How to install and setup Xposed Framework on the Amazon Fire TV

xposed-logo
The Xposed framework is a platform which allows for the installation of modules which change the behavior of the Amazon Fire TV. By itself, the Xposed framework does not do anything. The modules installed once the framework is setup are the ones that can modify the behavior of the Fire TV. Installation of Xposed requires that your Fire TV is rooted. This guide will walk you through the simple steps of installing and setting up Xposed. Future guides will discuss the installation of modules and what can be done with Xposed.

  1. The Xposed Framework requires root, so if your Fire TV is not rooted, you should first follow my Rooting Starters Guide and root your Fire TV.
  2. Download the latest Xposed APK from here. The download link should be about half way down the page labeled “de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v##_#####.apk”

  3. Sideload the Xposed Framework onto your Fire TV
  4. Launch “Xposed Installer” on the Fire TV from the Settings > Applications menu

    You spelled SuperSU wrong in Step 8. No biggie, just letting you know.

  2. Joshi says:

    Some Xposed modules has caused boot loop issues before on other devices.

    Would be nice if there is some pointers on how to recover from bootloop if that should happen on Fire TV.

    I installed xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64 zip through twrp recovery, and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk through adbfire. I also sideloaded HDXPosed, and checked 1.3. On step # 7 where we select install/update through the framework, nothing happens.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    It says it’s not compatible with Android version 22 or your processor (arm64-v8a) for Fire TV 2. Is there a version that actually works? This guide hasn’t been updated since Amazon moved to Lollipop which Xposed is not compatible with. Any alternative to getting Rbox’s mods?
