[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowshinra:
I followed these instructions http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/root-supersu-stable-appstore-custom-t3113311 and everything was working fine for a few a while and was even able to have the latest playstore and play services working fine! However today, the play store was booting to white however I could swipe right and the options would appear (With a lot of options missing) indicating it wasn't frozen or anything, eventually I got bored of waiting to see if it'll load and played some games, after an hour or so later a game I was playing froze and I rebooted my Fire HD, and upon doing so Virelauncher appears to have been broken, it launches to solid black (sometimes the kindle default background grey colour) however i can still open up the mini dock and open up apps or swipe down and get into settings yet virelauncher is still broken, I think sometimes it straight up crashes and tries to re-open because I see the orange circle loading animation for a few seconds but it just goes black again, anything I could do? Is it bricked?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
So I just encouraged you to update to 4.5.4 over in the rooting thread, but seeing this I think you should hold off. This could all be Gapps, but I can't say.

Please clarify: 12 hours ago you posted (in rooting) that you wanted to update play store, yet here you say that for a while you were "even able to have the latest playstore and play services working fine!." Was that a couple hours or a couple days? Did you reboot during that time and everything stayed fine, or was this your first reboot after services update? thx.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowshinra:
It was a good 10+ hours, a few reboots had occurred during then which is why I'm not sure what happened, Virelauncher appears to be working now though and I don't know how it fixed itself just left it on charge, since everything but playstore is working fine right now what do you recommend I do from here? A step to step guide would be great so no issues occurs this time lol.

But yeah I was able to update the store and services fine and they worked for hours until it went blank though everything else that needs the new services continues to work fine (youtube etc), I haven't tried reinstalling the old versions yet in case it made things worse

Edit, I just managed to replicate the Vire Launcher crashing which was from the game Yugioh Duel Generation by trying to click the premium tab, so beware of that anyone else who maybe reading, Maybe I should try installing a different launcher? Either way I'd really love a step by step guide for what to do from here on as the other tutorials seem to use things that the tutorial I used didnt use or mention.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Your edit sounds like it must be Gapps. When the play store is broken, anything you do in an app that would use the store will fail. Don't know why the failure shows up as launcher crash, but I wouldn't do anything that might use the store until this is sorted out.

You could either roll back to older play services and store or update to 4.5.4 and install new Gapps. I'm not sure I can help with either one. For the update you need TWRP and I have only installed it using TWRP manager from the playstore, which you can't use. To rollback you will need to uninstall play services and store, at least, plus reverse other changes you made when you rooted. Others have more experience with that than I do.

Rollback would be less likely to threaten root or a brick, so suggest you post asking for help with that. [MENTION=1784383]AlbusAngelus[/MENTION] did a lot of work on play services/store and may be able to help you.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowshinra:
Ok thanks, since everything besides the playstore is working now and vire launcher stable yet again, I'll make another post about rolling back to the older services, if you remember anything else that can help feel free to share, otherwise thanks for the information.

Edit Virelauncher is dead again after trying to boot Digimon Heroes which used to play just fine, might also be related to the store like you said... now I have to wait for vire launcher to fix it self all over again, until it fixed itself, I would also love to know how to change from vire launcher to Nova Launcher since I hear it's very recommended.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowshinra:
Still having no luck with finding someone who knows how to rollback to a working gapps without breaking more/bricking, however I believe I can indeed confirm that it seems that Google Play store or Google Services is causing the Vire Launcher crash loop, during a crash loop I force stopped both and then Vire Launcer was able to stop crash looping and run again.

Install TWRP with Flashify (bypassing Play Store)

OK. I used Flashify on another device and can tell you how to install TWRP so you can update to 4.5.4, if you want to try. There's always risk. You decide.

1. Get the apk for Flashify, sideload to Fire and install it. (Sideload. Don't try to use play store, right?)

2. Go to bibikalka's root page and download the attachment. (This is JMZ's TWRP img, "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-ariel.img". You can thank him here).

3. Move or copy twrp img to download folder on tablet.

4. Disconnect from computer.

5. On tablet, open Flashify and give it SuperUser access when prompted. It probably will also prompt to apply loki patch for Kitkat. Say yes.

6. Select "Recovery Image" and select "Choose a File." Navigate to where you put the twrp img file and select it.

7. Flashify will ask if you are sure you want to do this. If you are, select "Yup!" and it should do the install. Exit Flashify (or it may offer to reboot. Don't remember.)

8. Reboot to recovery and see if TWRP is displayed: Power off tablet. Then hold down power and volume-up at same time until you see “Amazon” and then let go.

- If you see TWRP, press "reboot" and then "system." Now you can follow bibikalka's instructions to update and install Gapps. Let me know if you need step-by-step.

- If you get stock recovery screen ("reboot" and "factory reset"), TWRP didn't install. Press reboot and confirm you can get back into Fire.

- If you just boot back into Fire, you didn't power off first.

Good luck. Keep me posted.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowshinra:
Oh this sounds interesting thanks, Don't have time to try it out just yet though so if you want to post a nice clean and clear step by step of Bibi's tutorial feel free, nice to have a double confirmation so I don't screw anything up again :fingers-crossed:
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowshinra:
This probably should have been an edit but this way you'll get notified, I was able to follow those steps and TWRP appears to be working! I haven't attempted the update process yet since I want to be thorough so if you want to post some step by steps that are clear and precise I'd be in your debt yet again. :D

To upgrade 4.5.3 to 4.5.4 and install Gapps (no edits)

Oh, great! You will love how nicely Gapps works on 4.5.4. (Thank you [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION]!)

[EDIT2 - September 26, 2015] These steps and the post that links to them are essentially obsolete. If you want to stay on OS 4, follow bibikalka's recommendation in linked post to update to OS 4.5.5.

[EDIT1] This was written for someone with non-working Play Store and ES File Explorer installed. It's now been edited for people who get here from bibikalka's "Upgrade to 4.5.4 and keep TWRP and root" guide and don't have Gapps installed yet.

These are bibikalka's instructions from [upgrade guide] but without b's edits and with a little more detail. This doesn't wipe /data so your apps should all be fine, just finally work.

Install JMZ's Fire tool.

Download the following to Fire's Download folder (or download to computer and copy to Download folder).

- 4.5.4 update zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5VDSXB6iXSmTEQ3cnljNzJhZk0/view?usp=sharing

- Chainfire's SuperSU update zip: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

-

Pico

GAPPS for KitKat: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/03/download-android-44x-kitkat-pa-gapps.html

Turn off wifi.

[*]Look for the following files in /data/app and delete them if found:

- com.android.vending-1.apk

- com.android.vending-2.apk

- com.google.android.gms-1.apk

- com.google.android.gms-2.apk

Boot to TWRP: (a) Power off tablet. (b) Hold down power and volume-up buttons at same time until you see “Amazon,” then release.

Install the 4.5.4 update: (a) Tap Install, (b) navigate to Download folder if needed, (c) tap the zip (twrp_ready_update-kindle . . .) and swipe "swipe to confirm flash."

Note: If you don't see the zips, use button at lower-right to toggle between Zips and Images

Tap Home and install the SuperSU update zip.

Tap Reboot system.

[You'll see an updating message and it will take awhile.]

Boot to TWRP and (a) install the GAPPS zip, (b) wipe cache/dalvik and (c) reboot system.

[Another updating message.]

Open terminal/CMD window and enter following commands (prevents updates from installing):

adb shell

su

pm block com.amazon.otaverifier​

If your Fire HD has lockscreen ads that you previously blocked, turn screen off and on a couple times and confirm ads are still gone. If they are back, enter these commands while still in su (note: There is no space in "Service" at the end of the command. It just seems to display that way):

pm disable com.amazon.kindle.kso/com.amazon.kindle.kso.lockscreen.LockscreenUpdateService

adb reboot​

Turn on wifi.

Open Play Store and sign in. If you are prompted to update store and/or services, say yes.

Now open Play Store and sign in. (You'll be prompted to update store and/or services. Say yes.) Everything should work now!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowshinra:
Wahoo! Thanks a million, if I could hit that thanks button 1000 times I would, everything updated and working as I type this! I'll be sure to post a new thread or something if anything does go wrong at a later date but everything seems fine for now! :D :good: :highfive:

edit actually only thing I found that doesn't work is the Silk Browser, which crashes on startup, but that's not really an issue as I can install Chrome or Firefox anyway but might as well mention it.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorotman:
Hi, may be a stupid question. But how to install TWRP?

I tried, sideloaded apk but TWRP manager does not run (7.5.1.3).

So I tried to flash from fast boot, but nothing for this error "FAILED (remote: flashing not allowed for locked hw)".

Any help?

Thank' for your post.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorotman:
OK, I found solution myself. AS also posted in forum, I used Flashify apk (sideloaded) and installa TWRP shared by [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION]!. Thank's to all for your work.

This is all great but [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION]'s 4.5.4 custom file is getting a 429 error at dropbox. Is there a mirror somewhere, or should I just keep trying? Thanks to you both for putting this together, very helpful!

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatwad12:
Yeah, I actually found a mirror in the other thread and was running with it, but I'm having a few issues. Silk doesn't work at all, and a recently purchased Kindle book isn't showing in my cloud library. Although old books are there and can download, the purchase from yesterday will not. Maybe related to silk issue? I'll wait for your new mirror and reinstall. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

My zip is per Bibikalka's original instructions. Bibi deleted a few more apps in the first file you downloaded, so my zip is slightly larger and there is less room in /system. Still, the pico gapps fits.

Please let me know if this fixes silk and books. Thanks.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatwad12:
Downloading now... will let you know when I have a chance to install (might be later tonight).
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatwad12:
Well, it fixed silk (kind of). However, whenever I boot it keeps returning me to the "welcome" Please select your language screen... over and over and over. Ha. Something else need enabled to get this to go away?

I was able to access silk in between one of these loops and it appeared to work.

EDIT: I should probably clarify that I'm not really interested in any custom launcher. The stock Kindle launcher is different from my other android tablets and I don't mind it. I just am trying to get access to the play store with GAPPS and the stock stuff be stable (especially Instant Video). Seems like this is close to happening.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Sorry to hear it. I've seen a few posts about this. Here's a solution:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61941315&postcount=45

You'll probably find that some or many Google apps don't work from stock launcher, while most things Amazon, including books and video work fine from a custom launcher. But first lets finish getting you set up. Please post back after following steps in link. Take it slowly if unsure and let me know if questions.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatwad12:
Ok, I've got back up and running (Silk, no loop of language select, GAPPS good, etc.). So I feel like I'm right there with what I'm looking for. But for some reason now I'm getting an error with Prime Instant Video (LICENSE_ERROR) and won't stream anything. Do they see that the device is rooted and lock some of their content as a result? This happen to anyone else? I searched the forum and didn't find this as an issue for anyone else.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
I haven't heard of it. This is when you press "videos" on stock launcher, it immediately gives that error? You are properly registered and were able to use it on 4.5.3?

Maybe go to your instant video on computer, which might be here (http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Video/b?node=2858778011), then settings (toward upper right) and then scroll down to registered devices and make sure the Fire is there. If that doesn't help, search internet for "Prime Instant Video LICENSE_ERROR Fire" There are lots of hits.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatwad12:
No, it opens the Prime Instant Video App (or when I select Videos on the top bar) and even has my watch list and currently watching synced properly. But when I click on a title I get,

"Player Error

We've encountered a problem with this video. Please try again. If this problem continues, please contact Amazon Customer Service.

Error Code: LICENSE_ERROR"

I found in another forum for the HDX that it had something to do with the order rooted custom ROMs were installed. Since I got the OTA 4.5.4 I had to get the dev preview 5.1 to root and downgrade to 4.5.3 and then upgrade to 4.5.4 in order to be on the most recent build with root. Perhaps somewhere along the line I did something out of order. Consequently, should I flash back to stock 4.5.3 using TWRP and try again?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
A lot of people got to rooted 4.5.4 in the way you did. I doubt that's it, but not everyone reports problems. I can't advise about going back to 4.5.3; someone more knowledgeable would have to help, so you'd need to post as a separate question. Did you try any of the suggestions from the Amazon.com customer discussions, like force stop and clear data? I'd try solutions from the discussions, then call customer service before flashing 4.5.3. Good luck!

I bought the device from LG G4 H815 from CLOVE website and for some reason the camera quality is poor daylight compared to my previous device G3.

With camera quality.. I know it sounds crazy, but I found cleaning my IR Laser focus and camera lens with Glass or lens cleaner worked for me (remember do not spray cleaner on the lens, apply it to a cloth, then polish the lens with the cloth) and wipe it VERY VERY Gently with a micro fibre cloth or an optical Glasses cloth ,

next Goto > Settings > Display > scroll down to More > Motion sensior calibration (lay it on a very flat surface).. and set it.. (try it a few times)

Motion sensor calibration sets the OIS and all the camera and focus sensors up.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorque:
I've actually noticed the same sort of thing with mine. I think the phone's postprocessing is too strong. Pictures of things like animals and trees almost look like an oil painting filter has been applied if you zoom in on them. Check out the fur on the picture I attached- LG's algorithm doesn't know what to do with images that have a lot of small, complex elements like leaves or fur. Thankfully that's something that could be patched, but I haven't heard many other people noticing it so I doubt it will be.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripex2k:
1. You never ever look at photos of this size. When looked at in a reasonable size, the pictures look awesome. When you downsize the pictures to a reasonable picturesize you would print, look at them again. You won't see those flaws.

2. Postprocessing of the jpegs is really to heavy and when you take a look at the DNGs, you see a real improvement over the jpegs. And I prefer the DNGs, since I can handle all of the parameters myself in Lightroom.

I think we will see some patches to the camera and postprocessing in the future, since LG is aware of the issue with the jpegs.
