If your remote has an app button that is not included in this guide, please reply to THIS COMMENT with: 1) The name of the app that the button launches, and 2) The package name of the app the button launches.
Kramar, I just tried it on a TCL Alto 8+ soundbar and it worked for me for both the Netflix and the HBO button. Please try to uninstall all Remapper apps, then install both real Netflix and HBO apps, then uninstall Netflix and HBO apps, then try installing the Remapper apps again. Please let me know if this fixes anything!
Estoy en Colombia y aqui no se puede descargar Hulu, aun asi uso el remappeador de hulu y todo termina aparentemente con exito, excepto porque me sigue mandando al instalador de Hulu, donde me recuerda que no esta disponible.
Try uninstalling the Remapper for Disney app, then install the official Disney app, launch it once, then uninstall the official Disney app, then reinstall Remapper for Disney. Let me know if that fixes it.
Amazon has added measures to block the original Remapper apps, but I have found a workaround and have updated this guide. You should uninstall all Remapper apps and carefully follow this guide from the beginning. Please let me know if the updated method works.
Try uninstalling the Remapper for Disney or Hulu app, then install the official Disney or Hulu app, launch it once, then uninstall the official Disney or Hulu app, then reinstall Remapper for Disney or Hulu.
I am interested in adding and remapping two of the buttons (Disney+ & Hulu) to apps that are not currently listed. I already subscribe to the two services listed below and watch them the most, especially when traveling.
In step 2, you are uninstalling the app that matches the logo on the button you are remapping. For example, if you are remapping the Netflix button, then you would uninstall Netflix. In step 5, you are selecting the app that you want the button to open. So if you want the Netflix button to launch Pluto instead, then you would select Pluto for step 5.
Sorry, but no. If you use the Remapper app for Hulu it means you cannot also have the real Hulu app installed. This is because the only way for the Remapper app to work is to mimic the real Hulu app, so the two cannot be installed simultaneously on the Fire TV. You have to choose between remapping the Hulu button or having the actual Hulu app installed.
Anyway to remap the danz or any other button to go to cable input. (HDMI 2) I hate having to push 2-3 buttons to go to cable every time I turn on the tv. I wish it would just stay on the last input I was on.
Sorry, but it will never be possible to remap the Prime Video button because the Prime Video app cannot be uninstalled. This remapping method replaces the app being remapped, so since it is impossible to replace the Prime Video app, the Prime Video button cannot be remapped.
The Remapper app you install is the one that matches the button being pressed, not the app being launched. Any app you have installed can be assigned as the app that opens when the remote button is pressed.
I just noticed on my insignia fire tv edition remote that the hbo button I used to have remapped for YouTube tv now launches Disney+ no matter what I do. Tried to reconfigure the remapper and uninstalled the remapper app, still launches Disney+
With an software update this week to fire os 7.2.6.9 for my Grundig fire tv edition, DAZN and TVnow do not work anymore. I uninstalled the remapper apps reinstalled DAZN and TVnow, started both, uninstalled both, reinstalled both remapper apps. But they will not start when pressing the buttons. Starting the remapper apps manually in the apps settings to assign my apps works.
12/24/21Remapping Hulu and Netflix apps worked on Fire TVs before. Now, clicking the remapped buttons turns on TV but not launching the remapped app. OS updated to 7.2.6.8 by the Amazon. Tried: uninstall and reinstall remap apps: tried on two Fire TVs, both failed. Thanks in advance.

12/24/21 updated the remap app launched after loginRemapping Hulu and Netflix (2210 and 2212) apps worked on Fire TVs before. Now, clicking the remapped buttons turns on TV but not launching the remapped app. OS updated to 7.2.6.8 by the Amazon. Tried: uninstall and reinstall remap apps: tried on two Fire TVs, both failed. Thanks in advance.When going to Fire TV OS settings-applications, running the remap app either 2210 or 2212 do launch the remapped target apps. But pressing the buttons on the remote(s) does nothing. Noticed the updated OS is forcing the user to select the login profile.
I just tried to use the remapper for Hulu, 2212. When I tried to install the firestick said the package was corrupt. I then installed the Disney + remapper just fine. You may want to check the 2212 package to see if it is in fact corrupted.
I have remapped my button Disney+ to launch Apple TV, but it does not open the app. In fact, it does nothing when I press the button. However, if I go to the remap app in my settings>applications and go to the remapping app and choose Launch App it will launch Apple TV. What am I doing wrong?
Doesnt work for me! Ive disney+hotstar installed but it still doesnt open it and says app not installed, i tried remapper too, still same! I also tried remapping the hulu button to youtube and itsays the same, app not installed!!
Disney + mapper on firestick 4k max remote stops working and I have to reinstall and it will work for awhile then it goes back to trying to install disney+ instead of app mapped to it. What causes that
Thanks. Running the command through ADB on a PC does work fine and avoids needing to use the Remote ADB app. I just decided to use the Remote ADB app in my guide because it means the whole thing can be done from the Fire TV remote without needing an external device.
Yes, your guide is definitely the best way to do it all on the device itself. Most people will have no problems following that but since I had ADB already installed on my desktop (for other development work), I figured that would be a suitable workaround for the broken workaround :D
Thanks so much for the updated installation instructions. My 4K Firestick just got updated to FireOS version 6.2.8.7 and my remapped Disney+ button stopped launching Kodi. I kind of suspected it might be intentional by Amazon, what with the recent blocking of 3rd-party launchers, so I hoped there was a fix in the works. Your instructions worked perfectly (until Amazon gets more aggressive I guess) and I can launch Kodi with a remote button again.
allways getting insatll_failed_version_downgradeany solution?yeah i accidentially cliked install first after downloading via downloaderbut only got install error, also couldnt uninstall anything as there wasnt anything to uninstallnice work btw, hope you can help ;)
The latest Fire TV update broke the original Remapper method. This guide has been updated with a new method. If Remapper used to work for you but has stopped working, then you need to uninstall all Remapper apps and then follow this new updated guide from the very begining.
Instead of messing with an app on the firestick, I just ran the adb.exe from my PC and connected to the stick remotely. Using the same install command with the -i option. Worked like a charm for the Hulu bottom which I mapped to the wolf launcher.
i have root my fire tv stick and change firmware to lineage instead of firetv osnow i would like to remap prime video button to something elseany source code for this remap apps so that i can try to compile for prime video button remap?
The remapper app opens the desired app just fine (Apple TV in my case), when started from the apps screen. However, pressing the Disney button now seems to do nothing. Before installing the remapper, it started the Disney app or opened the app store to install it.
Every once in a while I retry to make it work to see if anything has changed but I always get the same outcome: if I navigate to the Disney+ app and launch it, it opens my app instead. But the Disney+ button does nothing.
Press the Disney+ button.. nothing.Go to apps list, scroll to Disney+ and launch it.It opens the remapper app. I select my app.Press the Disney+ button.. nothing.Select the Disney+ app from the home screen, opens my app instead.
Having to navigate and click on the Disney+ icon to launch my app implies no advantage over navigating to my app and click on in. The whole point of the app is to be able to launch it by pressing a button on the remote.
