Depends how sharp eyed you are I suppose. For me the main reason to have those extra watts is so that the battery can still charge at a good rate while running google maps on the phone while driving. That GPS, screen, GPU and CPU take a good chunk of energy.

I use the Moto 15w car Turbo Charger while running TomTom Go. It uses more battery than any navigation app I have ever used. And I still get a charge moving upward while using it. A regular charger had trouble keeping up with TomTom Go, on my old M7. But I could use Google Maps navigation on the M7 on the car charger just fine.

Hey all,

Recently installed Sultan's CM12.1, with PICO Gapps. I am missing something I use a lot, which is voice-to-text texting. As in, I press the microphone button on my keyboard and begin speaking, and the words appear as I;m talking. As it stands, only a small window with a microphone pops up, listens to my whole message, then bings away and places what it thinks I said into the text box. Which app am I missing?

(It also does not appear under the IME switcher, and usually does-- haven't used PICO prior to this flash.)

Sideload Google Play

I have successfully gotten Google Play to sideload on my Amazon Fire. One thing that's surprising to me is the ending code for Google Play Services. When I updated it through the Play Store, it grabbed suffix -230. Does this mean that the 5th gen has Android 5.x? I can't find the Android OS version on the tablet.

( From APK Mirror )

* X defines Android version:

0 for Android <5.0

2 for Android 5.0 and 5.1 starting with Play Services v8

4 for Android 5.0 and 5.1 before Play Services v8, Android >= 6.0 after

7 for Android 5.0

8 for Android TV

How To Sideload Google Play

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so if it's not, please move it and let me know.

1) Download ES File Explorer from the Amazon Marketplace. It's free.

2) Enable Developer mode and ADB -- Amazon Fire (2015) Tips and Tricks

3) Find the four APKs needed to install Google Play. Versions I used are listed:

Google Play (v5.9.12)

Google Play Services (v8.1.15 2250156-230)*

Gmail (v5.6.103338659.release)

Google Account Manager (v4.4.4-1227136)

* I used -010 and it worked, but complained until I could download -230 from Google Play. Which means -030 should work as well.

APK's 1-3 can be found on apkmirror.com, but the last one can't. If you're like me, you don't trust random mediafire links, so eventually I figured out how to create and transfer the APK from my Galaxy S4 (using App Backup & Restore) which did the trick. If someone wants to host this somewhere official, I can send it to them, but it doesn't look like I can just attach a file, because I'm noob level here. :)

4) Once the APKs are installed, Services is unable to contact Google. Using this guide, allow Services the access it needs with adb.

5) Restart the Amazon Fire and open Google Play to confirm it's working.

I did this purely for a cheap device my children can play Ingress on. Despite what I've read online, Google Play works without any issues at all. I'll still be testing it during the week (as well as sideloading their Fire's), so if I have updates to this, I'll be sure to post it. Since the Fire isn't rooted, everything in the Amazon Marketplace works, even Underground.

Enjoy :)

I tried Play Store install on following this post. Worked fine, just had to update Play Services(?) when installing Play Movies app. No need for adb or root. Worked even without a reboot but did one anyway. The Google Settings app won't open, though I don't think that really matters (never used it before..)

Good to know you didn't need adb. I was having some trouble with it registering my account through Play without it. However, my Google Settings does load, so maybe the adb helps.

EDIT: It's working now. I used this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/themes-apps/how-to-install-gapps-root-t2954372 Probably the restarting was the key. But I can't get Google Settings to start.

What version of FireOS are you running? Do you have the 5.0.1 update? Interestingly I can't get Google Play running following your guide. When I open the store, the page where I have to log in does not finish to load.

The Google Account Manager I used is Version 5.1.1. Any Idea where I can find an older version?

Ever since I reset to stock firmware, every time I plug my Fire into my computer, the touchscreen goes crazy - a lot of ghost touches that make it impossible to use the keyboard and really difficult to navigate the device. I've reset it multiple times afterwards, but it doesn't seem to help. I was trying to use TWRP and I was having a ton of trouble swiping in order to do things.

Anyone else have this problem? Or know how to fix it? TIA

Edit: problem's fixed. Not sure how. The only thing I did was register my device (and then deregister) and now everything works fine. Not sure if it was that (doesn't seem like it should be), but I didn't really do anything else.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianpaul:
I've noticed this on the fire and some other cellphones too. When charging, sometimes from a wall charger, or sometimes with usb, the touch response is weird.

This is not a consistent problem and hard to reproduce, therefore hard to diagnose. In any case it's better not to use any device while it's charging, this is one cause for exploding batteries...

Hey everyone,

I'm new to XDA and really liking the community so far! I have a Amazon Fire 5th Gen with CM12 which I put on with the help of Tomsgt AKA RootJunky's YouTube video.

I'm going to apologize ahead of time for these questions. I very rarely ask questions and usually am able to find answers via my web searches. I've had some experience hacking my PSP back in the day and jailbreaking my iPhones, iPads, ext. However it has been a couple years since I've worked with Androids and I'm sure things have changed some. I was able to successfully get CM12 running on my Android FIre Tablet. I realize this is in beta but anyways the my question is...

I bought a 64GB Micro SD Card I'm having trouble creating Partitions to it? I was going to do this to create a EXT4 format Partition to load apps onto and a Swap to increase virtual ram. Link2SD and TWRP give me an error along the line of "Unable to locate mounted device". I guess I could try it through Mac or WIndows? Also everything I've read is dated back years ago. So I'm curious if this is an outdated method and if it even makes since to Partition my Micro SD card?

Thank you for your time!

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Ok, I've got a newbie question: Why is this thing so easy to root??!! I've been messing with the 2013 KFHD and 2014 HD for a couple of years and you need to be a contortionist to get them rooted and customized.

I haven't rooted other devices. Are lots of them as easy as simply installing SuperSU?

And thanks, SD_shadow, I watched your video to get the idea of it and 10 minutes later I was rooted with Gapps, Xposed, Nova launcher and widgets.

Last question: In TWRP I wiped cache/dalvik and got that long startup, like it was reinstalling OS--and I've got stock recovery. If I hadn't wiped, would I still have TWRP, or do I have to fastboot boot it each time? Thanks!

EDIT: Looked at your post again. It's temp TWRP. :o Oh, well, sure is easy to get on, so np!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulinjr:
I can't Partition the memory card before hand and plug it in? Do you think this CM12 Beta won't acknowledge it? I'm installing bigger games like Nova and GTA. I was hoping to find a way to install all the files onto the SD card because I will run out too fast with the Internal 8GB. Thank you for your insight btw!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
it's rebuild runtime/dalvik I think, it does that every time dalvik is wiped, and when new apps are installed (gapps, supersu...)
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
I think [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] could answer that better than me.

No, See a few of my how to root threads like Droid X2, and Droid Razr M...

Rooting depends on several things, if a custom recovery can be flashed or booted, rooting is usually as easy as installing supersu.zip (once there is a twrp.img)

But that does not work with all devices, then a exploit must be found, sometimes there is a common vulnerability in android versions, or processor.

See XDA Root Directory

- Definitely easier to root then KFHD and 2014 HD

- Just follow the 2nd way to root on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/wip-achieving-root-thread-t3238152
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Yes, I did that method. It's the one sd_shadow has the video for. So quick and easy compared to what I'm used to. Couple other things:

- TK Gapps vs OpenGapps: Is it just a matter of preference or is OpenGapps "better" on this device? I used TK picoUni (and installed Xposed) and have about 32 Mb left in /system. Would I have more space with OpenGapps?

- You seem to have lots of scripts for different things, especially for killing off as much Amazon as possible. Is that right? I've got one to just do the basics for people who are OK with stock plus a custom launcher--it boots twrp; (helps user) install Supersu/Gapps/xposed; installs whatever apps user wants; makes launcher a sys app; disables OTA/firelauncher/etc. It's semi-smart: checks possible driver problems, OS info and files--so (most) users can't make big mistakes. Going to add "back-to-stock" since I see I'll be playing with this gadget for a while. Anyway, would this be helpful or is there already something similar around? Thanks.

I've asked this before and it was guessed that it was related to the FireOS but it still occurs on CM and Slim. Spotify, pandora, even local music players such as Apollo crash the system when the screen is off. What could be causing the issue? I tried looking at the logcat through ADB but the tablet only crashes when not charging and I'm not sure how to get the logcat recorded on the android system itself to view system crashes.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] su6ur6an:
Personally I'm using cm12 and xposed framework module 'xinternalsd'. First I move app to internal SD in CM settings, then use the xposed module to tell it to read from external.. Then move data and obb manually from android folder on internal SD to external. Not quite what you're looking for, but it might just get the job done
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulinjr:
That's the first really viable option I've heard of! Thank you! I'll have to try that! Those are basically the largest folders correct? So it would put the larger part of the games/apps onto the external SD. Is Xposed module an application or something I need to flash from recovery like gapps, ROMs, supersu? I'm sorry I'm still learning when it comes to Androids! Haha
