[Q] No options bar or Status bar on Kindle Fire 2 - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

After rooting my kindle the options bar and status bar disappeared. Also it is no longer under my devices on amazon. The options bar will appear for a second when I click an app but disappear immediately. Does anyone know a fix or how to reset/install to new?

What Rooting instructions did you follow? Try to give me a Play-by-Play on what you did exactly.
I have seen this on the Kindle Fire HD when someone try's to use Option 2 with the Root MANY ANDROIDS!
Did you accidentally use Option 2?
I have also seen this when someone stops at Step A or 1 in our step-by-step.
We'll try to get you back online.

To those of you who haven't fixed it, try running option 42 of Kindle Fire Aide. (Fix sluggish Kindle with Flashing Screen) It fixed mine no problem. It was strange, because when it said that the Kindle would look strange it didn't, but instead was fixed. Hmm. :good:

Ive fixed this before for someone all i did was Install adw launcher and go to the settings icon in the app drawer and do a factory reset from there. Rooted or unrooted this will work since adw will install on a unrooted or rooted device.
Here is a free version of adw for anyone that finds this useful

I was just handed a non-rooted Kindle Fire HD 7" which had this issue as well, running 7.4.6
lucky for me, somehow I was able to get Wifi working , I dont remember what triggered the pop up to allow me to connect, but after thrashing around for quite a while I was able to go to appstore and install and open "smart taskbar v2" which gave an alternative way to get at all the settings.
a factory reset seems to have corrected whatever was causing the problem(s)
also, with this particular device, plugging anything into the USB led to a black screen, wasnt able to boot with a factory cable, plugging in an ac adapter shut down the device, just weird behaviour all around. , I feel lucky to have gotten it back to "normal"
just suggesting as an alternative for those who may get this issue and their wifi is working.

Unable to install apps from unknown sources

Does anyone have the problem of being unable to install apps from sources other than the play store? For example, atm I'm trying to update 'Lucky Patcher' and the request for me to install the update which also shows the permissions the app is requesting but I can't actually press on the Install button. I can still press on the show all button and cancel button as well as the touchscreen keys at the bottom but just cant press on the Install button.
I was able to install unknown source apps before however, it just doesnt work now.
How do i fix this?
Is your unknown sources box still checked?

Yeah, double checked that. This has happened to me a few times now...
Edit: NVM! found the problem, was screen filter.
Just a heads up. No warez allowed on these forums...

Please explain how you did it. After a lot of searching on my own I found someone's advice to set the brightness to max and disable any screen dimming apps (which I have none installed, bought the device a month ago) and I still can't install apk files. Mind you the appropriate setting to allow unknown sources is set. The Install button just doesn't react exactly as you described. Everything else on the popup window is active (permissions and such). Please help!
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I had this problem 2 months back. It turned out that the screen filter app that I was using was leading to this. I turned the app off and it worked

I sat down and killed all the apps one by one. It turned out Battery Mix's battery bar (1px battery level indicator on the very top of the screen) was causing this behaviour. I will report this to the dev. So problem solved! :good:
Yeah, for my Nexus 4 the culprit was Juice Defender's brightness control. Disabled that and was able to install the apk I wanted to install. The developer does warn that this setting "might not work or cause problems".
Thank You All!!!!
Once again I was quickly able to solve my problem with a quick search on your forums!! Thank you all for giving such great advice. My problem with not being able to press the install button ended up being the "Twilight" App. Simple to temp disable/enable so not a big deal to me. I'm also going to let them know over at Twilight so hopefully a future update will solve this problem.
Thanks!!

[Q] Messaging > New Message

I truly love my S4 but this is driving me insane.
When receiving a message instead of telling me who it's from and an idea of what the message is... I get this:
Edit: Apparently I can't post an image of the issue until after 10 posts. In any case, my notification, both on the lock screen and on the notification bar, say Messaging, and underneath says New Message. Normally, or at least with my S3, it would show who the text message is from, and then a small preview of what the message says.
Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix? I am trying to stay away from rooting my phone, for now. I am using Nova Launcher Prime but I don't see why this would effect anything. A reboot has done nothing so far.
In message app enter menu and after, settings thhan tick the last option before signature, in italian "anteprima messaggio"

Thanks. For some reason I didn't think to go into the settings of the actual messaging screen. I was able to put a check mark beside "Preview Message" and that has solved my issue. Thanks Again!

I guess Samsung left it off to keep the privacy of unexperienced users on Android that have no idea how to change settings by themselves.

[Q] Cant pull down notification bar

Hey Guys, Ive got an infuriating problem. I cant pulldown my notification bar, my notifications just sit there taunting me, or at least they did till I remembered the dedicated nav key option lg offers but still I don't want to have a non functioning notification bar. I didnt do anything to my phone around the time this happenEd, just picked it up and found I couldn't pull it down. I've tried restarting, reflashing and wiping. I've even got it back to "unrooted" status in both the settings and download mode incase its a digitiser issue. Any thoughts guys? Id rather not loose my pride and joy for a week at the least if you guys have some ideas.
Thanks for your time and assistance :fingers-crossed:
I jave tje same issue are you using the xsposed because thats about wen mine happened. After i updated i noticed the center clock freezes and notification wont pull down. How ever a system ui reboot(soft reboot) fixes my issue

I might have done something with xsposed, maybe hiding the location icon. I reflashed the entire phone so Im pretty sure that includes a ui reboot somewhere in there. Also I found out it works in landscape mode, I can just pull it down like regular. Using the dev features "show touches" "show touch data" in none of my touches are recognised where the notification bar would be (top 1/4th inch near mic) even when in landscape mode.

I enabled things, not many, if any. They would have been enabled for a while tho before the problem arose. Wouldn't reflashing the system wipe out any software changes?

Question: screen overlay detected... How do I fix it?

Hi,
I am trying to use Waze on my phone, but the app won't open as it keeps saying screen overlay detected. I have gone into my settings and turned off the overlay for all the apps apart from the system apps. But it is still not working.
I have tried searching on Google, and don't have any of the apps installed like twilight, luxe or Facebook which are supposed to be causing the problem.
Any other suggestions on how to fix it?
Cheers

Are you using swipe home, if so deactivate and enable the other app and then enable swipe home.

Not sure what swipe home is? It's not listed under apps, I usually press the middle button to get to the home screen

Screen Balance (which adjusts screen colour balance/tint) and which I recommended in another thread creates an overlay.
Certain apps will not function properly unless SB is turned off.

It's not a stock app it's a downloaded app from the play store.
I usually turn off off all the apps using it and turn it on after... It's a frustrating issue but what are you going to do.
If it's bothering you find a good Rom, for example Superman Rom, Overlays was removed as it's too much if s hassle

It has nothing to do with any of that, it's Google's fault. You can flash a fix which is in Phoenix rom thread or go back to a previous stock rom

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. Screen Balance is an app, separate to the UI's adjustments.
I had the same overlay issue,what I did that Ive disabled all the apps altogether,and switched them on back one by one,discovered that an application called Swipe Home Button Ive installed was responsible,so I have uninstalled after which everything was normal.
Is it safe to turn off the overlay for the system installed apps? I have turned off the overlay for all other apps that I have installed
The app that was causing me this problem after this weekend's AT&T software update was Bing. I Uninstalled it and all was fine.
How I finally fixed the "Screen Overlay" problem on my S7 edge.
The easiest fix, only full fix, I have found is as follows. When the screen overlay screen opens in settings, just turn everything marked on to off. Which by the way is the only thing you can do on this screen. Since I did all my apps, even the ones that weren't working, are working as they should. Hope this helps someone.
As Richie and Monigote stated, flash the screen overlay fix from Phoenix ROM. LoL pay attention please

even when I tried to turn overlay off for all apps mine still was going wrong and I couldn´t use some apps...the only way I got this fixed was making a reset (from the configs options it self) from all my configurations, just configurations, not all data in the phone, it works fine for now...
now I´m with problem with my mobile data connection, I don´t know if it´s from my brand or my phone...

The message about overlay detected i have seen and experienced a number of times.
BUT the only time this has occurred is when i was using SideSync
i.e. I am using it to Remote control the device using my PC
or am using my PC to display my Phone within my PC screen (So i can use my phone while using the PC)
The warning was being presented by some apps because SideSync was overlaying the screen to mirror it to my PC screen)
As soon as i disconnected this message stopped.
Not am not saying your using SideSync, But any other app you have installed that can mirror / allow remote access or displaying your phone screen on another device like PC may be causing the problem

Did Pokemon enable the game overlay?
Small controller icon that comes up when games like Pokemon are playing - that could be your issue.

Restart when toggling airplane mode on MM roms

Hi guys. New here on xda. Just wanna know if anyone else has this problem. Seems that randomly when I toggle airplane mode my phone suddenly hangs up/freezes for about 20 secs then restarts. Afterwards when the phone boots, I wont be able to access recent apps (Tried binding it to other keys to no avail) and developer options goes missing (tapping the build number didnt do any good on it) I hope I could send some logs to show you guys but I dont know what to send lol.
1. What I know is it randomly triggers when I toggle airplane mode(sometimes it doesnt happen)
2. I only experienced it with the 2nd builds Cm,aospa,aicp.
Anyone else experiencing this on mm roms? Any fixes?:crying:
This happened to me also. Not just with airplane mode toggle. The other toggles set this off to. the phon also lost the ability to go to home screen by pressing home botton. During the first time that this happened to me, switching users restored the developer settings; and the notification drawer if it also disappeared. But now it doesn't work.
You can substitute omni switch for the recents.

Thanks, but I already tried that to no avail. It seems to be something with the modem of build 2 since it only happned to me when I toggle airplane mode and once when I tried to turn hotspot on. Wifi and bluetooth are ok though.
Did you try this?
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
Even Nexus phones experience this. It's some kind of a MM bug.

Do adb commands work without developer settings enabled? Gonna try this anyway though im a bit skeptical. Developer settings also disappears along with the recent apps after the reboot.

You can also use Nova Launcher to start the SetupWizardTestActivity. Just drag the Activities on the homescreen and search for the SetupWizardTestActivity. No need for adb.
