Thanks RR for replying to my question (however long it was, lol). And sorry for taking so long to respond. I always reset the Kindle to factory settings but each time I reinstall Kodi (download a fresh version) here comes these same ads from Android Application and Amazon cluttering up my device. I just hate seeing them. I have even clear cache data and when I install Kodi again they come back. Someone tell me it just propbably things that come with my device. I just don’t bother with them anymore and just go ahead and install the add-ons that are stable. Thank you again for responding
Galaxy S5 Marshmallow won’t go full screen. You can’t change it.
Karlene,
Factory Reset your Kindle Fire.
Reinstall the basic KODI version and only install extra add-ons you know are working and stable.

I have a Kindle Fire from Amazon that I am once again trying to add KODI.
It’s a 5th generation.
I install kodi jarvis 16 on it without a problem but try to install another source and it did not install.
Since it was just there and add a lot of things listed but not the zip file i decide to uninstall kodi and tried to reinstall it but had problems doing so.
I downloaded v17 krypton and install the ares wizard first and then went on to install fusion echo phoenix, etc.
They all install until i tried schism.
Same thing happen where no zip file was there but it dump a whole lot of things on my device.
I didn’t like that so I decide to do a fresh install.
I tried 3 different ways and none work.
I said this because when they are going over to show that nothing is on kodi on mine in the add-ons was Categories on top with a list under it with my add-ons, available updates, recently updated, etc.
When I press my add-ons it has a long list of things and so is with all the other listing under Categories.
Under that was Android apps with a list included Appstore, Kindle store, Downloads Alexa, Amazon Freetime, etc.
I do not remember seeing all this info when I first did it.
When you first hit Settings and there is a Profile directory and Add Source, in the Profile directory is a whole list of things.
This all happen when I did the Fresh Start and each time I uninstall and reinstall it’s there.
My question is why does it suddenly have all this on my Kindle now.
Is it suppose to be there?
And how do I get rid of them.
I have also re-downloaded Kodi both versions and both are the same.
Beth,
Reset the device to factory settings and do it over again but press YES for ADD-ON’s.

Installing XBMC KODI, I panicked and clicked ‘no’ while during setup it asked about add ons and mentioned third parties, now none of my add ons will work, how do I correct this? I cannot find an option to anywhere. Thank you.
I have a Kodi box running on Android. We have the gaming add on so we have thousands of games from every system that we can now play using a wireless controller. I started playing an old MAME game called Megazone…. but I’m trying to figure out if there is a way to enable input cheats on this OS. I know you can on a computer but don’t know how or if it has the ability to using android. Can anyone help me with this?
