I have had a few comments asking about the customization keys on the bottom of the Fire tv remotes. These typically allow you to get into Netflix, Prime video or other apps depending on your country. Today I will walk you through how to remap these keys to get into other various apps.

Seems like amazon blocked the launcher manager app. I install it, it opens for a second then closes and is nowhere to be found. Any workarounds?

[@bcoverss]

Same here, its useless.

[@paulbufano2017]

Is there a new fix for this? Lanch Manager seems to be blocked. Thanks!

[@GCMGaming]

Literally none of this worked

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

hmm why not

[@GCMGaming]

@@UpgradeGuyTech no clue...started from scratch twice and followed exactly. Just bought the max gen 2 ...that why?

[@danielrhinehardt6963]

Says launcher manager has been blocked

[@tamiltholaikatchi]

​@@UpgradeGuyTech just bought 4k max firestick. Did as you said. But it not working. Is it working for you? Did they update and it failed?

[@DropBearJroc]

Yeah doesn't work. Launcher manger doesn't open once installed

[@davidflanders8990]

When I opened the Launcher Manager, I was unable to select Launcher Options. It just wouldn't highlight.

[@SarahBhaiSaab]

This video is obsolete, Amazon has blocked the app from working. When you click Open, you get the message "App disabled...You can keep the app on your device but you will be unable to use it" Consider deleting or re-naming this video to not waste the time of people who are looking for a current working method.

[@greyeagle4388]

Firestick has disabled this. Are there any new work arounds at all?

[@wandahill1619]

Steps were easy to follow, but didn't work for me. Buttons still go to what they say instead of what I programmed them to do.

[@musikmanok]

Can’t seem to get launcher Manager to open. Says it’s installed but when I hit open it takes me back to the app file. It is also not in my apps

[@sirmaverickrock]

I installed the app 2x, but both times, the app disappeared. The app never opened. The screen went black, then returned me to the Downloader screen.

[@ThatOneEnby88]

Amazon's new os8 blocks the apps and they cannot be properly installed or ran anymore. I don't know of a current work around so this sucks.

[@buscaquehacer]

Launch manager is blocked, Fire Security disabled the launcher app. Is there a way work around this?

[@barkers0609]

To use this does it have to open up launcher manager every time I press the home button? I don’t care for that. But I do like having my button reprogrammed to what I want it to be.

[@armandfusco6482]

will this work on a brand new- software updated firestick 4k max

[@thebudman4203]

It's either i cut part of the pad offf or use my remote for my older fire tv. Still has volume and power and all i need.

[@johncross9065]

I just went through and added everything following your video. But it did not work. The original buttons stayed the same. I also removed the apps for Netflix, Direct TV, and Peacock, and they still did not stop working. I tried double tapping the buttons still did not work. The reason I was trying to make this work is, my mother-in-law moved in with us and she can't remember more than a couple buttons to find anything. Please help. John C.

[@Joltfreek]

same here

[@SunMaximus]

can you remap the button to 2x or 3x speed youtube videos ?

[@catchdjaks]

Asking for an updated version of the app

[@joelvismapello5767]

Why does it goes to launcher app every time i click home bottom? Is there a way to change the that?

[@thebudman4203]

I use an app the then usb smb to get it to my phone. Or last time i used another app that let me use a qr code then i could upload from my phone after it opened a server.

[@terrylamar]

This works but doing this wipes out the custom launcher I setup with launcher manager. Any workaround to have customer launcher AND the remap the 4 buttons? Thanks!

[@etownsterguy9489]

FOR F SAKE TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN. YOU ARE WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME. THIS HACK DOES NOT WORK AND HASN'T WORKED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS

[@ryanzabout4292]

no. this video is still helpful to the people who are learning to hack a firestick. go send your entitled arse off to the moon.

[@resgame7367]

hi, is there a way to remap them to deep sleep the firestick since i hzve the lite?

[@warrennotestine2906]

I did everything you said but after a couple minutes all the keys went back to their original settings.

[@Kaci51604]

Same thing happens to me

[@delivered.driver]

Same. They still SAY the app I chose, but they only go to the pre-assigned ones. No matter how many times I press it, how long I press it, or how quickly back-to-back I press it. Bummer.

[@pampurrs88]

Same here. Watching this video was a waste of my time.

[@delivered.driver]

@@pampurrs88 - It’s disappointing that it didn’t work for us, but he had a solution that worked for him and he shared it. We don’t need to be rude, right? Just letting him know it didn’t work for us - and what happened instead - will hopefully help him to find alternate methods more relevant to those for whom this fix didn’t work.

[@YoliCaldwell]

Didn’t work 😭

[@jameslennon6680]

Got as far as downloading Launcher manager from your page but its not the same as the one on yourvideo. Maybe its updated but cant find Launcher options.

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

hmm interesting I need to redo this video anyways

[@gnpb]

says the installed version of launcher manager cannot be opened, please look for an update

[@168tricia]

Not able to do it any longer. Thank you for the help anyway.

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

ohh to bad

[@mrdwa7726]

Did everything like many others here said and still won’t work at all

[@johnwalker8194]

Didn't work on my new Fire Stick TV 4K+ Max remote.

[@UncleSKO]

And mine too. Found something else?

[@teodortenev5666]

This is no longer working Launcher Manager is prohibited on the FireTv

[@PCgonerogue820]

Do you it works with Roku remote? Thanks for the video

[@Rayraywheelz]

Where can I find that rubber/plastic remote cover for the firestick 4k Maxx?

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

That one’s off Amazon!

[@billowens1963]

I went through all the steps with no issue, but after I select the new app I want the button to open, it still opens the originally assigned app. I've tried clicking it multiple times, waited for the app to open and clicked it again, but still just the original app. Also made sure the app I was trying to replace was Uninstalled before assigning new app to button. Help.

[@bg307]

I cant select Launcher options , and shell is busy when I select enable custom launcher

[@IcySavage]

If i leave it disabled, will the original button functions work?

[@elpinto29]

Hello Thanks for the video, but I didn't see how the buttons are deactivated

[@sdsrsh]

I bought the new fire tv stick 4K and followed all the steps. The button I enabled and set to launch another app still launches the original app which is peacock

[@jc146268]

Launcher Manager is disabled by the firestick. The only option is to uninstall. Is there a work around for this?

[@user-iv1wt9qn8y]

I don’t have the my fire tv in settings? How do I do this without that?

[@raycoramirezvega2419]

Amazon has blocked this app, don't work

[@Premiumizer123]

I've connected fire stick remote to my Nvidia shield pro but the shortcut buttons aren't recognized by and remap app anybody no a adb code or something

[@JavierGonzalez-ot3uy]

Thanks but what can we do if it doesn't work? The custom options are set to what i want them to be but they only open the worded stock shorcuts

[@slamminx3]

Not working for me. Can’t install the launcher app. It lets me install it, but when I try to open it just takes me back to your website with the popup to install again. The app is not in my list of apps either.

[@AaronBarbee]

Super helpful!!! Thanks!!! 😊

[@jaysonphillips3120]

Ok maybe it’s just me but every time I relaunch the launcher manager thing is crashes saying that it’s not updated

[@travelingman45]

I installed it, then my TV disabled it. How do I get around that?

[@sinaebrahimi5596]

Didn't work now

[@resbuzz]

Didn't work for me.

[@tayfuncuhadar6407]

how to remap app button on fire tv remotes please

[@chipnole]

Yeah unfortunately it didn’t work for me either, the programmers at Amazon must’ve changed something⁉️ They certainly don’t want anyone messing with their software/hardware❗️

[@matthewphillips1883]

This shit doesn’t work. FireTV won’t let you install his launcher manager.

[@andrewyingst9749]

This absolutely screwed my Insignia FireTV. It didn't work, then the screen went black. I had to find a way to hard reset it and now my remote won't reconnect. DO NOT DO THIS. Any fix?

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

true

[@diptanshraj1544]

Can we cutomised any other buuton to volume button for fire tv stick lite..... Plzz do reply im in need of it to change

[@Jenna-zv6ve2sx4u]

did not work.

[@bromanheim1356]

i tried this and it opend the one launcher app amd then the laucjer options wouldnt hight and it kept saying to turn the debuger on and off it doesnt work maybe it worked with the first gen fire stick but after that didnt work for anything cause i ised to be the person that found a way around to get free movie downloads with the dowlader and amazon did put a blocker in that stuff so i dont see why they wouldnt with this guys video but still it didnt work cause also maybe you half to isntall his vpn thing to cause thats how he makes money and his app maybe be down and it migbt only work with certain gens of thjng i think he shoukd take that into account betore posting a video that is useless to anyone to me he is a fraud

[@ZippyBoy]

one time i woke up in the middle of the night with the netflix login screen at 100 volume

[@diablokicks1]

Doesn't work anymore

[@abyssqueen8247]

Doesn't work. Buttons are not remaped. I followed every steps but nothing changed. Well, I'd have tried.

[@pthalodezin]

Launcher Options is not accessible on 4k max (gen2) -waste of time

[@andylam83]

Does not work for my fire tv cube

[@Texas_Painter]

When I click Firestick Launcher Manager I get an error message saying “⚠️An unknown error has occurred. Check your URL and connection” …. 🙁

[@trishdadish21]

Same 🫤, guess he’s not gonna respond to your comment on how to get around that, or why it happens? Maybe he has another video explaining this already. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ajazqureshi4453]

Me 2. Same error.

[@Brandon_f375]

You might as well take this video down since Amazon blacklisted this app🤣

[@LilHaseProductions]

THIS DOES NOT WORK 2024

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

yes

[@Tom_Goss]

Didn't work, nothing went like the video showed. Wasted 20 minutes of my life. Thanks.

[@russhowerton1]

So much crap on his downloader page when I opened it, I couldn’t find the download I needed. Mostly click bate buttons to everything but what you want.

[@974GzInsane]

Don’t work

[@nihirafiretv]

not working. wasting of time

[@finalbag858]

what is the double press shit? i want to remap the button not have the button do exactly what i don't want it to do before it gets around to doing what I want it to do. waste of time.

[@pampurrs88]

I notice you posted this video a month ago. I have the Second Generation 4k Max, which was just released a few days ago and your method does not work. I wonder if they changed something in this new generation to prevent us from remapping the keys? I’ve already given away/thrown away all my older Fire sticks, so I have no way of testing on an older one.

[@kylie-chan]

Ya I'm in the same situation just got mine today and wanted to remap them. You would think Amazon would have this be a feature 🙄

[@BradVandrasik_music]

​@@kylie-chanAmazon doesn't support remapping because I'm sure Hulu, Disney, Netflix, etc. are paying to have their services advertised on the buttons

[@PezPerry]

Good video. Thanks for the link to your website as well. I must have watched 30 maybe 40 of your videos and didn’t know you had a website.

[@UpgradeGuyTech]

Thanks for always watching!!

[@PezPerry]

@@UpgradeGuyTech a pleasure.

[@PezPerry]

@@UpgradeGuyTech do you have a code that goes straight to your home page? I look after a few friends and families firesticks and if I can save your website on their downloader, it will help me as well.

[@dillonhopwood1199]

Nothing works, so if you wanted to use it after he explained you had to load another app first. Like wth. Trash hack.

[@siniverse]

None of this works

[@trekbiker2916]

Ridiculously fast. Was this supposed to be an instrucitonal video?

[@johncmorgan]

No it’s no longer a relevant infomercial
