[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdeno888:
I've been spending a few hours trying to fix this - when upgrading from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 either OTA or via sideloading through ADB I get an error saying "assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/PlusOne.apk" has failed and I am unable to complete upgrade.

I tried downloading 4 different plusone.apk's and none have rectified this problem. I also tried removing the check for plusone.apk from the updater script and re-zipping the files to no avail.

Can anyone help? Either with a correct PlusOne.apk I can put in system/app or by explaining what I can do to update without resettingback to factory first?

I am on 4.1.1, JRO03D. I converted PlusOne into a user app after I got the nexus using TB and have since converted it back to a system app and placed various PlusOne.apk's in the system/app folder.

I APPRECIATE ANY HELP!!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzespresso:
not sure if I will be a big help, but try to download the 4.1.2 OTA upgrade, and put in N7, then hoping you have CWM if not, just install Clockwork recovery if you have not done so, then boot in clockwork recovery, once you are clockwork recovery, make sure "signature check" is disabled, and install from zip option, point where you put 4.1.2 OTA upgrade file, and then reboot.

I am thinking that error you get most likely signature check since you converted to user app and then converted back to system app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootbrain:
If you have removed any system apps the upgrade will fail.

Download this and flash from custom recovery

I am trying to do it through CWM now... if I try the second option, downloading and flashing from the file will I lose all my data and apps, correct? I am trying to avoid having to restore everything.

Thank you both for your help!

Just tried this with signature verification disabled and still get the error about "assert failed: apply_patch_check yada yada yada PlusOne.apk"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fozzie:
If you replaced the .apk, did you try removing (after backing up) the .odex?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdeno888:
I am not sure where that .odex lives. I did a search in system and its sub directories and didn't find one for google +.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdeno888:
This worked!!! I downloaded the version with the code removed to check files that had been failing me on google +. Thank you very much!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttg:
I had the same issue and just like zdeno888 got it solved by the right package... on the url above INSIDE one of the messages there's a modified version without verification scripting.

THIS IS NOT THE VERSION POSTED ON THE FIRST POST!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.knuckle:
i am running stock but rooted and unlocked. when i did the unlock or root it installed a basic version on cwm, i think a custom one someone had created for the nexus 7.

i cannot get this sorted. first i managed to get the ota by clearing the google framework data a few times until it offered but it the failed to install saying something about 'failed to verify whole-file signature'

due to this i downloaded the zip i found on, i think, androidpolice and booted to recovery. that failure said something like 'assert failed:apply-patch-check gmail.apk'

i then found on this thread -

but this also came back with a failure, i think it was the gmail one mentioned above.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logic_:
The OP from that thread took down the link, the only one in his post is now the same zip you already had.

This is the file with checks disabled.

Use with caution tho, only flash this is stock rom and kernel.

great, that sorted it so thanks very much.

i presume you have done the update, apart from the rotation are you finding much difference?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logic_:
Little to none :)

Most changes in this one were under the hood, as they say.

Can anyone help me with this?

Flashing a custom rom or any firmware fixes this... If you dont want to, download a custom rom, extract it, browse to /system/app/ and find what apk you uninstalled (by comparing to the systemapp folder in your phone)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmaziyaa:
thanks zakooz for the help.

I took the deodexed rom for instance and compared it with my phone.Following were missing in my phone:

superuser

signin

samsungapps

googlequicksearchbox

gmail

fmradio

browser

But none seems to be related with 3g and after installing them i still encounter the same problem(some of the apps cannot be installad, dont know why)

Any further ideas?

Thanks

Reflash MODEM and 3g icon will appear /modem of your country obviously there are 3 packages in the multipackage of a default rom only flash the Modem package with odin
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farrukhafzal:
carlos9545 is right........get the firmware directly from here>>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1822109

and flash only the modem using odin.....

If you dont know how to use odin, search it......on XDA.

.......

BTW you should not have deleted these:

1.

SnsAccount.apk

because it is related with Accounts Sync Facebook, Twitter, etc (well if u r not interested in these (Facebook,Twitter), better delete it)

2.

superuser

because without this you will not get root acess in applications which require root access...VERY IMPORTANT

3.

signin.apk

is related to samsung account

4.

browser

delete this only if you have any other browser installed

And one more thing....Click Thanks button if i helped you

I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD with ADW Launcher EX running alongside the default Launcher.

When I am using ADW I cannot open the Kindle app; I was wondering if anyone else experiences this or what I can try to fix this.

I would use just ADW as my default launcher but it would make my Kindle Fire HD less of a Kindle without my books. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tristanlogd:
I noticed this as well when using Go Launcher. I also am unable to find Magazines which I use a lot, so I have to switch back to the normal launcher.

I second this question, anyone get the Kindle App working?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WillysJeepMan:
Nope, no luck either. This is one of the reasons why I'm keeping my KFHD unrooted but use ADW Launcher EX... I like the flexibility.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chelle01:
I downloaded the kindle app from the market and last night got all my books in there, BUT today when I tried to open it it said it was not installed. I don't know what happened or how to fix it yet. I am trying, will keep you posted! This is bugging me, I want to get to my books without launching in kindle. I am using go launcher hd.

Update: I can not get that app to work, I can not even un install it.

But, I went to the market and installed "kindle shortcut" there are 2 kindle widgets, make sure you pick the right one, it is the second one. I am using go launcher hd. Go to add widgets. Click it, click the kindle shortcut widget. It will load all your books, you will see the name of the book at the top, check the box that says use art work, it will use the book cover. This will add the book on your home screen page. You can then open the book, with go launcher it asked me which launcher IT wanted to use the first time only, after that it directly opens your book, and to the exact place you were reading. The only bummer is you have to do it for each book, add widget, click book name, pick next book, check use art work, etc. Hope this helps, at least I can get to my books without launching kindle now! I'm thinking maybe make a folder to put them in?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chelle01:
The name of the app in the market is Kindle widget, on my kindle it says kindle shortcut.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chelle01:
Ok, I could not stand taking up 3 dock pages with my books and you can not make a folder for widgets, only apps. I did find an app called widget folder, it is specifically for widgets. I downloaded it, added each book shortcut, still one at a time. Now all my books are under the one app, not scattered over 3 dock pages. In order to change the name press and hold, you can not re name within the app. So far no problems. Although you can not get to the cloud, it still puts all your books in one place so you do not have to use kindle launcher just to get to books. Hope it helps until the devs get it all sorted out.

Does anyone know where to I should upload an ebook file from my PC in order to view it in the Amazon Kindle app?

Tried Documents and Books folders with no success.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Send it to your kindle email. It will show up on your Amazon account and be pushed to all your devices that have the kindle app. They will even format it for you if you put the correct command line in the subject, however I can't think of it off the top of my head.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yak22:
The Kindle app treats "books" differently from documents. I am pretty sure the Documents folder should load in the Kindle App as long as they are the right format.

Books are in: MOBI, AZW, and PRC

Documents can be: TXT or PDF

The best format is to convert ebooks to Mobi or AZW.

I do not know exactly where the Kindle app is looking, but I would actually recommend and application: Calibre (just Google "Calibre ebook"). It doesn't officially support Amazon Kindle Fire HD, but it does support Kindle Fires right now. There are other apps you can use, but I'm assuming you are loading non-Amazon ebooks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyth:
Use Calibre to do the upload. It will convert the file and place it in the correct folder in the right format. The document folder is the default for kindle books. The latest version recognizes my Fire HD and uploads flawlessly.

I was able to get that first one you mentioned to work, and and in my opinion it's the one you want. I am For it to work you need to change the directory to "/mnt/sdcard/Books/Sidecars". The only problem is that you need to have a "coverssmall" directory within that to have cover art for your books that contains the files from "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files/small" on in it. Normally for that I'd do something like "ln -s /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files/small /mnt/sdcard/Books/Sidecars/coverssmall" but the fat32 sdcard won't allow siblings so I just copied the directory over and renamed it. It's not a perfect solution since I'll have to do it every single time I get a new book to have cover art, but surely one of the gurus here can think of a better way to do it.

Can't read anymore Amazon books on KFHD. Help, please!

My KFHD is rooted, with perfectly working ADW launcher and Google Play with various Google apps (but no way to install Maps, for some reason: Google play says it's incompatible with my device, while I keep reading here that it is done by several people ).

I had the problem described above, being unable to get to my Kindle books from ADW. The described Kindle widgets (or shortcuts) refuse to install on my tablet. I tried to install the Kindle reader apk I am using on my Galaxy II phone, and it apparently installed, accepted my Amazon login, even displayed sone - not all - of my books, but when I try to open a book, it just exits back to the ADW home screen. I also tried disinstalling it via Titanium Backup and reinstalling, but still it wont open any book.

And switching to the uriginal Amazon environment, I saw that the original reader disappeared with all my books!

So, I got an Amazon tablet unable to read Amazon books! Somebody knows how to get back the original reader? Or has any other useful suggestion? Thanks everybody!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayaxxa:
Are you able to return to the stock launcher and open the books there? You should have an icon in the drawer, in german it's named "Startseite", don't know its name in english but i think you should find it.

If you renamed the kindle-otter file, renaming to .apk and rebooting should restore the original state.

Sorry for the delayed answer. Yes, I am able to go back to the original launcher, but there is no trace in the carousel of my books (and they were there before un-installing and re-installing the kindle apk) . They still are in the sd/books folder, but if I try to open manually I get the message “sorry no available application “.

I never renamed an otter file, and anyway can't find it in system/apps. And I can't find a startseite Icon in the drawer. It translates start side,but nothing similar is in the drawer.

More suggestions or explanations?Thank you.
