All,
I've got the cm10.1 ROM on my fire and I love the keyboard where you can long press for numbers. The Nexus 7 doesn't have this stock, curiously, so I tried to pull the apk from the fire and it would install and even show up in the settings but I whenever I brought up the keyboard it didn't have the numbers. I did some searching but couldn't find anything. Any thoughts on how I could get this AOSP keyboard for the N7 w/o root?
Thanks peterb

Personally, id just change the layout of the stock keyboard to PC. I find out significantly more convenient to have the dedicated fourth row of number keys than having to long press.

How does one do that? I don't see that in any of the options menus.

OK, I figured out how to do that with the input settings menu. I've got to say, I'm not all that excited about the PC layout even though it looks like it would be perfect for a 10" tablet I think that the N7 is a bit too small. Still hoping to be able to get the keyboard from the CM10.1/SGT7 rom.

Found the answer. I did an adb pull and grabbed the LatinLME.apk from the fire. I then pushed it to the Nexus 7 to sdcard. I then opened up my file manager and it installed. Once installed I originally couldn't figure out how to activate it. I figured out that if you go into the language and input settings you can change the default to the AOSP keyboard you just installed and are then good to go. While I could have rooted it I'm wanting to keep it stock to keep getting otas. The fire is for flashing ROMs
Hope this helps someone else.

Hey Everyone! I've mostly been pleased with the stock keyboard packaged with Hashcode's CM9 release. However, I want a keyboard that splits down the middle when the Fire is turned into landscape mode. I'm trying out Swiftkey 3 now, and liking it so far. What keyboards have people thought were especially well suited to the fire?
Thumb keyboard

I use thumb keyboard as well.
thumb keyboard by far.. i use type 2 7" layout and it makes typing sooo much better..
Hrm ok, I'll give Thumb Keyboard a whirl next. Looks like there isn't a free version for me to try though.
Is there anyway to get a trial of the thumbs keyboard?

I use SwiftKey. I never type in landscape so it works great for me.
SwiftKey Tablet 3..... My favorite by a mile. Not only for split keyboard, but for the great work that they have done with predictions
Works great on both 10 and 7 tabs

I've tried I think all of them and I regularly switch back to Thumb Keyboard and the new Swype Beta. Thumb for landscape and Swype for portrait. If I had to choose, i'd stick with Thumb though.
I love the Swype Beta (in portrait mode). Plus the Hacker keyboard for connectbot.
Can't find Swype beta, is it under a different name?

I keep coming back to swype, in fact it was the reason I initially rooted my kindle fire.
Thanks, got it.
Not bad, but no easy a access to the asterisk *, very odd. I don't think I've ever had to search for such a basic key before :-(

I've been using both Swype Beta and Hacker keyboard for the same things. I've been through a number of keyboards and Swype beta has been my favorite for general use. I was using Thumb keyboard for connectbot until I discovered hacker keyboard a couple weeks ago and haven't looked back.
Hey all,
Simple questions about apps on the Nexus 7. I also have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and have noticed that the same apps I am downloading on the Nexus 7 are different interfaces. Is the Nexus 7 using the phone version of apps? and is there a way to get the tablet version of the apps on the Nexus?
Thanks!
Hybrid. Some apps will use the tablet layout, like YouTube and Gmail, but others will use the phone layout. Thus why it has a hybrid home screen...

Thanks for the reply
I somehow don't feel the need to see an extra pane showing me labels and all. On top of that I think it's killing the precious space. I just like the plain jane look with just the email list or the email details.
Is there a way to turn off the panels ? I would want to get the same look as what I had in my NOTE.
Can't believe that no one replied here.

Its because of the phablet UI, the app is the same on both devices so sideloading won't do a thing

i want to know what they changed
Someone here at XDA has the update (I forgot who), why not ask them? :fingers-crossed:
I'm guessing it's probably just some bug fixes like 7.3.1, or something minor along those lines.

Bluetooth mouse is supported, I have two BT keyboards with touchpad that I've paired successfully. One is Logitech Mediaboard Pro PS3 and other Woxter K600. Its a laugh to see the little pointer in the Kindle screen....

could someone add otg support to stock?
Mass storage is the real benefit of otg, all the other connections can be made efficiently by bluetooth or wifi. I think....

Does someone know yet the changes of the new update?.
KIndle Fire HD Update is happening
Updated to 10.3.2? It seems there is even a NEWER update! :crying:
There is a new update for KF & KF HD!
KF2: 10.4.1
KF HD 7: 7.4.1
KF HD 8.9: 8.4.1
Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...x36E18S96DJXEU
Here is what it says:
"We have a new, free software update available for Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, Kindle Fire HD 7", and Kindle Fire HD 8.9: In addition to bug fixes and performance improvements, the software update adds the following features to your Kindle Fire:
* Language Support for Canadian English and Canadian French - You can now change your device language to Canadian English and Canadian French.
* Show Battery Percentage in the Status Bar - You can now see the total percentage of battery life left when you enable this feature from the Device menu."
"This update automatically downloads and installs for Kindle Fire 7", Kindle Fire HD 7" and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" customers; however, you can also manually download the software and update your device using the USB cable."
. . . According to some of the posts at the site, it seems to add a digital battery meter, but not many other differences for the user (unless you're Canadian, then you get a more robust language package).
I have not been updated, but I am running Kinology now, and also my update file has been renamed!
But after root I have 1 black screen in Apex launcher. Anybody have problems like that? Methods to overcome? Please Help. Thank you very much
So I just got the damn update

I`m getting black screen on all launchers, seems amazon want to make it there device, only rooted it a few days ago and it then decided to unroot itself and mess up apex laucher.
Anyway rooting was easy used UnlockRoot.com free rooting application and it seems work, superuser is back and working fine :laugh:
Now I need to find out what service is Making the wallpaper black and, tried many apps to counter it but it just blacks everything out, dont fancy installing a new Rom as the amazon Rom works fine ( with another launcher ) Plus the fact I use the kindle as a kindle, so the ugly interface is handy to keep.
If anyone has solved it please post it, as I miss my Wallpaper!!!

Thanks to all the help I've received, I was finally able to root my KFHD, installed bootloader and TWRP and went as far as flashed Chameleon. After having trying this out for a couple of days, I'm thinking of experimenting with other things. If I want to install say, AWD or Go launchers, I wou ld need to wipe through TWRP correct? I can't simply put the apk files in the sdcard and install, correct?
If you flashed chameleon, shouldn't you have flashed gapps as well so you could simply install those launchers from Google play so you don't need to side load them?

Hi Stunts, yes I do have Gapps. I guess I'm just confused as to whether Chameleon is the "OS" or is it considered a launcher. I didn't want to overwrite Chameleon by accident and brick my KFHD.
I haven't used chameleon before, but its the os, and if it is also a launcher it wouldn't break anything, you are given the choice what launcher you want to use. One doesn't overwrite the other.
