[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorlin:
I did not use a custom launcher.

If you want to change the icon, you can open the apk with e.g. winrar. The issue I apparently had, was that after altering the apk file, the application is not properly signed anymore. So it does not install. So I found a way to do this.

Anyway, as far as I learned during this process, this can also be used to sign whatever you like and make it install on your device, including soffware not legally obtained. Therefore, I would prefer not to share this solution. Sorry.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
If you want change the icons of one app, you can decompile this, change the icon and recompile.

This will work.

I use this method for some apps :)

Change the Maxthon icon with stock Browser icon is simple :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
I always forget about that method as it's just easier to use a launcher :p
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Sure! :)

But, if someone like sense and he will change an icon and he have to change launcher, is better use this method :p

I've been rooted on my kfhd7 for a month now and have been using launcher ex on it. all has been good other than a few settings not working, and recently, the kindle has become laggy. mostly noticeable when using the sphere interface on the home screen.

thinking about following the 2nd bootloader procedure and flashing a custom rom. I'm on version 7.3.0.

what are the pros and cons for this?

thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5163087:
It depends on the ROM that you are going to flash, and how you use your Kindle currently.

If you use Amazon services a lot, then I'd suggest flashing Kinology. This is similar to the setup you have now, where you customize everything via a launcher, and if you want to go back to Amazon services you can do this via a stock launcher shortcut. You do get better battery life and performance with the device and Play Store apps in Kinology. However you may have some issues with Prime videos (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

If you don't really use Amazon services, then feel free to flash any of the ROMs based off of Hashcode's build. This basically makes your device a whole new Android tablet. All built in Amazon stuff is gone, but you can still get some off them back via Amazon's apps in the Play Store. In my opinion though, you don't get the same experience than you do with the built in features that is on stock and Kinology. Everything is way smoother in terms of performance and battery life overall (better than Kinology too in some areas), but there are still some bugs being worked on (i.e HDMI, Camera, Headphone volumes, etc).

In general, here are some of the pros and cons of flashing a custom ROM:

Pros:

Better battery life

Better performance

More customization

Google Play apps work better

Cons:

Warranty voided (you can always flash back to stock to get it back. If you hard bricked your device though, you might be out of luck)

You lose access to Amazon features on the Kindle (with Kinology you still have some (if not all) of these features)

Deal breaker for me is no text to speech in kindle app on cm10.1
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhodri11:
thanks a lot for the reply. I rarely use amazon at all. Only thing I use it for is shopping and the free daily app so will have a think about what to use.

have taken a look at the bootloader and having issues recognising the device when typing fastboot so will wait for an answer to this before I go any further

thanks again
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinzman420:
You really need a factory cable to be safe. They are really easy to make if you know how to use a soldering gun. Or you can find them fairly cheap onlone i think amazon has one for 3 dollars. But if you want to try anyway you can use root toolbox lite and use the rebooter option to reboot bootloader. This will put you into fastboot.

Here's a copy of root toolbox lite http://db.tt/KNehlyNf.

I would highly recommend putting what rom you want on your sdcard before installing second bootloader. This way if you cant boot the system only recovery you will have something to flash. Also would highly recommend the factory cable before doing any flashing or installing recovery. You just don't know what will happen. Hope this helps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhodri11:
great. i have already got toolbox lite so may give it a go. if it goes wrong i can always buy the factory cable from amazon ( I am very impatient when it comes to thing like this!)

so assuming root toolbox lite works and puts me into fastboot. will then follows the instructions and will be sure to put the rom on the sdcard beforehand.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinzman420:
I always put my rom on first. Ive had to restore my kindle more than once and almost every time i can only boot into recovery after installing recovery. The directions are easy for installing recovery. My factory cable has saved my ass plenty of times highly recommend getting one.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhodri11:
okay, so I have started following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

I am on step 2 and have just finished doing the backups on my kindle.

I have also downloaded freedom-boot.img and TWRP recovery.img.

Next step is is saying to download FireFlash v1.1.

I was of the understanding Fireflash doesnt work with my kindle (using 7.3.0) and that I would have to carry out the bootloader procedure through fastboot etc?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinzman420:
I havnt used the automatic tool for installing recovery i used this thread and did it manualy. Here is the original thread on the 2nd bootloader http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37472472

Step 2-4 is not needed instead put the rom you want on the sdcard.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhodri11:
Sorry if I am making you repeat things but is there any point me having to boot into fastboot mode if I am going to install and run the Fireflash apk? Still unable to get past the "waiting for device" part on fastboot to test it out. I have downloaded all the necessary files and I am ready to flash
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinzman420:
Well personally I don't know anything about the fire flash tool. But in order to get fastboot to recognize your device try going into control panel with the kindle in fast boot and cord plunged into USB on PC. Now go into control panel and go to hardware devices. Now mannualy install the drivers for your kindle. Should be able to recognize it.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] hspilkov:
Hi there! I'm sorry if there already is such a thread but I couldn't find anything quite like this.

I bought this i9305N second hand and it had the famous IMEI problem 00/02. I went to a service center and there they were able to restore the IMEI of the device. And the phone was able to connect to the 3G as normal but not the 4G network. I've never seen the 4G working on this phone and have no idea what to try. What I tried was:

different modem firmwares.

flashed CM 10.1 and again tried those modems.

tried to set the phone to lte only via the *#197328640# code.

I think that in Sweden this phone is supposed to work on only the tele2 and telenor 4g network. I've tried sim cards from both operators.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Does anyone have an idea what is happening and what I can try?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
Just out of curiosity, have you tried cards confirmed to be on 4G-enabled contracts? I had to call Tele2 and ask them to change my contract over to a 4G one before I would receive 4G speeds. Another silly thing you could check is if the phone is actually connecting to the 4G APN, for Tele2 this would be 4g.tele2.se.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] hspilkov:
Hi! This is the thing! I havent found a card with confirmed 4G on it. I was told that sim cards on contract have 4G enabled on them. I was wondering if there is some sort of a tool to scan networks around and see information about them like what freq and speed etc... I am using my comviq card now in the phone with the apn that you mentioned and that was set automatically as the phone is with the tele2 firmware. The most brutal thing was when I went to the tele2 office and asked for a 4g activated sim to try on my phone and they said that they don't have any!!!! I went to the telenor shop and when I asked for a demo sim card with 4G so that I can test my phone and he gave me a 3G prepaid card. After 10 minutes of changing settings and stuff on my phone I asked him if that card has 4G on it at all he said - no, its just a 3G. I am going a bit of topic but my point is that it is extremely hard for me to find out where the problem is.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:

Hi.

I live in the "kära grannlandet" Finland and i had to call my operator to put my i9305 as my active phone.

(They change the ownership of the phone on their computer)

I bought my phone 2hand but it was factory sealed new. operator locked to the same operator that i use.

The phone was "active" to somebody else without 4G so thats why it didnt work for me.

Hope this helped at all..

Lycka till!

My friend had similar issues with his S2, I went into the phone options menu using the #xx# number and the phone itself was not set to lte mode. I am sure you can find the menu codes somewhere on the forums as I don't have them memorized. It is worth checking if you have not done so.

[Galaxy S 4 General] zaki aziz:
using LTE not right decision for this moment, due m'sia telco's still not get fully support yet. If u use LTE smartphones, u might facing with "no network" issue.Most of telco open the LTE coverage at some location for testing purpose..When u choose network mode on ur device as "LTE/WCDMA/GSM preferred" u can't see any signal. That's mean if u use for call u must be chg network mode as "GSM only" or u need use internet u must chg.network mode to "WCDMA only".

M'sian telco's not ready for LTE smarphones yet.That's why when u check on any telco device promo, they're didn't put LTE device on their promo..

Comparison S4 with Butterfly, there is to diff. about mobile hi-tec.S4 the highest tech in processor build history.Samsung might lack with plastic body but the most important what kind of monster inside..that's why i've choose octa cores.Then, i'll waitin for next Galaxy S5..
