[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomediumm:
This morning when i woke up i had PA 4.1 on my fassy. Being the masochist that i am, i decided to try to update to 4.2 without reading all the documentation. After bricking my phone i found out that my Class4 SD card isnt recognized by the recovery.

Does anyone know of a place where i can find a stable 4.1 JB ROM? I love PA very much, but right now i am just trying to get my phone back into a working state until i can find a store that sells a class 6 micro sd. Any ROM version would be ok as long as it works. I have thought of using this opportunity to make my own build, but that endeavor caused too much confusion for me in the past so i gave it up.

Im a bit shocked to find that there isnt a sticky with all the past stable android versions listed. Or maybe i just couldnt find it, which would be understandable since my best friend (android) just died. Im freaking out.

Hey guys, pls how can I switch kernels & really what difference does changing kernels make. Pls help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
Kernel affects mostly performance and battery. Some kernels have bln support or touch to wake support, some don't.

To change kernels

Just download

Reboot into recovery

Wipe dalvik and cache

Flash kernel

Reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
Very important: always flash a kernel over a rom (that's been rebooted at least once)

Never flash a kernel first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
Just me, but I always just go with kernel the rom flashes now.

Two reasons.

1. Have never seen such a huge difference that its really worth flashing a different kernel. Yes, there can be some difference ...good...and sometimes bad.

2. If I have trouble, I only gotta seek answers in the dev thread of that rom. Not in rom and kernel threads.

Again....that's just my preference. But I'm not trying to push my phone to the Max either. As long as its smooth and battery is decent....I'm happy. ;)

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDance:
Hi All,

I'm from India and I'm planning to get a Kindle Fire HD 8.9' tablet. A friend will be getting it over as he's coming down. I'm an advanced android user with a couple of android devices and i've got experience in rooting, installing custom roms etc.I have a few doubts regarding the tablet. This tablet will be mainly used by mom, and i plan to make it as user friendly as possible.

I've gone through the FAQs, but i'm still a little confused.

1)I've read a lot about the 2nd Gen KF HD, will this affect me a lot? Is there a high possiblity of me getting the 2nd gen if i order it from amazon?

2)Since warranty is out of question, is the build quality good? I can manage with software glitches as there will be better custom roms addressing the issues, i want to know how sturdy it is.

3)Since there is no google play, i plan to remove the whole amazon eco-zone, as it's technically of no use here in india. So I've seen some CM 10 roms, although i'm not sure if they apply to the 2nd GEN.

4) Should i buy the ad supported one and then use the KindleFree Pro app? Or will the custom roms remove the ads by themselves. I'm asking this because 15$ makes quite a lot of difference.

I do have some more questions which I'll ask later on as they come up.

Regards,

CD
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
1) You will certainly get a 2nd generation Kindle Fire if you order it directly from Amazon, but if you plan on getting an HD8.9, it will be 2nd generation regardless of where you get it.

2) Google search "Kindle Fire drop test", "Kindle Fire stress test" or something similar and you will find plenty of reviews and videos showing how solid and sturdy the tablet is. I'm sure you will find that it meets or exceeds your expectations.

3) Development is still in it's earliest stages. There are CM10 or JB based Android ROMs for both the KF2 and the HD8.9, and are very solid with a few minor bugs that are still getting worked out on the kernel level. The Google Play store can be installed to a rooted stock device rather easily, so if the bugs involved with the custom ROMs is too much of a problem, there is no real reason to instal one unless you absolutely hate the stock UI.

4) The lockscreen ads are specific to the stock Kindle Fire firmware and never on any custom ROMs, but they can be easily be removed on a rooted stock device

Hi All,

I didn't want to start a new thread, so i felt I'll post here...

I received the KFHD 8.9" today, and i started it and first thing i noticed is that i have to register it with the amazon account, without that i couldn't use the tab like a normal android device with an app drawer. I have a few questions as a first time user of a kindle:

1) I couldn't find a way to skip the registration part, is it possible to skip it?

2) If i have to register my device with amazon, will it auto update to the latest firmware? Currently i can see the device version as v8.3.user_XXXXX is this 8.3.0 or 8.3.1?

3) Initially i want to just root the device and disable the OTA updates. I assume [MENTION=4425761]soupmagnet[/MENTION]'s SoupKit will do this.(Although it's gonna be interesting as i've not used linux before)

Hope i made my doubts clear.

Regards,

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathman114:
I was in your position a few months ago. I got the tablet because of the price. They were offering it to students for $250...which was the same price as two of my books. I then found out that I couldn't even use my own e-reader. It's such a power device, but it has a terrible UI and they give you next to no control over it.

You really have no choice but to root it. After you root it, please make sure that OTAs are disabled. I spent hours trying to get my kindle back to how it was after getting caught by an OTA. A few months ago, KFfirstaid was by far the easiest root tool, but I'm not sure if it's still supported.

Once you root, you can install google play and a new launcher. That should suffice for most users.

If you want, you can install hashcode's second bootloader/TWRP . It's not that hard to follow his directions, but it's more difficult than rooting. Then you can install custom roms, but most of them are still in trial phase.

URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175"]Hashcode's instructions[/URL]

It's well worth it to root it, but it might be more difficult to deal with than you're used to.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anacondo:
Hi all. I am also planning to buy one of these to use as a regular tablet. Couldn't care less about the Amazon stuff, to be honest. I'm just interested in the bigger, higher resolution screen compared to the Nexus 7.

So is it safe to assume that, once you root, disable OTA updates, install Google Apps and a new app drawer (ADW, GoLauncher, etc) this would act like any other Android device? Or are there any other quirks to take into account?

Sorry to highjack the thread, but I felt there was some common ground here :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
Yes but I would install the CM10 ROM - the amazon stock Rom is slower and has lots of unnecessary bloat (if you do not need those features, which most do not).
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anacondo:
Thanks, but no thanks. At least not until a stable version is released.

I plan to use the stock OS and change the UI experience by using a different drawer, add some of my favorite apps and maybe even remove some of the Amazon garbage if i'm feeling adventurous, all without compromising stability, to use it as a general android tab. I was just wondering whether this would be possible, or if there's something I'm missing.

I'd like to know now, before I shell out the 300€ ;)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
It's possible. You'll need to root it. You'll find it works fine (but not particularly responsively) with stock OS and a separate launcher. If you're rooting anyway and want rid of the amazon cr!p, why not install a decent ROM? it is, of course, your choice and Hashcode's CM10 has some minor issues but I use it very happily as a daily driver.

There's no recent apps button in stock but there are ways around that in the forums.

Good luck!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anacondo:
Because i won't be the only person using it and i'd rather have a stable product that works just fine than the latest, bleeding edge in performance. Also, i'm a bit worried about voiding the warranty, so i'd rather not go too deep until things are more certain (proper roms, 100% support for all functionalities, etc).

How bad is responsiveness, though? This is the first time i hear of this, and the last thing i want is a laggy device. Are there any tests or reviews out there, with hard numbers?

Thanks!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
Let's take this step by step. To install Google play and the launcher properly you will need root. You will also need root to remove amazon crap because some of it is system crap. As with all devices, that probably voids your warranty unless you return it to stock before getting a repair done (ie so they don't find out). So I'm not sure I see the logic of the warranty issue. If you read all the rooting threads, you will gain root first time and won't have any issues.

As for responsiveness with a third party launcher on top of stock, it is still responsive and usable, but less responsive. You will also have two launchers installed because the pure Amazon apps (eg kindle) are only accessible through the Amazon launcher if you are still on stock. There are no 'hard numbers' as each person's set up will be different and, also, the benchmarks are really quite useless.

Your starting point was to use the kfhd as a regular android tablet with the stock ROM. It will act like an android tablet but one with some quirks based on the stock ROM. If you want a stock android tablet, you need to go to cm10, which requires root (which you will have already) but also a second (removeable) boot loader. Again, read the threads before doing anything and you will not have issues. Look at the issues list for cm10 on the kfhd - the only real issue now is audio input and some people complain about 3d gaming.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anacondo:
I know i'll have to root, and I know it'll void my warranty. But i'm somewhat more at peace by doing just that and staying stock (maybe even removing some apps) than completely wiping off the system and installing a 2nd bootloader. I may be wrong, but wouldn't it be simpler to revert to factory settings that way, in case I need to send it back?

I've been using android for a while now. I have used several roms with three different phones. Some were great, some others not so much. I've experienced its idiosyncrasies when things are still experimental, and I'm fine rebooting my phone every once in a while, or resetting the wi-fi because the driver is not working properly, if it's all for a greater good. But as I said before, this device won't be for me only, so I'd rather have stability and functionality at the cost of raw performance, at least until a stable rom with 100% functionality is released and the process is reasonably risk-free and fool proof. The other users of this device are non-tech savvy and I'd like to keep things as simple and smooth for them as possible.

That's why I'm interested in the quirks of the amazon firmware with another drawer app on top. What would be different from stock android? We will be using it mainly for web browsing, ebook reading, video and music reproduction, emailing and the casual game. I haven't had the chance to try one of this devices yet, so I don't know what could go wrong. Maybe the back and home buttons won't work with another drawer? You mentioned something about not having access to the recent opened app list. Those are the little things I'm interested about: they may not be show stoppers but they can make the day to day experience a little bit painful.

I've also been thinking about the ipad mini because of the ui and general ease of use, but since I can get one of these for 20eur less, with double the disk space and a far better screen, I would rather not. I just wanna make sure the kindle lives to my expectations :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
I'm not sure what else I can add without repeating what I've said. CM10 will do exactly what you want and smoothly. Amazon stock will behave as I;ve already set out. This is no contest with the iPad Mini which is too small, with a crap screen and no ability to customise.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anacondo:
How's your experience been so far? Did you root using SoupKit for Linux in the end? Was it succesfull at removing the ads with version 8.3? Are you still using stock, or moved to CM10?

I seem to be in the same situation you were before buying the kindle, so I'm quite interested :) Would you still recommend the tablet? :)

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
Hi guys,

Seems my One X doesn't like the USB port anymore. I'm guessing it's a USB hardware issue but I figured I would post before I call ATT and ask for a new one.

Here's the problem, I'm unable to charge or use USB, either with the phone booted or mounted in recovery. I've tried the official charger, several other chargers and different cables. Nothing seems to work. I plugged it in last night to charge and that was fine. I think what might have caused it is that I tried to charge it in my car with a charger and after plugging that in, my phone rebooted. Since then, nothing has recognized my device (for charging or computers).

Any thoughts or ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
sounds like hardware to me bud. bring it in to at&t
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Wait, does the LED blink when charging? I used a generic charger, and it did the same thing. Then I switched to an official motorola charger, and it worked fine. Now I found an old HTC charger that I got from a friend..and back to normal.

nope, no light whatsoever. not recognized by my pc, my brother's or my transformer prime. even in recovery. USB seems to be fried all around :(

Sounds like a driver issue if yu could still charge. Did you try it with any other computers?

Cm doesn't show it. Stock does. Last 4 of zvb 1690. Zv9 is 12??.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Thanks, but now I am even more confused.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Cm ROMs show unknown for baseband. But any stock zvb rom will show the zvb radio as the the baseband. So regardless which radio you put on a stock zvb ROM, it will say it's running the zvb radio. Even though you might have the zv9 radio installed. So far the zv9 radio works on JB, but kills WiFi.

Is a radio glitch we just have to deal with.

How that makes better sense.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Makes sense....so since I am on JB with working WiFi I know I am good.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Yup. You should be. Also, from what I've been reading the last few weeks, zv9 radio seems to give everybody fits running stock JB or CM.

[HTC Droid DNA] Spaded21:
Is there a fix or work around to the slow charging issue? If I use the stock charger and cable that came with the DNA I am fine, but my OEM Thunderbolt charger (which looks the same) and my car charger I got from Amazon (which I understand may be a knock off but had worked before on the DNA) or any other charger give me a slow charging notification.

This is a pretty big deal for me since I use my phone a lot for work. If I am in the car my phone is not charging fast enough to keep up with drain from the navigation.

I am rooted, s-off, twrp, and running Viper ROM 1.2.0. I understand HTC implemented this "feature" with the latest update. I couldn't find any info about a fix so are people just dealing with it?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
You can flash a kernel like crpalmers or zarboz's kernels with fast charging implemented. But what I recommend is buying a USB charger that wont have that issue.

Take your phone somewhere that they have a Nexus 7 or Asus tablet set up on display with the regular charger hooked up.

They sell the chargers lots of places, the Nexus 7 will be best both spec wise and it comes with a pretty nice micros USB cable but I see the transformer prime charger in more places to walk in and purchase retail brick and mortar.They're solid chargers that will deliver the power your phone will allow. You just have to be careful when using it when charging with fast charging enabled it gets warm because it's running that current through their. The OEM charger only runs about 70% of the rated current through there.

Best Buy has a RocketFish 12volt car charger micro USB with an extra USB slot for a second USB cable and device. I almost never use car chargers but I was actually impressed with the quality of this charger. Also HotTips makes a charger that's rated at 5.0 amps and I believe as long as it's not a cheap crumby USB cable it will work fine. A lot of times it's the cable itself not the charger, so I would try taking your USB cable from home to work and plugging it up to that same USB charging plug and see if you get the same slow charging icon.
[HTC Droid DNA] Spaded21:
Thanks for the thorough response. I tried to do some testing combining different cables and charges and the only one that consistently gives me slow charging is the car charger (which worked fine previously). I have a Transformer Prime charger and Droid Razr charger that both worked fine. My Thunderbolt charger worked when I tried this time but has given me the slow charging notification in the past.

I may have to pick up one of the car chargers you mentioned because that is the most important. My phone is running great otherwise with Viper ROM and the kernel that comes with it so I'd rather not change it.
