[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
Just got my X43Z60 yesterday.

I am trying to take advantage of Amazon Prime Video which works very well on this device, but I also would like to get google play content so I was wondering, if I flash a custom rom, will I still be able to watch prime videos and if anybody has any suggestion on a kid friendly app that will limit the usage similar to free time?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You can't watch amazon prime on a custom ROM, it might be possible with flash on kitkat but I have never tried, I heard the functionality broke a while back to use it with flash. If you just got the kindle you might wanna mention what the os version is, because the 2013 kindles are not flashable with custom ROMs outside of the kindle water ROM that just reuses the stock kernel.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
Thank you.

I am using 7.4.8

My son is used to Playbook, which is really excellent in terms of functionality & ease of use, however lack of apps that he likes, and games is making it a bit outdated. Youtube and all that stuff is actually great on Playbook, no ads, good interface, and I can let him play with it anyway he wants, but with this Kindle, it's a little weird. Even in Kids freetime mode you can uninstall apps.

I really like the idea of freetime unlimited and I think I am going to go with that for now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK yea yours is the 2012 then, completely flashable.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You can watch Amazon Instant Videos (rented/bought movies and shows) with flash but you cannot watch Prime Videos unless you are running Amazon firmware. You can't even access them. I have a Prime account and it's just not possible.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
I think its because you have created a orientation theme - inclose looks for tdywater.gif and as yours are named tdywater_240_320.gif & tdywater_320_240.gif it uses default windows one. Change your theme to a standard format and it will work.

btw with what software did you make the theme? And nice looking theme :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Juicy J:
I have it and maybe

Jimm98y.. i use inclose too and if im not mistaken you want that blue part to be taking off inclose correct.. well if you do you need to go to the inclose settings and in background just click none it will be white, but i dont know why when you click current theme its allways blue, as for user image its tuff to do that.. Hope that helps

Hi all,

Received my TS 1/8 2100 recently, after getting exhausted from reading most of the forum posts to better understand the pros and cons of the TS. I currently have mixed feelings about the watch, I will leave that for another day.

My question is, for the life of me, I cannot find the option to manually set a static IP address once you've connected to Wifi?

Reason why I ask is, I have a wifi connection here at work which is not DHCP enabled, so one will have to manually set the IP, Subnet and DNS entry. Why no DHCP you ask? lets just say I tacked on a wifi router to an existing internet connection which is not part of my company.

I use this to test things outside of the network, I currently have my phone connected which works a treat and it's pretty quick.

Trying to get this set up on the TS, I can find the modify options but no options to manually set the IP, Subnet and DNS, other android devices you can but not the TS.

I have not searched for other alternative app in the Play store to do just this.

Model: 1/8 2100

Firmware: Omate_TrueSmar_20140328.182336_V2.0 (stock firmware straight out of the box)

Mods: Rooted

Help?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ark1406:
Do the classic way, through SSH. Use an SSH client for Mac, and Google what app you need to download (if you do) so your phone can connect through SSH. You'd just need your phone's IP address and both devices have to be on the same WiFi network. Google is your friend

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

In order to receive official OTA updates, your phone cannot have a custom ROM, kernel, or even be rooted. It must be pure.

If you're phone can get S-off or not, it depends on your carrier. Most carriers allow you to unlock your bootloader through HTC dev (unlocking bootloader allows you to root and install custom recoveries). If you have Verizon, you need to use Firewater. All USA carriers can get S-Off, I believe even all UK carriers. Not sure about the Chinese variants.

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out what I need to do in order to gain root access on an HTC one (m8) t-mobile and still receive OTA updates.

I know that I need to have a stock recovery on the phone, which I can accomplish by simply booting into TWRP (instead of flashing). Do I need to install any specific version of supersu in order to gain root access and still receive OTA updates? Mike1986 posted a solid guide showing how it was possible. "[18.05.2014] [GUIDE] How to add root access & disable system RW protection on the HTC One M8 and keep official OTA updates | For WWE 1.54.401.5"

My question is, im rooted, and everything i wanna do with my device i can! Like flash kernels, HK mod, custom rom, custom recovery, and Im S-ON!

So, if Im only rooted and im able to do this, why i should be S-OFF!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
So you can flash unsigned radios then :)

S-ON will prevent that.

We could flash kernels on a S-ON HTC One X, but only via fastboot and not via recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianray14:
This is a copypasta from xda user redpoint73 as he explained it very well and in great detail.

S-off isn't needed to:

- Flash TWRP

- To achieve root

- Flash ROMs

S-off benefits:

- Needed to flash radios (SuperCID also needed to flash a radio that does not match your version)

- Needed to SIM unlock

- Needed to flash modified hboot (such as to remove the red warning text form boot screen)

- Needed to flash firmware components (not the ROM)

- Allows you to run any RUU (other carriers, or even previous RUUs, which is not normally allowed by version check)

The last one is important, since s-off essentially gives you more recovery options if things go south.

But s-off means all security checks are off by definition. This even includes device check, which means flashing a ROM or mod for another device is possible. I've seen folks flash a ROM for a different device with s-off, and brick their phones (due to different partitioning, etc.). As long as you are very careful to only flash things intended for our device, you will be fine. But anyone with s-off (or interested in s-off) needs to understand this.

Insertcoin (m8) 2.7.0 issues

Hi, I'm new to android and xda-dev forum, so I couldn't post this where I should. I'm having issues with new email notifications for the HTC mail app. The notification both at the top bar and the number over the mail app only show up for 1 second and vanish, I'm currently using the insertcoin (m8) 2.7.0 on a T-mobile htc one (m8). Any help would be great.

Thanks
