Hey guys, I have a Fire TV unit, that unfortunately cannot be rooted. I love using it but the 8gb storage limit is almost impossible to work with. So, i went out and bought a Matricom G-Box Q, just so I could use it for Kodi/XBMC. I am wondering, can Fire TV apps work on a regular 4.4 Kitkat Android box and if so, how could the apks be downloaded without them going specifically to the Fire TV box? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Kindle Fire HD topic
Hi,
i have a kindle fire HD and yesterday i dropped it off the couch onto the floor. Since then the kindle wont load or respond to anything, charging, booting, hard reset (holding power for 60 seconds), plugging it into PC anything.
the only response i can get is when the usb is plugged in, either to the pc or charger, it pops up saying kindle fire for a couple of seconds then completely shuts its self off.
has anyone got any tips or ideas that can help me fix this?
i have tried a few little batch and jar files i have found on this forum and i am about to try one found in a similar forum as suggested when typing this request.
if anyone can help this would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
Kris

My take on fire tv topic
Ok so just picked up the fire tv.need to set it up for brother .so playing with it while I can :p the cons is the remote should of been keyboard with mini remote voice search doesn't work with netflix or YouTube.they should of included power on and off button.hopefully the fire tv 2 includes improvements.like the other member on here said,the launcher is cluttered.amazon should include in the next fw that u can remove or add the sections on the left panel.box looks like it's faster than boxee box.weird thing is boxee looks better in the netflix picture department.overall I'm happy I got one for bro considering it was .hes probably going to play games,netflix and some tvmc.

[Q] new fire tv stick - make it better? topic
I got a fire tv stick . I am not happy with the user interface, I was lead to believe it would be different after a conversation with Amazon Customer Service.
I want to stick to open with a selection of user profiles. I want one that is for my kids and one for adults. I want the kids one to have restrictions on what they can access., i.e. parental controls. I would like these to extend into the apps like netflix.
Can I do this?
I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2736774
that allows me to sideload apps to my fire tv stick. apps like XBMC.
But can I set the stick up to 1) boot to xbmc, 2) require a password on one account 3) establish parental controls on that account that extend to the various apps?
finally, do I need to root the stick to get it to boot to XBMC?

anybody able to fix a bricked fire tv? topic
hi there. I have somehow managed to brick my fire tv that had rbox cwm mod on it. I have tried numerous times to repair it using the alt-printscreen-i method without any luck other than the unit rebooting to indicate keyboard is recognised. I just get a constant white amazon logo on boot up. This is a u.s purchased fire tv that I own in the uk. was just curious to see if anyone of you clever folk out there would like to take a look at the unit and see if it can be recovered for me before I throw it out :(
am willing to post with the idea if it can be fixed I'd obviously pre-pay for return postage.
anyway, just thought I'd enquire as I've given up trying

Returning my Fire Phone topic
I picked up a Fire Phone during the Black Friday Firesale. I've given it a month to see if I could use it, but it spent the last week in my glove compartment. I just feel like FireOS is too limited. It's not any one thing, more like a bunch of small annoyances added up.
Pros:
Love the hardware
Integration with Amazon services is nice (Audible, Prime Video)
Most gapps work sideloaded
Cheap
Cons:
The whole OS is designed to sell you stuff. I don't like paying money (even just 0) for ads.
Doesn't feel like a true Android experience, even after sideloading Play Store and changing launcher.
At the end of the day, it's a phone I didn't use. I'd rather lug my LTE iPad mini around than use this phone. Even with a year of Amazon Prime ( since I'm a student), I can't really justify keeping it.

Screen mirroring fire stick topic
I'm trying to mirror my image to the fire stick. I get all the way to connect to and the fire stick screen turns black but then the gs5 says failed to start streaming. I know some of the apps stop working when rooted but before I removed root from the device I was going to see if anyone had any luck getting it to work on a rooted or un-rooted device. Thanks

[Q] Cannot install Safestrap on Kindle Fire HDX 2013 (Thor), parse error topic
I have a Fire HDX Thor 7" tablet from 2013, which has just updated to FireOS 4.5.2. However, I still had the same error on the original version of the OS.
When I try to install Safestrap, downloaded from the links provided in this thread from ES file explorer, I get a "Parse error". I have tried all 5 apks.
This is the error I get when tapping install: "There was a problem parsing the package.", preventing me from installing the app.
I have all the requirements, root access and SuperSU successfully installed. All other apks install fine.
Any ideas/alternate apps that will allow me to boot into a custom ROM? I would like to install CM or stock KitKat if possible.

[Q] Hard-bricked Kindle Fire (power controller is dead)? topic
I've got a problem with KF. It was unused for 2 or 3 months and looked like fully discharged. I tried to charge it with low-amper charger (5V, 0.55 mA), got it stuck for 5-sec bootloop.
.
Leaved it for 2-3 minutes and KF totally turned off, without any reaction on power button (no powering on, no charge indicator). Got original 1.8A charger - no luck. Tried hard reset (from 30 sec to 5 mins) - no luck. Tried different chargers from 0.55 to 2.1A - no luck.
Tried usbboot trick - no luck (firekit stuck on waiting for device, lsusb shows nothing).
Disassembled and reinstall battery connecter shows the same result. Leaved it on charger through usb-ampermeter, it showed power consumption 0.6A with battery attached and 0.2A without battery. After battery being charged for 8 hours ampermeter shows power consumtion in 0.2A (so battery looks like fully charged). Disassembled battery connection and measured voltage between first black battery (from black cords to red cords) and 3rd red battery cord (from red cords to black cords) - it shows 4.2V, so battery looks like fully charged.
Now i have such symptoms:
- No reaction with usb cable attached (both wallet and computer 0.5A usb)
- Powers on by single press (power button light for 2 seconds, display with "press power button for recovery" - for 1 second) and powers off without usb cable attached. No reaction on usb cable attaching in this 2 seconds (and no response for power button being pushed while usb cable is connected).
- No reaction on usbboot at all (both battery connected or disconnected)
Any ideas?

I need ADB access to my Fire HDX and it seems like the old driver doesn't work any more with Fire OS 4. Is there a new driver or is it maybe possible to downgrade? I'm really getting tired of this locked-down OS and hope someone of you can help me back up my apps.
