[Q] Disable notification sound when usb cable is plugged in?

Currently on Litening 2.1 ROM, just want to disable the notification tone when the USB cable is plugged in to the phone. Anyone know how to do this?

I would be interested in this too

automatic or with a widget?

same issue here, would gladly hear how to remove it

Only if your SGS2 is rooted:
With Root explorer, adb or Android Commander:
Go to system -> media -> ui, then rename the file Charger_connection.ogg to Charger_connection.ogg.bak (or delete it)

No Root, No Cable Kindle Fire Market Access

Here is the simplest way I have found to get market apps on the kindle fire without a usb cable or rooting.
1, Turn on "Allow Installation of Applications From Unknown Sources" in the Settings > Device menu.
2. Install the app from the market on an android device with access to the market.
3. Back up the app using Astro or ES File Explorer.
4. Turn on WiFi File Explorer on the device with market access.
5. Browse to the file explorer web url provided by WiFi File Explorer then find and download the backup copy of the .apk file which should be in the backups/apps/ directory.
6. After the file is finished downloading you should be able to open it from the status bar notification and begin the installation.
Not all applications will be compatible with the Fire, but I have had success with most of the apps I have tried. I was even able to print from the fire by sideloading the Brother iPrint&Scan app like this.
I am extremely pleased that Amazon has kept this device so open.
Let me know if someone has an easier way to locate the raw .apk files.

I may try this with weather bug. So far I have been unsuccessful in installing ot on my fire.

Lockscreen on stock rooted kindle fire

I installed go locker since I don't like the stock kindle lock screen but when I press the power button to go out of sleep I see the kindle lock screen. When I unlock that I see the go locker one
Is there any way I can get just the go locker
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

U can install go locker.Apk, then use es file explorer(free) or root explorer (paid) to go to data/app, find the go locker Icon with a name, probably something like com. Whatever.
Then long press on it and press move. At this point activate root function on es file explorer, and mount system as read/write.
In root explorer press the r /o at the top.
Then go to system /app then paste the go locker.apk

Forget my above post
This is the better version :
Must be rooted and have market (sideloading works well too)
1. Download No lock from the Google Play Store.
2. Using Root Explorer or Es File Explorer go to data/app and find No Lock (It will probably be listed as com.pname. something. Just look for the No Lock Icon.)
3. Long press it and move to system/app and paste it there.
4. Reboot your Kindle Fire
5. Now download Go Locker from the Play Store but it probably won't be compatible so I will link the latest version for you at the end of this post.
6. Go back to No lock and turn off the lock (you can test it out by putting your kindle to sleep).
7. In the Google Play Store search for a go locker theme (I recommend the ICS one) and download it.
8. I am assuming you already have Go Launcher installed. Go to Go Launcher. Press the menu button, then switch to plugins tab and tap Go Locker, select a theme, apply it, and then you're good to go.
We Are Done!
Since I have less than 80 posts (I believe this os my third) I cannot link the video or the go locker Apk direct download link. Sorry. Hope you understand.
I 'll try something. Copy the links and backspace the spaces or something.

Thanks it worked but however it's not nice because the menu button and back button bar appears and makes it quite ugly.
Good Job and if you can, tell me how to remove that bar in the lockscreen.

Google Play Apps

Hey guys. So I managed to root my Kindle Fire version 7.2.3. I Installed the Android Market and upgraded to Google Play Store. I started downloading apps, like Firefox and Opera, games, etc. Now, when I go to the apps menu on my Kindle, I only see the apps downloaded from the Amazon appstore... Opera, Firefox and the other games are nowhere to be seen... If I drag down the settings, I can see in my notifications that the apps were installed, and I can launch them from there, but that's it.. I can also launch them from ES FIle Explorer, but that's annoying... How can I make it so that all the content downloaded from the gplay store appears in the app section of my kindle?

Install a different launcher like Apex, Go Launcher, Nova etc. It will then look and feel like a normal android device, and you will see all your apps.

Thanks for replying. Sorry but I'm a noob with this... I downloaded Go Launcher from the gplay store and I can't see it or launch it because of the problem I mentioned above... If I get to launch it what do I do with it?

No problem dude. Download the .apk file (google it) for Go Launcher and put in the system/app folder. If it's a .zip, rename it to .apk then reboot your Kindle and it will load upon reboot. Try it out and see what happens. Good luck.

I download the apk and put it in the system/apps folder yet I can't see it in my kindle... I don't even know what I have to do with go launcher ex.. can you be more specific? thanks

Couple things to try here. If Go Launcher is installed, you should press the home button and a dialog box should pop up asking you which launcher you want to use. Select Go Launcher. If that doesn't work, download an app from the market called Home Switcher that allows you to select which launcher you want to use. If you don't see Go Launcher in there, then it's not installed. Keep trying, you will get it.

Go Launcher EX and HD

Take the attached files, download them to your desktop.
1) Plug your Kindle into USB
2) Using Windows Explorer, move GO_Launcher_HD.apk and GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk to /Kindle/Download
2) Now go to your Kindle. Open ES File Explorer go to Settings. In Settings > Other Settings is Root Settings. Select Root Settings, check all options.
3) Be sure to "Allow" Root
4) Now using ES File Explorer move /sdcard/GO_Launcher_HD.apk to /system/app/GO_Launcher_HD.apk and move /sdcard/GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk to /system/app/GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk - Install both apk's
5) Change the permissions (by long pressing each apk) on GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk and GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk to User: Read Write Group: Read Others: Read
6) Reboot the Kindle. When it reboots you should see "Kindle is upgrading", then you will be given the option to select a Launcher: Home (Stock Kindle Launcher), Go Launcher EX, or Go Launcher HD
Try them both, see which one you like, then when you are ready, click on the "Home" button to make one of them your new "Default" launcher.

No problem, go into the Apps container where all the apps are stored, scroll through then until you see "Home". Click on "Home" (Not the picture of the house) and wala, you are back to the old Kindle menu allowing you to access all your old /new goodies.
When you are done, click on the picture of the house and you can get back to Go Launcher.
If you install Google Music this app automatically will sync with the Amazon Music. Maybe the next Play Movies will sync with Amazon Movies, only time will tell.

yokone1,
We have seen this a number of times on both Go Launcher and ADW Launcher. This is a sure fix.
Download the attached file named AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3.apk copy it to /system/app then change
the permissions to Owner: Read Write, Group: Read, Others: Read. Do Not install the apk, just
move it and change the permissions. Next reboot, wait for the Kindle to upgrade and test Widgets.
Let me know if this solves your issue.

This worked perfectly, thank you so much! =)

I am trying to do just this and can not for the life of me get it into that App folder. I can copy it to my device into other folders, and when I then try to move it using ES File I get the notice can not move file. I am on a Mac and use Android file transfer but that can not get me directly to the system file... or I haven't yet figure out how. Can you help guide me?
P.S. I have also tried transferring directly via AirDroid and get a failed notice when trying to trf to system/app

Heather_A,
The folder /system/app is a secured folder, you need Root access to mount the folder:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
If you have Root, you need to use either ES File Explorer or Root Explorer in Root Mode.
In ES File Explorer, you need to go into the Settings Menu, next the Root Settings Menu.
Click on all the options in Root Settings. Be sure to Allow the Pop up Superuser request.
Once you have Root, then look at the VERY TOP Left of ES File Explorer where it says Local.
Look to the Right of Local, it probably says /sdcard/Download. If this is the case, you need
to click on the Up twice until you see Local /. You are now at Root, from here you will click
on /system - Local now shows /system, next click on app, now you are at /system/app.
Does this help? Since you are working with the /system/app folder, it is critical to backup
the Kindle. Here is software that automates the Backup Process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Another fabulously useful nugget of info on XDA-developers. Thanks so much. It is things like this that make that patronising and unfunny XDA sign-up video almost worth watching!

I'm having what sounds like the same problem on JB 4.1.1
Whe version of Android is on the Kindle Fire?
I have been running the v1.3.3.8 of ADW EX on Gingerbread (Atrix 4g) with flawless operation.
On my Jellybean v4.1.1 (Atrix HD), widgets are crazy. Static icons stay put, widgits disappear
and reappear all over the place.
Is the above fix likely to work for me on JB?
Thx
