How to Quickly Launch Kodi on Fire TV

Once Kodi is installed, you'll notice that the Kodi app does not appear on Fire TV's home screen.  The only way to run this app is to go through settings and managed installed apps.  Well, this will become tedious in no time.  Luckily, adbFire (v2.01) allows you to install something called "FireStarter".  I like to think of it as a start menu for Fire TV.  It runs in the background and pops up when you press the home button twice.  An example FireStarter looks something like this:

Click on Kodi on this "start menu", and it'll launch Kodi... that's it so much easier :)

There are other instructions on the internet on how to put the Kodi app on the home screen.  I've tried a couple of these methods, but neither of them is easier than just installing FireStarter.

So here are the instructions:

Step 1. Launch adbFire again

Step 2. Re-connect your Fire TV to the PC (follow my previous post on installing Kodi step 5)

Step 3. Click on  the "FireStarter" button



Let the install finish and then reboot your Fire TV... that's it.
