As stated. My market icon dissappeared but still shows market installed.

Google has just changed all of their services check if there is an app called "Play" or google play that is the new market
Thanks. Just found it before I saw your post. You would figure that they would replace the market icon on the screen. Was going nuts. Felt like a newbie

Any idea on how to get the Play Store shortcut back on the main screen app dock?
When mine updated the new icon shows in the apps section but vanished on the main screen dock and it isn't part of the widget options.
Disregard as I figured out how to get it back on the dock!! Dummy me...

I got the MID 7005 yesterday. The AppsLib didn't work good for me, so I downloaded a few other app markets. I downloaded some widgets from them. The apps that were installed show up on my device, but when I go in to place the widget on my home screen, the only thing on my widget list is the Google Search. Am I doing something wrong or is there a fix for this? Thanks.
Same thing on mine, but the Widgets started working after I installed launcher pro from the market.

Does anyone have an apk for an app switcher or info to point me in the direction to find one? The Amazon market doesn't have anything besides some swipe gesture one that is $1. Figured there were free ones out there I could grab if only I could get to their apks.
I'm not rooted so I don't have access to the Google Market.

getjar.com?? what exactly are you looking for
getjar doesn't actually download anything on the fire. My guess is it normally just hands the downloading off to the google market, so on the fire all i see is the download screen pop up for a second then disappear. Nothing ever downloads.
Basically I want a way to get the stock android task switcher when you hold down the home key. Holding down the soft home key on the fire does nothing.
I'd like a way to switch between apps easily.
I see that many apps exist in the google market that do this but since I have no market access I need apks.
I can download apps with getjar on my Fire....i selected the G2x as my device when it asked

There should be a "supported" Kindle Fire GetJar available now. Was supposed to be available by 4pmPST on the 16th.
When you choose the fire as your device all of the app selection disappears. guess we'll have to wait for apps to be marked as fire compatible.

I tried this. Prompted me to grab the getjar app from m.getjar.com, which I did.
But even then, after hitting download, nothing downloads.
I'm using AppSwipe.

This is exactly what I needed. Definitely not a nice as just holding down the Home button, but better than nothing at all... *shrugs*
Thanks!

This is great!
I've got the icon sizes set to about 100 instead of the default of 50. that made the icons much more finger friendly. Great find, thanks so much.
I just purchased the unlock code which is in the amazon app store, yet somehow the app doesn't recognize that I have purchased the app. Weird. The unlocked version lets you do things like launch it by double tapping on the Home button, which would be perfect.
I emailed the dev. hope he gets back to me soon.
Just an update that AppSwipe is in the Amazon market for the Kindle now. No need to sideload it.
Unfortunately you can't get long search or home button press events from the Fire buttons, so I have it set to launch on double tap of the home button.
I set the dock icons to be 140px which makes them about the same size as the icons on the home screen in the Fire launcher. Finger friendly.

works quite well now.
I thought it was going to be included witht 4.1.1, but i don't see it after the update, and it's not on the market either... What am i missing here
Long press the Home button and you should see a circle with "Google" in it. Select that and Google Now opens.
I didn't even think about that... Does anyone know if it's in the gapps zips? I don't think it is, since maps wasn't in the zip I flashed.
Look in your apps list too for a blue icon with a white letter g just labelled "Google". That's Google Now.

I figured that out after I made my reply. Lol.
You can also launch it from the lock screen or the Google search bar.

I'm still trying to figure out how this all works. It seems like it works better on a phone, than my Transformer Pad, for me... The scheduling and other features are something I access on my phone, but not my pad.
Hi, I'm a noob and have searched the forum before creating this topic. Hope there are no duplicates.
So I was downloading the camera app for my nexus 7 by modaco and it appeared on my home screen. However, there was this kobo books app which appeared too. I did not download it. It just appeared. It was not listed in my apps drawer though. It just appeared on my home screen which I then removed from. When I when to settings>apps, it was not there too. Let me reiterate that I didn't download the app and it appeared on my home screen only and then disappeared after I removed it from the screen. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it seems like my uncle had this problem too. Is it part of some ads posted by other downloaded ad supported apps? Cause this is weird and I hope it isn't a virus or something. I had just uninstalled the camera app by doodle apps and installed the one by modaco. Is it because of the doodle apps camera app? Cause it floods me with lots of ads. This problem is weird I know. But answers would be most appreciated. Thanks.
Noob android fanatic.

Device= Qmobile Noir A8, Dual core 1 Ghz with ICS 4.xx.
Problem= Launcher deleted.
Solution= Read below
_______________________________________
I deleted my build in Launcher's .apk from /system/app folder after installing another launcher.
After i deleted it some how the new launcher stopped (My task killer killed it i guess) and never came back.
Now i was with out a launcher and all i had was the small status bar on top of the screen.
I could access the settings though, but there was nothing their to help me.
The task killer was accessible from status bar and i added the new launcher to its white list but it didn't worked.
I had no ROM backups or any thing like that and almost bricked it.
Luckily i had rooted it just after a few days of usage.
So i googled to restore some launchers in my device.
I had found a few solutions but non were working for me.
I download the SDK and tried pushing files to it.
The device was rooted i could access the root but nothing was getting pushed with an error message.
Next I tried every thing else that i came across on the whole internet and hours and hours of searching.
In the mean while an SMS came and i could access it from status Bar.
That gave me an idea.
How.
1. I could receive SMS and reply to it once it appeared on the status bar.
2. So i compiled a text message from another phone and the message contained a link "w w w.g o o g l e.c o m.p k" and i sent it to my device.
3. when i received it on my phone i had a text message with a link, the link was active and after pressing it i had the option to use my browser or playstore. after choosing playstore i had access to every thing.
downloaded a launcher and saved the day....
May be if some one had similar problem then use this method to restore your launcher or some other system app.
hahahahha how simple
Mmmmmmmm or you could have just pressed the search button which would open up Google search and could have searched play store the app would have showed up and you could have clicked it

If you could get into settings, couldn't you have gone into the list of apps therin and either gone to the play store or the launcher itself? Did restating not just fix it?

The screen was empty and i had removed all the widgets from it already. There was no search option any where. Only thing i had was status bar and settings(through the status bar drop down menu.

I had deleted the launcher from the core /system/app folder through a root explorer. And how could it show up on apps when no .apk files.
How can u open play store from settings.
Restart was not the solution
