Try Facebook lite as an alternative then. It's working nicely for me. Less bloatware and it doesn't drain the battery much.

I cant get to work bluetooth music. I tried different devices (sound bar, car speaker). The music is playing on the fire phone, but there is no sound out of the other device.There is just some weird signal for a few seconds and there is no sound at all. Flashing a new rom (plus wipe) fixed the problem for a few minutes but then the problem occured again in the middle of nowhere...please help me, it is really frustrating.

It's broken in what sense? I don't use the app often, but it seems to work OK for me.

LineageOS and XPOSED framework

Hi guys!

Anyone has managed to fix XPOSED on latest build based on LineageOS?

Xposed does not work unfortunately, namely it can't be installed/updated. :(

Please let me(us) know if you know the way to make it working.

Unfortunately I have to roll back to cm-11-20161122 in order to get it up and running.

Really shame.

What is so drastically changed in LineageOS in comparison with CM11?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Look several posts above. There's a link to a fork of Xposed installer that works just fine
[Amazon Fire Phone] RalphLauren:
Thank you! I'm really surprised that search in this thread for "xposed" did not bring any result :eek: , hence my post above.

Does the mod by SolarWarez working just fine? People were reporting a boot loop after latest security patch and a fix installation is required: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71186344&postcount=160
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
I'm using this mod since January and haven't noticed any problems neither had a single bootloop.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Handsome Jack:
Can I have the link to the forked Xposed?

Amazon fire phone has a problem

When my phone screen is automatically off / lock its not turn on. No button work hold down power key 10 seconds and restart the phone and work but after automatically lock its happened again.

Then I create romslot1 via safestrip and install the rom all functions work perfectly but when I go back to stock slot it's happened again

What should I do???

Has anyone tried to connect to Xiaomi MI band 2 smartwatch using this ROM? Was wondering if it works because I couldn't connect the phone via Bluetooth to my car (Not via android auto, car has a kind of hands free mode. It should ask permissions to read storage, calls, messages etc. but never happens). Work phone (samsung) works flawless
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
I actually have one on order, can let you know when it gets here in 20 days. ha I can let you know I've been using a Jawbone Up2 with this rom, no issues.
[Amazon Fire Phone] EBT_Hoffa:
Cool update to report (apologies if someone mentioned it already)...I just realized that my T-Mobile CellSpot is no longer throwing the phone into boot loop when it's set to LTE.

I typically left it on 3G, or switched back/forth when going to/from my office, but noticed I had a full LTE connection after I got home yesterday, and it continued to work without issue.

FYI, I'm using the latest LineageOS build.

Yes you can dirty flash the latest, no downsides that I can think of.

is there any hope that we can use normal xposed installer in the future releases of this rom?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Why do you need normal xposed over the the patched version. Does it bring any advantages?

If there is a genuine need then I'll look into it.

[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
call me paranoid :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Same here.

But something happened a few days ago (what has nothing to do with this update): When I plug or unplug my phone there's neither sound nor vibration any more - although the battery IS getting charged. Better Battery Stats doesn't show "since unplugged", either. In all other cases sound and​ vibrations work.

Any ideas?

Edit: I have found a solution (but no reason). I wanted to know if it was a hardware or software problem, so I flashed an older backup with Safestrap. With my phone "back in January" it all worked, so it was not a matter of defective hardware. Then I flashed my recent backup from yesterday evening and it works, too.

Just don't know what happend at all ...
[Amazon Fire Phone] topcaser:
Worked pretty well to dirty flash the rom. Thanks for your continued support ggow
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Hi , i have CM on a fire phone my Mam still uses and it is going great , many thanks to the Dev :)

The issue she has is that as soon as a call is made then the screen goes black so she then can't use call platform options , was this a bug in an earlier ROM ? Or has she maybe pressed a setting in the menus somewhere.

Thanks in advance.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Is there a screen protector on the phone?

This is the only thing I can think that might be causing the issue.

I am unable to reproduce this on my device.

Yes there is a screen protector , where is the bit on the phone that will be affected ? Would you know , I'll just chop a piece off , see if that sorts it .

Help with Fire phone > Reverted > Think I effed up

Heya,

Been a reader & fan for a some time now. Here's the sitch:

Purchased a used, unlocked Fire phone last year - It came with CM11, supersu, safestrap - didn't know what I was getting myself into. I didn't know what the FireOS really had to offer & was always interested in reverting back to it just to see what it was like, but never did.

I recently got bored with CM11 so upgraded (using your handy instructions & a LOT of terminology research) to LineageOS. I hated it/couldn't figure it out. There was no store & I was unable to get google play store to get supersu back and couldn't get safestrap back (or is that still somewhere on the phone)? I may have done it wrong, but was under the impression if GAPPS was already installed, i wouldn't have to install it again with the LineageOS, so i didn't.

anyhow, I did a factory reset & then installed the most recent FireOS for Fire phone (2015) - and well.... as impressed as i am with some of the features & capabilities, it obviously doesn't offer access to um EVERYTHING I'm accustomed to as a lifelong Androider.

Have I done too much? Since I factory reset, is it even possible to access safestrap anymore? or will I have to break/unlock the phone all over again? I didn't do it the first time - purchased it this way. I've no clue what I'm doing - I almost want to give up & buy a whole new damn phone.

Insight, input, questions, instructions? Corner to put my nose in?

Anything would be helpful - Thanks a mill
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
Since no one else is replying, I'll give it a go...

First, it's debatable whether your new FireOS version is "hackable," but since you've got nothing to lose, assume it is. Check the version in the About setting. Second, visit this site : https://www.reddit.com/r/firephone/...guide_installing_cyanogenmod_on_amazons_fire/ for complete instructions on installing CM 11 (Lineage, same diff). Third, if your phone doesn't boot into Safestrap from power on, it's probably gone, so download it again.

Just follow the instructions on the linked site and see what happens. Good luck.
[Amazon Fire Phone] nguyenquan2011:

Hello everybody,

Been wondering... What if we email Amazon and request the bootloader codes, will it change something?... I get it they won't care if it's 2 people, but if everybody here emails them, we might get something... The hardware capabilities of the device are nice and still good for 2017, but sadly the device is stuck with KK... Just a random thought, didn't mean to be rude. Thanks to everybody involved on the forums and for the valuable info.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
In my country, Fire Phone 32Gb is 100$. Buy why not to mail them all about fking bootloader code, or something like an online petition
[Amazon Fire Phone] Asphyxiate666:
It's that cheap because Amazon stopped giving a dime about this device a long while ago, they consider it a failure.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Ok so many of us paid the initial price. Samsung s4 has lollipop original. Other phones have that bootloader unlock code, we why not? If amazon thinks that fire phone is failure, so why they just don t give us the bootloader code? Is not suported anymore this phone but is capable of running Lollipop, MM or N android. If they don t give us Bootloader code...i hope for Fire Os 5 when apocalipse comes
[Amazon Fire Phone] newinnov:
I think, the only way they will provide boot loader unlock is- if we keep on contacting them repeatedly regarding unsupported apps and fireos5 and boot loader unlock.

Else I don't think there will be any upgrade in future. (Cry baby :( )

I got a question for you. Do you actually use firephone as a daily driver or do you just update the rim and put the firephone away and use another phone as daily driver?:svetius:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I use a fire phone as a second phone. I have a Sony Xperia X Compact as my primary phone. If the bootloader was unlocked on the Fire Phone I wouldn't have bothered getting the Sony device.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
We have any chance if we ask amazon for that fking bootloader? Is discontinued phone...so they will not release any update. Is 2017, phone was released in 2014
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
There is no chance that Amazon is going to entertain unlocking the bootloader on this device. There needs to be a review / introduction of legislation surrounding use of bootloader locking and unlocking conditions.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
If all Fire Phone users active here i think we will get some answer like FireOs5 or bootloader unlocked
[Amazon Fire Phone] newinnov:
Similar response I received almost a year back :(

I think- they have a common response for this type of queries and in real they are not going to do anything meaningful.

Only if they could provide kernel source...
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
In the next build, I'll forward port some of the lineage branding like the boot animation and updating some of the out-dated projects like open-ssl etc.
[Amazon Fire Phone] DNS_ERR:
I sent a letter off to CIS@AMAZON.COM last May, 2016

Here's what it said:

Dear Mr. Bezos,

I belong to a group of avid Fire Phone users, instead of Fire OS, we use the Amazon phone with a version of Android that after much work manages to utilize most of the features out of the phone’s hardware. Notably, the camera is not able to be operated fully - the phone has not yet been made to scan QR codes. This is because the ROM cannot be upgraded farther than allowed due to the locked boot loader, as it’s called. There is nothing anyone can possibly do, in fact, until the boot loader is unlocked by Amazon.

We need Amazon to please allow those of us who work with the ROM to please provide an unlocked boot loader so that we may have a phone that is *better* than most other phones! It’s certainly powerful enough, one of the fastest phones I’ve ever used.

If it were possible to obtain such an open boot loader, the phone would be instantly much more valuable, upgradeable, and because of its superior hardware, still relevant for a number of years to come. It is sheer lunacy, in my opinion, to permit all those Amazon Fire Phones go to waste due to a “mistake” even though with a stroke of a pen, it’s much less of a mistake!

It’s a green thing, too. Without the unlocked boot loader, virtually every Amazon Fire Phone in existence will be worthless within two years and headed, hopefully, for the recyclers.

Regards,

AND HERE"S WHAT I GOT BACK:

Message From Customer Service

[MENTION=6856515]DNS_ERR[/MENTION] I think it's a step forward (maybe?)

I think it would tarnish their image if they stop caring completely about our device, it's their only phone... I'll send an email too.
[Amazon Fire Phone] underdog_656:
This might be stupid but I think we should get all the fire phone users to send at the same time to amazon so that they might get annoyed and potentionally release bootloader. If you guys want to do this just thank this comment to see how many of you are willing to do that.

again that might be a stupid idea but, it's better than nothing tho....

[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
I got an "SU app needs updating" notification and let it do its thing. It failed to update by 'normal' method, and now the phone has lost root access. I booted to recovery and reinstalled "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46". Rebooted. Mysteriously the SuperSU app had been uninstalled, not by me. Reinstalled SuperSU apk, run and it says "SU Binary occupied" and if I click "How to solve" followed by "More..." to advance, get a 503 forum error message.

How to get root back?
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
Kingroot
[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
Thanks. I had tried NewKingrootV4.52_C127_B227_xda_release_2015_09_28_105243.apk previously and it failed. Went to the Kingroot site and downloaded latest NewKingrootV5.1.2_C178_B417_en_release_2017_05_19_20170519182822_105203.apk, and that worked. I guess with that, I don't need SU at all.

Wow, Kingroot is spamming me with crap every few minutes. This has to be uninstalled.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
Kingroot's a pia. You should remove it with Supersu-me and replace with SuperSu once you're rooted. Then, if you get the paid version you can retain root through multiple OS upgrades.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Skeeterdrums:
That's how I've kept it through the upgrades. Very helpful indeed.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
Tried newest version of super-sume, wouldn't start. Installed an older version, it ran but froze after pressing the big button. Uninstalled super-sume. Uninstalled Kingroot. Booted to recovery and installed "SuperSU-v2.81_201705252021.zip". Rebooted. There was no SuperSU icon, went to play store and installed SuperSU. Opened a terminal and entered "su" command, got a grant access popup, accepted, and the terminal is now at root user. So it worked somehow. I will consider getting the paid version of supersu, or may have to go through this circus after an OS update.

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:

[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
I see that Amazon are coming out with another phone, a lower cost phone this time. Make sure to add a comment to every published story saying how Amazon abandoned customers of their expensive orphan Fire phone and do not update the software for it or assist developers.

Who actually developed the Fire phone? It sure as heck wasn't an online book, warehouse and shipping company. I know it was built by FoxConn, but who did the design, FoxConn did that too? Amazon have zero knowledge base in phones so somebody had to help them. Perhaps Amazon don't own the Fire phone software and it's not theirs to unlock.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Designed at Amazon Lab126. It's actually a decent engineering team. Yes the phone was gimmicky, but the hardware quality was quite good. The failure was due to the commercial decisions to fork Android instead of simply using Google Play services, give AT&T a carrier exclusive, and price the handset as a flagship. But given they took a $135M write-off on this venture, ongoing SW support was a non-starter. It looks like from the reports that the "Ice" phone will address all three problems that caused the "Fire" to failure.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
I see, that was former Palm people initially. They did a great job with the Kindle family. I say they poached some phone designers when they developed the Fire. The Fire phone hardware was and is good, although the head tracking sensors served no useful purpose. The Amazon bloatware Android and lack of google play store was a disaster.

I will never buy another phone from them. Unlocking the Fire phone bootloader would cost them nothing, assuming they own it.
