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.

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.
I believe this is still an issue with 0.12
