Nice password

[airmaxx23]

@sonicfan10461; What are you talking about, my password isn't shown at all.

[sonicfan10461]

@airmaxx23 Lol i mean like your lock password for your phone, all you have to do is slide it to the right and it opens. If thats not a password for your phone then im retarded =3

[airmaxx23]

@sonicfan10461; Umm, it's a Kindle Fire...Tablet...that I use to play games on and browse the web with, I don't need a password for it. I don't even use the lock screen anymore.

I installed widget locker on my kindle fire. When i go to enable root helper, it will not let me select that option. My Kindle is rooted. Any thoughts?

[airmaxx23]

@custer175; Go into settings >applications and find Widget Locker, then clear the data for it and restart it.

how to you change your screen lock?. and btw you should make a tutorial on how to customize your screen. It would a lot of reviews #

[kcos54]

What theme is that?

[airmaxx23]

@kcos54; It isn't a theme or ROM, it's the stock OS with Go Launcher EX running instead of the stock carousel launcher. I made all of the icons with the Simple Text app, the switches are Switch Pro.

Is the widget locker you have the one that is 3$?

[serenaml16]

Ok...now tell me how to disable the kindle lock screen oh wise one. :-)

[airmaxx23]

@serenaml16; lol, once you install Widget Locker your stock lock screen should no longer show up.

[serenaml16]

You.are.A.Genius! LOVE My custom Kindle!  Thanks sooooo much! :-)

[serenaml16]

OMGooooodness!! I figured it out!! Yaay! Thank you soooo much! Now if you can help me figure out why my wallpaper disapears every time my screen locks...life will be complete! :)

[airmaxx23]

@serenaml16; Here's how to make your wallpaper stick. Go into data/data/com.android.settings­­/files and long press on wallpaper and select permissions. They should currently be: Owner XXX Group XOX Other XOX. To make the wallpaper stick change them to: Owner XOX Group XOX Other OOO. Then just back out, the only thing is when you want to change wallpapers you need to go back in and change it to the original permissions, then just change them back once your done.

[serenaml16]

ok I have it downloaded...but it isn't giving me swype as an option....

[airmaxx23]

@serenaml16; Long press on a text field and select input method, then select swype.

[serenaml16]

@airmaxx23 only gives me kindle keyboard. :(

[airmaxx23]

@serenaml16; Are you sure you installed the installerm then ran it and installed swype?

[serenaml16]

@airmaxx23 OMGosh!! I am going blind! lol... I did every thing you said...but, when I go to a text field it doesn't show swype as an option...since you have done this successfully, I REALLY think you should do us all a favor and put up a tutorial!  :) Pretty PLEEEEEASE?? lol

[airmaxx23]

@serenaml16; If you can't get the installer to download grab it out of one of your other Android devices from the data/app folder and install it. If Swype won't download grab the Swype app from the same folder and install that instead.

[airmaxx23]

@serenaml16, It's an app called Widget Locker, you can get it from the Android Market.

[serenaml16]

Do you know how to replace the lock screen?

[serenaml16]

Please tell us how you got your fire to work like that. My fire is rooted. And I have market place, but haven't figured out swype yet or the launcher thing. Thanks!

[airmaxx23]

@serenaml16; Swype:

1) Download installer from your beta email 2) Log in 3) Select Beta 4) Installed keyboard 5) Use root explorer and navigated to /data/apps 6) Move the swype keyboard apk file to /system/apps 7) Make sure permissions are rw-r--r-- 8) Rebooted device 9) Long press on a text field, select input method, then swype 10)When you use swype it will Force Close 11)Go back into system/app and press install on the swype apk

12)Then delete the apk from system/app and reboot

[serenaml16]

@airmaxx23 When I try to download the beta from the email it says that I am not on an android device...any suggestions?

[airmaxx23]

@serenaml16; The launcher is Go Launcher EX which you can find in the Market, just download it and install it. Then when you press home select Go Launcher.
