[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectdefy:
So I really like the Android 4.0 ICS Rom that I put on my Kindle Fire.

But I also really wanted to keep some of the Kindle Fire's app such as Amazon Instant Video, and Kindle.

I know I can get the Kindle app from the Android Market, but there is no Amazon Instant Video app in there.

Is there a way that I can still get the Amazon Instant Video app while running ICS 4.0 Android ROM besides just running a ICS launcher on a Kindle Fire ROM?

If not, is there a way I can alternate between the Android ROM and the Default Kindle Fire ROM?

EDIT:

Queston 2:

So I can't get TWRP to work properly. Like... It doesn't feel like it's installed. The only way I can get TWRP to show up on the boot screen, is when I manually have to each time, use the KFU, Press 3+Enter, and then reboot my kindle fire that way, and THEN it'll just load TWRP. I never see the yellow Triangle for some reason. Any reasons why?

Currently running on 6.3.1 using KFU version 0.9.6

You want prime stay stock you want ics no prime that is how it is but you can alternate from a backup of each via recovery.

Keep a backup of both stock and ics on your SD card when you want to watch prime use ota root keeper to protect root and temp. unroot on your stock side always remember to restore root and delete superuser backup when your done . Always make fresh backups before returning to the other. Always do good wipes when moving back and forth because of the difference between the two systems as this can cause problems during restore. Ultimately its as big hassle and an be dangerous if you mess up or take an ota and loose root while on stock. Problems that I have had when switching lost game data particularly glu games, kindle books, market problems, bad backups, SD card space consumption . About your twrp and bootloader issue I would use smirkits scripts to update both of them starting with twrp http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500935 read carefully on how to apply these with root browser if you want help just ask for it in a new thread someone will be more than willing to walk you through it .

What do you see when you boot your device do you see a white kindle with an orange fire? Or a white kindle with a blue fire? If you see the second one depress your power button a few times quickly till you get a tiny list of options at the bottom of the screen press your power button till it looks like --recovery-- that will put you into recovery. If you see the white kindle with the orange fire your bootloader is not installed.

I see a white kindle with a blue fire. Why would I put it in recovery mode?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
As it's been said before, you can only use VOD on the unrooted stock OS.

Yes, it is possible to dual boot the Kindle Fire, but I wouldn't suggest trying it without doing some research first. And considering the second question of your post, I would suggest doing a LOT of research.

I would also suggest reading this guide to help you better understand the difference between a bootloader and recovery.

I don't have Prime but I've purchased tv shows and rented movies on Amazon and I can see them on my Kindle running ICS through the Amazon website (changing user agent to Desktop on the browser settings) It works pretty well (accessing controls when in full screen mode is a little bit hard and messy but if you don't try to go back and forth in the movie you'll be okay)

I know is not the same as the stock video player but it works :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt30:
So I might be getting a K Fire today and I'm wondering if this still holds true?

I already have a Galaxy Nexus so just being able to use ICS/browsing the internet isn't a big deal for me. I plan on using the device primarily for reading and video (whichever service is best - amazon, netflix, ect.).

Is the kindle app just as good as the stock interface? Would I loose much from the transition from stock to 4.0.4? I'm guessing that ICS offers a smoother interface and browsing but is that worth the switch?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
The Kindle app for Android is nowhere as good as the reader already on the stock rom. Seeing as all you're going to do is read and watch videos, stay on the stock rom or try MoDaCo.

[General Questions and Answers] Zorigo:
Head to the SGS 2 forum and read around a lot about rooting. It's the only way to be sure you're doing it properly.

You may either need to just flash a rooted kernel, which will leave your phones ROM (the OS of the phone) as it is but now gives your phone root capabilities.

Or perhaps flash a rom such as Darky's ROM which will root your phone and install a brand new rom (Darky's ROM) all in one go, complete with tweaks and other great features. I'd recommend going through this way as Darky and his crew make flashing a new rom and rooting a painful one step process and once done,you can either stick with his rom, or upgrade to a different rom found on XDA that has more tweaks and improvements. But Darky's is a great one to start on, it's fast stable, has great battery life and while there are other roms out there that improve the SGS2 more, you will not be dissapointed if you stick with Darky's :).

It depends what you're after which you do. rooting your current stock rom is great because your phone stays exactly as it is but now has root capabilities so you can look around and pick odd tweaks here and there and install them, and install other apps and such that benefit your phone but need root, but custom roms are usually more tweaked than the stock roms, and can have other tweaks built in already, which can improve battery life, speed, stability, 3g/wifi speeds, and provide useful tweaks to the general experience.

I'd definitely recommend going for a custom ROM.

Read around the SGS2 forum and find one that fits your needs :)

But now I am in studying in London, UK and i cant use any network accept Lycamobile. In this one, I also cannot use the mobile internet.

I have call the customer care but they always told that they send me settings but i never received it. What's going on in this i don't have any idea...

Its too hard to roam around in the big city without having an Internet in my phone.

Do i have to unlock it again according to UK? or is there any other problem i am facing.?

Please Help...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurath:
Yesterday when i was browsing from my HTC Desire, it crashed a lot, and then suddenly there was a message saying something like "cant save smses" and desire started reporting running out of space.

Somehow i restarted the phone, and now it's stuck in a loop. Boots up the HTC logo with silently brilliant, and then restarts.

My Desire is not rooted. and i have dont wanna lose my data .

Is there anyway i could clear the cache enough to atleast get the phone up and running.

I can get into HBoot(0.93.0001) recovery, but cant seem to wipe the cache , because of no space issue again.

I have adb installed and can see the device but it appear offline. Tried to clear cache from fastboot, but didnt fix it, since i dont think it realy did anything.

I've searched a lot, researched too, learnt a lot too.

My desire is S-ON, and recovery is default stock one. i guess cant root it or make it S-OFF without actually making it to boot normal first.

would be very grateful if anyone can suggest me a way to fix it without losing my data.

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Have you tried booting into safe mode? If this works you can delete some stuff and the phone will work again.

1 Turn off your phone

2 Hold down the Menu button

3 Turn the phone on (keep Menu held) and wait for the phone to start up

4 When your phone’s started you’ll see it saying Safe Mode in the bottom left. You can let go of Menu now!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurath:

is it possible to flash a smaller system image through recovery and gain enough space to boot like Stefi mentioned?

How can you flash it via fastboot? Nand is locked!!!! If clearing storage will not help you need to reflash CORRECT RUU for your phone...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agismaniax:
if you can use stock recovery, try this one aroma file manager. try to delete unwanted apk to free space or move important data to sdcard.

i'm not sure it will work if your desire is still S-ON.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefi.com:
kotag82: It was only list of possibilities to flash img files...

But I have to apologise for mystification. Personally I though it’s possible to modify original PB99IMG by deleting some part and flash through GC. But I was fail. Sorry

agismaniax: In the end, I restored S-ON on my Desire and tried this too, however result was verification fail... .
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurath:
thanks stefi, for checking all those.

So there is no way out of this without actually losing data ey?

================================

***If you consider yourself a inexperienced post your questions here first.***

Since Siyah is the all-in-kernel there are simply too many different roms that it can run making it very hard for the dev to troubleshoot if every little issue is posted on his dev thread, many of which are super noob, noobish or posted without prior testing/problem solving/research.

- battery issues

- wake locks

- PERCEIVED Bugs. Remember that what you experience as a bug is likely just a rom issue or settings related. If many users experience the same thing then GM will take a look.

- extweaks issues

- CPU related

- suggestions/additions to future kernel versions.

***Current affairs! Latest release feedback and tidbits***

***New Pegasus governor***

***Relevant contributions from guys who know stuff.

SetCPU is currently the only GUI interface usable to tweak Peg... for the curious:)

And this from GM about the quirky frequency scaling. I'm a bit unsure about his reference to 100mhz not being a good idea as it seems to behave normally for me set as min.

*** My Observations so far:

- Scaling misses 200,300 mhz steps completely. Others are barely touched.

- multi core aware. Probably not the same version that will release with the SGS3.

- don't bother with the hotplug settings in extweaks they WILL BE NON-FUNCTIONAL when using Peg.

- setting 200mhz min freq will actually set 500mhz. Setting 100mhz min will work and will jump straight to 500.

scaling issues much improved in 3.2.5 so above info mostly no longer relevant. The new Hot plug governor appears to be be very similar to Pegaasusq. Will add info as it's reported

quoted from Siyah development thread...

extweaks has it's own set parameters which are configurable (the ones provided by gokhan). whatever other settings you want to change (for example voltages and freq's, governor's) you'll have to do with other mechanisms, such as built-in ROM control of your prefered rom, or voltage control app, nstools, setcpu, or any other app like those.

Try some of them and see what suits you best.

Extweaks is only for the kernel specific tweaks, but essential if you want to tweak those too....
