using agk fire app. Install ESexplorer on the fire tv. Then for agk fire menu options there is option for pushing files/folders. The files will be moved to SDCard\AGKFire folder. You can the move the files using ESExplorer to where ever you want.

    I have a few suggestions:
    1. Go into your XDA settings and enable the donation button. You deserve compensation for your efforts. This is a great app.

    2. When the app executes any adb command, like "adb install ....", you should target the IP address specifically. Some Android devices, including the Fire TV, will already be connected to an emulated adb device if developer mode is turned on. So when the app connects to the Fire TV, your adb commands will fail because there are two connected devices. I think this is the source of many peoples issues. You can direct adb commands like this:
    Code:
    adb -s <ipaddress:5555> ...
    Note that the port number is required for this to work.

    3. The app can be used on a Fire TV to install Fire TV only apps onto a Fire TV Stick. However, navigating with the remote is a bit broken. When the app list initially loads, make it so that the first item is selected/highlighted by default. This will allow the Fire TV remote to move the selection down the list. I found a workaround that allows this to work for now. If you press the menu button on the Fire TV remote and go to the apps settings, when you return to the app list, the selector will be present.
