Has someone been able to activate multitasking on a rooted kindle fire hd?

I have been searching for about three days and all I could find was people saying that a new one cant. Without having to use a custom rom is it able to add multitasking that amazon removed back on a rooted kindle fire HD?

It depends on what you mean by "multitasking". If you are talking about the ability to switch between apps without losing everything...it already does that. Any time you move away from an app, it goes into suspend mode and is stored in cache. In suspend mode, the app is no longer running code, therefore there is no processing being done on it until it is called back again. It's not really "multitasking" in the truest sense but that's how ICS does it.
On the other hand, if you're talking about the "history" button, that brings up a list with screenshots of your recent apps in their suspended state...the 2G KFs do not have that feature.

HomeFlip is quite nice.

Use the kindleology Rom you just hold the home button down with it and it opens up recent apps

Xda app and another tapatalk based app for another forum are having force close issues on 2 different devices. My cappy running helly bean 20130426. The other is my htc incredible running cm7.2 . They are both running the most recent versions of the apps. It does happen more often on the HTC. Is it a known issue with the apps or could it be related more to the age of the devices? Any help is appreciated.

Go in settings -> Apps and clear their data.

Didn't work. I've removed and reinstalled even. Only happening the last two weeks.

try running a debugger or take a log cat after the fc and look for the nature of error. The fact that you are getting it on two different devices sounds like it is something particular to your assortment of apps and any optimizations that you may have running.
I have not had any issues with xda, although I did decide to manually force a close when opening page 1 of a 2000± page thread, Better Battery Stats. It was taking forever to load but it didn't fc on its own.

The cappy is exactly as it is when you install the ROM. I've done nothing but install a few apps and that's it. I have far fewer on it than the incredible.
On the incredible it runs as it does when it is installed as well. Only no gapps and a WiFi only script to kill the radio and some system apps that I deleted. I don't over clock or under volt or mess with any settings other than ones that could be adjusted on a stock unrooted device. It has far more FC's than the cappy.
Unfortunately this is where I show my ignorance. While I have learned loads here I do not know how to take a log cat. This is the first time I've had a problem with anything I've done that couldn't be fixed with a factory reset and redownload.
I rarely get a fc with xda its my other app that has the problem the most. Its motorcycle.com free. Its daily sometimes multiple times and hour sometime in the same 5 minute period. Though I do notice it more with threads that have a lot of pics on them.

Actually appears to have stopped. I downloaded adblocker plus last night and have had a single FC close with the cappy. Don't recall having had one with the dinc either but I'll have to use that more later. It was dying. I'll report back with that later.

Are you using a case with a magnet in it to put it to sleep and wake it? If so, try removing the case and see what happens.

Was it doing it on stock? Since you say it does it on CM10.2 too, it makes me think a hardware issue.

I reverted back to stock and it started to happen. i then erased and deregistered within the nook UI and started fresh. it does not happen before i login with my gmail. at the choose language screen, i can sleep and wake with no issues. once i log in with my google login it starts to happen.
does this mean my user partition is crap? is there a way to reformat or partition everything?
thanks!

[Q] Apps uninstalling on own?

My wife just told me that her Nook HD+ is uninstalling apps on it's own. Have any of you heard of this happening before on Nook HD+? It stays on her Android phone but is removed from the tablet.
I haven't seen this happen but just asking because the wife is pissed at me for this happening on something I modded for her. LOL

So you are not really having to re-install the apps, just put the icons back on the home screen?
Why don't you try a third party launcher and see if the disappearing icons quit disappearing.

Various apps. Wife hasn't been able to remember the names but the types were flashcards app (like the 3x5 cards we used in school), scientific calculator, biology and a game.

I was just wondering if they were apps she got at the Amazon app store. Sometimes those get flacky if they can't verify that the app store is installed and running.

You could try scanning the ALL tab under My Apps on the Play Store - that shows all the apps you've ever installed on any device registered against your Google account. That might jog her memory. If they're not listed there then maybe, as leapinlar suggested, they came from the Amazon app store and have fallen prey to the flakiness he's observed.
(Backup tools like Titanium Backup can be set to do regular app backups which could provide a useful recovery point in cases like this. Not so useful if the user can't remember what the apps were called, though...)

Maybe she downloaded apps from play store, then removed hers Google account, so all apps associated got Uninstalled.

If its using cm11 there was a bug where app icons would disappear from the launcher after app updates.
Apps uninstalling themselves though... Besides user error or bad judgement I can think of many possible scenarios where apps could be removed/disappear.
I wonder too if google's new app checker service improvement could remove them if it didn't like them. Perhaps even being triggered during an automatic update.
[Ah yes, there is what I was looking for: "Google Play scans apps that are uploaded for malware. If an app is later discovered to be malicious, Google can automatically remove it from the devices it’s been installed on." -> http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/cracked-android-apps-and-games-read-this-before-downloading/
And that is only one way it can happen.]

My Note 3 random reboots

It started yesterday. The biggest changes I can think of are
1. adding Gear Manager and connecting Gear 2 Neo to it which happened one week ago. No issues till now
2. putting in and taking out a microSD card. Shortly after this action, the random reboots started. I don't think I messed up the related hardware. I did it carefully, not forcing anything. I even shut down the device and popping the battery before inserting and removing the microSD.
I'm scratching my head what could have triggered the random reboots. I have shut down Bluetooth to trouble-shoot what is causing the random reboots. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks

What firmware are you on? Are you rooted? Have you tried another sd card? Maybe try a factory reset

My Note 3 isn't rooted. It's running stock KitKat. It doesn't have a microSD. I put one in to copy files and took it out right away. I don't know if it was a coincident. The reboots started shortly after I put in and took out the microSD. I think it's more a coincident because I was super careful with the microSD slot.
I just did a reset. I'll observe if reboots happen again.

I know it sounds crazy but try going into Settings>Wifi>Advanced and unchecking "Always Allow Scanning". Once I used a SD in it and have that checked my phone randomly reboots no matter what ROM or MODs I use and I have met other people on here that have had the same issue and unchecking that setting fixed it. Something about the way some SD cards work and that setting not playing nice with each other. Hope this helps you, I know it nearly drove me mad until someone suggested I try unchecking it.

I did a reset and restored my all apps backed up by Helium. I got random reboots still. But may be because I also restored Gear Manager and its associated plugins and apps, I was still getting random reboots. I have reset again and restored all my apps without the Gear Manager etc. So far it's been 20 hours, no random reboots. I'll observe some more. I just have the feeling Gear Manager etc have something to do with the reboots.
@zacharyt86: I'll remember your tip too. Thanks

My N3 used to do that a lot so i rooted the phone and now i have no issues. I did have issues with some roms and when i was using a rom slot on ss but no issues on the stock slot.
Im on JB though but my note had the same issue. I think its a memory issue... I was also using a cache cleaner then that i just havent used since i changed roms

Ya think it just could be one if those weird things I see others having issues that I'm not having if it keeps doing it I would call Samsung or take it back to att

It's been 60+ hours. No reboots. I'm inclining to conclude it's Gear Manager and its associated plugins and apps that caused the reboots. I'll install Gear Manager again, not install any Gear app, just connect phone calling and default notifications, i.e.all default stuff. Will report back.
