Update.. FIXED

Thanks [MENTION=5112866]stunts513[/MENTION] for your help. I was able to fix my kindle. The linux didn't work. Somehow it managed to stay on fastboot screen. I went back to Windows. Opened a command prompt typed fastboot -1 0x1949 getvar product and hit enter. it waited for device. turned Kindle off. plugged fastboot cable to kindle then PC and was able to read it. Once that happened I was able to manually input the info

{fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot "C:\KFFirstAide\path\to\boot.img"

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "C:\KFFirstAide\path\to\recovery.img"

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system "C:\KFFirstAides\path\to\ystem.img"} ofcourse changing the paths.

I downloaded Hashcode's Kindle OS from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2218475.

And it worked.

My Spanish is horrible so I ran it through Google.

If it is doing exactly what the original poster is doing rather than showing up only as a omap4boot and not turning on then I recommend using Linux and running "fastboot -i 0x1949 erase boot" once it clears the boot partition it should kick it into fastboot until the boot partition gets re-flashed.

I could fix friend but now if much worse, I load a stock rom 7.4.1 OS but not if when I upgrade my kindle in about me was saying that his version is 7.4.9 rootearlo not pay importance to it, achieved rootearlo and decided putting on applications from the play store that will also install, good download facebook, clash of clan and app camera, the point is that at any moment the leave loading and when I went to use trailed off and it started putting on red screen, try to go back to the pc load another ROM STOCK but never communicated with the pc and the pc detects my kindle like devices 43 uknown mistake, do not the truth, sometimes it sporadically does well I can start and enter the tablet, but still does not recognize the pc, I can make friends? : /
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
For some reason I want to say fixing this from a Linux os might be more beneficial if its switching between devices and such, Linux's driver response times are much better IMO, could probably catch the device when it shows up in fastboot briefly to still reflash it or at least erase the bootimg.

same situation, solution doesn't work

Hi [MENTION=5112866]stunts513[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5609616]SafinWasi[/MENTION]

I have exactly the same issue as the original poster. Though mine not only did not magically started working as his kindle nor I can get pass the "waiting for device". I did everything on the guide but when i plug it in, the terminal thingy stops blinking for a while and nothing happens and returns to blinking. I tried this solution and the one that said "erase boot" but it just stays in waiting for device (perhaps is because I don't have a factory cable??) If i go back to windows I get the same omap name as before and sounds of connecting and disconnecting every second. Any help will be very much appreciated or I'm going to have to throw the device into the garbage as i can't repair it... thanks a lot!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
If your device stays on the first bootloader i.e. the orange Kindle Fire logo and cannot boot into the blue one,you have to buy a factory cable or make one. If it boots to the blue one and gets stuck,go to Linux and type:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

And plug in the device. That will boot the tablet into fastboot.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review my problem!! and well, the thing is that I actually don't get ANY logos. the screen is "black". The first month it happened (i.e. I stupidly accidentally deleted the OS with a wipe ALL option i clicked when trying to update the cyanogenmod version) it used to light up in "black", and recently, don't know if from trying many things it doesn't even light up anymore. I only know it's working because when I plug it in on a PC it does this omap and sound thing.

Hello,

I am trying to download Paranoid Android for my Nexus 4. I have rooted my phone.

I am trying to download it but my download fails after 2-3 hours. I tried it five times in a row.

But when I try to download files from another server - it download a gig file in 10 minutes.

So, I was wondering whether it would be possible to get some mirror links or some other links whether

the traffic would be really slow.

I want the Custom ROM and gapps for the ROM.

Thank you.

When the option to activate opens

Then type nextlauncher3d in the account field

Then type appoftheday in the code box

Then press activate

Profit

Normally its 16 for the app but free today. I found this on android police and it works

[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
I did a backup with Titanium just in case. I thinking that if you uninstall, you'll lose your activation if you install again later. It's possible it might work again on the same device, but I'm fairly confident switching devices will not carry the activation of premium features forward.

So just wanted to see what everyone used to text other people on a day to day basis and also why they choose to use their choice of texting app. I for one use the stock messaging app that came with the phone. The reason being that since the GS4 is un able to use lockscreen widgets while having a passcode on it I love having the stock messaging app notify me as to who texted me and how many text I have with just a quick glance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CamFlawless:
I use messaging app packaged in Task's AOKP. It's simple, has emoji support, is a dark, inverted theme and has quick reply.

Ok, so you're not really asking what everyone uses. My bad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] blackguy101:
Well I have always had the idea that the Q &A section was more towards general assistance to a problem for example the question would be "I have a media storage drain how do i fix it?" and the answer would be " perform x and y task and you will be all set" This is just a general poll about what people are using. I am not asking for advice as to what texting app I should use but just more so curious as to what people in general are using. Does that make any sense?

Actually you can ask questions in general. And about apps too. Or hardware or Roms or even accessories. If its to discuss them and poll people about it then it most certainly belongs here in general and not in the other areas.

. Credit to this link re: gosms with similar issue (http://www.appeggs.com/apps/com.jb.gosms,77/go-sms-pro-no-contact-photos-after-ics,797.html)

Ok if you're missing contact pictures from FB in your handcent app (same works for go sms pro - it was no better with missing pics).

1. settings --> Accounts. Remove the FB account. Exit

2. Log back into FB app. This time choose DON"T Sync contacts when prompted upon login to fb app

3. Download Ubersync for facebook (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&hl=en).

4. Open this app, add FB account if needed. In the settings I chose picture size "NORMAL" - not sure if this step is needed instead of the default max supported. Sync All contacts checked and match by facebook ID checked. Run full sync to run a full sync

5. Open handcent - most of the pics will be there. If still missing a pic and you're sure they are on FB do this:

5a. Open contacts app. Type name of person with no pic. Usually you will see 1 of 2 issues: The contact has no pic OR there's two or more contacts but only one has the pic. You need to remove the contacts iwth no pic OR join them to the one with the pic. Or choose a pic manually.

** Removing DUPLICATE contacts that have no pic is the key issue. Seems handcent and even go sms gets confused if there's 2 i.e. "Jane Doe" but only one has a pic. This is especially true if the number you SMS exists in both. I.e. both Jane Doe in contacts have the same SMS number i.e. 800-555-1212 - it gets confused. The SMS number needs to be in only one contact (or join contacts in teh contacts app till only one contact).

Hope that helps!!

Used slide messaging pro for awhile. Very cool way to manage texts but its way to laggy for me. Sometimes it runs fast, sometimes it drags. Going back to stock until I find a more optimized third party app.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CZ Eddie:
I used to use Handcent but I get frequent popup issues where the keyboard hides the message on popups.

So I am on GoSMS now. At first I hated it, but once I figured out that you can "buy the premium package" and block the "spam" texts and adjust the view so you don't see any advertising or suggestions.

Now it's a great SMS app and fully customizable to the nth degree.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] greyhulk:
For the first time, I feel like Samsung got the stock messaging app right. Every MMS doesn't turn into a slideshow (annoying on previous versions), you can customize the look and feel, and it works really well.

I only ever replace the stock SMS app if I feel that it's crippled (like it was on the GS3 and Note 2) or inadequate. Personally, I find that there are too many compromises with almost all of the third party solutions.

Using stock MMS app. My favorite by far is Google default one. I did use CM10.1 for a while and loved it, except it had a bug where it would not resize images correctly. And I dislike Go SMS, Handslide, and all the others. They all seem slow compared to the stock app. If I could put the stock Google SMS app on the stock(based) ROM I would love it.

While on the subject. Anyone know how to get stock AOSP MMS.APK working in our stock or stock-based roms?

If any other Dev or anyone familiar with it could help it'd be greatly appreciated.

I use Textra SMS. It's a more up to date app from the ChompSMS developers. I think its a great sms app. MMS works perfectly. It's very quick, i've never had any lag or stutters from it. Doesn't split up messages over 160 characters(Pet peeve for me. I don't like my messages split). Emoji support. Updated very often. And free.
