Kodi on FireStick & Chromecast, etc
There are things like https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX but you’ll have to look for a solution tailored towards your generation of Firestick and OS since Amazon likes to fiddle around with things and make users’ lifes more difficult instead of easier.

I get the SAME damn recommendations all the time
I use FTVLaunchX and ATV Launcher Pro on my Android TV device. Just install those two apps and enable the accessibility service for LaunchX.

Agreed, I have a few Fire Sticks and I've had to disable autoupdates on them because Amazon proactively targets apps that customize functionality, eg. https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX/issues/4

Is it possible to run apps in the background on the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme? Specifically wanting to use Spotify. It works great, very good sounding and and loud music, but it closes out when I hit the END key, so I have to keep the app open on the screen to listen to music, which is not ideal.
Nice. I'm just using APK websites. Suggestion about the mouse though, get this one. https://github.com/virresh/matvt/releases/download/phone-v1.03/matvt-v1.0.3-phone-app-release.apk I find it to work better
