[Amazon Fire Phone] br0adband:
Ok, so I got a Fire Phone a few days ago for $10 (stuck in the battery bootloop, new battery on order and will arrive next week, phone works when plugged into an actual AC charger but not USB ports) and luckily it had 4.6.1 on it and I was able to root it with Kingroot and get this unofficial Lineage installed and it works fine overall. I'm noticing some issues with touch sensitivity or general lag that I wasn't expecting, wondering if that's related to the cameras on the front if they're even still enabled to any degree at all in this ROM (more than likely not enabled since that 3D functionality wouldn't be part of Lineage anyway).

But here's the reason for this post:

I'd like to be able to alter the CPU governor which is apparently set to ONDEMAND by default. I have flashed SuperSU on it so root is active but whenever I attempt to change the governor it simply won't change and I'm not specifically sure as to why it won't change. I haven't tried to use any other kernel tweaking app like EX kernel manager or Trickster MOD (both of which I paid for) so before I dig further I figured I'd ask in this thread.

Is it possible to adjust/change the governor to interactive in some manner? If it requires me editing some config file I'm more than happy to do it but if it's something I can't change then I'll live it with it. ONDEMAND seems a bit more power hungry than I'd like - I really wish there was a custom kernel for this device with more options/governors/etc but I suppose that'll just never happen considering the locked bootloader unfortunately.

But in my experience using the Interactive governor on most devices offers smoother performance and it might also address the touch based issues I'm noticing, at least that's the hope.

It's not a bad phone overall, but obviously FireOS is just too limited and having "proper" Android on here is a very welcome change so thanks for the efforts of those involved with creating this unofficial Lineage for it.

Any assistance or info is greatly appreciated...

Did you try Kernel Adiutor? Currently I'm not using it but this did the job for me.

Thomas
[Amazon Fire Phone] br0adband:
I hadn't tried that one (and I purchased the actual original version too but I have the Mod version around here someplace). Thanks for the reminder, will see what that one is capable of here in a few moments when I track down the APK.

Moments later...

Success, with Kernel Adiutor-Mod! :D

Now we'll see if it makes any difference overall in terms of noticeable performance.

Flashed 20170424 over the 20170105 build and was stuck in bootloop. Wiped dalvik/cache, but did not help. Not sure what to try next so I am back on 20170105 for now, working fine.

Thanks everyone for keeping this community alive!

On One of my firephones the hotspot don't work. No one can see the hotspot.

Perhaps something happen because of a nand backup.

How can i "reset" the wifi settings?
[Amazon Fire Phone] geotsai:
I have a weird issue... I had originally clean-flashed lineage 11-20170424 via safestrap. Unfortunately, it bootlooped like a few people experienced here. I was not able to restore from my previous backup, so I decided to ADB sideload within safestrap and managed to install lineage 11-20170424. However, I did not sideload root, or anything else, just the rom.

Now my phone boots! However, it does not have safestrap installed anymore, and since lineage does not come with root built in, I cannot do anything from rom either. Can someone give any pointers on how I should proceed to re-install safestrap?
[Amazon Fire Phone] carlosm0177:
Hi, Sorry for my English, Something similar happened to me, I had lineage and trying to play pokemon, I unroot my phone, after that safestrap didnt had access to the internal storage and couldnt restore my cel, so in order to root again I install super su from the play Store and then Install Kingroot.

New build , first look

Ok ive just installed the new rom . No issues so far , installation was a breeze as before.

Wifi 5ghz band seams fine to me , signal strength appears stronger now . Download and upload speeds are decent, getting 41Mbps Download and 13 Upload.

Camera button works, with the Cam FV-5 app .

Thanks for all the hard work

Regards

[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Didn't understand it at first. I thought you meant that we could launch the Camera app pushing the button.

Also, after flashing the latest build, the Play Store disappeared. I'm using the minimal GApps by RolanDroid. If someone else has that issue, just reflash the minimal GApps.
[Amazon Fire Phone] transentient:
When I flash the new rom, tonight I am going to use the mini-gapps rom as well to see if the google app store crashes abate (my only issue so far).

But going forward, can you flash an upgraded rom using SafeStrap and preserve your apps and settings? I will see if I can set SuperSU to survive OTA.
[Amazon Fire Phone] wezbrookes17:
I've tried but its saying my phone isn't rooted very confused right now if i figure it out i'll get back to you wish i had mobile data though :(

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I was doing some work on Stock Camera, when I had that one installed it could start with the camera button.

I'm not sure if there is a way to define another camera app as default so that it could also start with the button.

I just checked the content of RolanDroid's mini gapps and it doesn't have the backup scripts that are needed to survive update of the ROM.
[Amazon Fire Phone] transentient:
When I first flashed my phone, I only flashed the CM11 rom and the HDX apps. I did not flash the SuperSU .zip file. So I wound up with a CM11 phone I did not have root on :)

But, since I already had safestrap installed, I was able to just wipe everything and reflash.

Now I have root again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
my opinions so far;

5ghz speed is roughly the same as previous build. nothing worth noting.

Any HDR option will freeze the camera, regardless of which app it is. regular photos in open camera are pretty good though, sans HDR.

Battery life will be updated once I get down to 0%..

Mute button during calls does not work yet.

a few hours in and no play service crashes..
[Amazon Fire Phone] mrapitis:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] any chance you had a moment to look at the mute function during phone calls? do you need me to enter a bug report and grab a logcat? awesome work btw

Hello [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION], still cannot connect to 5GHz channels 149-161. From just a quick test, the 36-48 channels seem to have better throughput at longer distance (i.e. I can connect in my living room and get nearly the same throughput as my Note 4...last time I had to be in the same room as the router to connect.)

I...am...an...idiot

Okay, so I was getting these weird errors from the Play Store saying that I had no space left for apps. I had only used 2 gigs on apps and had a total of over 24 gigs left on the phone, so this seemed strange to me. I decided to reset and start from scratch. I wiped to factory reset with Safestrap and then accidentally rebooted. I came back into Safestrap, flashed the ROM, the GAPPS, and SU--all successfully. I then rebooted...

Crash...Safestrap failed to activate, and the Amazon recovery came up instead. Do I want to factory reset? Sure. Death. Every time it reboots, it goes to the Amazon recovery with the options to reboot, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset (doesn't work of course) , or wipe cache partition.

I'm pretty sure I killed it. Any help would be appreciated, though there may be nothing that can be done.:crying:
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
I recommend simply sideloading the stock ROM through ADB and starting over. It is fairly painless.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Unsure as to what you are asking, if your talking about fixing instagram on miui, then no.

On the latest build I have just done of lineage-11.0 - I have tested taking a picture from within the instagram app and it seems to work just fine.

Ok. I am waiting your latest update, and i will test instagram camera and report if works or not.

[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
I had the boot loop as well, but I figured it was because shortly before this update and phone restart I was changing the theme from TW Material (mentioned by [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] in this thread I believe) to Halo Default and left the boot animation setup for TW Material by accident. I ran a backup I saved in January, changed the entire theme to Halo Default, and was able to install this update with out a problem. I'm not sure if it was related to the theme at all, but I figured I'd mention it!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
No bootloop here. Did just a dirty flash of LineageOS,, freshly downloaded OpenGapps pico and SuperSU and everything works fine.

I do not use a different boot animation but LiveBoot is running - didn't cause any problems.

Really cool!

Boot loop

Hello,

i have installed the newest update. Before installing i had an old version (Cyanogenmod from here last year). I have made a factory reset and installed the actual lineage + arm gapps stock. The problem is, i have a bootloop and i cannot transfer now files to the phone. All is deleted and adb i don't really know. Anybody can help me to get files to phone?

Thanks really much! :)

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
If you are stuck in bootloop can you send me a logcat, so I can try and figure out why?

Or do you mean you have fixed it, if so how did you fix it?

Has anyone stuck in bootloop tried wiping caches and dalvik?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ekam99:
Sure, always dirty flash and always wiping caches and dalvik. For me April's update caused bootloop and the latest also. 03/25 one works flawlessly.

ps. don't know if this matters but I use default Holo theme and Android L Lite icons
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes, the theme and icons is likely the issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ekam99:
No go. Before flash I switched everything to Holo, still bootloop.

Which theme will work in your opinion? I only have Holo and L Lite.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cmb6:
I had the bootloop with dirty and clean flashes of the July update. I hadn't changed anything from the default theme.

I apologize for not sending a logcat. Do the files get saved automatically? If so, where can I find them?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Eleichstetten:
Same here. Did a clean installation. Now the lineageos logo is cycling and about every 10s you can feel a soft vibration.

That´s all.

Did try to reflash lineage. No error, but also no change.

Did try to install CM11 again, that was running before. Now the same thing happens: CM logo showing up continously

and a soft vibration every ~10s.

Can boot to recovery, but how can I transfer anything to the phone? Don´t get connection while beeing in recovery.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Same bootloop issue here. I had miui 7 before flashing latest lineage os

SOMEONE CAN HELP US? I have softbrick and i detailed up the problems, i can't sideload any amazon firmware
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Are you in the right folder when issuing the 'adb sideload update.bin'

Is the file you are trying to sideload named 'update.bin'

The error you are getting suggests the file doesn't exist in the location that you are trying to sideload from.

You can also only sideload original amazon firmware .bin files from stock recovery.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
MAN, I flashed your latest rom>bootloop

I flashed your april rom>bootloop>safestrap lost(i think and root is lost, adb shell gives error:closed), just amazon recovery

I try to sideload your roms from stock recovery> signature failed

I try to sideload amazon stock firmware> cannot read

Update.bin exists in desktop, so i press shift+right click and open command prompt window here, adb devices shows amazon, but when i try to sideload always i get "cannot read" and if i don't rename firmware, same problem

I try to reinstall adb drivers, same problem

How can i enter fastboot mode? Can fastboot mode help me?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Fastboot mode won't help. The only thing to get you up and running is to sideload fireos 4.6.x.x

If anyone has access to safestrap and is in bootloop, you can use cleansystempartition.zip to force clean the system partition. This is the only way to ensure a fresh installation. See the op to get the zip file.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
I tried to sideload cleansystemparition.zip, signature verification failed. I have amazon stock recovery, and when phone bootloops shows cm bootanimation
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
You misunderstood, the comment about cleansystempartition.zip was to help anyone with access to safestrap that was stuck in bootloop.

It still remains you can only sideload amazon stock firmware bin files within amazon stock recovery. I am unsure as why you can't at the moment.

Because you have lost safestrap. You could try a factory reset from stock recovery. Then try booting again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
I factory reseted the phone many times, NOW i sideloaded fireOS 3.5 and now i get error at installing update:

!assert failed: getprop (ro.product.device)== kodiak (ro.build.product)== kodiak

E: Error in /tmp/update.zip

Status 7

Installation aborted.!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
You can't downgrade to fireos 3.5 from any 4.6.x.x version. Even if you could it would result in a hard brick.

I would download fireos 4.6.6.1 directly from the amazon website and try sideloading that. The md5 should be 6cfffcd30be99ab7c8c401ac849c4f62
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
4.6.6.1 says adb cannot read

---------- Post added at 17:07 ---------- Previous post was at 17:05 ----------

How i can fix cannot read error?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Eleichstetten:
If I cannot connect from PC while being in Safestrap to transfer a file: Is this a PC (driver) issue?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
You can adb push files to through safestrap.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Eleichstetten:
Well, the question will be: which files?

As same thing is happening eather using the lineage-ROM or the old CM11, I don´t have an idea, how to solve the issue.

What I did was: transfer the new ROM and GAPPS to the phone while it was still running on CM11.

Made a factory reset and then did install ROM and GAPPS using Safestrap. Did wipe cache and Dalvik and rebooted.

That´s it. Since that it´s starting up with Safestrap still available, but stays in Lineage Logo (smiling) with moving "o"

and a soft vibrate from time to time. I waited more than one hour, but did not change situation.

Data is still available, so I have still access to both ROMs, GAPPS ... through Safestrap filemanager.

The fault I made: I did extract the backup to my PC so it´s not on the phone :eek:

That was definitely no good idea.

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

Ok, actual state:

Did download CleanSystemPartition.zip from OP (Opening Post)

Used adb to push it by sideload to the phone.

Started Safestrap and installed CleanSystemPartition, then installed LigeageOS-ROM.

Now the phone does start to LineAge, but Safestrap is gone.

Next: Try to reinstall Safestrap. (Any recommendation how to do best?)

Pay attention!!!

After applying CleanSystemPartition you should not only install Lineage, but also GAPPS AND SuperSU!

You will have to reinstall Safestrap again. And that can only be done with a routed device!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Process would be this:

IMPORTANT: do NOT reboot until the end of the process

Within Safestrap

1. adb push latest lineage ROM, Gapps, SuperSU-2.4.6 and cleansystempartition.zip

2. factory reset

3. flash cleansystempartition.zip

4. flash the rom

5. flash gapps (use latest opengapps, pico or nano)

6. flash supersu 2.4.6

7. reboot

8. Hopefully all should be good again, otherwise there is something else wrong.

This is the process I used when initially porting safestrap and cm-11.

Good luck and let me know what happens.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Download Safestrap, copy to the phone and install the apk then run and install recovery and you should be back up and running.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Eleichstetten:
After all, the phone is not rooted anymore.

Unfortunately I haven´t installed GAPPS, so I don´t have access to the PlayStore.

Is there a possibility in LineageOS to activate root or has this to be done by recovery or adb?

Fortunately I have still a KingRoot.apk on the pone.

But what would be the recommended way if somebody does not have?

Sorry for asking me this way, but I have the strong feeling, that there may be others in the same situation,

which may not have this option.

Kingroot is not an option, as the apk I have on the phone, cannot root the device
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
You should have flashed SuperSU 2.46, don't know another way.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
How can i fix adb sideload error: "cannot read". i am using adb like this: 1. adb devices-shows my firephone 2. adb sideload filename and then "cannot read "filename", i don't get this error all time, when i try to sideload 4.6.6.1 or 4.6.x fireos, 3.5 works but fails with "signature verification failed". I can't install update from sdcard, just adb. I hope someone can help me, i don't have another phone and sorry for my english
[Amazon Fire Phone] Eleichstetten:
That I did not do. Well, that´s the problem. :(

Any chance to start from scratch?

I still have have the last update from FireOS: "update-kindle-34.4.6.6_user_466001420.bin".

Any chance to utilize that to go back to FireOS and then restart from new?

(By the way: did change my post, where I described the usage of CleanSystemPartition and added

a hint for installing GAPPS and SuperSU.)

[Amazon Fire Phone] Eleichstetten:
That´s what I did and now the Phone is up an running again. With LineageOS now.

Just for information:

I did sideload FireOS, did root with Kingroot, did install Safestrap and then, out of Safestrap, I installed LineageOS.

This did not work flawlessly.

Same thing happend again and again. Got some routine to use adb.

Figured out, that GAPPS was the dealbreaker.

I´ve been using OpenGAPPS Micro and, yes it was the correct version. I did check it, I did download it from

OpenGAPPS again, checked it binary. File was correct.

Then did download OpenGAPPS Pico and, what should I say, it did the job.

What I needed in addition, to what is included in Pico, I did download from PlayStore later.
