[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LanQiao:
When Amazon updated to 6.3 my Kindle Fire had to be rooted again. This time, although I have the Google Play Store app, when I launch it, the following message appears: "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" When either Yes or No is selected, the app force closes.

Tried unrooting and re-rooting, rebooting, but nothing works.

Hope someone out there can help, please.

Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk and this should stop happening. You can extract it from the GB (GingerBread) GoogleApps zip file. I always put that .apk into /system/app, but that may not be necessary (not sure on that). Just try installing the gsf apk and see if it works -- I personally would also reinstall the market at this point (Vending.apk). If this doesn't work, you will probably have to get into adb and push the .apks to /system/app while in recovery. Then, you can work your way to them with a file explorer that can get into root (ES File Explorer works) and install both .apks by simply tapping them.

Google Play force closes, Google Framework won't install

I've rooted my Kindle Fire running version 6.3. It's running the stock OS. I used the Kindle Fire Utility version 0.9.5. It rooted and loaded TWRP but was unable to push the google apps (extras) as 'permission denied'. So I installed rootbrowser.apk. It works with superuser privileges. I downloaded GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending 3.5.16.apk and then with Windows Explorer I dragged them into the /sdcard/Download directory. With rootbrowser I copied them over into /system/app. I tried to install the google apps. Google Play installs but crashes. GoogleServicesFramework.apk will not install. Using Rootbrowser, I was not able to delete the GoogleServicesFramework.apk. I booted the Kindle Fire into recovery mode, mounted /system, then used ADB to push the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and the Vending 3.5.16.apk into /system/app. The files were successfully copied into /system/app. I rebooted the Kindle, using rootbrowser I installed Google Play (Vending 3.5.16.apk) but GoogleServicesFramework just shows "Application Not Installed". When I launch Google Play I'm prompted to add my account info on the device to continue. When i select "Yes", it closes and I'm unable to get past this point. I have the "Go Launcher EX" installed. I also went into recovery with TWRP and fixed permissions. Still nothing worked.

I've watched the NOOB video, and read Kindle Fire For Beginners and a whole bunch of other stuff. I've scoured the posts but though i've tried everything that everyone else has done in order to get Framework installed and Google Play to work, I cannot get passed this point. I'm now 4 days into the process of 'rooting' this device. Like I said, it's rooted, but not completely functional with the desired apps.

Does someone have anymore ideas on how to get GoogleServicesFramework.apk to install and Vending 3.5.16.apk to work after it's installed?

Thanks!!!

What are your "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" permissions set to?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montoyat:
The GoogleServicesFramework.apk installed in /syste/app/ is 777 (for owner, group and others), i.e., rwx for all three users.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Well, 4 days and running into roadblocks. I was probably chasing my tail. However, when the nice guy that posted a reply asked "what were the permissions of googleservicesframework, and I checked that they were 777, I decided that maybe..., just maybe, I had a bad .apk. All of the .apks that were in the folder were 644. So I downloaded a new version of googleservicesframework.apk from media source fire (the one that I had was from a link posted previously.) I noticed that most of the .apk files were around 600 kb. The one that I had downloaded previously was about 2mb.

After copying over the small .apk into /system/app, my google play started working perfectly! I'm VERY sorry for being a NOOB! However, thank you all at xda for being here for all of us! Keep up the good work!!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nayoula:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] relax24:
Hopefully someone could clear this up... My notification light is never fully the colour I set it to. For example, I've set it to Yellow for one notification, however you can see tints of green in it. If i set it to green, I can see a quarter of it is blue. Is that the same for everyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_f4b1:
In my case it's the same. I think the LED can only show some standard colors like red, blue etc right. If you try any slitghtly different color it will try to do it like you do it when painting with watercolor. Mix them.

I think hat because when my LED should light up in white, I can see all colors in there. But maybe my phone is also just screwed :s

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mad Medik:
After reading for the last 2 days, I am still unsure of exactly how to upgrade my Raider (Canadian) to ICS. There are probably others trying to work out the same. So, to avoid the problem of having noobish questions asked repeatedly in multiple other threads, I have created this thread. If the thread is active, I will try to keep the first couple posts updated to minimize the need to read through multiple pages!

If you are a Dev or experienced, knowledgeable user, I'm sure you see the benefit to answering once in a proper thread.

My thoughts so far:

1. Back everything up and fully charge your device.

2. Have a plan for what you will do if this fails and you brick your device.

2. Unlock your bootloader and Root your device. Link To Slapshot30's Superguide

4. Turn off security on your device (S-OFF) Link to Juopunutbear S-OFF Thread

5. Change your carrier id to "SuperCID" jmone's post on checking and changing your CID

6. Relock your bootloader.

7. This is the step I am unsure of... People seem to use some terms interchangeably, but I'm not sure it is reliable. For example, HBOOT, boot.img and kernal. I think the first two are synonymous but I'm not sure kernal is the same? Since there is no Bell or Rogers ICS, we are going to use another carrier's stock, or more likely, a custom ROM. I have read that you need to replace the HBOOT (boot.img?) with one that is a match for the ROM you wish to install. I think a match generally will be found by (ideally) using the HBOOT recommended by the ROM dev, or secondarily, using the HBOOT for the same carrier and same OS (eg if a rom is based on AT&T 2.3.7, then using the HBOOT extracted from the stock AT&T GB 2.3.7 RUU would work). So, we need to clarify the steps here for HBOOT/boot.img (and kernal?)

8. Install ICS ROM!

_________________________________

Noobs, etc: Ask away and as we get answers I will add them to the FAQ post.

For those that have been successful in applying ICS to their Canadian Raider, please provide precise, detailed explanation of how you did it!

DEV's & other experts, your input would be appreciated. In return, you'll minimize pages of unwanted posts elsewhere!

Which brings the next question....when rogers when????
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I just updated the superguide and it should work for all carriers. The basis of it for carriers other than AT&T is....

lock bootloader

run GB RUU for whichever carrier

unlock bootloader

S OFF

flash wcx recovery

update to international ICS hboot

flash wcx recovery

flash custom kernel + ROM
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mad Medik:
If the radio really is the issue, since bell and rogers share identical protocols and frequencies you will be able to use the bell radio. Bell has announced released in june, so if rogers doesn't parallel back you can get s-off and then just apply the new bell radio.

I started off with the Rogers HTC Holiday and in a span of a day I managed to complete the entire unlock procedure thanks to SUPERGUIDE and the thread on ICS HBoot update.

I'm running DarkRaider 1.4 on a Rogers Raider. I followed the steps for the S-OFF you linked in your post, then flashed WCX recovery via the Vivid AIO tool (check the Dev forum, it's stickied). After that, I just flashed the ROM via recovery, no problems.

Other than a few ROM specific bugs, I haven't had a problem. I'm still waiting for Visual Voicemail to work though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manyoo:
Hi everyone.

I did a Google search and did not find anything related.

As we already know/experienced, the sound quality on cellphones when playing music on headphones/earphones is not that good. Someone might suggest boosting the audio file with pc software or even using a 3rd party app to make the sound better/louder on the phone, but this usually does not help that much, if not make the sound even worse.

So this got me thinking... what if we could somehow harness the power of our portable x-fi go soundcard. It's a soundcard integrated in a USB stick.

http://www.itechnews.net/wp-content...-Sound-Blaster-X-Fi-Go-Pro-USB-Sound-Card.jpg

So what would theoretically be needed if this is to be implemented.

* Female USB to Male MicroUSB/MiniUSB cable, to make a connection between the stick and the cellphone.

* Android drivers for Creative X-Fi Go, so that the cellphone can detect the stick and utilize its magic power.

* If the cellphone is not able to give enough power to the USB card, there's always the possibility to split the power cable of the usb cable and connect it to a external battery.

Anyone here with greater knowledge know if this is possible?

If this idea becomes real, we will also eliminate the need to buy external amps like Fiio.

If this problem has already been solved, then please point me to right directions because i did not find anything related on Google or xda search.

Thanks in advanced.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTContent:
I'm sure this is possible but I don't see the benefit of it. The sound on my device I think is awesome as it is. Investing in some good headphones will probably be a lot more beneficial than implementing this idea.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
I think the audio quality on my Android devices are fine, the sound is usually limited by the quality of the input file since I'm usually playing lossy formats like MP3. On GB or newer you can get a system wide EQ app, I use Equalizer. It will allow you to set and EQ and bass boost which can make earbuds sound a lot better.

If the audio simply isn't loud enough from your phone you could get an external headphone booster. Boosting audio in files or via an EQ too much will only lead to distortion, where as a headphone booster is a small amplifier that runs from external power and amplifies the analog audio output. These will be helpful when powering larger headphones.

Hi,

I am known to headphone amps, such as FiiO. That's why i was wondering if someone knew how to create some sort of android drivers for creative x-fi usb sound card, and i could use that as an amp instead of buying a new one.

I want to see support for USB sound cards not so much for playback but for recording! There is currently no way to get sound from a microphone into an android thing.
