[7" Kindle Fire HD General] crankyy:
I've made a little progress, I tried the drivers above but the only way I could make them install was to edit the android_winusb.inf but they detected the device as a Samsung Android Phone, I tested with KFU and still no joy, so I uninstalled.

I then decided to follow the Amazon step-by-step guide (https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html)

This gave me the newest drivers I've had, I then ran:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader

My KF2 went into Fastboot and windows installed a driver so I then saw an ADB device in Device Manager.

However KFU still will not run fbmode and I definatly have root access as I have the ability to push files to the root/change permissions in system etc.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] onemeila:
When you say "KFU“ I hope you do not mean kindle fire utility. That program/tool is for the original kindle fire, you are lucky you have not gotten it to work. It will definitely brick your device should you successfully run it.

Follow Up

crankyy,

This is why I keep asking "what are you trying to accomplish exactly"?

If I know, then we can give you exact step-by-step, thus get you back in

business. Onemeila is correct "I hope you do not mean Kindle Fire Utility....".

This utility will Brick your Kindle Fire 2, it was designed for the Kindle Fire HD 7"

ONLY. Do not attempt to PUSH the system.img from KFU, it will permanently

Brick your Kindle. So, what are you trying to accomplish, exactly?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] heartgrenade1234:
i'm a noob, please go easy on me. (this is my first post)

i rooted my kindle 2 days ago with qemu and bin4ry root, then installed twrp recovery. being an idiot, i wiped the system before i put the cm10 zip on the kindle, so i had no os. i tried sideloading the cm10 file onto the kindle, but my computer would not recognize the ADB, even though it had drivers installed and was working previously when the kindle was in the normal boot mode.

i read in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2117224) that you can put your kindle into fastboot mode from the twrp command prompt, so i did that, thinking that the adb drivers would work if it was in fastboot mode. they did not.

i have tried installing the adb drivers through the kfu, the android sdk, and every other way i have seen. when my kindle is plugged in, device manager calls it "otter2-prod-4" i have the fastboot with the blinking green light. i do not have a fastboot cable, though one is on its way. if i could get it to show up in adb, i could at least get it to boot into recovery and start again from there, but none of the methods i've seen are working for adb driver installation. can anyone help?

p.s. i am running windows 8 x64

adb reboot bootloader

After I run adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader" it will put KF2 into fastboot mode and try to install usb drivers again and then fastboot can't find the device. The device is visible as a otter2-prod-04 in device manager. I've got windows 7 installed. Any idea appreciate it.

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
If it still says otter2 then the drivers arent installed. Try updating the drivers to the ones in my signature, I believe I added kf2 support to them.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] trikess:
Thanks for that, I had to install drivers again when I was in fastboot mode and yours worked great. Appreciate your reply.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] miztaziggy:
Hi, this issue sounds just like the one I am having.

I have tried your drivers with no luck.

My KF2 shows up in device manager as OTTER2-PROD-04

And:

USB\VID_1949&PID_000A&REV_0100

USB\VID_1949&PID_000A

I took your drivers and copied them over the drivers in the programme files \ amazon \ drivers folder, rebooted and reconnected but still shows up as this OTTER2

:(
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
You don't copy them, you install them in the device manager. If you're running Windows 8 or Windows 7 x64 then you need to disable MSN driver signature enforcement first.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spycedtx:
I believe you still need a 3rd party app, like go locker, for lwp on lock screens. I know go has some, but I'm sure others do too. The downside is you're stuck with what they offer to work with their lockscreens, rather than being able to use any lwp.

I'm having a problem transferring my files with adb sideload in twrp. When I type "adb sideload <filename> to transfer my file in TWRP, it says in cmd "sideload 100%" and then on my phone it says 'Complete" and right underneath that it says 'Failed.'' I don't understand why it keeps failing because it says complete but the file never transfers to the phone. Anybody has any idea?

Hey guys, I've been having problems with random shutdowns with the new update and the only way to prevent it that I found was by rooting the phone. The problem with that is the camera doesn't work properly. It shows no picture when you open it up. The root method I used was the CWM UCLE5 ICS root. Anybody know of any way to root the phone and keep the camera working normally?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RewinX:
So yes, as the title suggests, I want to move my default app install location to my MicroSD card. I've seen lots of tutorials on how to move the default install place to the internal SD card, but nothing has said how to move them to the MicroSD. Thanks for your help in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Are you sure you saw tutorials showing how to get info on the "internal" sd card? They normally go there. You sure it wasn't "external", that's the same as the micro sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
because you can't... or at least last time i asked you can't. you can put your media in the microsd card though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Actual you can. One way is to go to manage apps then select an app. There you will see a move to sdcard option. The easiest way by far though is to use this handy little app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidsail.dsapp2sd&hl=en

You can also use it to set the SDcard as the default save location. Some apps won't play nice if installed to SD though. Meaning they take forever to load and there widgets won't work. Why you would need to do this with a phone that has 2gigs of storage is sorta beyond me. The OP must have a metric crap ton of apps. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
...not sure if things have changed since then, that was earlier this year.... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
It is indeed moving them to the internal SD. Nice catch. I honestly never bothered to look at it. Just assumed SD was the external. Well you know what they say about assuming. Thanks for the catch.:laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
The best help I can manage is a suggestion to avoid this. There is a good reason it wasn't implemented, more than one. Unless you like your apps to dramatically slow down loading times and disappear on boot, that is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RewinX:
Yes, I did a bit further research and found a way, but it required making your phone think that the external SD was your internal SD, and I just thought that might be too much. Now that you say that it makes it slower, I'm going to abandon the project entirely. I have enough space on my internal SD to store my apps, and I can live with only storing media on my external. Thanks everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RewinX:
I don't so much have a metric ton of apps, rather a metric ton of spare kernels, nandroids, and rom updates.

Complete guide on how to Decompile/Recompile Apks with APKTOOL

This Tutorial is for Windows Only

Apktool and all .bat files outlined in this tutorial have been uploaded here for your convenience

Requirements

- 7zip / Winrar (or similar)

- Apktool - (Package link above)

Notes

- I use .bat file to make the whole process alot quicker ...

- Copying Apktool files (aapt.exe, apktool.bat, apktool.jar, baksmali.jar, zipalign.exe) into C:/windows will allow you to use the .bat files anywhere on your computer without the need for apktool in the same directory

Step 1 - First you need to install the framework files so the apktool can use them to decompile other apks in the rom that depend on the framework

- Make a text document and rename it "Install Framework.bat"

- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code

CMD /K apktool if framework-res.apk

- with your framework-res.apk in the folder run the Install Framework.bat file and it should output

Framework installed to: C:\Users\USER\apktool\framework\1.apk

Step 2 - Decompiling (we will be decompiling framework-res.apk in this tutorial)

- First make a copy of the apk you wish to decompile and name it backup.apk (this will be used later)

- Make a text document and rename it "Decompile.bat"

- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to decompile)

CMD /K apktool d framework-res.apk

- with your apk in the same folder run the Decompile.bat file and it create a folder that you can edit as you see fit

Step 3 - Recompiling (we will be Recompiling framework-res.apk in this tutorial)

- Make a text document and rename it "Compile.bat"

- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to recompile)

del almostdone.apk
CMD /K apktool b framework-res almostdone.apk

- Run the Compile.bat file and it create an apk called almostdone.apk (if you get errors you most likely made a change which broke the apk)

- Open both almostdone.apk and backup with 7zip or Winrar

- Drag all the contents of almostdone.apk except for AndroidManifest.xml into backup.apk and replace existing files

- Now make a text document and rename it "Zipalign.bat"

- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to recompile)

del framework-res.apk
zipalign.exe -v 4 backup.apk framework-res.apk

- Run the Zipalign.bat file and it create the finished apk

[General Questions and Answers] Ryu Hayabusa:
Greetings,

I know it is bad practice because I read about it on the forums and ran a lot of Google research but I would like to kill an application automatically at a specific time, this is temporary though.

It is a work phone, so I am not allowed to root it.

Would there be a way, without the phone rooted, to use Tasker or a way to ask a script to use the Task Manager of Android to "Exit" an application?

Is there another way to do that as well?

I tried to use Tasker to kill the application, but whenever I try to launch it after it has been closed, the telephone displays a black screen and I have to reboot it.

I tried to use the Terminal Emulator as well and the kill function but it says "Operation not permitted".

Thanks a lot to all for your time and help.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManBearrrPig:
in my oppinion you should get l9. l7 does not have enough ram and single core is aufull. you have to consider the fact that you will have the phone at least 2 years. samsung will launch 8 core in 2013 and you will have a single core with adreno 200? in my mind l9 is barely good enough. i will wait another 6 months because i belive that in this time 4 core phones will be normal and cheap.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
There are two things you need to consider if you are interested in running custom ROMs like CyanogenMod.

The first, and most important, is whether you can unlock the bootloader, which will allow you to use custom kernels. This is vital for using custom roms. if you can't unlock the bootloader, you can pretty much forget about custom ROMs.

the second is the internals. The best supported chips are those made by Qualcomm. anything else, unless it's an extremely popular phone like the Samsung Galaxy S range, will always have issues in custom ROMs. The clearest example of this is the decision by Sony to NOT upgrade their DUAL CORE phones with ST-Ericsson chips to Jellybean, but they WILL upgrade their SINGLE core phones with Qualcomm chips to Jellybean.

It was the reason I chose the single core Xperia J over the dual core Xperia U (both the same price) as my upgrade from my LG Optimus One. A few weeks after I purchaced the Xperia J, Sony announced that phones with ST-Ericsson chips will not be upgraded, but those with Qualcomm chips will be upgraded.

Concerning the first point, Sony is currently the best at providing an official way to unlock your phone. I REALLY wanted to stay loyal to LG, but since there is no way to unlock any of the new LG phones, I was 'forced' to go with Sony, a decision I haven't regretted one bit.

My advice, since you are on a budget, is to go with the Sony Xperia J. It has the same chip as the L7 but can be officially unlocked and will have excellent support (by me). The L9 will definitely have almost zero custom ROM support since it doesn't have a Qualcomm chip.

I'm also from Singapore, and I just bought the p760 from M1.

---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 AM ----------

The issue is the Xperia J is disgustingly laggy. I've tried it out for myself in a Sony store and it was absolutely horrible. Lag at the homescreen, app drawer etc.

And even though it'll have dev support, there's only so much you can push a 1ghz single core and 512 mb of RAM to do.

I've got some more recent commits merged for the Tuna, like the input (touchscreen and buttons) as well as the panel, but the display still fails to initialize. I also merged all the necessary Android kernel bits. When the display finally initializes I can check to see if the touchscreen works and buttons as well. The commits I've merged so far had a working display and touchscreen on the 3.0 kernel, but something broke while porting it up to the 3.4 kernel; but once that's fixed, we should have those things working again just as if this were the 3.0 kernel. From then on, it'll just be merging all the newer Tuna-related code from where we stand now to that the latest Tuna-code from Google and Samsung on the mr1 branch.
