I have been playing with the latest SlimMarsh and need to get Kernel Adiutor working, which reports that my kindle fire otterx is not rooted. so, the obviously dumb question is: how do I root?

I tried with the saferoot zip and it gives this error when it tries to invoke the getroot executable:

T:\kf\saferoot>install.bat

--- Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 Root ---

--- Based on the CVE-2013-6282 exploit by cubeundcube ---

Do you want to install Busybox on your device [Y/N]? y

Thanks for any help.

fyi: on otterx, and trwp 3 for otterx.

UPDATE: this is no longer an issue after playing around with SuperSu and rebooting a few times. I don't quite know what did the trick, but RootChecker tells me that root access is properly installed and I was able to run Kernel Adiutor and make the adjustments recommended.

gmail accounts do not work in the mail app

So far, it looks impressive that this runs quite well on the KF.

There is some issue with the mail apps (built-in) and the Gmail app from the PS. Neither app seems to work with any of my gmail accounts. When I go into the Gmail app, and try to add a gmail account, it reports that it is already added, and helps me find it, but goes into a loop on that. I have added a yahoo acct and can read email on that just fine, but the list of email accounts in the mail app only shows that one yahoo acct.

Curiously, the notification drawer seems to notify me of new emails even from the gmail account.

:confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
Did you try clearing cache and data on the Gmail app?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GLInick:
thanks for the suggestion.

yes, I already tried that

UPDATE: problem solved. my bad. 2 factor authentication requires an app-specific password if the app doesn't support verification.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobJayJr:
Here's what worked for me:

- install developer options (under "about tablet" tap "build number" repeatedly until developer options appear)

- in developer options disable "root device" exit and re-enter "root device" select "apps + adb" exit again. You should be good to go.

Rooting and GAPPs

Hi, all. This might be of some help. i took an alternate path to rooting and went for the very lightest GAPPs version:

1) Grabbed what looks to be the latest build from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687390

2) Used the ARM/6.0/Pico version of OpenGapps: http://opengapps.org/

3) Used this version of SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/897/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip

Flashed ROM, GAPPs and SuperSu. After boot and sign-in (both of which took a while...be patient) I installed BusyBox and Kernel Adiutor. Set low memory killer and in developer settings set animations to zero.

Seems pretty snappy.

Nice work, [MENTION=4630246]Hashbang173[/MENTION].
[Kindle Fire Android Development] t3chwizard:
Even better, NO GAPPS ***shocked reactions***
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Did you flash the rom, gaps and SuperSu simultaneously, or one at a time with reboot in between?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Queued them all up in TWRP, one flash.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Sorry Koop, one last question.. In advanced wipe, did you wipe everything as Steve said in the OP (if coming from another Rom as I am .. I have cm11 installed) or do you leave internal data alone?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
I wiped data as well. Factory Reset, then Advanced for Caches, System and Data. But I have been using my Kindle for testing for so long.....didn't mind having to set up everything again.

You can always try leaving Data. If things get wonky, wipe and redo.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Thanks Koop.. All set and running nicely.

Why would I want/load busy box? I have downloaded it as you suggested, but it's all running okay without installing (so far). I've never used it before...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Not a requirement by any means. And don't think less of me for this...but I can't remember why I installed it. Either someone was having an issue with it and I was trying to help or an app asked for it...maybe Kernel Audiator? I can't recall.

But isn't it running nice for an old tablet?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Honestly Koop, I am amazed at how well it runs. It's extremely smooth, full of advanced features and so much more advanced than the time stamp on the back of the old girl.

I'm also impressed at the battery consumption so far. I haven't loaded it up yet but with the minimum apps loaded it has used very little battery.

Feels like a brand new tablet, and is so cool to use. Absolute thanks to the developers who continue to develop for this little marvel [emoji106]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GLInick:
What do you guys use for a browser on this rom? the stock one seems to be faster than all others, but still it is slow as molasses for nearly everything (not even fancy websites, and only one tab). It is not usable. Never mind installing a weather app of any kind. They make it crawl to a halt.

I am using what appears to be the latest ROM (cm-13.0-20160116-UNOFFICIAL-otterx). For gapps I am using (open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160217). Will the tablet be a little more responsive if I use say the pico version of gapps?

Is there any additional tuning I could do, other than the tricks stated in the first few posts?

Any SlipPop ROMs to recommend?

No root

I don't have root privileges after installing rom. How do I root? I have TWRP and the rom is installed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
A couple of options to enable root

1. settings>about tablet >tap on build number 7+ times, to enable Dev options>go back to Settings>Developer options>Root access>Apps and ADB

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasperoni:
Hi,

I would like to have a gesture control app like I had on my Cubot X9. It would be enough for me to have a possibility to switch the screen off and on by double tab.

That app I had on my previous phone allowed me to switch the display off by doubletap the home button and wake the phone up by simply double tapping anywhere in the display.

This was cool and pre-installed. But I don't see any option like that in MIUI and I don't know which app I could download for doing it.

I am using the xiaomi.eu Rom 5.11.1

Please help

Thanks

So got my phone today, everything else works fine but the scandic letters (ä, ö, å) dont show in almost every app and in the settings.

So whats the problem with that? Its a bit anoying to example try to write a message when i dont see the scandic letters. Yes i can write them but i dont see them in some Apps.

Edit. It doesn't help if i change the android language to English. Example. SwiftKey doesn't show me the scandic letters in the prediction bar.

Edit2. The problem is very weird, in some apps (Facebook, whatsapp), in some lines the scandic letters work and in some lines it doesn't show. So example in Facebook in someone's post it shows the scandic letters but in the next one it doesn't show.

Edit3. Factory reset solved the problem

ALL of the questions you've asked are answered in the existing threads, all you have to do is them.

This will sound harsh but needs to be said. So after you get over not having your hand held re-read things.

We aren't here to hold your hand and personally answer your questions which are already answered. Quite honestly this isn't the place for you, I gave you tips in the other thread which [MENTION=5835372]moonryder[/MENTION] also answered in.

The tools this community has to help you help yourself are quite extraordinary.

Have you even run XperiFirm yet? I suspect not but you're bound to claim you have, not many people are brave enough to say they haven't when they get called out.

If you've run it and can't work it out this forum is not the place for you, or at least not the place for you to ask questions. There is more than enough reading available for you to learn. After you've read it you shouldn't need to ask the basic questions you've asked here.

Also there is information available elsewhere, you can use Google right? Or at least follow links to the developers websites for the apps, tools and recoveries you will be trying to use.

[Nook Touch General] lumiina:
I recently got rid of my old gmail account and created a new one. I deleted accounts.db from my nook and re-registered with my new gmail address through the Market.

Gmail and calendars synced fine after this, but the Market will not download any apps and the Nook isn't listed as a device under my new google account.

Is there any way to fix this besides re-rooting? I was about to re-root, but after thinking about all the apps I have to reinstall and the settings I have to fix, I decided it wasn't worth it. I have my nook set up nicely and won't necessarily need the Market, plus I'm pretty sure I can still side-load apps anyways so could just find the APK for stuff instead.

But, if there is a way to fix the Market without re-rooting, I'd love to know.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
It may be too late unless you have a backup containing the accounts.db file, but take a look at this.
[Nook Touch General] lumiina:
Thank you so much for your response.

Although it was a frustrating process, I did end up re-rooting. It was worth it in the end to re-root. I also did not back up my accounts.db when I had deleted it, so as you said, I think it was too late to do anything about it.

But to add to the discussion, when I go to manage applications in the launcher I use, Home[+], there's no option to clear data for Google Apps, only to clear the cache. Other apps like Google Talk allow for their data to be cleared.

I tried rooting my G2 using this guide, and seem to have f'ed up somehow.

The phone now won't boot (stuck at the "LG" screen, with rainbow LED), and I can't get into download mode.

The strange thing is that I do get into recovery mode, but it seems to exit abruptly. When I try to recover (by selecting yes twice), the Android recovery icon shows up for a couple of seconds, but then it goes back to the "LG" boot screen again.

I would be grateful for any help.

I've tried connecting to a computer with Ubuntu, as per this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142, but I was unable to mount the phone.

It does show up in the device manager in Windows, under "Portable Devices".
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FonderPrism:
I've disovered that the guide I followed for rooting was for G3 phones (and the G2 D805). I'm guessing this could be part of my problem.

But the guide said that I should be safe, since I had Lollipop. The Download mode should be able to save me if anything went wrong. But alas.

Before starting the rooting process I had the latest Lollipop update from LG (it was performing poorly, that's why I wanted to install a custom ROM).

Is it possible to save this phone? I'll probably look for a good deal on the 5X at Black Friday if I can't fix the G2, but I'd rather keep this phone working for a while anyway.
