Hello all, I just joined the forum and what a great resource. I've been reading through the posts but haven't been able to figure out why I cant install apk files. I've enabled apps from unknow sources but the install button is still greyed out. I just got a Fire HD 10 (7th Generation) and haven't been able to side load any downloaded apk files. I've only loaded one app (VLC) through the amazon app store, would love to load chrome and other apps.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Rob

Thank you!
I found and easier way. When you see the greyed out install button, press the square button next to the circle home button. Then just click back to the install screen. Doing that will remove the greyed out install button. Just click install!
Duece solution works for my profile, but not for my kids'. Kids profiles do not have the square button.
I want to install some apps for them. Installing from apk used to work. Now no longer.
Kinda wack solution but saved me a ton of time, can't thank you enough!!

ditto! Thanks alot and works like a charm!
It seems that if you install a .apk over a file manager, Amaze in my case the button is not greyed out
Edit: Seems like this only helped for apps that I tried to install after downloading via the browser

Ok I tried to do some searching for the front "Ok" button but either I didn't find any or I'm not searching using the right words so if you know of the answer, if you could either help or point me to the correct thread that'd be greatly appreciated.
Anyways, I am looking to, if possible, set the front "ok" button to actually close the program rather than minimize it.
SPB Pocket Plus?
Hi,
Check the quick menu (which actually replaces the default startmenu).
quick menu have an option to close the application on OK button instead of minimize.
good luck

Have been trying to solve this for a little while without success, wondering if any body could help out. Upon a long press of the power button appears, on the 2 custom roms I have tried, a Quick List . This however this does not display a Restart option. I prefer the look and usability of Slide2Shutdown however cannot disable Quick List and map Slide2Shutdown there instead.
Ive installed Slide2Shutdown however it doesn't override the Quick List.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Give this one a try

Hi, thanks for your reply, however after installing this it hasn't replaced the quick list, this is beginning to really puzzle me!!
Check out my posts HERE
worked perfectly, thank you so much!
So here is what happened. I downloaded the full version of titanium backup from the app market and proceeded to follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bloatware to get a faster, more clean stock rom. I got to the "Home" item and checked in the normal applications menu from the home screen to see if there was a "Home" app of sorts. So I went ahead and froze it and kept going through the apps. Long story short I eventually found out I could not access the home screen and in my nerd rage I rebooted the phone only to find it would not go past the boot screen because it didn't have a "Home" to launch in to.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
if you can launch the voice command by double pressing home or long pressing search, say "market" and it will launch the market, where you can download a home launcher.

Hey thanks, that's a start! I found that I can get past the "red eye" boot screen if you will by sliding my invisible lock slider over. From there all I have is a black screen and then the notification blind. Unfortunately, your suggestions of accessing the market arent working for me. I had previously mapped my double press home to the dialer, and the long press search errors out giving me a "Connection Problem" pop-up with the options to speak again or cancel. I also notice that I am in flight-mode...

If you are comfortable with using adb, you could probably push an apk into /system/app
If you dig through the development sub-forum I am pretty sure there is a link to the stock system archives. You could push the original blurhome.apk

I have just learned how to do basic adb functions while rooting a co-worker's Milestone, so that won't be a problem. I'll try transfering that and see what happens. Thanks for the tips guys.
It's fixed now! I ended up fixing it by going through the Advanced Task Killer (Froyo edition), clicking on titanium backup, and hitting switch to option to go back into titanium. Thanks for the help
On the note 2, you can turn any app into a folder (ie: angry birds into a game folder), by hold, drag, drop into a folder category.
I've tried several methods and searched the topic, but can't find anything for the G2 - is it even possible?

when you're on the menu click "options sign" on the upper right, then you'll see the apps are ready to uninstall, replace or be in a folder with other ones. After that hold which app and drag it onto another thats it

Thanks for the reply,
Which menu are you referring to?
I've checked everything I can think of, and can't find 'options sign' anywhere.

i think you just pick and hold one icon and drop it onto another and it should create a folder... at least thats how it is on most launhcers.

Sory for broken english, i meant main menu. When you are in home screen press menu button thats where i meant. Options sign is the wheel that places on top of the menu

On the stock launcher just grab an app and while holding your finger down just hover it over another and a folder magically appears and it even gives you the option to name it. Its really just that easy.

Hello, all. I'm trying to disable the home button. I've tried everything I've read and searched up, it's a no-go. It doesn't wake the phone which is halfway there but it still functions after the lockscreen. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

It didn't work for any of the capacitive buttons nor the home. But I'm already good with the capacitives through another method. Hardware home seems impenetrable. Anything else?
All right. I finally got it! I edited gpio-keys.kl (separate from the rest of the buttons from down there for some reason) and I added a # in front of key 172 HOME and saved it.
