see i also have a limebox and i wanna root it and i dont know it but i know that crappy keyboard thing so u have to do is download null keyboard
from the android market (its free) and use it its a keyboard with no keys nothing will pop up and download keepscreen cuz when your listening to music it goes into sleep to avoid that use keepscreen (its free) and the rooting thing i dont know it and i am only 12 so be nice
Hope this helped!
Dude......I'm 15 myself......Age doesn't matter! Thanks for the tip........will be sure to try it out. Sad that there isn't a root method available for this one. Btw, have u tried to play an mkv file? Does it lag on yours?
no lag

Sony PlayStation games are anywhere from 10 to 15 years old, thats why they look this way, the tablet is working fine.
They're not going to look any better on a playstation; it's an old system and that's about as good as games got back then...
That being said, it's still fun and nostalgic to play some of those old titles!

So true! It will be nice to play those classic PS games one more time to remember old times! hehe but I must recognize that as many old video games, I didn't remember them looking so bad! haha but that's just my memory not the tablet!!
By the way there is a software rendering and some other settings for each game which help compatibility with psxperia on native emulator on experia play. See if it helps. I have not strated playing psx games on the tablet as i cannot attach a ps3 controller (maybe because im still on 3.1 fw) and for now xperia play experience is better

Im hoping someone can help...
Im having trouble accessing the playstation.store and getting these 'free games'. I havent received any notification and the playstation app on Market doesnt seem like the right place.
I am hoping someone can help, and I hope im not missing something obvious.
I appreciate any help, thanks!,
Search for account manager.apk and install..after that u will be able to download free ps games
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
when you say I will eb able to download games, where from exactly?
I don't mean to sound thick- it may be right in front of me I just can't seem to find it.
Are you referring to the Account Manager available from Market?
Where exactly do you go after this has been downloaded because from what I can tell this is just need to run video and Music unlimited....
thanks in advance
there should be a PS store app installed on your tablet already

I had this, yet it wouldn't open. 1 factory reset later and it's no longer installed
I'll have to try to get my hands on the apk and install it manually. Hate having to find workarounds to things that should just work fine
try opening your video unlimited app; it's synced to the ps store somehow and last time I opened it was when it asked me to upgrade. Just a thought...
Im not sure what I did anymore, but its back now... might have goten it from a sony site

1 use a different browser, I like boat browser myself.
2 look under settings- display- screen time out. Or have I misunderstood?
3lag usually goes after a while. Try removing some stuff you dont use etc

Lag on an S,lol, its a bug. Reflash the phone(what firmware version are you?).
Screen timeout can be set from Display settings, not sure about lock, I amnt using a code atm.
All android browsers will default to the "m" versions of sites as the stock user agent string will tell the site that your phone is android. Without root I dont know if you can change the stock browsers user agent, but if you install opera mobile it can be set from "about:config"(type in to address bar).
Edit: If you've only booted once, REBOOT! First boot lags things up a bit.

1 ... i thought that i would have to, but i wanted to stay with the default, so this is what anoyes me.
2 ... no, i dont mean the time, when the backlight turnes off ... i mean the lockscreen in which you can unlock your phone with pin and gestures after you pressed the power-button and turned it on again
3. hmm ... there is nothing on ... expect for the stock-apps ...
the firmware version of mine is 6.0.A.3.62 ... but pc companion says that this is the newest -.- although it istn ...

Yes, I have a Pipo M9 Pro and I would love to delete this . I believe this is rockchips buggy useless crap version of a multiWindow / tasker...
Anyone know if this can be done?
hello..
I deleted it from my Nexus 5 and the phone crashed overnight. The screen went black. You might call it soft bricked.
Fortunately comma I flashed it the next morning using the Nexus root toolkit. My preference would be to name the developer of that miraculous program because he deserves all the accolades for it. Unfortunately comma I'm unable to at this time.
Hi folks,
i just googled my ass off, thinking someone must have had the same idea that I just came up with. Unfortunately to no avail.
Is it possible to run some of the stock kindle apps on other devices?
The reason I'm askin is that I just saw my dad usin his KFHD7 calendar application and I liked it better than any other calendar app I've seen for Android.
Could anyone provide me with an apk? Does the kindle even use APKs for its stock apps? My father is unfortunately not a root-guy, so I cannot get the files from him. I'd really like to try it on my Asus tablet and on my HTC One X which both have similar display resolutions.
Thank you very much in advance guys, really appreciate your efforts.:good:
EDIT, see below: Answer is No. Apps do FC instantly. Please close topic

i simply deleted all my kindle apps, not deleted, moved to sd card them all and backuped them all without anty problem, my tablet work without them, but i think they dont work for other devices
Don't know but I've zipped up a few (Calendar & Email) if you want to test them, not sure if they rely on other resources or APKs?
http://www.mediafire.com/?8zfxhb8v94j5cra
@persano: I'm afraid I don't really get what you're trying to bring across - are you saying you backuped your kindle-apks and could provide me with the calendar? I'm not sure...
No offence intended - might be a langauge thing...
edit: @Gilly10: Thanks, I'll try them out right away!! :good:
edit2: Jeeeezz, seems as if my provider is slowing down media fire on purpose. couldn't even load the webpage on my pc. had to use my phone to get there. now the download of 10ish mb is taking ages. i hate it. 81% and pending /rant
OK. The file finally arrived.
The good thing is: My question's answered now.
The bad thing is: The answer is 'no'.
App FCs instantly, no matter if it's installed by tapping it or if it's put into /system/app with appropriate permissions.
Tried it on an HTC OneX with a custom Jelly Bean Mod. Could install it, couldn't start it.
Tried it on an Asus Transformer TF101 with Stock ICS. Couldn't install it at all (package name already in use).
Thank you for your quick help guys!

Did you reboot?
You can also try side loading an older version of the app. I'm sure you can find one on the interwebs...
Yep. Tried turning off and on again. No joy.
No offence want the latest version as it has the most recent levels.
Anyone else got any ideas please?

I am not specifically familiar with the app/game/program that you are referring to, so if what I am about to suggest turns out to be complete rubbish, please feel free to ignore it completely. Here goes anyway, just in case it might turn out to somehow be useful !!
I sideloaded Better Terminal Emulator (a GREAT app & also one of my most favorite root-aware apps !!). Whenever I would start it up, it would run just fine, as long as I did *not* attempt to open the KFHDX keyboard. As soon as the built-in keyboard was activated, BTE would immediately crash & close. As you might guess, any terminal emulator program is basically worthless without keyboard input !! However (so this is where you might want to try the same thing, if "keyboard" applies in your specific case), when I use an external BT keyboard, BTE continues to run as great as it always has . . . problem averted !! [ now if I could just get my root access back with the latest formware ]
HTH !!
Good luck & have fun !!

With stock AMZ FW, you can also run into issues with some apps that use any DL service other than AMZ. Which is why many paid Play Store apps will force close, like GTA SA, which will fail to open or crash unless you use the KF version.

Pet Rescue Saga is a free game and unavailable on the amazon app market. I have it on my non-rooted kindle fire HD (v7.4.8 FW) and it works fine on that.
