Hi, I'm new to the forum, and I need some help.
Due to the Kindle fire update, my wallpapers for my launcher (Apex) seemed to have broke. I keep getting a black background. I've tried to use other launchers such as Nova but I get the same result. Does anyone know how to fix this? All help would be appreciated
BUMP. Having same issue. Background stays black and I've tried to change it but it stays the same

Sounds like you lost your wall paper chooser apk.
Try using kindlefree to reinstall or reinstall the way you did originally

Yeah amazon removed that "feature" because they want to force you to use the amazon launcher. I`ve tried many things but i didn`t find a solution yet.

It works, but for now I left the script so it gives more output if you have an error. So far the only problems people have had were related to their own java paths not being set right, still not sure why that was but it wasn't related to my script. If such an occurrence happens it will just push the original unmodded framework back onto the device and make a backup still, in which case you would have to choose the restore option before trying again. I may add a preventative measure so it will just error out if the class paths are incorrect, but I have to get the exit error code from someone with the problem.

Just applied the fix bu Stunts, worked a treat :good: I have to put the path in though for Java as it failed the first time saying java could not be found, even though I knew it was installed on my PC.. Thanks again Stunts513, your the fella
I used a widget to do this, it's a lot less of a hassle. Desktop VisualiZer, you can set it as large as you want it and place things over the top of it. It works exactly like a wallpaper, but it's just a widget. You need a launcher that lets you stack things on top of each other like Nova. Plus it wont break with every patch.
Here is my kindle now:

Not really a "how to"...
The UI is just a launcher app that can be installed on any aneroid, you would just have to figure out what dependents are required.

there is good news and bad news:
I'll start with the bad one - not really possible, as it is not just a simple app, it's more like a framework, and devs need to work too much for this to be possible, if this is ever possible
The good news - you can download the kindle apps from amazon, and use them one by one, like Kindle for Android, Amazon Mp3, etc. :good:

Aw man i figured there was more too it since the launcher app would simply force close every time. Yea i know i can do those but i liked the kindle app better on the stock kindle rom. Guess ill have to chose :/ thanks though at least i got my sure answer

I rooted my 7" Kindle fire HD shortly after getting it. To my surprise there was an automated program that did it for me so I didn't have to learn a whole lot. That was ~ 5 months ago. The big thing was to add the play store and a custom launcher which I did (apex launcher in case it matters).
Yesterday the only launcher available to me was the kindle launcher. I thought perhaps an update went wrong so I uninstalled and reinstalled the apex launcher via the play store. The launcher works, but I have to access it by going to the play store and clicking "open" on the app page (where you could install/uninstall the app). I searched how to install a launcher since I remembered taking different step other than just installing from the play store. The article mentioned going to app/data and when I do it says i no longer have root access.
I tried running the root program and I got a access denied message and root failed try again.
My question ends up being did I actually loose root access or is it something else? All I really need is to have the home button take me to the apex launcher and I wouldn't know anything had changed.
Use this to see if you have root.

If so, what version of the software are you running? Sure sounds like you got updated.

Sorry, no root access....
Software version 7.2.3 . I had thought about an update as well, but I didn't find anything about a recent update. I didn't think 7.2.3 or any of the released updates messed with root access.
Sorry. I just realized you have the HD. This is the forum for the KF2 non HD.
I'm sure you'll get more help in the right section.

Thanks for pointing that out, I will repost in the correct place.
:cyclops:After a long time keeping you guys waiting, (sorry):cyclops:
I HAVE A RELEASE!!!
Special thanks to Gabrial Destruir for the Nooter Project. It is amazing and none of this would be possible without it. My intention with this is not to rival Touchnooter. My intention is simply to make it better.
Without further delay, my mod:
My mod is aimed at providing a smooth NST experience with minimal bloat. It is a customized version of Touchnooter and is installed the same way. I have removed many things from Touchnooter that just seem to cause problems, and I have added things to this that I think would work better on the Nook Touch than things that are in Touchnooter. But, It is just a pre-alpha, as I have lost my NST and am unable to test this out myself, so I don't know what this is going to be like. It will probably be buggy. That's why i need you guys here at the forum to test this out.
PLEASE NOTE: I have lost my nook, so I don't know if it works. My intention is for you guys at the forum to test it out and tell me.
In future releases i will include a changelog. I did not here, as It is the first release and I want to see what you think of it before I make more changes to it.
Download: It's in my Dropbox,

You could have then said that in the original post that it was for a regular Nook Simple Touch without the glowlight.
If it is based off TouchNooter, then can you say what you changed and added and took away? I have used TouchNooter and it is running perfectly fine and it doesn't seem to slow down my nook touch at all.
Is it for nook touch 1.1 or 1.2.1 too?
I have no Nook to test this. Thought I might just point that out.
Changes to Touchnooter:
Added Smart Launcher
Removed ADW
Removed the annoying help widget.
Removed Android Market.
Removed YouTube
I added some other stuff but I had to hard reset my laptop the other day, and I lost my changes list. I am looking for them now.

Read the 1st post. It says that I don't test it. My NST has disappeared. This is a work in progress. Believe me, I would love to test this, but again, I have no nook at the moment to test it on, I am going to look into getting a new one just for this, then I will test it.
Edit:
Found Nook, but it's bricked >_< (Not from this, from nook manager) I'll have to take a look at it.
Anyway, does this run well?

This project is over as of now. I no longer have the device and have more important things to sorry about than custom Roms for a device without a color screen.
So i just found my old kindle charged it up and factory restored it. But now it doesn't want to do anything it won't download apps and is just acting weird. I think at one point i tried to root it using some app called king root. I'm not sure if that's what is causing issues now or what but i was wondering if there was a way to fix it. I realize its a bit outdated but i paid like 300 for it i would like to use it for something. Any help would be greatly appreciated [emoji16]
