Could someone please post the stock music, and book apps that are on the default KF OS? i would like to use them on cm7.
I dont know about the others, but the book app on the stock fire is useless on CM7. you cant change books using that app. You are best off just downloading the kindle app from the market.
what do you mean you cant change books? like your just stuck in one book?
all the book changing is done from the launcher on the stock Fire kernel. yes, you are stuck in one book.
oh ok thnx, do you know where i could find the music app?
i know that that one works

Okay, everyone knows that the G2X comes with stock apps like EA Games, NFS Shift HD, and NOVA. Also, when accessing the Music player, the DTS option is gone.
I hope other apps can know that my phone supports THD because games like Fruit Ninja need that. If anyone can upload the missing apps that came with the phone, that would be nice to redownload them.

Have you tried themes and apps section?

CM7 is a clean Android install. No bloatware.
Actually the G2x SHOULDN'T have come with any additional packages seeing how it is stock android (I think they got in trouble).
So to answer your question, no, it doesn't come with that EXTRA stuff.... but you can add it back in manually (to each his own). I think the included sound options are supposedly better then the DTS. There is an option to enable it somewhere (but you HAVE to enable it). I think its in the Music app options.
lol DSP Manager absolutely blows away that little DTS toggle. not sure which "missing apps" you are referring to though since you didn't specify. you should know there is a thread in themes and apps that has every single stock program apk included. also the cm7 thread should have a link to gapps to install the stock google apps.
I've got a rooted SGS4G. I still have the stock ROM since I run the phone as a PDA.
I got rid of the social and entertainment apps, and rooting was the only way.
Now Google maps is driving me crazy. I just want the coordinates, I live in this town so I know what's around and will not use an entertainment guide, want no part of Latitude. The stupid app just updates everything and I can't move it to the card or get rid of the extras. If I freeze it, Weatherbug Elite isn't happy. It updated yesterday, I undid the update with Titanium, and it updated itself again today.
I just might want a map sometime, so I don't want to delete it.
Anything suggestions about getting control over this stuff?
you realize that places, navigation, latitude are all a part of google maps. if you dont use it, dont put it on your homescreen and you should be good. let maps update because its helpful. use launcher pro or an app that hides apps and hide the app from your app drawer and you're fine.
dont try to mess with it because it is an integral part of the phone...
im not sure if that helps; im not 100% sure what youre trying to do
It doesn't. I don't need the maps - just the coordinates for astronomy and weather.
If I want a map, I'll download from mapquest on the computer and turn it into a pdf. Or use the printed page. I prefer print maps, I don't need a map to navigate.
If I can tell MS to get lost even though they say they own the latest OSs, then I should be able to tell Google the same. I dislike assumption.
I need a hosts file on the phone.
You could be nicer about it so good luck with what you're trying to do. I don't think it can be done to be honest. whiskey or acid may help you out

Backup with titanium, delete with titanium, restore when needed with titanium.

I've been doing that. I have a question about TI backup. I told it to delete the Kindle App, and using manage apps on the phone, Kindle is still listed. Did TI actually remove it?
I can't use Kindle as a reader since it's only linked to Amazon's bookstore. I like Manybooks and Gutenberg project and you can't read them on either the Kindle or Nook apps. It's funny that I could read any file on the Nook Wifi I had.
The phone is rooted and unlocked. I use it mostly as a PDA.
I liked the Palm platform and now enjoying Linux. Ubuntu doesn't assume anything. Mine came with Open Office, but if I'd rather use Libre Office, I can delete Open and install Libre.
The carriers, Samsung, and Google are assuming too much in some cases. There's quite a few that would love plain vanilla Android.
I think you see kindle app after uninstalling because you didn't get rid of correspondent .odex files. Until you do, you're going to see a link to kindle on your app drawer.

Thanks for that info. I am not familiar with Android extensions.
There's a couple of apps that will allow you to move stuff to the card. I have App2SD and am not impressed. I can understand some of the built in programs not being moved, but I have a financial app that I bought that won't let me move it.
Do any of the other move to sd card apps work any better?
Since I'm rooted, can I use a firewall to stop the updates? I was looking at Droidwall, but I'm not sure about IP tables.
I read in another section about low memory, I've done most of that, and there's still high usage from something.
Hi all, I have read a lot about missing apps in the market, but it seams to me that there is an unusually high number missing from my rooted Kindle....
Could someone please confirm if the following apps are also missing from their market?
Be Weather
Weather Bug
Go Launcher EX
Dolphin Browser HD
Weight Watchers Mobile (the official app)
I see themes for a lot of these, but not the main apps.
Also, I tried the fix.apk file that I have used on my phone, but it didn't get me what I was hoping for. Thanks
Don't have a fire yet, but can confirm from a few other places that these were removed from the Amazon marketplace for the Fire. You can still sideload them though. Seems this was done a few days ago once everyone started posting that this was a way to get rid of the carousel.
I noticed that, too. There's obviously some sort of filtering going on.

Not on mine either. Perhaps since the Fire isn't one the "compatible" list they are not even available to download.

Thanks everyone sounds like the market is also very limited.

i have go launcher ex and dolphin hd running right now. I did sideload them, i just did it when i was sideloading all the google apps and such. You might do some apk searches on the web. Otherwise it may take a couple weeks for them to be available for the fire (widgetlocker has already updated for the fire, for example).
The Android Market does not contain all of the available apps. It only contains apps that are compatible for your device. So if you have a Kindle Fire it will only show you apps they are compatible with the KFire. That does not mean that you cannot sideload those apps from the Internet.
But, not all sideloaded apps work though.

When I first got my Kindle, I was able to download Go Launcher Ex from the App Store, then when I had a friend get it, it was gone. Ended up sideloading it, but yes, there appears to be a filter.
It really would be quite awesome if there was a way to override this filtering in the android market for those that are rooted. I would love to take my chances.
Google Voice App Receives, but no way to send texts
I read through all FOUR pages of the Kindle Fire forum but did not see anything about this.
I have successfully installed (side loaded) Google Market and Maps on a rooted Fire. I also installed Google Voice (all apk's from my EVO).
GV runs and displays incoming texts, but there is no way to write or send a text. When you click on a text conversation, it opens but there is no text box to write in.
Clicking menu does not give a "compose" option.
Since GV sends texts over the Internet, I am puzzled why this does not work.
I downloaded another texting app and that one does work, but it gives you yet another "phone" number, which just confuses my contacts (they dont know who is texting them).
Anyone got GV working?
Hi guys,
So here's the deal. I have GO Launcher EX installed on my kindle fire and I have set up everything to where I want it to be now. I got calibre and transferred my books into the KF.
Now on the Launcher's main page, I'm trying to open up the "Amazon Kindle" app to read my books but the only way to make this work is to open up the old launcher and open the book. Then, with it open that is the only way I can have the Amazon Kindle app to do anything at all. If I do not open the book beforehand, the app does nothing when I select it.
My question is. Is there a way to browse my collection of books on the GO Launcher itself or a different app for it?
Probably not the most elegant solution...but on my wifes KF, she prefered the GO Launcher interface to the original KF one so we downloaded the Kindle app for Android from the market, installed it, logged into our Amazon account and checked our registered devices for the market version (the KF also still shows as a registered device and the market app shows below that in the 'Registered Kindle Reading Apps' section) and now when she purchases a book she has it sent to the Kindle for Android app on her KF instead of the KF device itself.
I don't know how the market app compares to the KF native app but she's happy so I am too (at least for now).

I have had issues as well. Rooted and using ADW, the Kindle app would do nothing when pressed. After a while, it just starts to work but only opens the current book I am reading. Have to go back to the original launcher to see all the books. Strange.
Hi peeps...
I'm currently running the hexagon stock modified rom and i was wondering what stuff i can remove without screwing it up???
I pulled a few bits n pieces out like the weather stuff and google maps and gmail using link2sd and it ran fine for a while then something went wrong and the phone would lock up if the screen went off...
I would like to strip everything down to the bare minimum... I use my kindle fire for 90% of stuff now... All i want is basic phone functions, a twitter client, skype and emails... Plus tethering and gps.... And play store for updates
I'm considering changing sense for something else too if theres anything smaller and quicker...
Any tips would be welcome! Thx in advance!
Almost forgot... Can i delete the internet browser and install firefox to replace it rather than install it alongside?

you can delete usually many apps like weather, stocks, mirror, calculator, browser, facebook, even search, mail,dictionary, gmail and talk. However, some apps are linked with others like contacts is merged with messaging so removing one might affect another. I will not delete any app that you can not see in app drawer and neither delete an app which i think might be integrated with another one!
You can also remove camera
