Hello all,
New on the kindle scene. Loving the hacking so far. I have not found a way to swap out the awful kindle search with google's. I assume it must be possible somehow. I guess the keyboard would be a nice switch too. Is that possible?
Thanks to all, especially prokennexusa, for all the help. Is that a tennis reference prokennex?

You can change the keyboard I use go keyboard
1. Download Titanium Backup (If not installed) 2. Iook for the Application named Search 1.1 Backup the application 3. Freeze the app and Reboot your Kindle. Well Ah! I Google Search.

I also installed Google Quick Search apk that I downloaded from another post here on the forums. What i noticed is that it installed properly but it was disabled. Once I froze the unified search apk using titanium Backup I was able to go in and enable the google search and it works great. :good:

Okay so my problem is, i uninstalled Google Search via titanium backup, then reinstalled it via market...now my search button does not bring up google search and any other app that links to google search gets a FC when attempting to do a search...i did this with all my Gapps and none of the other one's are having this issue, im wondering if there is a way i can get the search app re-recognized by the system without having to reflash my ROM
Try integrating the app back into system using the Titanium batch option...

its not an option for me, the only thing there is Market
Use Root Explorer to look for the app in /data/app, and move it to /system/app, then rename to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk and reboot.

Hello friends!
I updated my cell from froyo to Gingerbread as then restored all my apps with help of Titanium backup pro. Problem is that now all my apps some how got unlinked with the Market and when I go to my apps in Market, none of my apps are shown in the list. Because of this I dont come to know if there are any updates available for any of my installed apps.
Is there any way to link them back with Market without installing them all over again.
Thankyou.

Try going to settings>application>manage applications and clearing data/cache or whatever it lets you clear of the market app.
Go to titanium backup>options> more>market doctor.. Since you are on pro titanium backup you can use market doctor..

@EPHRAIM033 Does that mean I can link a app downloaded via .apk to the market? And, yes, the app is also in the market..Can I do it or no?
this worked only once.. later again those apps lost the links i think.. they are not appearing in 'my apps' on market!!!!!!!!!

what worked for me was to re download the app from the market on wifi. it will error out with the message already installed then will show up as installed in google play.
An easy way of pushing the apps to the phone is to log onto googleplay web site reselect the app and select install.

Of course you can. But if the linked app is a cracked paid one(ore a free app from an other market eg getjar wich is free there) the market will show it in my apps but it won't let you update it... If the app is avaiable for free in the market and you donwloaded it else where there are no problems with linking and updating it..(and no i dont have illegal apps i know it cause the "gold apps" from getjar are not updatable after linking them to the market, it'll show you a message that you didn't purchase the app..)
Found this karoges app by cloudnine in the market under my installed apps and there's no uninstall option nor can I find it I will titanium. Running stock rooted kl7 wondering if anyone else has seen this???

Well... i searched for that app in market but i couldn't find such app named "KAROGES"
Looks strange, but as you are root, you should kill the app+file+task.
Wouldn't be the first time there is malware in the market.

I ran into that problem today also.! Like Conqueror_1 had said, it is a link to a standard video player and it might be harmless... I'm not one to find out.! If your rooted you can delete it from your system... After using everything I could to un-install and could not find it (so irritating) I used my root explorer I found the app that linking us to that video thingy... it was in my system/app and it would be your videoplayer.apk... I just deleted the apk and rebooted my phone, now gone... I hope this helps.!
Step 1: Hit the "Report" button
Step 2: Delete it using Root Explorer/AntTek/Titanium
Step 3: There's no step 3
hi everybody. since when i started using the note i had problems in freezing/defreezing apps. i tried rom toolbox pro, titanium backup, anttek app manager and the last version of sd maid, but the only one that works is the anttek one. i wrote to every developer of each app without receiving any answer. someone of you has some ideas about the reasons of this problem?
What's the problem you're having? When freezing, are they not, or when unfreezing is it causing issues? What apps specifically are you freezing?

You don't have proper root.

As stated above you need to be rooted - as for TB: it has (had?) some problems with unfreezing apps, what works for me is Root App Delete - which surprisingly does not delete apps, only renames them to *.bak, to be removed if you want later.
It's not on your list so you could try this one as well.
or if you like the thrill of adventure, there's also [Script Generator] Lite-ROM Creator

When i try to freeze apps, the process never end, so i have to end it manually. After that the app results freezed. If i try to defreeze it, the process never end again, so i end it by myself, but after that the apps is always freezed. I tried to wait, but after 20 mins the process was still going.

I have also root app delete, but i would prefer a more specialized app, like rom toolbox or titanium. Anyway, if i recycle an app without deleting it, it is like freezed. I should try this if it is like that. Thanks!

Developer of SD Maid here.
Could you pm me your email adress?
I never received an email from you. I answer every email i get, if i understand it (sometimes the translator can't make sense out of russian emails ).
If you turn on DEBUG output in SD Maids settings and email me (support @ thedarken [dot] eu) an android log, i can work on fixing the issue.

Oops. Sorry my fault. I haven't never email you. I didn't want to lie, so excuse me. But i don't know how to show you the problem, because the program doesn't show any error, it can't simply complete the operation. If you can explain me how to show you the exact problem, i'll do immediately. Thanks alot for your time.

In SDMAID, go to settings, general, turn on "DEBUG" output.
Download an app like "aLogCat", have it record the android log, then start sd maid, reproduce the problem and mail me the log.
Turning DEBUG on will make SD Maid very chatty in the log, giving alot of extra info on what it is doing, which might help me pin down the cause for the problem.
Blimey, personal support from Dev... Will be taking a look at your apps Dark3n ;-)

Having the same problems as @asusgarb
I'm using MyToolbox in MyBackUp Pro. Running Stock deodexed ROM XXLC1 with franco.kernel test version (soon to be renamed v10).
As said earlier, Freeze just stops instead of giving the reboot dialog box. Manual reboot yields frozen app. Unfreeze works the same. Just stops but the app and the device are not locked up. Reboot yields still frozen. Dev has no answer yet.

Try SD Maid, does it have this problem too?
If it does, turn on debug output and get me a log.
Found a solution!
App Quarantine (free @ Play) solved the unfreeze problem for me! It unfreezes all frozen apps and then I refroze the apps I wanted frozen using MyBackUp Pro again.
Here is the developer's blog page with the easy instructions.
http://ramdroid.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/app-quarantine-solves-ebm-policy-issues-on-galaxy-note/
It took a total of 5 minutes to unfreeze and re-freeze using this method. It is similar to the restore all button in Titanium BU as I understand it. All I know is it worked for me!!!
Thanks for the reply Dark3n. I found this solution before I saw your reply.

I use link2sd
Pulled this off of the Kindle Fire HD thread, seems to work fine on otter2.
1. Enable installation of applications from unknown sources in Kindle Fire Settings.
2. Install GoogleLoginService.apk.
3. Reboot.
4. Install the Google Apps.
5. Start YouTube. Sign In. It will take you to Google Account Manager to create/use existing Google credentials.
6. Same goes for other apps. In case sign in fails for any of the apps (except Maps/GTalk) drag down the Kindle Fire notification bar, click on the notification for "Permission requested....." and assign required permissions.
The files can be downloaded from here

I was able to use the same Root Method that the HD uses to gain root on My Fire2

After Getting Root I used this method to get the Market/Play Store working.

After I got both working I was able to install HoloLauncher HD. I moved it from data/app to system/app
and set the permisions to rw-r-r. A reboot gave me the option to select my default launcher.
I may not have a Custom Rom due to the locked bootloaders
but atleast I can enjoy a nice Android experience and use some of the Apps I purchased now.
