Motivation & Overview
Currently, running CleanYourTV on Amazon Fire TV sticks either relies on
HomeKeyServiceaccessibility redirection (which introduces latency and visual stutter) or runs into runtime crashes on older Fire OS devices (Fire OS 6 / Android 7.1).This PR introduces compatibility fixes, boot optimizations, and complete system settings routing verified across two hardware generations:
