+OpenWRT reghack

+
+With the reghack_ tool you will be able to have your wifi card run on it's
+full potential without all the pesky regulations requiring you to send on a
+lower tx power. 
+
+Of course you may only do this in a metal chamber in your lab for testing purposes.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+  
+    cd /tmp/
+    wget http://luci.subsignal.org/~jow/reghack/reghack.mips.elf
+    chmod +x reghack.mips.elf
+    ./reghack.mips.elf /lib/modules/*/ath.ko
+    ./reghack.mips.elf /lib/modules/*/cfg80211.ko
+    reboot
+    # use US country for all wifi cards
+    # txpower=30 should work now
+    uci set wireless.@wifi-device[0].country=US
+    uci set wireless.@wifi-device[0].txpower=30

+XBMC on Firetv
+###############
+:date: 2015-01-04 06:09
+:tags: firetv, sideloading, xbmc
+
+I was somewhat disappointed from plex performance and functionality so i looked
+for a way to get XBMC(kodi, but whatever) on my amazon firetv.
+
+This blog post is essentially a digest from the original xbmc-wiki-page_ and if
+something is not like you want it you may want to look there.
+
+It will describe how to get xbmc running on the firetv and make it autostart,
+as well as have a shortcut on the FTV home screen without removing original
+functionality.
+
+Installing XBMC
+---------------
+
+1. ``FTV -> Settings -> System -> Dev Options -> Enable ADB Debugging and Unknown Apps``
+2. Side-load the apps we will need:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+  
+    # i have not tried SBMC but it looks promising: http://spmc.semperpax.com/
+    # we will drive vanilla xbmc
+    wget http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/kodi-14.0-Helix-armeabi-v7a.apk
+
+    # llama will help us configuring to run xbmc via another FVT app
+    # it can do so much more, which is quite impressive
+    # http://kebabapps.blogspot.de/
+    wget http://some-link/llama.apk
+
+    # autoPilot will permit to run xbmc on startup
+    wget http://diegomejia.globat.com/android/AutoPilot.apk
+    adb server
+    adb connect <firetv-ip>
+    adb install kodi-14.0-Helix-armeabi-v7a.apk
+    adb install llama.apk
+    adb install AutoPilot.apk
+    
+    # we will abuse IkonoTV for starting XBMC instead via llama
+    FTV -> Apps -> Education -> ikono TV (WATCH ART)
+
+
+Configuring autostart
+---------------------
+
+1. run XBMC on startup:
+
+::
+
+   FTV -> Settings -> Apps -> All installed Apps -> AutoPilot
+   Choose *Kodi* for Autostart Application.
+
+2. run XBMC via Short-Cut
+
+::
+
+   FTV -> Settings -> Apps -> All -> llama
+   Rules -> (+)-Sign 
+     -> add Condition -> Active Application -> ikono TV
+     -> add Event     -> Start Application  -> kodi
+
+Reboot and see if everything is working. If you want to integrate xbmc even
+more, check the wiki page on the top.
