How to sideload an APK on Fire TV (Fire Stick, Fire TV Cube)

Статья на английском
Fire OS can install any APK that does not depend on Google Play Services. That single constraint rules out most Google apps but leaves media players, IPTV clients and launchers working.
CleanYourTV itself runs on Fire OS, but Fire OS does not expose a home-app picker, so the Home button keeps returning to the Amazon launcher.
Как установить
- Settings → My Fire TV → About → click the device name 7 times to unlock Developer Options.
- Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → turn on ADB debugging and Apps from Unknown Sources.
- Install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore, or sideload it via ADB.
- Open Downloader, enter the APK URL, and confirm the download.
- When prompted, allow Downloader to install unknown apps, then install.
- Launch from Settings → Applications → Manage Installed Applications.
Частые вопросы
Why does the Home button still open the Amazon launcher?
Fire OS has no home-app chooser and ignores launcher intents from third parties. Use the app's own shortcut or a Fire TV launcher workaround.
Do Google apps work on Fire TV?
Generally no. They require Google Play Services, which Fire OS does not ship.
