[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franztesca:
I'm developing an automated rom install tool for Windows. I want to install a rom through TWRP recovery and get the install result (success/error) through adb.

I use "adb push file /sdcard/file.zip" to push the rom file on the device and then "adb shell twrp install /sdcard/file.zip" to install it. The stdout of the adb command is the TWRP message you see on the device. I could simply parse the message to get words such "error", but the default TWRP language is sometimes not English and since the message is in the same language of TWRP I cannot rely on that

I could also use "adb shell twrp sideload" to start the device sideload and then "adb sideload file" to install the rom, but the output of that is just "total xfer: 1.00x" in both success and error cases.

I tried also changing the TWRP language through ADB, but I did not find the way to do that. I can use "adb shell twrp set tw_language en" to set the language to English, but if I don't reload the theme it doesn't change the language and the only way to reload the theme is by using the interface on the device (not through adb)

How can I do that? Thank you

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcervinka:
I have the same problem with my Kindle 8 HD (7th generation). The app is crashing as soon as it's accessing a folder or email containing a "+" sign in address.

Tried Google Inbox instead - works fine as long as not opening a mail sent to such an address (i.e. my_name+amazon@gmail.com). Opening such mail results in crashing instantly. All other mails can be opened without problems.

Because the originally installed email client always works, I'm not sure if it's a problem of Gmail or Fire OS or combination of both.

Post Preview:

I see the gmail crash issue on my 2016 HD8 6th gen when I look at a message with an attached file or embedded photo. Plain vanilla email (text) seems to work. If the suspect message is at the top of my inbox so that it opens automatically, then gmail crashes when I start it. I managed to delete the offending email in the split second before it crashed, then it stayed running until I stumbled into another "bad" message. My OS was just updated to 5.4.0.0 last week, it might be related to that update but I don't use it every day to be sure. Google inbox seems to have similar crashing issues for me.

To my understanding the ACCESS_ALL_DOWNLOADS permission can only be granted to apps with the same signature as DownloadProvider. I don't know if this has anything to do with Amazon's customization of Android 5.1.1, but I wouldn't be surprised. I welcome someone more familiar with Android permissions to evaluate the log.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segfaultd:
This problem is happening because Gmail tries to automatically download the attachments and the permissions in fireos prevent it. A workaround is to disconnect the WiFi, open Gmail (shouldn't crash without internet) and disable the automatic download of attachments in its settings. After this you should be able to use the app without crashes, if you need attachments just save them to Google Drive without downloading them directly.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEJohnsonJr:
@Segfaultd - Thanks for the tip. I think you're on to something. Disabling the internet connection does allow Gmail to run without crashing, and I can go into Settings and deselect the option to automatically download attachments. Unfortunately, once I re-enable the internet, Gmail goes back to crashing.

Any other ideas? This is really frustrating!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyepye:
This happened to me. I fixed it on my Fire HD8 2017 simply by clearing the app from the recent apps menu (square in the bottom right) and then reloading it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniquely:
Same here, in Airplane Mode I can run Gmail, can disable automatic attachment download, also set Images to "Ask before showing". But once internet is re-enabled, also crash is back. An update seems at least to work, i.e., those emails which I deleted while no internet connection, are really deleted from the inbox.

Any solution would be very, very welcome. Otherwise loving my new Fire HD 8.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackie78:
Thanks, unfortunately this didn't fix it for me, disabled automatic download of attachments, but as soon as I sync Gmail again, the app still closes. Any other settings that need to be altered?

Solved- Gmail disappears on Fire tablet

I just got my first Fire Tablet (HD8 Gen 7) from Amamzon Prime day and am new to Fire as well as Android. I've had iPhone and Windows PCs for years. I am an IT Tech as well. But I had the same problem with the Gmail app disappearing. After searching many posts with nothing fixing the problem, I decided to think out side the box a little. I had found posts about a similar problem, "Play store apps stop working after Alexa update". I figured my new HD8 was essentially in the same situation since it came with Alexa and I had installed the 4 recommeded apk files needed to hack it so I could access the Google Play Store.

So, I decided to try the (after Alexa update) fix which has you install 2 updates.

(Darn... Since I'm a new user here, it says I can't post a link. So search google for "how-to-fix-google-play-on-fire-tablets-after-update". Go to the first result and use the 2 links at bottom of the page.)

Install Google Account Manager 5.1-1743759.

Install Google Services Framework 5.1-1743759.

Restart tablet.

That's what I did. But the problem still existed. So I uninstalled the Gmail app and went back to Google Play Store and reinstalled the same Gmail app. And now it's working. Let me know if this works for you as well.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trovatrice:
Thank you. That did help. Gmail now stays lit, and seems to be syncing new messages, but it's still not quite right. When I tried to send myself a test message, it crashed again (even after a reboot).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeranoe:
For me, disabling Sync under the Gmail account settings and automatic attachment downloads seems to have worked. I can send email and open emails with attachments. Be sure to restart the app too after making the change.

Only downside is they don't automatically download, but at least it doesn't crash for me.

Hello everyone,

I have recently tried adding the missing permission to the Inbox app, however I believe they check signatures when you attempt to sign in, so it was kind of useless.

Not sure why or how. But a user on a Fire HD 7 got Gmail to work. I can confirm this as Gmail is also working for me (I'm on the Fire HD 8). He says he completed the steps and it worked. I've not used the tool at all so you got me on this one. Nonetheless Gmail works.

Try installing Android Webview. DO NOT uninstall Amazon webview.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Download from play store. When possible, download Google apps from play store. If you have any you installed from an APK, I would uninstall them via settings and reinstall from the store. I had issues with some Google APKs. I uninstalled via settings and reinstalled from the store. Haven't had any issues since. That's my only other guess. Also when uninstalling or reinstalling...or any 'stall', you should always reboot. I usually use ADB to reboot into recovery, wipe the cache, power down, then power on.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

Might also be Fire Launcher. If you use or want to use another launcher, go here and follow the steps. Remember to backup your current Fire Launcher APK and be prepared for a possible reset. I just remembered the last time I tried Gmail, was before I figured out that method.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crash4fun:
My Gmail works on my Kindle Fire HD8. I had to disable wifi, and turn off the setting for automatically downloading attachments. I think I rebooted once as well, just to be safe.

The problem as I see it is most people wouldn't think to do this. So this is an issue I created for the Inbox app, because Inbox has the same issue, and it does not have this setting, and as a result it does not work on these Amazon devices period.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I don't think it's that. I didn't change any settings on my tablet or through Gmail, after my last reset. At least none that would have any effect on whether Gmail worked or not.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obvious:
It's the strangest thing. I've got all the Google services etc installed from play store where possible. Removed firelauncher. Got shortcuts working in nova. Installed android webview. Removed Amazon apps using the latest tool. Disabled ota as well. I even did the little trick with the user profile pic.

The only thing left is gmail. I've installed/uninstalled/wiped cache with sdmaid/ wiped cache manually + cleared cache partition.

Sometimes I can swipe through 40 emails but eventually it crashes and subsequently crashes on launch.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I'm going to make a list. today perhaps, of what I uninstalled, when I did it and etc. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the way everything is uninstalled and what you install thereafter (whether using the tool or manually). It crashed on me once, when I first opened it. Then it works fine thereafter.

I just got done with a reset because somehow, not even remotely sure how, com.amazon.kindle.otter.settings managed to migrate it's way out of /system and onto the internal SD card. It created a whole mess of problems. Again, I've no idea how that happened. Nonetheless, I backed up all my apps to my external storage card (32G card :D), I reset, skip Amazon setup and DID NOT TURN ON WIFI. I then transferred all my apps to the tablet and installed them one by one (installing Gmail and the Google App later). Use adb to reboot into recovery: adb reboot recovery, wipe the cache once, powered down tablet then powered it on. Then I tapped each app I just installed to make sure they're all active and running, so when I uninstall amazon apps, the new apps are sure to take over. Then I started to uninstall the Amazon apps one by one (will make a list later. Though it will be what I have left on the device as opposed to what I uninstalled). Once done, reboot to recovery using ADB, wipe the cache once, power down then back on. That's when I install Gmail and Google from the play store. Then make sure Google location services are on. You can do that whenever you want.

Oh, and does your download app work? Mine consistently says "no downloads" so I browse to downloads using a filemanager
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I just copy and pasted them to my SD card. There are two download managers. One that came with the tablet and one with your browser, in my case Chrome. I rarely ever use them in terms of navigation. Almost always use my file manager, Total Commander.
