Just upgraded my phone from a Galaxy S6 to the S8 and trying to get ReadItToMe working properly. One thing that I've noticed that's giving me difficulties is there no longer seems to be a Car Mode I can choose from the Profiles dropdown. I've even tried forcing it through the RITM's Tasker...

Thanks for the review. So would you say the MIME is a gen 2 or a gen 3?

Okay so I've installed the latest Swype keyboard non-OEM and now have the Enable Handwriting checkbox. However, since my tablet is a Note 10.1, I'd prefer to use Samsung's native handwriting recognition that's built in to this tablet instead of Swype's implementation which comes up when using...

Yes, and i followed the steps you gave to create a task for it within Tasker too. But when I try to export it as an app, which required the download of the Task Factory plug-in, it gives me an error that I need to assign an icon. Since I cannot see anywhere else to assign an icon to the task...

Hi, just purchased the Pro edition. Is the spoiler info at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51757424&postcount=1302 still the best way to remap double cIick home to launch Google Voice Search? Or is there a better way since then? EDIT: Grr having a hard time pasting correct...

I'm still catching up on the last several pages of this thread so I apologize if this has been covered; it didn't turn up in a search. I recently used this mod to limit the alarm com.ticktick.task.action.DailyScheduleAction (for the todo app TickTick) which was showing an extraordinarily high...

Hmmm... nope, I don't have the Show Handwriting checkbox in my Swype settings, only "Show Voice key". Odd... And long press on the Symbols key doesn't do anything but bring me to the symbols keyboard. I'm using the built-in Swype that came installed on this tablet, version 1.6.8.25968, which...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this thread! This was driving me crazy and I hadn't noticed at which point they disappeared since I did several things with my tablet today. When Shooter mentioned wanam, I knew that's one of the things I installed today too so yup, that was obviously the...

I know this thread is dead and may not even be looked at anymore, but.... I need to factory reset my Evo 4G LTE running MeanBean so I can dispose of it. Can anyone help me out with the proper procedure to follow to accomplish this. I foolishly tried to do a "Reset phone" from Settings but...

I too would love to see the addition of a Handwriting button for the Swype keyboard. Since I acquired a Note 10.1 2014 tablet, the inability to quickly move to the handwriting keyboard from Swype has forced me to use the much less awesome Samsung keyboard on that device for now. (Still...

Thanks Bob & Surge! I'm going IN! Kit Kat HERE I COME! LOL :) Thanks again for the confirmations and reassurances. On the off-chance that I have issues and have to do a full wipe, I've got an semi-open day tomorrow... nothing I can't put off for a day if I need to spend extra hours...

Thanks for your reply. Hubby's running Kit Kat NC5 on his S4 and hasn't had any problems with it. I actually kind of like some of the additional things it adds and am beginning to feel a bit left behind still running Jellybean. I just don't want to have to wipe my phone to get there as I...

I posted the following message in Surge's Odin tars thread on Wednesday but haven't had any replies yet. Realize now it's probably better posted over here anyway, plus I have an additional question to add to my original post. Hi all! My Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 is currently running Stock TW...

delete... moved to Q&A thread.

I'm willing to give this new fix a try in the next couple days on my KFHD 8.9 which I recently updated from 8.4.3 to 8.4.9. Of course, I lost my wallpaper fix and immediately noticed the lack of space in the /system partition while trying to reinstall all the google apps stuff. I freed up some...

Hi k1mu, So I had rooted with your safeboot method before you had put in the SELinux permissive stuff. Instead of rerooting to add that stuff, I enabled the "Disable SEAndroid (Beta)" option in Wanam, which according to the description sets SELinux to Permissive mode on Boot since I assumed...

I had to factory reset my phone and re-root and this 2nd time around (and with a later version of the script), I too got the DEVICE NOT FOUND errors when trying to install busybox. So after the phone restarted, I launched adb and ran the last few lines of the script manually: files\adb...

Actually the version linked in that thread is older appears to be older the version I have installed (3.0.5 vs 3.0.7) so I didn't bother to install it, figuring if it was fixed back then, it should still work in the current version. HOWEVER, I did manage to fix the issue!! Hopefully it...

Thanks! I was thinking of looking into that, but I recall that it wasn't updated for the longest time and probably wasn't worth the expense. Looks like the dev is back working on it again though so I'll revisit it. I thought for sure it had to do with the system itself because it's 2 different...

Thanks for uploading the file again. I ran it and successfully gained root. There's a problem I'm having though, similar to another person here, in that I can't mount /system as r/w. I've tried it with Solid Explorer (Unable to mount the system as read/write), ES File Explorer's Root Explorer...

The correct file was there in the OP earlier today. But k1mu made some edits to it (as I can see from the changelog in post 1) and apparently forgot to reupload the new file. :( I'm all set to go now, adb communication working properly and just waiting on this... unfortunately, I didn't...

File download was removed from first post? Please re-upload... Trying to get my system prepared for doing this but having adb communication problems right now. Will post more details in a bit if I still can't get it working right as I'm trying a few different things to try to get it working.

whoops nvm wrong thread. *facepalm*

Hi Mark! Thanks for your reply. :) I took the plunge and did the update to 8.3.1 yesterday. All went well. I actually used the newest Root Many Android tool to re-root it, and then did the rest of the stuff like GoogleApps and OTA Updates via the KFFirstAide tool. Everything seemed to go...

Have you updated to 8.3.1 yet? I just did so and the CalendarProvider.apk I was using previously no longer works. Like you, I discovered I had to replace that file in order for the Kindle to save my synced calendar settings, otherwise they'd be lost once Calendar was removed from memory by the...

Hi prokennexusa, In case you weren't already aware, wanted to let you know there's a fairly new thread over in the 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development forum entitled [REF]All Things About Kindle Fire HD 8.9" that links to your other [ROOT][HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire HD thread in its OP...

Did anyone here update to the latest Amazon update for this device (8.3.1 for the 8.9, and I think 7.3.1 for the 7") and then successfully re-root? I'm at 8.3.0 on my 8.9 right now but would like to get the latest fixes. I've downloaded the bin file to manually install but want to verify...

You should ask chamonix to link to these from his FAQ in post #3. I had previously saved a link to them but it should be made easier for others to find them when needed too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35755907 EDITED TO ADD: Maybe too could you possibly show how these...

point99trash2011, I know this post is a bit old but I'm just catching up on several weeks worth while I was away and wanted to pipe up on this one with regards to GMD Gesture Control. On my Fire HD 8.9, I didn't have to edit my Advanced settings at all. Both Override multitouch device...

Hi Chris! Good to see you back! :) Thanks for the offer but the only other Kindles I have are my old Fire OG (v1) which I plan on selling soon, and my Paperwhite (also jailbroken), so as others confirmed, there's really no need for me to have one so I'll politely declined & save you the...

I updated my previous post in this thread regarding my default search engine from Nova to say that this behavior happens not only with the Kindle's soft app search key, but also from the Google Search Bar on the Nova desktop. If I'm in the Kindle launcher and select the Search key (or the...

I'm running the Play store version of Nova Launcher Prime 2.0.1 on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Everything has been working excellent and I love this launcher, especially all the swipe gestures. However since I updated my system software the other day (on my 8.9 device, from 8.1.4 -> 8.3.0), I'm...

I've posted a few times in the past month about the problems I was experiencing using Google Calendar on my rooted Kindle Fire HD 8.9. (here, here, and here). Basically I had set up my Google Calendar to sync to my Fire using Google's own Accounts & Sync Settings (not the pre-installed Amazon...

Woohoo! Turns out the solution was as simple as installing a driver on my Win7-x64 laptop that's capable of reading ext2/ext3 *nix filesystems. (I used ext2fsd.) I'm in business now! :highfive: Thanks for all the help attempts (even though I eventually figured it out on my own). ;)...

I successfully re-rooted my 8.9 using the Root Many Android, aka Root with Restore by bin4ary, tool since a couple people stated that the version in KFFirstAide didn't work properly for them. However to get rid of the sluggishness manually, delete the /data/local.prop file. I'm not positive...

I'll give WinImage a look, though I'm not too optimistic about it since I already tried both Alchohol 120 and Daemon Tools. They were both able to burn and/or mount the image but it couldn't read it after, system just hung trying to read the CD or reported an error. I had already tried...

I'll see if one of those works. Your search was more specific than mine. I was simply searching on extracting .img files and not necessarily android system.img files, and all the suggestions brought up in my search was stuff I'd already tried. Hopefully this more specific search will yield...

What are you talking about? There's no need to downgrade and lose all your data for any of the processes discussed here.... unless that's specifically what you're trying to do: restore your system to it's initial default state or something like that.

Is there any way to view the contents of the system.img file? I wanted to try to check one of my backups to see if a certain file is in there. I took a full backup using KFFirstAide both before and after my upgrade to 8.3.0 on my HD 8.9. I tried opening it with 7-zip, burning it to DVD...

I just updated my 8.9 with the OTA update and had to re-root. I followed the manual settings in this thread and at the password prompt, I entered my Amazon password in both fields (just as I did the first time I rooted this same way). From there, the rest of the process is pretty quick. For...

Chris/prokennexusa, It appears that the enable-ota.sh script attached to the first file is in DOS format which was causing the enabling of the services to fail. When I executed each line manually through Terminal Emulator, it all worked fine. So you might want to update the attachment on the...

Well I've tried to force the OTA update by downloading the .bin for the 8.9 from Amazon (from http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=201075600 ) but I can't get it to recognize I've put it there despite all the things I've tried to force it. I wanted to get this done and...

I was having that problem myself and had to install a newer version of GoogleServicesFramework.apk. Refer to my earlier post in this thread for more detail and the link where to get the updated file.

Oooh I hope this tool can be updated to achieve root on the latest Kindle Fire OTA update. According to the official update post at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/forums/kindleqna/?cdForum=Fx1GLDPZMNR1X53&cdThread=Tx1DJYV2R9VFZB9 one of the new features added is the Time to Read...

You can check in your list of Programs under Control Panel to see if you have installed the Android SDK at an earlier date. It will be listed as Android SDK tools. If you no longer need it, just uninstall it through there. If you know you do still need it--perhaps for one of your other Android...

Got my replacement in July 2012 (insurance replacement of one I originally got in June) and no Google Nav issues here. And I use it a lot in my car dock.

Does anyone recall from back in the ICS days, how the default Sense ROM and also MeanROM had additional colored Sense skins you could download under Personalize --> Skin. Well I haven't seen them anymore since moving to MeanBean. Not sure if they were removed from Sense entirely or what, but...

Just sent you an in-app message using the Contact Us form. There was no cache to clear so no help there, and clearing data (and reconfiguring from scratch) didn't work either. Hopefully it included the logs with the error. Note that there might be something specific on Kindle. On...
