[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TheIdiotHere:
Today I also got the chance to try this on a brand new Kindle Fire HD8 2018, but Google's Launcher kept complaining about not being default. I ended up installing Nova Launcher instead, and managed to make it work with the following:

adb shell pm disable-user com.amazon.firelauncher
adb shell am start com.teslacoilsw.launcher
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] :
You are awesome! ?Worked perfect on my hd8 2018!!

Edit added: I used adb commands from here on xda to disable lockscreen ads but they returned in a day. Anyone know of any other adb commands to keep them gone? Thanks in advance.

I've been searching but have yet to find anything. I have a HD8 2018 8th ... [MENTION=9968114]TheIdiotHere[/MENTION]

I tried this on my brand new (unrooted) Fire HD 10 2017, with FireOS 5.4.6.0, build 636559820 (Aug 20, 2019), and I get the following response from adb shell:

Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=14189, uid=2000, package uid=32072​

What am I doing wrong? I ran this from an unprivileged cmd on my PC, but this shouldn't make a difference, right?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Drunkpilot:
The difference is that those commands were run in a different machine whose OS runs on Nougat and not Lollipop. HD8 8th generation is completely different than the HD10 7th gen, unfortunately.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] gumbyx84:
Anyone know if the commands wanderso used on his HD 8 8th gen would work on a HD 10 8th gen? I'm not sure if the HD 8 is running Pie
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Stock HD 8 runs a Nougat (Android 7.1) variant.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] gumbyx84:
Had a feeling. Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] machina77:
I can confirm that this works on Kindle Fire HD 10 (2019)

Using adb shell

Nova is now launcher

To reverse back to stock Fire launcher

Using adb shell
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] James160103:
Gave this a go, it does work but as soon as you disconnect the tablet from the PC it defaults back to the stock launcher :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] machina77:
Worked ok for me! I used Chromebook running Linux, can't explain why you're not working!!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] James160103:
Tried it on my Windows PC. Oh well, never mind, thanks anyway!

Used the Fire Toolbox instead, this worked really well!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] gdroid666:
is there any new launcher hijack APK ?

i have fire HD 8 (2018) been using launcher hijack for awhile now (didn't do any ADB commands)

it was working ok but of course bvery laggy and have to wrestle with it to actually get nova launcher to come up

sometimes needing to press the back button.

Nova was working with before but now i have a problem , the app switcher doesn't work anymore

if i hit the square app switcher button i see all my running apps but if i tap on them it won't switch to them , i hav eto go back to the home screen or app drawer and hitt he icon as if i am launching it for the 1st time

not sure what caused this, either a fire OS update or a nova update

anyone have this same problem or any ideas how to fix it

and should is there any AD commands i can use instead of using the launcher hijack APK

i thought they didn't work on this model and that launcher hijack is the only way
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] jasmineloveflower:
hi i just wonder i know this is about removing the launcher but i trade in my fire hd reasons toooooo slow and no google play store however, the one thing i loved about the tablet was the launcher so i was wondering if i can get a similar launcher to use on samsung s7 tablet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MiraculousSparkle:
Is there a way to disable default launcher?I tried all I could find but nothing works(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] peterallenbartlett:
So I just read that without dipping into the links after I do all that I can uninstall Amazon?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] offender1992:
Dumb question; I've installed everything as per tutorial and got the home button to default to the Nova Launcher but when I unlock the tablet, it defaults back to the Amazon skin of android and not straight to the Nova launcher.

Is this just how it works even though I selected the option to disable the Fire launcher when installing Nova?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Yanny 57 XDA:
Honestly Idk
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] coderzalmy87:
I used fire toolbox and the same thing happened
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oemenia:
Firstly when charging overnight, does the charger keep charging it to keep it at 100%? Secondly when playing games or other battery-heavy actions but its on charge, is the battery being used or is it drawing power from the charging? The reason this is important is that I would like to play games on it, and I'm into ones that require a play session of at least an hour. I don't want to wear down the battery so soon.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
When it reach 100% charger stop charging till it goes to 90% then it start to charge again.

Playing games during charge is not recommended cause it produce lot of heat and can kill ur battery quickly.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkuleszoss:
Playing games even during charging makes your phone slow discharging. I've tested it with my Z5 and Mortal Kombat. Standard chargers can't charge so fast. I don't know what about Sony fast charger because I don't have one. Maybe someone else can help.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
That's wrong it doesn't stop till it gets down to 90%

You can keep charging while playing games if you find that the game is using more charge than the charger is giving you can buy a better charger or disable some apps using battery
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
When I wake up in the morning the phone is always, always at 100% and when it's plugged in during charging and reaches 100% it does not stop charging and drop to 90% it stays at 100%.

You guys must be using dodgy chargers!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
It does stay at 100%, but everyone seems to be saying it drops to 90? That would be silly, it goes to 100% then powers the phone via the charger to keep the battery full.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
U guys don't understand what i mean it drop to 90%(never will happen), but i mean when it reach 100% the charging will stop otherwise the battery will heat up and explode.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Like I said in my previous post, it stops charging and leaves the battery at 100% and directs the charging current to the device itself so the battery will stay full whilst charging.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
The battery chargers can change the rate in which they charge, when they reach 100% the charger will drop the charging right back to a trickle to keep the phone topped up

Hello guys, am looking for stable rom(no freezes, random reboots) and it should be android 6.0.1?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Go to /system/etc and find a file called "camera_config.xml". Make a backup of it, in case something goes wrong.

+++ PANORAMA enable

Open the file, and find the line in the beginning that says:

<item name="mode_rear_supported">

mode_normal

</item>

Edit that section to this:

<item name="mode_rear_supported">

mode_normal,

mode_panorama

</item>

Save it and that's it. Now you have a MODE button in your Camera app that has an Auto and a Panorama option. Enjoy.

+++ HDR enable

Change this in camera_config.xml:

<item name="hdr_supported">

0

</item>

... to this:

<item name="hdr_supported">

2

</item>

Guys, report back if the photos are really better than before. I don't have much time to test around or compare them in photo editing apps or whatnot...

Why is the viewfinder black, you ask? Because my finger is over it, that's why.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
Tried it, didn't work, noticed that at mode_panorama an underscore is used, fixed it, works. The capturing is a bitslow imo
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] PukutisLG:
Need more options. Manualy adjust ISO.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
[MENTION=5525412]jonixas[/MENTION] Not here. Works fast for me.

[MENTION=7084921]PukutisLG[/MENTION] Buy a DSLR, then ;)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Belqta:
That works only for root phone or? Because i can't find system folder :D
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Only for root. How do you expect to modify system files without rooting?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Randar EST:
Tried it, works fine. But can we enable HDR mode somehow?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Check out first post! :D
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
It might be just me, but I'm not seeing much of a difference with HDR enabled.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
It was worth a shot...

Values in camera_config.xml:

1 enables it

2 enables it ( did not notice it changes anything )

3 makes Auto HDR available in the Camera options

I got somewhat better quality images, and larger in size with crisper details, by adding:

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

... in build.prop
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
Yes, me too... But yeah, it was worth a shot.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Just to know - HDR is not working on H440N... No flash is enabled in HDR mode (which is important actually for HDR mode). Panorama works fine.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Randar EST:
Tried it.. Works well. Any more tweaks coming to our camera app?:D
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
I've been playing with the camera for a couple of days. Even tried to enable super zoom, but that just caused the camera to go bonkers. I guess the panorama is the only thing we are able to get... but, I will keep snooping :D
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kamil79123:
[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION]

Panorama does not work. With that camera app gives FC. But HDR works.

I would recommend installing Open Camera from the Play Store, since that app is much more advanced than default Camera app. Been using it for a few days now, and I decided to make it my default cam app.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kamil79123:
[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION]

But photos from open camera have worse quality than from stock camera app.

[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
I also used OCamera for a few weeks, it was just a bit inconvenient to use for me.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Setting picture quality to 100% fixed the quality issues. It results in better quality than default Camera app.

It's all in the settings. Quality and convenience. It just needs a bit of setting up.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] polfrank:
How about Google camera? Is it worth trying? (I'm low on data, can't test myself.)

Tomo123

Where in build.prop find the path to ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality because I can not see it . Maybe a screenshot .

Or maybe you have to add at the end of buld.prop ?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
I had to add it myself.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] AnteLo:
Can somone give me stock camera_config.xml,because I f***** something in stock file.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Here is camera-config with enabled HDR and Panorama Mode, ready to use (unfortienatly original file from stock w/o mods isn't created :/ )
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] AnteLo:
Thanks
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] CodeBeast:
Works like a charm!

Thanks!
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Randar EST:
Lol... The HDR mode makes my pictures awful... Also taking shots in the dark is almost impossible...
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] SeaZz:
Yeah i noticed degraded quality from the default camera app , if i add this, is it going to be better?

Oh and Where should i put this code in build.prop file? :silly:
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] FalconRider:
It does not matter where you put it in the build.prop. I would to be safe use something like Kernal Auditor to add it instead of doing it by hand.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] SeaZz:
Is there any way to tweak any other camera setting like lg g2 (4k? or at least 60fps?)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
This device don't have 4K sensor and CPU isn't powerfull to run it... Also, CPU and sensor are not optimized for 60FPS (it would be nice to have 720p60 but unfortienatly...)... This is main reason why I would go with G3 in next couple of weeks (4K recording and 720p with 60FPS mode, and also my personal prefference because it is now way cheaper then before almost a year, unlocked variant D855)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] SeaZz:
On youtube (60fps videos) shows the 720p60 option. So i wanted to test 1080p60 video playback. I found a raw video at 1080p60fps (I Downloaded battlefield 4 trailer from e.a website) i tested it with mxplayer and it had no problem whatsoever. I think it's possible to capture at least 60fps on 720p with these specs. A friend of mine got the g3 about a week ago ,man that phone is nice. The only problem with it is the heat :/ sometimes it gets really hot !
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Playing and capturing/encoding video are two very different things.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] AnteLo:
You can change brust_shot_max_count to 99 to have 99 pictures in brust mode.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Android itself doesn't support changing the HDMI output resolution. Until it does, the SHIELD Portable won't support it either.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voideka:
So I've had my Z3C for about a year and the battery swelled up and pushed the back glass off. I've got a replacement battery but I was wondering if there was any way to check whether or not the battery is a counterfeit. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romcio47:
If it has all required labels and descipions then it's genuine. I think there is no sense in faking such battery because it's too unique component to do so.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voideka:
Cool, thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
What do you mean by counterfit? Are you wanting to know if the battery is a genuine OEM replacement or if it truly holds 2600mAh of electrical charge? If you only care about the charge, then you can just check the service menu or download a battery testing app.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romcio47:
Service menu on 5.1.1 does not allow checking the battery capacity anymore :C
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5642551:
I just received a notification on my 6P saying that the january security update is available. The thing is that I'm rooted with systemless root, xposed, EX Kernel and TWRP. Can I update using the update button?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
With systemless I believe you should be able to.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
I just posted about this too....no one got back to me. I got the same message and have more or less the same setup as you. I'm scared to reboot and update lol
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
No.

If you have TWRP installed you will not be able to take an OTA.

Why bother?

Just flash what you want.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
Ok, so if I reboot and my phone tries to install the OTA, what happens?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regenwurm16:
I have exact the same setup and tried to let the OTA install but in TWRP it aborted because of the mismatching kernel I think (at least it said it expected the generic device name Google angler etc and in stead it found Huawei nexus 6P Dees-troy etc)

So no harm is done when you try to update other than it doesn't work

But as far as I know when using xposed there's no use for systemless root because xposed is changing system partition
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
This update message won't go away. Can I flash it myself through TWRP with Xposed installed?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dratsablive:
You cannot use twrp with an OTA. You need stock recovery. Also I believe that Xposed modifies /system and that in itself would prevent the OTA with stock recovery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirkgbolton:
http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

I used step 10 from this guide then re-flashed TWRP, Super Su, ElementalX and everything seems to be fine, no data loss.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbeweakvato:
Nothing happens. it'll just fail to flash the update. It'll reboot to twrp, attempt to flash the update, and it'll fail the flash. So it just won't flash. Then you'll just reboot the system and nothing will be changed. I think you can flash these minor changes, but if you try to flash a major update through OTA it won't work with out stock recovery because that's part of the flash I think

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

It does not bored because of mismatched kernel. Because I tried flashing the stock kernel and then OTA and it still did not work
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
This. At this time it's the only fix. I did it as well. Never flashed a factory image via fastboot before so I was a little intimidated but Heisenberg's guide is so smooth and easy to follow I did it in about 5 minutes lol. Plus it was a great learning experience for me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfly212:
Is it likely that eventually TWRP flashable zips will make this process easier? Or is there some sort of restriction with these updates for Nexus phones that will always require fastboot?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
Not sure. I do know that the above method only took me about 10 minutes. Yeah it sucks you have to utilize a PC to do it but its really not that bad. Maybe in the future someone will figure out how to implement the updates via flashable zip in recovery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martini3001:
I struggle with this too. I really hope that someone will find a solution to flash it via .zip (sadly I'm more a programmer than an Android-hacker, otherwise I would try my very best right now :P ).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oven Mitt:
Just to point it out, it looks like the article you are referring to has been updated since it was linked. I wouldn't want to wipe userdata, so I think 11. How To Flash The Factory Images (Return To Stock But Leaving Internal Storage Intact) is what you were referring to at the time. Apologies for the resurrection. :)

And which Busybox?
[Wing, P4350 General] motoi_bogdan:
Here is my first theme made for the Herald. I'm new to this so I've begun by modifying the default htc touch theme and made it darker (close to black) and changed it a bit. Hope someone likes it. :p
[Wing, P4350 General] black hoodiez:
damn......nobody postes screen shoots
[Wing, P4350 General] motoi_bogdan:
it's like the basic dark grey-black htc theme for touch with some modifications to look better (In my opinion at least).
[Wing, P4350 General] RVM:
I'll check it out. I've been looking for a darker/better looking version of that theme. I can't post screenies yet, but I'll give a review.
[Wing, P4350 General] RVM:
Oh wow hey this is great man! I LOVE the blue text!

What I think would really make it look better is if you could make the theme match Schap's 2G dialer. Possible make the greys look less monotone. I'm not saying add pinks and crap to it, but make it less grey and more black, with some grey contrasts to it. Hard to explain what I mean, but basically the text adds some much needed color, and I think the greys could be changed to do the same, but only staying withing the black/grey spectrum.

The only thing I do not like is the background wallpaper. Something smoother and darker would be nice, maybe mix in some of the same blue color you've got on the text with it. Dunno.

Does any of that make sense?

Overall, I like it, and am going to use it until you release another one. :)
[Wing, P4350 General] robosiris:
You're on the money with this one. Taking what's already out, tweaking it, and making it better. Excellent.
[Wing, P4350 General] robosiris:
Your theme looks fairly decent. The text color in the start menu is blue as well.
[Wing, P4350 General] hjd:
THX I like it!
[Wing, P4350 General] motoi_bogdan:
thank you all for the apreciation.

I'm thinking of making a new theme, but currently looking for ideas. Does any of you have some ideas about some color combinations and background pictures? I'll make the theme and then i will upload it here. Any sugestions are welcomed.
[Wing, P4350 General] RVM:
Get rid of the grey shades. I hate grey and black together. Very dull. Keep the blue text, it looks great! I think a background image with some planets, or stars, or nebulae or something would be sweet with such a dark theme.

Make it a space theme!
[Wing, P4350 General] motoi_bogdan:
Ok, we'll go to space :) However, complex coloured images on the today screen may affect the text readability. I'll try my first space theme with a background image of the moon or some other bunch of planets laying arround.

The trouble with themes is that you can't satisfy all people because their different opinions regarding the ideal theme.
[Wing, P4350 General] RVM:
Ahh true. It's all good, make what you like, and to hell with everyone else! :D
