Off-Topic Help - Kindle Fire General

I need help knowing if my KF is worth selling. I plan to sale this KF for $120 to buy a SONY™ Ericcson XPERIA Play™. Do you guys think this good enough to sell for? I am not sure if theres a better phone that I can buy with that money. Really like that phone and want to know XDA opinions. A person offered me a deal for the Play in $100. If I sell it then I get the Play, do you guys think its worth the money and the KF?

I've been trying out xposed framework http://goo.gl/NNwZ9 and I love it. But lately it kills my system. I install it and activate and reboot, but it stays at boot animation and never boots into the os. I have to reinstall... Any idea what to do? I'm running TWA's cm10.1 4.2.2 ROM and cm9 as alt boot. Twrp 4.2.3 & fff 1.4.1.

Sorry. Didn't mean to get you mad. I believe it might be the framework as it might not be updated or the fact of you dual booting. I can't be sure, though.

I always thought there were issues with ICS or higher dualboot ROMs for the fire?

Would love xposed to work, but I love dual boot even more...

Can someone send me a link to the xposed framework.

Just make a backup and try it, if something isn't right afterward just restore your backup.
Thanks for the link, I flashed it and do notice some improvement
Tried to flash this on my stock 6.2.2 KF and was unsuccessful. Is it only compatible with cooked gingerbread ROMs? Thx for your help in advance.

Sounds interesting. I always thought it was a marketing gimmick. Did it work on ICS too?
Not sure how people are making this work for KF. Tried several times through twrp and it didn't install. Did the manual push, which lead to my device getting bricked. I think I'm gonna stay away for now till the kinks get ironed out unless anyone with a KF can help me successfully install.

Yes. I believe the thread said it was for Gingerbread only, but some ICS folks had luck. I do not think there was any talk of the stock KF firmware, nor was it designed to install correctly on that firmware.
On a side note, it does not really install correctly on anything, must people just thought they heard a difference unless they went through the manual installation process.

Yeah when I read the original thread, it just listed GB ROMs as compatible and so it installed fine on my infuse 4G. Since I already was running voodoo sound on my infuse, couldn't be sure on whether the sound is really all the way different, but some songs and their bass sound a little clearer than before.

I need help?

I just flashed my N10 with Custom ROM CM10.1 but I realized I don't like it that much.
My N10 is rooted, and I do not know how to roll back to the stock rom because I forget to do a full backup. Please help, im running on 4.2.2
Thank you! I just want to roll back
Tim
Google search for factory image for Nexus 10. Or install a stock rooted 4.2.2 ROM from the development section, or try out other ROMs and see if you like them better.
I dont really understand though how you dont like CM10.1, it is the same as stock but with a couple more features and bugfixes. What could you possibly not like about it?
Just check out the sticky threads on the nexus 10 general forum. They have a thread with stock roms.
However my suggestion would be to try out more custom roms. They too are available on a sticky thread. Specially the vanilla rootbox one which is working great for me.

Try using carbon ROM and Trinity kernel I have that set up on my N10 and my N4 and both devices smoke man they are fast as hell....try rasbean too all of this is in the nexus 10 original development section ......if your looking for close to stock as possible try mmuzzy ROM its stock with performance enhancements ....don't fret man that's the best part flashing different ROMs and kernels to suit you best man :cyclops:
I suggest using AOKP Pub with the Trinity Kernel. Awesome combination, super smooth, good battery life and nice performance - plus a ton of options for customization

Take a deep breath man. When I saw this thread I thought you dropped it in the toilet or something. LOL Not a big deal, it is easy to go back. If your head is spinning because of all the different options available in CM play around with it for a few days, it will grow on you.

Well, the reason I do not like about the CM10.1 and most custom ROMs is that it doesnt support google play store and also it lacks the google pinyin(input method)which comes default on the nexus 10 and the google pinyin i download on the official site is way different than the default built-in one.

Nobody would use custom ROMs if they couldn't use the play store also you can pull the pinyin apk and install it to any custom rom

Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Then you have a corrupt download or something weird. Most ROM's need to flash a gapps package after the ROM gets flashed so you have the official Google apps like the play store. There are one or two ROMs with these apps built in but the "proper" way is to separate the apps into the different installs. Though if you use a ROM with an Aroma installer, I have always seen gapps get flashed as a part of that. Mr.Robinson's AOKP PUB is a good example of that.
Also in regards to pinyin you would have to flash to stock/rooted use something like es file explorer goto /system/apps copy the pinyin apk to your normal storage(virtual sdcard) then you can flash whatever you want and copy that apk back to /system/app set permissions to read write read read and maybe reboot. You should then have the one you want working.

There's something else going on, uninstalling Apollo shouldn't do that.
Restore your previous set up and save flashing stuff for another day, you seem to be encountering a lot of issues today.

OK I got paranoid android on my phone and kinda liking it but how do I resize widget like I could in cm - I was able to resize them however I wanted and on this its like stock that widgets can't do that
Research more, flash less for a while.
Apollo is part of CM itself and NOT in the GAPPs package. I delete it and have no issues doing so (I delete it BEFORE flashing the ROM)

Don't try to blame Android for your technical incompetence.
Before wiping everything out you could simply try to reflash cm10.1 dirty.

[GUIDE] How to get Tablet UI on KitKat

Hello guys,
I have seen many people request tablet UI on the kitkat rom pages (sgt7 and fuzz). Here is a guide top do so, so that you do not big the devs who are constantly working
THIS DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE
Step 1) Have xposed framework installed.
Step 2) Go to the downloads and scroll down till you see tablet ui.
Step 3) Download and install
Step 4) Reboot and enjoy!!!
If this worked for you, press the thanks button!!
Here are screenshots
Here is where I found it
OK, so I installed the framework (it wouldn't run correctly until I disabled "respect CM settings for root" in SuperSU settings, FYI), and downloaded the module as well as tick the box to enable it. Everything is installed and running, yet I have no tabletUI. :/
My guess is that I have to use a certain launcher, or that said launcher must have default settings? I'm using Nova Launcher and wonder if that's why it isn't working. What launcher are you using, OP?
I'm using trebuchet but the launcher does not matter. It's a part of the system ui.
I'm actually on Fuzz's cm 11 and I do have plans to change to sgt7. I tested it and found it to be quite smooth.

So there's a decent chance this doesn't work on the rom that came from the thread where you linked to this.
If anyone manages to get it working on sgt7, post here!
Now according to every thread with tablet ui mods and questions, Google has officially removed tablet support from 4.4. So how you got this to work is blowing my mind.

ive tried this on Hash's CM11 for KFHD, doesnt work, found out Android took out the Source code for TabletUI and and wont be implementing it in future updates. PA wont be including it in their ROM's also. unless someones willing to rewrite the code into kitkat, it wont be possible(yet).
It shouldn't work on CM11 BC the System UI Framework is different than CM10.2. This uses CM10.2 Framework. Do not use unless below CM10.2

Perhaps you could make a backup (after you wiped everything personal) and send it to the devs so they could try adding it to the roms.

That's exactly what I wish for. Only on a Nook HD+. But if there's no user interface in the Tablet UI module, you can't swap the Nav and Status section left to right. True?
It really doesn't matter. I can't get it to work anyway. :crying:

[FLASHABLE ZIP] Google Gapps + Amazon AppShop - HDX 7", 8.9" (Thor, Apollo)

BE SURE TO PLAY ON A SAFESTRAP ROM
Here is how to "easily" install Google Apps (gapps) on our HDX devices (tested on 7", should work on 8.9").
This procedure will keep all amazon app services working, thanks to an Xposed module.
Installation
Root your device
Install Xposed Framework + my xposed module "HDXPosed"
Copy thor-gapps-installer-1.zip to sdcard
Flash thor-gapps-installer-1.zip from safestrap recovery
Informations
thor-gapps-installer-*.zip is just stock jb gapps with "welcomescreen.apk" removed and stock launcher added if needed
all work is done in HDXPosed module, more information on the HDXPosed thread
Download

Oups, forget to specifiy that i have the 7" model ...
Dunno, the main and most work is in the "services.odex" file, so maybe it's the same on both devices ! Is safestrap available on the 8.9 ? If there is a way to recover from "system" tricks then i could find the time to recompile this file for you guys.

Hi,
after a lot of work this night i finally got everything up and working including working play store downloads !
Here is a simple howto, i'm sure confirmed users won't have problems to get it working, and for other i'm sure there will be other howto in the next few days
BE SURE TO WORK ON A SAFESTRAP ROM
So here we go !
Start from a stock, clean backup
Remove a few system apps (amazon mp3, slik browser...) to free space on system partition for gapps else it won't completely install
Install gapps from recovery : gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
Remove "/system/app/SetupWizard.apk" to bypass gapps welcome screen as it depends on stock "Settings.apk"
Remove "/system/app/MarketIntentProxy_1010.apk" (not sure if needed)
Replace "/system/framework/services.odex" with this one (recompiled with signature check disabled) : services.odex
Remove "/system/app/DownloadProvider.apk"
Remove "/system/app/DownloadProvider.odex"

Update google play games services to version 4.0.34 (not sure if needed anymore as it will probably be downloaded from playstore)
If you get some fc, try clearing cache and dalvik cache. I will maybe try to build a custom rom from that but time will probably miss me !
I'm sure that confirmed hackers here will get it working with the provided files and write a better howto soon
Enjoy and merry Christmas !

You sir are a genius! Thanks so much for giving us the access to the play store for downloads. It's a christmas miracle! I can verify that this does indeed work on the 7" HDX.

Edit: I somehow got into a boot loop. After I downloaded some updates, it restarted automatically to the kindle fire loading screen, then to the updating apps screen, then back to the Kindle Fire loading screen and kept on doing this. I had to hard reboot to get it to stop. Followed your instructions to a T. Any ideas? I did try to clear the cache and dalvik cache, but that did not help.

You mean you was able to download some updates from the market then boot loop ? After the hard reset is it working? I didn't had a lot of time to play with it but didn't had a problem yet. I may have done other tweeks that i forget but don't think so. I know i did "chmod 777 /data/dalvik-cache" as i think there was some permissions problem there but tougth it was not the case. Maybe it is..
A complete logcat output could help.
I have to go but will come back in a few hours to help..

Yep, after downloading some app updates from the google play market, it automatically restarted and looped. After the hard reset it did not work. I reverted back to my stock backup for the time being. I tried fixing permissions in Safestrap, but that did not work either. I wonder if others are having this problem.
I think there is not a lot of others as it's the first hack out there that (should) works !

Yeah, would be nice if someone can put the necessary files and commands into a flashable zip file.

I didn't had the time yet and so wanted to share the informations as soon as possible. But I'll restart from stock and make a flashable zip if I can in a few hours.

Sounds good. Make it as easy as possible for future users.
Cap this is a great effort on your part. However, is it possible to make it dummy proof? Shorter version, etc?

Cpasjuste, what launcher are you using that you have the ability to change the wallpaper?

Apex launcher, but it does nothing without the wallpaper fix, look at the last messages of other gapps threads in this forum you'll find a link from me.

I think what he means is to make a flashable zip, which you already mentioned earlier.

Currently uploading the flashable zip !
One problem with it tough, gmail is not working anymore, something to do with the sync service ... while it work fine on my initial rom ! Can't understand but will probably find later ... in the meanwhile it can be used to test play store.
