[Kindle Fire General] PatchesOfPlenox:
..Interesting.

Well, it seems I have finally got it rooted.

Using the kindle fire utility to install vending and whatnot does not currently work on my device (made respect to the creator, it's just not working...).

I decided to try and download/install it manually, and I now have root. I'll see if the forums will let me send him a message.

As I said, I'd mention how I "fixed" (more like just trying everything) it. It was simple. I went and found the actual TWRP the guide mentioned.

For reference: twrp-fire-2.1.0 will NOT work (at least for me) to root the kindle. You require twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0

Thanks for those who looked, lets see if I can break it now :P

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=AZ88CYWv0FU&v=AZ88CYWv0FU&gl=US I used this method the first time I rooted mine on 6.2.2 in the video description there is further guide for 6.3 but I used kindle fire utility for my daughter's on both 6.2.2 and 6.3 and for mine as well on 6.3 but all the drivers were already in place but and it was v0.9.3 utility I really think that the better way is pushing the files via adb to your device but the utility is easier I'm using twrp 2.0 works perfect if your gonna flash wipe everything factory/data cache dalvik and system have backups done and all your files where you can find them rom and gapps read ops well for flash instructions go the extra bit with your wipes it doesn't hurt just don't reboot on accident until your done flashing because you will have no system on your device use root explorer to rename your backups without spaces or the won't restore you will find your backups under SD card/twrp/backups/ooooooo familiarize yourself good with locations in explorer so you know where to navigate to before doing anything even close to a flash initial boots take considerable time I would say anywhere from 5- 10 mins depending knowledge of what your doing is key read read ask questions
[Kindle Fire General] jacewt:
For your information or anyone else's, the yellow triangle is the old FIREFIREFIRE, the bootloader. The new version has a android guy over the kindle logo. So now that you have the yellow triangle back, you're using the old Firefirefire.

To easily update FireFireFire, or TWRP, I recommend smirkis' scripts that run right through your kindle, no computer necessary (you must have root).

Thanks jacewt muchly appreciated :-)

By the way twrp does not root your device its simply a custom touch recovery for the kindle download root checker or try an app that requires root like root explorer it will ask for superuser permissions when opened just check remember and allow to grant permission
[Kindle Fire General] mdwbeex:
I was able to root the KF in short order with the utility -just follow the instructions to the letter, make sure ADB is functioning correctly. If you are having trouble with ADB, just make sure that it says composite, and not straight android USB. If, when you go to device manager, and the driver isn't the composite variant, unplug the kindle from the computer, delete the driver entry from device manager, and then plug the kindle back in. If you've edited the correct driver files, it should pick it up and ID it as a composite device and you'll be on your way to root in a few minutes from that point.

Also - I didn't use TWRP, instead opting for CWM. No particular reason why, I'm just familiar and comfortable with CWM and I know from experience that it "just works".

Is it possible to remove the home screen from a rom with android 2.3.4 and sense 2.1, by editing the rom itself.

I know that the android version 2.3.4 (cool ic sense) doesn't allow this function, as it was added later in newer android versions (or sense versions?).

Either way, is it possible to go inside the rom and edit the sense launcher, so that it only shows 3 screens for example.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pbrady5:
Hello everyone!

I've been coming to this site for a few weeks now. What a ton of helpful information! I finally decided to create an account though, because I had a question I couldn't seem to get answered.

I'm fairly new to android, this a100 tablet is my first device I've "owned" but have worked with and have a little experience with other android devices. I'm pretty good with Linux, being an IT admin. I'm sure my issue is minute, I'm just stumped as to what is causing the problem.

I've upgraded my a100 to the latest ICS build. I've installed the drivers from acer (unfortunately after windows detected the device drivers first) and I am trying the quickroot method I found in the development forum. I can run the windows .bat file, and everything goes through CMD so quickly that I am not able to read whats happening, but it reboots my device and says root achieved. I've got super user installed, it won't find any updates for the SU in the settings menu, says failed every time it looks for them. I open terminal emulators, still getting $ instead of #. Tried a terminal command I read about for root, where I put the root and SU files at mnt/sdcard and use the command to install, no luck.

Am I truly rooted? I cant tell anymore. I just want to unlock the bootloader, install cwm, and flash an a500 custom rom to it.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'm overlooking something, but Im not sure. I can add a legacy device, add Acer's ADB driver, but the fastboot one gets a code 10 and cannot start.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
You do have Superuser and it's su binary, so yes, you should be rooted. Try this app if you want to be sure: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Land Master:
Besides the root checker that theonew pointed you too I have always found downloading and installing Titanium Backup from the market as a surefire way of determining if root was successful.

Upon first run it will ask for SU permissions and should present you with a dialog box asking if that is ok with you. I always answer yes and make sure that the "remember this selection" box is checked.

That will be the first sign that you are rooted. Then, The program should provide you with a summary where you will see a bunch of green check marks. Most notably Busy Box should have a green checkmark and it will probably state Installed from program or something to that effect.

Wahla, you have confirmed you are rooted.

BTW, I recommend this program for it's ability to backup your apps which makes flashing new rom's easier as the apps can then be restored after performing a data wipe which is usually a requirement of flashing new Roms. Just be sure you understand that sometimes restoring app's AND their associated DATA can mess with a new ROM. In that case you can simply install the APP only. which still saves you the time and bandwidth of re-downlaoding it from the market.

Good luck and welcome to the playground.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Hi there

I got a Docomo Nexus. I have a galaxy s2 also. I thought I would had the same challenges here...

Guess what... i installed Cwm. The only challenge for me. Installed latest Akop and for the first time I am not changing a rom from 3 days. Everything works here.

I am getting bored. please give dome directions to have fun and play with my phone.

For example. Is there a kernel that gives somehow better battery life? Any other rom better than Akop? Any substitute for macro feature missing in the camera app?

I used to search for perfection in galaxy S2 and I was switching between cm9, custom roms to find a perfection...please understand me, hope so...;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
First of all, AOKP is not the best ROM. CM9 is faster and Slim ICS is the fastest ROM with the same features as AOKP.

Secondly, I'd recommend finding something else to do with your time than worry about how your phone is "boring".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Hahahah...thnx for the tips especially with the last one. I can understand your post but take my post with a grain of salt. I am a bit of rom-coholic...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anfozy:

zippity doo da.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madaopul:
Finding the answers to the questions that you asked is half the fun, for me at least. If there was a definitive "best" ROM or kernel there would be very little need for such a development based community. If you are looking for fun I would suggest looking at the market for one of the many games available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrcojocaru:
Is this true?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Be careful, you will get an infraction for trolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What is true differs for every person. For example, you couldn't pay me to use AOKP (do not ask why, I won't tell you).

Do I believe that any rom is faster than any other? No I do not. Do I believe kernels can change that? Yes I do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidOnRoids:
BAMF Paradigm FTW ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrcojocaru:
So what do you use? I see you're a developer: do you have your own rom? Pardon my ignorance I'm still new here. Have yet to remember a username and connect that with the work they've done.

If I guess right will you tell me? Do they work for the government and have installed keyloggers so when we say anti obama things to our friends in texts the black choppers will show up at your house, and if you tell anyone they will kill you? If so I wouldn't use it either... Or tell me why
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I have gone AWOL as of last release (too much personal business to handle) but I work with a team. We put out BAMF Paradigm. I am but one member, and certainly not the main one.

My reasonings for not using AOKP are not because of that, however ;)

I use Paradigm 1.2 with my own modifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrcojocaru:
Read above your post I edited mine lol.

Inb4 crazy conspiracy guy. I'm jk. I will try your rom good sir! I've only been using AOKP and have been getting weird scroll lag... I like the features but my phone doesn't agree with the rom.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cHarOn99:
i started with AOKP and never regret it, i also tested SlimICS which for sure has not same features as aokp, i also tested liquid which is nice but only english, i also tried cm9, also nice but i miss the aokp stuff in it.

For me AOKP is the best, i always come back to it and now i will stay with it, it has everything i want and just works.

For kernel i use Imoseyons Leankernel which worked for me always the best, i get around 3h also sometimes 3 1/2h screen ontime with it, and over night it loose almost nothing.

I tried also francos kernel, which is also nice, but with it i had sod issues and other stuff, but it is still a good kernel many people love it, i will stay with Leankernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
i would leave AOKP but its honestly come so far that the customization is fantastic...especially with the latest release and the nav buttons! I wonder why CM9 is faster?? i dont notice any difference in terms of speed at all between the two....and if youre talking benchmarks or something, then shame on you lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thacounty:
Also, Canabalt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Using BAMF here and yes Temple Run is a lot of fun. I started out with AOKP but I find on each release they either don't fix things or introduce new things that don't work. I got tired of hit and miss with that ROM. I would recommend 2 super solid and fast ROM's. Foxhound and BAMF Paradigm both running latest stable Franco kernel. Foxhound is like a near flaw-free AOKP.

Benchmark all the kernels. How many % drain battery for playing music, for bluetooth headsets, etc.

I was doing that all the time, but it got to be a bit time-consuming :( But since you're bored and all that :cool: it could even be useful for other people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
No, that is opinionated in so many ways. "The best ROM" is a neverending question. That's like answering the question of "the best car." There is no best car, each person has to evaluate their choices and choose what is best for them.

Personally for me, its AOKP. You don't like AOKP and prefer CM9, that's fine. I respect that. But don't be so biased on ROM selections.

If you made a ROM, then you'd believe that your ROM is the best out of them all. The question is just not answered.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Temple Run cured my porn addiction.

On the phone, anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
Yes Franco kernel, and liquid smooth ROM. Get the franco kernel app from the google play store also its awsome.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jhhoffma:
Hello all,

I've recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 8.9 and of course after a day or two with a stock ROM, I was looking to install a custom ROM to get a better overall experience.

Unfortunately, with every custom ROM I've tried, I get this weird display artifact (see video below). It starts when the bootloader switched over to the boot animation. The artifact will continue after the OS is loaded up and on the lock-screen. If the display is turned off manually or due to time-out and then turned back on, everything is fine. It's doesn't seem to affect functionality at all, it's just really annoying.

It's happened with CM9, Galaxian Soup AOSP, Galaxian Soup AOKP, Overcome 8.9, and AOKP b29-31. When I restore my nandroid backup, it works fine, so I don't think it's a hardware issue, but it's really annoying.

Broken up URL is below (still a newb), please let me know if anyone else has this issue and/or knows what may cause it or fix it.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ro_explorer:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jhhoffma:
Thanks for the reply, but wouldn't a hardware issue be present with the stock OS as well?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ro_explorer:
It really depends on what registry is being touched by the custom rom. It looks like the vertical synchronisation of the screen is being screwed up somehow. If this effect is seen only in your device it must mean that something is fishy with a hardware part of the screen controller and the sync if being affected by a value written in some other part of the control registries. I have no idea how I could express this clearer.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
That's awkward to be honest. I haven't seen anything like it in my 7310, be it with Stock, or any other custom ROMs I've tried (from the old AOSP Galaxian Soup alphas to the current beta and the old versions of Overcome too). Do you completely wipe your device before flashing any custom ROM?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jhhoffma:
I did completely wipe data/cache/dalvik before every ROM install.

Unfortunately, I don't know how I'd return it, since the error is only apparent when a custom ROM is installed.

Hey Folks,

Quick question about the radio functioning in MHX Superlite 5.1.

I'm a rogers user, and while the included radio (ucalc4) provides excellent sound quality and speed.. it seems that periodically the radio locks up and stops sending/receiving until a reboot.

And yes the baseband shows unknown after flash.

Thanks !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ckck543:
Hey I'm a rogers user too and I found the way for the baseband to stick is to go into general and download the ics radio then bootinto cwm and do dark side wipe.
