I updated from cm11 to latest july version and get bootloop too. But i still can go in safestrap and restore my nand backup (so i didnt need to reflash fireos) . Then i found out that opengapps is the reason, i tried flashing micro, nano and pico and only pico works.

This is what i did:

Factory reset

- Flash cleansystempartition.zip

- Flash the rom

- Flash gapps nano

- Flash supersu 2.4.6

- Reboot

Very important: make nand backup before you flash
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Thanks for feedback, still don't know what could be causing this. I am unable to reproduce the issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
Is it necessary to flash clearsystempartition.zip?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
A dirty flash as normal should be all that is needed, so theoretically, no you shouldn't need to flash it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] thangtq:
install ok, restart not ok, why???
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Saying something doesn't work is not a bug report?

Can you give some more details?

Which version gapps and what date/version number are you using?

Did you flash a new gapps package at the time of flashing the ROM, if so what version?

Logcat?

Read the the the last few pages of this thread?

In short I'm not sure at the moment, I need more info because I can't reproduce the issue here.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Kitta4:
Also in a bootloop...

Hi ggow and thank you for your amazing work on this rom! Without it my Amazon Phone would be dead...

Ok back on the issue some other users have experienced, I also dirty flashed the new version and got a bootloop.

I was (still am) on lineage-11-20170424-UNOFFICIAL-kodiak with open gaps full version 20170309.

After the bootloop I flashed back the previous version (20170424) and everything came back to normal.

Should I try fllashing a different version of gapps?

What other details I can offer to solve this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
If possible do a backup of your working ROM. Just as a secondary precaution.

Flash the update and get a logcat of the boot-up.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Just as a point of reference:

- When upgrading, I flashed the ROM only. Prior to flashing, the Gapps used was Pico

- When doing a clean install I did the following:

Factory reset

cleansystempartition

ROM

gapps pico latest version at the time

supersu-2.4.6
[Amazon Fire Phone] Kitta4:
Yes, this is exactly the way I installed the rom first time and I still have the supersu-2.4.6 without that "cursed" update that breaks the root.

Anyway the only difference I see is gapps pico?

I will make the backup for safety and I will get back with the logcat for the booting sequence.

Thank you ggow for the suggestions :good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
Got a 'new' Fire phone to replace an old dead one.

Downgraded to Fire OS update-fire-phone-33.4.6.1_user_461013320.bin (adb sideload)

Installed KingRoot and rooted.

Installed Safestrap.

Booted to recovery.

Installed LineageOS, gapps, SU.

Reboot.

Working great, thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Which version, of gapps did you flash?
[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20170121

Yes, I know it's a little old, but it is what I had used on the old phone so I used the same again. Then let the apps update normally.

[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
That "cursed update" of SU? I updated to the newest version and I still have root. Was I suppose to not update the binaries to 2.82? Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Kitta4:
Some users (read a few pages back) reported that after the update, SuperSU was actually not working and reversed to unroot the phone. I think this is the correct term for something like that? I mean the other is 'rooted phone' :D
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Something is messed up with the battery gauge. I went from 10% to 17% percent while using my phone. Is this a known bug?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Exactly the same happened with my phone a few minutes ago. I will use it until battery is empty and load to 100 % then and see if this happens again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Is anyone else having this issue?

I'll take a look at what changed in upstream lineage for the last couple of months and see if there is anything related.
[Amazon Fire Phone] miiep:
As posted before, i flashed clearsystempartition.zip, then updated to the may's patch and installed gapps pico. Than the bootloop doesn't occure. (verified with 2 devices)
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Hi ggow. I drained my battery completely and then charged to 100 percent. This seemed to have helped although I did see a tiny upward tick in the battery graph while in use. It more or less solved the issue but I'll report back if it returns. Thanks for your continued work here BTW.

In an unrelated question, does updating SuperSU binaries (to 2.82) pose any issues when updating this Rom ? Thank you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes, once rom is install you can update SuperSU binaries and update to the latest SuperSU APK from playstore.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
I tried the same - as written above - and this strange behaviour didn't appear again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
Battery stats are great on this ROM, I got more than 7 days of standby
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]. If you have the time, please look at the battery level accuracy issue. Although minor, I do see a lot of small upward spikes in my battery graph. I thought it was corrected by draining fully and then charging but there's still a slight issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Looking into it before the next release.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Battery gauge error is available so in FireOs, i can get shutdown from 6% to 0% or "charging" 7% to 13%, up and down, something like this. I think we need to replace the battery, is about 10$ on aliexpress
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Well I been looking through the lineage-11.0 repos and have spotted several commits which when looking at them, I'm very surprised to see. So I think I may be able to fix the boot-looping on upgrade. I'll also fix-up Xposed compatibility for the the next release.

When the new release comes it would be good to get as much feedback as possible for boot-loop fix and correct functioning of Xposed.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ali110emran:
When the latest rom upload??
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Did you really just ask that?? :rolleyes:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I haven't seen anything (yet) in source code that would contribute to this issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] AbdouRetro:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] aren't you a sweet baby for including signature spoofing :D

So convenient.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
Anyone having problems with updated apps not functioning properly? My stock Android messenger stopped providing new message notifications and sound. Works fine since rolling back to the original version, but this seems to be happening more frequently with various app updates (not just messenger). I'm wondering if this is due to OS incompatibility (4.4 vs 5, 6, 7, etc.) or a Lineage issue...?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
This reminds me, I need to add this to my new code base.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Not sure why this might be at the moment, maybe wait til I have completed work on the new version, then we can go from there.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
Ok, thanks. New build works great otherwise.
[Amazon Fire Phone] euphore:
Hey there, i just want to know if its possible to replace the aosp stock dialer with the google dialer from gapps safely by flashing? Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
As far as I know, the Google dialer isn't compatible with 4.4, if you're referring to the Pixel version...
[Amazon Fire Phone] comdx:
Hi,

i have a fire phone with newest lineageOS and today i got another fire phone which i updated to 4.6.1, then rooted it and installed safestrap.

now i wanted to have the same OS from first fire phone on the second one (like a clone) so i do not need to go through all the settings/installations again.

i tried to make a backup with safestrap of the first fire phone and copied the backup to the second fire phone and tried to flash the backup.

but it failed and i stucked in bootloop when trying to start the OS.

after that i freshly flashed the newest lineageOS onto the second fire phone.

it starts now into the OS.

but is there any method with that i can achieve that both fire phones have the same OS with all the same settings,apps and so on?

(without doing everything manually)

thank you
[Amazon Fire Phone] euphore:
Yes, i was hoping for pixel.. :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Ok. If you find something, please let us know. The battery life on this Rom is fantastic otherwise. Just the upward spikes in the battery are not normal. Wonder if there's anything else I can do about that. Thank you ggow.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
New Build is Up

- Dated 20 July 2017

- Security patches up to July 2017

- Fixed boot-loop on upgrade

- Fixed Xposed compatibility - Standard Xposed Framework Build should work

- Added option in Developer Options to Enable/Disable Signature spoofing

- Download link on OP now lists all Lineage-11.0 releases

- Linked latest KitKat Xposed in OP downloads section.

- Again if possible please test and feedback:

Bootloop on upgrade fixed?

Standard Xposed working?

Enable / Disable Signature spoofing is working?
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
I upgraded from the 20170105 version by dirty flashing lineage-11-20170720-UNOFFICIAL-kodiak.zip and open_gapps-arm-4.4-micro-20170720.zip. As always, since I use an encrypted system partition, I booted into recovery, used adb to push the ZIPs to the cache partition from my PC, and installed them from there.

The phone rebooted without a hitch and everything seems fine. I don't use Xposed or signature spoofing so can't comment on that, but see the signature spoofing option under Developer Options.

Thanks, ggow!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
A few months ago I had the same thought. I had a 16 GB Fire Phone and wanted to move my existing system to one with 32GB of storage (I posted here, see above). All I did was routing the 2nd and installing Safestrap. Than I copied a Safestrap backup from the old to the "new" phone, restored it through Safestrap and was done.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Dirty flashed the newest rom with out a problem. Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
Just flashed the new build. Don't use sig. spoofing and haven't had any bootloop problems recently, but Xposed still doesn't work (fork is fine, though). Did you have any luck with it?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I didn't have time to test Xposed Standard, but thanks for letting me know. Although not urgent I'll look into that for the next release if I have time.
[Amazon Fire Phone] euphore:
just flash SU again and install/update Xposed framework. seems fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
Ok, maybe I'll give that a try on the next build :). As it stands, the fork is perfectly functional but an update in the future would probably be a good idea...
[Amazon Fire Phone] ekam99:
Dirty flash with Dalvik/Cache erase - no boot loop or other noticeable troubles yet.

THANKS a Ton, [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]
[Amazon Fire Phone] topcaser:
Same here, all works well.

Gesendet von meinem Fire Phone mit Tapatalk
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Same here as well.

No boot loop (coming from 20161016 build).

SuperSU 2.78, Xposed by SolarWarez & signature spoofing working fine.

Thanks a ton, indeed. :good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
I also tried a dirty flash. Got the known error with Xposed ( ... not yet ready ...) but I just use the fork.. So all is well here!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
What's the difference between standard and the Solarwarez version of xposed?.

Btw.. Dirty flashed and everything else seems good. Still get the battery graph upward spikes but as mentioned Battery life is great.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Solarwarez version is patched to workaround some aosp commits which block Xposed from working indirectly.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Lineage users can post SOT? I manage to get max 3h with fireos, and older cm11 min 2h-max 3h SOT.
[Amazon Fire Phone] DerGauss:
I also get about 3 hours but I suspect the battery to be pretty worn out. Too bad spare batteries are 2/3 of the price I paid for this phone. Not to mention these brand new batteries might be at least 2 years old and not holding charge as good as a new battery should.

I wouldn't blame this great rom for the low sot to be honest.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Kitta4:
Thank you ggow for the new release.

I dirty flashed from 20170424 and the bootloop is fixed. For the rest I can't confirm anything because I'm not using Xposed or Signature Spoofing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
I will buy a new battery, for 10$ from aliexpress is not so expensive. Also i can remove back glass with thor screwdriver, i always clean camera after 1 month, it's not complicated.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Two things.

Get a "Gallery has stopped" crash.

In the notification tiles drop down, if I press User, I get process. android. system ui... crash.

. Any ideas?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I'll take a look into this.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Thanks. Notice that when hitting the User tile, it goes to the lock screen instead of going to settings like it did before. Nothing major but just pointing it out.

Edit:@ggow.. Sorry.. I disabled contacts and the contacts storage. That's what led to the error.

Edit: Is there a reason for a dropbox folder in data/system/dropbox/ ? It keeps generating text files. I don't have Dropbox installed
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
/data/system/dropbox is not part of "DropBox" File Sync.

It is part of the Android OS DropBoxManager (not related at all to "DropBox")

Can I dirty flash this over a fire nexus rom?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No, a clean flash is required
[Amazon Fire Phone] qaseemali:
Kudos

Awesome work my friend. Loving the ROM.

Is there hope for the camera to be well integrated in the future or it's established that the camera can't be integrated for this device?

I'm using open camera, but now it doesn't allow to use the front camera and says maybe in use by another application.

Also when I open the camera to read any barcode from any app, it's too slow and does not function. I think if that's fixed we'll have a perfectly working custom ROM.

:good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Can you try this for the Camera issue and let me know if it works. (It did for me on the Nexus ROM :confused: )

1. Install snap camera (Free Trial Version) from the playstore and Use it for a little while Eg: take a main camera shot a selfie and a short video.

Note: Even snap camera can freekout a little so if it crashes just restart it until it finds it's feet.

2. Now uninstall snap camera and open up open camera again :fingers-crossed: no more crashes.

(Note: it will not fix HDR fuction and I dont know about the barcode stuff :confused: .)

I reported about this here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72780174&postcount=348 but no body ever confirmed it was the same for them as I think most people pay for snap camera as do I.

I just needed a free camera for my nephew to use the phone with his account so I found out by accident really. :o

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

As this ROM is unofficial, can the default stock system apps be replaced with better quality third party apps like SMS app with Textra, Browser with Chrome, AOSP keyboard with SwiftKey and so on so that user does not need to install multiple apps for one purpose?
[Amazon Fire Phone] euphore:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

You think its possible to implement the aptx codec into next lineage release?

SafetyNet fails

I flashed CM11 on my fire phone without root, in order to have a working system that would pass SafetyNet (for a company app that requires this). But even after a clean flash, SafetyNet fails. Does it work for anybody else or is the pure existence of Safestrap already a showstopper for SafetyNet?
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
This phone will never pass safetynet. No magisk module or other workaround will ever work for this phone. Not even the stock amazon rom will pass safetynet. This is due to the way safetynet tests and compare devices.

"SafetyNet examines software and hardware information on the device where your app is installed to create a profile of that device. The service then attempts to find this same profile within a list of device models that have passed Android compatibility testing."

This is straight from the android developers webpage.

Basically what hinders us here is the part that says "The service then attempts to find this same profile within a list of device models that have passed Android compatibility testing." The firephone never passed these compatibility tests (It was never tested) as this phone didn't ship with GAPPS at all. There is no safe "profile" to compare against, so this would instantly fail the test.

My recommendation would be to switch to another phone that ships with GAPPS and passes safetynet if it really is necessary to use this app you mention. I hope you can manage to find a solution your situation. Take care.

P.S. I'm not a dev but I know a thing or two.
[Amazon Fire Phone] seancoombs:
Is there a step by step guide to install this ROM. I see a lot of downloads and no specific method of installing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
^^^ Go to Reddit. Fire phone section. There's a thread called LineageOS installation and updating. Very easy instructions to root, update etc.. That's where I found it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
It's a flash able addon, have you tried flashing the zip file for kikat to see if it works?

[Amazon Fire Phone] qaseemali:
Thanks for the reply. I don't mind paying for snap camera but I just want to be sure if it works. For now even Skype,WhatsApp and other video calling apps are not working with snap camera trial or open camera.

Update:

I also tried the paid version of snap camera. Skype WhatsApp or any other video calling apps does not work with it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Sorry to tell you, but: "slight" misunderstanding. bigrammy was talking about the camera itself, as in "using camera apps", that work well (don't crash, etc.) with the highly modified HAL.

Your problem centers around third party apps not being able to access the camera properly, like everyone else is experiencing the same issues on custom roms (one of many examples).
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Hi,

Bingo Bronson is correct as I was referring to the camera itself and not any specific application. :good:

I can confirm Google Hangouts works without any issues whatsoever for video calls, taking photos, (and sending them while in a conversation) etc etc

I can confirm Google Allo app also seems to work perfectly well so I would give the "Google based app's" a try.. :fingers-crossed:

Both the above were tested with the Open Camera as the only camera installed on my phone at the moment.

I cannot comment on Skype, WhatsApp, Twitter, FaceBook, Snap Chat or any other popular over intrusive app's as I Never use them :o

2017-07-20 Update not Hyperlinked in Chromium or Firefox

The last two ("2017-07-20" & "2017-07-05") security patches are not hyperlinked in neither my Chromium nor Firebox browsers so I can't update. Hyperlinks show up in all prior updates in both browsers -- it's just the last two. Selecting any of the prior links lead to the proper download page.

Searching the thread for "no hyperlink" or "can't download" didn't get any hits. Searching Android File Host for "lineage-11-20170720-UNOFFICIAL-kodiak.zip" didn't get any hits either. Am I the only one having this problem? I'm logged into XDA and various blockers are off.

The fix is probably embarrassingly simple but I just can't find it. Any solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks

The download link is on the OP, the link will list all previous versions.

Because of this I won't need to link each time in the change log
