Has anyone else noticed some rotation issues with the kindle fire (HDX 7)?
Some apps such as instagram and spotify do not rotate once opened regardless of altered settings/reboots.
GoLauncher also does not work in landscape unless rotation lock is on in landscape.
Is there any fix to this?

Fire OS 3 && 3.1 is very buggy. The reboots are the most vexing thing. I tried a launcher but was annoyed. I'm praying lots of people root this thing then the devs come out with ROM's Kernals Tools and stuff. I don't have a prime account. I got the HDX because it has the best hardware for the price. Just please!!!! Get me away from Fire OS!
Odd. I haven't had a single reboot since updating to 3.1. I had a few before the update.

When switch my nook it landscape mode on the home screen (by turning it horizontal) and then moving it back to portrait mode, my wall paper seems to zoom in. Im wondering if its just a go launcher thing or i messed something up somewhere along the line.
Can someone test for me? Im using the standard built in nook wallpapers.

Have you rooted and installed gapps on your device? I noticed immediately after rebooting that the wallpaper was being stretched, even before installing go launcher. I dunno what is up.
I have a wallpaper i downloaded, and i don't appear to have this issue.

Yes i have. I even did a system restore to see if that fixed it, and it did not. Right now i just disabled auto rotate on the home screen and set the background to vertical mode (in the luncher settings).
This is the onlyway i can make it so itdoesnt zoom in.

Is it a Hd wallpaper like the ones that came with the nook tablet? Do u mind setting your background to one ofthe default wallpapers and testing?

Ive noticed that the NT's default pictures app does a pretty terrible job with wallpaper cropping. I have much more success when i set wallpapers directly from dolphin browser. The 1024x600 resolution also doesnt seem suited to alot of the wallpaper apps either. Ive had more success downloading 1024x1024 wallpapers from sites that tailor to the iPad.
Sent from my Nook Tablet
The standard Go wallpapers (like the vertical rainbow), seem to work fine for me. I too, have found images set directly from Dolphin seem too look the best though.
*edit* Just recreated what you're describing. Does it with nook wallpapers, but everything seems to work fine for me.

These are the dimensions I found to work:

And I too, am seeing the zooming effect using 3 different launchers.
Had the same problem with custom wallpapers, Wallpaper Wizardrii (from market) seems to be able to properly size the wallpapers so there's no strange zooming. Use the 'stretch' option on a wallpaper that's larger than the vertical dimension (1024).
cheers
I recently upgrade my Prime to ICS, and it works fine except that I get a weird pixilation and lines that go through certain screens. Any thoughts on why it does this? It's not consistent, but happens enough it's annoying. I tried wiping the tablet, but I haven't tried reinstalling the update. Thanks in advance.
Your not alone with this problem. I get the same effect alot
I called ASUS and they said they are working on a fix for it. Who knows how long that will take. haha. Although, I have noticed that using NOVA launcher seems to help a lot opposed to the stock launcher. There's a post about it in the Nexus app section. I use it on my Galaxy Note with ICS and it's way better than any stock launcher. Check it out if you have some time.
I've had this a couple times. I then changed to a static wallpaper, from a live wallpaper, and it seemed to not give occasional horizontal "staticy" lines.
By any chance are you using live wallpaper?
I've never had the vertical window blinds effect from two posts up though.

Recently my launcher and homescreen have been really twitchy. The it's almost like the entire screen moves a couple pixels diagonally back and forth but it doesn't affect the apps. I'm not positive but so far it seems as though it may only be when docked to the keyboard.
Anyone else experience this?

are you using a custom launcher at all? im using Nova Launcher and every time i open my homescreen my background picture unloads, loads, unloads again, all widgets lose their images, and then everything works fine. probably an issue with the launcher though.
Something similar happened to me while I was on stock WW .28 after very long uptime (300 hrs+) on stock launcher. Rebooting fixed it. On custom Rom I haven't had this issue.

Stock launcher. The issue was real bad on Androwook and Virtuous so I went back to the stock .28. I've only seen it once so far on stock.
I'm using CM10 unofficial and isn't this problem. (But there is occasional SOD)

I always believed that one of the biggest benefits of going to 1280x720 is that we should finally be rid of app compatibility problems.
Anyone still having problems with any apps? Since we are S3 resolution identical now, I assume this list should be close to nil.
Anyone trying apps that didn't work before? Horn, for example, just totally crashes on the Note 1.

Same on my note. I bought it yesterday when it was on sale for 25cents, but looks like I got taken! Does nothing but immediately crash on my note 1, fully stock, unrooted running the latest ICS firmware (LRT). Sad times.
I can't even download Horn on my n7100. It says incompatible.
I think Horn is Tegra 2/3 only. It says optimised for, but isn't compatible with any of my devices.
Hey guys,
anyone tried to use apex on the note2? (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher)
It seems to stutter a little bit. Can anyone proof that, or is it just my device? Using 4x5 lines on 4 screens, so nothing special.
Also the search bar from google is white, when I swipe from screen to screen, but when it stops, it gets gray.
Good news is swiftkey doesn't know if it's a tablet or a phone. I can use phone or tablet version (bought both).
Unfortunately swype beta seems a bit laggy for me. What text input do you use?
Anyway, best device I've hold in my hand!
Didn't have a crazy experience with apex either.
I actually uninstalled it and went back to twlauncher =/

osu!droid stutters very badly if you disable the internal music player (which you'd need to do to play songs with .ogg files)
tap sonic freezes for the first 10 seconds in a song, and then jumps ahead and plays without sound.
touchmix graphics don't line up with the touch detection so you have to tap above the buttons, it's worst in the lower half of the screen.
touchmix fx freezes when you start it, you need to press home and launch it again to unfreeze.
It seems that SketchBook Pro cannot be installed on this device. that makes me a sad puppy.

Nice, just tried and bought it. It's just like apex but totally smooth!
Nova Launcher works great but
You lose S Pen pop up (no big deal because you can just click on the app.)

er.. no I use nova and I have spen pop up.
You only lost the auto-go to special homescreen of twlauncher but you still get the auto smemo popup
Tried again. Get notification in status bar but no pop up. S pen setting to open pop up window was not checked. Works now.

I have installed a custom launcher on my Kindle Fire HD 6 using this method youtube.com/watch?v=v6_2GoSz5N4#t=19, however I soon found out that whenever I attempt to access the menu to change my wallpaper from the default black, the screen goes gray and I am returned to the home screen. Has anyone else found a fix for this? Does this problem persist in other launchers?
From what I read on other similar cases, changing wallpaper requires root.
From what I've read, the Kindle Fire HD 6 isn't rootable. Are there any other workarounds?

Besides on sideloading GAPPS and launchers, I think there is nothing we can do atm.

I think in one of these threads here someone has offered a suggestion of running an app that runs a transparent overlay of some sorts. Just remembered reading that somewhere here a few weeks ago? It might offer a temporary solution to not having wallpaper.
