Hi android developers, I have my kindle fire hd 7 softkeys hidden using qemu.hw.mainkeys=1. The problem is this gets rid of my app menu icon in the action bar. And lmt launcher's app menu button won't work please help
Update, this is to clarify qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 gets rid of softkeys and gap between keyboard and notification menu but as I said has a glitch with the app menu button not being shone in action bar. How do I force a tablet to show it in action bar or get the app menu button to work on lmt launcher
Wait, are you saying that when you changed that line in the build.prop that you don't have the gap? How is that possible? Send a screenshot please.
As for the menu button, you'll have to lower the density of the device or flash a custom rom.
Go to build.prop and add the code qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 on a new line. Then restart device This is telling the device that you have hard keys. Thus not giving you the gab. The problem is like I said it gets rid of app menu in action bar and lmt launchers app menu sadly didn't work. This is what I'm trying to fix. Own order to mess with build.prop you need to be rooted and have we file explorer installed

Do you have a screenshot to show that you don't have the gap anymore? I'm asking because I tried this method long ago and the gap remained. And yes, I am rooted running a custom rom.
For the menu button, you can lower the density or switch roms to get it back.

Here is the screen shot. As you can see the notification bar is down and there is no gap. As I said before there is still a glitch, there is no way to get into the app menu. Because the lmt launcher app menu button doesn't so you are locked out. That is why I am currently still during the dumb nav bar at the bottom of the screen.
BTW I'm have Kindle Fire HD 7 running version 7.3.1 forked version ICS 4.0.3, Stock amazon os rom with ADW as default launcher, rooted with binary root with restore v31. So with these stats is there a way to fix the app menu problem
Anybody have any ideas

What do you mean lower the density and how do I do that. Is it dangerous
Sent from my KFTT using XDA Premium HD app
Lowering the density is another setting in the build.prop. I don't remember if its dangerous nor not I think it might make some apps display incorrectly if not set right though.

The rom kinology uses a 200 dpi even though I'm on stock rom will that be safest since kinology is basically amazon is with perks. Will it not boot loop my kindle if I set it to 200
Sent from my KFTT using XDA Premium HD app
Idk about boot loops, I haven't ever messed with the density, I think it will just make or screen malfunction, if it malfunctions too bad you'd have to pull the file over adb then push it back after making necessary changes and chmod the permissions back to how they were.

I like my Galaxy Tab P1C!
My current issue is that I don't like the Softkeys!
I have googled quite a few times looking for a guide to disable them, but have turned up empty handed so far...
If its easier to go from Tablet UI to Phone UI (WITHOUT CHANGING THE DPI), and someone knows how its done or can provide the files needed or even teach how its done, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Go to setting/rom control/power menu option and enable navigation bar toggle.then press power button and disable navugation bar.
For ph ui change tablet dpi to 240.on cm9 dpi modder from market works.its quite easy.or els

Thanks for the info, but I already knew how to do that...
As I said, I want the phone UI, WITHOUT changing the DPI...
Appreciate the thought anyway
If you change the dpi to 161 I think you will have the phone UI with nearly the same dpi, but you will have play store incompatiblity.
This is just a suggestion I never used CM, I have aokp installed in my tab.

But why do you want phone ui without changing dpi?

Ill try 161, I generally stick to the standard 160/240/320 for tablet/phone/hi-rez
I also use GMarket v3.4.7 modified for DPI and no-update, so the only issue I can see happening is if an app self-checks the DPI
Why do I want the PhoneUI you ask? Read the OP...
i'm runing cm10 on my 8.9 tab i don't want the tablet UI i want it to be like the nexus 7
can anyone help please?
I have a non rooted Kindle Fire HD and wanted to set a 3rd party app as default action for home button. Its telling me to "Clear Defaults" on Kindle Fire stock Launcher but its greyed out. Any idea on how to pick other app as a default launcher without rooting the device?

Nope. The only way to set another launcher to default is to make it a system app, which cannot be done without root access

Hello! This is my first post on this forum, so please LMK if I have breached any protocol.
I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD running 7.2.2 (I have disabled auto-updates by renaming otacerts) with Nova Launcher and Hololocker. Everything was working beautifully for a month or so, Google market is running great, etc.
It locked up streaming a video yesterday and I restarted the Kindle. When I restarted the Kindle, I had the screen locked in Horizontal mode. Now, when I start my system I cannot get the system tray to appear at the bottom of the screen nor can I get into the options menu at the top of the screen.
What are your thoughts on how to fix this? Some googling indicates that this functionality is controlled by the systemui.apk file. Is there some modification to this file I can do to fix the problem? Should I reinstall Hololocker? Nova Launcher?
Switching back to the Amazon home screen does not fix the problem.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Solved
>>Solved! (that was quick) Disenabling hololocker fixed this. Then I reenabled and it is hunky-dory.
However, if anyone has any good tips or tricks for hacking the systemui file, they sure would be appreciated!

apoth30sis,
The screen lockers sometimes cause the tray and the upper status bar to disappear. We
are looking into a solution. Do not edit the systemui.apk file, the results can be
disastrous. We will post a solution once we have a solid Locker program. So far
everyone has some bugs, so we are designing our own. Thank you for the post, we
will advise once we are ready.
I had similar problem. Somehow, the notification bar is tied into the Google apps you installed for Google Play. To fix this, you must activate your Gmail app on your fire HD. Once it's activated, your notification bar will return. Don't forget to reboot after activating Gmail app.

ameswilliam,
This makes sense since Gmail sends a setup command to the notification bar.
Thank you for the feedback.
I'm currently using Omega StatusBar but it's buggy at best. After enabling in accessibility settings I find that the counters are frequently incorrect, apps stick around after clearing notifications, and ongoing notifications don't play very nice.
Anyone using a statusbar with more success? Which one?
I'm looking for any which display icons for notifications rather than the vague circle with a number within it as present in the stock os. It's good to see what's going on at a glance without swiping down.

+1 want to know the best bar too xD
I wasn't even able to get Omega StatusBar to display notifications on my 8.9" HD. As soon as I turned on the "accessibility" option necessary for it to intercept notifications, I got a force close.
I've tried a couple of other status bar replacements from the Play store with the same results -- all fail turning accessibility on. I've seen reports of other 8.9" users having the same problem.
I would certainly like to hear of a working status bar that doesn't have this problem.
The stock status bar works.

You have to go to the Kindle's settings -> accessibility -> then turn on the option for Omega Statusbar accessibility.
From there you can turn on the accessibility within Omega's app. It might force close but it will work.
At that point when you open the Omega app you will want to hit the button on the top-right-most of the screen. It turns on the status bar. You should instantly see the statusbar pop up.
It doesn't always clear notifications though. I guess this is an android limitation with what gets sent to the accessibility api.
Hope that works for you.

Oh and if you're stock or stock rooted and you don't have accessibility settings within the Kindle's settings menu use KFHD Extended Settings to access it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124384

Thanks, I got it working. It wasn't worth it, though. Wasn't much of a functional improvement, didn't look that much better, and the old status bar would show up in flashes now and then.
Maybe the stock toolbar isn't that bad...

Yeah.. And even moving to /system/app doesn't make a difference unfortunately. At least when the stock toolbar says 10 notifications, its really 10 notifications. I'm confident some ROM will get something stable going though, just a matter of time.

Is there a way to change the icons that show in the status bar without having to switch to an entire other status bar? I'm referring to the parental controls, wifi and battery icons that appear in the top right corner. I'd like to customize those. Possible?
Every now and then I keep getting no response when trying to nagivate the screen as the HOME, BACK and BOOKMARK buttons are no longer on the screen leaving me to restart the kindle.
Anyone experience this and know how to fix?
Sorry, it's not the menu buttons its the option buttons that appear at the bottom.
The only bypass has been to install an app called fullscreen
I've heard that happening because Gmail was installed. Not sure though

No that's the notification bar gmail affects,
Did you freeze some stuff by chance? Try going into the kfhd 7 general thread that deals with the bottom bar they've made some modded ones, perhaps yours just got corrupted
