[Moto Z Questions & Answers] gomisensei:
they will even refuse to fix hardware issues if the bootloader status is or ever has been unlocked. Pretty sure this practice is illegal in the US, but in Canada, they refuse with reason "device unrepairable" .
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] GitaraSiema:
Thanks for your answer, I'm very glad how that phone works now, but no risk no fun. I probably install Lineage 15 or 16 one day :p Likely in Europe warranty is also refused by unlocking bootloader :(
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Loader009:
Hardware issues have to be repaired in germany within the warranty. But dunno if they would repair something which might have damaged with software... e. g. overclocking/-volting.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] cilk:
I had my bootloader unlocked, after a couple of month my bluetooth stoped working. I just relocked my bootloader and sent my device to my carrier for repair. They changed mainboard and repaired my device and they never noticed it. If you have already unlocked it and have problem after ... just try it they might still repair it.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] The Unknown123:
My Moto z was on aokp and then died from nowhere. I sent it in under warranty and they swapped the Motherboard.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] cilk:
Just have to try it, worst case is they will refuse it.

Btw, I have to send my device again .... they didn't glued back the screen properly. I will ask for a replacement I can't accept this for a phone I bought new of this value.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ushmel:
I'm trying to upload (to Instagram) some videos I took using a digital camera and the sound isn't working within the Android system. I have tried downloading from Google Photos (where the sound works when streaming), and uploading via USB, neither have produced sound.

The sound will not work in any apps I've tried including Google Photos and Instagram. Remuxing into .mp4 or .mkv doesn't help the situation, there is still no audio in the android system. I'm trying to avoid having to demux and convert the audio to another format.

Has anyone had this issue before? Searching around isn't giving me any results. Using videos from this digital camera has worked for me up until fairly recently, within the last year IIRC. I can't change the camera settings to encode audio in another format, it currently captures it in "PCM S16 LE (sowt)."

Running stock 7.1.1 (N6F27H), Magisk 12, elementalX, TWRP. Digital Camera is a Fujifilm Finepix F750exr.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
.mov files are difficult on many devices. Have you tried playing in in VLC for android? If that app won't play it, it isn't going to be played on android ?

Converting the container (.mov to .mp4) won't help unless the audio format is converted as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ushmel:
Interestingly enough, the audio plays in VLC, but it is very laggy/stuttery. I don't suppose there's a way to (excuse me if this is stupid) add/update codecs in Android? I swear this used to work fine but something must have updated/changed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
VLC may use Android libraries for the most common video formats, but it contains the rest within the app. MOV files I believe aren't common enough to have built-in Android support, so you might want to look into beta versions of VLC, as they may fix your issues. At the same time, see if another app is interfering with playback.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ushmel:
How can I determine if another app is interfering with playback?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you're rooted, install a logcat reader like Logcat Extreme and run it at the same time you run the movie. After the movie has played, check the Logcat.

I don't know if you're running Windows or not, but I would look for a version of the video that is more compatible with both the PC and the device. I had a problem with a few of my old MOV files on my PC not having sound in Media Player Classic HomeCinema. I ended up replacing those files with AVI versions that I found online.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ushmel:
Cool, I'll set up the log in a bit and look around.

This is unfortunately the format that my old digital camera outputs into. It might just be time to look for a new one.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Look for a converter. But, you have a new camera. The N6 can do video.

Enable Widgets:

Reference: /system/bin/appwidget

# Script to start "appwidget" on the device, which has a very rudimentary shell.
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/appwidget.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.appwidget.AppWidget "$@"

1. Use a file manager like Total Commander and navigate to /system/bin/

2. Locate appwidget and copy it to clipboard.

3. Paste the file to your PC desktop and open it with a text editor. I use Notepad+++. You do NOT need to make any edits.

4. Click file, and save as appwidget.sh and save it as a Unix file type. (If using regular Notepad, save it as the ALL FILES file type)

5. Copy appwidget.sh and paste it into the internal storage of your fire (sdcard).

6: Open ADB and type:

adb shell appwidget grantbind --package <PACKAGE.name.of.your.launcher> --user <USER_ID>

(USER_ID = 0)

Or, if above doesn't work:

adb shell appwidget grantbind --package <PACKAGE.name.of.your.launcher> --user current

Now add your favorite widgets through your favorite launcher :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] simpsons403:
So the .sh file just needs to be sitting on my desktop when I run that code in ADB? I entered it and then a new line came up letting me enter more code and I assumed that meant it executed successfully. Placing widgets with Nova Launcher still takes me to the Kindle Fire Settings app though. Any ideas?

EDIT: Must have typed something wrong. Working now after retrying everything. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Yes. The script file appwidget.sh needs to be run through ADB. You won't be able to use a terminal emulator, so far as I know.

Usually if you are successful at running an ADB script/code, a new line will appear with nothing on it like this example:

shell@giza $
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I edited the steps to show you have to copy the .sh into the internal storage of your fire, then run the script through ADB.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Also, if you want to switch launchers, you need to run the script again.

Is anyone good at script writing? I would like to see if we cn do something like this for live wallpapers. I have yet to find a 'widget' for them.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] r3bell:
Thanks this sounds great . However could you explain the steps for a complete noob.

I get the steps from 1 on wards but what am I supposed to do with the initial code.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
All you need to do is paste the .sh to your internal and sdcard and copy and paste the command into terminal Emulator: sh /sdcard/appwidget.sh

That activates the widget functionality. The final two commands are what bind a package to use widgets. In my case, I use Nova launcher so I would bind the functionality to it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] r3bell:
Thanks got it to work was using the wrong package name :silly:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bikebimmonds:
I get an error that the package can't be opened

"can't open com.teslacoilsw.launcher_53000: No such file or directory"

Do I need to be in the location that the package is installed in or in the /sdcard directory?

Thanks for all the hard work - Replacing fire launcher is awesome!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Nova Launcher package name is: com.teslacoilsw.launcher
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Ritter3435:
I'm pretty new with Android and all these new tools, but for the sh /sdcard/appwidget.sh command, is it just adb shell and then run the command with appwidget.sh in the root storage folder of my device?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
adb shell sh /sdcard/appwidget

Then the next one or two commands to bind the function to whatever launcher you use.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] obvious:
EDIT: THIS ACTUALLY WORKS PERFECTLY

So I'm getting the syntax wrong I think

I'm literally typing:

adb shell appwidget grantbind --package com.teslacoilsw.launcher --user 0

Tried the other one too but just going back to settings when placing a widget
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
hmm. and you're using Nova launcher? How are you placing the widget and what is the type? Are still registered with amazon and is fire launcher still installed?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Now that I think about it, when I found this and got it to work, I had 1) not been registered to Amazon 2) I had already uninstalled Fire Launcher. Fire Launcher is ordered to immediately kill the appwidget functionality. I pasted below the instructions. However if you go to terminal emulator and navigate to internal storage, with appwidget.sh still there you can see the instructions. If you try to run the commands through emulator, you will get errors and yes they will be real errors :P Widget script and function can only be activated via ADB.

shell@giza:/sdcard $ sh appwidget.sh
usage: adb shell appwidget [subcommand] [options]

usage: adb shell appwidget grantbind --package <PACKAGE> [--user <USER_ID> | current]
<PACKAGE> an Android package name.
<USER_ID> The user id under which the package is installed.
Example:
# Grant the "foo.bar.baz" package to bind app widgets for the current user.
adb shell grantbind --package foo.bar.baz --user current

usage: adb shell appwidget revokebind --package <PACKAGE> [--user <USER_ID> | current]
<PACKAGE> an Android package name.
<USER_ID> The user id under which the package is installed.
Example:
# Revoke the permisison to bind app widgets from the "foo.bar.baz" package.
adb shell revokebind --package foo.bar.baz --user current
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] obvious:
I tried again, cutting and pasting the code I quoted above and it worked. I must have typed it wrong initially.

Thanks again :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Ritter3435:
With widgets working for Nova Launcher, I've been running into some other problems. Apps like Overlays, Popup Widgets 3, and others will most often not let me use the app as intended. These apps always ask you to choose an app from your widgets list, but will kick you back to the settings screen. I've tried changing settings/permissions of these apps with every trick I know (not many), and still can't figure it out.

To clarify, my widgets do work on Nova Launcher, but apps that further interact with widgets always end up with me in the settings app.

Anyone have any ideas? Does this happen to anyone else?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I'm pretty sure you can only have one app bind widgets at a time. However I'm unsure how to unbind the current app. I'll have to look up instructions if there are any. Otherwise the other option is to reinstall Nova.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Ritter3435:
I wasn't aware that was how it all worked.

Would it be possible to make a new appwidget.sh or something similar that could be used to bind a new app? I'm assuming if there was a working root for 5.4 this wouldn't be an issue as I don't see this being a problem for other people who have used apps like Popup Widgets and Nova Launcher. If I was to start all over again on a fresh wipe, unless I could have multiple apps bind widgets it wouldn't be possible to make what I want work. Either I would bind Nova Launcher and have Nova Launcher with the capability to use widgets, or I would bind whatever new app, but without the capability of even loading widgets with Nova Launcher since Nova Launcher was never bound (binded?).

This is all pretty new to me as I've never owned an Android device before July 11, so I might be confusing myself at this point. My original goal was to play around with apps like Popup Widgets while using Nova Launcher on my currently unrootable Fire HD 8 (2017).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Unfortunately, for now at least, that's not an option. The script I found is inside the /system partition so to get the system to recognize it, that's where it would need to be placed. I tried to look for the link, with no success, that had said only one app was technically allowed to be binded, on non-root devices. I could be wrong and will admit it if I am. Though if I recall, it's an Amazon restriction. If I find it I'll post it.

To revoke:

adb shell
appwidget revokebind --package <PACKAGE> [--user <USER_ID> | current]
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Ritter3435:
As it's so quick to restore these devices to factory settings if I really mess something up, I had to try

adb shell appwidget grantbind --package com.ss.popupWidget --user 0

I was hoping this would grant the Popup Widgets app the ability to get past the settings app screen...... and it worked!

I have to play around with it more, but it appears more than one app can be bound with the same code. Hopefully it doesn't have any horrible side effects, but so far it appears to just make it work with no problems. I'll keep playing with it but if anyone else gives it a shot let me know how it goes.

::Edit::

Just adding some more information - This method worked for Overlays as well (another app that never worked beforehand).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Awesome! I am glad to see all this work we did opening new doors for customization and accessibility! It would make my day if I could get Live Wallpapers working!!!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Ritter3435:
I don't know nearly enough about this stuff to figure out anything past this pretty specific circumstance. As far as I can tell, if anyone had trouble using an app that dealt with widgets using Nova Launcher, the solution has been found.

There are other apps that give me trouble and send me to the settings app for non-widget related matters. If you try using Pie Control to call a shortcut, or any app that should send you to a list of shortcuts on your device, it will instead kick you to the settings app. Are shortcuts widgets? I've never owned a stock Android device past the Fire HD 8, so I'm not sure how shortcuts even really work. Using the appwidget code did not fix anything related to shortcuts as far as I can tell.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
As far as I know, they are not. I got Apex to make shortcuts and they worked too. I like Nova's layout better so I went back to it. I haven't tried shortcuts on there yet
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] battierpeeler:
i didn't see an sdcard folder so i tried it just as 'internal storage' then ran the command. didn't work. then i created the (sdcard) folder inside internal storage then ran the command. and it still didn't work. then i deleted the end part of the command (current user) and it finally worked. now i have widgets!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Yes either --user current OR --user 0 will work. 'sdcard' already stands for the internal storage of your device. It might be sdcard0 or sdcard1. So you might have to tweak it a bit.

Google now launcher and widgets

Just bought a HD8 7th generation at Best buy for $49 one day sale. I have set up many Android devices, usually with Nova prime. Couldn't believe I couldn't get widgets on it. Read though this and way too complicated for me. So I installed Play, download Google now launcher, changed setting in accessibility to detect home press, put my usual widgets on, and everything works. Pressing Home seems to cycle between Google now Home Screen and Kindle home Screen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Actually less complicated. All you need to do is go in ADB and do both of these commands:

adb shell appwidget grantbind --package <PACKAGE.name.of.your.launcher> --user <USER_ID>
adb shell appwidget grantbind --package <PACKAGE.name.of.your.launcher> --user current

Example:

adb shell appwidget grantbind --package com.teslacoilsw.launcher --user 0
adb shell appwidget grantbind --package com.teslacoilsw.launcher --user current

That's it :) Don't need to move anything. Also glad to hear widgets worked without this command in Google now :D Do you know if live wallpapers work? Not likely :P
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] mrdunn:
Downloaded from Play several live wallpapers, got "app not installed" error. Incidentally, if I uncheck in accessibility the home screen button , every 2 presses on the home screen button cycles through the Kindle home screen and the Google one. With the accessibility checked, only the Google home screen comes on.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] khbrn13:
Can I do these codes directly from the kindle?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
As far as I know, it has to be done through ADB. But you can try emulator. Put the appwidget.sh into internal storage (sdcard). Then enter both the commands like

$ cd /sdcard
$ sh /sdcard/appwidget.sh

Not even sure you have to do that. But after that type

adb shell appwidget grantbind --package com.teslacoilsw.launcher
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Yeah you need to have the actual android live wallpaper apps installed. Was hoping that to not be the case.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TechNash:
I tried this, but it says access denied. I have a Windows computer, so how do I use adb? BTW Never seen a reply so fast!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
You can download just the ADB SDK or if you plan on making apps etc download Android Studio which includes the SDK. Enable developer options on your tablet by going to settings > device options > tap build number 7 times > tap developer options > enable ADB. Then hook up your tablet with a USB cable to the PC, navigate to the ADB folder labeled platform-tools and click or double click it. Make sure mouse pointer is in the folder window. While holding shift, right click on the window and open a command prompt. Then type

adb devices

A pop up will appear on the tablet. Check the box and click ok/accept. Then got back to the original post in this thread and try running the commands. If you don't get any errors and nothing comes up, you should have been successful.

Working well.

I have a Kindle Fire HD8 6th Gen running Fire OS 5.4.0.0 that has never been connected to an Amazon account.

Also I use the open-source launcher Lawnchair 1.0.1063 with Launcher Hijack V3

I'm using Arch Linux on my main PC, so to get ADB working I just did...

$ yaourt -S android-sdk-platform-tools
$ source /etc/profile
$ sudo adb start-server

At this point I used Ghost Commander on my device to copy the appwidget file in /system/bin to the root of my SD card in /storage/emulated/0 and renamed it to appwidget.sh.

Then I enabled ADB in the Developer Options on my device, plugged it into my PC via USB and confirmed on my device. (run "sudo adb devices" to verify it's working)

Then I ran

sudo adb shell appwidget grantbind --package ch.deletescape.lawnchair --user 0

And it worked, now I can have widgets on my launcher. It even survives a reboot. :good:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
It was a surprise this worked at all. The bigger surprise was it survived reboot and cache wipes.
