There are several reasons why Firestick users love Stremio. This app is a little different than most as it requires signing up for service.

Firestick Apps for Miscellaneous Utilities
Mouse Toggle
Some of the applications that you side-load onto your Firestick or Fire TV won’t work well with the remote control.
The reason for this is that many of these Android applications are designed for phones and tablets, not televisions.
The Mouse Toggle app will allow us to use a virtual mouse on the Firestick, Fire TV, or Fire TV Cube. This is a must-have utility if you are going to jailbreak a Firestick or Fire TV.

MX Player

Another added bonus of MX Player is its ability to integrate Subtitles. See our full MX Player tutorial below.

What is a Firestick Jailbreak?
Jailbreak is the process of removing restrictions imposed by the manufacturer to allow for the installation of unauthorized software.
When we do this, we can install 3rd party applications not available within the Amazon App Store.
Once we jailbreak a Firestick, we can sideload applications onto the device that we normally can’t get through the major app stores.
By doing so, your Firestick will have access to thousands of free movies, TV shows, live channels, sports, and more.
These apps are oftentimes referred to as “jailbroken apps” which we can easily install on our device.
Best Apps for Jailbroken Firestick
This is a safe process and only involves changing a few security settings on the Firestick or Fire TV.
This is possible on Fire TV devices due to the fact that they are running on the Android operating system.
What Stores Carry Firesticks?
The Amazon Firestick has become the most popular Streaming Device available today due to its low price and simple jailbreak process.
If you don’t own a Fire TV Stick and you want to get started with this tutorial today, we have you covered.
Below are some retail stores that may carry this device.
Best Buy, Staples, Target, Fry’s, Radio Shack, GameStop, B and H, Amazon Books, Electronic Express, Shopko, Toys R Us, Sears, P.C. Richard & Son, Meijer, HH Gregg, Fred Meyer.
If you don’t have one of these stores near, you may purchase the Firestick directly through the Amazon website which provides fast shipping.
Or, if you are looking for a completely hands-free experience, you may want to consider jailbreaking the Amazon Fire TV Cube.
The Fire TV Cube has the same capabilities as the Firestick but with some added features.
This includes a built-in speaker, 16 GB of storage, and far-field voice control.
Is it legal to Jailbreak Firestick?
The short answer is Yes, Jailbreaking a firestick is 100% legal. This is a question we receive on a daily basis.
While jailbreaking became a popular term for Android mobile and iOS devices, the process for a Firestick is different.
By enabling apps from unknown sources within settings, we are simply allowing for the installation of 3rd party apps (APKs) that have not been vetted by Amazon.
While installing these apps is not in any way illegal, streaming some of the content within these is.
That is why it is important to only use these applications for Movies and TV Shows that are available in the public domain.
History of Jailbreaking a Firestick
The Firestick comes equipped with the Amazon App Store, which allows us to install applications easily onto our streaming device.
Each of the applications within this App Store must be approved by Amazon.
Some popular apps available in the Amazon App Store include HBO Max, Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus, Downloader, and more.
Since the Fire TV Stick was first released in 2014, Amazon has taken a strong stance against applications that promote free and low-cost streaming capabilities.
The most notable ban was in June of 2015 when they removed the popular Kodi media center application from their app store.
When Kodi was removed from the Amazon App store, users started jailbreaking their Firesticks so that they could still install this popular application.
This opened the flood-gates for many other free and low-cost streaming applications that could be installed as well after enabling apps from unknown sources on the Fire TV devices.
Most people don’t realize that the Amazon Fire TV Stick is powered by the Android operating system.
This differs from other popular streaming devices such as the Roku and Apple TV which use their own operating system. Therefore, you can’t jailbreak a Roku device.
Roku vs Firestick – Why You Shouldn’t Buy a Roku
Since the Firestick is powered by the Android operating system, it opens up a world of endless possibilities for those who jailbreak it.
Android is the most popular operating system in the world to date, with over two billion active users.
Because of this popularity, there are literally millions of Android applications available that can all be installed onto a Firestick.
These Android applications are often referred to as APKs and can provide users with tons of free content.
Overall, this guide has covered everything you need to jailbreak Firestick.
Simply enable apps from unknown sources and enjoy your improved streaming experience!
