To hide swype: swipe from the S (swype button) to the backspace button.

I installed swype beta by downloading swypeinstaller, installing it, moving it to system/app with rootexplorer and running it from there.
[Kindle Fire General] ataraxist:
I kept getting forced close even after installing via system/app

.... anyone knows how to solve this?

How can you get to the keyboard settings for an installed keyboard?
[Kindle Fire General] fzdolfan:
I tried this method, and it successfully added the options to the input method pop-up, but any method I choose other than Kindle keyboard persistently force closes until I set it back to Kindle. I've installed Slide-It and Swype.

Any ideas what might be the issue?

FYI, I verified that the permissions were the same as the Kindle keyboard. That is, User, Group, and Other checked under "Read," User checked under "Write," and nothing checked under "Execute."

Also, these apps were both installed prior to moving the apk files. Could that be the issue? Should I uninstall them and then install from the system/data folder?

Finally, I tried to "move" the files back to the data/app folder, but when I navigate in ES Explorer via the "Move" action, no folders appear in the data folder (they are obviously there when I am simply navigating within ES Explorer). In other words, I can't go deeper than the /data folder itself.

UPDATE: Never mind. Reinstalled the apk files from the /system/app folder and that fixed it. Didn't even have to reboot again.

Rooted Kindle Plays Videos fine

My Kindle Fire 6.3.1, just rooted moments ago, plays kindle videos jsut fine, as an FYI.

If you cant get yout kindle to "online" in KFU, check this out:

1) Create a sub-directory "android" in your "%user" directory (i.e., "C:\Users\%user\"). Please notice that there is no necessary dot before "android" because Windows would not allow you to create such a folder directly.

2) Go to "Kindle Fire Utility\drivers\kindle" and copy&paste the file "adb_usb.ini" into the newly created folder "android".

3) Click Start, open Run and put "cmd" (without quotation marks). By default you are supposed to be in "C:\Users\%user\" folder.

4) write the following command in this cmd console: "move android .android" (without quotation marks).

Now, run "install_drivers.bat" (without Kindle being connected), then connect your Kindle to your computer, and try again to run KFU "run.bat". In my case, I saw the device connected. To root Kindle, use Option 2. To install Google Apps Store, run Extra. Enjoy KFU!

Swiftkey crashing and cannot uninstall on Kindle Fire HD

I realize this thread is for the original Kindle Fire but I've got a significant issues with Swiftkey on the Kindle Fire HD and could really use some help.

I installed Swiftkey 3 Tablet through the Play store on a new Kindle Fire HD 8.9. It would not enable so I moved the .apk to /system/apps and reinstalled. The keyboard could then be enabled but it immediately began crashing. The service appears to restart and then crash again within a few seconds. I'm able to still navigate around between crash error messages that pop up.

Uninstalling the app fails and there is no way to switch to the default keyboard on this device. The app cannot be stopped via Force Stop either. Rebooting does not help. I tried reinstalling the app as well to no avail.

I'm stuck here and the device is basically bricked unless I can find a solution. Any ideas on how to force the service to stop or to prevent it from respawning? At this point I would be happy to go back to the default keyboard. Or better yet resolve the issue and use this app.

Thanks for your help.

[Kindle Fire General] Geko45:
SwiftKey is my favorite keyboard and it really enhances the Fire's usability.

I just used sqlite right on the KF to do it. Pretty painless really. Just make extra copies and maybe a nandroid backup for the squeamish.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
New noobie here,

I just returned from BN trying out the NT, side by side with the NC. Upside: Definitely felt the new NT has more zip in it, a bit lighter, very promising. Downside: the "customized" web browser is slow, and on certain websites, I can't even "click" or work some buttons. Also, until our dev team can come up with a root, user only has 1 whopping gb to store our contents, out of the 16gb that we all led to believe in the first place.

I've been reading how much progress we've made in the past 24 hours, from the bad news of the bootloader to now people saying sideloading is now able, how feasible that I could load a different browser, i.e. Safari, or Opera apk into a stock machine, while waiting for a reliable root solution?

Thanks for the help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
Im using dolphin right now. I have opera on it, and I saw that some one else was using skyfire.It might have been the wifi sucking at the store too. The stock browser isnt too bad.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Yeah, stock isn't too bad. I've been using Opera all day. What really sucks is the stock keyboard.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DagobahSamurai:
I hear the Kindle keyboard sucks too. What are the odds of getting Swype or something similar on one of these things?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
100%....if we get access to keyboard settings. Or have su so we can force swype on there like they did over at KF forums.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
I'm not crazy about the stock browser as a whole. It locked up on me twice (i'm guessing the websites I hit were the culprit), but in stock trim, I couldn't kill the app. Had to reboot the device.

now that it's sideloaded, and I have ZDbox on it, it's a non issue. But my preference is always DolphinHD, which is now my default browser.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nachtswerg:
I've been bouncing between Firefox and the stock browser. Both seem fine, though Nightly seems a bit disjointed when rotating the NT (doing a refresh fixes the issue).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] outbasket:
Downloading Podcasts with Stock Browser

I was in the store and I tried to download a mp3 podcast from financialsense.com/financial-sense-newshour

The stock browser would let me play the mp3 right away, but there was no way I could find to download the mp3. Anyone try this with Opera, Dolphin or Skyfire?

When I click on it, it would give me a choice to just save the image of the button.

Also when downloading pdf files off the web it didn't give me a choice on which folder to download the file. It would default to My Downloads.

Overall I was impressed with the speed and build quality. I like the rubberized bezel of the NT which makes it easier to hold than the NC.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] phirewire110:
My just got a fire and I think the app experience sucks.

The Amazon Appstore can't compare to the Android Market.

I've seen that people have rooted their fire with super oneclick and pushed the Market into system folder.

I was thinking about doing this to hers, but at the moment, we didn't have access to a computer.

We did however have Wifi.

So I was wondering if gingerbreak would work.

Just open the browser, download the apk then use a file explorer to install the app.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Also I couldn't find any 3rd party launchers in the Amazon Appstore other than Go Launcher EX.

I installed it and it seemed really slow.

I cleared the stock launcher's cache and data and even force stopped it but Go Launcher was still slow.

I uninstalled it and returned it back to normal.

Told her I'll do more research.

I am trying to get back to original stock on version xxkh3. Is there a way to accomplish this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFaixy:
try HERE
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Please have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.

In his third post you will find a Frankenstein version of the XXKH3 ROM.

This is nearly original stock and non-wipe.

If you do not care about wipe and really want the "real" official stock version, then try to search and download it by using Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/.

But Check Fus Downloader is initially intended for checking the latest official version directly from Samsung's servers.

Alternatively you can search on SamMobile (=> http://www.sammobile.com/showthread.php?t=23&highlight=Samsung+I9100+Galaxy+Firmwares) for the stock ROM.

But there you will often get wipe versions.

So, backup all you want to lose before flashing.

Good luck !

Created FAQ
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
The Face Unlock question should be expanded a little and stated that Face Unlock is useful in conditions where phone is lost or stolen, as the finder/thief will not really have a photo of you. Face Unlock is not meant to protect it from being used by people that carry around a photo of you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Great stuff!

Minor correction: in ICS, like in Honeycomb, there is no longer a separate partition for the internal media storage. The internal storage is now just a folder on the /data partition, so if you wipe the /data partition you will lose all your media files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Therefore, a factory reset will wipe the internal storage? Like err i mean music, videos and stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I'm not sure, I hope the system would be smart enough to not wipe the entire /data partition on factory reset, but rather just delete parts of it. Maybe someone who has a Honeycomb device or a Galaxy Nexus can chime in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h9290:
I was able to restore everything back from my Nexus to the Galaxy Nexus.

The USB mass storage is not as great as the old ones, not sure if it's the lack of drivers or not. but it tend to stop responding and it got to protocols when connected to the pc plus the debugging.

One thing i could not figure out was having a custom ring tone and notification tone.

It can be done for individual contacts but not for all, think it's a bit harsh to edit 150+ contacts for a custom ring tone

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gundea:
A small correction, the reason for the use of the Super AMOLED HD with the PenTile matrix is simply because that's the highest pixel density S AMOLED screen available. Super AMOLED HD Plus doesn't exist yet but Samsung is working on it.

www . howardforums . com/attachment.php?attachmentid=75206&d=1321534995

There's really no question, the low PPI screens look terrible compared to the high PPI ones, even with the PenTile arrangement.

I updated that section to mention that at least a few custom recoveries have been made for other devices to skip the /data/media directory to save that stuff. That was where I was getting confused about it lol

Still nothing about the ringtone and notification ?

It's really annoying that it can't be changed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Unless they've changed something from how Gingerbread and before works, there should be some sort of option for that in People (aka contacts), under options for an individual user. I'll try looking into it in the emulator later.

Or are you talking about setting notification/call ringtone for the entire system? Should be under Sound in settings... To the emulator!
