Just got my 2017 Fire HD 10

Similar scenario here with the exception: When the grayed out install button is there I just pressed the square (recent windows or something like that) and select the installation window.

When the window reopens the install button is white.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lancorp:
Oddly, none of the install button tricks worked for me. Sleep/wake of tablet did no good, and pressing the task "square" button wouldn't work because the installer screen wasn't one of the visible tasks. Silk browser was, but choosing that did not bring back the installer screen.

What did work was just powering off and back on. It seems after changing the security setting to allow all apps needs a reboot to take effect.

Do we ever need to update the Google services? The versions we install are relatively old. Do they auto-update?

All Good

I just got my Fire 10 HD 2017 yesterday and Google play installed just fine after allowing unknown sources with no tricks. Updated after that to 5.6.0.0 and everything works fine. Also via chat with Amazon they removed my adds for free (not willing to spend the extra $15). But I was disappointed that the screen mirroring feature is not available on this model. So no mirroring to my Fire TV. Besides all is good.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] SoNic67:
From where?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] jocoze:
I'm curious about this as well. I got my kids the sphero R2-D2 for Christmas, but the amazon app store doesn't have the app available, so I need to load it via google play or by downloading the apk somewhere else. I get dumped back the the kids profile home screen as well if you do the power button trick. Hopefully someone finds a work around.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] SoNic67:
You choose older versions, for example the Account Manager is at 7.1.2 now (API 24). Any reason?

Play Store install effect

Installed GPS and some apps. All still good after 5.6.0 update. However, Kindle Reader (preinstalled) and Amazon Store (also preinstalled) updates bonk when using Play Store for updating. I.E. they don't update. They also don't update from Amazon app update.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] :
Anything higher than version 5.1-1743759 won't install, as they're for Marshmallow 6.0 (API 23) or higher.

All recent Amazon Fire HD devices run Lollipop 5.1 (API 22).

Fire OS updates those apps in the background as and when updates come through, you can see if any system app updates are pending in the System Update menu.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] stillTRE:
With all the controversy surrounding Youtube Kids right now, as well as some of the non-controversial content that just seems like a giant commercial for toys (random people acting out scenarios with action figures of Paw Patrol and the like) that I wasn't really comfortable with my daughter watching I'd just as soon leave that off.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] SoNic67:
That's sad. Anyway, it worked.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] jholmes01:
Thanks

OK. But still have that "update" available in Play Store and can't hide it or otherwise.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] PaulA/V:
This works great, thank you. However, the apps I install from Google Play are not showing up in my Library (which I get why) and Home Page. The google icons for Settings and Play were added to my Home Page after side loading them but the apps installed from the Play store are not added. I can launch them from the Play store but that's a little inconvenient. Does anyone know how to add Google Play installed apps to the Fire Home Page, thanks?

Regards,

Paul
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Blaiser47:
Been reported to elsewhere too. Force close home pages app from settings, manage apps. May need to clear data too if force close alone doesn't fix it.

not able to install @ second account

Hi,

in the main account on my Fire HD 10 I was able to install the necessary apps for using Google Play Store. But I'm using a second account in the Fire HD and would also like to use Play Store there.

I was able to install Google Account Manager and Google Services Framework BUT I'm not able to install Google Play Services and Google Play Store. If I click the Install button in the same moment the message appears, that the app was not installed.

Any suggestions what to do?

Thx

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] MrSmith22:
I'm just curious, why do you guys flash your ROM? doesn't it cause problems later on? I know some people say it is faster but does a fragment of speed merit the change?

No offence to ROM developers, I've flashed my ROM but the question is merely there for speculation and to get the Polaris forum a little more active.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ingenious:
In my case:

1) I hate localized software (though I'm neither English, nor German)

2) Don't like branded ROMs - they're usually loaded with lots of crap and are slower (thank god I don't have an Eten - they come with trialware !!! )

3) Usually a newer ROM is better and more stable, and operators like O2 release ROM updates only once/twice per year...

4) It is fun :) (Well, not fully, since you have to reinstall all software after reflashing :( )
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] academic:
Simple answer: Why not ? ;-)

In fact, flashing the ROM of his device mainly give the opportunity to have much better device than the original. A good example is the HTC Touch (ELF). Even if customers have report numerous of problem, HTC haven't yet issued a ROM update for the French ROM. This is a good example and answer to your question "why flashing a ROM".

Polaris is a brand new device. We can expect a reaction from HTC (if they react) in the next months. During this time, you've the choice to

1. Live with the bugs until HTC decide (if they) to fix it

2. Use a cocked ROM to make your device (much-much-much) better

Of course, Flashing a ROM is always at risk for the user. Example with mine. I've ordered a Polaris in French. Actually the official French ROM isn't available. If I've a problem with my device, the warranty is down because I've flashed my device with an unsupported ROM.

On top of this, flashing is (for me) a nasty game ;-) It is dangerous but I like it ! :D
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] MrSmith22:
I have noticed a performance increase with Hermes but I don't know whether this can be true for Polaris? Is the difference major?

If it is, warranty or not, I'll flash...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kutonglupa:
Of course the Difference is always NOTICEABLE because its meant to make your device function a lot better in more ways than what comes with the original ROM's.:rolleyes:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] academic:
With the Bepe ROM the Polaris is 1.5 tome more faster (surely due to the Windows Mobile 6.1 layer).

And, for a "preview" as Bepe say, I find this really stable. Of course, things can always be better. For this, we have to be patient or...

...learn on how to cook ... ;-)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] schaggo:
I subjectively feel a quite noticeable speed improvement with the WWE ROM over the previously default German O2 Orbit 2 ROM. I noticed (and htcclassaction is big on that) a high impact on TomTom. TomTom worked alot smoother on the O2 ROM.

But I dont mind that, so I'm happily waiting for a HTC or cooked German replacement ROM while using the WWE on my Orbit 2.

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] HMorbini:
I recently purchased an Honor 9 model STF-AL00, with a rebrand for the STF-L09 ROM, but the FDD-LTE B7 band is not active or working. I searched the GSM Arena, and only STF-L09 and STF-TL10 versions have the FDD-LTE B7 band active, the other versions are not supported by this band.

So my question, I found ways to enable, but only for devices equipped with Qualcomm processors.

So, i can enable FDD-LTE B7 on Honor 9 in a model STF-AL00, with rebrand for the STF-L09?﻿

The app is called Now Playing Register. With it, you can find the old songs recognized by Now Playing even if they’re gone days ago. Just open the app and you’ll see a register of all the songs you heard since this app were installed.

“Now Playing Register” will remind for you all the songs you listened to. The only thing that you have to care about is to install this app.

In addition, you can also erase songs from your history and search them in Google and different applications like YouTube or Spotify to enjoy them again or know more about. It is a simple but functional material design application.

If you want to install it you can find it on the Google Play with the name "Now Playing Register"

Did you publish this yourself? Not seeing it in the Play Store.

Can you compare it with this app, if you've had a chance to use it?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.nowplayinghistory&hl=en
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cristianndc:
The main difference between that application and Now Playing Register is the cost. I understand that an application like this can not be paid because it is essential in this device. Regarding functions, we have tried to make the code as simple as possible. I can not speak of the code of that application because I do not know it, nevertheless, its price seems excessive to me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cristianndc:
We have worked the last weeks in this application and we have launched these days in anticipation of the arrival of the devices to their buyers. As for the link is the one that has already been provided.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
Ok cool. I'm still waiting for the my pre-order to arrive. Will definitely give it a shot once I get my hands on the device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] metalcated:
One has ads and one cost $0.99, personally, I'd rather pay a buck for an app without ads.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cristianndc:
We plan to include low cost freemium app and new functions
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cristianndc:
My opinion

Ads are the best option for users because if a developer wants to earn your money he will work for it while a paid application has already achieved it. The best example is Nova Launcher that now that practically all users have bought it, it has no incentive to improve so fast.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RED ZMAN:
Thank you for your work on this app, just installed it and I will let you know what I think.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cristianndc:
With the latest version of the application you can already share a song, see the album image and remove the ads
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xurxooo:
In the last message you say, that i can share songs, but I can't find the option, where it is?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cristianndc:
Hi. You must wait for Google Play to update the application to have this function. Today you should have this option.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cristianndc:
At the request of some users now the application asks for confirmation before deleting everything. I'm sorry for those who pushed this option thinking that it was already implemented
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cristianndc:
Soon more functions. Stay tuned!

Hi There,

I have been trying for well over a month now to unlock the bootloader on my Note 4. I have followed all the steps, waited the suggested periods in between and nothing. I had a Note 3 that I unlocked and put a custom rom on and loved it. MIUI is just not for me.

At the moment I am stuck trying to bind my phone with my account. I had been stuck getting a 86006 error and was advised on the MI forum to wait a week. I did that and it still got that error. Then I waited two weeks and now I just get " connect to the network and try again". I have tried on different WIFI and Cell networks with no difference.

Any advice would much appreciated?!

[Android Head-Units] evlo:
Hi, is there any head unit with px5 and 2gb ram (I understand that it is current most powerful option in Chinese HUs) with matte screen and physical know for volume and other buttons?

Also it would be great if it ships from EU.

Or at least with truly black screen with some ag coating. All I saw for sale, even name brand HUs from Kenwood are this silver/gray super reflective ****.

Also does Bluetooth internet tethering from phone work on px5 mtcd/e units?
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
px5 is a weakling. Its a bunch of A53's.

The ARM way of doing things is to couple a few weaker cores (they call them "little") with a few stronger cores (they call them "BIG").

The little cores are used when the processing demands are low, because typically they will use less power than the big cores (A57, A72, A73).

What the px5 has, is a bunch of little cores, without any BIG ones.

It doesn't matter if it has 8 of them, they're still really weak and slow.

The stronger chip available for car radios is the Intel Sofia. Don't get too crazy about core counts, frequency, or "benchmarks". None of those metrics help you in calculating the relative performance when you are comparing dissimiliar CPU architectures.

MTC is also responsible for some particularly poor designs. Try to find something from SYU instead. They are a lot less dependent on crappy firmware running on the external MCU chip. Both do have an MCU, but the SYU doesn't use it for nearly as much.
[Android Head-Units] evlo:
Don't really care about CPU as much for the screen, but would prefer latest arm platform then depreciated, even if more powerful intel one.

If there are intel with matte screen and no px5 with it then sure.
[Android Head-Units] evlo:
So anything at least semi glossy, like some hi end laptops are these days? Or at worst something with truly black screen? (sometimes it is called fully laminated)
[Android Head-Units] ste2002:
HU I have has very glossy screen glass, but the only case I suffer from this is when making photos of whats on screen - have to choose position carefully to avoid self-reflection. All other usage scenarios are not affected by that at all.
[Android Head-Units] ptolomeo:
And why not putting on a matte protector? I have a Peugeout 308 with an integrated multimedia screen, and I aready fitted a matte screen protector.

I wanted to install a protector no matter what, to avoid permanent scratches that could be caused with rings, keys or whatever you could have in hand in any moment.

I now ordered a Joying HU and will install a screen protector ASAP.
[Android Head-Units] ste2002:
There is video on Youtube featuring Joying's screen glass hardness - looks like it is of some Gorilla type, quite impressive and nothing to worry about. What really bothers me is greasy stains from my even greasy fingers, but in this case soft cloth helps, not any screen protector which I firmly believe is rather useless.
[Android Head-Units] evlo:
My experience with matte protectors is just bad, it is not same, not even close to matter layer fused with polarizer on matte displays.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #theApurvaGaurav?:
Hi!

(This is my first post on XDA developers so please let me know if this is not the appropriate place to ask this question)

I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 3.7.0 (1GB+16GB), and it is still running on out of the box software except for the ota updates. And as one will guess it is very very very slow. I have pretty good knowledge when it comes to practical computing but haven't really ever rooted any device/tried any custom rom or done anything of that sort.

So it'll be great if anyone could firstly tell me which is the best custom rom for the mentioned model, I just need the rom to be a bug free one which does not lags. I don't intend to do anything heavy on it other than normal reading, whatsapp, online and offline streaming of music as well as videos. Since I am a noob, it would be great if someone would assist me through all these.

Also is it possible to make a bloatware free rom? Means even the preloaded apps of launcher/messaging/phone/music etc. be of my choice, so there's no two apps for the same thing (kinda my dream to be able to do so).

I will be ever thankful to anyone who helps me through all this. :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manual Sterring:
Good evening,

I have tried to root my smartphone Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) DUOS SM-J530F with a guide.

I installed the last version of the software. My smartphone is encrypted with my password. I have unlocked the OEM lock and USB debug ticked.

I installed ODIN v. 3.12. from this site , the drivers for Samsung USB and the Super SU zip files . Also I download Team Win Recovery Project version 3.1.1-0.

I launched Odin with my device connected via an USB cable. I followed the instructions and the recovery with ODIN show it was successful. But when i tried to use the Super SU's zip it didn't work. Now when i launched my phone it show the page TWRP and lines of code are shown for a very little instant (about 3 seconds) :

Then it launched Samsung and it ask my password . I put it in and he ask to reset my phone. I "clicked" on reset but it reboot TWRP and it is the same thing again.
