Hello, mouse toggle no longer works as it’s been blocked by Amazon if you didn’t disable updates. I think I will remove it from Toolbox as most people have updates enabled on their Fire TV devices so might as well just get rid of it.

I use the mouse in ATVTools. I really only have a couple things I use it for, but it’s handy.

Avid08 · 2025-03-23T19:37:18.107Z

It is a handy app and available for iOS as well…

Starman2022 · 2025-03-23T22:23:30.731Z

No I have not messed with DNS. Every other link works. I’m using an OpenWRT router thru Luci if that would change anything? But weird everything else works. Thanks for the help!

Starman2022 · 2025-03-24T01:42:20.229Z

Ok Troy! Thanks for being on top of this. Is there another mouse with the fire stick/TV remote? Someone just mentioned APTV Tools, I think it’s called.

Compatibility and stricter firmware seems to make later build fire sticks 4K/Max harder…

Thanks again for all you do!

Is the Troypoint Rapid App Installer still available. When i cleared/reset my Firestick I lost it. Now i can not find it again.

Graham1 · 2025-03-24T09:46:41.343Z

How do you disable updates on a Firestick. I hate it when Amazon do things like disabling apps. Or blocking access to install apps.

Miki · 2025-03-24T13:06:34.262Z

No more rapid app installer. But there is a toolbox.

My Firestick has updated and i can not even install a kodi fork from Troys page on AFTV NEWS in Downloader. Any one got any fixes?

verna2197 · 2025-03-27T16:09:18.200Z

Got up 3 days ago and can not load kodi. All I get is a black screen, using the firestick. Can someone please help?
Thank you

You probably want to give a little more information, how much memory is available, what load/build are you using, which Firestick. I don’t really know if it will help find an answer but there isn’t enough info to really help.

@Graham1 , I just went out to the toolbox and downloaded and installed the 21.2 Omega from the toolbox and downloaded and installed the 21.2 fork, they both run on my HD Firestick so the software appears to be fine.

verna2197 · 2025-03-27T19:52:16.242Z

I have the newest firestick, have IPVanish with killswitch, I had just downloaded a kodi bulid onto the stick. Can not remember what all I had.Told me I was using 4.28gb of 5.35gb and had 1.06gb left.
Anyway I just went in and reset Kodi and now will have to put everything back onto it. I am wanting to add more memory to this if at all possible. I am not really sure if I am even doing all of this correctly, should have done all this when I was younger.

Timwort · 2025-03-27T21:12:56.156Z

So my guess is that’s going to be a challenge with that amount of free space and Kodi, what you can do is get 32G USB stick and a OTG cable and expand the storage, move all the apps you can to the USB stick to get a couple Gig of free memory. Kodi uses a lot.

How to Expand Internal Storage on Firestick & Fire TV Cube (2022) .

I’ll be honest I stopped using Kodi and won’t use it on a Firestick, I have, but the newer the Kodi the more memory Kodi uses, also some of the bigger builds can be an issue.

If you are going to use Kodi and you can’t invest in say a 4k Pro or even a 4k Max Firestick (both have more memory) you should consider light Kodi builds and remove most other apps, remove cache on a regular basis and don’t let a lot of stuff run in the background, every app you start stays in the background, it’s the way Android works. They aren’t out right running but the structure is there and does use some memory.

You may have seen the thread about the “Background Apps & Process List” app, it’s used to forse stop apps so they no longer run in the background and to clear cache.

Adding internal storage is a different set of problems, on Google TV/Android TV apps will update in added storage but not with the Firestick so there is painful process for that, I added a reply about how to do it somewhere on this site.

You’ll want to format the stick to Fat 32 but all of that is in Troy’s post.

Other may have a different opinion as to how to proceed but that’s my two cents worth. Good luck!
Feel free to ping me if I can help.

@verna2197 Kodi should not take a lot of storage on your device.
I have Nimbus skin and three of the top videos add-ons and an about 8 program add-ons and my total storage is never over 400mb.
You can set how much ram it used for caching video, which by default is 20mb.
You can up this if you are affected with buffering while watching content.
Install EZ maintenance and set it to run every few days or once a week.
This will keep your build clean.
As mentioned try to have android background apps running to a minimum because the Firestick only has 2gb of RAM. This should help Kodi run smoother.
Try not to install large builds they will not run well on Firestick.

Ok I reset my kodi and tried to put back diggz xenon build with the free version of xenon. Its not working right, I am unable to find a show, no streams available on it. Getting pretty frustrating here

Timwort · 2025-03-30T14:46:02.422Z

Hi @verna2197, as I mentioned I’m not a big Kodi fan, I saw a link from one of the Troypoint users with tips about Kodi setup and have been looking for it, it was good but for some reason I can not find it, only a few days ago I saw it, not much help, I know.

You might try a different build, make sure your using a compatible build/Kodi version.

I looked again for that link, it was a video I believe and I thought I had saved it, but apparently not. It was from a Troypoint user but not Troy’s video.

There is a lot of Kodi stuff on here, maybe too much , try searching for xenon, sorry I can’t be more help, so many Kodi users here hopefully someone will comment with good suggestions.

Kodi Setup Video Start2Finish Kodi

Back again, but this time better! Whether you’re a first time beginner or a seasoned veteran, this video has something for everyone. The video is long, but if you set it up right the first time you won’t have to touch it for years. I uploaded the video to my Google Drive, so hopefully it never gets taken down. Covered in this video: -Installing Kodi -File Permissions -The Crew Wizard -The Crew Addon -Home Screen Layout -Video/Audio Settings -Default Audio Language -Subtitles -Auto Lau…

Now that is the video you are looking for I believe. So now let me show you how to save/bookmark important posts for your own personal use. Down the bottom right of a post you should see 3 horizontal dots, click on those, then a line of option icons pop up. Click the one that looks like a ribbon. Now that saves it under your avatar. So if you want to get back to that exact post you click your avatar on the top right, then on the right panel pop out you will see a ribbon, click it and then your saved posts will show. Click on the post you want and it opens. Always a good idea, if you are setting up a device, or an app, you can save any posts or vids links for you to use. When a bookmark is open, down the bottom of the post you will see an edit bookmark icon and you can click that to modify or delete your bookmark.

Thanks @Miki !

Any time my friend. I love teaching ppl how to use their tools more effectively and in particular the site tools that will make your experience here at Troypoint much more enjoyable. Have a great day.

You downloaded the Xenon Free build and get no results?

I just tested it and it is working for me.

Make sure all the addons are updated.

Edit: movies worked but was having issue woth tv shows.

Install (click on it) “The Free Addon” at the bottom of either the movie or tv sections. Tv shows played well.
