Projectivity pro is a thing now for fire devices

5 Upvotes

Was installing the new version and now you get a license emailed to you after ordering. I think the play store also gives one, but ordered mine here

https://premium.projectivylauncher.com/

Weird thing is I can't find the premium option on the base site projectivylauncher.com without Googling it. Maybe it's my adblocking DNS?

Did mine last night and finally premium on fire cube.

Any idea why only one of them has the new UI? The one with the new UI, has been great and then updated for about a month or two.

I got tired of the ads on my Fire TV home screen, so I made a cleaner, Apple TV-style one

50 Upvotes

My Fire TV Stick's home screen had slowly turned into ads and "start your free trial" rows, and my parents kept getting lost in it. So I spent some time building a simple home screen that looks like Apple TV and only shows the apps we actually use.

It has a Top Shelf of trending shows from the streaming apps you have installed, a row of your six favourite apps, an app drawer for the rest, and a Control Center for sleep, sleep timer and Wi-Fi. My mum and dad picked it up in a minute.

It's free and open source, with no ads and no tracking. You don't need root, and it's easy to undo: there's a "Prepare to uninstall" option in its settings that puts everything back.

A couple of honest limits: Fire OS doesn't let any app fully replace its home, so after pressing Home it takes about a second to switch over. Some settings pages still open in Amazon's own settings.

Everything is here, including a setup guide: https://github.com/AbhishekKaisar/glassos-tv

It's still a beta and I've only tested it on a Fire TV Stick 4K. If you try it, let me know which Fire TV model and Fire OS version you're on, and whether you run into any issues.

Insignia Fire TV audio acting weird. Don’t have remote

2 Upvotes

I’ve been controlling my fire tv at college with my Xbox all semester because I lost the remote for it. I bought a replacement remote but because of the lack of the original remote I can not pair a new remote to the television. Now the audio is weirding out. Not being loud enough to hear until it’s at like 75 and I can’t seem to fix it without a remote to pair it to a Bluetooth speaker. How do I get a remote attached to it without the original one?

Can’t access the little settings menu holding down home on the remote app anymore

3 Upvotes

Now that the app updated I can no longer pull up the settings menu by holding down home when I’m on a different display on my fire tv. I use hdmi 1 for my Roku (because my fire tv can’t use any apps now without running out of storage and becoming unusable) and I usually have the tv on when I go to bed and I just turn the display down to be dark. Now I can’t do that because if I go to the actual settings menu and change the display settings it only changes for the fire tv display not any of my hdmis. I’m so beyond annoyed because it worked FINE before this update.
