There were some people searching for a way to get rid of the navbar and use gestures instead. I was one of them and I found a pretty cool solution which works flawless and is pretty easy to do:

1. Install Xposed Framework (your phone needs to be rooted, exposed will let you know if it is not).

2. In Xposed, download the module '3dot Mod' and activate it. This module will remove the navbar, but as apposed to removing it manually (eg. modifying the build.props) it will tell all apps that you need an options button right in the app (and not in the navbar). I tested this with Firefox for Android and it is all there. :)

3. Install an app that gives you gestures. I used 'All in one gestures' and configured 'swipe up' to replace the back button (like in the native fire phone rom). The physical button is used for anything else.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ItsDon:
Worked perfect, thanks for the heads up :)

BTW - HTC Blinkfeed with the exception of weather works great on this phone.

I also purchased the Amazon leather case (very nice!) and a slim Qi wireless charging adapter. I plugged the adapter in, placed the receiver next to the glass back and put the leather case on. With the exception of the tiny slim plug covering the charge port there is no way to tell the receiver is in there. I actually kinda like having the plug in the charge port as it adds a little moisture and dust proofing. This phone now has 'built-in' Qi wireless charging. Sweet.

I have a locked US version and have successfully rooted and put Safestrap into it. My question is will putting CM11 on it, will it brick my phone? I have successfully flashed on other locked phones in the past and am just wondering before I fully commit to doing this.

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Extremely unlikely it will brick your phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] rsshivs:
Thanks that worked. But i could see the previously installed apps directories, is there any way to wipe them cleanly? I mean Factory reset to Amazon Fire OS like how it was when i received my phone and begin the process freshly.?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Yes, to get back to Amazon Fire OS

- Boot into Amazon stock recovery

- Sideload Amazon Stock 4.6.1 update .bin file

- You will then have to root, install safestrap etc
[Amazon Fire Phone] ravi_buz:
Great work op! Great android experience on an amazing phone. Egarly waiting for cm12 ??

New Build 2015-07-25

- New Build is out

- See Post #3 for changes

- Made some progress with google play crashes
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Not to complain, but I had my first play services crash 10 minutes after updating. Previously, I hadn't had a single crash with the minimal GAAPs. I'll start logging it if it continues crashing at a noticeable rate.

But Benchmarks increased by ~3%...small but still significant. You're doing great work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] XRAYcr:
07/25 version

I'm kinda new messing with the fire phone. I'ts working fine on 07/08 release. But, is there any way to update to lastest version without flashing again? Will be data lost in the process?

BTW, so freaking nice running on CM11. I was about to get rid of this device with that FireOS crap, now, i'ts works like a charm.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Just dirty flash the 7/25 update. No need to wipe prior to flashing and no data is lost.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mniappa:
Browser issue

So Google Chrome and Opera go back to their home screens automatically after a few minutes of browsing. is this just on my phone or any one else getting the same experience?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No worries, thanks for letting me know.

I just got the first crash after a few hours of use.

Google Camera Upside down

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

Sorry for posting the bug here but I can't make the bug report page fully load.

I just flash the last version, and google camera it's upside down. Open Camera works just fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] darritech:
google play store crashes

so i just dirty flashed the latest update and google play store constantly crashes every time i open it. if a clear the cache/data it will open, but when i try to download an app, it will crash.
[Amazon Fire Phone] charlie460:
Thanks for your work, huge improvement over Fire OS which basically destroys the amazing value for hardware of this phone.

Have you made any progress with the camera bug affecting third party applications (notably SnapChat)?

It's a shot in the dark but one thing I noticed is that while neither camera works after logging into Snapchat, the front facing camera DOES work "behind" the login screen. Is it possible that it's trying to access a resolution the camera doesn't support once you're actually logged into the app? I suspect that it'd want to "pull" a lower resolution when it's just in the background, like at the login screen. Keep in mind I have no idea how any of this actually works, just wanted to point that out in hopes it might help you fixing the camera issue, which is the only con to CM over Fire OS right now.

Thanks again!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Metemptosis:
Camera..?

I already know about the camera problems in 3rd party apps, but recently in both Open Camera and Google Camera it will say something along the lines of "Cannot connect to camera" when I switch between the front and back cameras. If I reopen open camera at least, it'll open the camera last chosen, so if I force quit the app I can effectively switch cameras. Also I can't record rear-facing video?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Do we have a general consensus for which gapps behaves best? Last nite after reading this entire thread I decided to flash the clean system zip and try opengapps. Less play services crashes so far but notice slight performance decrease in chrome. The pages render a little slower resulting in not clicking on links accurately (not terrible, just my experience.)

I'm thinking I might do a clean install for the newest cm update but no rush. Hoping to get some input on which gapps packages work best with it.

Users have narrowed it down to 3 but its still unclear if one stands out. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
That is strange, Google camera is the right way up for me.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ItsDon:
For me also. I don't use HDR and Google camera works great, both front and back cameras. Takes good pictures as well.
[Amazon Fire Phone] neongold:
The Rom makes my Fire Phone incredibly smooth. :)

Also for anyone having issues with Snapchat. I highly suggest using the latest Casper for Snapchat as a work around.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Snapchat and other 3rd party apps that use the camera are a known issue. It's not going to be an easy fix.

I'll add a section in the op about known issues to make it clearer.
[Amazon Fire Phone] XRAYcr:
Probably because I did a dirty flash. I will try a wipe and clean flash and let you know the results
[Amazon Fire Phone] Peterpaulmarie:
07/25

I'm running newest Rom since few hours w/o any problems. Perfect work! Thanx a lot!

Open camera works fine. No crashs of google services.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cdudeman:
Thanks for the new build. No crashes so far after an hour. I wiped dalvik and cache after flash.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kirz.cnse:
Thanks for this incredible rom. Turns the crappy fire phone into a great device as it was supposed to be.

Going to buy a large "coffee" for ggow :o
[Amazon Fire Phone] Moogagot:
Quick question:

Will updating re-set my apps and settings or will I be OK?
[Amazon Fire Phone] jman315:
Same issue for me. I flashed the system clean zip before flashing the latest rom. So far everything else is working fine. Really enjoying the fire phone with cm11.
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
Stock camera app has the viewfinder upside down for the back facing camera. Front facing camera is ok for me. Google camera has no issues for me. By the way why is the stock camera back? Didn't you remove it ggow?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes I forgot to remove the stock camera in this build. Sorry about that. I was using it for testing purposes.

Have added a note to the change log about stock camera.
[Amazon Fire Phone] HKSpeed:
I tried installing the Amazon Music app, but I get "Your device isn't compatible with this version". What can I do to install it?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Moogagot:
My question was lost:

Will updating to the new CM version re-set my apps and settings or will I be OK?
[Amazon Fire Phone] king200:
Without the stock camera, the camera button worked to bring up Snap camera but now, it only brings up stock. Freezing stock, the camera button does nothing. Camera button to wake, when selected in settings, doesn't work for me either.

Google camera is ok and the camera button works fine for taking pic.

The still present play services crash is annoying only.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I'll do another release tomorrow which removes the stock camera.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jman315:
Put the amazon app store on your device and then install it from there.
[Amazon Fire Phone] HKSpeed:
Your suggestion work. Thank you very much. :good: :good: :good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] Minh.wins:
I don't think i see this mentioned anywhere or maybe I missed it but before doing anything at all I have to root it first off, correct? So I'm looking at a sealed in box fire phone now. I'm gonna open it, turn it on then how I root it? Do I root it then back up the original software that is on the phone or back up first then root? How do I back up? Do I download something on amazon store or plug into computer and copy paste everything over?

Would someone please guide me step by step?

Much appreciate
[Amazon Fire Phone] Fun Jas:
thank u so much for you have done,but there are still some bugs

1.the camera button can only be used for google camera,but the google camera does not work correctly.

2.the camera can not be used for scanning QR code?is there any possibilities to fix it?
[Amazon Fire Phone] SirMartyMcFly:
NFC clarification

When you mention that you have...

- "Disabled NFC for now,...."

does this mean that it is rendered unusable with this update, or is it simply toggled off? The only reason I bought this phone was to play around with the NFC. Wanted to play with your ROM but if I'm to take that bullet point from this update note literally, I will have to pass. Please advise. Thanks in advance for your time with this, it is appreciated.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Moogagot:
There is a great guide on Reddit (r/firephone) but I can't link due to post count.
[Amazon Fire Phone] romario3600:
There is a guide in the questions and answers section, it's called root, safestrap, cm11
[Amazon Fire Phone] rjmohit:
I know we've talked about this before, but it'll be great if you can add back calendar, it's only a few megs and I really want to use the stock calendar. Please consider this request. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] yinping4256:
bug report link is broken

Thank you very much for your work!

I will stick to CM11 ~

Just a little concern:

1. bug report link is broken

2. wifi still can't detect 5G band

3. using mini Gapps will lead to crashes in some apps, for example: Vons
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I'll add back the stock calendar and browser in the next build today.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I think Pico PA_Gapps is the best to use, I'll update the OP with a link to that.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- NFC is not working yet which is why it is disabled in the build

- The service attempts to start then fails repeatedly
[Amazon Fire Phone] snakedr:
Thanks for the hard work.

Just to confirm - it's possible to remove safestrap, root and cm11 without a trace? if so, is this a simple process?
[Amazon Fire Phone] chris_ds:
I kind of like the stock camera. The only thing that's wrong with it is that it's upside down. Is there a wayto fix this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes by sideloading the stock 4.6.1 amazon .bin file.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes, I am intending to fix it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mnknight:
My first impression of CM11 it makes my Fire phone awesome. the draw back in no 5ghz Wifi ( not a deal breaker), the camera which I don't really use again not a deal breaker. overall this project has made my fire phone usable again. I do have an odd question though, why does CM11 use trebuchet? that launcher is not at all personalize it to the users desires. Again not a deal breaker installed Nova and removed trebuchet through Titanium backup.

My hats off to the sole Dev who is working to bring a great ROM to a great piece of hardware.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Amazon/Lab126 platform_system_core patches

- Amazon have made patches to the liblog.so located in platform_system_core, which I have been working around as much as possible until now.

- there is a function defined called lab126_log_write2() in particular which amazon did not release the source code for (they did release system_core patches for the kindle hdx)

- all amazon's binary blobs have dependencies on this and other lab126_log functions.

- NFC and other functions will not work correctly without the patches.

- Does anyone know if these patches would be subject to GPL?

- If they are I might contact amazon and ask that they release them.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jonasroenick:
Thank you!

Great Rom.

I made a tutorial Series on my youtube Channel TechReviews DE. Maybe it help many people. :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] KimAwet:
how to return to original fire OS??

Ultimately I want to use two OS, cm11 and fire OS.

I did backup present cm11 rom and tried to install fire OS through safestrap 'install' mode. But flashing the fire OS 4.6.1 bin file failed.

What should I do to return to fire OS?

and is installing two OS(cm11 and fire OS) impossible?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Use this http://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/development/safestrap-v4-flashable-stock-image-t3150531

- Only the stock slot works correctly on Safestrap so you can only have one OS at a time.
[Amazon Fire Phone] king200:
First off, the version of Saftstrap we use may not even support creating the partitions.

I'm far from an expert with Safestrap. I practiced here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53659493&postcount=1 You have to create a second partition with Safestrap, 'slot1 in addition to keeping the 'stock' partition. I checked and the available space for a second partition may not be large enough for FF stock. Someone else can likely answer that question. Checking is risky business because you might wipe current system while doing so.

If you have the 2 partitions, you select the 'active partition' and then install a .zip Rom, Stock .img or restore a previous TWRP backup.

Most 2 slot partitions do not work or they are unpredictable and bug ridden.

New Build

- New Build - 2015-07-26

- See Change log on Post #3
[Amazon Fire Phone] keinam.ty:
Ohh, now I know why I have two cameras, one stock nexus camera and another from the play store.

What's interesting is that the camera button fires up the stock camera. - but no any other camera if the stock one is removed.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I found you can reset it by doing this:

- On the lock screen look for the camera icon in the bottom right corner

- swipe it left and select which camera you want as default
[Amazon Fire Phone] keinam.ty:
OK great! Awesome...

I also noticed you post new build. I'll do a clean install today.
[Amazon Fire Phone] tin-naga:
First, thank you for your hard work on Safestrap and CM.

I would check out the LGPL here: source.android.com/source/licenses.html

Sounds hopeful at least.

Flashed the new ROM , cooking good , no Google Play stopped working messages so far , thanks .

Any advantages in flashing the new Gapps ,as it seems to all work OK at the moment .

Is anyone else having problems with Google Play store crashing when they tried to open it? It occurred after flashing to 7.26. Flashed back to 7.15 and it us still occurring, can't open the Play store at all now.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
No problems here , just flashed the new ROM , opened Play store , downloaded a game and played it :)

Try a new flash maybe

Oh , or a reboot of the phone first
[Amazon Fire Phone] hkteen86:
Hi, thank you for getting cm11 onto this phone. i have flashed the rom successfully but forgot to download Gapps and now realized theres no stock brower as well. i tried plugging it into the computer but windows 7 does not recognize the device and would not install the drivers.

my question is, is there a way for me to download the Gapps onto the phone? i enabled usb debugging and mtp on the device with no luck and i tried looking up instructions for installing the drivers manually (unsuccessfully). i tried using minimal adb and fast boot but it does not detect the device as well. any advise will be appreciated, thank you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dhack21:
Go to settings then storage then change USB connection to MTP. Then it'll mount on your computer.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SirMartyMcFly:

- Thank you for the follow up. I'll follow the project and look forward to future updates. Good job.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Firebug2:
Tried a reboot, tried a new flash with a reboot. Still can't get Google Play Store to work.

Problem started after flashing to 7.26 then trying to download Google Calander. I really don't want to wipe the phone and reload everything.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Abgesandter:
Have a problem

Really nice work dude :)

Its fast and much better than this FireOS 4.6.1 but there is one problem. My CPU is only running at max 1.7 GHz and i cant override it to get it to the standard 2.2 GHz. I tried Trickster Kernel Mod to "OC" my CPU but it didnt make it. For one second its 2.2 GHz then but then next moment it changes to 1.7 GHz again. So my CPU is stayin on max 1.7 GHz under full load :( I dont know what i can do to change this. Do someone else has this Problem to? Can someone help me?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Speed and governor are controlled in the kernel, not in the ROM. With the bootloader locker, ggow is unable to make changes to the kernel. Your phone is dynamically scaling processor speed as dictated by Amazon.

I will say however that with ggow's library optimizations, I am getting AnTuTu benchmarks north of 43000 where I was getting ~39000 on stock.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hkteen86:
Hi, thank you for the reply. i have tried that and unfortunately that did not work for me.

Joined the party!

After hanging out on the stock Fire OS with google apps installed for the last week learning the phone as is, I finally rooted, installed safestrap, backed up the stock fire OS, and installed CM 11. After your updates and revisions ggow, I am finally fashionably late to your party :o

I forgot how much fun it is to set up android from scratch and how time consuming it is :p I am fortunate this is an extra phone for me after the latest sale on Amazon ;) Can't wait to play. I have one foot into the iOS and the other into Android, and if I had a 3rd it would be into windows phone 8- cyan.

Currently have a blackwireless sim in this firephone now but that's only for the next 3 weeks. After that, who knows, it could have my main ATT sim!

[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Just flash the rom and reboot. If you didn't setup supersu to survive updates then flash that too.

Go to settings<status bar>then change the battery to text
[Amazon Fire Phone] CHANEL 08:
Thanks for the quick replay.

I didn't setup supersu (Don't know what is that).

How do I flash the ROM?

Once I flash the ROM - all my data (as email accounts) and apps I installed will lost?

Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Have you tried just going in to the app settings and wipe cache ? :)

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------

Download the ROM , switch off your phone , switch back on , select the left hand choice , recovery , then next screen select install and select your new ROM .

I never lost anything using this method .

Good luck

[QUOTE ]

I installed HDX Nexus Gapps and now want to use Mini Gapps package. However CM-11 seems to preserve HDX Nexus Gapps. How do I fix this?

Answer:

- Flash this in Safestrap

- This wll clean the /system partition ready for fresh installation.

- You will then need flash a new ROM, Gapps etc.

- This is required, as a result of a change I made in the recovery code to protect Safestrap from been wiped out.

I use Kernel Adiutor to modify frequencies & governor (it can also edit the hostname, build prop, etc.) I was getting 41 - 42K on a debloated stock FireOS...

Now, I only use it for throttling but even with those settings, the SD 800 is still unimpressed with handling a lightweight CM11:

- CPU max. freq. 1497 MHz.

- Governor: conservative

- Multicore power saving: aggressive

- Input boost freq. 1574 MHz

- GPU max. freq. 320 MHz

Is anyone running the ROM using ART (I just saw KitKat is running in Dalvik after flashing)? Any recommendation which runtime to use on FirePhone?

well...

Dalvik is the default runtime, when ART was introduced, they always pointed out that it's experimental (talking about devices running KK)...

Oh, I obviously missed the discussion in this thread earlier :(. Thanks for bringing those statements up again!

I guess I will stay with Dalvik then - even you have not observed any problems on your phone.

I tried what you told me. Unfortunately(or fortunately?) flashing a fire OS on 'slot1' failed.
