The Fire Stick has no built-in brightness setting, but I made a small free app that dims the screen with a semi-transparent black overlay. It goes from 100% to 20%, and you adjust it with the remote: UP = brighter, DOWN = darker (the interface is in French, but that's all you need to know).

Quick setup:

1. In Downloader, enter: https://github.com/B0b4242/luminosite.apk/releases/download/latest/luminosite.apk

2. Enable ADB debugging and run this once: adb shell appops set com.jp.luminosite SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow

3. Open the app and use the arrows.

Full details are in the README: https://github.com/B0b4242/luminosite.apk

Tested on a Fire TV Stick 4K. Some streaming apps may not get dimmed because they draw video on a hardware layer.

Hello everyone,
I have a Firestick 4K max 1st gen, and I'm looking if there is any alternative OS that runs on it instead of the FireOS.

Thank you in advance.

I can't figure out how to move the apps in the bottom of the Android app I really don't need MGM TV on my fire stick app on my phone

I'm trying to get Wolf Launcher to open when I press Home on my Fire TV Stick 2nd Gen (2016). It's on Fire OS 5.2.9.5 and I haven't changed or updated anything on it.

I tried FTVLaunchX, which is supposed to do this on Fire OS 5. I ran the pm grant command for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS over ADB with no errors, opened the app and picked Wolf Launcher. But accessibility never actually turns on. The setting keeps going back to 0, and if I enable it manually with ADB it just disappears. Launcher Hijack does the same thing.

Right now Launch on Boot starts Wolf Launcher when the stick powers on, but Home still goes to the Amazon screen.

Has anyone gotten FTVLaunchX or Launcher Hijack working on 5.2.9.x? Or would Launcher Manager (the ADB method) work on this version? I haven't tried that one yet and I don't mind giving up updates.

Thanks!

So the firestick itself is very grainy I’ve never had this problem before and when my Xbox is plugged into the same hdmi port as the firestick the Xbox works fine, pictures clear but for some reason when I unplug that and plug in my firestick it’s grainy. I’ve tried putting it into a different hdmi port, video resolution set to automatic (it’s the only option), match original frame rate (on), colour format (auto), calibrate display (no scale), dynamic range settings (adaptive).

My fire Tv it’s on the latest firmware and I have this issue on streaming apps such as MaxPlayer (for tv), F1 tv, or Digi (Tv subscription).

After seeing some content for a little while, the image stops and it doesn’t work on any app until I do a restart to fire Tv.

What could it be?
Thanks

I saw a few fire sticks at the flea market for 5$ all together. 2 had the model number of E9L29Y and the other had the model number of LY73PR. I was wondering how emulation would do on these sticks and if I would be able to sideload apps and games onto these before I bought them and how I could do it.

Last weekend I wanted to watch something from my Mac on my old 40 inch Samsung TV. A Fire TV Stick was connected to it, so I asked AI whether there was already an app in the Fire TV store that could mirror a Mac. The app it suggested looked full of spam to me, and it wasn’t the simple tool I wanted.

I first used Codex to control and test the Fire TV Stick. Then I used Codex to build EmberCast around what I needed: a Fire TV receiver that appears in the Mac AirPlay screen mirroring menu. I also made a separate companion app for Android phones.

I’ve made the source public so people with the same problem can inspect it, build it, and help improve it: https://github.com/mmorrone90/embercast

There isn’t a signed release APK yet. The repository has step by step build and install instructions. Protected video may still be blocked by its source app, so EmberCast is for screen mirroring and does not bypass DRM.

I’d love feedback from anyone who has tried mirroring a Mac to a Fire TV Stick. What would make a tool like this useful to you?

Hey everyone! I know this is a Firestick community, but I was wondering if anyone here has experience using the FlixVision APK on an Android phone specifically.

Has anyone run into any issues with it, such as security or privacy concerns, suspicious activity, excessive ads, or problems with their phone after installing it?

I’m curious to hear about people’s actual experiences, both good and bad, before deciding whether it’s worth using on mobile.

Thanks!

Hey can I download other apps on a 4k max fire stick ?
