 Description   

Version on the title screen claims to be "0.11.1 alpha".

It is not possible to choose a "custom" skin on the Amazon Fire TV. The option can highlighted, it changes to the word "Browse" but cannot be selected. It is therefore only currently possible to choose Alex, Steve or the City/Town folk skins.

Even when a skin was "side loaded" to:

~/games/com.mojang/minecraftpe/custom.png

The skin was rendered but could not be selected.

Still affects 1.0.

Comment by gatharian [ 26/Oct/16 ]

Does this bug affect 0.16.0? If so please respond.

Comment by Galaxy_2Alex [ 27/Sep/16 ]

Seems to be still an issue for some people in 0.15.9, see MCPE-17283.

Changed reporter to person who has the issue on the duplicated issue.

Just attempted to load in custom skin but got the same problem as above.... Latest version of Minecraft installed V0.15.9
Also when attempting to change gamertag name you have the same issue - when you press the button to select it doesn't work.

Fixed in 0.15 update. Many thanks.

Comment by Mark McLaren [ 07/Apr/16 ]

Sadly, yes. If you hover over the "Custom" skin, the word changes to "Browse", if you attempt to select it (pressing A on the controller) then the grey rectangle cursor highlights Alex/Steve or whatever skin pack you last selected a skin from.

Please confirm if this issue still affects 0.14.1

Comment by Mark McLaren [ 02/Jan/16 ]

Still affects 0.13.1 alpha

Issue still occurs in Amazon Fire TV.
Skin menus are not fully operational.

Comment by Mark McLaren [ 16/Sep/15 ]
