[TOTAL MOD] Playing With Fire (v4) NEW "LazyLeanback" Installer - AndroidTV on FireTV

[JJ2017]

2nd Gen AFTV box - Google Play login?

i have wiped everything and reinstalled and flashed over and over to a point i did hit a soft brick ................edit: after using gazdamans files i have leanback however like before i have google hanging on the signing in splash screen or it immediately boots me back saying wrong password i removed 2 step verification and changed my password whats wrong?

Hi'N00B - did you manage to solve this issue of the 'hanging' Google login? Spent hours today on same problem - p/w not accepted @ login - I have tried everything I can think of including an old Google Play apk after installing XInstaller XPosed Module as mentioned by @Pix12

Anyone know a work-around? I'm using the @rbox ver. 5.2.6.6_r1 stock image and Gapps from a few days ago.

After wiping data I have 4.16gbs free but using opengapps with the playstore only config says I don't have enough space there's nothing else I can delete or uninstall, how much space do I need? Is there any way to make opengapps zip smaller by removing what I don't need?

Device I'm using is Firestick 2nd Gen unlocked and rooted.

is it possible to only get access to super user out of this mod?

@SimLynks
Any chance to replace the /system opengapps with systemless MagicGApps Magisk - opengapps? ...this way system space shouldn't be any problem ever more.
I tried to install opengapps with magisk but i get a black screen after rebooting into system from twrp ( the amazon logo and the firetvstick logo shows up but after that only black screen appears).
Couldn't find the cause of it, yet.

Running the script broke bluetooth on my FireTV 2 (sloane) 5.2.6.8 (rooted). I wiped it and even reflashed the pre-rooted rom but I could never pair a bluetooth remote. I wiped the system partition and then reflashed the rom to get everything working.

The Playfiretvsettings.apk, can that be used independently by itself without installing everything else?
I have tried installing it independently by itself, installing over to privapp folder and setting permissions, is there a way to open it?

You would need to use another app like Activity Launcher to open the settings as it's hidden from any home screen.

Fire stick 2 (tank)

@SimLynks

Hi your work is great but please could you modify it to work with magisk for the fire stick 2 (tank) now that we can easily root it and maybe have a custom gapps that can be installed ? As i have tried with the original guide with no joy, thanks in advance

His last post is from a year and a half back. Don't hold your breath waiting for a response, this project was abandoned long ago...

Will this let me resize the screen on a FireTV Stick? Right now I am hostage to a 720p plasma tv that doesnt allow you to disable overscan.

PWF 4a on my gen 2- now want it on my 1!

THX for the refreshed tutorial. Sadly this is still not working with a bueller device (gen1 box). We got allways the error 70. This is caused by to less free space in system partition.

Is there no chance to increase the size of the system-partition? We can grab some mb from the data partition, or not?
This could be a permanent fix and perhaps it helps castreceiver to work properly.

EDIT:
I found this wonderfull how-to: https://iwf1.com/how-to-re-partitio...-all-options-included-change-size-fs-type-etc
EDIT2:
Bringing the arm parted to run:

You need to chmod parted like written in iwf1.com. When you create the last partition, the userpartition, it is usefull to try the command "p free" to get the end size of the last partition.
EDIT3:
Edit the last 3 partitions to increase the system partition of my bueller fireTV:

BE CAREFULL WHEN YOU TRY THIS!
After creating all partitions, you should reboot twrp, then you can install rbox-bueller-rom again. It took a bit longer for the first start but it does accept your partition changes.

Hate to ask for something you did so long ago.... Any chance you can give a step by step? I'm having a hard time working on the partiton, and the rest of the process works a bit differently on the gen 1 and am hitting roadblocks.

IDIJT,

Appreciate if I can get some help. Really hoping to get some further mods on my fire gen1.

Ok... I figured out how to get parted working (pushed it to /sbin, ran it from terminal in twrp). I missed that step.
My partitions do not match the byte numbers in your post. Not sure if that is typical.
I have 20 partitions, you have 19 in your image (my parted print attached). I can't rm 20. gives message about need to unmount it before you modify it with parted. I tried mount -o rw,remount /system. tried /dev in place of /system. No dice.

Also confused as to how this will help. am I merging the space with another partition?
My partitons 18+19 are smaller than yours (805306368b on mine, 1073742336 on yours- 268435968 larger on yours), partiton 20 is larger on mine (6104963584 mine, 5468311552 on yours, mine is 636652032 larger) so it looks like other partitions must be different too.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

Please edit your post next time instead of repost in that short time.


YES. This is long time ago. And if I am seriosly I have no idea how to give you the 100% right answers.
Doing something with parted on android devcies is not riskless.


I am remember right the error from gapps is caused by to less space in the system partition. So my solution was to increase that partition and reflash the bueller-rom. By increasing the system partition you need the space from another partition. I think is the reason why my other partitions having another size too.


Sadly I had not much atime at the moment, but you should get a lot of informations at xda or stack.
For example check that here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662382


Perhaps I find some time the next days but I am not really sure.


By the way: I removed gapps later of my devcie and revert back to original bueller / amazon rom. It was not stable enough for me.

Idijt,
apologies on post. Was deep in work on aftv2 and forgot etiquette!

If gapps was unstable, no point for me. Was there any other upside to the partition work? Its been a while on re partitioning for me on android. I think it has been since android 4.4 that I last re partitioned.
Any chance you could shoot me the parted p output in case I decide to mess around further with it? Seeing an example of a functional one will help with guesswork of where to steal space from.

Thanks!

You want that I do the command within twrp shell

parted p

on my Bueller-device and send you the results?


If yes, pls write me saturday a pm as a reminder


But did you say that you use aftv2 oder 1? I own a bueller devcie this is the first gen with optical out.

I recently rooted my Fire Stick 2. I noticed this is an old guide, so is there an updated guide that I can follow to use this mod?

 

[muhviehstarr]

you can use the 32 bit parted and follow the guide

i have parted my sloane and restoring an nandroid/twrp backup now.. hope it works

I'm trying on Fire stick 2. The procedure gotten any errors but when i start the Fire stick there isn't any Google TV . Xposed Is ok, root ok, script works well on a root Shell. What i wrong?

Doing this on my Fire stick 2 as well, Issue is, there isnt enough space in the System Partition for the mod, you can try re-partitioning it (as noted above).

I used System App Remover (link) to delete some amazon apps and used this list debloat. Also I found out that 5.2.6 firmware has more space than 5.2.7.
Any way, I could finished the steps, but the settings app is pretty messy and recommendations too.
