[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
If you root, you will lose no functions of the stock KFHD. Rooting just gives you access to the roots of the system allowing you to add/remove what you please. Adding Google Play (Gapps) just adds those APK's to the system so you can use them. Again, this effects nothing as far as the stock KFHD goes.

Installing any custom ROM will remove the ability to watch prime movies, loose the lending library and any audio books that are not backed up to an audible account.

This was no big to me because I can watch the prime movies on the ROKU, I don't borrow books and had my audible books backed up. A custom ROM is so much better and faster. Sky's the limit for customizing. That choice is yours.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secretsubscriber:
Because I use some of the stock functionality, I went with rooting.

Then installed Go Launcher and set it up as my default launcher.

Installed LMT Launcher to replace the default softkeys.

Changed a config file to remove the softkey bar

Installed Thumbkeyboard from the Google Play (purchased for a previous device), a much better keyboard than stock.

All this took quite of bit of searching around for different tweaks, but I have an experience thats closer to Android, while retaining access to

the Kindle Carousel as an app, so I can access Prime and the lending library.

My point is, if you can define how you're going to use your Kindle, you have a lot of options.

I've just bought a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" 4G on eBay.

Pure android Kindle

May I suggest you check out a company called N2Aos. They have developed a

version of CyanogenMod 10.1 especially for the Kindle. They will even perform the upgrade for you remotely. The cost is 20 dollars US. I had this done about a month ago and I now have a fully functioning, pure android tablet. I, sir, am a very happy camper.

And no, this is not a paid endorsement!

He is looking for the 8.9lte which they can't have because Hashcode is still developing it. For free people can do it themselves. Damn paying someone else.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelmercier:
I've been considering them for some time, it looks like an easy way to get started. My KHD arrived yesterday, and has a scratch on the base. I complained, and the seller has agreed to a £20 refund, so I've now got some spare cash ...

LinearEquation

I believe N2AOS works on LTE models as well. I don‘t know what Hashcode has to do with it. As a senior member, you must remember that many of us may not be as experienced or as talented as you are. Or, as in my case, although I‘ve been involved with computers for over 50 years, my brain no longer functions as well as it once did. For example, I've been working on this message for almost 30 minutes. Old age kills. Have a nice day.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Hascode matters because his code is the original and only kernel for the Kindle Fire HD series tablet because there was only one exploit for the Kindle Fire HD models. All other ROM's use his kernel as a starting point and fork from it. Hashcode is still trying to get the 8.9lte ROM done right and has not got to the point to where everything works proper. If he has not, it's probable N2AOS can not be there yet either. That is why my statement about the 8.9lte.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] dnadave:
Hi there,

I'm the proud owner of a Tmobile MDA compact since a few months now :D , and i really love its speed, functions and size. But there's one thing that really bothers me : the camera quality. Before I bought this mda compact i had a crappy sharp gsm phone, and it could make better pics with its 640x480 cam than the megapixel cam on my mda compact.

I've noticed that people on this website have the same cam problems as I have : snowflakes, a low frames/sec rate, and blurry pics :roll: .

But...because I only have this phone for a few months, I dont know much about flashing / upgrading my rom version and stuff like that that is needed in order to make my cam perform better.

Who can help me by explaining, step by step, how to flash / upgrade my mda compact so the cam will make me even prouder of this phone.

this is some info over my mda :arrow: :

rom version : 1.13.00 WWE

rom date : 08/18/05

radio version : 1.12.00

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] dnadave:
That's because i did the update from the T-mobile website. It was a file of 60megs....and it was a simple exe program so I didn't had to do difficult things. Áfter this simple upgrade I didn't noticed any positive new effects when using the cam.

So I was wondering if, and how there is any way to increase the cam's quality and speed.

anyone?

Are you manually flashing the boot img via fastboot? Maybe this is why you can't get the ROM to boot.

If you really want your phone to be a clean slate, S- Off and RUU is the way to go
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
No roms require S-OFF, but ruuing does and a few roms require certain Hboot/firmware versions to work smoothly. They say to S-OFF so you can RUU up to that firmware. I don't see what the trouble is really. Copy paste one command at a time into your command prompt and at the end you'll have s-off. -_-

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Just tried the cracked one, and I can't see a difference against 5.1. The screen still draws visibly slowly and the UI is still as limiting and unsophisticated as ever.

I can't see any benefit in upgrading if TT is working already for you.

Looks like TomTom will be waiting a while longer to get my upgrade fee. I'm happy to upgrade legitimately from my legitimate v3, but I don't consider it to be a viable option at the moment. TomTom seem to have lost their way on PocketPC software since they are apparently unifying the software to match their TomTomGO platform. Sadly that leaves those of us with sophisticated multi-purpose devices wondering why we can't have the flexibility of version 3, in which we could keep the Windows Taskbar on the screen and actually use the damn operating system at the same time!

I have paid for the upgrade, but the cracked version saves having to mess around with their annoying registration system.

I find the UI clean and elegant. It allows you to quickly do what you need, without fuss. It also makes switching from other TomTom's (Go etc) easy. I find version 5 far better than 3. The maps are much improved too and include all of Europe. Easily worth the upgrade price.

Apart from what was said on Howard Forums, which I agree with (clueless TomTom devs!), the update seems to add the ability to install without having to copy the CABS onto the phone.

Apart from that, no difference. If you start it up in landscape mode, it'll run in portrait mode.

One other hint that TomTom are clueless idiots - the compatibility list shows the Jasjar and the MDA Pro as being compatible. However, when I requested an activation code from them they insisted the M5000 was not compatible. They wouldn't accept that the M5000 and the XDA Exec were the same hardware and base image!

Precisely. Activesync install was the one obvious thing they had to fix, and they cocked it up. Funny how every other WM5 developer in the world seems to manage it.

Precisely. Broken landscape mode. No support for soft buttons. So what's this magical support for WM5? Everything works the same (or doesn't) as in 5.1.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ineedtoys:
But what if happens of you switch Windows from Portrait to Landscape while TTN is running (e.g. by extending the Wizard keyboard)? TomTom stays where it is. Can you switch to the Today screen (not another app) while TomTom is running in either orientation? No.

Apart from a half-baked attempt at an Activesync install (which has obviously been tested by a monkey) 5.2 doesn't "support" WM 5 any more than 5.1. And TomTom shouldn't be claiming it does. Period.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ineedtoys:
I was quoting the Wizard because that's the device I have. Does TTN5.2 change orientation when you switch the Universal from "laptop" to "tablet" mode? I suspect not.

No, it hogs the screen unless you launch another app first.

Absolutely, it's native to both WM2003SE and WM5. And any application that claims to support either should react to the OS instruction to switch.

It's fairly obvious to me that the reason for this is TomTom's move to the one core program for Palm/Symbian/Windows. That wasn't done for the customers' benefit - TTN5 stripped out many features, and has a worse UI than TTN3. It was done purely so they could lay off programmers and maximise profit. They've dumbed it down to work on the lowest common denominator (i.e. Nokias and dedicated "pods") and haven't the skill, or interest, to make it work properly on anything else. The latest patch, its sloppy implementation, and ignoring of fundamental WM compatability issues, is simply more evidence of this.

Well, I'm going to give them a few months to get it right. I've paid for the upgrade, and as far as I'm concerned, TTN5 is a downgrade. If I wanted something as crappy and unreliable as this, I'd have bought a Go.

Well seeing as the TTN5 upgrade came out in June, and they haven't done anything about the pre-WM5 issues yet, I wouldn't hold my breath. The only thing TomTom will be working on is how to get another 60 Euro out of you for the 2006 update...
