Hi I have a rooted 1gen.fire tv and I change the background,my question is if I update to the pre-rooted rom 5.2.1.1 I will loose the background?
I’m not completely sure. The apps and files will still be present after installing the new ROM, but you make need to go into Resflux and re-initialize things.
I think this Fire TV Stick 2 will have a quad core 1.4GHZ CPU and 2GB if RAM and a decent dedicated GPU, because they tested it with a dedicated Bluetooth game pad and games are a very good revenue stream, so I also think it’ll have 16GB storage too. And it will keep the same price point, it may possibly offer the 30hz 4K too.
So you think it will have the same specs of the curent firetv?
