Ok, I've rooted my Fire and installed the Android Market. I've installed Go Launcher, so I have the ability to use the Fire as the "Android Experience" I'm used to with other devices I have.
So what's the benefit of continuing on with installing CM7?
It seems that by installing CM7, I lose out on the Amazon services that I would still like to use. True?
One problem I had with stock roms, is Google apps. For example, I could easy enough install Android Market, Gmail, etc... But gmail would not give me notifications of new email. Maybe because I could not enable it to "sync" because the settings area is different then normal android. (Account & Sync missing)
on the stock rom we can use "any cut" from the market - in any cut select "new shortcut" -> "activity" -> "account & sync"
then you have a shortcut to account & sync on the desktop
you can try even more activities - they are nearly all there but not displayed in settings !
Another way on the stock rom is to install ICS launcher and add power widget. There you have wifi control screen brightness and sync.

You have the sync adapter correctly setup?

Hallo,
i bought yesterday a htc saphire and installed the cyanogen mod
everything works quite perfect, except that when i boot the device everytime Programs like "e-mail, Calendar, Clock, Gmail, MP3 Download" start automatically and i get an " android.process.acore don't react" error
has anybody an idea how to control this things?...
Those programs are designed to start on boot to check for changes, example "email" and "Gmail" start to check for new emails, Calander to sync your agenda and so forth. You should check the settings of each program and see if there's a way to stop them from syncing.
ok thanks
is there any way to delete these programs? i have never used "gmail" or "mp3 downloads" and i'am sure that i will never use this service....
You should be able to remove them like any other app using "Settings:Applications:Manage Applications"
I take no responsibility if removing a specific app breaks something
Not sure why anybody would want an Android phone with the Google integration though. It's the whole point of the thing, in my opinion. To each their own, I guess.
i have got a great imap email witch my own domain.. so i don't need/want gmail
but other google services like "google maps" and the "google calendar" are great...
and there's no option to delete/uninstall this apps unter "Settings:Applications:Manage Applications"..
I Am about to receive my transformer, and inevitably my wife will want to use it too
Is there an effective way to have two gmail accounts set up on a Honeycomb tablet so you can switch users easily? I understand that both email accounts can be set up in the Gmail app, but I am more interested in all of the other GIntegration on the tablet (apps from market, calendaring, logins to other apps/accounts we both have eg twitter).
You can use both google accounts in just about everything (incl. the Market), but it doesn't have any way to handle separate users in other apps.
I have bought a Transformer that I am going to give to my wife when I have goten the sleeve.
I have tryed to optimise it and during that prosess I have purchased some applications, when I was going to buy the apps I added my own Google account (due to the fact that I thought card information got stoored along with the Google account on Android Market)
But now when I see under "My Apps" some are stored under my acount and some are stored under her account.
When I give the TF to her I will remove my account form the unit, what will then happen to the apps that are listed under my account in "My Apps"?
Thinking, will they be uninstalled, will they be transfered to her account so that she get notifications regarding updates and so on?
To keep it abit more clean I like to separate questions into different posts (Mod can merge posts if this is not accepted)
I got both my wife's and mie google account added to the TF (for the time being (see post #3)
Google Maps is a standard app that comes with the TF, on her account (in My Apps on the TF) it shows as "Installed", in my account (My Apps on the TF) it shows as "Not installed"
When trying to install it it jumps to the top of the list under "Downloading..." for a brief second before it jumpes down again under "Not installed"
Thumb Keyboard is allso listed under "Not installed" in on my account (My Apps on the TF), this one is not showing up in her "My Apps" and the same thing happens if I try to install this one as happens with the app above.
Another thing that is wierd is that some of the apps have disapared from the "My Apps" on the Transformer, but they do show on our accounts when logged inn on Android Market on the web.
On the Transformer this is showing under our "My Apps":

I've done this on my xoom at work (So I could get my spectral souls and thumb keyboard on it). When you remove the account, the apps are NOT uninstalled its only you can't upgrade them anymore. They do not show up in the "My Apps" section, so to update you either have to re-add an account that has it purchased or purchase it with the account on the device.
Thanks for Your answer.
I will just have to check if an update is needed every now and then.
If I understand You correctly then if an app is not in the "My Apps" section (assuming we are talking about the section on Transformer itselfe) then we will not get an notification that there are new updates for that app.
Why have several of the apps I have installed disapared from the "My Apps" section? As one can see from the listing in my post above when I go tot he website version of Android Market more apps are showing there
Allso I have NVIDIA Tegra Zone installed but that dont show in "My Apps" or in the web version of the market. But I find it if I go to "Apps" in the top right and then go to [My apps] (Not to be mistaken for the "My Apps" that is located in the top right screen of Android Market when accessing it via the TF)
Rooted 6.2.2: I have the FB app installed from the market. Is there a way to have the contacts sync with FB like on the phone? Is there a FB contact sync adapter similar to the googlecontacts and calendar sync adapters? I have those currently working.
Thanks
When I installed it the app asked me if I wanted to sync on first run.
Check under settings>accounts & sync. There should be a setting for it there. (there is in mine)

In the FB app I don't have a accounts & sync option. In the sync settings for the Fire there are no settings for FB, only google.
Have you tried removing it and re-installing? When I first ran it after installation it gave me 3 options for syncing... all FB contacts, existing contacts, or none.
Either something didn't install right, or 6.2.2 is blocking a component. I'm running the ICS ROM, and it worked with CM7 as well.

Thanks for the reply. I uninstalled the app, the fb app does not show up for me in either the market or Amazon market. I think when I installed it before I had backed up and sideloaded it from my phone.
Any suggestions?
If you sideloaded it is it still in the /sdcard directory so you can install it again? Or did you delete it afterwards?

Good thinking....I installed it again but it never asked about any syncing options.
If you are on stock its a no go as far as I know. Maybe if you installed account and sync settings but then you a, do not have the actual UI for the settings and b, the contacts app on stock is not the same app used on standard Android devices so neither the settings or the Facebook app you sideloaded will know how to talk to the amazon contacts app. I tried doing this also but then decided to go over to cm7,

Gotcha, and GO FLYERS
I am on the stock rom, and do have the sync settings app installed. There are settings there for google contacts and calender syc because I installed those two sync adapters to /system/app and changed the permissions. I thought maybe there was a similar sync adapter for facebook....but there is probably more to it.
No biggie.....thanks for the reply.
I need a basic calender that has notification alarms that does not require any type of sync to the internet. Also an app to take notes with no internet sync required. I use my phone on wifi only, no data plan. Is there an app that allows usb sync to my laptop that is more user friendly than the Motorola one?
I just switched to this phone from a Palm Treo 650. I had no data plan with it. Everything could be done without the internet. I do watch movies, read books, listened to music and stored alot of information on it. So far I am pleased with the Milestone, I am just one of those individuals that does not feel the need to be constantly connected to the internet with a phone. By the way the phone is not yet rooted. Not sure if I will need to do this. Keeping the above requirements in mind, if I do decide to root, which one do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think the calendar app that comes preinstalled can be used in that way, just go to Settings -> Accounts -> set "Auto-sync" on (if it's not already checked) -> click on the option with your Google Account -> Touch the 'Sync Calendar' option to turn off synchronization. If you want no sync at all from Google Services, turn off 'Background data' and Auto-sync. If you really want another app, there's in the Market an app named "Offline Calendar', but I'm not sure if it has the features you want (I didn't test it, but it looks like it does what you want).
About the app to take notes, there are many apps in Android Market that do what you want, just search for 'Notes' and choose one, I think they all work offline
About the usb sync, I can't help you, because I use my Google account to do it
And probably you won't need root to use any of the apps you asked about in this thread.
for the calendar you can use the google one and deactivate the sync in accounts.
for the note you can use gtask that can be sync or not with google task as you want
Can't edit or delete subscribed calendars because there's no "accounts" in settings
I have the Fire HD8 8th gen Kindle. Running stock Fire OS 6.3.0.1
I do have the Google Play Store and Services added, and running the Launcher Hijack to use the Nova Launcher. But my question is about something else.
I am running the BlackBerry Hub+ Suite for Android, or some of them - the email Inbox, Calendar, Contacts and Notes. Running those includes running the Hub+ Services app which handles all the account syncing with the apps. I'm running all these same apps on my Galaxy S9, which leads to my question about the Fire tablet.
I have several subscribed online calendars that I added on the tablet, and on the S9. They are game schedules for LSU football and baseball games that I have syncing to the calendar apps on both devices. I can add them using the subscribed calendar options within the BB Calendar app. They are then in the system and I can even include those calendar accounts in my Simple Calendar Widget app to show on the Nova Launcher home screen. The problem is that while the account can be added from the calendar app, it does not manage them afterward. Not in the way that the Inbox app manages email accounts, including EAS accounts with their own calendars.
Under normal android, there is an "Accounts" section in settings. I have this on my S9. Also on my old Kindle Fire 1st gen that I rooted and installed the SlimLP (Lollipop) Rom on. But the Fire OS has no such section in Settings. There is a "My Account" section, but that only leads you to the Amazon account settings page. There is no overall list of accounts that can be accessed in the Fire OS. So, I can't change or delete the subscribed calendar. LSU only adds each new season with a new year in the address, so you have to change the address for each new season, or in the case of the HD8, I have to add a new calendar account and just disable the view of the previous season since I can change or delete it like I can on the S9.
All this leads to question, is there an app that I can install that will give me that same access to all syncing accounts that the "Accounts" section in Settings would normally give me? I've searched Google Play store, but can't seem to find the right thing. iCalSync is close. It can create and add the same kind of subscribed calendar account, and edit or delete it later, but it can't see existing accounts created outside of that app.
Is there anything out there that can do what I'm asking?
I really don't want to root the HD8 - just yet. Maybe when I replace it, but not now.
I had the same issue. You can use ADB or download an "activity launcher" app to launch the "com.android.settings.Settings$UserAndAccountDashboardActivity" from the Settings app. When using ADB, make sure to escape the dollar sign:
Code:
adb shell am start -n 'com.android.settings/.Settings\$UserAndAccountDashboardActivity'

Well, the adb command didn't work, but the "activity launcher" suggestion did. I found the sub section of Settings that had the User Accounts, and it all showed up. I was able to delete the problem accounts.
Thanks.
