Hi, sorry when the questions is to noobish. But for what are the new binaries good for?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
can we cross our fingers for better camera? :confused:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- No the camera will be the same

- I was hopeful when I saw changes to some camera binaries but tested and it remains the same situation as before

i am having a problem. once i finished a call I can not use the Internet in my phone for about 30 seconds even make another call. has anyone see the same in their devices?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
Thankyou [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] for all your work. You really are Optimus prime.
[Amazon Fire Phone] topcaser:
Just for my understanding: what are the Amazon US Binaries?

Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
[Amazon Fire Phone] cthulhu1987:
The binaries from the stock ROM for the phones marketed in teh US of A, perhaps (correct me, if I'm wrong)?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Hey ggow. Guess what? Building with the US binaries has fixed the 5Ghz wifi! I can now connect to channel 149 in 1300 Mbps ac mode. It would appear my previous assumption was correct that something hidden in the UK binaries was blocking the high band due to regulatory requirements.

Thanks again! If the camera can be solved, the rom will be 100% perfect. You've done outstanding work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hackashaq:
Same here! I can connect to ch 153 now.
[Amazon Fire Phone] rjmohit:
Do we need to update the boot.img for this build to work? If yes, how do I do that? Thanks much!
[Amazon Fire Phone] cmb6:
Low temperatures cause the inaccurately low readings. It happened to me once with my Fire Phone when I unknowingly dropped my phone in the grass on a 40-degree evening. I have not experienced this with other phones, but I try not to make a habit of leaving my phone outside unattended.
[Amazon Fire Phone] paco24det:
I do think that this is what's going on. I wiped and flashed Slimkat, and had the same issue. I never had an issue before with any other phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cthulhu1987:
That'd be so cool. The phone now works much, much better than under this mess called Fire OS, but I miss the barcode scanner apps I loved to use.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Thanks for letting me know :)

- more specifically there have been changes in the latest version related to WiFi and camera and boot.IMG disabling havokd.

- I have been running private USA builds and testing them on previous versions and its only now its fixed within CM

- Happy to hear that one is now fixed
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
is stock camera app removed from the 14-jan build or am i missing it?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Yes, removed because of instability, flash doesn't work etc

- I'll add a note to the change log

- Use Snap Camera HDR or OpenCamera which are the most stable options right now
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- You are correct US = USA.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:

[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Best week EVER for Fire Phone! Casting abilities and ac wireless-a lot can happen in a few days. Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
ok, no problem
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
It still get's better and better. Played around a bit and can confirm: 5 GHz wifi does work now!

[Amazon Fire Phone] GA400:
I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU for this ROM! I have an unlocked Fire Phone that I use as my travel phone when I am out of the US (work provides me with a Verizon phone for use in the US). My work phone is an LG G4 and I thought it was pretty fast, but my Fire Phone with CM11 seems to be much faster in every way. It is so nice to now be able to install all of my apps that I use when traveling, to use for boarding passes, directions, office apps and corporate email/VPN. I am seriously considering traveling without my laptop now, the phone is now so much more functional.
[Amazon Fire Phone] virx14:
Anyone had any luck with skype video calls on this ROM?
[Amazon Fire Phone] JoshMcMadMac:
No, Skype did not work at all and Google Hangouts was dodgy.
[Amazon Fire Phone] smithmal:
First off, BIG THANKS TO THE GGOW for continuing to support this fantastic ROM.

Two issues I'm having with the newest release:

1. The notification bar is clipped when I hold the phone in portrait mode (using Nova Launcher Prime). It is fine when I am in landscape mode

2. I'm still seeing over exposure with my pics when using flash. I'm using Snap Camera HDR. Is there some sort of trick to obtain proper exposure when using the flash?

Thanks,

smithmal
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
The simpliest way to update the boot.img.

1. Download the 4.6.6 stock rom

2. Extract the boot.img and transfer to your device

3. Download Flashify from the Play Store and click on the "Boot image" option.

4. Flash the new boot.img and reboot

I've attached the extracted boot.img for those who don't want to download the entire stock rom
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
is there any advantage for updating boot image?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Same question. The changes from this update are working for me and the rom is running great. Seems to me that would mean updating boot.img is only necessary for the one who builds the rom. Or am i missing something?

Update - - actually think ggow answered this when he refer to the changelog (one page back) that said he used the 4.66 binaries.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Do I need to flash 4.6.6 and then CM again to get the latest build?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I just did a dirty flash as usual and its working fine. There appears to be some question as to whether you should update the boot img.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- If everything works for you then leave it

- if you want to update the boot.IMG then follow [MENTION=690558]Plonko[/MENTION] post #2155

- The only reason I reflashed from scratch is because I wanted to confirm safestrap was still working good with the new update
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
can you explain how to set up snap camera on fire phone to get the best results? thanks

send from hdx 7 using tapatalk
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
FROM [MENTION=5438003]LilLowEK[/MENTION] a few pages back...

Go to other tab and check "advanced settings"

Back to photo tab

Check "zero shutter lag"

Check "denoise"
[Amazon Fire Phone] killer_whale:
upd: after setting Zero Shutter Lag snap camera hdr really does good photos! thanks.

Looks like CM camera should also be configured to have 0 shutter lag
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it!

Why is this happening on the Google now Launcher with the latest build?
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Use nova or built in launcher
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I haven't used the google launcher in ages since cm-11 on the hdx

- However it never worked correctly for me on the hdx devices so gave up with it

- Maybe a CM commit or an update to the launcher broke it
[Amazon Fire Phone] pennyfan87:
Thanks for the awesome ROM!

Here's a weird problem I've been having.

Thought I was crazy until I was able to isolate it.

Fire Phone with Tmobile SIM running CM11, goes into Boot Loop whenever I approach the TMobile 4G LTE Personal Cellspot.

No idea how to fix it.

Also, a possibly related issue:

I've noticed when that after this happens, the phone forgets all WiFi networks and I have to re-enter passwords in order to connect.

Ideas?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- How close are you getting to the hotspot before it reboots?

- Only thing I can think of right now is it sounds like an EMC issue...
[Amazon Fire Phone] stunvn:
No. :highfive:
[Amazon Fire Phone] pennyfan87:
Happens when I enter the house, i guess 100ft or so away. Seems to be when it grabs onto the LTE connection.

Turning off the Cellspot allows my phone to boot normally.

Others were having the same issue here:

[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
I'm running the latest ROM with the Google Now Launcher v1.3.large and Google App v5.7.14.19.arm with no issues. Google App actually creates the App drawer for the launcher. Try clearing the data storage for both apps (you will lose your launcher setup).

I primarily use Nova Launcher now, but checked my Google Now Launcher after seeing your post. I'm kind of a launcher addict, right now I have 8 different launchers on my Fire phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
I uninstalled the Google app and its laggy launcher. My phone runs faster than my useless nexus 6
[Amazon Fire Phone] stunvn:
When should I use the Clean System Partition Flashable zip on the first post?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Only when you want a completely fresh installation.

- Order would be factory reset, system clean partition, ROM, gapps, SuperSU, reboot
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
I've never experienced excessive lag with the Google Now Launcher. In my launcher testing, it was one of the most responsive launchers I tested. The main reason I switched to Nova Launcher was that it had the additional features I wanted without having to expand GEL with the Xposed framework and XGELS.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Nobuddy0816:
Sorry for questioning, but what's the benefit?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Try this:

- Hold the power button down until the phone turns off

- Go back into Safestrap:

- Press the Wipe Button

- Then press Advanced Wipe

- Select all Partitions

- Swipe to wipe

- Reboot
[Amazon Fire Phone] guliver365:
So far so good Google services crashing maybe need to update I love it
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
same here. but it doesn't bug me. I used an updated gapps for CM11. Dont know if that will alter or harm anything, but it's pretty stable.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jd999uk:
Doh! Holding the power button down for longer than I was doing worked fine, thank you.

Rebooted into CM fine, Play Store all working.

Well done for this, excellent work!.

You have to install a browser. Go to the Play Store and get Chrome, or Firefox, or Opera, or Dolphin, or whatever browser you prefer.
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
My logcat reports pretty much the same errors when opening a failed camera app like: Snapchat, google camera.

A guy talks about additional validation requested by a change of a system library in AOSP. Maybe our binaries are failing to validate those changes.

Hi, with exception to the fact I can't use snapchat I am relatively happy on the stock os- has anyone tested snapchat on cyanogenmod or is it one of the apps that doesn't work due to the camera issues?

No Mobile Data on Device now

I did everything as instructed and everything seems to install perfectly. I can make calls and text but I have no Mobile data at all. I didnt notice it at first because I had wifi on but as soon as I turned it off I had no internet connectivity. I am with ATT service provider for your information. I have been flashing and using CM for about 3 years or so and from past experience problems like this have been modem software issues. I have no clue how to fix this any help would be great.

Thank you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
It seems that you didn't flash CM11 over your Stock Rom.

Also, if you've searched this thread a little further your problem would be probably solved by now :)

So, just reboot into recovery again, backup your current "Stock" data, wipe all data(you know what it means) and flash "CM11" over your "Stock" and not another partition.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Rebel0719:
I actually flashed CM11 in the stock slot the first time I flashed it, but I started over just for good measure. Everytime I had the same results, no Mobile data. I flashed it a total of 3 times all in the stock slot in Safestrap and everytime I was able to make calls and text no Mobile data. This mod is soo much better than Fire OS I hope I can find a solution. I should also mention that this phone came to me from Amazon unlocked as part of their $150 deal of the day they had running I would think since my sim card is in that it should recognize my carrier immediately. I also tried removing the sim card and reinserting and rebooting with no change, no mobile service.

Process followed= Wiped data-> Flashed CM11 Rom in stock slot-> Flashed HDX Nexus Gapps-> Reboot
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
Oh sorry, didn't notice you could still message and make calls.

So the only thing that isn't working is mobile data. Well, mine is working fine and it's an AT&T unlocked using a Wind SIM.

Can you check out what your baseband version is?

Also try to mess around with the settings on "Settings -> Mobile Network". It might be just your network operator.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Rebel0719:
Baseband version is : PB_02_06_12

Ive been checking into my Network Operator on my phone and two At&t services show up, I tried both of them neither gave me Mobile data when I clicked on them. Thank you for your help by the way.
[Amazon Fire Phone] davemorg:
I'm having the same issue. Installed last night, everything working great, didnt think to check mobile network until I saw this post. Same baseband version and can call and text.
[Amazon Fire Phone] romario3600:
I don't have the means to confirm this at the moment, but did you check your apn settings and made sure everything is in order?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Rebel0719:
Checked the apn settings and everything is exactly as it should be
[Amazon Fire Phone] UbiquitinJo:
I've been using the Fire phone (which I picked up when it was $160 - arrived Friday) and this ROM all weekend and I have yet to encounter any problems which aren't already documented.

- I've not tried taking flash photos yet, but the camera works perfectly using the Google Camera app. The shutter is fast and the pictures are crisp and clear. I've not found an app which can access the camera yet, but this is a known bug which I'm not worried about.

- Bluetooth works even better than expected! I have an old Fitbit One which is supposed to only sync with a pre-prescribed list of Bluetooth 4.0 devices, but it syncs with the Fire perfectly. My A2DP bluetooth headset works flawlessly, but I'm looking forward to NFC being implemented as it has a nifty "tap to pair" function. I've been using a 1st gen Moto G for a year, though, I think can wait a little longer for NFC!

- I do occasionally see the "Google Play has stopped" error but it doesn't actually break anything and isn't showing up very often. I probably saw it just as much on my stock G.

- Battery life is as you would expect for a device like this, no issues there. I was out all day (3.5 hrs screen-on-time) using Maps, taking pictures and generally browsing using 4G and when I got home I still had 35% battery. Strangely, the battery stats say that the screen only accounted for 8% of that usage, but the cell radio accounted for 30%. This might actually be the case, but my husband's stock Moto X 2014 battery profile looked very different to mine by the end of the day, with his screen being the main battery hog. The X was also at about 35% when we got home, for reference.

- I'm using AcDisplay to show notifications when they come in as the Fire has no notification LED. This is obviously nothing a ROM can fix, just a suggestion for anybody else looking for a solution to that problem.

Thank you so much, ggow, for making the only sub-5", decenly specced phone currently available to purchase new usable!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Skeeterdrums:
So far, I'm loving CM11 on the Fire. The hardware specs are pretty damned good for the price, and this is the cherry on top that makes it a very usable device. Thanks SO MUCH for porting CM11 to this device :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
You can try the following things and hope they work.

Since i'm not too deep in any of this build, all i can tell you are the basic solutions i found by google searching(sorry for that lol)

Try fixing permissions.

Call your operator tell them to reset your data from there(ugh).

Try messing with APN.

Or wait for a future build.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
Also an odd question.

since the phone can run CM11, is it even possible to use OTG usb storage?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
i use trebuchet ang gapp mini they're working great on my phone. i'm freeze some app by titanium backup and will do some more... any suggestions very appreciated.
[Amazon Fire Phone] killer_whale:
Did more tests. Photos still overexposed but better than without these settings :(

Hope ggow will make stock camera working correctly
[Amazon Fire Phone] KingPin:
Battery life seems to have taken a hit after 18 Jan build.

Just 8 and half hours and i am already on 36%.

And 1h 52m of screen on time.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Just flashed and mine looks normal. I'd reflash and clear all cache before booting.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
For taking quick photos and not bothering about HDR and all other crap use geek camera
[Amazon Fire Phone] cthulhu1987:
HDR works in Camera Zoom FX (but not with the front camera).
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Geek Camera interface is better
[Amazon Fire Phone] cthulhu1987:
Ain't it called "GEAK Camera", though? </grammarnazi>
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
Ok I bit, and downloaded GEAK Camera, but ALL my flash pictures are overexposed. I could not find an equivalent setting like is used with Snap Camera HDR to fix the overexposed flash problem. So what settings are you using to fix this issue with GEAK Camera? Camera app recommendation that can't fix the flash issue aren't really helpful for most CM-11 Amazon Fire Phone users. Most of us are interested in taking properly exposed pictures, not which camera app has the best interface.

I really love the built-in sms app. But, I don't know how to remove my avatar in sms conversation. Only show my friend avatar.

I tried QKSMS but sometimes it crash, and too slow, I really don't like it. I prefer to stay with built-in sms app. But, I think they won't support it on CM11 anymore?
[Amazon Fire Phone] krs007:
I have Jan 14th ROM and its pretty stable. Battery life is wonderful for my usage.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dato02:
i think that should be added to FAQ. it was asked many times already (that's just my opinion tho ?).
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
I guess my question is, that if it was enabled in the kernel, is there a chance it just might work anyway? We may never get an unlocked bootloader. I have an OTG flash drive ready for testing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] RalphLauren:
Just quick head-up. Installed the latest rom from 18-01 and my GAPPS were gone. Root stayed intact. Very weird, never happened before that the GAPPS were wiped away.

Never the less, just flashed the latest GAPPS zip and everything is up and running so far.

Really wondering how the battery life will be on the latest ROM( it was less than spectacular on 14-01 build). Maybe deteriorated battery life somehow connected with the migration to 4.6.6 base, don't see any other reason.

And thank you [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION], we are really lucky to have you in our small Fire community!
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
I installed the latest version (a week ago) on my buddies phone and the signal strength is horrible.

We both have T-Mobile, standing side by side. I had 55-60% signal strength while he had 0-10%, no data barely voice.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue? I'll do some looking around when I get a chance. I just really don't want to have to go back to FireOS on it. That was horrible
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Are you saying his phone was actually getting slow speeds or the icon indicated a weak signal? The signal (for myself and others) has been known to register as weak. But I don't pay too much attention to mobile data speeds. My wifi meter tends to drop significantly if I move a wall away but the speed tests tell a much different story.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
See attached pics

This is new (to me anyway) and Im pretty sure it wasnt there in the last update. Also I've used cm 10-13 on other devices and have never seen these options/settings. Not sure what it means...
[Amazon Fire Phone] stunvn:
Something wrong... Everytime i try to download an app from playstore, it won't install until I reboot my phone ... :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
The icon indicated NO signal most of the time and occasionally registered one bar, but that was just for voice. It couldn't get ANY data signal, even 2G/Edge.

I put my phone right next to it and didn't have any issues.

I checked the APN settings (that originally defaulted to MetroPCS for some reason and set it to TMobile. I set it to the TMobile cellular network again just to see if not made any difference, but nothing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] themo44:
This is a huge highly reoccurring problem when I try to make a call it'll say I have no service and end the call in a very popular tower in places where I have full lte a moment before
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Never had this issue. I Guess you need a fresh install.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Signal Strength Indicator

Hey [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION], to help eliminate some of the "CM11 signal is worse than FireOS" posts, would it be possible to adjust the signal strength thresholds to match those in FireOS? AT&T's and Verizon's advertising has done a good job in training people that more bars are better and majority of people use this as the sole measure of network performance rather than digging down into the actual dBm values.
[Amazon Fire Phone] stunvn:
Me too.

And sometimes I can't send an sms, neither.

/edited: i search google "cm11 failed to send message" and seems like it's because of sending over 160 characters sms may cause that.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I'll take a look into it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
So I looked into the settings some more and couldnt figure out what the problem was.

Well, apparently since it defaulted to the MetroPCS APN, he switched it to Tmobile IPv6 LTE.

We switched it to Tmobile LTE (not the IPv6) and it is now working fine.

I didnt think to look at that, because I personally have never had a phone that didnt work with the IPv6 APN.

Can someone else check to see if their device works on the Tmobile IPv6 LTE APN?
[Amazon Fire Phone] mpces:
iPv6 does not work for me on tmobile , lte or 3g.
