First of all, you don't need root to use transparent widgets or change your lockscreen. There's a thread full of transparent widgets here on xda. You do need root to use transparent versions of system apps. You can change your lockscreen by purchasing the app Widgetlocker or flashing a custom rom that comes with a different lockscreen. The lockscreens you generally see in screenshots are from WidgetLocker, though. It's a great app & fully customizable... more than worth the $3.
Before changing any system settings, you'll need to do a nandroid backup via your recovery. This way, if you change anything and it screws up, you can restore from a working backup. You can also use Titanium Backup to backup your apps & data.
But really, the first thing you need to do is read. Read all of the stickies in your device-specific forums. Read everything you can until you understand, if you don't you could end up doing damage to your phone.
Oh, and you may need to install busybox to get some root apps to work. You can acquire it through the busybox installer in the market, or Titanium Backup. In TB, hit menu, choose "problems?" then choose to install busybox.

It is not safe to move everything to your sd card. Widgets, launchers, and a lot of system apps are not okay to move. Don't move any kind of alarm either. Third party apps that aren't what I already mentioned should be fine to move. System apps that need to run constantly are not okay. If you don't know what it is, don't move it. Stuff like the calculator would be fine. The phone app wouldn't. Plus, and I could be wrong, but moving system apps does not give more room for third party apps, but gives more space to the system partition. I could be way off, so you may want to look into that.

Hmmmph, well it worked fine for me before I was rooted. I installed modded apks all the time, just not of system apps. It may have helped to uninstall first then install the new app. Since what makes the widget transparent is stored in a res/drawable folder in the apk, it could've been the apk that you downloaded. Or I guess it could've been the method of installation. As I said, worked fine for me.

You should be fine moving third party apps as long as they don't have widgets that you use. If you're using a third party launcher like ADW or LauncherPro, don't move that. Other than that you should be okay.
If you're having a hard time downloading apps from the market, try going into settings, applications, manage applications, then choose the "all" tab. Find the market app and force stop it. Then clear cache & clear data, then relaunch the app. That should help. If not, you can try using AppBrain along with Fast Web Installer to download apps from the market. I've found this method to actually be faster for me. If you can't get to the market to download the apps, let me know & I'll post the apks for you. Once you've downloaded the Fast Web Installer, you need to open it & follow the instructions to allow it to install apps for you.
Flashing a custom rom might fix your problems as well.
Oh, and no worries, I'm always happy to help out. This community has done great things for me - I try to give back when I can

i say that i will root it after several months first because i want to search more about rooting.. ehhehe..
i really want to say THANK YOU to you..

I have already rooted after reading everything I can find.

install only Market app after CyanogenMod-6 rom

Is it possible to just extract and install Only the Google Market app from the gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed zip file. It does not seem likely to work but I thought I would ask anyway.
It is a real bummer trying to buy apps from developers when you have no access to the apk files. Not to mention the apps I already purchased and now I have to figure out how to contact the dev and get a copy. Should have backed up my individual apps, lesson learned.
Yea I just tried installing Vending.apk and MarketUpdate and they do not work. The market app shows up but fails to launch. This is a serious flaw with this rom unless I am missing something. How is every one putting apps on their phone? For example Evernote or any of the other apps that are only accessible via the market?

I removed the apps I didn't want from the zip and then installed via clockwork.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Thanks for the reply and it was a good idea, unfortunately it did not work for me. I have no idea why. I finally resorted to installing the whole gapps package and that worked. It would be nice to get this figured out.
When I removed various apps from the zip and re-zipped the recovery did not seem to want to install it properly. As a test to see if it was installing I added maps in addition to the market and niether were installed on reboot. I may reflash and try again, It bothers me to have those extra apps hanging around. I think it may be important to have the firstrun stuff (OnetimeInitilizer) on there but I am not sure.
Any more ideas?

Install the gapps package, then remove the apps you don't want via adb. After removing them, clear dalvik cache and that will remove the dex files no longer in use and free up the space.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735255 explains how to remove with adb, if you need the info.
ahh yes, that method works good thanks. I quess wiping the dalvik cache takes the place of the "pm uninstall *.apk /data/system/packages.xml" on 2.2 devices.

Backup/Titanium backup pro

I've got a question regarding titanium backup.
I've installed the ARHD 3.6.0 ROM. Installed all my apps, setup my desktop screen exactly how I want it & finally FROZE via titanium backup pro, all the applications I don't want showing in my drawer.
Can anyone give me a dummies guide on how to make a carbon copy of my exact setup please? So that when I install a new update like 3.6.1, I can just run that backup file and it will freeze all my unwanted applications & set my desktop back to how it was..
Do I need to buy a different piece of software to achieve this?
Thank you

Hi,
You just want to be able to port all your settings from one ROM to another.
It all depends on the "base" of the new ROM.
If it's the SAME "base" then you can just wipe your cache partition and dalvik,install the ROM and keep all your settings intact.
If it's a DIFFERENT "base",then there is no way of porting your settings.If you did,it would cause conflicts down the road.
With a different based ROM you can carry across your app DATA using Titanium Backup.
What you cannot do ,is carry across "system data". Again this will create conflicts after a while.Even with a same based ROM.
What you have done with your freezing and everything ,is change system data.This cannot be ported between ROMS.Sorry.
Hope all that makes sense.
Thanks for your response.
I find this incredibly hard to believe.. Im not saying what you are saying isnt true. But surely to god there must be some sort of backup software that can see that I've frozen things like "Dock Mode" & "Downloads" create an image of the files I've frozen, once I then install an update to my ROM I select that backup to run and & goes through & freezes the things I had frozen before...
Im freezing things out of my App drawer, so I dont have hundreds of icons in there... Im not freezing any system files or anything like that...
Its literally things like:
Adobe Reader
Connected Media
Dock Mode
Downloads
Flashlight
FM Radio
Friend Stream
Google Search
HTB HUB
HTC Likes...
etc etc. Just things that create icons with my app drawer that I'll never use.
Thanks
You can save desktop settings and data from apps when switching roms. You would have to freeze those apps again on a clean install of a new rom. Its the best and cleanest way possible to ensure the installation is running at its peak. Just freeze the apps you don't want again. I haven't tried an app that remembers and backs up frozen apps.
I think it will be easier if I get the Package Names of all the Apps I wanna freeze then everytime I install a new ROM, just 'pm disable' the list of package names via the terminal emulator.

Hi,
I know what you are saying.
You just want to get from one ROM to the next with the minimum of faffing around.
Like I said ,going to a new ROM with the same base is easy.
Otherwise it's a COMPLETE re-installation.
On another note ,if you look on mike's [OP] just above the changelog section,there is a thing called "ROM CLEANER"
I have not used this,but I believe you can remove any apk or app you do not want to use ,BEFORE the installation.

that is what I want exactly. Titanium should remember what has been frozen and freeze them next time when I flashed a new ROM.
Any other tools can do this?

In the premium version there is a setting that says Auto-Sync TB settings. Tick this. Then follow this guide and you will Freeze all the apps you had no matter how many Roms you change.

For what you want a nandroid backup is much easier. Just go to recovery and make a backup. If you want to restore just superwipe and restore the backup from recovery again, and everything will be exactly in the state as when you made the backup.

[Q] Launcher Problems

I would like to start by saying this is entirely my fault but I would be very grateful for any help.
So, I downloaded a custom launcher called touchwiz 4.5 onto my phone and everything was working perfectly until I decided to open up root explorer and try to change the name so it would run in the background instead of TW3. So I did it but when I pressed home it asked me which launcher to use and I selected the wrong one and the set as default was checked. Now, I am stuck without a launcher so I can not open anything at all to fix the problem.
I will be extremely happy if I do not need to buy a new phone and thank anyone in advance.

Left Soft Key -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Find & select the TW4.5 launcher or whatever in the list -> scroll down to Launch by default -> Clear defaults.
Thanks, but there is one thing I forgot to mention earlier. I cannot access the main screen because I receive force close messages while the phone is on, and there is no delay between them so I cannot even use it. I was thinking maybe there is a way through the computer.

You have a root so you gave cwm recovery, correct?

Look up Odin in the Bible. You can use it to restore the phone. If you can make a backup of your micro SD onto a computer. Other than that if you deleted your launcher your phones gonna keep FCing on you. Cool thing to try to delete though.
ADB Push the apk(s) back over?
Your best bet would be to just go into CWM, create a NAND backup, Odin a new ROM, and advanced restore your NAND's data. That should clear up everything.
Using ADB is not that easy, especially when you're new to all this stuff.
Everyone should be forced to learn.basic adb commands before being able to root their phones for problems just like this.

Market related question

Hello peeps,
Wanted to know,
If we install some app using the .apk file from our computer.
Can we get them into the market
Coz, i'd like to know whether they got an update or something, and would like to update the app.
Thanks.

Actually u have to integrate/connect them with market. Use tit backup app. Long press on app that u want to link with market. Then choose 'attatch to market (forced)' option. Its so simple.

few are normal apps, few are the cracked ones.
better not try with anything cracked.
when you install an app from your computer in apk format, you should also be connected to wireless, in case something else gets installed at that time and stored in the apps files. most likely ripping an app from system or data will cause it to not have something the creator intended, which is why tying it to the market doesn't work... if you want to check for updates, then check for updates. if there's a more recent version, try installing the update over the old one. if it doesn't work, then copy all of the app data manually (go to /data and copy the folders for that app), then install the updated app, open it, close it, then replace all data with the one you copied.

oh okay.
Anyway mate, the Titanium backup method works.
It doesn't show the apps in my MY APPS in the market, but we can watch/update them from Titanium backup itself.
Thanks anyway.

I managed to replace the launcher on the Kindle Fire HD 8 (2017) model

I used this guide to root the device
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnzRn1yiICA
Then, I used RootJunky's app to install the google play store, and block ota updates.
https://www.rootjunky.com/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool/
Afterwards, I installed titanium backup, Evie Launcher or any launcher, it doesn't matter I don't think, and Link2SD.
Using Link2SD, I made my launcher of choice a system app, then going to titanium backup, searched launcher, and find "Homepages," uninstalled that, and the tablet will glitch a bit, I just restarted the device, and when it's booted, it should ask which launcher you want to use, and pick the one you chose.
Just to make sure it worked, I restarted the tablet a few times, and it stayed on the launcher I chose.
I just thought I'd say what worked for me, do this at your own risk though, I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong.
I'm also not sure how this affects alexa as I do not use her.
based on ur message, i did the same but in the step:
"then going to titanium backup, searched launcher, and find "Homepages," uninstalled that,"
just freeze homepage and get novalauncher automatically opened as default launcher

Yep - no reason to remove Homepages; just disable with the method/tool of choice once an alternative launcher is available. Keeping Homepages around will help with recovery (via adb) should some go wonky with the alternative launcher.

What does this mean?
If you have achieved root on such a device, do not remount the system partition as read/write.
Can i use adaway. And push or delete app from /system partition. Even if i get brick is there anyway to restore stock rom?

Can i use adaway. And push or delete app from /system partition. Even if i get brick is there anyway to restore stock rom?

Wrong thread to be asking such questions. Also should consider if rooting is the best choice if unfamiliar with the terminology. Best to read through the linked thread to get a better understanding of what you're headed into. Note the thread title: experimental

I am not unfamiliar with root. I have been using it for years . But the problem here is i always have backup stock rom. But in case of fire tabs i am new. & The thread isn't organised well.
