FireTV 2: Is USB Debugging required for Home-detection via ADB? #31

Closed RoxKilly closed 8 years ago

RoxKilly commented 8 years ago

On FireTV 2, have you guys had trouble with FireStarter v3.2.1 when you try to enable home button press detection via ADB? Actually this option is enabled by default I think, but I had to disable it (Open FireStarter > Settings > Home-detection via ADB).

Enabling this generates several errors unless I also enable USB Debugging in FireTV Settings > System > Developer Options. Problem is, enabling USB Debugging causes USB accessories (keyboard) to stop working so I'm in a catch 22 (ADB debugging is already enabled).

Hi @RoxKilly , you are right, if you want to use the home detection via ADB you have to enable ADB in the settings but enabling "ADB-Debugging" should suffice, "USB-Debugging" can stay disabled (checked it a second ago). Anyway, the alternative home detection without ADB is not that bad, you can also try this one.

Best regards Lukas

Thanks @sphinx02 . I no longer observe the issue (Home-detection over ADB works even with USB Debugging off). There was an issue though; if I can reproduce it in the future I will update this thread.
