Hi,

I can't prepare up 3 account on Instagram in my phab

Is it can support just 3 account in my Instagram?

Thank for reply

Hi,

I've got my phone 2 days ago and the first thing I did was to update to Oreo Beta 3 from the official site. I find that the sound stops working every once in a while, unless I reboot the phone. Anybody else face this issue too?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
I never upgrade the phone to another OS before I test it out completely because if you update, then you never know if anything was broken before the upgrade. Back to your question, I am on beta 3 and sound is fine, but it depends which sound you are referring too.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] srichinnu0920:
I refer to the whole system sound, everything including ringtone volume and media and alarm. Nothing works when I try to play a song or a video. But when I reboot it, it's working!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
Did you sideload any apps, such as Google camera?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] srichinnu0920:
Nope. All I did was sideload the Beta 3 zip , and install every other app from Play Store.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
I suspect its an app.

Try running with no apps then install one at a time.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] srichinnu0920:
Okay. Thanks! :)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stryver:
Hello, I also had this problem until my first factory reset. I haven't had this issue since. It seems things can get messy when you upgrade to Oreo without a full wipe. Try that if all else fails. Good luck!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] srichinnu0920:
Thanks for the advice. But I uninstalled GCMod5 (Google Camera port) the other day and I haven't found the issue ever since. Though I didn't flash it through the recovery, looks like it was affecting my phone somehow, and now it's gone! As of now, the problem is solved. ✌️
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] wcarlson40:
Thanks, great job! I can confirm it works great on Fire HD 8 OS 5.6.0.1. I even think the microphone is more responsive with this method. Yes, Google Assistant is somewhat more limited on Lollipop, but it's still useful anyway.

I used the Settings Database Editor app. It's not "scary" if you follow the directions. It makes me wonder what more can be done to this little tablet to make it more "root-like" with Settings Database Editor and ADB.

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I'll be making a thread sometime soon on the tweaks I've been able to come up with. For not having root, it's pretty impressive.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] kapilathi:
Awesome bro.

I'm using fire 8 in India, they have disabled Alexa based on location. If I change my Amazon account location to US, I get Alexa. But, changing back the location to India, disables Alexa again. Alexa option won't be visible in the settings menu.

Do you think, is there anything I can edit in settings app to get Alexa?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lakitu47:
That would be awesome, as I couldn't find much other info at all about this app and its uses.

There also seems to be a whole bunch of AOSP settings hidden in the software you obviously can't use, such as mobile networks, GPS, and the LED notification light.

Tweaks I have done so far:

Toggle either full or partial immersive mode in certain apps

Remove lockscreen ads (doesn't work in 5.6)

Nothing else I tried yet I couldn't already do in the regular settings app.

You never fail to impress
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] autobulb:
This worked for me but some functionality is missing. If I say "Okay Google, set a timer for [x] minutes." It will just do a Google search for those words. It doesn't automatically open up the Clock app and start the timer. This is with the default Clock app disabled and the Google Clocl app installed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
In the past few weeks I learned that unless the app is actually uninstalled, the system still recognizes it as an app. THis will be as close to the assistant as we get, until it's rolled out to all of Lollipop devices. Also, without Gapps being part of /system/priv-app, a lot of the functionality won't be possible. However, I do see to recall the voice assistant working for the alarm, or basic system functions. It could be possible, that Google stopped that function to lollipop devices or it's just simply mucked by one, or Amazon patched it as well.

Assistant now fully working

Been checking daily whether launching the assistant shortcut would work. Yesterday night it went from assistant not available on this device to Google assistant is not your chosen assistant. After following this guide and rebooting now I have full Google assistant with home control etc!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Does this include the full assistant you get in 6.0+?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lakitu47:
I also just got the full Google Assistant yesterday afternoon. It appears to be the same as what's on 6.0+ tablets.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
This is great. It looks like they likely finally rolled it out to Lollipop devices. Let's hope it isn't another mistake!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] xperia709:
Yup, the full assistant experience. I have google's clock, play music, spotify installed, works with all of them just like on normal 6.0+

Bet they're enabling server side for all tablets now 5.1+ and above, even though the page still says 6.0+ on google's site. Wake word seems to work with screen on but not off. Still so much better than alexa. You also lose the long press home to activate, tried using a nav button app on xposed but that ended up breaking the framework and I almost couldn't use the tablet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
There are a few edits in the framework that fix that and allow for the home button to long press to the Installed assistant app. I forget where though. When I get home I'll look through my notes and find it once I set this up again. With root it's a fairly easy fix.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Confirmed. Appears the FULL assistant is now available using my original methods. However it requires only the first 2 ADB commands to get everything working. This also works on Fire Launcher which makes this even more glorious.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dondraper23:
I haven't had luck with this for the 8" HD as far as the full functionality goes. Now that Alexa works hands-free for it, I don't see it as a big deal but it works great for the 10", though
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Tested it in HD 8 and worked perfectly. Haven't tried it on my HD 10 yet.

Side note: I've tried this on other 5.1 devices, not from Amazon, and it doesn't work. So this is likely a fluke from and update to the Google app. The other suggestion would be to try the beta APK. I started on a fresh FireOS 5.4.0.0 and downloaded play services and Google beta APK. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. None the less, get it while you can if you can
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dondraper23:
I'm sure I just did something wrong then cuz all I was getting was a google search everytime I tried to get it to work with the 8HD. I'll give it another go on Sunday

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lakitu47:
To use ADB, you MUST have USB debugging enabled in developer options.

If you're using Windows, make sure you use Command Prompt (cmd.exe) instead of PowerShell.

Open a command prompt window in the location of the Platform Tools. Type in "ADB shell" first, then wait for it to connect. You may need to allow debugging from your computer on your tablet from a pop-up dialog. Then type in the rest of the command starting at "pm grant" after shell@[device codename].
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Somehow, i don't know how, im on the most up-to-date Google app, 10.7.4.21, with full working assistant and everything else. I had forgotten to turn auto updates off in the play store. It had updated before, didn't work. So I plugged into my pc and downgraded back to 8.33.5 beta, using adb -r -d install. I was fooling around with a few apps I finally managed to delete without too much issue. I ended up having to do a factory wipe in twrp, just data, dalvik and cache and rebooted. Then issue from the removed app was fixed so I put the tablet down. Again I forgot to turn off auto update and the app and all others updated. I made sure the settings were still in place from this thread after the reset, and Assistant setup just like it should. I don't know if this is a result of my hacks or if Google finally figured out a fix.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I don't believe so at least not on stock fire OS. If I recall correctly too much of the code inside the framework is missing and it just did not activate. Either Amazon removed it or the framework they used never contained it.

Is it not part of Google Assistant (which we've enabled on Fire HD)?

And there is no Android ROM for Fire HD?

First link is for a different model. To the best of my knowledge there are no custom ROMs for the latest HD 10.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] joe7dust:
Wasn't trying to get a custom rom. Just adware spyware removal. Mainly lockscreen ads but the more Amazon tentacles I can snip off the better. Tried to install Google Assistant from the playstore and got an error about it being incompatible or something. Looked like a Google error.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Then yes, second link (not first) is a good starting point. Historically Google Assistant hasn't played well with FireOS; can't speak to recent generations with FireOS V6|V7 as I never use GA on a personal device. Good luck.

Just to let everyone know, this has worked on the HD 8, HD 10 and the Fire 7, for FULL google assistant.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
So I've modified the framework to allow for long press of the home button to bring up the default assistant app. The only problem is, it doesn't bring up the assistant application even despite the fact that it is marked as default in Secure settings. Here's an interesting thing. despite the fact that I cannot get the full assistant to work on the fire 7, the long press for home button DOES work. I'm a little puzzled by this thus far and I'm not really sure where to go from here. I'm going to have to further investigate the framework but I'll put some money on the system user interface having something to do with it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lakitu47:
From Google support:

Even the latest Fire 7 only has 1 GB of RAM and a 1024x600 display. Which means the Assistant is technically incompatiable.

All other 2016 and 2017 Fire tablets meet the requirements, as well as the 2014 HDX.

The fact that you can use the home button feature is rather odd, though....
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Thanks for the clarification. I'm quite puzzled about the home button

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dondraper23:
Did you run those adb shell commands? I can get it to recognize my voice, but I still only get Google search results. I have Google version 7.26.13.21.arm and Assistant version 0.1.187945513 installed. Maybe I'm running the wrong versions
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
You need the latest version of the Google app beta. Full assistant is nowbofficially available on most lollipop devices, specifically on the HD 8 and 10, without the assistant app. I would uninstall, and go to apkmirror and get the latest Google beta apk. Clear the data and do a cache wipe before reinstalling
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] etiennec78:
Hello,

I installed the beta version of google through the google play store and then I tried to redo my voice to google but the same error appeared ... Is there anything else I have to do to make it work?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Make sure the settings are set properly with adb. If the assistant doesn't pop up, clear google app data and play services. Also tap the google settings icon, tap the dots at top right, help, three dogs again, and open in play store. If you can't disable Amazon app store, that may not work. After all that if not working, I'll have to look into it. Also the full assistant won't work on the fire 7 yet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Drymarchon:
long press on home button will not work....
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
It won't until I can find a hack/fix around it. Unfortunately that will take more time than had I hoped as the setting within the framework, in the case of FireOS, has no effect when changed. I have to look into it more but it may require attempting to replace the navigation bar. And that only does good for root users.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lakitu47:
Maybe it has something to do with Alexa, which does work with a long home button press.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Drymarchon:
Maybe, but with this, you disable Alexa.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Also note: if you use Nova launcher, you can set the home button to the assistant, or just about any shortcut you want.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Drymarchon:
Doesn't that only work on the home screen? And it is just a press, not a long press.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Yes, but that maybe as good as it gets. I have to look at the systemui more and see what the navigation bar is set at. If I can't change it, then I'll have to experiment with a replacement if possible. The hardest part about being able to edit all of this has been the systemui, which until recently has crashed with every edit i made to it. So I haven't experimented a lot with it yet. Just the framework setting is overridden somewhere in there so it's going to take a!little more time to hunt down.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] xperia709:
I haven't even found an easy root solution to this. Xposed kids seem to crash the framework. Other rooted button mods don't work or it works sporadically or very slowly. A bummer is that Google Assistant is a lot slower than Alexa but still much better.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dondraper23:
I finally got full functionality from Google Assistant, but I have to use an older version of the Google app (version 7.4.17.21) that I got from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1_5-oGDtl8vn4Hu68ch3AOvuB9IVEh0-5

I attempted everything- I cleared all the data (by going into Manage Space in the settings), uninstalled it, reinstalled it, signed up for the Beta and installed that, signed up for Google Play Services Beta and installed that- all I was still getting was Google search results. Once I installed this older version and running the adb commands again, I now have it working.

If the older version of the Google app helps anyone else, make sure to disable Auto-update apps in the Google Play Store settings. As soon as it does, Google Assistant will stop working and then you'll have to clear all that data, uninstall it, reinstall the old one, enter the adb commands for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and Voice Interaction again, and retrain your voice
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Colossus96:
The assistant is working mostly for which i need the most. Voice typing in gboard is working flawlessly. And the hotword Ok Google brings up the Google assistant. Alexa assistant is ****. Can't do anything right. The only problem I am facing is that the assistant works with only OK Google keyword but it does not work with hey Google. In fact there is no option for hey Google when I am setting up the assistant. I prefer to use the hey Google keyword than ok Google. But it's just me nitpicking.

Thanks to the op for this amazing guide. You are the greatest. Hope you will find root process for the fire HD 8.

edit: ok google detection doesn't work sometimes.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I uninstalled Alexa on my HD 10 so that's probably why you have issues sometimes. I don't think hey Google is available on lollipop yet.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Colossus96:
Fire tablets are great for the price. I Just Wonder why Amazon locks them up so tight. Most people don't bother with root or development. Only a few people like us. Most of the fire tablet users use them as is. So Amazon really doesn't lose much. But why the gotta lock them up so tight. Its like they are having fun while looking at our misery.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Maybe to test people like us to see what we know about their products. In hindsight, we save them money so they don't have to hire people to do it. We do the leg work for them in a sense.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:
And it may also be that, they are so pedantic about their money, that they don't allow even the bit of us to unlock. ;)

Frankly, I don't feel like blaming them at all. They sell these tablets starting from $50, and really a tablet with about the same specs would be $200 or so. The low price almost makes up for their habit of keeping this locked.

It is available on Lollipop. It works flawlessly on my HD 8.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I just get a kick out of it to be honest. Although I love the Google assistant, I get more of a kick out of being able to do this by downloading just the Google app (assuming you have play store already). I laughed quite loudly when I got the heads up this was fully operational.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] vinodv:
Hi,

How did you uninstall Alexa? What is/are the package(s) to disable?

Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
You can only disable the package itself if you are on FireOS 5.4.0.0 or lower, or have root access. Otherwise look for the app on the play store called "Settings Database Editor" and install it. Plug tablet into PC and assuming you have adb installed:

adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Open the app and tap the menu to the right and select secure. Look for "alexa_enabled" and make sure it says 0. If it says anything else, tap the setting, change the value to 0, save and reboot.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] vinodv:
I do have my HD10 rooted. I followed the instructions in this guide to set up those 4 attributes in Settings Database Editor (voice_interaction_service, voice_recognition_service, assistant and alexa_enabled) and have Google App and the Assistant installed (the latest Google App seems to install the assistant on its own?).

And have the following problems. I thought perhaps disabling the Alexa app more thoroughly than alexa_enabled=0 might help?

1) The assistant won't respond when the screen is off or immediately after reset unless launched once.

2) It won't do some things like - take a picture/selfie - it shows a google search result in such cases.

Are these to be expected?

Vin
