I downloaded Age of Zombies from the Amazon App Store freebie list, and aside from refusing to run, it locks up my NC. I get a black screen and when I try to close it, it resets ADW Launcher and screws up my background. If I just let it run with the black screen, after about 30 seconds my NC reboots. BTW - I'm running Phiremod 6.3.
Anyone else get it to work, and if so... how?
I ran it with almost no issue on my Nook, CM7 Nightlies w/ OC kernel on SD.
The only issue I had was that it slightly over-scaled to full screen, cropping off some of the dialogue & menus; other than that, it ran fine.
I ended up uninstalling it though, not because of any technical issue, but because it got kind of boring after a bit.
Edit: I just thought to include that I'm also running Zeam as my launcher, seeing as AoZ conflicts with your ADW.
Are you running Chainfire 3D? I tried it with the driver on and off, and still no luck.

I haven't installed chainfire yet, so it's the default drivers.
I'm using CM7 nightlies, no-OC, Chainfire w/ nVidia plugin (not sure this is needed, it's just what I have enabled) and normal ADW launcher and it seems to be working fine. The initial startup seemed to have some issues, but after that it worked. The screen size does need some tweaking tho, probably need to re-enable the full screen in CM settings.
Good luck
Maybe a phiremod issue? But if memory serves (it should, I'm 11) phiremod is based of of CM7. Try a CM7 sd card to eliminate that variable.
I have been running this with no issues besides a little bit of cropping.
- CM7 Nightly 102
- Chainfire3d
- ADW Launcher
Try turning off compatibility mode. Or re-flash.
IT's basically Robotron updated. Fun.
I also have phiremod 6.3 and when i run it, my screen just stays black. When i exit my wallpaper is also just black but no FC's or reboots. After about a minute my live wallpaper was back
I initially had FC issues running cm126, oc kernel and adw. Fixed permissions and rebooted. Seems to be running fine now. Try fixing permissions in rom manager or recovery.

I like the nook launcher but as everyone knows it doesnt include sideloaded apps. Any way to change this?

nook color app manager allows sideload apps to be added to nook tablet homescreen its in googles market or androidzoom if you dont have access to the market.
Thank you so much! I have been trying to use different launchers and none of them work 100% correctly on the nook firmware and i am actually liking the nook interface

Oh! I had no idea nook color apps worked on the tablet. Do any others work?

Hi,
I am using (Go Launcher EX), but then you won't see the nice B&N default launcher unless you press the "Home button" (inverted U).
Of course if you also install Home Catcher (then when you press the "Home" button twice, it forwards you to the Go Launcher interface or any other at your choice)....

I also have goLauncher installed. It is the only launcher I have tried that is fully functional without any bugs. (ADW LauncherPro ADW.ex and many others all have some kind of issue either functional or cosmetic)
I very much like the Barnes and Noble home concept.
If anyone could now help me with getting sideloaded apps to launch from the app shelf I would appreciate it. Currently they only launch from the home screen.

I understand the resistance to rooting, but it does greatly increase the usability of the tablet. I'm using ADW launcher (now EX, $.10 in the market) and it works great. Go launcher also worked fine too. Add nookhome and you have the best of both worlds. So far, my NT has been rock solid stable, worlds better than my Viewsonic gTablet (bad purchase!!!). The biggest bug I've found so far is that in some apps, the pop up menu is white on white. Running a finger over the menu reveals the entry, so it's mostly aesthetic. Cut and paste is still absent and another pain in the butt is that quite a few apps are missing (google+?)from the market and require a bit of work to install. Once rooted and able to run all the Amazon stuff, this thing absolutely blows the Fire out of the water. Even rooted, the Fire is noticeably slower and buggier than the NT. My neighbor bought one, we compared and he returned the Fire for a NT.
A little background... I'm running the perma root method that shows version 9.9.9 and 1.4.0 and have access to play market etc. I also have the nice ICS bar buttons. I downloaded go launcher ex today and it runs fast, looks good, etc. My problem is that it is sized wrong! The fonts are huge or small depending and the bar at the bottom often sinks down into where the notification bar is. It's annoying and I believe it's because of the dpi or something that is stock on the nook. Is there anything I can do to size this right so that the fonts and sizes are correct on the nook tablet? Again, I'm not running cm7 or 9, just stock rooted.
From what I remember when I was running rooted 1.40 months ago, Go Launcher didn't play nice. There is a stable version though, something like 2.67, I am going off memory, you may want to double check. I had to freeze Go launcher so as not to get any updates. Any version after that was a little wonky. You may want to try out CM7 or CM9, Go Launcher works really well with both.

I'm running 3.01 from Amazon, sideloaded on NT stock tablet 1.4, which should behave the same as your rooted version without the root access. (I don't run Google Play because it wouldn't ever install correctly and I have an SD card from which I run CM7 which does have the Play Store.) I have adjusted all icon and icon label and font sizes, icon grid spacing, etc. to sizes that look just fine. Go Launcher has many customization features under the preferences item on the menu.
I was running go launcher on 4.1.0 rooted and it was fine. I even changed the rows and columns to get more on the home screen. When I restored to go back to stock over the weekend go launcher updated to the latest and still worked well.
I thought maybe we could all get on one page with launchers that work on rooted kindle fire hd. These work fine with no problems:
ADW ex
Nova launcher prime
Go launcher hd
FTL launcher pro
I also downloaded windows seven pro, it does work but it is a bit laggy and needs tweaking. (Yes I know, but I just couldn't help myself, wanted to try anyways)
Note to moderator: if you do not see a need for this thread, please delete.
Apex Launcher
thanks! which launcher would you suggest? are there any you can just download off play without further ado?
No all have to be moved to system apps and modified, (see go launcher thread)
I really like Nova and go launcher hd.
I've tried 4 different launchers:
Nova Launcher 1.21- worked after installing, would not start on reboot
Go Launcher HD- works, but the background image doesn't size right/shifts every time you rotate the screen
Apex Launcher 1.3- would not install
Nova Launcher Prime 1.0.1- works, no hide dock feature
Nova Launcher Prime 1.2- works well, slow to start, most features functional
the best way to figure out if a launcher will work is to download it, move it to system/apps, change permissions to rw--r---r---, DON'T INSTALL IT, reboot your kindle, and it should prompt you you when it starts to choose a launcher

Apex launcher works very well for me. Lots of controls - if you use 'em. Mostly, it just looks clean, and the maker took some pains to make sure that it worked well.

Mine worked perfectly fine once I got it moved to /system/app.
Whenever I rotate my Kindle to landspace while using Nova or Apex, it gets extremely laggy. Does anyone else have this problem?
Go Launcher HD
I can confirm that this works.
Have to be rooted, and side load it using Root Browser, by copying it to /system/app
Didn't even have to restart it, hit the Home button and asked me which launcher I wanted to use.

Hi, i just bought a Chinese dash cam/rear view mirror on amazon, i think its made by phisung
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7G994A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
it works well, but the android system is quite dated (4.0.4), and some of the setting are missing or dont work such as brightness adjustment.
so far i've rooted it using kingo and installed titanium and root explorer, and backed up the existing partitions using adb, but what i'm quite keen to do is modify the main launcher screen. at present i cant change the 7 apps on the main windows phone style launcher screen and I want to replace them with alternatives or replace the launcher.
I've sideloaded nova and a couple of other launchers, but whilst I can load them from the app draw, there is no option to set a new default launcher, and the home button always loads the pre-installed launcher, which is some chinese launcher listed as DX_launcher02 in the app draw and daxun.launcher.activity in system/ app folder, I've tried apps like launcher switcher, which have no effect on the default as the options is greyed out.
I've also tried freezing the built in launcher with Titanium, thinking it might then default to nova, but the home button( both hardware and soft buttons) then just loads a blank screen, so I used the recent app menu to go back to titanium and unfreeze the stock launcher.
I'm suspecting there might be a more complicated way to change the launcher, either by editing apk properties and changing the default app to point the shortcuts/tiles to new apps, or by setting a new default launcher, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated?
My friend bought exact same model.
He has problem with auto shutdown. Navigating or not - recording or not - there will be pop up that countdowns 10sec auto shutdown.
To abort shutdown - touch the screen. And of course - touching the screen doesn't help.
Have you found any solution for this?
5" Mirror DashCam
Hi I do not know too much about this Android device, but I bought one (Crane_cvr) frm Tingway and it was full of Chinese software. Trying to delete it was not successful and loading Google Play was impossible. The sellers sent me an "new" h200-2.img file which I installed with Phoenixsuite. However, my functionality of the GPS disappeared. I have even connected another working GPS, to no prevail. Since it seems you have lot more knowledge, do you have an idea how I can get the GPS working? I have now been trying for 2 months. GPS Toolbox / Test / etc .. do not pick up any satellites, but it seems the GPS is detected.
Thanks in advance
