yeah im in the same situation, ive tried them all and no problems, just unsure if theyre actually working as intended

Same as me, all installed OK on CM, but don't know if they did anything. I did notice if you go to PA, don't try install them. It just says installing until you reset the device.

I'm in the same boat. I think its helping.

Bricked device after 7.2.1?

I'm wondering if, after the new update, anyone's had a bricked device? I unrooted before since I was afraid of that, but if no one got problems so far, its safe to root once again... Besides would love to know of someone was able to avoid the update somehow. It has officially been releases a while ago (you can look into amazon's update software page)

Nope, my device was rooted when I got the ota, but I did not get bricked. I just re rooted with the qemu tool.
did u have gplay installed?
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
Yes, and I can still install just fine from it.
One las question, did ypu have a custom launcher and no problem?? If so, Im ready to stay rooted
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
No problems with custom launchers but the update does remove them. So you have to reinstall after the update

Not correct, I still have Nova Launcher as default after update.
Personally, anything I had placed in system was removed for me. This included Nova launcher, Swype, and the Vending.apk for gplay. I just rerooted and put them all back, and everything else I had as retained.

I just got mine, and once it was booted up, it clearly did an auto upgrade to 7.2.1. I got the QEMU root tool but the Kindle is never recognized when I plug it into the computer.
Any ideas why that's happening?

[Q] Google Now on stock SGH-i957

Has anyone got Google now working on their SGH-i957 running the stock ICS rom? I have it on my phone, a motorola Droid 4 via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
which explains how to put google now on your ics device. I found NOTHING in the thread even remotely close to mentioning our device, most likely because we are such a small niche. I am too nervous to try flashing without knowing ahead of time if it will work. Curious if anyone has tried or knows how to get Google now on the device since I believe it was already determined we will never see JellyBean right?
Install or reinstall Google search. Now is part of it. Get it on the play store.

You are correct in your statement that Google Now is part of google search, however that feature is only available if you are running 4.1 or higher (i.e. JellyBean).
My question has to do with hacking it to get it to work on the the sgh-i957 running 4.0(Ice cream Sandwich)

You're probably right. I have 4.1.2 running on my i957 so wasn't thinking of ics. I'll have to restore to ics and see if I can get it to work.

Yep, it doesn't work on ics. You should install a custom rom. Nrvates cm10 works well.

Well i know it doesn't work via a stock ICS rom, but I am trying to see if someone has gotten it working using the hack in the link I provided, or if someone knows if this is an arm6 or arm7 processor or neither.
I don't want to go the custom ROM route. Did that before with nrvates CM10 rom and the power died and i couldn't chsrge it. Had to mail it back to Sammy for repair. Now i have it running stock, rooted, ICS and I love it... But i want google now

You can check the cpu version on settings, about tablet. I don't have mine with me or I'd check it, Pretty sure it's a 7.
It's sounds like I had the same problem with nrvate's as you. That's interesting, I thought it was just a fluke. I too repaired thru Sammy.
If I find some time tonight I might play around with this. I too like the stock ics and now I'm even more concerned with nrvate's.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I see one initial problem. The rom needs to be dodexed. The stock rom won't be. You'll have to be running a custom ics.

Did you flash the zip? I think I'll try the apk first. Can't screw up anything too bad with that. Then I might try the zip if that doesn't work. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

It works. I downloaded the offline zip for the arm 7. In recovery, cleared cache and dalvic. Flashed the zip.
Edit: it sort of works. Try it and see if it's good enough.
Edit: the online version works best, offline, not so good

Sweet! Sort of... Lol
Can you be specific about what's not working in each the offline and online versions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using Tapatalk HD
I won't mess with the off line. It really doesn't work well. The only issue I've had with the online is it doesn't always close. To close out I've had to press on the show more cards, which I know doesn't make sense but it does close it. Other than that it works well and does everything it does in cm10.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
By not closing, do you mean you swipe it away and it comes right back?
Thats a common problem with this hack. Known issue.
I run the offline version daily and other than that issue i dont really have any problems so i was just curious what your specific issues were...
I guess i'll play it safe and go with the online version
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, so I tried this out and thought i would answer my own question in case someone else was interested.
As far i can tell, THE OFFLINE VERSION DOESN'T WORK AT ALL
It is not a small bug, or quirky, it simply doesn't work. Don't even waste your time.
So far, no problems on the online version that I can see

Cannot install apks

Hey, for some weird reason I can't install apks. When I try to install one, clicking the install button does nothing. Like it doesn't even respond to my touch. Anybody got any insight into my issue. Everything else works fine even installing apps from the market. I installed youngunn 's holoblur rom yesterday. If I'm not mistaken, this might gave started when I updated busybox on the previous stock rom. Thanks.

Do you have HALO enabled? That breaks manual APK installing.
No I'm on youngunn's holoblur ROM which doesn't have Halo yet. Installing apks works now. Thanks for trying to help.

[Q] Black screen problem when executing "Subway surfers"

As it appears on title, I've issued a problem that is really strange. When I execute the game "Subway Surfers", a black screen appear and nothing happens.
I've Carbon ROM installed, but this issue is present also with illusion ROM and Revolt ROM (at least). Temple run and many other games are working. Reinstalling the game seems not fixing the issue.
Is there a configuration to make it working ? Maybe this can happen with other games, I don't know.

What about Stock ROM?
I'm having this same issue with Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Galaxy S4. After the "Paris" update, I'll get a black screen when launching the app. Downgrading to the Miami update lets you play, but any newer versions don't work. They launch, and then display a black screen.

fcs after update from 20130802 to 0817
Hi,
was on vacation and could not follow the threads, just flashed the new nightly 20130817 (coming from 20130802), realized no google sync and fcs so I figured that I needed the new gapps and flashed it. Works better now, but I still have issues when running chrome or ROM Manager:
"Chrome has stopped working" (same with Rom Manager).
Deleted the apps cache, but it did not help, anything that I´m missing?
Thanks for advice!

I had the same issue. Forgot to flash gapps, then did it, then still had FCs on a number of my Google apps. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the offending apps from the play store. So there's always that option.

For the next time, just dirty-flash the same ROM and the gapps right after. That did it for me recently.
flashed fresh copy, went to about, found SElinux or something, tapped it lots, phone was stuck on cynagendmod screen during boot.

Had that happen before. Had to boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik.
On-topic: So flashing gapps is completely necessary when going from one 10.2 nightly to another?
