Hey, ok so it is a deliberate software decision. Kinda sucks- I'd think I'd sooner like to have it type directly below where I write. I'm guessing it is an attempt to account for the fact that the glass has a finite thickness. Sooooo does anybody fancy writing a kernel alteration for this...?

Couple days on KK1 and what I thought was a hardware problem still seems to be fine. It's detecting much better in the bottom right corner where I was having issues on KL7.

I am having the same issue with the reduced responsiveness of the bottom right corner. I've noticed it after updating to KL7. Maybe is the driver of the screen.

Is there any way we could report this back to Samsung?

Hello.

I have the same problem ate bottom right side of the screen. I am ate LA4.

what should I do?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -francesco-:
Although the problem was nearly imperceptible some days ago, while the note was connected to the charger, I've noted a very small area near the bottom right side of the screen where it was difficult to write using the stylus with SMemo. On the opposite side the loudspeaker is present; and so I've thought it might be correlated with the magnetic field of the loudspeaker. Today I've performed the *#*#2664#*#* test with and withouth the charger, but the problem is not occurred. Because of these devices are always more complex I prefer snap closures for my cases.

Very impressive tuto! I haven't tried it because I haven't run out of space yet but sounds great and I'm glad to know that it is here when I need it. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eldarerathis:
Thanks! I got motivated to play around with it today when I realized I'd already eaten through 500 MB of my internal storage. All those "wifi only" game downloads really add up...

Also, here's a screenshot of Ti after I repartitioned. Note that my internal storage is at 3.73GB out of 4.61GB at the bottom :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Sweet! Made me double check my space and yeah.... Those games do eat up a lot of space
[Kindle Fire Android Development] stocaprimo:
I don't know if I'll ever change the partitions layout, but this guide is absolutely impressive. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] renegade027:
WOW!!! Great!

I was thinking of what would it take to go the other way, actually. I mean,

1) I don't care about any future OTA updates from Amazon, so I definitely don't need a 500+ Mb /system partition.

2)/512 Mb will be more than enough for me on /data - anything I can't fit in that, I'll be able to just move to the /media partition.

3) Since I won't be flashing any OTA updates, I don't need this huge /cache partition either - I have 2Mb on my phone, but I think there's a script in the ROM that actively avoids using the cache partition for anything really.

4) What is /dfs and why do we need 200 Mb there...

This all adds up to nearly 2GB more space I can definitely use in the /media partition....

Do you guys think this could work? I.e - apply the same approach to /system - back up/shrink/restore?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eldarerathis:
I would think you could do this as long as you make sure you get a good backup of /system and it restores properly, but I've never tried. You'd just need to be a little careful since you would have to erase and repartition it since parted doesn't understand ext4, although as long as you can get into recovery and fastboot you could partition back to normal and flash a stock system image if something went wrong (at least you should be able to). I'm probably not going to try that since I'm fine with this layout and I've only got my personal KF, but it doesn't sound unreasonable.

I'm not sure what /dfs, /dkernel or /backup are, either. I thought I saw a thread somewhere that had some talk about them, but I don't remember where it was. /dkernel is actually the same size as the /boot partition - which made me suspicious - but I can't unpack the image with my usual unpack/repack scripts so I'm not sure what it really is and I don't want to mess with it :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
Assuming you do everything right, how long would you expect this process to take?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] californiarailroader:
WOW, that's a lot of work for just a little bit more space! Good write up though, thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eldarerathis:
I'd wager you could probably knock this out in about 20-30 minutes, depending on how much stuff is on your /data partition.

The longest part, by far, was archiving and unarchiving /data. All of the partitioning commands together would only take, like, 10 minutes or so (they execute very fast). Archiving the /data partition alone took about 4 or 5 minutes for me and my archive was ~500 MB. Unzipping the archive later was another 3-5 minutes.

Altogether it probably took me about 45 minutes of actual time since I was playing with numbers and writing stuff down periodically.

I know it looks like it would take a lot longer, but I just have a tendency to write very, uh, "thorough" documentation. It's mostly out of habit (I'm a software developer).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
Right there with you.

I'm not feeling brave enough to do this right now because I'm not sure I would get EVERYTHING backed up and sorted properly...but as I've now run out of app install space several times, my tolerance for it is steadily decreasing!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] drExel:
Good Friggin Stuff

eldarerathis,

This guide was excellent and worked fantabulously for me. Thanks for an excellent walk-thru.

One Caveat. In this section:-

The executed parted command in should read:-

~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
...

Also, in setting up the /cache partition, after initiating this command:-

tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p11

Thanks for pointing out the potential for the need to fix 'group descriptor checksums'. Though, in order to ensure the filesystem was marked clean, I had to initiate an extra step of running f2sck manually:-

~ # e2fsck -fD /dev/block/mmcblk0p11

(note the lack of the -p switch)

Again: Good work putting this together for the KF community. I, for one, had the immediate consideration of a small /media partition (and an inflated apps area) as this is mostly for books / apps / games for the kids whom would not use this for locally stored content and would stream any media they desired.

One question: can any of this be scripted in any way?

Cheers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'd love to see a script or something for this....:D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Ya, I agree - terrified to do this myself but happy to run a script by someone who's had it tested by others. :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eldarerathis:
Oops, you're right. I *always* forget the device parameter when I use parted (even when I'm actually running it; I do it the first time without a param constantly and parted yells at me), so I'm not surprised I missed one of them. Thanks, I'll fix that.

Per your second comment: I actually did this a second time because I changed my mind and decided to go with 3.5 GB /data and 2.5 GB /media, and I also had to run e2fsck manually. The first time I did this I didn't need to, and I'm not entirely sure why that is. Thanks for reminding me to add that note, though.

If I have some time I could try to put together a script for this. I was thinking about doing that since you should be able to do all of the parted stuff with command line parameters, but I haven't had time between work and the holidays. I might try to take a look at it again this weekend if I have a chance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'd make a donation to you if you get this done in a script. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Smmoph:
Awesome space Space flip. Lov It.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drExel:
Having done this with your original method, I totally understand why you might have had to revisit and partition as you did the second go-around. It seems most game downloads cache the initial files on the media partition before actually 'installing' the data to the SYSTEM partition. As a result, in no time at all (especially with Gameloft titles) you begin to receive 'LOW SPACE' warnings when downloading some of the extremely large game-data (ie. Dungeon Hunter 2 requires 900+ megs free available) so there is potential for required manual clean-up to see things through.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hydrocharged:
Does this work with TWRP installed? I actually want to increase my media storage, as I use my Kindle Fire mainly for reading things online and watching movies/anime (not porn you nasty people). I'm not so sure I would want to install ClockworkMod if I have TWRP already on here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eldarerathis:
Yes, this should work fine. TWRP 2.0 has the utilities you need, to my knowledge.
[Kindle Fire General] usurpine:
I updated my new kindle fire, then rootet it successfully.

After that i installed the Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 and made it the default launcher.

But this failed, when i now start the kindle fire i get caught into the loop of this error:

! Sorry

The application Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 (process androd.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. [Button: force close]

Which i can press, and then the loop starts again.

I am a noob, so please how do i get rid of this launcher ? I could need a reset or factory default or whatever, but the normal ways dont work, because i cant reach them anymore. Any Ideas how to fix this ?

/edit: I have access to my device with adb shell. so i think i can somehow change the default launcher, if someone tells me which file to change because i have no idea which is the right.
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
You need to figure out what the package name is "adb shell pm list packages" without quotes. Once you figure out what the package name is you can "adb uninstall name.of.package"

[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
I've had this problem with a different launcher and posted my solution here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1361138

... don't worry... you can fix it... all you need to do is install another launcher or uninstall the ICS launcher... and you may be wondering how you can do that if you can't get to a usable screen.

You can still install/uninstall apps using the adb service you used while rooting. FoxDog66 mentioned how to do this if you know the package name. In my case, I could not find out the package name of the offending package, so what I did was install another launcher via the same method I installed my google apps to the sys/apps folder. with another launcher installed, I get a choice again which launcher should run when turning on.

I suggest you try foxdog's suggestion first, but if you can not find the package name then get another launcher.apk install file like GOlauncher or ADW Launcher and push or install that app the way you see google apps being pushed via the following method:

Download GOlauncher http://61.145.124.93/soft/3GHeart/golauncher/v2.68/go_launcher_ex_v2.68.apk

now make it a system app:

adb remount

adb push c:\androidApps\go_launcher_ex_v2.68.apk /system/app/go_launcher_ex_v2.68.apk

adb reboot

After reboot you should be able to choose your launcher of choice. Don't make anything default until you know you like it!!! ;)

Now that GO Launcher just installed via my method makes it a system app. You can't uninstall system apps in the normal way, so use a program like Titanium Backup to make that pushed launcher app a NON-system app (moves it and makes it easy to uninstall the way other apps do). Titanium Backup is just a great program to have if rooted.

Good Luck.
[Kindle Fire General] usurpine:
how to uninstall buggy launcher which is set to default

Thanks for helping me.

Yes thats exactly my problem and i am now trying to follow your instructions.

The hardware reset works, but it will not get rid of the launcher.

So i try to find out the right application name to uninstall it. But *blush* i have not idea which is the right name and i dont want to uninstall something randomly.

I have some very basic skills with linux which i uses 10 years ago or so, so i am able to make a list which i attached here.

OK, i am now trying to do this:

adb remount

adb push c:\androidApps\go_launcher_ex_v2.68.apk /system/app/go_launcher_ex_v2.68.apk

adb reboot

but "adb remount" gives me back a

remount failed: Operation not permitted :confused:

I need to look closer how to install and uninstall packages now.

/edit: what i can do is:

adb shell

$

su

#

so this looks like to me that i am superuser. I also see the file system, and i can do some stuff with this shell, but its very limited because this shell is different from the shells i knew long time ago.

/edit:

ok, found something:

i am in the file system in

/data/app

here i have 3 apk:

net.adisasta.androxplorer-1.apk

mobi.SyndicateApps.ICSv2-1.apk

mobi.SyndicateApps.ICS-1.apk

and i think this is the package i installed.

/last edit:

OK folks. SUCCESS..

I just did adb uninstall mobi.SyndicateApps.ICSv2 and i immidiatly got success and got rid of the fail launcher.

VERY NICE and a warm THANK YOU for helping me.

I think i will try more now -- hehe.

Just tasted some blood now. Probably i will be soon here with the next problem. But i really appriciate your help. Hopefull soon i will be more into it and be able to help other noobs, too.

Also if someone needs german help because of language barrier, i can help translating.

[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
Glad you got it fixed :)

A few tips.... adb remount just remount's the system partition read-write which isn't needed unless the app is installed to /system/app (it also does not work. It does work with doomlord's kernel, i think because of the insecure ramdisk)

The "./" part of your command just means to run in the current directory, if you have fastboot or adb in path then you don't need that part and you can also run the commands from any directory. if you don't have them in path then you would need to have what you wanted to flash, boot, whatever in the same directory as fastboot/adb. To check if something is in path (let's say fastboot) you can type "which fastboot" and it will either tell you where it is (something like ~/Android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot) or it will say, couldn't find fastboot and it will list out a bunch of directories.

One last thing, you can chain commands together with "&&" so say i want to "fastboot boot newboot.img" i would plug my kindle in, press the disconnect button that pops up on the kindle then type in terminal "adb reboot && fastboot boot newboot.img" if/when the first command runs successfully then it will run the second command. If it does not run successful, it won't run the second command. Also, for me, adb reboot takes a few seconds to work and fastboot waits for the device for a few seconds also.

Hope this is useful, I'm not always good at explaining things. I'm also not a Linux pro lol these are just a few things i have learned that are pretty useful :)
[Kindle Fire General] usurpine:
Well, this is useful. Basically you are talking about how to work with linux. Once i understood that inside my kindle there is just a typical linux i can take one of my old linux books and use any command (like the && and other stuff).

I am not a pro with linux (forgot almost everything) but now i know how to look after it and be able (limited) to use it after some testing.

That said, i now was able to do a lot of funny stuff with my kindle, i installed tons of applications just to look how it works (and it works great) and uninstalled them after that.

Now i can watch movies, listen music, play games and can do almost everything what you normally cannot do with a kindle due to amazons restrictions.

What i want to know is how i can extend the linux inside my kindle so it is using a shell which can do even more stuff, like a ksh (korn shell) or something. A shell with commands like i can find in a "normal" linux installation. Is that possible ?

And how about installing a more linux like grafical userinterface ? Or use the kindle as a normal linux pc, just for fun ?
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
Ummm..... Have you looked at busybox? It is possible to port command line tools to Android. I've seen things like cURL and lynx that worked. Porting and compiling is a little out of my league (wish it wasn't lol, I'd like a updated cURL binary with https support) i know bash scripts work, I've written a few and "run-parts" (part of busybox) will run a directory of scripts.

You should get into (or look into) custom Android development and/or kernel development. There is a lot that can be done

Help, im a real newbie

Please help me, I really have no experience and I followed a link that made it look very easy to install the ICS Launcher. Now I keep getting that same page and it's driving me up the wall.

Iv done the adb devices but the list is empty.

Try to recover many times and failed before "boot.bin"

Vol. up & down / Home Key / Power dose not work.

If nothing else works use PST with stock Verizon files and a PIT. Pretty scary program for noobs to use though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DragoonBrethren:
I had this happen to me once or twice before. My guess is that the USB cord came out or lost connection before it was done flashing. I used the pit file with the EE4 .tar file in Odin and it worked for me.

Follow the link posted above and you will be good to go.

Edit: On a second thought it could have also been because I put a .tar file under "PHONE" by accident and not "PDA". I don't really remember.

Just make sure to follow the directions and fully wait for it to finish and you'll be fine.
