4 and 4.1 are actually different. The one for 4.1 wont work for 4 just so you are aware.

Ya I haven’t a clue about his device and Android 4. But it’s a lead and may work for his version. Worth a try.

He has 4.4.2 so the 2020 one is for 4.1+ so that should work.
ok. Good information. I am anxious to give it a try.
Well, thanks for all of the help. I am going to give up. I tried all of the versions from 2020 and the same thing. I could not get troypoint to install from them. Thanks again.

Oh you won’t. Troy’s RAI is not compatible with Android before V6. But you should have been able to install “downloader” and sideload any compatible apps.
I could and did download Downloader, but I was trying to put in troypoint.com/tpapp and ipvanish both and just got an error message. No worries…

But as Troy mentioned, you cannot install the tpapp as it is not compatible with an Android OS before V6. Yours is 4.4.2 and that is “before” Android 6. If the downloader installed, and works, you can now go to sources that have Android 4.4 compatible apps and install them. You don’t need Troy’s RAI. Now for an older IPVanish go to the following site using the “Downloader”, scroll down and click the 3 vertical dots beside say the 2019 APK and you will see what Android OS version it is compatible with and with Downloader you can install it.

Darn, I was so close … I got the right ver. of downloader installed. I found a compatible ver. of ipvanish #52477 installed. Thinking I’m in hog heaven, when I go to enter my username and password it says … unknown error.
What a let down… ha ha, oh well I was close.

Hi Troy! I have Troy build in my DOWNLOADER as a favorite! I’m trying to install ur Rapid App Installer! I’m running 4K MAX Fire OS 7.6.6.9) I’ve used ur tool box many times and never a problem! ADB and Unknown Source are both ON! Each time I put in ur ’ TROYPOINT Toolbox ’ it comes up with the TROYPOINT TOOLBOX and not the downloaded APK as in ur tutorial for ur Rapid App Installer! Attempted to go to the developers site and the app isn’t there or a message similar to that! HELP/SOLUTIONS…thanks *** I live in TROY, NY LOL

The RAI has been shut down for a long time.

Thank you Miki! I was looking for the Firestick App Killer to shut down the apps running in the background the developer was TDUK…any idea where it might be found! I don’t see it in the toolbox …unless I’m missing it! Thank you!

Amazon disabled some ADB access for some apps.
Thank you …appreciate it ! Stranger, but they haven’t put up an update( and they could) that prevents you from side-loading and using the build which give you know access! Why? Because they want ppl to still buy the product even at the expense of other companies who may have their products somehow compromised! GREED!

Amazon won’t block sideloading, mostly because they need developers to test their Apps on the FireOS platform to help find bugs. Free labour of course. We don’t yet know what will happen with the new OS coming on the Firesticks. More Amazon control and more ads most likely, but just how far they’ll go is anyone’s guess.
Miki, do you know how to stop those three boxes that keep popping up as when the device goes to sleep! I’ve cut of the sleep to NEVER, but those 3 little boxes on a black screen and the time in the upper corner keeps appearing! I’m driving the 4K Max 16 GB OS 8

Can you provide a screenshot? I’m not sure what you are referring to.
