[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Amazon is a company. As with any company, they're in the business of making money. When users install custom ROMs, Amazon misses out on a significant amount of potential revenue. So presumably, they wouldn't appreciate it all that much, which would explain why they aren't making 1st generation Kindle Fires anymore. Another thing that happens when users install custom ROMs, is the device shows up on the Amazon website as a Android device, which surely throws off their records a bit. They have no real data when it comes to how much money each device earns in certain areas, like app store, VOD, books, etc. Needless to say, they probably aren't thrilled.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1exus:
I guess what I'm trying to understand if they can know for sure that you not using their rom, like matching some unique identifier of some kind (serial number) that can tell them that they sold that tablet to me and I'm not on their rom by me using their app store or another Amazon app.

Any ideas if they collect that kind of information or if its even possible to do.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
It's always possible. Microsoft has been doing it for years. Whether or not they actually do it, who knows?

I'm noticing that I have to restart my tablet often when I want to use Google Maps otherwise the app will force close on me back to the home screen when I launch it.

I know I can't be the only one experiencing this issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SteveG12543:
You would probably get more responses in the Infinity forum, which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1661

Personally, I haven't had any issues with Maps force closing (or any apps FCing, really). Is Maps updated to the latest version? If so, try wiping the apps data and cache under Settings > Apps > Maps and see if that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
whoops, didn't realize I posted this in the Prime board.

Mods, do you magic and please move this thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
yep, i experienced this as well. especially in landscape mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Here is how I have solved it on mine for the time being.

1. Clear cache, data and uninstall updates from apps

2. Shut down infinity and restart holding down volume down and power to instigate a cold boot (clears cache)

3. You can try maps if you want but I then installed the upgrades from the market and it has worked fine since.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vo01985:
My Google maps is also very much broken and crashes all the time... Very annoying.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
From what I've read, the Maps issue is mostly due to the well-known "OpenGL Out Of Memory" issue, which exists on all of Asus' ICS releases (even on the TF101). This "bug" causes all sorts of instability in a lot of apps including Maps and Gmail. Any time you start having issues, just open a terminal window and type this to see if that is your problem:

logcat -d|grep -i opengl

Usually, you'll see the OpenGL out of memory errors...

Unfortunately, other that waiting for the Jelly Bean update (which, from my understanding, *does* fix this issue), there really isn't much you can do other than rebooting the device - that will get rid of the problem for a few days until it comes back.... It's a really bad bug that Asus never addressed in ICS, for whatever reason...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] SquidLord:
Thanks! Worked like a charm! Now that it's got CWM, or at least supposed to, would it be wise to jump to one of the JB ROMs? Or should I go to an ICS based one first?

EDIT:

Actually, I just went to the Unofficial CM10. It got caught in a boot-loop, but I was able to just reboot and it went to CWM and is running JB. It does do this thing though, where (on boot) it appears to have corrupted video after the Samsung logo [only for a second, maybe less] and then it boots and functions normally.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Did you flash ics before flashing jb?

You can't jump directly from GB to JB.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] SquidLord:
I did not. I jumped straight to Jelly Bean from Gingerbread. It appears to be functioning fine though.

As a side note: It is my friends phone so I don't have ready access to it 24/7.

Hey to fix the corrupt video effect you see you will have to flash the gb boot loaders since froyo doesn't support the new cwms

No but he didn't say to factory reset your phone, just format the sd card. You can also remove the sd card and format it from pc
[HTC Sensation] Snoop05:
or format it via recovery :good:

Please can you tell me how to do that?

turn off your device.pull out the battery and put it again

then press and hold volume down and power button together until it shows you the bootloader

go to recovery and from there find and select to format sdcard

nothing happened. my device's screen showed me a red notification after i selected recovery and stuck there. i had to pull out the battery to fix this. i tried this 3 times but every time with the same result

[Android Themes] Deleted member 4352545:
No black dialogs, apps etc.? (Check the 'What you can expect?' section in first post.)

This is just a port and there are not so many changes in comparison to stock. But I'll create a plus version soon, which have more changes than the original port.
[Android Themes] Saiger:
yes, the theme is working perfectly ( no bugs, and all changes working) :D

[Android Themes] Deleted member 4352545:
Okay, I think we misunsterstood something, sorry.

You said, it doesn't work for you, I asked you, what's not working. You said, it's stock except some black things. But the theme is stock with some black things. Just look into the changelog section in the first post.

Or what do you mean exactly? :D
[Android Themes] Snusdus:
I thought that the status bar icons would be changed for example..
[Android Themes] D-m-x:
If you read the OP you would know that new Icons will come in the near future. Anyway, i like the Theme, keep up the good work.
[Android Themes] smcdo123:
I think what is confusing everyone, myself included, is the fact that your notification icons are not stock. Where did you get those? Any chance we can get that theme :)? Regardless it is a superbly well done blacked out stock theme
[Android Themes] Snusdus:
As I understood it, new icons would come because the icons from the theme was too small, not stock.
[Android Themes] :
Hmm, then it wouldn't look so nice anymore.

I also had this problem, when I themed the keyboard black, but after some practice, it worked again. :)

Thanks..

Yeah, take your LatinIME.apk (/system/app), open it with winrar/7zip and color the following files with photoshop or any other program to black.

keyboard_background_holo

keyboard_background

keyboard_suggest_strip_holo

btn_keyboard_key_dark_normal_holo

btn_keyboard_key_dark_normal_off_holo

btn_keyboard_key_dark_normal_on_holo

btn_keyboard_key_light_normal_holo

btn_keyboard_key_dark_active_holo

Dude, I wrote this, to let the users see, what they get with next version. :laugh:

Are you using the stock status bar version instead of the normal one?

Already tried to reboot?

And if you've checked all of this, which resolution do you have?

Use this?

[Android Themes] -Jesco-:
thanks for the stock status bar icon apk ~ it works fine :D
[Android Themes] LordManhattan:
Thanks! I have never themed an app or any Android element for that matter, so i need to:

- Download LatinIME to my computer

- Rename LatinIME to LatinIME.zip?

- Should i just open it or extract it?

- Make the .png's you've mentioned black

- Fail horribly at it

- Get my hammer

- Smash the computer

- My neighbour comes over and asks what the hell i'm up to

- I smack him in the head with the hammer

- He dies

- I run from the police, and take shelter up in the mountains

- I go full retard

- It's february, so i slowly and painfully die 50 meters from a cabin

Am i doing it right, or should i do it somewhat different?

That's what i thought!

But one more thing; after i'm done, i rename LatinIME.zip back to LatinIME.apk again and i'm done? I haven't extracted the zip, i'm going to just swap the themed PNG's with the original PNG's using WinRAR. Is this right?

Edit: Damn you Windows. I tried renaming it back to APK now, but now it's LatinIME.apk.zip and therefore still a zip file. I'll see if i can fix it using a third party file explorer. Noob ahead!

Re: [PORT][CM10/CM10.1/AOKP/PA] Paranoid Darkness 3.0

No. After you kill the motherfracker, you open the .apk with 7zip (open it, not extract it) and copy the .png or whatever inside, then just close it. Not extract it and rearchive it. .apk ain't .zip :P

Here's a ZIP with the PNG's. There are 8 of them.

Here's the part from Cakebomb (OP's) post:

I located the originals with the same names in res/drawable-hdpi and i just replaced the black ones with the originals and closed 7zip.
[Android Themes] Formhault:
That's what I'm about to do... so the outcome would be the same.

Did you insert these .png`s in the original .apk, or the one you edited already with APK Manager (if you reached this step)?
[Android Themes] LordManhattan:
No, i opened the original and untouched LatinIME from my Note.

It should look like this (from the #1 post)
[Android Themes] Formhault:
Wait a second... So the keys should not show additional symbols? Just show the letters (selected mode), like, say, on iOS keyboard?

-----

If you failed at this, I would, too, since the method would be the same. Did you set the permissions of the .apk to rw- r-- r--? And how exactly is it not working? Is the keyboard FC`ing, or...?
[Android Themes] LordManhattan:
The keyboard should just look plain black like in the screenshot. I've even pulled the LatinIME PNG's from this theme and added them in my LatinIME. Still doesn't work! It does work in the theme.

I changed the permissions to 644 (RW-R-R) and even rebooted. The keyboard works as usual, and it looks like the stock keyboard. I have no idea what's going on.

[Android Themes] Formhault:
I just flashed ROM... installed theme... and rebooted, lol. This has been my daily driver for two weeks.

With the system theme, the keyboard looks different. So the keyboard I am having is skinned by Paranoid Darkness, not actual ROM. So the keyboard works fine :/
[Android Themes] LordManhattan:
Yeah, the theme keyboard works fine, but i'm not using the theme. The only thing i want is the keyboard, and this is where things gets funky. Even if i take the PNG's directly from the theme and move them over to LatinIME, it still doesn't work.

Damn you, world!

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Yeah, i'm using stock CM10.1. I DID use a theme the first time i tried the new keyboard, but then i change the theme back to stock, and it still didn't work.

Edit: But did you theme the keyboard yourself? And is it working? Or are you using the ParanoidDarkness theme?
[Android Themes] Formhault:
Oh... my bad then. I cannot help you. I thought you wanna take .png`s from LatinIME.apk of this theme and put them in some other LatinIME.apk. But then I realised : wait, there's no such thing in this theme, it does not replace LatinIME :/ . Retarded me. Sorry, mate :( !

But hang on a second. Why are you not using this theme? It is the best theme ever, for CM, on the Note! It hides the banding and black clipping so well! :D
[Android Themes] LordManhattan:
OH MY GOD I'M SO ****ING STUPID. Hang on for a couple of minutes and i'll get this thing going. I have failed hard, LOL.

I did use it, but i'm more a fan of stock-ish looking themes with minor changes. But this theme is sweet.
[Android Themes] Formhault:
What is it?

I'm more a fan of the stock ICS/JB theme, too... It looked so great on my Galaxy Nexus running official AOKP builds... miss it so much :( . But on the Note, which has severe color banding and black clipping... no, can't deal with the usual holo blue background. It just clips so badly in the upper/top side when it goes dim... :( I'd rather have black clipping everywhere else, but NOT on my freaking User Interface ! NO ! :D

So... I gotta stick to this theme. Which is nice, by the way. It takes some time to get used to the all-black things... without having outlines and such all the time... but once you master handling it, it's frikkin awesome! :D
[Android Themes] LordManhattan:
I'll tell you soon. 5 minutes or so.

I'm using the BOSS theme, and it's pretty sweet. The Desk theme (themed like the 4.2 Clock app) is also pretty looking. As long as we stay away from the stock CM background (like in Settings) the banding isn't bad.

[Android Themes] LordManhattan:
Well.. I was moving the black PNG's over to the HDPI folder, which is totally wrong since the Note is a XHDPI device, so i had to move them to the XHDPI folder. It's amazing that it took me that long to realize that. *SELF FACEPALM*

I'm not recognized anymore. They took it from me when they discovered my dark secret. I had an infraction from LAST YEAR, so they just took my title away. Where's the logic? I have no idea.

Anywhoooo... You get unlimited thanks if you're using the XDA Premium app or Tapatalk app :)

I'll make a thread here soon with the newly themed keyboard so other people can download it (and yes, you'll get some credit, haha) :)
[Android Themes] Formhault:
Oh. Lol. You could've moved all of them in all of the folders. You never know when you get bored of XHDPI (320) and move on to HDPI, or whatever 260-280 DPI is :p .

What? You had an infraction, so you got demoted? Not even the president gets demoted when he sneezes too loud. Oh well... :rolleyes:

No sh*t? I've been using the XDA Premium app but moved to Tapatalk, which I currently use, and fails at thanking posts when the limit has been reached (apparently).

I don't really deserve any credit. All I did was... erm... throw jokes in and drown myself, lol.
