How Tod display recent/running apps - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
at the first I wish you an happy new year. Does anyone known how to enable KFHD to display the recent/running apps?
I mean a button same to this picture right bottom, next to the home button.

This is using in a regularly android to switch between the open apps.
In a first step it is enough to have an app in the KFHD favorized apps menu, that is able to show the recent apps.
Anyone an idea to solve my requirement?
Best regards!

HTC navigation software

Hi I recently had to factory reset my desire hd. Today I opened the car panel and the navigation button is greyed out, and I cannot find the application in the app draw. Does anyone know a way to get hold of the .apk or can anyone post it up. I still have the map files on my SD card.
Thanks.

Try adding the Footprints widget to see if it gives you the option to redownload locations, I had a similar problem and that did it for me,

I don't have a footprint widget in my list of widgets...

Well I put the locations widget on the home screen and got into the navigation, and activated my free trial (something I didn't do before, or have to do) and the icon is no longer blanked out. However I'm sure there was a direct link to the map application without having to go through the car panel.
Thanks for the help, looks like footprints has been combined with locations etc.

Sweet so the app is there, are you still missing the locations app in your app list?
try going to: settings -> location -> reinstall (under location service)
this reinstalls the htc locations app
I reinstalled it for a second time and it is now functioning and the icon has been restored, thanks for all the help guys.

Task switcher for kindle hd

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good task switch er, something like ctrl tab in windows that can be controlled by the notification, gesture or long press of home key that works on the kindle hd ?
I would like to use it to capture notes into one note and easily switch between one note and the ebook reading apps.
Thanks in advance

A better idea may be to get aNdClip. It allows you to store multiple items in your clipboard (up to 100 for the free version) to called back whenever you want. It would prevent you from having to switch back and forth between apps.
Put your frequently used apps in favorites. You have to do it in stock launcher I think, but that favorites is accessible everywhere and you can switch apps via it.
Thanks for the tips and suggestions!

[Q] tapped back soft button 3 times from stock camera app

When I am in the camera app, i tapped the back soft key rapidly 3 times to exit camera app to go into my home screen. However it launches me into the google quick search.
This is not a major issue but juz like to know if anyone encounters this too. Software glitch or meant to be this way? I know that dragging from soft keys will bring us to quick search.

Do you mean Google Now? AKA Google Cards?
My phone does this and it did it on my Xperia T.
It does it in almost any situation where i hit the back button multiple times quickly and gets very annoying after a while!
Right. Sorry bout that. I meant Google Now. Apparently only happened in camera app. No prob with other app. And yes very irritating!

you can disable it . go into settings / applications choose all app tab and find google search apk uninstall updates and disable it and you will not have that issue anymore.
Thank you! That helped alot!

Nova launcher

Hello, recently I bought nook hd+ and installed nova luncher right away. The problem is that on Nova I can't access recent tasks. First, pressing the button brings menu with big delay (working good with stock launcher) and it doesn't show any app there(again works good on stock). How can I make recent tasks work? I'm rooted by the way.
Also(not related) when I uninstall some bloatware, after some time they still come back. I uninstalled normally, with titanium backup, deleting all directly but they still come back. Any solution?

No, the third party launchers do not show recents. You need to get another third party app like recents plus.
And those apps are put back by stock automatically. Since you are rooted you could try freezing them with TB. That might work.

Google Service not responding

Got a strange issue on my Opti 4X
When i go into Play Store and try and access the 'my apps' section I get a
'Unfortunatley Google Play Store has stopped' message
I have reset my phone, uninstalled play store back to default so it could update itself, cleared the cache.
LG have advised me to speak to Google but if I can avoid that I will
Im running the stock rom.

Factory reset is my advice before that BACKUP all your data (contacts,pictures,sms etc..)
But I have done a factory reset and that google play store my apps issie still happens.
Its only on my Opti 4x
When I try on my Galaxy S running CM11 theres no problem?
Is it time to ditch stock?

I have the same problem and have read online that others have it too.
One work-around is instead of clicking on the button, swipe left to right, that will show the same menu as the button without crashing the app.
Yes, i have the same issue Google Play; regardless of what function it is presenting at the time (back, menu etc) the softkey in the top left corner of the Play screen causes the app to crash. It is very frustrating to say the least but as I see it the only viable solution seems to be to swipe left and right as mentioned above and wait for the next update from Google as it appears to be very much a bug in the app rather than any problem with the phone itself. I have a Nexus 7 also so I will check sometime and see if there are any issues with that (I use the Nexus mostly as an alarm clock and e-reader so it does not go online much therefore there will be just about every app to update including Google Play before I can report back).
I know my reply does not offer anything new or provide much help but at least you know that it is not caused by the phone and you can avoid wasting more time with backups, restores and factory resets etc.
Ok peoples, I have found this elsewhere in the XDA forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/lg-optimus-jelly-bean-play-store-fix-t2852146
I will give it a go at some point over the weekend and let you know if it makes any difference
I installed the Xposed module in the above post and hey presto, Google Play doesn't crash out when you press the top left soft key
