Normal? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my kf this morning and installed market and gapps. When I now turn on my kf it starts with the yellow triange with the black flme in it. Then it boots up just fine. That normal? I used natemils YouTube videos.
Also I am trying to get my Gmail and calendar to sync. Any help would be great

The yellow triangle is a modified boot loader. You can read more about it here:

Whew lol. So now I have my calendars synced up. Last time I rooted my kf all my apps from my aneroid phone loaded themselves onto my kf. It didn't do it this time. I cant get gmail to sync unless I hit refresh. Did I miss something?

Check your refresh settings in Gmail.

I have tried everything. I know I installed the Googleframwork Apk. There has to be a step I missed.

This may be a stupid question but...In settings, under Accounts & Sync, is sync enabled?
[Edit:] Also, are you using Gmail or the email client?

I don't have those.options. I have under settings (in Gmail email app) general preferences, my email address and add an accou.t. I don't have the settings like I do on my phone. I am using the gmail app.

Check settings outside the app. The accounts list should contain Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc... if you use those.

No I dont have any of those. I'm running stock rooted. I installed the android market. I did this before and it all synced up well. Went back to stock for a few months and realized I would rather be rooted so I can use my calendar and gmail apps.
Should I reset and start over again?

I say if your running stock rooted try reinstalling gmail and google apps except for the frameworks if that doesn't work I'dstick to the built-in email app

Gmail issues

Just wondering if anyone has been or is having issues with their Gmail accounts? Whenever I use my gmail app, I always have to refresh a few times and then it displays any new mail. Nothing ever comes in by itself. Now my 'synced' account through the HTC mail phone accounts does show up immediate emails.
So I am guessing a problem with the new Gmail app? Should I delete the app and reinstall? Thanks,

Which version of gmail are you using currently?
It's probably your settings. But i'm not sure what you want. Are you saying you don't want your emails immediately or you do?
If you aren't getting them immediately then do you have Background Data and Auto Sync checked? As well as when do you have it set to sync?
2.3.5 version
I am want my emails to automatically sync! There should be no reason that I have to manually refresh my emails every time I log in. I am fully snyced on both of my gmail accounts (bus and personal) so not sure whats up? I just redid some of my sync settings so hopefully that will work.

If that doesn't work you could delete gmail app and search for gmail 2.3.4.1 online. Get the apk and install. Make sure updates are unchecked in market afterwards.

[Q] GMAIL delete?

So, I use the "EMAIL" app to handle both my work exchange and gmail account. I like that it's combined. Can I delete the GMAIL app on the phone but still have it sync the gmail information (contacts, calendar) via the accounts menu? I'm trying to avoid having the gmail sync in two separate places.
Settings/accounts/gmail, uncheck gmail. Not sure if you have tried that already or not.

I thought about that but I was worried it not syncing the "EMAIL" box. I suppose it shouldn't affect it, as there are separate gmail sync settings in that menu. I'll try that.

facebook 1.9.1 and contacts sync

I understood that the new facebook 1.9.1 would sync contacts with ICS but I do not have this option in my GNex with stock 4.0.4.
Anyone else?

It doesn't sync at this time. It shows as an account you can sync, but falls to sync when you tell it to. Google blocks Facebook from sync at this time. Read the other thread about this same topic that was posted yesterday.

well my problem is that I don't even have the option to sync in the accounts manager 9see attached screenshot)
can you pls point me to the thread?
You should keep in mind that facebook copies all of your contact data onto their servers.
This really upset me when I found out about it, so I deleted the facebook app from my devices.

[Q] How to turn off Facebook photo sync in the stock gallery?

I have tried turning off Facebook syncing in the account settings and also cleared the data in the gallery app. Yet it still syncs up all my Facebook photos. I despise this feature.
Does anybody know a way to permanently disable it?

Had that issues too but the best way is to uninstall FB app then reinstall it but this time right after the log in screen, uncheck sync galary. That solved it for me. it's pretty painless.

Haxsync in the app store will do it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Any other suggestions? I will try it out tonight.

You could try adding the fb account under settings. Or delete the account from your phone and add it again.
