Is it possible to get the tube tv effect when I put my screen to sleep on the stock rom?
??
Its called crt animation and not on stock roms! Im sure in time there will be a custom rom that will contain that soon

Try this
There's an app that I used on my TF101. It is a shortcut that locks your screen with a variety of effects:
Screen off and lock
It's free in the Play Store. No root required.
I dont want a custom rom on this phone.

What are you talking about? Did you even try to install the app that I linked to?
Lol
my bad, I meant to reply to tyshemi, not you. I did install that app. It does not work with the power button, and the animation is not as nice..=
The CRT off animation doesn't play well with JB from what I've seen a couple devs say, which is why it isn't even on the custom ROMs, so chances of getting it on a regular phone are slim and none I'd say.

I never said it worked with the power button. It's an icon you can tap; might actually be nicer. But I'm sorry to hear that you don't like it as much!

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the tv static plus crt close.
I have the off button on my screen now. For when I actually remember to use it, vs muscle memory of hitting the physical button.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

No problem! Just a word of caution - When I use this in combination with WidgetLocker the unlock doesn't work. I had to turn the screen off with the power button then it worked again. Most likely caused by the way that WidgetLocker is an app and not a system function.
Has anyone gotten spotify to work? I've tried the official apk and it displays sideways and only on part of the screen, and I've also tried KFSpotifyAndroid.apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417863 which displays properly but when you login the app immediately closes.

have you tried something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate to force the original app to rotate?
I'll give that a try this afternoon when I get home. Alternatively would anyone know where to find an apk for the official kindle fire version of spotify?

That did work to fix the orientation but the app is not responding to any key presses on the fire tv remote. I'm going to give a keyboard a try.

Ok, so using the official android apk from the spotify website, ultimate rotation control and my Adesso wireless keyboard with touchpad (WKB-4000US) spotify is working
Thanks for the advice on the rotation app.

You might try the Kindle tablet version of Spotify and let us know how it works. A working version of Spotify is the only thing holding me back from getting one of these things.

Well it is working for me with just a couple caveats. I have to use another app to fix the orientation and I have to use a keyboard/mouse to navigate, which isn't that big of an issue for me since it's nice to be able to type in my search queries easily.
And I believe in post #4 screwyluie linked me to the kindle fire apk. I tried that out and it still had the orientation issue so I just went with the official apk from spotify.
I decompiled the Spotify APK (latest version from my S4) and removed any android:screenOrientation="portrait" attributes from the AndroidManifest.xml file. It now shows up in the correct orientation for me. I used an attached keyboard/mouse to login, but after that I've just been using the Amazon remote to click through things on my playlists (on some of the screens, it helps to push the the left before scrolling up or down). If you hit the search box, the on screen keyboard shows up... so while it's not perfect, I think you can get by with the standard remote.
I've posted a build here if you want to try it:
httttp://d-h.st/Lel
Gave it a try but it's not letting me input text at all.

I have Cablevision/Optimum and they claim that you can watch programs and manage your DVR from the Optimum app. But I have repeatedly tried to get it working and it just force closes every time. I've tried on different ROMs, on Wifi, on Mobile. Nothing works.
Anyone ever got it working?

you must have xposed , its an old bug in xposed that prevents optimum from working. UNinstall xposed and it will fire right up

That's too bad. I'm using a ROM that I think has Xposed as part of the ROM, so it doesn't let me uninstall it. I would really love to get the optimum app working though. Maybe i'll back this ROM up and test it on my stock ROM I have saved.
EDIT: Dude, I've searched google for a long time trying to find a solution, and nothing. But thanks to you, I finally know what the issue is. The only problem now is, I don't really want to choose between Xposed, which I love, and Optimum, which I kinda really need.
another solution

just get into the xposed app and choose uninstall xposed from the xposed interface itself. then test and see if that lets optimum work
So it's Xposed causing the problem. I wondered why it works on my Note 10.1 and Nexus 7 but my Note 3 just keeps trying to load it. I can live with that. My Note 10 is much better suited for it anyway.

Xposed developer posted a fix for optimum, which would start the app, to control your dvr and such, but it didn't fix the live tv steam for me. Go to xposed and make sure you are up to date on the frame work and search IrdetoFix [1.0]. let us know if you can stream tv with it.
Do you guys have the problem with an error and flashing of the screen / stealing focus from other apps every second?

My wife is sick of her Moto G (2013) and want to make her transition to Fire Phone as easy as possible. I think with the camera not working great on Cyanogen, we are stuck on FireOS. I know I can get Google Services and what not on the phone and change the launcher but I haven't seen anything about enabling soft keys. Is this possible? Thanks

Tried fire os for about a day--not for me. I think the camera has gotten better in low light (not as much over exposure) but if your going with stock you could use a launcher. Im not aware of any option to add soft keys. Could be wrong though...

There are several soft key apps that you can get from Google Play, that are compatible the Fire Phone. A few that works with the phone are Pie Control, Back Button, and Simple Control. I use Simple Control.

I am wondering if anyone can get rid of the "HDMI Detection" for the Spectrum/ Charter Cable App from PlayStore. I'd like to use it on my Firetv box so that my kids can watch cable in their room since I can't afford to pay for another cable box.. I would greatly appreciate the help.

Bet you'll be heavily contributing to the FTV(S) sceen. Welcome aboard.
After your done playing with the Spectrum App. If you get bored or have some time. Maybe you can take a look at the ATT UVerse apps (FireTV & PlayStore) to see if they can be modded. Specially to bypass the root check.
I can quickly test any mod you send/post. PM me any time.
Here are some mods that might help on Spectrum & other apps too:

Thank you my friend! With TWC switching to Spectrum, am losing channels left and right, and now a set top box is needed on every TV.. No thanks, I was happy with my 2-71 channels with just a direct cable, so the FireStick was something I wanted anyway, so I decided to pull the trigger on it, to quickly find out the app is supported :silly::laugh:
Hopefully myself or someone else can get this sorted out as it's a great MOD that was created and I hope I can revive it. There is so much info though, and just making the ones today took hours, but the confusion is that I am making literally the same edits as the app that is linked here into the new app but yet it just isn't taking, so maybe some new checks are in place, but I couldn't find them. But with a device for myself to test will save some good time, and it's always a good learning experience.
I know how it goes. To me the process or learning experience can be even more fun or rewarding then even a positive outcome. Gotta enjoy the road. Not just the destination. I've been in the FTV(S) sceen for over two years. And it's been a blast. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. As much fun as it's been. This relatively cheap devices really solved a ton of content access problems too.
