[Q]Open with option? - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to set an "open with..." shortcut on android, like there is with Windows? So that it automatically opens with a specified application when I tap on the file? I see there is an open as option, but that isn't close to what I'm trying to achieve.

Hey, check out this page. There's a few tips and tricks on there that may help. Look for "How to Set and Clear a Default App".

Thanks for the link to the site, it will definitely come in handy.
But, sadly, that doesn't do it.
The program I want to run the file is a GBA Emulator. And the file is a .gba; so when I tap the icon of the gba file it asks what to open it as. But the emulator won't be listed.

Missing Download buttons!

I just installed CM7 on two NC's. I am seeing something strange in the Android App store. Some of the more common apps that I have used in the past like Astro, Facebook and others do not have a download button (or any button for that matter).
If someone can explain why and what I can do to resove this problem that would be great. A side note the NC's are using two diffrent gmail accounts.
Same and I'm using one gmail account. Also it looks like I've had a kinda old version of Facebook installed for a while (1.6.1) without marker stating there was a .2 or a .3 release. I uninstalled the app and that is how I found out about there being no download button. So it might of been a problem with some of the last nightlies as well

It's a problem with new market. Try uninstalling updates in the settings for the market.

I think it is because the new market is device sensitive, our devices show up as B&N nook colors, the market thinks we are running crippled e-readers and doesn't let us download all the cool ****.
Do what koopakid08, go to your application settings > manage applications, find the market and "uninstall updates"
New market looked crap anyway.

I followed what people said to do in this thread but when I try to edit the MarketUpdater.apk file name I get an error "Insuffecent Permissions". I'm really new to all of this I feel like I am missing some important part of this CM7 process. Any light on what I'm missing would be great!

What I did was rename MarketUpdater.apk to MarketUpdater.apk.bak by using linux on the sdcard that I'm booting cm7 off of. Not sure how to do it if you're running cm7 on the emmc.
With the help of a friend I found what I had to do so I am able to edit apps if CM7 is loaded on the emmc. I found this extremely useful so I will link the wiki that fixed my issue.

What did you fix? How?
I updated and also have no Download button. The panel that button should be on flashes white. When I uninstall updates, my old market comes back, but after I leave the market, the new one returns, with the download button. After I leave that market and return, functionality falls apart. The main page doesn't open correctly, Download button disappears, and frames become shaky. What's the deal???

LOL! But don't think I'm your new Market, to laugh at you: I'm one of the sufferers with not only download buttons being eaten by Green Dude, but also icons for previously downloaded apps missing. Mine are all free apps, but I can't imagine how people with disappearing paid apps could get refunds now.
Anyone to share his/her experiences with the best/fullest alternative apps marts? Thank you.

I simply downloaded super manager from the market then renamed market updater..
1. Open super manager
2. Enable root function option
3. Use built in file explorer in super manger to find market updater.apk.(should be in system apps...)
4. Rename. I simply renamed (.bin instead of apk...)
This will preventing market from updating...
Hope this helps all....

Searched, seems that feature is available on MIUI only. No lucky with stock CM7.

Can you side-load an app not compatible with your version?

Hey everyone,
Good old fashioned noob question here. Got my Nexus 7 and love it, but EA apparently hasn't released a version of Scrabble for it yet, as the play store say it's not compatible with my device. Guess I'd like to give it a shot installing it anyway and see how bad or good it is. This is possible, right? If so, how does one go about doing this?
Thanks
the best answer would be 'maybe'.
Yes it should install, but no it might not run

But how do you get it to install? App store doesn't allow you to download it.
thinking the same... wouldnt mind installing viber but the market says its not compatible with device...
Download the app to your phone, go into data/app, find the app then either move it to the sdcard then transfer it to your N7. A quicker way (if you have an online storage app) is to long press on the app in data/app, select "send", then send it to your online storage then download it to your N7. I use my Box account for this all the time.
Also make sure you check the setting to "allow installation of non-market apps"

Exactly what I've been doing
Easy way once you have downloaded it on your computer is to put it in your dropbox, open dropbox on your tablet, and install.
I used MyAppSharer to save the .apk from my Kindle Fire into my Google Drive and it sideloaded fine on my Nexus 7. It runs fine, but it doesn't use up all of the screen. Haven't tried the phone version yet, so if you do, let me know how it goes.
Most work fine. Some don't.

... and some, like the ASUS Weather Widget work- but you can't save your settings (like wanting the temperature to display in F rather than C) because the "Save" button is off the screen on the N7
I've done it with iReader and it works fine.
DARN! I did it, and it works, but it's tiny. Takes up like 1/5 of the screen. I bet the kindle fire version would be better than the phone version.
Well, thanks for the help everyone! Hey EA...if you're reading this, stop being so lazy and just release a version compatible with the Nexus 7!

[Q] Has anyone gotten the Amazon Kindle app to work with a non-stock Launcher?

I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD with ADW Launcher EX running alongside the default Launcher.
When I am using ADW I cannot open the Kindle app; I was wondering if anyone else experiences this or what I can try to fix this.
I would use just ADW as my default launcher but it would make my Kindle Fire HD less of a Kindle without my books.
I noticed this as well when using Go Launcher. I also am unable to find Magazines which I use a lot, so I have to switch back to the normal launcher.
I second this question, anyone get the Kindle App working?

Nope, no luck either. This is one of the reasons why I'm keeping my KFHD unrooted but use ADW Launcher EX... I like the flexibility.
I downloaded the kindle app from the market and last night got all my books in there, BUT today when I tried to open it it said it was not installed. I don't know what happened or how to fix it yet. I am trying, will keep you posted! This is bugging me, I want to get to my books without launching in kindle. I am using go launcher hd.
Update: I can not get that app to work, I can not even un install it.
But, I went to the market and installed "kindle shortcut" there are 2 kindle widgets, make sure you pick the right one, it is the second one. I am using go launcher hd. Go to add widgets. Click it, click the kindle shortcut widget. It will load all your books, you will see the name of the book at the top, check the box that says use art work, it will use the book cover. This will add the book on your home screen page. You can then open the book, with go launcher it asked me which launcher IT wanted to use the first time only, after that it directly opens your book, and to the exact place you were reading. The only bummer is you have to do it for each book, add widget, click book name, pick next book, check use art work, etc. Hope this helps, at least I can get to my books without launching kindle now! I'm thinking maybe make a folder to put them in?
The name of the app in the market is Kindle widget, on my kindle it says kindle shortcut.
Ok, I could not stand taking up 3 dock pages with my books and you can not make a folder for widgets, only apps. I did find an app called widget folder, it is specifically for widgets. I downloaded it, added each book shortcut, still one at a time. Now all my books are under the one app, not scattered over 3 dock pages. In order to change the name press and hold, you can not re name within the app. So far no problems. Although you can not get to the cloud, it still puts all your books in one place so you do not have to use kindle launcher just to get to books. Hope it helps until the devs get it all sorted out.

Download and sideload install.
It's not on the amazon app store so you'll need to find another source..
Run launcher
I run ADW EX and just have a shortcut to Amazon Launcher (the KFHD desktop) in the dock. I hit that and am back to the "stock" OS. Hit the home button and I'm back in ADW. I am rooted however.

Send it to your kindle email. It will show up on your Amazon account and be pushed to all your devices that have the kindle app. They will even format it for you if you put the correct command line in the subject, however I can't think of it off the top of my head.

The Kindle app treats "books" differently from documents. I am pretty sure the Documents folder should load in the Kindle App as long as they are the right format.
Books are in: MOBI, AZW, and PRC
Documents can be: TXT or PDF
The best format is to convert ebooks to Mobi or AZW.
I do not know exactly where the Kindle app is looking, but I would actually recommend and application: Calibre (just Google "Calibre ebook"). It doesn't officially support Amazon Kindle Fire HD, but it does support Kindle Fires right now. There are other apps you can use, but I'm assuming you are loading non-Amazon ebooks.

Use Calibre to do the upload. It will convert the file and place it in the correct folder in the right format. The document folder is the default for kindle books. The latest version recognizes my Fire HD and uploads flawlessly.

I was able to get that first one you mentioned to work, and and in my opinion it's the one you want. I am For it to work you need to change the directory to "/mnt/sdcard/Books/Sidecars". The only problem is that you need to have a "coverssmall" directory within that to have cover art for your books that contains the files from "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files/small" on in it. Normally for that I'd do something like "ln -s /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files/small /mnt/sdcard/Books/Sidecars/coverssmall" but the fat32 sdcard won't allow siblings so I just copied the directory over and renamed it. It's not a perfect solution since I'll have to do it every single time I get a new book to have cover art, but surely one of the gurus here can think of a better way to do it.
I installed busybox and sManager (script manager) and wrote a small script that copies the files from one directory to the other. Unfortunately the widget does not detect the new files by itself so i have to recreate it,hmm strange!

Got the kindle app to work by reading another thread. Renamed otter to a .bak instead of apk, (in system apps) then downloaded and installed kindle app apk, not on Google play. Download-moved to system app-changed permissions-then installed. Got my books back yaaaaa! Hope this helps.
This worked for me as well, but after rebooting the device the Kindle App disappeared. Did you already reboot yours and the kindle app is still alive?

Can't read anymore Amazon books on KFHD. Help, please!
My KFHD is rooted, with perfectly working ADW launcher and Google Play with various Google apps (but no way to install Maps, for some reason: Google play says it's incompatible with my device, while I keep reading here that it is done by several people ).
I had the problem described above, being unable to get to my Kindle books from ADW. The described Kindle widgets (or shortcuts) refuse to install on my tablet. I tried to install the Kindle reader apk I am using on my Galaxy II phone, and it apparently installed, accepted my Amazon login, even displayed sone - not all - of my books, but when I try to open a book, it just exits back to the ADW home screen. I also tried disinstalling it via Titanium Backup and reinstalling, but still it wont open any book.
And switching to the uriginal Amazon environment, I saw that the original reader disappeared with all my books!
So, I got an Amazon tablet unable to read Amazon books! Somebody knows how to get back the original reader? Or has any other useful suggestion? Thanks everybody!

That is not correct. ADW launcher ex works without rooting. The only limitation is that tapping the home key brings up the original kindle ui. But a simple tap of the adw icon in the carousel brings adw back up.

I used ADW Launcher EX version 1.3.3.56
I tried all of the popular launchers, none of them worked. This version of ADW worked for me.
To install it, simply obtain the .apk file and place it on your KFHD. Then use a file explorer, like ES File Explorer to locate the file and execute it. That will install it. Then from the Amazon UI, go to "Apps" and tap the ADW icon.
It should work fine. As I mentioned earlier, the only limitation is that tapping the "home" softkey brings up the default Amazon UI. But the ADW icon appears in the carousel so tapping on that icon brings the launcher back.
It's a very nice and safe way to use an alternative launcher.

Hm! Thanks for the correction. I had no idea that was true. Someone should find out why that happens and get something set up so people can easily do that for their kindle in case they aren't sure about rooting their device. Even when we get new OSs and such, I think people may want to keep the kindle OS and still like a familiar look of an android OS. Or maybe we can request ADW find out so it still works with future updates and whatnot? NO other launcher works this way that you've tried? Only ADW?

For books, that's up to you. I never looked into, nor used, ebooks of any sort, kind, or make.I used moon reader because I could just browse to where I had my kindle books (co-worker kindly gave me a bunch, so I had a nice little collection) and it works from there. I'd say it's an alright reader, but you will most likely have to get a reader you like that can open any kind of file. I'm just not to knowledgeable for that, but moonreader does work. For any Kindle books you can get the kindle app from the PlayStore and use your books from there.
For the second part, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051270
To sum it up, I'll paste what the guide says:
To change the lockscreen we need a few apk from the android market.
A. No Lock
B. Rom toolbox
C. Your favorite lookscreen ( I use Picture Password a copy of Windos 8 lockscreen)
Simply install Rom Toolbox, No lock, and lockscreen form market.
Open Rom toolbox and select App Manager find No Lock from the list and long press it. A menu will pop up, select "Convert to system app". Reboot device ( To skip this step you can also download No Lock apk from internet and place it on system/app)
Open No lock and hit enable, now you have no stock lockscreen, feel free to install your favorite lockscreen
*Note from myself:
In following the guide, go locker was being a butt to me. I then remembered ages ago that I bought widgetlocker, and that it would have exactly what I wanted. Now, right now, WidgetLocker IS a system app on my kindle. It works. I am not sure if this is needed, as it is not listed in the guide, but if you try the lockscreen and it doesn't work, you may need to make it a system app, I just wish I could remember WHY I did it.
Good luck!

ahh ok what you need to do is instead of ..\..\root do

assuming you saved it to a file directly on your c drive and called it root
do the same when it asks you to do ..\..\qemuroot exept put cd C:\qemuroot....these are basic commands... You may consider reading up on windows and xda commands to help you along the way if you run into issues

[Q] Web Browser disappear after 2.0.6 update

My nook HD automatically updated to 2.0.6. However, my web browser disappear after update, as well as several applications. I use Apex launcher, which is my default home screen. However, on my NOOK home, all the application icons disappear. I can still see most of the applications under settings/applications, but they will never show on my NOOK home application window. Besides web browser, my NETFLIX has also disappeared. I tried go to SHOP and reload the NETFLIX, and it showed failed because it said that I already purchased this application. Now I can not use NETFLIX.
I find a kidsBrowser icon under my APEX application window and I tried to open it, and it showed that I don't have permission to open browser. To be able to use internet, I went to NOOK SHOP and installed the Dolphin Browser because it is free. It works perfectly and I prefer this better than the NOOK browser, Now on my NOOK APPS screen, there are only 2 icons: "Dolphin Browser" and "Settings". Very strange.
Perhaps your profile got messed up?

That is the issue. You need to re-edit your profile to make them show.

How?
For example. My NETFLIX is gone, I can not find it on my NOOK, and I can not reinstall it. I even tried using APEX launcher to find it from past activity. I did successfully add the icon back to my APEX home screen, but I can not open it because it showed that the NEXFLIX is not installed.
Go into settings. Deregister device. Then re-register it

Click where it says [Your Name]'s Nook at the top > Edit Profiles > Edit [Your Name] > Manage content. Then click the Apps section and make sure everything you want is checked.
