Trying to get CM-12 running on a locked bootloader using the stock boot.img from FireOS is already complicated enough. CM13 and CM14 are too big a gapp to bridge on our current kernel (at least at my current understanding).

I don't know how far I'm going to get with this. But I will keep going until I'm certain there is no way forward.

I now have the ART runtime half running. There are lots of permissions errors and crashes that I'm trying to solve.
[Amazon Fire Phone] aazamsajid:
camera icon is not showing thats why I cant use camera
[Amazon Fire Phone] jokergermany:
Can someone help me?

What can i try to do to fix this problem?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Have you installed a camera app?
[Amazon Fire Phone] jokergermany:
No change with 20161122

Still the phone isn't recognized by a computer and it can only be changed if the phone is powered off.

Can someone help me how to solve this?

I need to fix is this christmas holidays...
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Succes to your work [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION], hope you will complete cm12 work for fire phone users.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Have you tried reverting back to FireOS to see if the problem still occurs?

- Different Cable?

- Different Charger - it might be the charge can happen because of lower current draw when the phone is off.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jokergermany:
Yes

How can i revert back to fireos?

hey , i installed (gapps arm 4.4 stock )build of 25th Nov.. which one gapps are you using..?

i am having same error 104 problem with all( varients of gapps pico,nano,stock,micro)build of 25Nov.

I suggest July 31 gapps micro.

Later versions caused me problems at reboot.

[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
I do this after every dirty flash, maybe that's why I never saw this problem with this update? I didn't change my gapps at all, haven't for a good while actually.

Yeah, all the best

Has anyone else got terrible sound quality when talking with someone on the phone? (Regular SIM call, western EU) It's kind of noisy, cant really hear what people are talking. Not sure when this appeared, haven't used the phone this summer.

December update when?
[Amazon Fire Phone] xwin01:
Could anyone in the know please let me know if boot.img in the amazon update file is the bootloader image or the kernel boot image? I looked at bootloader image from nexus 5s phone and it appears to be an elf file. This one is definitely not an elf.

Thanks in advance.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Thread cleaned.

Asking/Demanding ETA of updates is considered quite rude and disrespectful in a development community that provides to you free of charge.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Ok, sorry...it was an simple question, my fault!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] pt80chip:
Hi, this is a little off topic but I'm not sure where else to ask.

I recently paired my fire phone with my LG phone. When I made a call with my LG I had the option to use my fire phone as the bluetooth headset. I tried it out and it was just like using a regular bluetooth headset.

I've looked for this function on a tablet in the past so I installed CM12 on my LG V410 tablet. It didn't work.

What makes the fire phone different? Is it strictly software or is there something else? Any way I can replicate it on a CM tablet?

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I think that will be a software difference / issue with the ROM on your LG V410 tablet. Specifically bluetooth not been fully functional.
[Amazon Fire Phone] pt80chip:
Thanks. I did a little reading and apparently you have to enable a2dp sink on android, however I wasn't able to figure out how.

This was the most conclusive from what I read:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27763756/android-device-as-a-receiver-for-a2dp-profile

Couldn't find those files on the tablet however.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
This is usually done in the device tree of the ROM and is picked up at build time. Maybe ask the maintainer to try and include the functionality.
[Amazon Fire Phone] pt80chip:
Of course!!! That makes perfect sense.

At this point I will either look into doing a build myself or giving up on it. Any suggestions on where to start?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
If its this device: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=v410

Then look here as a start: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_v410

Camera Button for Fire Phone on CM11

Camera button works well with the "Button Mapper" app from Google Playstore.:)
[Amazon Fire Phone] newinnov:
Hi,

Can anybody on cm11, Please install - DRM Info app from play store and upload screen shot here.

As official roam only support google drm , so microsoft's playready drm supported apps are not working. I just want to know which drms cm11 rom supports, before installing.

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] jokergermany:
Hmm, even with FireOS 3.6.1 or 3.6.3 same problems.

I suppose removing SafeStrap woulden't change anything?

Then i have to change it with the merchant.

He shouldn't notice that i installed cm.

Is it enough to remove safestrap and unroot the phone?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Jakky567:
Will the recent destruction of CyanogenMod affect this ROM in any way?
[Amazon Fire Phone] yt400pmd:
CyanogenMod is still around cyanogen Inc is gone. The fire phone is using cm11. It is being developed by ggow not the cm team
[Amazon Fire Phone] Brandon4466:
While I am not ggow, I did write about this on /r/firephone: https://www.reddit.com/r/firephone/comments/5kh2b6/cyanogenmod_is_officially_gone_shut_down_by/

:)
[Amazon Fire Phone] newinnov:
Nothing much I guess, only there will be no updates.

Anyway amazon stopped firmware/driver update for this device long back. So it doesn't really matters.
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
It's a good time of year to contribute to ggow's CM-11 Fire Phone ROM development!

Another year has passed and ggow has done an outstanding job again of keeping our Amazon Fire Phones relevant with his excellent CM-11 based ROM. I have three Fire Phones that would be unused boat anchors without his support. I have gotten more timely security updates from ggow for my Fire Phones than I have for my two Samsung Galaxy phones that I own.

I've hit the 'Thanks!' button a lot this year on ggow's posts, but now I'm going to hit the PayPal 'Donate' button in the 'Downloads - CM-11 for Amazon Fire Phone' link to really show my appreciation for this year's support. I suggest that others that have benefited from this ROM and have some cash they can spare do the same. Happy holidays everyone!
[Amazon Fire Phone] BerniG:
I have bought my Fire phone with CM11 preinstalled but can't use it here in Mexico. The problem is, that I only have 4G reception with Telcel as well as Movistar. 3G does not work but it should from official specifications (or am I reading them wrong?). As such, I cannot make any calls or SMS. Is this maybe a CM11 issue (I cannot simply try FireOS as I'm here on vacation)? Are there some other radio firmwares to install that I maybe need?
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
No radio firmwares, that would require an unlocked bootloader if I'm not wrong. Though if you say that the phone is compatible check the apn settings just to be sure it's configured properly. I hope this helps you. Enjoy your vacations and happy new year to everybody in this thread. :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] BerniG:
Thanks for your answer but AFAIK the APN settings are only relevant when connecting to data? But my problem is the missing 3G signal (which is quite strong on a Motorola Razr i).

[Amazon Fire Phone] Mikizio:
Does mute function work in the latest version? Thanks [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No it doesn't, still the same problem as the early versions. Again to do with Amazon's custom HAL implementation.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

Amazon has released open sources of Amazon Fire Phone. However, it seems u have lost interest in this device, no CM updates... :(

We need u man
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
You really need to get your facts straight before making assumptions about things you clearly do not understand.

- Amazon has had their very cut down source release since the first days I started developing for this device and it contains NOTHING to help with future versions of android, unlocking the bootloader or even fix the remaining bugs on CM-11.

- I have CM updates coming, they are not ready yet

- And don't make assumptions about me losing interest in the device. I'll announce it if I have.

- And just to be clear, I have not lost interest at all.

EDIT: And to also quote this post from earlier today
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
LineageOS / cm-11.0

- I have been working on switching to the LineageOS repo. I now have a working build.

- I have fixed issues with using the latest versions of gapps. I flashed open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20170105.zip with the new build and it seems to work fine.

- Should be able to dirty flash it but for best results it may require a factory reset.

- Release will be up soon.

EDIT:

If you are going to try upgrading flash the new ROM and new gapps together.
[Amazon Fire Phone] JoshMcMadMac:
It is awesome that you are still pursuing this. Thank you for all of your hard work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:

- Dated 05 Janunary 2017

- Switched to the LineageOS code repo

- December 2016 Security Patches

- Fixed using latest versions of gapps

- When upgrading, flash the new ROM and new gapps together.

- I left the link to the last build of Cyanogenmod CM-11 on the OP alongside the new build
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Enjoy! I'll make some backups of my phone and have some sleep ...
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I'm on the move doing this so apologise in advance if there are any issues, if there are let me know and I'll fix'em up.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jman315:
Was just able to dirty flash successfully.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Just couldn't wait (it'll be a short night though) and did a clean install. Works fine but I can't activate Xposed Framework.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Is Xposed giving any error message?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Jakky567:
I'm also having the same issue. The Xposed fork in this thread works. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64063168&postcount=62. I'm fairly sure a clean install would also fix it, but I don't have time to backup my phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
The forked Xposed works fine, but make sure to uninstall the original. Otherwise, the new build is great. No issues. Thanks again, ggow!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
It does here, too.

Now it's great!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Great news! Many thanks!

Is there any chance the AOSP (Nexus) version will be also updated?
[Amazon Fire Phone] omiCar:
Thank you so much for still supporting this amazing project, good sir, so, let me get this straight. Now we are able to use the camera with certain apps with this new build? Thanks in advance
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes, I'll be updating the AOSP version asap.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Cool, if the forked version of Xposed is working, I'll leave the build as it is for now.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
No problem! Thanks for keeping us posted. I look forward to the update.

Camera F5 is working fine for me but open camera opens to black then force closes. Only thing that makes sense to me is I got an update that broke something along the way because this still happens after factory reset and clean flash.

I'll sort it out. F5 works fine but seems like way more camera than I need--loads of settings, probably great for a photographer that knows what he's doing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- You can try a full wipe.

- I made changes to safestrap which means /system partition is protected to not lose safestrap recovery.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
It might work. Having the app installed was problematic because it made Google Play Services crash almost every minute. Flashing the minimal GApps made it not crash anymore. In fact, no more Google Play Services issues at all (at least for me).

And the app acts normally. It'd be weird for it not to work. But I don't have an Android Wear watch, so I can't say.
[Amazon Fire Phone] najoor:
Don't get to excited about camera FV 5. The pictures it takes with a flash and the ones without a flash in low light are cappy.

I think the fire phone camera sensor has a larger dynamic range than most other phones and the fire phone stock camera app takes advantage of that and by applying image processing creates a crisp image but the other general-purpose camera apps cannot do that. That's why you end up with washed out pictures taken with the flash and dim pictures taken in low light.
[Amazon Fire Phone] king200:
Settings->Buttons, "Home Button" tab, "Long press action" = Voice Search

Settings->Quick launch shortcuts, Hold the soft home key and move towards a target and configure action/app you want.

Nova Launcher v3.3->Home Button Settings-Home Button-Only on Default Screen=checked, "Press home button once for default screen, then again for action (I set for "settings app"). Newer versions of Nova have some different, more limited, actions for LP and I didn't want that.

Nothing for camera button

I do whatever I can to not use physical buttons. Habit for long time since HTC HD2 where the physical buttons failed with use. I double tap the status bar to sleep the phone and, now, wake up with the camera button...the least important. I sleep the phone lots, again old habit to preserve battery as much as possible.

Camera parameters of amzn Fire Phone https://app.box.com/FV5Camera

Likely not what our rom does but what the camera app is capable of.

I'm using version 2.55 of the app. I usually don't update what's not broken;). Open Camera (works) and Google Camera (Not) are also installed if that makes difference to environment of system.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
I tried modifying the gpio-keys.kl file, assigning the camera to button 358 (that's the button that was recognized after running KeynrTracker). It didn't work :(

Do any of you know why could that be? It was modified successfully, but it just didn't anything after that.

- Restart your phone

- Press the recovery button on the safestrap splash screen when it appears (the one with the robot and two buttons)

- Press the Wipe Button

Some other question: I'm thinking about starting from scratch. Will cleansystempartion.zip remove all my apps as well or must this be done in another way?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
As well as the zip file you mention you will also need to perform a factory reset within Safestrap. That should enable you to start from scratch.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
But music etc will remain?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes, a factory reset performed within Safestrap preserves /data/media partition (ie internal storage)

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] Thank you for continuing to support Amazon devices. I'm sure it's frustrating and not always rewarding. I have a few friends and family members who got Amazon devices and they would have been garbage by now if not for your releases.

I was able to get a cheap tablet ($30 Amazon fire tab) for my baby nephew because I knew I could make it work well without the Amazon crapware because you had a custom ROM for it.

My friends family needed new phones but didn't didn't have much money to spend, but I was worried if they got cheap Android phones that they would have a bad experience and be turned off (This has happened to A LOT of people). I was able to get 3x unlocked Amazon fire phones for $120/ea for them. The hardware in them is excellent, but the Amazon OS cripples the device. But because I saw you had custom builds available, I knew I could make sure their phones ran smoothly (even when underclocked to improve battery life). They were able to get devices that more than suited their needs within their budget. They didnt have to overspend or get locked into a contract to do it.

So I just wanted to thank you for helping a lot of people. I just wanted to remind you that it is appreciated.

Dear ggow, we (at least myself. There are 5 phones in my family running CM) still believe you can find the way around with the camera HAL you've been working on. If this is accomplished, hundreds of users will be more than thankful!
