The method described in the wiki is great but it effectively locks you out of the firetv home screen once xbmc has been started. My ideal setup is launch xbmc on boot with llama or autopilot, pressing home button launches xbmc, but if i exit xbmc manually the firetv home remains running. Is this possible without root?
If you follow the wiki guide for llama, skip Event 3 (or disable it) and do the optional Event 4.
With this setup, the home button still takes you back to the Amazon launcher.
If you exit XBMC from the menu, it just restarts itself, since llama isn't able to kill whatever surrogate app you launch. (This also keeps XBMC power-save from working)
