Couple of problems with my kindle fire HD !! - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
Unfortunately I have to post this thread , I've searched a lot on google and this forum but ...
First of all my problem is with connecting to vpn , I downloaded some apps but none of them worked , then i found out that apparently kindle has blocked something that doesnt let vpn apps work but i couldnt find how to fix that. secondly I dont know how to install rtl persian (farsi).
I rooted my device but and did everything i was supposed to, but i couldnt run google play.
If anyone could help me with this problems or even helping me with changing the os to REAL android I would appreciate it. I found some topics about changing the os but there was no file or instruction to do it.
Thank you

Doesn't exist. Bootloader has not been cracked so no custom roms. If you want real android, then you bought the wrong device.
I don't use VPN but there should be something in the settings for VPN. Maybe take a look at that.
Make sure to reboot your device before trying to sign into the Play store. Lots of people mentioned that fixed their login issue.

Fix for grey wifi/mobile data, unable to connect to google services/play store!

HI THERE, sorry im new to e forum, anyways im using a SGS 3LTE with custom rom CM 10.2 android 4.3, CWM touch recovery. So many people are not able to connect to the play store and services over wifi, but only over mobile data. Another issue is that the cellular data and wifi tend to remain grey, unlike that of android 4.0 and back which remains blue. So to solve this heres what i did.
DID EVERY F**KING CRAP OUT THERE. DIDNT WORK.
What i did: use a file manager with root access, look for 'hosts' file in systempath 'system/etc/' and deleted it. So far so good, its permanently blue for both wifi and cellular data, and also i am able to access google apps and store without a hitch.
DO SHARE WITH ME UR FINDINGS/RESULTS AND SPREAD THE LOVE PEOPLE
On a side note: i used to flash and modify small roms for my old htc hd2, but the above fix was heard from a website from god knows where LOL, im singaporean, i speak singlish, and im proud of it so im not gonna apologise for the broken english im just a small person with a small fix, but i hope that someone of higher status will help push and spread this fix i have to the WORLD
That can be due to a custom rom having a modified hosts file .

[Q] HTC One Google Edition ROM 403 Error [HELP]

Not sure if this has been questioned already, I'm having a mess around with a few ROMs on my HTC One, if I install a ROM with Sense/HTC ROM on the phone it all works perfectly fine and flawlessly, as soon as I install a Google Edition ROM or CM etc it wont let me download any apps giving me the Error 403 on the Play Store. I've tried all the solutions and none work, wondering if anyone shares the problem or knows a fix.
Thanks, Dan.
Seems like you're out of luck if you've tried "all the solutions".
Sarcasm aside, list what you have done so people know what you've done, how you did it and then maybe they can offer some assistance.

Well by all the solutions I mean I've literally spent hours doing all the obvious ones, clearing proxies, clearing Google Play Services, Play Store and the Download Managers caches, datas etc. Removed my account, rebooted whilst doing all this. Signed in with a different Google Account, I literally cannot find another solution anywhere, sorry for being vague.
It must be a problem on Google's side. The same thing occurs with my Xperia Z, and I've tried all the fix suggestions on both stock and PA 4.0

I have just read another thread, and many HTC One's and LG's, even a Nexus 5 and 7 have had the same issue! Lets hope it's fixed soon!
Verified no proxy in APN?
Does it work on home WiFi?

Google Play Store is experiencing yet another partial downtime and is bringing up the dreaded 403 error message for a good number of Android users.
Actually this error has come up once in a while, often randomly and without any explanation given afterwards. It's not exactly a fatal error but it does prevent users from downloading or updating apps. It can be an annoyance and an inconvenience at worst.
Unfortunately for users, there isn't really anything they can do about it, other than wait, and maybe complain.

[Q] Bought Deus Ex Fall From Google Store - Won't Start

I'm a new user of HTC One, Android Version 4.4.2, 5.5 HTC Sense.
I bought Deus Ex The Fall from Google yesterday but every time I install it, run it, and click on ANYTHING on the menu, it says "Unfortunately, Deus Ex The Fall has stopped" and then quits.
I don't understand, I re-downloaded and reinstalled, I even reset the phone to factory, still does NOT work. I did not root my phone. I paid around $7.50AUD for the game. I just cannot get it to work.
I know some forum users here got their game to work but I'm unable to see how. Can someone please assist me?

Did you contact the developer about it? This is not an app support site. Wait....This is not a support site of any kind. Email the Dev about it.
Also dont post more then one thread about an issue.

Yes but what your missing is that they are running a custom rom. Also without a logcat there is not much anyone can tell you. You could get 100 people saying it works fine for them and another 100 that says it doesnt work. But without any real info from a log cat there is nothing anyone can say or do to help

How can I become them? How can I run a custom rom? What should I do? I paid for this game and I really want to play it.
What is logcat? If I provide logcat will you be able to help me?

[Q] Hide my device type from apps?

i rooted my kindle, and so most games i download work now. But all Voltage Inc. games wont. They all pop up a web page saying they know I'm on a kindle. I've fixed it so they cant see my kindle is rooted and my id is shown as a fake one, but it still catches im on a kindle.
Is there a way to hide or change it so my Kindle just shows up as an Android phone to apps?
Would some terminal emulator code work for that?
Also, i cant for the life of me get my background and lock screen to change.
I'm using ADW launcher and tried themes for it but no difference.
I got my kindle as a present awhile back from someone who said they got it from a pawn shop (lol) so i don't know if that makes a difference. Its a second generation one, i figured that out when i was trying to mess with the ADB for ways to change the background... anddd at some point with my messing with it, its decided not to let me pull the notification bar down anymore and when i turn it horizontal the screen is black like ADW doesn't readjust.
Please help i know i should be happy with how far I've gotten but its too much fun to try and mess with it, you know? Modding is a little addictive.
don't be too harsh on me if you think i deserve criticism for my noobness.:crying:

First off,no one gets harsh for noobness here. We all help each other.
And now about your question. I would suggest flashing a custom ROM like CM instead of Amazon OS. But if you want to keep it stock rooted,try editing the build prop.

You sir, deserve a cookie
And to the OP, I remember a while back that there was an app for KFHD users that would allow us to change a setting temporarily to get different Play Store apps to work with our devices. I'll scrounge around and see if I can find it.

Hi there, easiest way is to change your build prop. This requires root and you don't need to flash roms etc but I recommend this if you want the "full" android experience. Ask me how to change build prop first if you are interested. If you change the build prop you can spoof your apps into thinking that your device is a different device. However it is quite safe ONLY IF YOU DO IT CORRECTLY. hope this helps!

Seems to be a bug from SO. Many people is complaining about this in the official OnePlus community.

ah nice, i didn't find anything. Thank you for the info.
I have the same problem... I don't know what to do...
same problem here - 1+3t see my chromecast device , attempts to connect and... thats all
I've not screwed around with this problem much since I don't "cast screen" aside from netflix which works (as said here). I did some screen casting from CM in the past, But::
I've experience the identical symptoms of this problem on CM13, CM14, etc, with their built in cast command. I don't know if it'll be identical or of any help, but I had to get rid of all of the /system partition based "cast" (whatever it's called in this version), from /system/apps ./priv-apps and other /system-like places..
When you are sure you've got it all gone, using root explorer or adb or whatever you prefer (of course, you have to be rooted) , then reboot, then install Google Home(chromecast) from the play store. That worked fine in the CM's. I'll see if I can dig up the correct file names & folders that apply to this version and get back to this thread if I do.
I'll be happy to be the guinea pig, so don't do this unless you want to take a chance on screwing up your phone, until I report back.
Edit 1: Of course, the 3t does it differently. They're using all /data spaces for the cast, and since I've installed "google home" I have to get rid of it first to figure out which files remain. Here is what there is right now, not that there is anything worth doing with it unless I've uninstalled Google Cast via play store:
/data/data/com.google.android.gms/cache/cast_mirroring_raw_events.log.gz
/data/data/com.google.android.gms/shared_prefs/google_cast.xml
