Wallpaper fix

Hi again

Partial success. It reverts to black screen on next start up, but will load a wallpaper which lasts until next start up. Any suggestions? Sorry to be such a pain.

That's weird, the wallpaper should stay the same between reboots...I know the file that the wallpaper that is chosen is stored in, maybe setting it to have read only access like on the kf1's would fix that problem. I know on the kf 1's we had to or it would reset the wallpaper when the lock screen would load up. I don't remember the file offhand, but I do know its in a folder in the /data/data folder, maybe its com.android.settings, I'll have to look it up.

Hows it going,

having trouble wih live wallpapers and nova launcher, hope someone can help.

I have a rooted kfhd7 with 7.4.6 on it. I ran the script did a wipe cache and tried to intsall live wallpaper picker. It installed and i could pick a live wallpaper. But several reboots later livewallpaper picker wont work. My live wall paper is still running but i cant change it. Everytime i go into to now it just tells me live wallpaper picker has stopped.

If i uninstall live wallpaper picker do i lose my current live wallpaper?? or is that just for selecting it???

How do i uninstal the live wallpaper picker? do i just delete livewallpaper.apk from system/app?

I also installed holo and adw launcher with kindle first aide, i dont know how to uninstall them, could they be effecting it? Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I don't know if the wallpaper will change without the live wallpaper picker installed, it shouldn't if its a wallpaper from a separate apk. You just have to delete the wallpaper picker in the system/app folder, same goes for adw and holo, they are stored there too, idk if they are interfering or not, you can just try it and see what happens. The wallpaper picker shouldn't be crashing though, sounds to me more like its getting less compatible with Amazon's os or something. Before I switched to cm 10.1, I had tried 2 different live wallpaper pickers, so if you are using the one in kindle free, I think there is another one around in the forums you could use, I don't remember where I got it though, I may have stuck an outdated kf1 version on it for all I know, or maybe I got it off a utility.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nowthenn:
Hows it going

I deleted the live wallpaper picker and rebooted the kfhd. The live wallpaper stays working on it alright .(vant be changed though)

I deleted the wallpaper picker again and then copied it back in the system app, changed the rights and it is working again for the moment. I didnt install the app i just copied it in. I could go back in after i copied the apk file and change the live wallpaper.

I will see how long it lasts for this time.

I am happy enough now that i changed the live wallpaper to what i want with it now.

I couldnt see holo launcher in system app. I installed it from kindle first aid. I can see adw in system app but i have been using it a bit now. I couldnt see holo launcher in system app to delete it but it is installed and running. I woul dlike to delete that.

What other folder is that in? I cant uninstall it from installed apps.

Cheers for the reply
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
It has to be in the system app folder, if you are using es file explorer, you should see icons for apk files, that being said, it is probably named something else, so look for it by icon, once you are absolutely sure its the right apk, delete it. Reason you can't delete it from outside of things like es file explorer is because the system partition is mounted in read-only mode, and apps can change that to read and write, but either that doesn't affect the entire system, or the system is designed for it to work in read only mode so it probably doesn't let you attempt it if it is in read write mode, I dunno which. If the file came with kffa then u could peruse it and see what its called, unless it either downloads it from a server or renames the file when it pushes it onto the kindle, in which case you would need to know a bit of batch scripting to figure it out, but batch is usually easy enough to figure out without an instruction guide.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicanomaly:
In the KFFirstAide > holo > app folder, the stored files for the program are:

AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3.apk

com.citc.wallbase-1.apk

com.mobint.hololauncher.hd-1.apk

com.mobint.locker-1.apk

LiveWallpapersPicker.apk

At least, that's what they're called in my version of KFFirstAide. So try looking for those apks, especially com.mobint.hololauncher.hd-1.apk

Thank you

I did the same on Windows and it worked.
[MENTION=5112866]stunts513[/MENTION] and sonicanomaly

Thank you I have some wallpapers now !

I uninstalled the fix on Linux and reinstalled it, but with no success.

But I have now a small problem: I lost the list of launchers installed on the KHFD. Normally, when touching "home", I had a choice between launchers. This screen does not appear anymore. I can still choose a launcher by going to the list of apps.

The reason might be the following: I installed the fix on Windows.

Then later, not remembering the backup file was on Windows, to try solve the problem with the wallpapers, I used the script on Linux using option 2. But the backup file was not there, and after a while I unplugged the device and after that I lost the launcher menu.

It's not a big deal, but if there is a solution, I will try to implement it.

I don't know if My Kindle Wallpaper helped to solve the problem, but I had installed on the KFHD.

So thank you again for the help.

Problem solved:I install a newlauncher and I got the menu again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
For future reference, to get that menu back all you need to do is goto whatever launcher is set as default, and goto the apps running list and find it, from there just hit clear defaults. This might not be the most accurate explanation, but I don't run Amazon's os, so its kinda hard to remember where everything is.

Stuck in the process

Hi, I tried running the script but it seems to stop at this point:

I: Loading resource table...

I: Loaded.

I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...

I: Regular manifest package...

I: Decoding file-resources...

I: Decoding values */* XMLs...

I: Done.

I: Copying assets and libs...

I kept the window open for nearly an hour but nothing changed. I can see that the apk is copied and some directories are added, but that is it. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Strange, I don't know why it would hang on decompiling the apk, though the decompilation process uses java, that the only thing I can think of so maybe something is up with your java? You could try decompiling it manually but my script usually deletes file when starting up or ending, so you'd have to know what you are doing.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I think you were right. I tried it with another pc where the automatic java update is enabled and your script worked without any problems!

Re: Wallpaper Fix

Im So Nervous to do this to my KFHD 7". i dont want a brick and i dont want to buy an FB Cable. does it work for OS v 7.4.6?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yes, even if it didn't it wouldn't brick if it was incompatible. Also i replied to your message in more detail BTW.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
If you use Hashcode's method, it will work well on 7.4.6. If you use the FireFlash method with 7.4.6, there is a high probability of bootlooping. In that case you will need a fastboot cord and Kindle Fire FirstAide.

It should, its made in such a way that even if it wouldn't work with it it wouldn't brick or anything, it would just send a unmodified version of the file back to the kindle.

Can anyone make this script as a zip for TWRP? It would be perfect :cool:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
It would require me to release an update ever time they change the is, for every device I might add, would be a plan downloading 3 huge files on my PC to pull them and do it, though I will mention I am planning a 3.0 release where it will allow you to run the script from twrp, which is useful for the restore function if it happens to brick. Right now I am trying to learn a bit about making a ROM sorta, and am compiling a kernel for the kindle on my PC, that will probably take a while given how old my PC is, maybe sometime soon I will work on 3.0 though.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindledude:
hmmmm

I'm still having the issue, and when I run your program, it seems to only make things worse, so i end up undoing it. I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what.

I have the kindle fire 7.4.6. I ran the program and everything seemed to work according to the box. But when I installed the holo launcher again, same problem, except now when I turn my kindle, the whole thing goes black as if it's about to brick. that's when I quickly restore it.

What am I doing wrong??

EDIT: tried a couple more times, still nothing. Black background on all launchers. I removed the launcher and re installed it after the "fix" but still nothing, as I said before, it seemed to only lag things make things not work. I dont know what to do from here, i hate the black background
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You try running the fix from another PC? Might be something related to your java or something.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindledude:
My java was ok, but my C++ was not. That was where this was messing up for me. So, just downloaded the latest visual c++ redistribute package, and tried the process again and everything seemed to work.

Thanks for the help, and for the fix!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You're welcome, I'm half asleep, but I thought I removed the components that needed c++, maybe aapt uses it, if that's the case I need to double check and make sure the safety check for the c++ redist is still enabled.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychoTR2:
Hi, so I ended up doing a factory reset and updating to 7.4.6. I re-rooted and when I went to apply the wallpaper fix, it looked like it worked correctly, no errors from the batch file. But, when my Kindle turned back on, the status bar would appear and disappear fairly often (before, when I had 7.4.3, the status would disappear after an hour or two of use, then I could bring it back with a RAM booster, which under normal circumstances is a No-no) and I would get a black background. So, I restored my framework-res, and tried again. No dice. Then again: this time, it would freeze at cleaning up.

So here's what I did to fix this:

1) Installed the newest Java JDK and C++ redist.

2) Rebooted my computer.

3) Opened 'RunMe.bat' in Notepad and changed the first line from "@echo off" to "@echo on."

4) At that point, the program worked, but I could see each command being made, so I waited until it asked me for an option.

5) Chose 2 to restore my unmodified framework-res.apk

6) Re-applied the fix.

7) Cleaned up the dalvik cache through Titanium Backup.

8) Rebooted my Kindle.

Then, it was smooth sailing, I had wallpaper, and no disappearing status bar.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Sweet, I had a feeling the dalvik cache might have had something to do with it but I wasn't positive offhand of a way to clear it via adb, and I though there might be a way to do it with fastboot but never looked into it, I will have to find a way to automatically so that.

Screen gone crazy

After I tried your "wallpaper fix", it didn't work.

So I tried restoring the original apk (option 2) and after I rebooted my Kindle Fire HD "7, I found out that the screen has gone crazy. I tried a touch screen debugging app, and it looks like the touch screen randomly "adds fingers" to the screen (multi-touching randomly), but mostly in a horizontal line. Also, sometimes the screen just stops responding.

The Kindle itself is also a bit sluggish.

Help!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Odd, never heard of that happening, sounds like something corrupted possibly, might have some luck reflashing the system partition with a system restore utility or kffa, it can put it into fastboot for you so you shouldn't need a fastboot cable unless something else goes wrong after that.

Ok after keeping in check witht the latest developments in the hdx forum i have foudn out since the toher day that root was achieved this wallpaper fix has also been tested and is confirmed working on the hdx models so i wanted to post a nice notification alerting anybody in case they are wondering or something. Also i think i will attempt to make the 3.0 release of teh script byt this sunday if i can, i have been putting it off lately because of other things so i will see if i can get it done finally. Think i said this before but i will say it again, i am going to post it in the general section like i should have done with this originally for the sake of people being more likely to see it no matter the device and being named something better than "cant set wallpaper fix after latest ota update". I will ink to the thread from this one though in a post and on the original post of the fix.

I tried doing the wallpaper fix on my Kindle Fire 8.9 HD. I have Apex installed. It is rooted but is running the stock OS. It went through the motions but when all was said and done, it is still giving me issues with the wallpaper. Oh well.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
If for some reason it doesn't work, try something like setting the wallpaper with a different launcher or rerunning the fix. Every once in a while people have issues with it.

On another note I didn't finish the 3.0 release by sunday like I had hoped, ran into a little snag. Snag being I don't think the idme command is still part of twrp and unsure whether its in amazon os, and I was going to use it to check what boot ode the device is in, so far I have only seen replacement commands for changing your idme command.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjt21:
Is this "suppose" to work with the Stock OS? Or do I have to have a custom Rom. I mean I can deal with out wallpapers if I must. I honestly bought it for the better Special Offers that are sent out and the Lending Library... I know I am one of the few.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:

It does, though it could use a bit of a touch up since I haven't updated some of the ways things are done in it to match the windows version, but it still works last I checked. BTW could someone confirm if the idme command is on a rooted kindle fire HD? I'm working on a 3.0 script but kinda ran into a snag about that command not existing in twrp, but if it exists in amazon os still, I can use what it for what I had intended.

I have the 7 in KFHDX and unfortunately this is not working for me. I have tried several launchers (Holo HD, Nova and GO) and all I've managed to see is the message "Loading Live Wallpapers" and it goes blank. I have update Java and the C++ was up-to-date. I have deleted them and did te fix and then added the launchers back, nothing.

I tried using the fix with the older live wallpaper and files, nothing. Stunts advised that he felt it may be the version of Live Wallpapers picker I was using. I finally found a 2.3.6 version and placed that on, nothing happened. In fact, by itself I couldn't get the choice to start live wallpapers, so I have both versions in the app folder, still nothing. I also have appwidgetpicker2.apk in the app folder. I have the permissions set to rw-r-r on all apps.
