[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittaidv:
hi all,

Since a week or 2 my phone is constantly giving messages like this: "The application LogsProvider (process com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider) has stopped unexpectedly"

When i make a new contact or a new file on my phone, it disapears after rebooting. When i uninstall all my apps and reboot the phone, all the apps are back and nothing has been uninstalled. Even when i format the sd card on my pc, and reboot the phone, all the content is back as if nothing has happened.

When i try to reset it to factory settings, it opens in recovery mode. When i then select to wipe all data or wipe cache and reboot, nothing has happened to it, everything is still on the phone like before. Even when i deselect the backup and automatic recovery checkboxes before i reset to factory settings, nothing has been wiped.

When i try to update the phone with kies, the update installs correctly, but when the phone reboots, the same old firmware is still installed and the settings are intact.

When i try to update the phone with Odin, everything goes well, and it says 'pass' in green color. when i reboot the phone, the same old firmware and settings are still there.

I run stock firmware from november '11, which i can tell by dialing *#1234*

Can anyone help me identify this problem, and is there a solution? It really looks like this phone has some write protection or something..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittaidv:
i made a youtube video that describes the problem, but this forum doesn't allow me to make a link.

anyway, my phone stays stuck on the 3rd of september and that sucks.. any solutions plz?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittaidv:
the video

i can't post the link, so let's try it like this:

First type the 'www', then the 'youtube', then the '.com', then type 'watch?v=n6SH8QDJr94&feature=g-upl'
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Flash custom kernel, do a factory reset in CWM and see if the data is gone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittaidv:
i've already tried to install cwm, but first i needed to root my phone. When i tried to root it, it could not find the Root.zip on the sd card, although i'm pretty sure i put it there, it just disapeared after the reset, just like all the other files..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Flash it [kernel] through Odin (PC).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittaidv:
allright, i will try that, thanks already!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittaidv:
ehm, even that didn't do anything, i will upload a youtube video in a few minutes..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittaidv:
the youtube video:

type 'youtube', then '.com', then '/watch?v=P_D2EbPF0Ik&feature=youtu.be', without the '..

really strange how i can update the kernel and nothing has changed!

I really start thinking there is some kind of write protection or the internal storage is totaly screwed up?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Seems your nand is partially borked, and is stuck in a state where it will not update the memory, so it is "stuck" at a specific point in time.

I have heard that it's POSSIBLE (and I stress possible) that flashing with repartition ticked with the PROPER .pit file will resolve your issue, but I cannot say this with any certainty as I have not actually done this myself. But at this point, it seems you don't really have anything to lose by trying.

I can't seem to find a reliable download link for the .pit file for the I9100 right now... it's called u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit. I'll see if I can't find one when I have a spare moment.

EDIT: Found one - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28321934&postcount=35. BUT!!! Only use it if you are positive you have an I9100. (check on the label under the battery) Flash it with a stock firmware with re-partition checked.

False alarm. Turns out the link is dead.

EDIT 2: This looks promising... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448351

I flashed CM10 a week or so ago and I want to update to the newest version of cm10. How do I go about doing this? Is it as easy as I think? Download newest version, put it on sdcard, boot into recovery, and install from .zip or do I need to do something else? I'm sure this has been asked before l, sorry. Thanks for our help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaosTime86:
It's recommended to do a full wipe. Than flash the new update zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slvrgtmiscer:
Does a full wipe consist of just booting into recovery and wipe cache partition, delvic cache etc.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slvrgtmiscer:
Anyone else know?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaosTime86:
Preparation

Before doing the wipe, make sure you take the following precautionary steps:1. Perform a*Titanium backup*to ensure you have the latest versions of your apps saved. Its a good idea to save your internet bookmarks here too.2. Many apps have a backup/restore option so use this to back up your current settings (eg. JKay Deluxe settings, Go Launcher, Fancy Widgets, Simple Calendar etc.). Do this for such apps so that the settings can be easily restored later if required.3. Make a Nandroid backup through CWM Recovery.Be aware of any contacts with personalized ringtones etc. as these will have to be re-assigned after the wipe. There are apps on do download from the Play Store that can save these for you however.

Full Wipe

Boot into recovery

Wipe Data/factory reset

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik-Cache

Wipe Battery Stats

Format /system

I have got YouTube, Gmail, Currents and Google Maps working in the Kindle Fire HD without rooting. However Google Maps is not able to get the location from Wifi and is not able to sign in using the following process. I was unable to get GTalk (also attached) to work so far. The following process does not use GoogleServicesFramework as was used in the Gingerbread version of Kindle Fire.

I have modded the apps with high resolution 256x256 icons for display in Kindle Fire Carousel using the following guide.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1495854

I have used You Tube 3.5.5 modded for HD playback. Alternatively this works with any of the APKs found in the following topic or built for Ice Cream Sandwich.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529715

1. Enable installation of applications from unknown sources in Kindle Fire Settings.

2. Install GoogleLoginService.apk.

3. Reboot.

4. Install the Google Apps.

5. Start YouTube. Sign In. It will take you to Google Account Manager to create/use existing Google credentials.

6. Same goes for other apps. In case sign in fails for any of the apps (except Maps/GTalk) drag down the Kindle Fire notification bar, click on the notification for "Permission requested....." and assign required permissions.

The files can be downloaded from here

https://www.box.com/s/kf6n8qpdncscnhmsz3ox

UPDATE: Thanks to alkemist80, installing GoogleServicesFramework.apk, rebooting & installing Talk from the following post, Talk works perfectly fine on Kindle Fire HD, unless it goes into sleep mode.

(If existing apps stop responding at this point, remove and reinstall them)

Wow! Guess I owe you one big time!

Followed the directions provided and viola!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Misfit77:
When I first got my fire I side loaded Gtalk after installing GoogleServicesFramework and it worked fine. I just installed the GoogleLoginService.apk and was able to log in to Youtube just fine but that does seem to have broken Gtalk for me. The gtalk .apk I was using just hangs while trying to sign me in. The one you provided immediately force closes when I try to open it. It seems to be trying to log me in as "@youtube.com" as opposed to "@gmail.com". I have been able to get it to let me sign incorrectly with gmail/drive/youtube but I don't get a chance to choose my log in as gtalk tries to start right up. That is weird that is was working before and now it's not. Any ideas?

Update: Using a google maps .apk I had as opposed to the one you included I was able to get maps up and running flawlessly as well as Navigation with turn by turn. I was also able to get Google Drive working as well. Here is the maps .apk I used:https://www.dropbox.com/s/lh5a4h9i6ex3nhv/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] abhijitxp:
Thanks for the maps apk, I will try it out. Well, multiple google/drive/youtube login thing never happened for me. Are you having both of these files - Gingerbread version of GoogleServicesFramework.apk and ICS version of GoogleLoginService.apk in the system? It could cause a problem. Otherwise doing a Clear Data on the GoogleLoginService (Google Account Manager) may clean up those ids.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dmullens:
drive

I can't get drive to.work. keeps telling me that drive has stopped. I installed it from 1mobile and app brain. Any suggestions?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Misfit77:
I believe they are both ICS. Not to sound like a noob but what do you mean "clearing data ont he GoogleLoginService"?

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

I had just GoogleServiceFramework installed and it did not work. After I also installed GoogleLoginService from above I could able to get looged into Drive and able to access my files. I hope this helps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dmullens:
Okay. Do you have a good source for that apk?

Also I believe he is referring to going into the Application Management settings area and clearing the data.

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] javier21:
Thanks..
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Varlokkur:
thanks! Has anyone tried side loading Google Calendars or Reader yet?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] alkemist80:
How did you get gtalk to work? Which apk did you use? My fire HD is rooted and GoogleServicesFramework installed and every time I open gtalk, it force closes immediately. I hardly even get a chance to see the error screen before it clears. Everything else I have installed works, play, maps and youtube.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Misfit77:
Thanks for that, I used this Google Drive .apk https://www.dropbox.com/s/b4p25wadossvw6h/Drive_1.1.4.12.apk

Thanks!

For Gtalk I had only installed Googleservicesframework and I used this .apk https://www.dropbox.com/s/svq3ehtv4jdfrvn/Talk.apk

Good luck guys!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] alkemist80:
Awesome!! Thanks so much, got Gtalk working now :D
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Misfit77:
You're welcome, now I just need to figure out how get gtalk back without breaking most of the other gapps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] tpeek:
Where did you get the apk for GoogleServiceFramework? I tried using one from my Nexus 7, but it would not install. Maybe because it is JB and I need an ICS version? Thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] alkemist80:
Don't mean to hijack this thread and I don't think PM is working for me yet, but I just wanted to know if you had disconnection issues with Gtalk when the fire HD goes to sleep. Can't seem to figure this out.

I'm still having trouble with Drive. Youtube works, maps work, currents work, and so does Google books. I would really like Drive.to work as well.

Here's what it does. I have the Google accounts all installed but not the framework. When I had the framework installed quite a few programs stopped working. Now when I install drive, about 2 seconds later I get a message that drive has stopped. Then I go to the home screen and then get another drive has stopped message. If I try running it, a few times it looks like it is doing something, but I end up with the same.message. sometimes when I true running it I just get the message.

Yes, I've shut down several times. Any advice is appreciated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Xyth:
I had some apps working using only the OP instructions; that is I wasn't running the framework at all. When I loaded the framework (then rebooted) so I could run the rest, most previously working apps stopped working. I found that if I reinstalled (no need to uninstall) those apps via ES file explorer (it has supervisor permissions) they immediately started working. I did root last night, but have not messed with the system folder to load Play as there is no backup yet. Not sure root is needed though, nor if supervisor permissions is an issue. Every app works great now. Only weirdness is Maps shows my position about 500 yards off target, while mapQuest is spot on. No biggie, just strange.

Thanks to the OP and others for getting us this far.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] abhijitxp:
Well, this might be the Gingerbread version of Talk. The ICS versions I have are all > 2MB. The Gingerbread GoogleServicesFramework - Gingerbread Talk combination works fine in the ICS Kindle Fire HD but it messes up other Google Apps. Also I am unable to install any ICS version of GoogleServicesFramework yet. And the ICS version of Talk is unable to login without the Framework.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] alkemist80:
4.0.3 GoogleServicesFramework and Gtalk app from my EVO 3D. Both are running on my ROOTED kindle fire HD, no problems with google maps, play store or youtubeHD. However Gtalk does not seem to be supporting the front facing camera and causes the app to crash if you or someone else tries to connect via camera. Still trying to get gmail to function correctly, it will not push emails.

I seem to still be running into issues with Gtalk logging out while the device is in sleep mode.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dmullens:
thanks! Reinstalling the apps solved the problem! Drive is now working, along with the other Google apps....I am not rooted at all! This is awesome! Hopefully I don't run into any other issues and all play happily together.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Misfit77:
Does that include Gtalk?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] alkemist80:
Gtalk is a little more complicated, you can see my notes here on this thread, though I believe it can still be installed non-rooted http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897380
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Lastb0isct:
How do you side load apps on the kindle fire? I'm not sure what program to use to browse for the apps and the. Install them...is there a file explorer app that I can get from the amazon app store? Es file explorer won't download.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Z_Black:
Wanted so say thanks for this post! I have an Iconia A500, but have been really intrigued by the new Fire HD's so I picked one up. I am rooted, and did that before running across this thread oddly enough. But this still worked like a charm! I only installed the YouTube app and Currents so far. Going to try out chrome if I can find an apk for it. Ultimately I want the Play Store primarily for the Adobe Touch apps if those get working at some point since I have purchased a couple of them. So far Youtube and Currents works great!

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dmullens:
I've used a couple of different places. At first I was using 1mobile.com but recently I've been using appbrain.com. Both have an app you can sideload into the kindle fire HD. I downloaded it from their website and then installed it.

Google Chrome works just fine...but I've ended up using the Dolphin HD Beta. It seems like it is a bit faster...Chrome did some pretty cool things though with multiple tabs opened.

Good luck. I like that I didn't have to root the thing in order to get Google Apps to work.

The only thing I'm not sure is if SYNCing Google apps is really working.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] alkemist80:
I have my chrome fully functional. It syncs with my pc and laptop, and pretty much all my devices that run google. It's a little more complicated than just installing the app files because amazon locked out the stock google account page. You can find the system file apk here on another thread I made about google talk but I did a lot of digging around. You need this to properly sync your google account and to turn it on, you have to do it through the gmail settings app. Once it's triggered, you can adjust your sync settings. Since my device is rooted and have the play store installed, I am unsure if this will work for non-rooted devices.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dmullens:
It would be nice if someone could verify whether sync works un rooted. When I go into my settings in GMail, it won't go into the sync settings. I have both the Google login apk and the framework.

My notes on sync can be read here along with the apk, but this was done on a rooted device. http:// http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897380

I'm sorry to have to ask this but how do i get the files onto my kindle? I have unzipped the file and when I try to drag the apks and drop them into a folder on my kindle, nothing happens, they won't copy over from my computer.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] alkemist80:
You need some kind of file explorer on your KFHD to get to the apk and run it. I use root explorer but you can use others like es explorer or astro.

I do it like this: dropbox > KF (and run apk) or if you need in system folder > export from dropbox > root explorer
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] vzwty:
Thanks for this. Between ADW launcher and these google apps this is turning into a nice little tablet.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dmullens:
Thanks. That helped. I was able to get the sync apk. I was able to go into Gmail, go into the settings, and turn my Google Sync on. I also tried Google Play while I was at it. It looked like it worked....until I tried to download and install an app. It gave me the "Google Play has stopped working" error. After that I couldn't go back into the app. I uninstalled and reinstalled which allowed me back into the app, but after I tried to install something, it gave me the error again.

I'm unrooted, so I guess if I want the Google Play store, I'll have to root the thing. Was hoping I could get all the google stuff working without having to root. Oh well. Other than getting Google Play, I'm not sure why I would root at this point.

hi, I am a new user for Kindle Fire HD, and i tried to follow the same routine to mod the Dolphin Browsers app to get a clear carousel icon.

after i change 1 icon in the apk to 256x256, and install it again, sth strange happened.

The dolphin browser icon NEVER shows again in the Carousel.....

It never shows up again after use....

does anyone have clues that how can I make that icon appear on my carousel again?

i have tried to reinstall the original apk , newer version apk, rebooting many times, but still not appear after use.....

thanks in advance!

THANK YOU

Thank you for posting the downloads in .apk file format. I can't seem to copy over the other google apps for the rar file from my computer to my kindle fire hd, this download was the first thing that worked. I was wondering if you could post the other apps in .apk format so I could download them to my kindle. Once again thank you for giving me these files.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] siukin84:
Somehow, my system crashed and reboot by itself once, the dolphin icon shows up again in the carousel.....

But still cannot get the high Res icon working.

Thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] siukin84:
Found a solution if you encounter the disappearing of the icon in the Carousel, you just need to restart the Launcher.

I tried to stop the launcher by the Tasks in AirDroid, after stopping the launcher services and quit AirDroid, the icon appear Sharp & Clear with the changed High Res Icon!!!!

Cheer!!!

Thanks a lot for this post! & also the Icon Changing Tutorial! :good::good::good::good:

Fantastic job. I followed your instructions and got all apps up and running in 10 minutes. One app missing here is Google Music.
