If you’re like most, you use your Fire TV primarily for a few key features. That leaves a lot of unused menu items cluttering up your home screen. Whether you just want to remove one or two items, or strip out all but a few options, an XDA Developers community member by the name of rbox is your savior. He’s developed a collection of Xposed mods which, among other things, adds an option in the Fire TV’s settings section to toggle menu items on and off. Read on for our full guide to setting up the mod.

Your Fire TV must be rooted and on software version 51.1.1.0, 51.1.3.0, or 51.1.4.0 in order to use this mod. You will also need a mouse connected to your Fire TV for one of the steps. The mod relies on the Xposed framework. We’ll first show you how to install Xposed, then install the mod, and then configure the mod. If you already have Xposed installed on your Fire TV (from when you installed the Google Play Store perhaps) you can skip the first section in this guide.

This mod allows you to turn on/off any home screen menu item except “Home” and “Settings”. The mod also includes a few other helpful changes, like the ability to open Android’s recent apps menu by long pressing the home button on your Fire TV remote. To read up on everything included in this mod, visit the mod’s XDA post.
