Second, I am wondering where the skin.confluence/720/Home.xml file is on the Fire. I am used to customizing the Home.xml file so the Videos button goes right to Files on my ATV. I'd like to do the same on the Fire but I'm unsure where on the Fire to push my Home.xml file. On the ATV is was /private/var/stash/Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/addons/skin.confluence/720p
Can anyone provide some guidance here? Thanks in advance.

Once you get things set up, I'd recommend making a backup (to your PC if possible). It makes it much easier to find files you want to edit. All files should be in /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc .
Thanks everybody for the great work on this. One of the main reasons I got a Fire TV.

LOL!
Go ahead and laugh, if it pleases you. As someone new to XBMC and Fire TV. a picture with direction is worth a thousand words. The wiki is great for people who have a working knowledge of XBMC but lacks coherent information to anyone new to the platform.
