I am having same issue anyone get this to work ok? Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Hi team, any news on that? I have the same issue with the actual version. Or can anyone tell me, where the binaries of FiredTV are located, so I can overwrite the "wallpaper.png" with annother background?

Same exact problem. No matter what URL I input, it'll hang up on the "Downloading Wallpaper..." .gif

I will definitely buy you beer(s) once this is fixed!

Same problem here.

Quick fix for the end-users is to run

touch /data/data/com.altusapps.firedtvlauncher/files/wallpaper.png

as a root. That assumes you have rooted device.

Otherwise SettingsActivity.OnCreate needs to be fixed to use a different function instead of Settings.GetWallpaperFilename that returns the same thing, but even when the file is not present.

A separate problem is that when download fails for whatever reason, the "Downloading Wallpaper..." stays on screen. This is because the app is trying to display a toast in a wrong thread. This call needs to be wrapped in RunOnUiThread.
