....hence the reason I have stuck with the schaps roms!

what i meant to put was a more advanced FILE manager!lol. the in built one is pretty basic and well, kinda crap. something along the lines of resco explorer, with each 'line' shaded in alternating colours to allow you to see it better. better ZIP and RAR integration also, the ability to assign file extensions to specific programs (a nicer and cleaner method to the registry technique)

at the moment i am using the 4.2 rom for hermes and im very very happy! i 'accidentally' discovered the finger scrolling technique and now PCM is redundant, saves more space. and is pretty nifty!

Well, an "advanced file manager" is also one of my plans for future softs... But I have a load of things to develop for now, so it will be for later.

Depois de instalar a ROM 8.1, na tela inicial de configurações assim que a ROM é instalada não tive a opção de restaurar meus aplicativos pela conta google. Como faço pra resolver isso?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] ro2342:
Hi.

You should ask your question in English.

Anyway, if you ain't able to do it, problably you didn't set a backup before performing a hard reset.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathult:
Hello folks!

A few days ago I decided to flash a new custom ROM over my stock ROM. I backed up a few applications using Helium Backup by ClockworkMod, along with my SMS and call logs.

As soon as I booted into the new rom (CM13, if your'e curious) I downloaded Helium and tried to restore from the backup. The resotration process of the app's data was easy and quick, but I just couldn't restore the SMS messages. Although I made a nandroid backup right before flashing, I didn't want to revert to it in order to rebackup and meesages with a different app/method. Today I finally succeed in restoring my 765 messages! Because it seems like many people couldn't restore SMS messages backuped by Helium (Google it and see for yourselves) I decided to write a quick tutorial about how I managed to restore the messages.

1. Copy the "carbon" directory from your internal storage to your PC.

2. In your PC, open the SMS/Call Logs backup file which is located under "com.android.providers.telephony" and is called probably "com.android.providers.telephony.ab".

3. In this file, there is a JSON string (it's length depends on the number of messages you have). Seperate it from the spaces and other crap.

You should end with something like this:

{
"content://sms": [
{
"address": "+123456789",
"read": 1,
"date": 1475770548864,
"type": 1,
"body": "Hello XDA!"
}
]
}

every JSON entity represents a message you sent or recieved.

4. Remove the "content://sms" while making sure the JSON is still valid. It will look like this:

[
{
"address": "+123456789",
"read": 1,
"date": 1475770548864,
"type": 1,
"body": "Hello XDA!"
}
]

5. Save it as a JSON and transfer it to your phone.

6. On your phone, download the following app which restores messages from JSON files.

7. Transfer the JSON file you made the uBackup directory in your phone's internal storage.

8. Hit restore!

Proof:

That's it guys, I hope it would help for people who made that didn't made a nandroid backup and Helium is the only place their important meesages are stored.

I have no idea how it works, but it did for me and hopefully for others.

P.S.: I couldn't find a way to retrieve the call logs. This is less important in my opnion because usually you dailer limits the number of saved calls to 500...

I ran the install-play-store bat, and the play store seemed to install ok on my hd8/6th gen. However, the removal of lock screen ads didn't work.... or at least not yet. Upon reboot, it initially showed a Google background/wallpaper (pic of some mountain or something) but then the amazon ad quickly appeared over it. Maybe this will kick in after some time and a few reboots...?

Fire ToolBox. New(refurbed 9th Gen HD 10). Get everything hooked up to 2 different PCs. On both, Toolbox can control removing the Amazon Icons from the Tablet and putting them back. Great!!! I then try to install Google Services. 7.Zip errors on both PCs. I'm not worried I can't get back to stock with a full reset, but I can't find anything mentioning 7.Zip errors. I'm game on trying to side load the mess, but not exactly sure the files nor the order. Even then I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens.

Never mind. I found tool box Ver. 11 and it worked fine for the install.

Now, my situation is different, since I have the 5th Gen HD8. My Google Store was so out-of-date that I couldn't even login to my account.

I can tell you that I reinstalled the final versions of Google Account Manager and Google Service Framework that were compatible with Android 5.1 (the Android version on my HD8) and then the most recent versions of Google Play Services and Google Play Store. I downloaded copies of all these installation files through ApkMirror.

I didn't lose any data or installed apps in that update process.

With my HD8 in "Airplane Mode" - which it is in almost 100% of the time - I have very slow battery drainage, and this tablet is quite a few years old now.

I don't remember my HD8 tablet being so darned slow, but I probably just forgot.

YRMV, of course.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terrapin2190:
I have a Fire HD 8 (6th Gen 2016) running current stock system software v 5.6.8.0 (626547120). Just wondering if there's a way to downgrade the software version to a previous version, before the new and boring home screen update!

I liked having different panels for diff categories. And it seems that ever since the UI 'upgrade' the battery life has decreased quite a bit.

I understand that by choosing to Reset to Factory Defaults, this downgrades the system software to a previous version. And not to flash a newer version than is currently installed on the device. Hoping to be able to flash to the last update before they change the home screen dash. If I only knew where to find the stock roms for Fire HD 8 2016... Which was the last version before they updated the UI... And how to install them lol.

I am somewhat familiar w Fire Toolbox and ADB.

Thanks in advance for reading any help provided :)

Edit: I did find Fire HD 6th gen system software updates on Softpedia. Questioning if that may be a good source to get them...

TL;DR - Is there any way to restore the old home screen UI on Fire HD (6th Gen 2016)? Or rollback system software to a previous version? Or am I just stuck w either stock firmware (after factory reset) or current version after OTA updates?

Hi,

I'm not new to Android, but this is my first Fire. It's the HD8 6th-gen. I've installed Google services with no problems, but I can't tolerate this stock launcher. I installed NovaLauncher, and it works, but it won't "stick" -- any time I go back home, it's to the stock launcher. I've tried a shell command to disable the stock launcher and, while it didn't return any errors, seems to have had no effect. I may well have entered the command wrong... In any case, does anybody have a suggestion? I would be so happy to be using Nova again...

Just received my Amazon Fire HD8 (6th gen) tablet. I noticed that if you enable developer options, there is an 'OEM unlocking' option which unlocks the bootloader when enabled. I am a bit of a noob, but shouldn't this help with rooting? Will this make it possible to install TWRP, for example?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnchalfant:
No, boot loader is locked regardless if you toggle it on. Best bet is to wait for KingRoot or DirtyCow root exploit.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
Yes, I sent a few commands in fastboot, but it is still locked. I contacted Amazon to ask if the bootloader unlock feature is planned for a later update, but the customer service guy did not know. He did remove the lockscreen ads for free though, so I should not complain too much. The 'OEM unlock' option is not in the developer options of the Fire 7 (2015) tablet, so why would they create a new menu item if they weren't planning to activate it?

I tried Kingroot (using Rootjunky's tool for the Fire 7, after updating it) on Fire OS 5.3.1.1 but it failed. I clicked on the request research link in Kingroot, but apparently I was only the second person to do so. This does not seem right to me. It is a relatively new tablet, but I would have thought they'd have received many more requests than this.
