Hey i was wondering if anyone experiences this.
Happens a lot more from dialer and sms.
When i am going through sms, typing one, dialing a phone number or going through recent calls, half if the time my phone acts like if i pressed the home button. It can get oh so frustrating! Sometimes i wanna call someone and it can take a good 40-50 seconds before i cam succesfully input the number without getting booted back to homescreen. Tested various roms and still happens so i dont think its rom specific. Runnimg jetpack and semaphore just so u know.
Thanks

Do you use touchwiz or a custom launcher?
Try an other launcher from the market and see if it's still there.
Did you do a factory reset before installing other roms? Maybe something from an old rom is interfering with the new one... or you have a hardware problem with your home button.

Hello, i was wondering if you can help me.
sorry for the newbie questions, but i am new to rooting, flashing etc.... and i have occurred a problem with WIUI 2.5.25 Stable (GB).
I have installed this ROM, everything is working smooth, but i cannot install anything from the market, well, actually i can, but when it finishes, the application Launcher gives an error, which then will ask if i want to force close or report. If i choose force close, it continues to display that message again and again until i uninstall the app.
This happens with every app, i have also tried compatibility mode on/off, doesn't resolve anything. Also tried the Apexl auncher addon .... again same problem.
One more question, is there no app drawer in this ROM ? and if there is one, how can i access it ? i have seen app drawer options in the control panel, but i really cant see how to open it.
Thank you in advance,
Cheers.

yes i have wiped 3 times before flashing this rom....
Good to know that there is no app drawer, i was confused by the option in the control panel .
thanks.
note: it did not work with re-flashing the same ROM ...
but after flashing another ROM and re-flashing this one it finally works, don't really know what was the problem, but now is working good, as much as i had the time to test some of the features.
Thank you again.
so, i have been using the ROM for 1 day so far, everything is working OK for the moment, but can't really resolve one issue :
How do i keep the touch key's light on 100uA ? i added the app for touch key lights, but when the phone goes to sleep, it restores to 2000 uA. Also i had disabled the pulse notifications but sadly it still doesn't work.
is there any setting where i can dim the brightness of touch keys to be permanent ?
Search for lg optimus 2x touch key lights in google play even if it sleeps the settings still applied

I said in the previous post that i have installed that app, but it doesn't stay applied. First i thought it's because of pulse notifications, but even with those disabled, when the phone goes to sleep, when i wake it up the keys light up with maximum brightness.

Good afternoon to you all here at XDA,
Until recent I have had no problems with any on my devices when it comes to exploiting and unlocking them but today I started to play around with my girlfriends KFHD and have now run into a few snags.
For now I would like to focus on the Home key function.
I have just installed ADW Launcher EX and after setting it all up, discovered that the home key just takes me back to the stock Kindle Home screen. Is there anyway in which I can set my home key to be default to ADW rather than stock so it will load my ADW's default screen?
Side note: I know you can use Go Launcher EX which I use with my phone but I don't fancy messing around, adding this app to the system folders and the device has a locked bootloader and not mine.
Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks for your time,
Madrox.
I believe the device needs to be rooted. So you can convert the launchers apk file to a system app.
Once it's a system app, you can set it as the default launcher and the home button will work like you want it to.

Thanks for that,
The device is rooted and everything is unlocked and ready to go apart from the Bootloader.
I have seen the /system/app approach but do not want to try it as I cant find out if it is safe on 7.2.2. I've only seen this done on earlier versions and as said device is not mine and I have no Factory Cable, I won't be trying that just yet.
ADW launche r and 7.2.2

I just set ADW Launcher as systam App with 7.2.2. I had to : as user app it wasn't working at all, All seems to be all right with my tablet. Only, I can' t use widgets and wallpapers - don't know why - while with 7.1.2 they worked perfectly.
Hope to be of some reassurance for you
Tested with GO Launcher EX 3.13 after reading other posts. After messing around half the day with other things, I never actually noticed this post was similar to another about Launchers so this is now a closed matter.
Like nova launcher

Has anyone on the KF2 rooted had their statusbar flicker or would know the cause of or solution to the issue?
It just turns off then on, seemingly random. My turning on I mean it appears, the icons adjust to match, then it disappears about one second later, and when I try to swipe down on it, I can't get anything to happen.
Installed new status bars (non root ones) and it replaced the bar that flashes...but the same issue.
This happened after a boot from using KindleFree. I used most of the tools on it, if you want to know I can list them. The only thing that I can POSSIBLY imagine went wrong would be when I tried to see how it would handle the setting a laucnher. So I got nova, rebooted, didn't like nova, set apex as default by pressing home, and that was that. I can't find nova in my ROM toolbox list of apps so I'm not sure how KindleFree installed it, and I'm not sure if that even caused the issue.
Any ideas?
I planned to just reset, re-root and start from clean when I get home but I'm at work for the next 7 hours and I'd like my statusbar back haha.
Well, some update I suppose.
TabletBar Hider does something. When I open the app and press restore, it makes the statusbar flash and appear for a bit. It's the ONLY thing that seems to have a direct effect on when it seems to appear. I tried using apps that make the notification area appear, and those did not work.
My best guess is something is forcing it to close....but I'm not sure what, or why.
Suggestions?
Well.....I've fixed it.
I wanted the Chameleon launcher so I changed my build.prop so the market would think I have a Nexus 7. No, this did not work for the market (I think I need to clear the cache) but, my status bar works! No idea what happened folks but.....there you go?
This thread can be locked or removed or whatnot. Since I really have no useful insight as to what broke or fixed it.
Signs point to installing Nova with KindleFree broke it, and that changing my build prop from a blaze tablet to a nexus 7, fixed it.
It makes no sense to me either, but that's what happened! Oh well, at least it works now. Happy modding and New Years all!

Have you installed Gmail by any chance?
I don't have the kindle fire 2, I have the hd, but for me gmail is the usual culprit for that like mentioned earlier. Other apps have caused it though. Usually going through and opening all the apps you used before it happens will clear that up. I do believe it's some sort of issue with notifications.

How did I not find that thread? Thanks! It could have been. From my thread, you can see my fix didn't seem related to me, BUT, yes, I did install gmail using KindleFree so that may have spawned some issues. However, I have used gmail since, and no issues. I'm not really sure what changing the build.prop does beyond supposedly trick the market, which didn't work for me. Thank you though! Hopefully we get to the root of what exactly this is! Two issues so far, both fixed in different ways. If it happens again I will try your fix and if that works then it's for certain gmail and hopefully we can help future issue finders!
I'm rather curious of getting market to believe the kindle is another device... it would be nice to not sideload so many apps
If you have success with this please post back with your build prop edits

Hey guys,
So I've tried everything I can think of, but my google voice typing icon does nothing when I touch it. If I hold it down, it still brings up settings, but just stays inactive when I touch it. I was able to use it after I first flashed the captivating rom, in fact I mistakenly made it my default keyboard somehow.... and once I figured out how to turn it off of default (reset the phone to apply settings) for some reason it stopped working. Not sure if there's any more options short of backing up and re-flashing.
I'm still using the same captivating rom, with unofficial semaphore kernel.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Which version of the ROM are you running? I'm currently running X6 and I've had some other odd keyboard issues. Have you tried resetting the default keyboard? (I know you took off the other one from default but what did you set as the default after)
I have tried both xperia keyboard and the android keyboard as default. Neither work
X6 here too
I'll try to download the google voice app later when I get home from work. If any one else has had any keyboard issues your input would also be appreciated .
Yeah I downloaded Google voice a couple hours ago, hoping it could fix it. Are they actually related though?
It's odd because it's only the keyboard icon that won't access google voice typing... I can do voice search etc.
Odd, I'll try this as well once I get home. Just to note, I DID NOT flash X6 from a clean install. I "dirty" flashed it over X5. Not sure if you did as well (It wouldn't come as a surprise if this was the cause of some of these issues, if you did this as well).
Actually I did flash from stock.

X7 is posted now and I've heard it fixes some of the keyboard issues. Hope it helps.
