I've rooted my Kindle! Now what? - Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone!
With the help of the excellent guides on this forum, I was able to root my Fire HD 6 and install GAPPs. However, I'm relatively new to the Amazon ecosystem, and rooting in general, and I was wondering if I could get some help on a few tasks that would make my experience way better.
First, I need to be able to allow notification access to a few apps I use, but since I'm still using the restricted Amazon settings menu, I can't see how to do it. How do I access the vanilla Android settings menu?
Second, I would love to use a lockscreen like Echo, but when I swipe in, it just shows the Amazon Special Offers lockscreen. How do I disable the Amazon one?

LOL. Welcome to our world, where all roads lead to Amazon settings. Seriously, there's no such thing as a vanilla Android settings menu. I haven't tested latest OS, but on last version Push notifications tended not to work or to be very late--Hangouts didn't work at all. Other kinds of notifications (from Gmail, xda a few others) were pretty good. I'm doubtful anything's changed with this release, but you can try one of the Xposed modules that offer per-app notification settings. Might be something at the Play Store.

You can disable the ads and get Amazon's stock lockscreen wallpaper. See here. I've tried a few lockscreen apps and Xposed modules, but they either didn't work or made the lockscreen look wrong or behave badly. Maybe you can get something to work after disabling ads.

Android Market 3.13

V3.1.3 update:
# Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
(for all devices – does not require root, but you do need to enable ‘Unknown Sources‘ in Settings-> Applications.)
There’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
I've stuck with old one as the new one seems a bit laggy. Or is this newer than what was uploaded here a month ago?

This is the LATEST one from today/yesterday.
Version number for the one uploaded a month ago is 3.0.26 & 3.0.27.
How safe can those supposedly leaked market apps be.
And what a neat trick it is to tell that "Google rolled out a new market.". Then it is proclaimed as a leak. A Google rolled out a leak? With this verbal lingo maybe some people fall to that trick, so let it be said out clearly. Google has not released this app.
Why would official apps require "Unknown Sources" switched on. Only a hacked market app needs that and not official one.
Trusting your credit card info to such an app?
Big deal with those market upgrades provided by those hacked market apps. I rather have official market and know my apps and my credit card are safely mine only.
i tried it and its just the same as one a month ago
Thanks a lot for the .apk mate, it worked like a charm!
Many, many thanks!
Works great. Thanks.
Hi,
Yesterday my market app just got upgraded to this version automatically , I did not install anything , Background Data and Auto-sync were enabled.

Anyone please help!
Suddenly my Market force closes whenever I try to open or download something.
I do all kind of tricks: Clear data, clear cache, reinstall,... but they didnt help at all.
I tried installing from oldest to latest versions but they all had same problem.
Now I just cannot use my Market to download apps anymore.
Please help me! Thank you so much!

Go to Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market -> Uninstall Updates.
That should do the trick.
Amazing update !!

[SUGGESTION] One app only android setup? Kiosk Mode?

So I would like to restrict an android tablet to only one app and one app only.
I guess I need to customize a ROM to only be permitted to use only one app and not be able to install open anything else but the one app, would also be very nice if the app was actually the home screen. of course the other usual settings should be accessable, wifi, sound and similar, or if i could restrict those that would be nice also?
The tablet will be some cheap one.
What are my possibilities?
Any ideas, suggestions? Thanks.

Hi!
- You could make use of apps like one of these:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.promobitech.mobilock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gears42.surelock&hl=en
- If your tablet is running Android Lollipop then you can make use of Screen Pinning.
http://www.greenbot.com/article/2850373/lock-to-a-single-app-with-lollipop-s-screen-pinning.html
- You could also customize a ROM to suit your needs. You can enable root access and start deleting the system apps that you feel you won't need. For example, I think you can remove PackageInstaller.apk to prevent anyone from installing any apps (apk files).
- You can take a look at these pages:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24127947/lock-android-device-to-a-single-application
http://www.andreas-schrade.de/2015/02/16/android-tutorial-how-to-create-a-kiosk-mode-in-android/
- You can find a lot more info by just Googling "lock to one app android" or "kiosk mode android".
I hope you find my post helpful.

Disable ANY app notifications including those that normally can't be disabled? NOROOT

Hello. I just have a question that I have been unable to find an answer to. I have found apps which can disable persistent notifications and such and I know how to disable notifications from downloaded apps. However, is there any way to disable notifications that Samsung doesn't allow you to disable by default. I have the AT&T version of the S9+ in case that makes any difference.
Notifications such as?
All apps, barring a few, can be blocked from displaying notifications using native Android settings, without needing any app.
Hmmm. I didn't know that. I guess the ones that I've tried to disable must be the ones Android doesn't want you to, such as certain system UI or Samsung cloud notifications just as two examples. Any known way to disable those, without root.

Try the app "AutoNotifications" on the app store. I used that to get rid of the Gear connection notification which can't be otherwise blocked.
You'll want notification blocking. It's not a paid feature.
Sweet! Seems to be just what I needed. Thank you.

Your welcome. Found if on a post here somewhere. Seems to work well!

Looking for an app that will kill/stop apps running in the background.

I Have an app that opens other apps up (Intentionally) but it leaves that apps running in the background which bogs down the phone because the RAM gets full. So I am looking for an app that can be scheduled to run that will accomplish this but leaves the main app still running. Would an app that clears other apps data (Not cache.) accomplish this?
Android Lolipop, marshmallow, and nougat compatible.
Phone cannot be rooted.
Love this forum and all the help you all give out. Thanks a lot for your time.
I guess you could work with Tasker. But i don't know how so you will have to search up on guides for that.
Developer options
You can stop background apps from running in your developer options.. Go to settings>aboutdevice>software info and tap build number 7 times to unlock developer options. Go back on screen and scroll to the bottom on the dev opt look for option running services and close whatever you need.. hope this helps.

The issue with that is, it needs to be automated and be on a schedule.
Frep or Tasker are options, just been a long time since I actually used them and was looking for something easier to deal with.

Does Tasker still cost money? Try macrodroid.. there are thousands of premade templates already. I'm sure there is one already configured that will fit your need. It's free too.

Thanks for the info, way easier then Frep. I tried out clearing app data and selected the apps I wanted to clear the data from. Shockingly, it would only do it with a rooted device. This does not make sense as clearing app data is easily accessible and does not need special access. Set up to kill background processes but having no effect so far. I could not find any templates for this unless I was missing in the search criteria.
Thanks for the info though, much appreciated. I will keep testing.

removing system apps

Has anyone here uses package disabler pro or adb to remove bloatware and/or system apps? If so which apps did you disable/remove? Did it affect performance and/or battery life at all?
I used the ADB method. That said, some of the software (mostly pre-installed games) can be uninstalled normally, which is nice.
For the rest, I used ADB commands in Fastboot to remove them.
I was working mostly blind, since I hadn't seen anyone with a list, but I think I wound up nuking somewhere between two and three dozen system apps.
Sadly, I didn't write out a list. I tried to err on the side of caution and not nuke anything that sounded important.
Crap like the Game of Thrones game, CNN app and other news apps, radio apps, LG versions of stuff I was using Google apps of (most LG software, actually).
I left things like LG Home and LG Dual Screen installed. Obviously didn't touch System UI or anything that seemed critical.
I also removed some AT&T garbage I don't want or need.
I just Googled up generic instructions and winged it after that.
I did all this on my first day with the phone (early April) so I really don't have any way to compare performance or battery life before and after.
But I haven't had a single performance issue with this phone in over a month of use, and battery has been absolutely beastly.
(I think you've seen a comprehensive post I made in another thread of yours that shows my software environment and how I replaced pretty much everything (launcher, navigation gesture, live wallpaper, etc.) with third-party software that I prefer).

What's the benefits to disabling all of this stuff? I've spent years debloating my devices and never actually noticed any benefit to it. It's a genuine question, as I'm deciding whether or not to do it myself as well

Do you have the commands? I need to dump chrome as it keeps re-enabling itself and I absolutely HATE chrome. Keeps giving itself permissions I've denied it as well. This has been happening several times a day for about 4 days now

For one, it just gets rid of apps and icons for crap I never wanted to begin with. I know that most third-party launchers have options to hide apps, but I wanted a solution that was a tad more permanent (though without root, this isn't a 100% wiping of these apps. It's just the best we can manage without root). Since I tend to use Google's main suite of apps for most things, and replace things like my launcher, navigation gestures, and other critical parts of the software environment with third-party solutions, I don't really want a lot of overlapping apps that I'm never going to use. So nuking things like OEM or Carrier versions of Google apps is usually one of my first priorities. Also bull**** like Device Wellness apps, Carrier promotional apps and games, duplicate contacts, gallery, keyboard, dialer, email, contacts, calendar, messaging and browser apps. All that stuff goes. I have no use for two or three different versions of all these apps on my device. I love Chrome, Google Photos, the Google Dialer, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Google's RCS-enabled Messaging app, etc.
So for me, it's to de-clutter and to make sure I don't have duplicate functionality potentially running in the background eating up system resources, RAM, or mobile data. As long as you don't accidentally nuke something critical to the system, there's no real harm in de-bloating, even if on modern flaghsips with beastly hardware and tons of RAM, there's little performance or battery life to be gained by doing so. If nothing else, I try to keep the number of installed apps in the low 100s, and this helps on that count.

I used the following guide:

I believe I had the LG Mobile Drivers and Minimalist ADB & Fastboot already installed from my V30 days, so I skipped the first few steps, IIRC.
Or maybe I downloaded new versions and installed those. I don't remember anymore.

LG Package Disabler, or some such? I think it's still around.
I've heard of it, though I've never actually used it.
Nor do I know if it's been updated to support the V60.
Edit - I think this is it. And there's one review that suggests that it works on the V60.

I think some of those, like the Android Device Wizard and LG Device Wizard are basically one-time apps that run whenever a phone is factory reset.
Basically, the new phone set-up screens and activations you went through when you first powered your device on after purchasing and receiving it.
They may be automatically flagged to disable themselves after that first-time run so that they don't continue to run anytime you reboot the device.
Honestly, that's just a guess, because I don't know.
I don't know about the rest of them, but you can probably Google them.

I did some quick research:
com.lge.gdec.client seems to be related to the LG G-DEC portal.
https://gdec.lge.com/memLogin.do?req_lang=en
I don't have a log-in, nor do I know how to procure one, but I highly suspect that this is NOT a consumer-level feature or portal.
Perhaps it's for LG developers or existing LG employees. But if it's not consumer-level, then it's not surprising that the service is disabled by default.
LG GCUV (com.lge.gcuv) seems to be related to yet another LG sign-in portal called, appropriately enough, GCUV.
http://india.gcuv.lge.com/
This one seems to be specific to LG users (or developers or sales reps) in India, and it makes sense that it would be disabled on devices not intended for Indian markets.
Like G-DEC, I don't have a log-in for this, nor the means to procure one. I suspect this is another service that is not intended for everyday consumers.
I cannot find any information on Enabler Customizer (com.lge.smartenabler). Just questions about what it is here on XDA and on Reddit, with no one apparently knowing the answer.
So you might be asking yourself why system apps for services and log-ins not intended for consumers (or intended only for specific regions/markets) are doing on our phones?
The simple answer, most likely, is that they probably want to maintain and update as few system images as possible and thus, try to make them as homogenous as possible, disabling things not intended for this market or that market, as needed. Considering how slow LG typically are in releasing new updates for even their newest phones (let alone their older ones that have not yet technically seen support hit end-of-life), I'm OK with them trying to keep down the number of system images they need to work on. Especially if they pre-disable stuff not relevant to us without us needing to do it ourselves.

Now I kind of want to know what they are as well.
If I had to take a guess, I'd say that they're intended for either LG developers, sales reps, or repair technicians, and that these disabled services facilitate the servicing of devices when needed.

That app basically does the same as disabling the apps. It won't stop Chrome from re-enabling every day. I'll try your adb commands next. So tired of that crap app doing this

I imagine the ADB commands will work. I don't plan on disabling Chrome, because I use it every day.
But when you zap a package using Fastboot, the app will still actually show up in your Apps listing under Settings, but it'll have a "not installed" next to it.
If you do a factory reset, they'll all revert and you'd need to use the Fastboot ADB commands to nuke them again.
So they're kind of half-gone.
It's not quite as comprehensive as using root to completely delete them from the system partition.
But it's the best we've got outside of root.
I can confirm this package disabler works to disable any app on the V60 which is literally the only thing I typically do when rooting now that I have adguard and youtube vanced... so I dont need root access anymore thanks to that package disabler app. The phone is also fast enough for me to not need access to any type of speed tweaking of the cpu or anything. This is the first phone I can use without root thanks to that dev.
I have significantly improved my charging speed issues and battery drain issues seem to finally drain at a normal rate rather than unexplainably quick. Everything I use still works, im experienced at minimal services tho from every device ive ever owned, pc and phone. Yes it does make a significant difference to not be running so many unnecessary processes.

Do you have a list of what you disabled?
I have the tmobile varient... This is the xml contents of the things I disabled for a stock experience. Note: I dont use google voice assistant or any pen input, nfc, or always on display... I also use youtube vanced for youtube and poweramp for music. Those are notable things I disabled imo, everything else is just added bloat to stock Android 10. Dont disable any LG Home apps as they power the navigation and also dual screens, this is safe you wont get any device bricking errors, you can always go back and toggle things on and off to your liking but this is the xml export of apps I disabled. You could copy and paste this and save as xml to import into the service disabler.

Again, all core phone features definately work like internet, messaging, phone calls, fingerprint, location, cameras, all of it as normal. There are a couple debatable apps like
com.lge.ia.task.smartsetting where I debate their impact on LGs battery management because I do believe it is possible for them to have added a particular app that improved on android 10s battery but for me im good with running with just things I know come with stock + dont break the system ui or dual screen functionality.
I just feel like companies with 1000s of employees force develop apps just to say they did something each week (+brag about in ads), and to act as if Google hasnt done a good enough job... usually companys have a couple solid apps but mostly bulky junk they think just because a phones specs are able to run a lot of things at once, its okay to toss in all kinds of extra code for the phone to have to deal with.

I have the tmobile varient... This is the xml contents of the things I disabled for a stock experience. Note: I dont use google voice assistant or any pen input, nfc, or always on display... I also use youtube vanced for youtube and poweramp for music. Those are notable things I disabled imo, everything else is just added bloat to stock Android 10. Dont disable any LG Home apps as they power the navigation and also dual screens, this is safe you wont get any device bricking errors, you can always go back and toggle things on and off to your liking but this is the xml export of apps I disabled. You could copy and paste this and save as xml to import into the service disabler.

Awesome thanks man!
No problem, I will update this later on this week. Whats funny is that was my stable backup but not my very latest tweaking, when I went to export my very latest list, the app has a button to enable all disabled apps and I accidentally pressed it, so I lost those settings but am working on making sure the very best options are enabled and disabled. I will be testing and tweaking to update this base list this werk to find the cleanest, performance and battery life... (by trying out before and after of certain debatable services)
If you use this list and find a feature is disabled you use and you dont know which app it was let me know (ex google assistant) I will let you know which apps you need to reenable.
Off the top of my head, device health services and qualcomms devicestatisticservice (id suggest disabling this one) and lgs smartcare are some apps that are debatable on whether or not they are best to enable or disable..
I play a lot of fortnite (I know I know) but its literally the most battery draining thing you can do especially when combined with a bluetooth controller at full brightness, so battery performance is easy for me to monitor.. Also I was having an absolute misreable time with this device before I came here and saw that nonroot package disabler program was a thing.
