[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
WOW! I'm jealous! But I just came here to say I fixed it and I may have some useful info for others. Currently Im getting my max speed on 5 ghz and I'm doing it on channel 149 (not 36 through 48 which previously were the only ones that'd show up on fire phone.)

I too have a Linksys AC router and this may not be useful for some people that don't have a similar router but I'll do my best

Login to the router and go to wireless and set network mode to "mixed" set Channel to "auto" and set channel width to "auto". I also set security to "WPA2 Personal"

For the first time I realized that only "Mixed Mode" and "Auto" Channel Width enabled 80Mhz on my router. They really need to do a better job with the manuals.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Thanks, KLit75. I have a Netgear R6300v2 and when I turned the 5GHz access point to "Up to 600 Mbps" mode from "Up to 1300 Mbps", I can now see the 149 channel on my CM11 phone. Still something strange as the stock Fire OS works on 1300 Mbps mode, but it's a good temporary compromise. Still hopeful ggow can figure out why it does not have full 5GHz compatibility for when I'm in the office and don't have control over the router settings.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I'm still looking into the 5GHz problems/issues-

- In my research I have found several devices have had similiar problems

- I personally have been able to connect to any 5GHz network and been able to get decent throughput
[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
I have been using this Rom for more than a month. Everything is quite good. The only problem which frustrated me for almost a week is Sim Card with "?" sign after putting the device in my pocket for more than 1 hour. The problem can be solved by switching into aeroplane mode and reversing back, but I miss all the calls during the time sim is unavailable ( the sim is shown in status bar with question mark). Again I wanna restate that sim is cut into nano sim by a proper cutter and it is working properly most of the times but sometimes it is like undetectable by the device. I hope someone could give a solution .
[Amazon Fire Phone] krackers:
I don't believe I or the majority have experienced this. The only issue with cellular is that it takes a relatively long time to latch onto LTE.

You may want to try reflashing or getting a new simcard. If not that, then it may be a problem with your phone.

Since you really can't return the phone at this point, a workaround may be to set up a tasker script.
[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
Hey bro, how did make your navigation buttons(shown in the uploaded picture) like android lollipop?

Did you use CM12.1 themes?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Played around with so many customizations im honestly not certain, BUT pretty sure you can just go to settings/themes... select get more, go playstore, search "lollipop cm11" and download it. When you apply the the theme you pick specific parts of the ui to theme (status bar, icons, lock screen, etc.)

I like to see lollipop ui when i go to settings but actually like some of the marshmallow icons in my dock. Then i have several icon packs loaded with unique icons that i use for nova launcher folders so for example a wifi signal icon contains all my wifi tools(speedtest, analyzer, fing, etc) and a cloud for online storage apps (dropbox, drive etc) Also remove titles. End result is neat and easy to manage but a bit off topic. If youre not successful let me know and try to retrace my steps for the lollipop navigation bar. Im certain thats not an xposed mod im using.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
This is still vulnerable to Stagefright.....
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
"still" ... The info / patch for this specific Stagefright vuln. (CVE-2015 6602) was just published in October by Zimperium / Google, in other words:

after

the release of ggow's latest builds.

I'm sure ggow will include it in future builds of CM-11 / SlimKat. ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] majorwedgy:
Just installed this on my phone and wow what a transformation. Not sure what the issues with default camera, mine worked perfectly straight out of the box, in fact only issue encountered so far is that there are several Google services force close messages when I installed and everything I reboot but day to day usage appears rock solid, very happy with the phone now:)
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Is there any way we can use JUST the physical home button?
[Amazon Fire Phone] WiFivomFranMan:
What is the story with the mute and camera? Any plans to fix these or is it never going to happen?
[Amazon Fire Phone] killer_whale:
It's not true. Same issue with flash as any other camera. Either "special" drivers for camera needed or "special" application.

This camera makes 3 shots at the same time allowing to select the image you like - overexposed, normal, underexposed. All standard camera apps just capture the first one so any photo with flash used appears overexposed.

ggow, Have an issue:

1. Did clean install and didn't install root

2. Tried to install Barclasy Banking

Says, I have a rooted phone and doesn't work.

Can you please check if there are some traces of root access in your build? :confused:

I used the latest from 30/09
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I flashed your playstore.zip and the crashes I was getting have gone away for now - this must be the leanest version of gapps I have seen anywhere. Nice :).

I would recommend that people use this version instead of HDX Nexus Gapps, especially if you're experiencing the random crashing.

Do you mind if I put it on the OP?
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Wow, those are great news :)

Flashing it now.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Do as you please, Sensei.

BUT, the play services started crashing with these files as well ➜ doing a logcat right now, collecting only "warning and above" messages...
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Same here, flashed it and it's crashing almost every minute.

Here's the log:

http://pastebin.com/nxaYqhmh
[Amazon Fire Phone] wildgunman:
I agree
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
The line that stands out is: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load wearable-selector from loader...

I'll give it a little while and see my device starts crashing too then look into the reason. I know recently there have been several releases of Google Play Services causing problems on many devices.
[Amazon Fire Phone] escape75:
Quick question,- would it be possible to get the Amazon default camera app working - and maybe gallery on this rom?

The feature that seems to be pretty amazing in stock is the best shot feature, take a picture and pick between 3 best shots ...
[Amazon Fire Phone] rster:
Thank you ggow for this. Amazon create a phone with great specs (antutu 41500+) , a subpar os, and ruined it by locking the bootloader. Thanks to you, It's now my daily driver. I'm running the Now launcher with xposed framework and a few modules with no problems. The random play store crashes seemed to correct themselves within a day after all the updates.

Question: Will, with time, the system slow down because of safestrap, or is the way it's being used here (no other slots) stop those problems that once occurred when using safestrap?

Edit: spoke too soon about the play services not crashing. It crashed again after many hours. No big deal though - just annoying.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
ggow has already said it's unfeasible. Amazon stock apps heavily rely on the Amazon framework.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Hmm, maybe it was the Android Wear app. I've just uninstalled it and now Google Play Services isn't crashing anymore (at least in these 5 minutes that have passed :D)

Edit: Forget it, happened again :( . But it's not crashing all the friggin' time like before, so the Android Wear app might have caused some of the constant crashes. If someone has a smartwatch please check.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No it won't slow down because of the way it is been used.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
The line java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load wearable-selector from loader... indicates something is missing causing the crash.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Here's a new log (I flashed the Google services zip Bingo Bronson posted, Android Wear was uninstalled and I just waited for a random crash to occur):

http://pastebin.com/PX4tevHW
[Amazon Fire Phone] dhack21:
I flashed the normal CM11 gapps over the HDX ones in OP and turned location services from high accuracy to GPS only have had no Google Play Service Issues.
[Amazon Fire Phone] beejjacobs:
I'm so grateful for what you've done already to get CM11 working - makes this phone a great buy. Just got one for my Wife (a few days before you did this), and it'll be great for her.

Do you mean by this comment that you might get CM13 (will it be called that?)/Android M working on this if you can? If so I might get one for me too - my Nexus 4 is showing it's age and I'd like a better camera/more space but I'd struggle to go "down" to Kitkat!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I would definitely try to get a variant of Android M onto this device. I'm trying to use my time optimally. Getting CM-12 to run at the moment would be a lot of work that I don't have time for. CM-11 took time but it's a good platform until Android M arrives in the future.
[Amazon Fire Phone] beejjacobs:
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I've done some Java in the past - though I'm young/inexperienced I'm willing to learn. I say to because I'd be quite up for helping if I could be of use :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Tested another scenario:

- uninstalled all 4 apps

- wiped dalvik cache

- Google Account Manager 4.4.2-940549 & Google Services Framework 4.4.2-940549 (from official GAPPS, late 2014)

- latest Play Store & Play services (because why bother using older versions, which get updated anyway)

I had location services turned off while using CM11, hm... Whenever I tap on "manage space" (settings ➜ apps ➜ Google Play services) I get the system message "internal error".

Let's see if I get less crashes or the same as before.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dhack21:
Good call. I should also note I cleared dalvik and cache as well.

Edit: One Google play service crash while testing using stock SMS app.
[Amazon Fire Phone] itsezbb:
Yes, I didn't think to flash it so I got confused with the zip file. Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
It's getting smoother... I guess?!?

One general observation: after every fresh install (with Dalvik & Co.) the Play services crashed exactly 2 times.

They crashed 2 times before signing in or opening the Play Store. After those crashes: silence.

New test:

Play Store 5.7.10 & Play services 7.5.74 1997312-036

Google Account Manager 4.4.4-1227136 & Google Services Framework 4.4.4-1227136

Same build version for 'GAM' & 'GSF', not the latest but hopefully more stable.

Opened Play Store, signed in with account, all good.

Opened Google Settings (aka Google Account Manager), fiddled around, all good.

Disabling network connection (WiFi, etc.) caused a few crashes, when using Google Account Manager 4.4.2-940549 & Google Services Framework 4.4.2-940549.

Disabling network connection (WiFi, etc.) caused no crashes, when using Google Account Manager 4.4.4-1227136 & Google Services Framework 4.4.4-1227136.

For all the fearless fiddlers, I offer this new test version. Let's see if we can gather more experience and if dalvik wipe makes a noticeable difference.

Please visit the OP to download the most suitable GAPPS.

edit: Thanks to dhack21, his post kept me going instead of calling it a day.

eedit: All 4 apps receive a dalvik cache wipe when the zip file is flashed, so we don't have to wipe dalvik cache completely each time.

eeedit: Over 90 minutes running ➜ 1 crash after waking device from deep sleep ➜ Logcat reveals errors of google.gms components but I didn't get toast messages for all of them. Switching from Dalvik to ART, like romario3600 did.

eeeedit: After switching to ART the errors continue, identical to the previous problems. Annoying? Not really, services get restarted and apps work as they should.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Dantrpan:
There are. You need to sideload supersu. Then open it, and go to settings. Then uncheck "enable superuser", then full unroot.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
I've been using this for the last few updates. On this one I've had my phone restart 2-3 times since it was released. I have a feeling it's related with the Google Now Launcher as I'm usually doing a search when it locks up. Surely not a deal breaker, but figured I'd throw that out there!
[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
Here is the result of my Fire Phone battery life on latest CM11 build. 50% juice lasted almost 2 and half days with moderate use.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jmag999:
Is anyone else having trouble installing the Google Calendar app on this build? I am getting an error code of -8, which I can't find info on anywhere. All the other apps I have tried install and work fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Farlicimo:
I forget what version I used but I had that issue and was able to resolve by installing an older version and letting it upgrade.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Well, this happened again. This time I was in the KIK application using the Swiftkey Keyboard.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jmag999:
Thanks, that fixed it!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ItsDon:
For folks struggling with blown out pictures when using the flash in low light I found a band aid solution. Snap Camera (which has been mentioned here several times) has a "Torch mode" setting that turns on the flash (torch) and leaves it on until you exit the app. Much more convenient for me than having to do the 'saturation, white balance' etc. settings every time I want a low light photo. Takes pretty good pictures now :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Brandon4466:
Hey, does anyone have any information on NFC? If I can enable it, or when ggow might re-enable it?
[Amazon Fire Phone] java007:
See the first post in the thread under Known Issues. It's not working, and probably will not be anytime soon.

Also see: http://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/dev...unofficial-t3151443/post62044914#post62044914

Bottom line is that the lack of source is a major impediment to enabling NFC.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Brandon4466:
Yeah, but I remember that the first CM11 build had NFC enabled, I was wondering if I can reverse what ggow did to disable it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
It can't work without patches from amazons custom HAL/user space or unlocked bootloader. Similar issue with the camera HAL. Both of which unfortunately I don't see amazon providing.

However, I am trying to fix up the cm11 camera app to be able to handle the flash correctly and fix the in call mute button.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
It was enable but not working, see my previous post before this one.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SHRAPNEL189:
How is that even possible? Do you not use your phone LOL? I'm at like 20% before bed every day.

Edit: 3:30 of screen time in over 2 days, that's why LOL
[Amazon Fire Phone] Brandon4466:
I usually end at about 70% at the end of the day lol

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Thank you, ggow. I was under the impression that it was working, just draining too much battery. I understand now, thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Bro, Broooooo, listen to the kids, Broo. You wanna LOL some more, Bro? Thiz my SlimKat stats, with throttled CPU, Bro.

[IMG="***LOL***6***days***LOL***"]http://i.imgur.com/zv2qYNC.png[/IMG]

That's what it looks like if used strictly as a communication device (got dat juice savin' 2G for WhatsApp, bruh).

Mostly IM, a few "snappy" calls. No Periscope / Snapchat 'cause I'm not a pedophile / sexual predator. LOL.
[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
That's is possible, my device is on second month of its use, it has been underclocked to 1.5gh. With moderate use you easily get 3:30 screen time.

Furthermore, one of the reasons I'm not a fan of Fire OS is its terrible battery backup, on the other hand CM11 is great in terms of battery usage on this device.
[Amazon Fire Phone] killer_whale:
Thank you, it worked.

ggow, please add to the instruction that to fully remove all root traces you need to do the above. There are some useful applications that check if phone was rooted or not before allowing to use them like personal banking applications etc.
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
How did you underclock your phone? I thought it wasn't possible with the locked boot loader.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Wouldn't call it underclocked, since it's simply limited to a slower clock speed within the official range:

[IMG="Snapdragon 800 freq. & volt."]http://i.imgur.com/GEvdfED.png[/IMG]

"Kernel Adiutor" is one of the apps, that works well when it comes to changing the stock CPU / GPU / Governor settings.
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
Well now I feel dumb, I didn't think Kernel Adiutor would work on this device even though I've used it before a few times on other devices. By the way what configuration are you using apart from 2G data?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
CPU:

• maximum frequency: 1036

• governor: ondemand

• multicore power saving: enabled (when set to "aggressive", I believe it will force to use only 1 core for almost everything, all the time)

• input boost frequency: 1036

CPU Governor Tunables:

• down diff: 10

• down diff multicore: 3

• optimal freq: 883

• powersave_bias: 150

• sampling_down_factor: 1

• sampling_rate: 50.000

• sync_freq: 422

• up_threshold: 90 (for all 3 threshold variants)

GPU:

• maximum frequency: 320 / 389 (When set to 320, you will experience more stutter, especially when viewing complex elements / long lists)

! Be very careful with the GPU governor !

I wouldn't change it at all. I chose "a wrong one" and it caused the phone to crash / black screen after boot.

Luckily, I had the "apply on boot delay" set to 40 sec. while I was experimenting, so I could return to default with no hassle.

I haven't found information regarding the GPU, if throttling brings an advantage.

Some battery / power saving modes on other phones limit the CPU only, leaving the GPU unthrottled, so I assume it makes not a big difference on a "small" GPU like the Adreno 330 (which is capped at 450 on the SD 800 anyway).

We talked a bit about it in this derailed thread, starting around post #9, when I tried the 960 MHz setting with a full charge, I was getting the result that was posted above.

I chose the 960 / 1036 freq. simply because the voltage is still very close to the minimum "in use voltage" (750) and the phone is still usable for easy tasks.

My device had a slow week when I tested it, so it's def. not the most objective example. Keep in mind that my settings are mostly / only feasible for a "calls & messaging" usage behavior. ^^

I guess limiting it can make a bigger difference when the user is more active with the device, because having the phone idle a lot isn't a big achievement. ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
Thanks Bingo Bronson, I guess this isn't completely what I want but I could use it for reference.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sacomais:
hello everybody.

i'm new to this device (i just got one a couple of weeks ago for $99 yey!)

i'm planning to flash cm on it; i've read most of the posts in this thread but i still have some questions:

besides what is stated in the op (nfc not working, google play crashes, some camera apps nott working) is there anything else that doesn't work?

does the stock camera app work or is ther any camera app that works correctly?

how's battery life compared to stock? (battery life on stock is awesome!)
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Welcome :) you got a bargain .

The play services crashes are a thing of the past ,

work a rounds for the camera , snap camera is good ,

Battery is much better ,I was amazed at the difference :)

I wouldn't go back to stock myself .

Go for it . .

Edit Project Problem

[MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION]

- I want to update the project because I have a new release to make which I am usually able to do with no problem

- However the Edit Project Button doesn't seems to be showing up.

- I have tried my other threads with different web browsers etc and still the same problem.

- Is this something that you may be help me with

- Don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same?

EDIT: An admin contacted me who is going to look into it.

Have you tried a different site theme?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Good call on the theme :)

- Was using XDA 2015 Dark Theme

- Switched to XDA 2013 and Edit Project appearing now so maybe there is something in the XDA 2015 Dark Theme to look into.

- Thanks.

[MENTION=1329443]yt400pmd[/MENTION]

This isn't a good result, either your are a heavy user or the battery is worn out. I got 3 and half hours of screen on, during two and half days out only 50 percent juice.
[Amazon Fire Phone] yt400pmd:
This is normal usage for me, with no tweaks. This is much better then when I had fire OS
[Amazon Fire Phone] bolt890:
Can anyone confirm whether the max brightness of the panel is increased, for some reason it seems to be brighter on this rom.
[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
I can't say about max brightness level but daylight visibility is really good on this rom. On the other hand, the minimum brightness level in CM11 is quite brighter than minimum brightness level in Fire OS. I wish it could be a bit lower.
[Amazon Fire Phone] yt400pmd:
Try. Screen filter from the play store
[Amazon Fire Phone] Farlicimo:
Lux Auto Brightness is also a fantastic app and I've been using on the FP CM11.

New Build is Up

- Dated 2015-10-24

- Change log on Post #2
[Amazon Fire Phone] sacomais:
i flashed latest build but forgot to flash supersu package so i don't have root..

how do i get root now?

and why isn't the rom rooted?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Follow the instructions in the OP to get root (i.e. flash supersu.zip in safestrap and you will have root)

- If you want to retain root through upgrades then run the backup script from within supersu app)
[Amazon Fire Phone] sacomais:
i didn't flash supersu.zip so now i don't have root and since safestrap needs root i can't use it

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

nevermind, i used kingroot and when i get home i'll do the procedure to replace it with supersu app.

thanks for the rom, i'll give feedback in a couple of days
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I might be missing something here...

- But when you reboot you should still see and be able to run safestrap recovery regardless of root access in the running ROM.

- Did you try that?
[Amazon Fire Phone] sacomais:
i didn' try that but when i rooted with kingroot i was able to use safestrap and flash supersu.zip.. however supersu can't update binaries when kingroot is installed (don't know why).

so i guess i'll have to do the procedure to remove kingroot and replace with supersu
[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
Flash the superuser.zip file over your rom and reboot system...
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
I'm thinking about contacting Amazon again to ask them about Fire OS 5, bootloader unlock, and the system_core patches.

Thanks! I ran this update yesterday and have had zero problems so far. I know in a previous post you mentioned you were working on getting the camera and flash fixed. Any progress on that as I see it still functioning the same.

Do I 'need' to use the gapps listed in the OP? I used the generic Android 4.4 gapps from the CM website.
