Zuerst am Smartphone installieren und dann mit https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=en_US&gl=US auf den FireTV übertragen. Bisschen einlesen und Youtube genießen.
From memory of helping a family member do it, easiest way is to upload apps via another android device with an app like Apps2Fire. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv
No doubt there will be a security setting on the firestick that you have to enable to 'allow from unknown sources', but it's pretty easy to do really.
I have it running on all of my firesticks. Here are instructions.
I figured I would share this in case anyone else was or is having issues with connecting their Reolink cameras to their Amazon firesticks. I had been searching for a fix and someone else had posted it. I was using IPcam viewer, but the quality was downgraded and I couldn't get it to work after I connected my NVR.
Step 1. Go into settings on your Firestick, My Fire Tv, Developer options, and turn on ADB debugging and turn on Apps from unknown sources.
Go back to My Fire TV and click about. Go to network and write down the IP address.
Download Apps2fire onto your phone from the market/Apple store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=en
App to FireApple Link https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cetusplay/id1219898700
Open App2fire and scroll to the right where it says setup. Enter the IP address from your firestick and save it. Also make sure you are on your wifi during this process.
Scroll back to the far left of the Apps2fire app and click local apps. Click on Reolink and click install. It will be transferred to your firestick.
This is where I had issues. I moved the firestick remote control every direction to install the Reolink app and you have to eventually click "I agree with the terms". There's no way to click it. So I got a bluetooth mouse and connected it to the firestick. Then you can click agree and continue.
Then you just add the cameras that you want to load. I used the fire tv app on my phone to enter my passwords since the screen isn't formatted correctly.
There is also this for Fire TV https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv
Or just traditional network ADB from a computer.
For people that truly want the easy life download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv sync the IP address and download your apks onto your phone and push it to your fire device be it stick/box/tv you can install apps that you already installed on your phone or apks you downloaded but don't want to install on your phone
It was a bit of an hustle to get it working on my Fire TV stick. I sideloaded the App via this app. Then I had the problem, that this app cant be navigated with the normal Fire TV Remote. So I installed this app from the Amazon playstore, because I didnt find a good one on the Google Play store to be able to navigate the app with a mouse cursor...
In my opinion this is just utter bullshit and Dorna really needs to step up their game and release and actual app for FireTV because this is just stupid!
If you have another Android device then you can use the apps2fire app to install apps from your Android on the Fire TV or browse and upload files to it.
You will need to download it onto the fire stick using the software “Apps2Fire” from an Android phone...
Here’s the link to the app... Apps2Fire
I've not got a stick I've got a aftv 1st gen. Have you tried side loading with ADB. Tree is an APK that you can install APKs from you phone direct to the fire TV also. I'll try look up its name later
Edit, here you go https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=en
You could most likely sideload it. Here's an easy way.
- Get the CalendarWatchface .apk somehow (I probably can't link it here, but it comes up in searching)
- Download that to your phone
- Download Apps2Fire on your phone
- Enable developer mode on your watch, then enable adb debugging and wifi adb debugging
- Open Apps2Fire, configure the connection to your watch, and install the CalendarWatchface .apk
I'll try this when I get home, but hopefully it should work, as it 's a WearOS app anyway.
I'm not sure where you found firedl but I've never seen it mentioned anywhere I always see apps2fire mentioned on the ftv sub. Give that a try it's probably a better option. You could also try the downloader app for your ftv, it's made by the AFTVnews guys and seems to work pretty well.
*Edit: You also have to turn on ADB in your settings on the FTV as well.
You can add Google Play onto the Fire TV.
Also, there's an app that lets you copy your google play apps from your phone to your Fire device as well. Might be worth investigating.
Please, can you upload the com.tagheuer.xxxx apps and upload to Workupload.com?
I'm investing about future app updates for Connected E3
"Enable ADB debugging (Wifi) on the watch. (From Settings, about, and click few times on compilation number to access developer settings). Enter Settings > developer settings. Then use Apps2Fire app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv) on your phone. Set the wifi IP from watch on the phone app. Always allow this device in Debugging.
From Fire TV apps page you can download all com.tagheuer.xxxx apps. (com.tagheuer.watchfaces, com.tagheuer.microapps, com.tagheuer.wellness, etc)"
Please, if you can, I will be very pleased. Thanks in advance Anthony!
>Yes it is!
>The developer published it here: https://github.com/leonardoxh/race-control-tv/releases/tag/v2.0.0
>I used "Apps2Fire" to install it to my FireTV Stick 4k and it worked fantastically.
>Looking forward to testing it live!
Should be able to sideload the APK. Not sure how well it would run however..
If you have an android phone, download Apps2Fire, and then use that to install the Stadia app on the firestick.
Yup. I too installed it on my firestick recently. Just download the tv app on your phone and send it to the stick via Apps2Fire. Cheers!
The easiest way is by loading it onto your phone, and then using Apos2Fire to load it onto the stick.
You could also put a browser on you fire stick and just navigate to the site I linked above.
IIRC second generation fire sticks could use a USB memory drive if you plug a powered USB splitter into it. You could put the .apk file on a thumb drive and install it from there.
ADB commands from a windows computer works.
File sharing between devices via apps like es file explorer. (though I'd remove es file explorer once your done, it has a ton of tracking software.)
Enable ADB debugging (Wifi) on the watch. (From developer settings) Then use Apps2Fire app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv) on your phone. From Fire TV apps page you can download Suunto Wear apk.
I see a lot of people saying to download the APK on the fire TV but that can be a bit of a pain in the ass. I've always found just downloading apps from the play store and then using the apps to fire app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=en) to be much easier.
*requires having an android phone and allowing debugging mode on your fire tv
AdClear has to be sideloaded. If you have an Android phone or tablet, use Apps2Fire to easily handle that task. I've tried Blokada and AdGuard on this device and neither of those apps function as well or offer as much customizability as AdClear.
I get it, but there are several "sideload for firetv" apps in the google play store. They're free and you can use them to sideload and app from your phone to your beta box, as long as you have the developer options set up on the beta box. Then you don't have to get into all the ADB stuff.
I did this recently and it works pretty easily. The only issue is that if you try to load an app that isn't designed for AndroidTV it won't show up in the beta box app list. Prime Video and Hulu both have AndroidTV apps so they will show up. It's better than potentially downloading a apk from some non-good source. Example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=en
Download App2Fire to your phone and connect to your wifi network. You will be able to find your FireTV and push to install any app from your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv
​
Si tu tele tiene sintonizador digital podes ver los canales abiertos en full hd. A mi me anda bien con las antenas de siempre, pero también podes comprar una nueva por 100 pesos en mercadolibre.
La otra sería instalarle vera+ al FireTV con una app, simplemente le pasas apps que ya tenes instaladas en tu cel. No lo he probado, pero debería andar.
Otra alternativa es castear la imagen del cel al fireTV. Manteniendo apretado home en el control te da la opcion de castear, la contra es que es la pantalla del cel y lo tenes que mantener prendido

Use this app.if you have any Android device, or can get your hands on one. Download the Alexa app from the play store and this will allow you to push it directly to the Fire.
Not sure if there is an iPhone equivalent, but apps2fire on Android makes transferring files super easy. I usually just download everything I want on my phone then transfer the apk's, repo zips, etc using this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv
It is much easier / faster to just run Apps2Fire from your Android phone. From your Firestick you need to find your IP address:
Settings > Devices > About > Network
Go to Google Play to download the apps to your phone, run Apps2Fire and click on the apps that you want to transfer.
Just discovered this, and now have chrome browser on my fire tv. Pretty awesome.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv works well and I am sure 4k firetv will work just as well. Just do a free return if they dont.
You will probably need to download the APK from some source and Sideload it into the FireTV by using a 3d party app like Apps2Fire. Make sure that the app you want to install is compatible with a FireTV before following the next steps.
Steps:
- Download the ProgTV apk from apkmirror and save it to your phone
- Download Apps2Fire and install it in your phone
- Open Apps2Fire and press add the IP address of your FireTV in the settings section. Make sure to be in the same wifi network.
- Go back to the main menu of Apps2Fire and press the upload button (An icon with an arrow pointing up)
- Find the apk you want to sideload and, tap it and then select the "Install" option. It will upload and install the app in your FireTV.
- Go to your FireTV Home and enjoy your new app :)
Enjoy!

I use this to transfer files to my firestick. Download the apk on my phone first and then send it across.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv
Use this app to push apks directly. Works fine

Apps2Fire lets you install any app on your Android phone onto your Fire TV.
You can use apps like Apps2Fire to sideload apps to your FireTV.
(You need to enable ADB debugging in system settings)
I've been using adbLink, AppStarter, and Apps2Fire (android) to quickly install Kodi/SPMC on fire sticks.
I HATE typing on the Firestick so this is my way around that.
By downloading AppStarter on my Android phone, I was able to send that program to the FireStick (once debugging is turned on and I knew the IP of the fire stick), and AppStarter has a screen that allows the install of Kodi or SPMC, which I like. I used adbLink to backup my current Kodi setup on my PC and then restored the exact backup to my 3 new FireSticks.
Links:
(adbLink, optional): http://www.htpcbeginner.com/install-and-configure-adblink-for-amazon-fire-tv/
(Appstarter, easy installation): https://github.com/sphinx02/AppStarter/releases
(Apps2Fire, if you have Android, use this to send an app to Firestick): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=en
YMMV, but I've gotten 3 Firesticks to have identical setups for gifts in roughly 10 minutes each
edit: You could, in theory, just download Apps2Fire then download Kodi from Play Store and sideload that app onto the Firestick.
I just used apps2fireto upload kodi to my firestick from my phone

Agreed, here's a few other ways to side load apps to a fire stick;

It's not hard at all to get kodi on a fire tv.
You don't need to root it to get Kodi. I used this app on my Android device
Here's a link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv I used it to install Kodi and ES File Explorer, and FireStarter
Mit Apps4Fire (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=de&gl=US) schon probiert?
I have spent the better part of the evening working on this and here's what I came up with:
First things first, I should mention that I did this with an Android device - no type of fanboy flex here, it's just relevant as unfortunately I have no idea if this is possible from an iPhone or other device.(I'll put a possible workaround for other devices at the bottom of the post, but I'm lazy and I didn't actually test it sooo...)
Thing 2 - I recommend that you download the following apps on your Android device to make this happen:
Thirdly, you need to make sure that your fire device and your Android device are connected to the same wifi network.
Fourth of all, you will need to enable developer options on your fire device (Settings> My Fire TV> Developer options) Make sure that both "ADB debugging" and "Apps from Unknown Sources" are turned on.
So here's how it works; Apps2Fire is a handy little tool that allows you to side load any app that is on your Android device to your fire device, wirelessly.
Under the Apps2Fire setup tab you will need to provide the ip for your fire device (you can find this on your fire tv by going to 'Settings> My Fire TV> About> Network'.
Once you provide the ip in Apps2Fire, hit save and wait for confirmation that it is connected (if it doesn't connect there is usually a notification that helps you troubleshoot)
After it connects go to the "Local Apps" tab and scroll until you find the Volume Control app that we just downloaded to your Android. Select and hit "Install" to add it to your fire TV.
Once the install is complete you should be able to find the volume control app on your fire tv. The app is made for android phones, so it can be a little tricky to see where the cursor is and to navigate, but if you play with it for a little while you'll get the hang of it. There are also volume sliders for a bunch off stuff you don't really need, but luckily all of the sliders do the same thing on the fire device so no worries... Also, there are in-app ads, which I FUGGIN HATE, but trust me I tried like a mamillion volume manager apps for this and this one works the best so far.
In my experience the app only impacts the volume when your Bluetooth device is connected and then everything reverts back to 100% automatically on disconnect. It also seems like it saves your previous audio state and reinitializes that again when you reconnect, so... yeah, that's pretty dope. Enjoy!
Workaround: There's an app for the fire tv called "Downloader" (just search for "Downloader" on your fire TV) above I referenced a specific app that will control your Fire TV volume (I recommend clicking the link up there to see the app icon and Developer info so that you can find that specific app with the Downloader tool)
Download and open the Downloader tool and in the search box type "Volume Control APK", find that specific app based on the icon and Developer info and download it from whatever site that might have it. Once downloaded you will be prompted to install. Btw, you will also need developer options enabled to install the apk file (explained above.)
So that's what I got. I know it's a helllla long post, but I also know how annoying this problem is.
Hope this helps, Cheers.
If you have an Android phone, you can try using Apps2fire to sideload Client for Put.io. (Works well for me)
Or maybe try this method
I have used this for all my fire sticks Apps2Fire
You mean install tasker on firetv?
Sideload it through Apps2Fire, install apps2fire and tasker on your phone, then check the ip adress of your firetv, set it in the settings of apps2fire, then install the app on your firetv.
The problem is I don't know if tasker works without google play, without license checking. Also FireTV is missing some permissions, you could give them through adb, I don't know, that means that some functionalities won't work.
Also maybe you need a hub (with power for the firetv) and mouse and keyboard or bluetooth mouse and keyboard, so it it easier to work with.
apps2fire:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv
use your phone as a touchpad and keyboard:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.storm.lightning.client.aosp
FireTV 4k hub for mouses, keyboard with dongles / usb ethenet adapters / external HDD/ssd:
bluetooth mouse (without dongle):
I second Apps2Fire. It's by far the easiest way to sideload apps to the Fire TV Stick.
Apps2Fire is a handy app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=en
You can download native youtube app on your firestick. No need for using it on firefox.
Download YouTube TV 2.01.04 version from apkmirror.com. You can download apk on your phone and then use Apps2Fire app to send apk to firestick. (You will have to enable "allow app installation from apk files" from developer settings of firestick. It's required if you want to install apps from apk file.)
Or
You can directly download apk using downloader app from amazon app store on your firestick. Put this url and click download apk.
Just link your phone and other sevices to your YouTube TV app so that you can cast videos to your TV from your phone/tablet.
This app is great for sending apps to a Fire TV
Use adbLink on a Windows PC or use Apps2Fire on an Android device.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but here.
Install Echo Wizard.
Make a backup with it.
Then on a Android Tablet/Phone install Apps2Fire (plenty of youtube how-to guides on how to use it).
Then pull the backup.zip from the FTS using Apps2Fire and save it to the Android device.
Now you have a fully working backup that you can push to other FTS and use Echo Wizard to restore it.
On developer option, check unknown source, so you can sideload apk. For actual sideloading use this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv
An Android tablet/phone will do it.
I use Apps2Fire to install SPMC & Ace Stream Media.
Then add this kodi wizard to the Firestick download folder, and install the wizard addon within SPMC, then run it. Once it has downloaded and installed the build. Pull the power and power back on the Stick and open SPMC.
It will take awhile for everything to setup. So just sit back and have a cup of tea.
If you need more info just ask. But that is the basics to it. Just do a bit of googling on how to use Apps2Fire.
EDIT#
This will help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuDCwzO2CGw
The part about the .apk you can just skip. If you have SPMC installed to the Android tablet/phone that is running Apps2Fire, you can install it to the stick from the Android device.

For those interested, I got Kodi off the Play Store then used this app to sideload it to the Fire Stick.
1) sideloading is completely possible to get the emulators installed although the a lot of the paid emulators will refuse to work without google play services, they should be able to read a flash drive just fine (provided it is formatted FAT32).
2) there was a post a while ago about a program that provided a nice front-end called gamesome to use on the fireTV, here is the post. I believe you have to install the emulators manually which isn't a major issue (and may save some space), gamesome provide a recommended list but as said earlier paid emulators may be difficult on an unrooted fireTV.
3) The fireTV seems to run most emulators fine, some of the more intensive console emulators have some difficulty maintaining a good frame-rate (such as ppsspp for psp) but in general the fire controller (and in some cases remote) is good enough to play most games. I haven't had any experience using an Xbox controller, not sure how reliable using it with a usb hub would be.
In order to install the emulators either use an android app like Apps2Fire to push the Apk files to the FireTV or install off the flash drive using a file manager (like X-Plore).
