Simple question that I have. Should I use XBMC android ARM 13.1 or elmerohueso's modified package of XBMC 13.1?
I'm using elmerohueso's package along with the Xposed app and plugin so the FTV boots to XBMC and it adds the Android Power Options screensaver to put the FTV to sleep when not in use. You can still add quick access to the FTV Launcher to XBMC, if you want to use Amazon services and other apps.
If your going to use the various Amazon and other apps on the FTV a lot, then it might be better to use the official XMBC and add it as an icon on the FTV Launcher menu and launch XBMC when needed.
How do I add it as an icon?
From the Wiki "4 Launch XBMC from an Existing App on the FTV Home Screen" (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Amazon_Fire_TV). In all honesty this will not give you the best XBMC experience. Using elmerohueso's XBMC Launcher, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthre...?t=2790392, is the best thing to happen to the Fire TV while still having access to Amazon content.
