Brief Summary

This video provides a workaround to bypass Amazon's app blocking on Fire TV Sticks. It introduces the "App Cloner" application, which duplicates apps and changes their package names, effectively unblocking them. The method doesn't require a PC or phone and can be done directly on the Fire Stick.

  • Use "App Cloner" to duplicate apps.
  • Cloned apps have different package names, bypassing Amazon's blocking.
  • The process is done directly on the Fire Stick.

Introduction

Amazon has been blocking apps on Fire TV Sticks, but there's now a solution to bypass this. This method can fix currently blocked apps and prevent future blocking, without needing a PC or phone, as it's all done on the Fire Stick itself. The presenter apologizes for not being at his usual desk and encourages viewers to subscribe for more updates and fixes.

Installing App Cloner

To begin, navigate to the search button on your Amazon Fire Stick and type in "App Cloner". Select the "App Cloner" option from the search suggestions and download the app that appears in the search results.

How App Cloner Works

The "App Cloner" application functions by creating a duplicate of an existing app and assigning it a new package name. For example, an app like Apple TV, which has a package name like "com.apple.tv," will be cloned, and its package name will be changed to something different, such as "com.weather.app." While you can't choose the new name, the app still works.

Cloning and Installing the App

To use the app, select the app you want to clone (e.g., Cinema HD). You may need to agree to permissions and enable app installation for App Cloner. After that, click "clone" to start the process, which modifies the app and renames its package. Once cloning is complete, install the cloned app as normal. You'll then have two versions of the app, with the cloned version having a different package name and bypassing the block.

Additional Tips and VPN Recommendation

Another tip is to clone the Kodi app to have multiple versions with different package names. The presenter encourages viewers to subscribe for more updates and suggests watching a previous video on how to stop Amazon from tracking and collecting data. He also recommends using a VPN, mentioning a Black Friday deal with 83% off for unlimited devices, available in the video description.

0:00 How to stop Amazon blocking apps on your Amazon Fire Stick. As we know over the last couple of weeks, Amazon are now blocking apps on the Fire TV Stick. Plenty of apps have been blocked, but now there's a workar around. There's an easy way to stop this happening. So, it will fix any apps that are currently blocked on your Fire TV Stick and potentially stop it being blocked in the future. I can't see how Amazon are going to fix this issue. So, this could be a long-term solution. And the great thing is you don't need a PC. You don't need your phone. You do it all from your Fire Stick. Now, firstly, apologies. I'm normally at my desk. I'm currently in the bedroom. I've got the Fire Stick on behind me cuz I wanted to get this video out to you as quick as possible to keep you guys in the loop. So, if you're new here, make sure you hit that subscribe button. It would be a big help to me. And I'll keep you updated with fixes

0:46 like this in the future. Right, let's just get into the Fire Stick and show you how to do it. Right now, on your Amazon Fire Stick, head on over to the search button on the left side there. And then in this box, we're going to type in app space cloner. Then once you've typed that in, click on the app cloner words at the bottom. Then on the search results screen, scroll down down and head on over to the app cloner app that looks like that. Then you're going to download and install it to the Fire Stick. Now this is the app. It's super simple to use. Now to give you an example right let's take Apple TV for example even though the app is called Apple TV in the background in the file system of Android there will be a package name and that

1:32 package name will be something like com.apple.tv. It's basically a way to identify the app. What this app does is it will clone the app. So it'll make two of them but the new version instead of it being the Apple's package name it'll rename it to something completely different. So instead of it being com.apple.app, it will be something like com.weather.app. The only downside to this app is you cannot choose what it names it to, but it doesn't matter because it still works. So let's say for argument sake this is cinema HD and that is blocked on the Fire Stick. All we would do is click on the app. Then you might have a box that says you need to agree to the permissions. If you do, click on that. Then go down to the install app screen and enable it for app cloner. It's nice

2:18 and simple. But then once you're done, we're going to come back here and click on clone. What that will do is start to clone the app. It will modify everything and rename the package name for that app. So ultimately, you'll have two apps on your device. The original Cinema and the brand new Cinema HD, which has got a different package name. And another great tip for this is if you've got Kodi on your Fire Stick, what you could also do is do this to the Kodi app and have multiple versions of Kodi because it'll have different package names. Once it's done, it will ask you to install the app as normal. So, the app, the logo, the name, it'll all be the same except for the package name, which you won't get to see, but it doesn't matter anyway because it'll work. And once it's done, you can see I now have two apps. And whichever one was blocked will now be

3:05 working. That is how to stop Amazon blocking apps on your Fire TV Stick. So, if this video's helped you in any way, like I said earlier, please hit that subscribe button. I'm on the way to 200,000 subscribers and I'm going to keep you guys up to date with everything that's going on on the Fire TV Stick. And go and check out some of the other videos on the channel. Got loads of videos coming up. Now, don't forget as well, if you want to stop Amazon tracking and collecting all your data, which they currently are. In fact, I've done a video on how to stop that from happening. I'll link it up in a card. My advice is get a VPN. Right now, there's a Black Friday deal on with 83% off. You get unlimited devices, so you can stick it on as many devices as you like. Take advantage of the offer. It's in the video description, but it is ending soon. Anyway, that's all for this one.
