Make no doubt about it, however, that Amazon designed the devices to be very Amazon-ecosystem centric and there is a strong push toward you only using apps from the Amazon Appstore. While the Amazon Appstore has a wide selection of applications there are two big issues Fire TV owners bump into. Kodi, the media center software formerly known as XBMC, is a perfect example of this. Fortunately for you, us, and anyone else looking to load apps on their Fire TV we can take advantage of the developer options included with the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick to load any Android application we want.
The first technique involves using the command line interface on your computer to send Android installation files APKs right to your device. The second technique is a rather clever and convenient one: using a helper application on a device running Android to shuttle installed apps right from your device to the Fire TV.
There are a handful of applications in the Google Play store that offer Android-to-Fire transfer, but we had the best luck with the application Apps2Fire; you can download it here. Although you never see it directly in action, Apps2Fire and similar applications are just wrappers for ADB. If you already have the app ready to go on your phone or you can easily download it from the Play store it makes sense to use Apps2Fire and transfer it right from your device to the Fire.
All the steps in this tutorial are completely interchangeable between the Amazon Fire TV and the Fire TV Stick; the only difference between the two is that the Fire TV has more processing power than the Fire Stick and will offer superior performance for any CPU-hungry applications you send over. The first option turns on the ADB link so that you can remotely bridge the Android debugging client to your Fire unit.
Also note that if you restart your Fire device and you have not specified a static IP address for it, this address may change if the DHCP server assigns a new one.
All the following steps presume you already have ADB installed and if you do not, please refer to our guide here. Load a command prompt in the directory where your APK is stored e. X is the IP address of your Fire unit on the local network and someapp. Once you issue the command, sit back and relax.
It can take anywhere from a few seconds to 10 minutes or more depending on the size of the file. One of the biggest complaints we hear is that people already have an app on their phone or tablet and they want to have it on their Fire device. First, download and install Apps2Fire from the Google Play store here.
