also, the Verizon fios app works great but you need to use a mouse.
why do you need a mouse? i am thinking of buying the firetv if i can use it to watch fios tv on my big screen without the need of renting the set top box from verizon
How fios app works on fire tv ??
How can I make fios tv app on fire tv ??
Hello,
I would like to sideload Spotify on my unrooted AFTV. What does this mean: “requires an screen orientation changer” and how do I manage it?
Greatings,
Mr. White
It means you need to install an app that forces the Spotify app into landscape mode. Here is info an such an app: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-force-all-sideloaded-apps-into-landscape-mode-on-fire-tv/
Hey just worndering if anyone had a url for a twc app. I wanna use the es file manager to install it on my firestick. I just tried 2 mediafire links on es file manager and neither one worked. Anybody out there that can help me out???
Why not post URL links to the actual APK files and not to the Google Play Store? Not everyone owns a compatible Android device.
You can get the APK from Google Play using this site: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
Copy the Google Play URL, paste it in the above site and click the “Generate Download Link” button. It will create a link to the APK.
If you want to use Reddit. Diode works great on fire stick.
sorry link to apk

How are people using a “Mouse/Air Mouse” with the Fire Stick?
The only Bluetooth devices that seem to pair are game controllers, and only very specific brands.
I am looking for a link to download spark apk to mirror my browser on fire tv stick. Can anyone please provide a link to download it?
I question the inclusion of MX Player. The apk from the Playstore, downloaded through apps.evozi.com and loaded via ES File Manager, will install but upon first run exits with a message about not being the right version of Android. The pro version (downloaded *ahem* elsewhere to test) also exits with a message about not being able to confirm the App’s purchase.
I think MX Player would be good, and want to load it on my Amazon Fire Stick, but it doesn’t seem possible.
How were you able to make DramaFever work when it’s not officially supported (so remote is almost useless)? Sure you can load it & get the 1st episode of the series to play once you’ve searched for it, but what about other episodes since they’re invisible? You’re stuck at the 1st episode, so what’s the trick? At least, that’s my experience with the Stick.
What you need to do is go on eBay and buy a cheap mini bluetooth keyboard. Get the one with the mini touchpad on the right. I picked mine up for $20 shipped. Then download the settings.apk file. Side load it. Once you get settings.apk installed you can pair the keyboard. It works perfect. All buttons work, touchpad works 100%. Even works in KODI/XBMC 100%. I turn mine on only when I need to enter a search or code. I have also seen people get the mini keyboards with the usb dongle. But I chose not to get that.
For the record I tried to sideload Google Play Movies onto the Fire TV but it simply flashes up as it gets launched and disappears …. assume it doesnt work .. :(
Great guide ..thank you..
I downloaded and installed the screen rotation app above but I still cannot control SIRIUS XM app. I do not get to view the entire screen,the left side disappears. I am not sure what to do. Thanks

What version of the FIOS app works on Fire TV. Can someone post plz.
How can I watch wss (world sports streams) app on fire stick? I have wss, mx player and xmtv player installed. Not working though. Any advice would be great fully received!
2 questions. 1st one- I have the HGTV add on. Well there are episodes in this app, but they are from 2013 and in HD. Why? Is there a way to update this? Also, I have Kodi, and was told my stick is set to update automatically. I am suppose to have it all. I see hgtv stuff on the regular stuff under tv shows, not in the add on, it’s up to date, right up to the most recent episode.but I can’t warch any of them. None pull up. Next question- is there a way for me to watch CNN? I see it in my live tv channels, but get a something stalker error. Is there an add on I could download to fix these situations? Can post pics if need be. Thank you.
Any malaysian tv channels apps (astro tv) can be download into aftv?
Add HDHomeRun View app on first generation Amazon Fire Stick. I have a newer HDHomeRun EXTEND DLNA device with 5.0 GHz wireless n. Standard Fire Stick Remote does it all. I side-loaded the HDHomeRun app from my LG smartphone using FireInstall app. It works perfectly with no buffering problems. I have a OTA roof-mounted antenna in NYC and HDHomeRun shows 78 channels comprised of video and audio channels with very strong signals.
I side-loaded the Google Play HDHomeRun app because Amazon’s site indicated that app wasn’t compatible with my Fire Stick. I figured it should work because the HDHomeRun Kodi plug-in I had installed on the Fire Stick earlier worked perfectly.
PS. You have good site for checking which apps work with Fire TV. Thanks for your efforts.
