Hi, you wrote that the camera doesn't always work correctly. Does the optical stabilizer work with this ROM?

Sent from my Galaxy S5
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
I am afraid I dont have any fishy apps that I know of.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Have you tried this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Is this under avast settings or under normal phone settings
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Avast settings
[Amazon Fire Phone] blingybeats:
I love the rom, it's making my Amazon fire an actual phone not a dump by Amazon, though.. I'm waiting for a fix for snapchat ..any updates about that? ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] adam.nox:
ok someone help me. I clear all caches, reboot, my phone still acts like it remembers everything from before I rebooted. Like download list, etc. May or may not be proper behavior.

The problem is I can't get xposed installed correctly. I install it, it just says that it's not active and asks me if I have rebooted. This is on the latest rom and xposed 2.6.1.

I don't get it, what am I missing? I searched for keyword xposed and didn't seem to find anything peculiar about installing it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
What exactly did you try? After you installed "xposed installer" (this is not yet the xposed framework) you have to open it and make it install the actual framework, and then reboot.

[Amazon Fire Phone] adam.nox:
Sounds stupid, but I couldn't find that option in 2.6.1, maybe I am blind. I then got 2.5.1 and saw it right away. It seems to be working now. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
This worked flawlessly.

A friend of mine got a Fire phone as a cheap option for his first smart phone (Encino Man) . Only 130, with 1yr Amazon prime is hard to turn down.

Upon playing with it, the FireOS sucked and is what really killed this phone (along with initial pricing above $399)

But when playing with it, I found I cab get temporary root with KingoRoot (works until reboot). Then my eyes lit up and I started looking for a recovery and saw safestrap was one-click flash. So... One click root, One click Recovery...

Then I saw a stable CM11... The phone now runs much smoother and is much more intuitive. Myy friend is no longer thinking about downgrading to a "Jitterbug".

This ROM saved this device from the garbage that is FireOS.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
The home button on my Fire Phone seems to not work anymore. It still works for turning on the phone but not actually using it to go to the home screen .Any Ideas on how to fix it?
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
I have assigned it to turn screen on and double tap to turn screen off and answer call. To go to home screen I use the on screen nav buttons in this ROM. Go to settings thoroughly you will find it
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
The on-screen home button doesn't work either.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
I think you need a fresh install. Mine works 100% everything apart from video camera on some apps
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
I did a clean install of CM. The home button now works fine now.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Glad to hear. Now enjoy your fast phone
[Amazon Fire Phone] FrogReborn:
This works smoothly.

But some applications are unable to call the camera. The applications can not read QR code, can not shoot video.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Mine works
[Amazon Fire Phone] forzasalva:
What did you do to make it work?

I'm trying to use WhatsApp Web but the internal WhatsApp QR Reader doesn't work and the camera is very laggy.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
My camera is not laggy cuz I use geak camera app. I installed cm gapps su, rebooted system then did a full factory reset from safetrap recovery and installed cm gapps again then wiped cache. Rebooted system and set up my phone
[Amazon Fire Phone] forzasalva:
And with this procedure you're also able to use QR Reader and for example WhatsApp Web?
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
No [emoji45] but camera works without lag
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Good news for NFC!

- I have spent a fair amount of time reverse engineering some of Amazon's shared lib files

- I now having working NFC, to what extent I'm not sure yet. I'll be testing it tonight

- But when I place another device to the Fire Phone I get that familiar sound :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
Congrats bro...

BTW which theme do use? Based on the screenshoots, it looks great...
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Thanks :)

- CM11 Flux Theme - have it on my tablet too

- It does look really good.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
I just Boughy this theme it looks awesome
[Amazon Fire Phone] forzasalva:
Great news. This Rom is getting better and better. You free our FirePhones from this real garbage called FireOS. Maybe soon we will have a fully working camera. :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Puzzling problem for me... Sdcard/twrp shows no backup when i connect to my mac. But it is there on my phone and in that spot. Only thing i think i changed recently was switching to solid explorer from ES. I'll probably sort it out but thought I'd post on the chance someone has an idea what mightve happened. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- The reverse engineering work I have done could lead to a fully working camera

- If there are any developments I'll keep you all posted
[Amazon Fire Phone] cammerv8:
Men even if it is kitkat, just a stable fully working cm11 is excelent to give the firephone new life and further compatibility

Enviado desde mi HTC6525LVW mediante Tapatalk
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I personally favour KitKat over Lollipop especially running with a nice theme like Flux

- I reserve judgement on Marshmallow until I try it out

- The ROM has been stable for a very long time, it's just NFC and camera (especially the camera) that have been a bugbear

- I'm hoping to change that.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cammerv8:
I like thw visuals of lollipop (i think i was tired of the black and transparent black on previous android OS)

The camera is a feature most people use, even more so when snaptchap is very popular, and has to be the app with most problems with the cam.

I hope you crack the code [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] . even more so i hope you release the bootloader from amazons grip.

NFC

- OK been doing some NFC tests

- I was able to read my Debit Card Details with Credit Card Reader App

- And read a key entry card

- Very basic tests but show it's all functional :)

- I'll prepare a release so you can all try out your NFC devices and give some feedback
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Could be the media scanner service hasn't updated the media cache yet.

- Try rebooting your phone and check again
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
New Build is Up - NFC Fixed

- Dated 2015-11-25

- I have updated the information on the OP

- Change log on Post #2

- I haven't got any NFC devices like speakers etc so please feedback on what you find when trying
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Well this might not be too helpful. I know little about it. Only thing i have in my house are my son's amibos. But tap it on the back of the phone and it yields info about the product. Pretty cool. Im only just learning about it. NFC Stickers and tags are cheap on ebay. Seems to work as it should. Thanks!

Update--Only one issue for me. 5ghz is no longer in range. I could probably get it back by changing channel to 40-48 but when i do that i default to wireless N and get significant drops in speed.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Battery Life

- In build Dated 2015-11-25

- I forgot I fixed a bug causing the phone to not enter Deep Sleep Mode as it should in Standby

- This should bring improved battery life

- Added this to the changelog
[Amazon Fire Phone] Farlicimo:
ggow, you updated the comments about the camera in the last build. Has the functionality changed with the last update or were you just making the situation clearer?
[Amazon Fire Phone] MrSalue:
Hey need help Audrey while I was using the phone I don't know what I did but all the icons and became small how can I make t he m big again
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:

- I am going to update the OP again later. I'll put a table in with more clarity about the state of each feature
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:

- I have added a table showing the status of each feature on the phone

- Hopefully this will offer more clarity going forward.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ilsi:

[Amazon Fire Phone] Farlicimo:

[Amazon Fire Phone] forzasalva:
I just tested NFC on Credit card and my Soundbar. Perfect. The last thing (for me) is the camera. And then this Rom will be perfect for my purposes.

MTP File Transfer

- I noticed there was a report of the phone not showing up when connecting to a computer

- This may help

- Go into Settings->Storage

- Click on the 3 vertical dots in the top right corner

- Select "USB computer connection"

- Then select Connect as "Media device (MTP)"

- Your phone should then appear as a Media Device
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Report this one as a bug, definitely need smartwatch support on our new Fire Phones.

[Amazon Fire Phone] adam.nox:
IMO, open camera does not work as well as the built in app for taking pictures, especially when using flash. (nm I see you think it's infeasible. I hope you find out otherwise. Maybe implement some faux-framework?)

I am watching this though, as I think eventually I'm going to have to make the switch, there's too much wrong with fire OS.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:

[Amazon Fire Phone] romario3600:
If anyone is interested, switching from dalvik to ART has reduced the number of google crashes I see, only had 1 in the past 2 days. Please note the phone will lag a bit for the first day then smoothen out. (Currently using the full hdx zip)
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Thanks, I will start 'logcating' later today, let's hope for the best. :fingers-crossed:

For everyone who wants to try ART as well: Settings ➜ scroll down to "developer options" ➜ tap "select runtime" ➜ tap "ART" ➜ "OK" to reboot the device

And for everyone who doesn't know how to get 'developer options': Settings ➜ scroll down to "about" ➜ tap "build number" quick & repeatedly until you are informed that you have gained developer status

[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
yesterday, i flashed the latest build everything went fine but the sim was not detected i opened the testing menu(*#*#4636#*#*) to check weather the right band is selected and when i selected the radio band from 3 dot menu in phone information what i saw was a heck lot of bands available, in past only two were available Euro and US even selecting the proper band didn't work. So i reflashed the rom and strangly everything went normal sim working properly from the start and two bands available in testing menu. What i want to know is there anyway to unlock all hidden bands available in CM11 because i get strong 3g signals in house but in university only strong 2g signals are available and even selecting 2g from mobile network settings cause dropouts and i need to reset radio to recieve signals, so maybe selecting a 2g only band(was available in first case) may fix my 2g signal dropout problem. I can confirm that 2g never dropout in uni because i have tested my sim on nokia x2. Please help me.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Just an observation... Anyone getting more random reboots since the last update? Happened to me about 5 times in 4 or 5 days, compared to none that i noticed in the last build. Im also having the app "boot manager" quiting unexpectedly when i install a new app.

Entirely possible its just me. I push this phone fairly hard with xposed mods. Thanks.

Anyone got Android Pay working? It's no longer complaining about the lack of NFC, but when I try to enter a CC# into the app, it pauses a bit and then says "Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible."

A quick search of that error reports it's related to SuperSU, but I'm not using that.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cammerv8:
I got my test fire phone onto cm11 thanks ggow.

One thing i couldn't do was use android beam to test the nfc. Don't know if it is working.

Everything else is working, even the stock camera app. the only thing that isn't working is snapchat cam.

I've been using xposed since day 1 on Fire Phone CM11. I have used them on MANY different devices with CM past and present. And I'm not the only xposed user with CM by a long shot (not even among CM 11 Fire phone users).

So far, with this particular device I've dealt with 2 issues, decline in battery life (marginal) and MAYBE?--this recent occurrence of random reboots which has not happened yet today. I'm aware of the potential consequences but after considerable testing that amounts to disabling/uninstalling the mod or the ultra rare worst case scenario of flashing a backup. For me it's worth all the extras or as you'd say "crap". :)

*I will say that if it was an xposed related issue it was carelessness on my part. Usually I enable one at a time so if some funny behavior pops up I can usually pin point it. But I like modding my phone. If I tire of that I have a backup plan called the Apple Store:good:

I used Swipe Navigation [root] to disable the navbar and map the swipe back function. Worked very well. I'm back on FireOS now so can't be sure but I'm pretty sure I used xposed additions to handle the home button mapping.

When I bought my Fire phone I had a very bad time dealing with sim signal drop out. For almost two weeks it was just a pain in the butt. Finally after tons of research I figured out that it was a problem with my faulty sim cut. Although the sim was working perfectly fine in other devices, the device sim detection chip was very sensitive, so I replaced the sim with real/standard nano sim, the problem was solved and since then I no sim issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Brandon4466:
The link is updated as soon as a new update is released!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
My sim is working perfectly fine, what my problem is that if i lose 3g signals they got recovered as soon as i am in the coverage zone but if i use 2g only mode and i lose signals they don't get recovered automatically, i have to turn airplane mode on and off to reset radio and start receiving 2g signals while this is not the case with 3g.

Has anyone commented on video support for the default camera? It's not something I use often but I did use it quickly to grab a cool video of my puppy. When I went to play it back the framerate was bad, almost as if it was in slow motion. There was also no audio recorded with it. I played it back with two different apps with the same result. A test video shoot in OpenCamera produced fine results.

Has anyone else reproduced this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- The stock cm-11 camera app, I have found to be buggy this way too.

- The flash also doesn't work

- I'd still recommend OpenCamera or Snap Camera for the time being.

Yup, I've experienced the other issues. I wanted to message you to add it to the table if it wasn't just a bad flash on my part. I'm sticking with open camera for the time being.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

I thought maybe the new edition of nfc was causing the issue with 5ghz (works but only channels 40 to 48). My router needs to be set to auto channel to enable 80 mhz ac.

So i thought maybe disabling nfc would bring 5ghz back in range... No luck.

The answer is probably beyond my abilities to fix it but just wondering if you have any theories on what caused the 5 ghz dropout with the latest update. Like maybe any differences in code. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I'm not sure why you experiencing the issues you are having

- Although the changes were extensive in this version due to the patching of the binaries it shouldn't have affected WiFi.

- If I got it wrong then the whole ROM would be a heap on the floor (I experienced that while making the patches)

- I now have a HG633 5GHz TalkTalk Router and using the Fire Phone on 5GHz I have not noticed any issues
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Hmmm... Well Im not an expert but I think maybe the UK uses different frequencies? And by NO means is this a priority but doesnt the UK use lower channels? For instance, do you not have higher channels like 149, 153 etc. etc?

If thats the case your router might be fine when set to all channels while mine stops working on anything beyond channel 48...

Its really not a huge deal though ( sometimes I tend to obsess over trivial things) I use 5ghz for streaming video and occasionally use wifi analyzer. In those instances i can just switch channels. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Capsaicin88:
since i flashed the rom from 2015/11/25 i have really poor signal and no lte anymore

what could be the reason?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- My router doesn't allow or show me any configuration options for the channel numbers :eek:

- In the UK we are allowed technically to use Channels 36 – 64 and 100-140

- Anything above 149 I think requires a license.
