[Fire General] DB126:
FWIW I use both CM and Nexus on different devices. Nexus is AOSP (pure Android); lean, stable (on this device; kudos to dev), feature complete and highly configurable via Xposed modules. While perfectly usable 'out-of-the-box' configuration takes time. CM shares many of the same attributes and has a suite of popular customizations tightly integrated into the ROM. A popular choice across a wide range of devices. Nexus is my daily driver on a HDX; 5th gen Fires are secondary devices and score CM.

Note the Nexus image includes GAaps and SuperSU simplifying installation.

Always best to flash ROM stand-alone if experiencing problems. Forget GAaps and SuperSU; both can be added later. Xposed only after everything else is working.

Take a deep breath, go slow, keep it simple.

For what it's worth, couldn't get link2sd to move programs in Nexus. It only works for me on CM
[Fire General] DB126:
Worked fine in Nexus for me. See below.

[Fire General] Robo-rooter:
Link2sd is working on my Fire 7 (5.1.2) with a Nexus rom . Link2sd links the apps to the sd card (it won't move them). Before linking the apps, I had about 500mb free on my tablet. After linking the apps (that I installed) to the sd card, I have about 3.5gb free on the tablet. I didn't touch any pre-installed apps, only the ones that I have installed, just to be on the safe side.

I'm using a 32gb sd card. It has a 14gb Fat32 primary partition and a 14gb ext4 primary partition. I partitioned and formatted the sd card on my laptop that has an sd slot and has Linux Mint installed. I used the Gparted linux partitioning program to set up the sd card.

I have the laptop set up to dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint. Both operating systems have been helpful the root, install the rom and prepare the sd card for the Fire 7.
[Fire General] ldeveraux:
couldn't get them to actually move until I used cm. On nexus, only some would even link. I had much better success on cm...
[Fire General] Robo-rooter:
All the apps I have tried (about 100) link. Before I loaded Link2sd there was about 500mb of free space on my Fire 7 internal storage. Now after installing Link2sd and linking all the apps that I have installed, there is 3.5gb free internal storage. With no apps installed by me, the system takes about 5gb. So Link2sd has given me back all the original internal free storage space.

ADDENDUM: The Fire 7 with just the Nova rom takes about 45 seconds to 1 minute to do a cold boot (from the time the power button is pushed until you can open the lock screen). The first time I booted after installing Link2sd and linking about 100 apps to the sd card, the tablet took 3 minutes to boot. The next time and for a couple of days, the tablet took 90 seconds to boot. Now after a couple of days, it seems Link2sd has sorted things out, and boot times are back to 60 seconds for a cold boot. Wow.

[Fire General] sd_shadow:
hotspot in FlashFire?
[Fire General] DB126:
Aside from posting in the wrong thread why would you expect this to work? Hotspot functionality typically bridges (loose definition) mobile and WiFi radios. 2015 Fire does not have a mobile radio.
[Fire General] Xplic1T:
Sorry, I must of typed this in the wrong window.

Flashfire works great though ! Thank you for the support. If I made a full 5.1.2 backup (says 5.1.1 but I have the locked bootloader for sure) and restore on CM12 or Nexus will it brick ?

I use this to host files through KWS Server on a private network when making presentations etc. CM11 does it for sure but a 5.1.1 or M rom doesn't work (this happens on my Nexus 2013) . Looks like google nixed it.
[Fire General] DB126:
Restoring a FULL backup from one rom to another makes no sense. Restoring the data (sometimes called user) partition may properly restore some items but will likely cause more problems than benefit. Stick to a clean install - moving personal data to the SD card or another storage device before flashing a different rom.
[Fire General] Herox:
Is flash fire known to crash or lock up? I followed instructions here using .30 and it has been sitting on installing for over 10 minutes. I don't wanna force it off but I think it might be stuck.

Edit: It got stuck and now wont enter recovery mode. When I don't try recovery it will start the slim logo but it gets stuck in an infinite loop.
[Fire General] DB126:
Known issue with FlashFire v0.30. Version 0.31+ recommended but that doesn't help you now. I don't believe there is a resolution other than contacting Amazon for a courtesy exchange.
[Fire General] mbholm:
Anyone have a good way to contact root junky? I think the latest supertool has 0.30.
[Fire General] DB126:
[MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION] - see previous few posts. Recommend v0.32 which has proven stable on this device. FlashFire v0.30 was not a good vintage - numerous reproducible issues.
[Fire General] Herox:
Well thats great. I'm on the phone with amazon now trying to see if I can get them to swap it.

Got a replacement coming Monday. Hopefully they wont screw me over when they turn it on and see the slim logo. I think I'm gonna skip this and just remove ads and keep the default kindle OS.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
Amazon doesn't care, as long as it's still under warranty
[Fire General] bmurphr1:
Thanks for this post, but would OP mind changing the first post to make sure that everyone uses FlashFire 0.32 since it has the best results and that it's better to store your zips on /sdcard instead of an actual micro-SD card as RootJunky did in his YouTube FlashFire video? I followed his steps and bricked a tablet only because I put my files on an external micro SD card...the replacement tablet I performed the same instruction set but left my zips within /sdcard and the flash worked like a charm.
[Fire General] Herox:
Does anyone have exact instructions for the new flashfire? Or are instructions the same as .27? I wanna change my kind but I don't want another bricked kindle fire. I'm on 5.1.2 rooted with OTA blocked and all.
[Fire General] DB126:
Flash defaults are fine with v0.32 (leave them alone). Anything higher remains experimental. If switching roms add a wipe action with system, user apps and dalvik checked. Wipe should be first in operations sequence.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lcohen999:
I am getting my TyTn this week, and the first thing, of course is WM6.

I know that it comes with the HTC Home which does look very interesting. However, one thing that I really need is the fantastic profile switching that PA has.

Does HTC home do this, or can anyone recommend a skin for PA which won't really take up much screen room but not lose the functionality

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] crazyC:
Hows this?

I only use the profiles, wifi and bluetooth buttons.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lcohen999:
That looks great.

I'd love to make those icons a little smaller as I need room for TodayAgenda, but I think you can do that via the skin, right?

How can I get that skin btw?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] crazyC:
Personally I would suggest looking through the skinning guide and example skins on the Pocketmax forum.

The one I use is a custom one that I did myself. I had one with a lot more buttons but it was a bit Iphone like and then I just cut most of it out when HTC Home arrived.

Some of the profile icons are work related (logos etc) but am happy to share the skin file so you can see how I did it. (I am sure you can find better drawn icons anyway)

Honestly, self taught from the skinning guide available on the PA forum and a few examples in a couple of days.

I have a cab file that installs it and my export file so my settings get put in.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptre:
I have a rooted S6 edge unlocked for US Cellular (G925R). I see a lot of ROMs here on XDA but moslty for other variants :(.

Is there a way to safely flash a ROM belonging to different version for the version that I have ? Is there a workaround that can accommodate this ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltdownSpectre:
I assume the G925R has an unlocked bootloader, which is how you got root.

You should be able to modify the updater-script in a ROM to allow it to flash properly on a G925R (zerolteusc), I guess a ROM for the T-Mobile S6 Edge could be edited to work on a US Cellular.

Don't try it without confirmation from a more experienced member though. I'm just saying, editing the build prop will work, but T-Mobile is a GSM based carrier whereas US Cellular is CDMA, so not sure if the ROMs for the G925T will work on your phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptre:
Thanks, I will look further. Pardon me if I am asking a silly question but I see an option to choose the preferred network mode as LTE/CDMA or LTE/GSM. Also my device has a SIM card slot so is this device capable of both CDMA and GSM ?Currently I am using a Tmobile SIM in it and I have also tried an AT&T SIM, both worked as I could make calls. I am asking this as I am planning to use this phone outside US and if the device is CDMA only it will not be able to work on the networks outside.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltdownSpectre:
No problem.

Pop in a SIM Card of your choice and you can use the phone on most GSM based carriers even abroad.

You mentioned that AT&T and T-Mobile were working, so you're all set.

Verizon, US Cellular and Sprint devices are CDMA but they have a SIM slot. So they will work with GSM carriers provided they are unlocked. :)

Oh, and about the network mode, select the right one depending on your network. If you're on a CDMA network, choose LTE/CDMA or if you're on a GSM carrier, choose LTE/GSM.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 341464:
Like, I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this issue. Whenever I do something with the system, boot back up, first prompt telling me to enter my password to continue the boot, works. However, when I hit the system, enter the lock screen, it sometimes ask me for another password just in case. This second time I enter the password, wrong. I had made sure that my password was right, nope, still locked out. I had to use "No Lock for Home 2" Xposed module to somehow get pass this freaking lock screen. Am I the only one experiencing this issue or did I do something wrong?

I have tried almost everything,

1) Try to set a new password via Android Device Manager (LOCKED STILL)

2) Going to Security -> Password -> Typing the password all over (LOCKED STILL)

3) Going to Security -> Switching lock type to none -> Setting password again (LOCKED STILL)

4) Going to Security -> Switching to PIN (FINALLY WORKED)

What's bizarre is that under the Security settings my password apparently works, just not on the lock screen.

I would honestly prefer password over PIN and this is driving me insane. Is there a way to wipe the security settings in TWRP safely? Last time I tried deleting gatekeeper.password.key under /data/system in TWRP File Manager, it worked but FC whenever I try to set a new password.

Hello folks,

So, I have the Kindle Fire (with the stupid 5.1.1 update, THANKS AMAZON!) and I got Google Play, GAPPS, etc all loaded and working just fine.

Chromecast App sees that I have netflix installed.

Netflix does not have an icon in the menu area for casting the app to the chromecast.

Is there any fix or special permissions or hackery for this?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, so I've read until my head hurts. So please take pity on me if there is a thread that answer this question already. Please direct me if that's the case...

On to my problem.

I was running Optimal Rom 13-1 just fine minus the Samsung bluetooth glitch. But since There have been updates to that ROM since, I figured I'd update to 15-5.

I followed these instructions.

1. Download and install NI2Flasher.apk

2. Download and copy G900V_*_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip to sdcard.

3. Run NI2Flasher and select flash.

4. Grant root access for NI2flasher

5. After the app flashes the NI2 kernel tap the reboot button.

----This will reboot your device directly to Safestrap.

6. BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM!!!

7. Flash OptimalROM_*_BigBot96.zip

7. Do NOT forget to flash the G900V_*_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip afterwards.

----If you do forget you can always select recovery at the Safestrap splash screen.

8. Reboot system after flashing kernel

I chose the G900V_OG5_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip MD5: 0c1a06d1358cdfd19513043ee370dac1 file.

I am now in 15-5 Optimal ROM without Root and no ODIN access.

Phone seems glitchy which makes things worse. Play store FC's.

Cant install BusyBox. Im sure there's more.

Please assist as I am frustrated at this point.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asianswagster:
Some people have been reporting washed out displays on new nexus phones (Nexus 6p and 5x) and this has happened to me. However, I found the solution. Follow the following steps.

1. Go to settings.

2. Tap about phone.

3. Tap build number 7 times (or until it says developer options are enabled).

4. Go to developer options.

5. Scroll down until you see "Show Surface Updates" and enable it.

6. You should see purple flashing every time something on the screen moves. Scroll up and down a couple of times and then disable "Show Surface Updates".

7. Your screen should be back to normal.

You mentioned having root access on this phone. How'd you get root? I've been searching forever for this exact model of the Life One and this is the only thread that makes mention of it.
[Android General] smtddr:
towelroot, I think. I tried all kinds of rooting exploits for all kinds of phones... but it was towelroot that first caused SuperSU to prompt me Grant or Deny, then suddenly I had root.

I have a suspicion that it was a mix of towelroot, a file called "mt6589_rooting_pkg.zip" and do a google search for android rooting using this exploit CVE-2014-3153 . I wish I knew exactly which one, but I was just trying everything really fast. I didn't even notice SuperSU.apk getting installed. Just suddenly it popped up and I had root after trying all those exploits.

I can tell you though, that I did _not_ use Kingroot.

UPDATE#24

So, right now I'm on git clone -b kk_rb5 --depth 1 git://codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.10 kk_rb5, commit fe85dc23da0b36704f10b7d980017a5d82fabb8a kernel 3.10.40. It seems be the one that accepts the .config from the stock kernel while asking the least amount of questions. I still get my linux penguin on start up since I enable that in the dt files, then all the ext4 partitions get mounted on my PC.

I really want to see the boot messages, so far I've tried:

/proc/last_kmsg - I don't have and I see no where in menuconfig to enable it

Framebuffer-console - Doesn't work, even with BLU's kernel source the device just boots up normally and I see nothing. But, "adb reboot" and the whole device freezes for 2mins before the reboot happens.

CONFIG_PSTORE_CONSOLE , is suppose to give me /sys/fs/pstore/* a bunch of logs from a previous kernel boot. I get nothing. I think drivers have to register to be part of this with pstore_register().

github.com/Tasssadar/kernel/commit/b1c614341dbc04ec1ace604f0b4903944dd8aa9d , from this thread xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295621. I tried using my intuition to make these changes in my newer kernel(the code isn't exactly the same as the code that person modified), but didn't work. Phone just stays on white-BLU-logo, no penguin.

USBOTG, still haven't tried this.

UPDATE#24.b

Random googling about my phone's partitions mounting to my computer turned up some info. QHSUSB__BULK is a known issue with Android phones in specific situations. The productID seems to serve as an error code. With the kernel I'm working with now, I get:

[4039781.339003] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=9091
[4039781.339010] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[4039781.339013] usb 1-2: Product: QHSUSB__BULK

That Product ID (PID), 9091, is trying to tell me something. I don't see a chart out there telling me what all the error codes are. The only thing people talking are doing is to bring the phone into a state where they can flash it into a known good state. I don't want to flash my phone into a known good state, I want this kernel to work.
[Android General] smtddr:
UPDATE#25

Whoa, so... the screen comes on but is blank... and... MY MUSIC APP PLAYS MUSIC WHEN THE HEADPHONES ARE PLUGGED IN!!!!!! Even the Volume buttons work!

This is amazing to me! That means this kernel is good enough to run, that Android starts up and PowerAmp can play music! ....from the external microSD card even!

I'm very shocked that adb still doesn't see the phone though.... that's odd.

The changes I made to reach this point, was comparing the dts & dtsi files that BLU sent me and slowly try to add missing sections to the new kernel, but not modify sections that already exist.

UPDATE#25.b

After some more testing, the configuration to get music playing is very specific. I have to go into the dts & dtsi files and remove splash screen, that means in the fb_primary section I remove qcom,mdss-fb-splash-logo-enabled; and in the file "msm8916-qrd-skui.dtsi" remove the part that adds qcom,cont-splash-enabled; to the selected video-mode:

&dsi_otm1284a_720p_video {
/* qcom,cont-splash-enabled; ....I'm commenting this out */
}

Then, in .config enable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE & Peguin logo:

You won't see a peguin or any framebuffer showing you boot up logs. The white-BLU bootloader logo will flicker a few times then the screen will go blank. Then in about a minute or so my music app kicks in through the headphones.
