Thinking of porting Defualt Kindle Fire Launcher

Would anyone want this.? Seeing I could just have to figure out which .so files it uses and installing all other amazon apks

I think it would be worth a shot just to have it out there for an option to use .

The Kindle launcher is part of why I went with CM7. I just couldn't stand the "book shelf" interface. If you like it, awesome. I know lots of folks love the KF interface. I just am not one of them.

Do it! This is one of the reason's I only experiment with the kernel and not install CM on my Fire! Unlike the previous poster, I am comfortable with having a different interface from what I usually see on my phone and other tablet.

I just want to be able to use the lending library on other devices and roms such as CM7 and ICS.

Please do!

I really don't like the launcher but would love to use the prime lending library as well.

I have gotten this to work on CM7. It is buggy. Will be done with this within a week. I hope anyway

Heres my nonvote. I do not want the kindle launcher and i will not install or even go near a download link.
Id rather try to steal a front grill off the 1957 chevy down the road and then superglue it onto the front of ny kindle than get a launcher that lets me display my library like some bookworm addict.
Have fun dont bruise your page turning thumb.

I don't think anyone is saying they really like it. It's just a lot of the services depend on it. I really want all the prime services in a different ROM.

I'm interested in this. Keep up the great work and don't let the negativity bring you down!

I don't know if its just me, but I actually kinda like the stock launcher. Its not BAD, its just different. Are there some things I wish I could change? Sure. But there are things I wish I could change with my Sense UI also. I like the idea of being able to install the stock launcher on different ROM's.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App

for what I use it for, I am actually a fan of the stock UI. I think there are a lot I would change as well, but for now, if you get it ported over, things can be added ad removed to the interface as we see fit.

I reallllllly like the stock keyboard. that is the **** I have been looking for. I guess I found out when I flashed Biffys Blaze ROM

I agree, just do it and you'll see how many hits it gets.. I'll bet even the chevy grill guy will secretly try it ..

Adobe Flash Player...

I've read on a few forums about how Adobe Flash Player is no longer available on new Android devices and how it's been pulled from the Google Play Store.
In case anyone didn't realize this, I was able to install it on my Droid Razr M by going to "My Apps" in the Google Play Store and downloading it.
I guess if you've downloaded it in the past, it stays in your Google Play Account "My Apps" list.
People help me out so much on these forums, hope this helps someone else.

Just installed (; it actually works. Thank you!

Not supported by Jelly Bean, but when you get to JB there's an APK hanging around somewhere if you really need it.

Thanks...but I just figured it out. Chrome does not support flash....so I installed a different browser that does.
Thanks for the offer.

Mind if I ask which browser you went with?
I was trying out Opera for a while, maybe I should have given it more of a chance...
I don't like Chrome.

I used dolphin. I have it on my nook tablet and has a great interface.

Anyone tried Firefox for Android? How is it? Battery drain?

IMHO Opera Mobile is the best web browser out there!
Anyone mind sharing the apk for Flash Player with me? I did install it before on other devices but it now tells me the Razr I is not compatible.

I actually really like chrome and how it syncs quite well between multiple devices.

IMO I hated opera. Sometimes u have to refresh the feed in order to bring up a website that you click on.. that is the page will show up completely white for me. For example.. wiki answers. Always use that for help on homework topics but opera doesn't seem to load it while others do just fine.. got real annoying

I downloaded flash drive from Adobe's website and put it on my Razr M without any issue it works great.

You can find all of Adobe's FLASH Player builds here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_versions
Scroll down and you'll see every APK compiled for Android 4.x (and older versions too). I always prefer to pull APKs direct from the developer.

Adobe Flash is still in the google play store, I guess it's just hidden?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer

Why is that? Why don't they want us to use it?

Adobe officially stopped supporting Flash as of August 15th, and announced there would be no support for JB. The best referring article I could find is here:
http://www.redmondpie.com/long-live-flash-adobe-stops-supporting-flash-on-android-as-of-today/
I think the bottom line is that Adobe is focused development on HTML5. Older devices can still install Flash from the market, but nothing running ICS or JB.

Stock Kindle Apps

I LOVE my jelly bean Kindle but miss my stock Kindle reader a lot. I've searched and read a lot and find references focusing the stock launcher to load the stock reader but it doesn't work for me ("sorry, launcher has closed"). I've seen other references to 'dual booting' being the only solution (I don't think I miss it enough to boot every time I want to read - I do have a kindle keypad if I really need to get a fix .
[Q] Anyway, I just wanted to ask here whether anyone knows whether/how I can use the stock reader on my CM10 ROM.

Hi, obviously this post is looking kinda dead, but I am definitely interested if you've found something elsewhere? I am looking into rooting my girlfriend's kf for her but I am sure she wouldn't want to lose a major feature such as that. I know they are alternatives but like you said im sure it would be missed and a deal-breaker for her to flash a rom

Don't be worried about that! The google play kindle app is basically the same one you have with the stock rom!

So not! It is painful to lose the stock kindle reader (have u seen the ipad ad? Maybe the android app will get updated...)
Anyway, dual boot is the only way to have both. You will also lose video streaming.

I installed Flash and stream Amazon Video via the website. As for the stock reader versus the one the one from Google Play, I can hardly tell the difference.

The only difference it's the losing of the changing font feature.

Lagfix safe for KF1 ?

Hi all,
Just wondering if lagfix is safe to use on a KF1 running CM10.1/SG7
Thanks in advance.

If you do a clean wipe you shouldn't need a fix for lag. I experience zero lag on anything I do

Just saw that the Nexus 7 (and possibly the Nexus 7 2013) suffer from gradual slowdown. Lagfix (from the Play Store) was recommended for it.
I'd like to get one of these, but I don't really need it - I have my Kindle HD that I enjoy immensely - I don't have a fast enough 'net connection (DSL) to stream video and I don't play a lot of games. Darn, I hate being practical ...

If you're talking about the TRIMM support type of fix released just recently, I'm not sure if it works for the KF. There is a page on it in the portal and I'm waiting to see the update before I try it myself.

Has anyone tried it yet? I'm quite interested.

Greenify, works best for me to fix lag. Now, I can play GTA3 and MC4 without lag.

404 - so it's safe to run lagfix on a KF1 running CM10.1??

Well, I just checked on my KFHD, and the kernel does not support TRIMM, so it probably wouldn't work for the KF1 either. I'm not sure if Hashcode plans to add support in later versions, but it's something to look into.

A 3.4.xx kernel is likely needed for Trim support.

Hascode: kernel allowing full duplex audio

Hi. Sorry; it has been so long since I've been here, so I wonder:
A while back there was talk of the possibility of enabling full duplex audio with this TI chip if only a kernel was tweaked to do so. Full duplex audio would allow two way wifi calling apps such as groove ip to work with a google voice account. That has always been a cool hack for an unassumiing book reader. Just never quite got there. Just wondered if there was any development on that front or found to be impossible.

It was going to get moved or ignored if you left it in Development. And you should have PM Hashcode before posting thread.
