Hello everyone, I recently installed the Wiimote Controller apk on my rooted device and for some reason I couldn't change the input method to "Wii Controller IME". So, I side loaded the NookColorTools apk to get access to the root keyboard settings. After the install, I can access the menu to select the desired input method but once I exit the menu screen it defaults back to the "Amazon Keyboard" input method. Any suggestions?
I've never used that particular APK myself so I don't know if it'll even work irregardless of what you do, but I'd try moving it from the data/app folder to the system/app folder (assuming you haven't). An app like Root Explorer should be able to do the trick.

Hi,
My HTC Magic, after installing the Sense UI, ended up with a perfect SPL HBOOT - 1.76.0007 (SAPP10000). It has a PVT 32A. I want to install Barcode Scanner and Bluetooth_File_Transfer applications in my Magic but am unable to access the Android Market. Like you mention, to use Astro File Manager. I have downloaded the Astro File Manager.apk file to my Notebook from Rapidshare. How do I install this file? I am a non-techie.

Hey
get the URL to the rapidshare download, now on your phone go to that address. It should then download the apk. When finished simply tap the file downloaded apk and it will install. Now you have Astro.
Now with all the other APK files, place them on your SD -> Open astro and navigate to the apk's -> click it and it shall install -> Enjoy!

do you have adb? you could try pushing the apk to the phone that way
adb never fails bro
Hi all,
I tried to install multiple keyboards on my rogers Captivate, none of them worked. This is fine, I was just experimenting BUT I have a problem. I installed LatinIme as an apk and it shows up as an option in 'locale and text' (under settings). However, every time I select it it crashes and force closes. This is well enough, the question now is how do I remove it? It does not show up in Fast Uninstaller and I can't find it anywhere in my apps to uninstall it.
Thanks!
if you have root explorer, go to \system\app folder and delete the apk.
also when you go to the settings->applications->manage applications, is it in the "all" tab?
Hi everyone,
My home button and the "swipe from the top" has disappeared since my last restart. I really have no idea what's happened and now I am using the apps called "Button Savior" to return the home screen.Maybe thid was because I have deleted some system files from system/data/data/com.android. providers.settings. I have restarted several times and it didn't work for my device.Now its really inconvenient to use the Kindle Fire HD. My current software version is 7.1.13. Could you guys help me to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.
I think you have 2 options:
1. Reset KFHD to factory defaults.
2. Try to replace that file that you edited with original one. (I don't have the tablet with me now, i can send you this file in 4-5 hours as i get home).
Hi Melodycd
I think I have deleted a lot of system files, that's why I couldn't even open the Games tab, Shops tab and other Amazon customized apps. I have tried to install GO Launcher EX and failed to show in the screen( install in the system/app). , the reset options is not available as I couldn't swipe the top and access to the device section. there just nothing happen when I swipe the top screen. For the second option. My kindle fire has rooted, but if I want to transfer files to the tablet, it required the permission and also I have to switch it to USB mode, As I said I was not able to swipe the top screen. I am now entering into a endless loop.

I think you still can use ADB to push files to your KFHD! If we make root manually for example and push super user via command on PC, you can do it with oher files also. Did you try this method?
Also you may Install ES File Explorer and download system apps via LAN or Cloud drive from you computer. There are many options in ES File explorer.
And what did make you to delete system apps??

1.I have tried, but it just remind me that I don't have the permission. ( I have rooted and gave RExplorer the permission).
2. I am currently live in Sydney. So videos has been restricted by law. That's why I deleted the amazon customized apps. For the system apps, I was not able to sign in my google account. Searched online and the resolution was to delete the file under data/data/com.android.providers.settings. I did delete it and after restarted my kindle fire, the problem began...
i think you still can push needed aps via ADB. if Root explorer doesn't work, how did you delete files from system folder??
you probably need to remount /system as rw in adb and then chmod the files to give them the right permissions.
this is why i renamed the files i messed with instead of deleting them. much easier to change the name back if there are problems
I've got a real issue here in that I was able to get Swiftkey 3 Tablet installed on a new 8.9 but it is misbehaving and continues to crash and respawn in an endless loop. I have a few seconds in between crashes to navigate around the device and I have tried several things to no avail.
I cannot Force Stop the service. I cannot switch to the default keyboard as there does not appear to be a menu item available for this. I've tried uninstalling but that fails. I've also tried resintalling but it stay in the same state.
Does anyone have experience with forcing the service to stop respawning and to switch the setting back to the default keyboard. If I cannot resolve this issue I will most likely have to reset the device which will cost me many hours in lost time.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
I was able to find a utility on this forum that exposed the Language and Keyboard settings so that I could access the default keyboard again. This eliminated the crash loop. However, I still cannot uninstall Swiftkey. Any ideas?
Did you try to uninstall it with titanium backup?

Thanks for the tip. I tried to uninstall with Titanium backup and it did not appear to work. However there was then an uninstall button available in the Installed Applications menu and I was able to get it uninstalled.
This may have also appeared because when I did a reboot an update was applied which appears to have reset some things. One of the things that has changed is that all of the apps that I side installed or installed through the Play Store have disappeared from the Apps menus. It's not an issue since I have Nova Launcher installed and everything still shows in there.
So the issue with getting Swiftkey to work properly still remains and I sure am having withdrawl from not having this app. If anyone has any ideas or a procedure on how to get that to work it would really be helpful.
But I cannot customize Nova apparently and add icons to the desktops. What a pain. Still looking for solutions to get this all running smoothly.
i managed to get it working after finding this instruction http://blog.wuepics.de/2012/11/swiftkey-auf-dem-kindle-fire-hd/#axzz2GznJiTxt
unfortunately it is in german but the gist of it is
install swiftkey (via play store or side loading?)
find the apk file (data/app likely)
using es explorer click and hold the apk file until you see the options
select view
go into the lib folder > armeabi-v7a
extract libswiftkeysdk-java-internal to somewhere you ll find it (download folder...)
copy the extracted .so file in lib/armeabi-v7a to system/lib
copy app from data/app to system/app
click to install in system/app (not sure if needed, i did any way. sorry i am kindle/android noob )
change permissions to user read/write, rest read only (same permission as the other apps)
reboot kindle
go to keyboard settings, select swiftkey3
no more crashes.
unfortunately the kindle menu overlaps the keyboard a little bit in landscape mode. but to me that is just a minor inconvenience.
hope this helps.

That doesn't seem to do anything for me. Each time my kindle reboots, I have to go to system\apps and reinstall Swiftkey in order to get it to work. If I don't, I'll get keep getting that error msg "****key Tablet has stopped"
Has anyone figured a solution to this?

After I read the response that the link was ONLY in German, I went to that site, and allowed my pc to translate it into English. This is what
I found:
In order to perform these steps is root access required.
Instructions
1 Charge here "NOOKcolor Tools" and installs it on the KFHD
2 Now go download your desired Tastaturapp on the Kindle.
3 Now open your file browser on the KFHD (eg ES Explorer )
4 Examined the copied in step 2 Tastaturapp
5 Keep it pressed to the apk., And choose "view"
6 Opens the "lib" folder
7 Opens the armeabi-V7A folder and select the . "so" file (!) from.
8 Click on "Extract". You possibly can you choose the path.
9.Geht now to the folder where you . "so" you extracted files and copy all the files into the / system / lib directory
10 Installed . "apk" the Tastaturapp and copied the . "apk" from the / data / app folder to / system / app Verzechnis
11.Startet the KFHD and opens new NOOKcolor Tools.
12th Now you can your keyboard to select under "Select Keyboard".
13th Ready!
Have fun with it

Now is it reliable? I don't know, but if you pay attention to the FIRST LINE, it states ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED. I have not rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7", so I can't try it out. But for those who have rooted their Kindle Fire, maybe you can try this. The site I had translated, http://blog.wuepics.de/2012/11/swiftkey-auf-dem-kindle-fire-hd/#axzz2GznJiTxt, is the site that was given. Good luck if you try it. ffman2152
I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 4.1.1 (Official) and encountered a problem with my lock screen and power button not working, so after I did my research, I found that I needed to add 'ON' to the 'keystr' file in the IMEI folder or some other folder which obviously needed root explorer. I installed it and Found it giving me a blank black screen. I tried re-installing android 4.1.1 again but still it is of no use.
I attached a screenshot of the screen when I open the app. I don't seem to understand the problem, with the root/flash or the app.
Hope someone replies fast!
To go to that folder you will need root access..
Application doesn't open. Check the screenshot.

Hello. You might want to try using ES File explorer instead. It comes with Root explorer and much user friendly. To give root explorer access all you need to do is:
1. Open ES file explorer. press menu button. find "Tools" menu and press to expand.
2. Scroll down to find "Root Explorer" and press to activate, then it will prompt you to give access. grant it and voila.

Hey! Thanks for replying soon. I followed what you said and still it gives me the same blank black screen even after giving it root access. Do you think there ia a problem in the way I flashed/rooted my phone?
Is this only happening with root files or other files too? Can you view the contents of internal storage using any of the file managers?

Strange.. After giving it root access a screen was supposed to appears with the following menus:
Root Explorer
One key install
One key uninstall
Backup app and data
Uninstall system app
startup manager
Mount R/W
Stop Permission.
What were you trying to do exactly?

As I said, I was searching for a file called 'keystr' because my lock and home button wa not working. And the menu did appear. I un-installed the file and re installed It. Still it doesn't work.

first check if you have root access using root checker.. then enable USB debugging and connect to pc and use shell and su command (should ask for superuser on phpne) and then
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
It's working in my phone.
