Had existing WOLF on mine. Added the launcher manager, and boom everything went bad.
Had to get into apps via shutdown menu and uninstall launcher manager to get functions back again.
Then used projectivy and had less problems. So switch to just using PROJECTivy on the FTV MAX. But had to uninstall launcher manager after projectivy was set up as exclusive launcher. Speculate that some memory location was broken when I had wolf on there.
One thing I guess I forgot to mention was I fully formatted both Max sticks before doing all of this. So they both were freshâŠwhich honestly, I would recommend resetting the stick and starting fresh first if it is feasible.
Just be careful of the instructions. If you know how to install apps via downloader, and you know how to use a computer or smart phone and ADB to write commands, then you are good.
1). Activate developer and ADB correctly.
2). Install launcher manager and projectivy from troypoint site. Start them up. Then exit out of them.
3). Use an ADB tool to get into your firetv remotely. Change the permissions on the launcher manager app via the command line ADB tool.
If this is all too vague, that makes sense. The instructions by the video are so detailed and nuanced itâs easy to make a simple mistake. Good colleague recommended a factory fresh FTV to do any of this and have to agree.
Totally understand and agree about formated factory fresh sticks to start with.
Thanks, my main tv is fine. But it will not let me add a 2nd ip address in the launcher . . Will this work if the firestick has already taken the block download ?

Change vpn location. Certain ones cause problems
Whatâs ftv and was this on a pc or mobile please
Hello, when you say
Do you mean you canât add another IP address in ADB Link software?
You can add multiple profiles in that app, just click new and name it something different than your first device and then type in the IP address of the new Fire TV you are working on.
Many people who move over to a new system and try to do this again are forgetting steps or missing important details. You may want to use the video again on the second device.
I followed the video instructions and everything went well, seems like everything is working app wise. The only issue I have is under tools android settings I canât open âMy Fire TVâ or âDeveloper Optionsâ all other settings open fine but those 2 just wonât open. Fire TV Cube version 7, Any ideas?
Thanks, Steve
Hi Steve, did you also follow my update video that I put out today? That may take care of some of your problems but if youâve already done that I would suggest making sure you hit the Setup LM Settings button in launcher manager like I show in this new video.
No I havenât done the latest update, I will give it a try. i am 90% sure I did as instructed and hit the LM settings button, is there a way to check or go back?
Thanks, Steve
I have tried to download the apps indicated in the video. While I was able to download ProjectIvy, I have no link to Launch Manger or LM Settings. Can someone help me with this please?
Hi, as @AMD237 references everything is outlined in the video and I strongly suggest that you watch that again. Those apps are in our Toolbox. If you have questions like this you really need to watch the video again. Click the pause button between each step so you donât miss anything.
Sorry, this was my mistake. I expected them under the âLaunchersâ category, and when I didnât see them there I didnât look further. They are near the bottom of the applications. Problem Solved.
Miki, I hope you or someone else knows the answer.
I have 4 firesticks. I followed troyâs video, slowly, and yes was able to succeed with installing Launcher Manager and having it work in the first that I tried.
When I went to the 2nd one, first thing to check was that Iâm on the same network as my laptop that Iâm using. When I went to settings>network I see the same screen âEthernet Connectedâ
When I click to open, instead of seeing my network connection this is what comes up.
I put in my IP Address from the stick, hit enter and
Itâs asking me to enter the network prefix length.
All Iâm trying to find out is which network Iâm using on this stickâ.
Any advice please
If I were you, I would turn on the WIFI on that stick and also on the laptop. It creates much less confusion. If you wanted to go back to ethernet after the installation, that is your choice.
