This is a pretty normal straight talk problem, especially if you just signed up. From my experience and what I gathered online, MMS doesn't start working until your 2nd billing period if you are a new subscriber. Even then I still have problems getting the stock android messaging app to download MMS texts (works much better with a 3rd party app like Handcent).
[Amazon Fire Phone] CBONE:
Just flashed my wife's new Fire phone today. Very stable! Better than I expected.

A few issues: The camera is terrible. I don't know how much is hardware vs. gimpy camera software as I didn't take any pics before I flashed it. I tried Open Camera and the pictures are noisy and just look crap. Every other camera app was pretty bad, too.

The side hardware key. Is there any way to get that recognized by something?

Started getting the Google Play Services error, but it didn't seem to do anything. All the apps worked like they were supposed to.
[Amazon Fire Phone] escape75:
Stock fire phone camera has amazing quality, beats iPhone 6, not as good as 6 Plus but close.

Easily beats Galaxy S5, as it has OIS.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hestati:
First of all I want to say THANK YOU to ggow

But at the same time, I don't get all the excitement.

We got kitkat, we got a way to root, we can get rid of all the bloatware... Why are you guys so excited about CM11.

FireOS with stock look of Android is freaking stable, some Amazon apps are really useful (including camera). One complaint is push notifications, but otherwise the system is perfect. You're trading it for semi-stable system...

ggow did a great job, but it took Touchpad community almost 3 years to finally release stable ROM for it. These things take time to get right and it's your phone, most of you are probably relying on it!
[Amazon Fire Phone] fuelvolts:
I understand your point, but using a launcher isn't really the same thing. Poor widget reliability and issues with auto updating of apps for me.

I love stock Android. CM is soooo much faster than Fire OS. Everything works for me except camera in apps and NFC.

Yeah it's KitKat, but it's the same thing Fire OS is using and our looks like stock Android. Works for me!
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
I was more or less pleased with my heavily debloated version BUT at that point it was just an Amazon framework with almost everything ripped out. Not a very elegant way.

It's simply about the freedom of choice. CM11 is solid in general, I'm very satisfied with this early version and even if ggow's development ever gets stuck (because of *whatever kind of* difficulties), we could still put a bounty on it and ask for more help.

In my case, it's not the main phone, so I'm more relaxed about the situation and with safestrap, everyone who's interested can take a look and revert back to stock / use a backup if they don't want to use it at this stage of development.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KuroXilla:
Just wanted to say a big thank you for this ggow

Update

- I have started transitioning the Camera libs away from the amazon binaries to been built from source.

- This may take some time but in the long run should enable fixing up of the remaining issues.

Awesome work man. Just got my phone in today after finding this thread a few days ago. Works beautifully. Made an account on here just to say thank you and I also threw a few bucks your way for all of this :D
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
Looking forward to it :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] RainGater:
Are you kidding me? I mean, really?!?

You don't get any excitement... I guess sticking with the stupid-bloated-convoluted-fire-OS is better than almost stable CM 11? CM11 just opens every app in a snap and it feels much better and smoother and performance is second to none.

Except Camera (which works if you use Open Camera), I don't see any issues - it's been running smooth for the past two days without FCs of any kind. Kudos ggow for an amazing ROM - that too for a 2nd release, you just have to tip your hat off :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
everything works fine, sans the random play services has stopped responding, everything is good.

just waiting on the camera and hopefully maybe further development(maybe cm12.1?). Either way this makes my phone fly compared to the lousy fire OS. Thanks.

Hey,

Any guides on how to install safestrap. Just got one of these phones.
[Amazon Fire Phone] romario3600:
It has been explained before if you search for it a little more, in any case its just an apk that u side load and execute, there isn't much to do to install it, just ensure your device is rooted and running 4.6.1 fire OS.

Stuck on CM logo after flashing....

Hello. I've followed the above and after rebooting, the phone is currently stuck on the CM logo and has been for 45 minutes.

The phone is not responding to button presses, so I cannot even turn it off.

Is it possible to make a boot time faster?
[Amazon Fire Phone] topcaser:
And what do you recommend me?

[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Bootmanager should speed up boot time some but you need xposed installer. If there's another way to do it I'd be interested but I'm pretty satisfied with boot time. Is it an unusually long boot up for you?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
Not really it took a minute from start to finish my other phone took half of that time..i keep it on all the times . i want to use fire phone as daily use but still not perfect yet.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I timed it at 48 seconds (boot manager installed). Of course I hit the button on safestrap to boot right into the rom. Not the fastest but not terrible either. For me it's not an issue. Sometimes I go a few days without rebooting. Think slimkat boot time was quicker but I like CM better for this phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
thanks... so it normal.(50-60 second)

let's ask other fire owner... how fast you boot time?
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
1000 times faster than my useless nexus 6. Around 40 to 50 seconds

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

It is my daily driver for past 4 months. I have a nexus 6 sitting in my drawer. I like this phone because of it's physical home button and many other ways to wake the phone thanks to this ROM. It is also very nippy and doesn't lag as much as my nexus 6 when opening too many apps
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Hi there, I just noticed one thing that's a bit odd you may want to try to reproduce. I use my recent key fairly often, sometimes to switch between apps and other times to close apps that I'm done with. Well, it appears the first time clicking it doesn't show a true list of open applications. If I just click home and then click recent again I see the full list of running apps. Are you or is anyone else able to reproduce this?

It's surely not a deal breaker at all, I just like to make sure I force quit an IP camera app to make sure it's not eating up data in the background.
[Amazon Fire Phone] HForHacks:
I have this issue too.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hackashaq:
Yes, I've noticed this too.
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
This issue is not unique to the CM-11 Fire Phone ROM. I see the exact same issue on my wife's Samsung Galaxy S III running the stock factory OS (Jellybean 4.3).
[Amazon Fire Phone] adamx:
What exact version of gapps works best? Mine keeps crashing or at least telling me that google services has stopped. I've tried mini and micro, from the link here. Is there an older version that's better somewhere?

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Make sure you use the correct version of Gapps for this phone (So any arm 4.4 version) I use the Mini version of Open Gapps.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adamx:
Do you know what version and where I can download it from if not the newest? I just downloaded the mini today.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
You can download Open Gapps from opengapps.org . I've had no problems with Open Gapps but I use an older version I downloaded about 2 months ago.

(open_gapps-arm-4.4-mini-20151029)
[Amazon Fire Phone] llenp:
I haven't had any issues with opengapps (I use pico, btw). Was opengapps the one and only version of gapps you tried? Because, if you happened to install a different gapps, and then proceed to install opengapps, the installer doesn't actually remove the older version. (See question 1 in FAQ from post #3)

If not, try the usual dalvik and cache wipe.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adamx:
Only ever tried opengapps, and wipe dalvik and cache each time I flash anything. But as soon as the phone boots, "google play services has stopped". It could be other apps like greenify or some app permissions changes causing it, but I only do what I must to save battery life, it's not optional.

Is there a way to totally wipe gapps off the phone without deleting other apps/data/settings?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I believe that's what cleansystempartition zip does but not sure if its still linked here. If you cant find it let me know and ill try to get it for you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adamx:
That appears to wipe out a bunch of stuff, not just the gapps.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
it appear to me it fix something not working right before.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Im almost certain its flashed so you can change your gapps package then you can flash CM without losing your rom settings, but its been awhile since ive used it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Nobuddy0816:
From my point of view the battery lifespan under cm11 is great and better than under fireos. I don't use any taskkiller-app or anything to improve battery life, and have a duration of at least 1,5+ days with approx 30% and more left by normal usage. Check the screenshots.

Greenify might be the cause of closing the play services.

I have no issues at all with gapps and services using latest cm11 from 23. dec and opengapps micro.

Opengapps was flashed once initially on the change from fire os to cm 11 and was never touched again except the internal updates from google itself.

Works like charm.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adamx:
This is maddening.

1.5 days is nice, but I'm looking more at 15 days, 99% of it standby for someone who doesn't use it very often and forgets to charge it even more so (not like us who just put the phone to charge every night).

And yes, it is doable. Just not easy. I have another phone that I can get well over 30 days on standby just using it's power save mode.
[Amazon Fire Phone] appelsaft:
Since last update i have a high battery drain, too. I dont play any game, just some twitter, facebook and gogle plus.

Usually i came over a whole day without any problems. Yesterday evening my phone was on 45%, this morning it was fully discharged.

I can deal with it, its just not 'normal'.

Except that, this rom is running like a charm.
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
Your posted battery profile looked similar to mine. One anomaly I don't understand, is that I have Wi-Fi and Cell Standby both using 22% of my battery. I have no SIM card in my phone and the mobile data is turned off. I strictly use my phone on Wi-Fi using my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 as a mobile hotspot (yeah I know that's ironic, my $700 Note 4 is delegated most of the time as a slave to my $30 Fire Phone). Why am I losing 22% of my battery to cell standby when the cell modem should be turned off? I am using the Dec 23 build of the CM-11 Fire Phone ROM. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I can help explain this a bit more

- From what I read I believe our reported battery stats are not accurate

- Normally what would happen is our hardware manufacturer would do some power measurements and generate an xml file specifying the current drain caused by specific components over a period of time.

- This is then used by android to determine battery usage stats

- Amazon's framework does not implement this in a standard way

- I have basically modified CM framework to account for this and enable a dummy profile

- If I had the power consumption data for each component then I could easily fix this
[Amazon Fire Phone] Nobuddy0816:
I'm not very big into it, but i think to disable mobile data will not disable the cell modem at all, it's just disabeling the mobile data usage.

Also a missing sim card does not auto disable any phone functionalities. Keep in mind you can always do emergency calls, so phone functions have to keep up and running (and consuming battery)!

I have a moto razr i and have modified it to be a simple mp3 player. To reach the maximum battery life time i can get (with my skills and possibilities), i used titanium backup to freeze (disable) all unwanted servcices to be sure, they don't eat my battery. So i think you have to perm kill all unwanted services to get, what you want.

I'm using SystemPanel Task Manager to check the running (background) tasks (lite version free, full version 0,99$).

Lock Screen Rotation

Is there a way to disable the lock screen rotation?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Settings/Display/ and its somewhere in there
[Amazon Fire Phone] JoshMcMadMac:
You will have to be more specific, because the only setting I can find is for auto-rotation in general. I just want it to stop specifically on the lock screen.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Oh. No Ive got nothing specific. My only suggestion would be to look for an xposed mod they may accomplish what you want. Doesn't appear to be a way to do it with CM settings but i could be wrong.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Linked it in the downloads section of the OP
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
Please eleborate me, if i use cleansystempartition.zip then there will be no file left in /system/, whereas /data folder will remain uneffected?
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Swipe down, click the top right button to toggle to quick menus, and click auto rotate. That will lock the rotation. If it says rotation locked click it to enable screen rotation.

Is that what you're looking for?
[Amazon Fire Phone] cell2011:
Can this partition zip be flashed on top on CM and gapps after setup?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Yes, only "/system". Let's look at the script:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");
ui_print("[B]/System partition is now clean[/B]");
ui_print("[B]You need to now flash a new ROM[/B]");

Wouldn't recommend it. Reason: see script above.
[Amazon Fire Phone] JoshMcMadMac:
No. I want to turn off auto-rotation for the lock screen, not the home screen.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Nothing is impossible, ggow will figure it out soon

[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Thank you for this it worked
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Never even considered editing the buildprop for this. Thanks for sharing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
OK now what about home screen rotation. I use my phone on a dock in landscape mode and I would love my home screen to also rotate to landscape mode just like iPhone 6 plus
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
What do you mean? The homescreen can be set to auto rotate (settings/Display). The solution posted above prevents the lockscreen from doing the same. If you want both lockscreen & homescreen to rotate just go into settings. If you dont want the lockscreen rotation, edit the build.prop
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
No no no. I wanted to stop my lock screen from rotating which I fixed with build prop. Now I want the actual launcher screen to rotate when I rotate my phone. The normal auto rotate under setting is only for apps such as video photo and some others.

Apps such as the launcher and phone app does not rotate when holding phone in landscape mode
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Ok. Maybe I don't understand because I always use nova launcher. It auto rotates fine. Apps are hit & miss (at least the ones i tested) but i usually keep my phone in portrait.

Happy New Year everyone

now with the new update 12/23 and gapp mini.... it's appear to me there are a lot of features improvement

... the physical camera button work as app button to take pictures

... the notification working great now.

... there are more but i don't know yet.

- Look for these settings in build.prop:

- Both are disabled by default

# launcher rotation setting
# VERBOSE = enabled
# SUPPRESS = disabled
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=SUPPRESS

# lockscreen rotation
lockscreen.rot_override=false
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Mine is like this should I enable the one that is disabled
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:

- If you want to enable home screen rotation then set:

log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
What happens if I enable suppress
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- SUPPRESS is the normal behaviour (home screen rotation disabled)

- VERBOSE means home screen will be rotated

i don't know what happens if is the same apk or the newer build but snap camera is the one camera apk that i have been using since i have installed cm11 , but the last update from december i couldn't save the video recording at 1080p it just stayed at 720p, open camera have been working normal but the hardware button camera does not work, it just vibrates and nothing happens with snap hardware button works. Wish Amazon unlock the bootloader it has been a good phone for the price i got it $57.50 and sim unlocked but the camera thing is really annoying and i my case i have the issue of the keyboard at dialing numbers and in calls that doesn't work properly. Might have to change to a G3 or a Droid Turbo.

New version works well for me. (I could say: As usual ?)

I have just one issue that the previous two builds showed as well: Google Play Music closes immediately after updating from 6.1 to 6.2 and than after each start (tried several times in the past weeks). I solved this every time by downgrading to 6.1 again.

edit: Sometimes the SuperSU pop-up does not react on any input. I can hit "accept" or "deny" but nothing happens until time is over. Did anyone else notice this?

Have a nice 2016!

I am currently using Google Play Music v6.2.222U4.2493459 with the Dec 23rd release with no issues.

Also the latest version of Snap Camera HDR (both paid and trial) available to me in the Play Store is version 6.5.2, which works great on the Fire Phone.

The last two builds have been extraordinarily stable for me. Thank you.

the Latest build 1/4 is superb... thank you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I'll second that. XDA ran a story on custom roms recently and the comments were loaded with users complaining about CM bugs. It runs great for a bit then theres lag and random reboots. That was pretty much my experience before using this rom ��

*my only concern isnt really major. 5ghz is still not working in ac mode. Other than that its perfect for my needs. [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION], the changelog for 7/15 build says you made changes to wifi config and it might help with not needing to set the channel on 5ghz (it worked). Is it possible to explain what was changed there? Im just wondering if i could spot it and make the change myself. Or would it be a lot more complex? Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
It would appear that USB OTG (On-The-Go) does not work with the Amazon Fire Phone stock OS (at least 4.6.1). Does changing to CM-11 allow for USB OTG to work or is USB OTG limited to hardware?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Havent attempted that yet, but have you tried stickmount? I had to use that on stock fire tv before amazon enabled usb storage. It does need to be rooted.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
it's not work with fire phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
Yes I tried stickmount. I used it for the fire tv box like you did. It worked great for the Fire TV but doesn't seem to work with the phone. I have root so that isn't the problem. I tried emailing Stickmount's developer but no reply so far. If you have an OTG cable (its a cheap cable one side USB and one side micro usb) please give it a shot. You can test it with a flash drive that has led's on it or an Xbox 360 controller just to see if the device you plug up lights up. If it does then OTG works on CM-11. That would be the only reason why I would spend the time moving everything over to CM-11 from stock is if OTG works. I plan to use it for VR (Virtual Reality) goggles and just games in general.

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

So your saying it is a hardware limitation? Or are you just saying it doesn't work on the stock fire phone and may work on CM-11?

it's not mount (work) on cm11
[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
Thanks for letting me know.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] Any idea why USB OTG doesn't work or how one could get it to work?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- It's not enabled in the kernel

- It may even be disabled from the bootloader but haven't checked

- Also the hardware may not be wired up for OTG to function

- It's not something worth looking into until we have an unlocked bootloader
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Thank you for your continued support. I'm downloading this now and will install it in a moment, will report back if I see anything weird as this is my daily driver.

On a side note, is there anyway to enable the screen cast in the swipe down menu, the same menu that has wireless, torch, airplane mode, etc?
