Have you got a screen protector installed?

That can interfere with the light sensor

Not experienced any problems with the gyroscope, send a logcat when the issue is occurring and I'll take a look.
[Amazon Fire Phone] romario3600:
No screen protector or case on the phone, and OK I'll do that when it happens again

Android is upgrading optimizing apps

Well thanks, but I'd like to make sure we are talking about the same issue, right Ggow?

---------- Post added at 03:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

And I can only say this reminds me of some sort of an effect/affect as zipalign? And anyhow, I love this rom, thank you ggow
[Amazon Fire Phone] hassantalal11:
Yes brother talking about same issue
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
Thanks guys, i too was able to fix the optimizing problem by clean installing and using 30th july gapps
[Amazon Fire Phone] rjjr12:
Awesome, thank you! I'm going to wait for next update just to see if it changes. Thanks again!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Thanks! Did just a dirty flash with latest CM11 and older Gapps and this issue is gone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hackashaq:
Anyone know if there I a way to use the Fire Nexus Boot animation on this CM11 rom? thanks for any help!
[Amazon Fire Phone] tarnyc:
Theme engine works with this rom, just check the play store for cm11 themes and you'll find plenty with the nexus boot animation. Alternatively I'm sure you can find a flashable zip if you don't want to use the themes.
[Amazon Fire Phone] XRAYcr:
No network

I just updated to the last version, but now I cant get my device to connect to the network.

No service so far. If I go to settings and try looking for networks, an error message shows up "Error looking for networks". If I try choose automatically, the error changes to "Unable to establish connection with the network, try again later".

I already tried flashing the rom for a second time without results.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Alfre97:
Help :(

Hello guys! I'm doing this reply because I already search a thousand posts about this but with no good results for me!

My Question: Is there any way to auto boot my fire phone when I connect it to the USB cable? A file to edit in system folder or something like that.

Thank you for your help! :D
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
I have no problem with this rom and latest update. Did you dirty flash twice? If so you might want to try to do a clean install or revert to a good backup and dirty flash again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hitm@n1:
I´ve updated to the 2016-09-15 CM11 Version. Since the update I can´t playing Pokemon Go. It stucks on the screen, when I will lock in with my Google Account. It display "Unable to authenticate". What can I do?
[Amazon Fire Phone] tarnyc:
Pokemon Go versions past 0.37 no longer allow rooted devices, there's been a lot of complaints about it. As of right now the only real way to play while keeping root is something called Magisk (systemless root), but that's only available for phones with an unlocked bootloader (ours is locked).

So to play pokemon go on our phone with this rom you can not have root access (superuser). It's up to you to decide whether you think its worth it. To remove root, you can try uninstalling all apps that utilize root (including xsposed modules and framework, doing a full unroot in the superuser app, flashing the system cleanup zip from the OP, and then flashing the newest rom without superuser (remember to wipe cache/dalvik). Some people in previous posts have reported that works, though it didn't for me. The only thing that worked me was a full wipe in recovery (cache, dalvik, system, and data).

Make sure you do a backup before trying any of this, in case you decide pokemon go isn't worth the hassle. Hopefully someone comes up with a fix soon that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader, otherwise I think many pokemon trainers will be retiring in the next few days.

EDIT: fyi even doing a fresh install still might not work because we use safestrap. The only real REAL way to guarantee pokemon go works is on the stock rom, which is something I'm guessing you aren't interested in since you're in a cm11 rom thread.
[Amazon Fire Phone] superswain:
I flashed 'clean system partition flashable.zip' then wipe cache & dalvik and reboot.

My firephone doesn't work anymore. It just show amazon logo when I powered on.

It can access amazon's recovery (turn on with volume up button.) I don't know what to do.

what can I do ???
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
Download the bin file from here on your pc. Make sure you have adb setup on your pc if not use this.

Place the downloaded bin file inside the adb folder on windows and rename it to update.bin to ease up the process. Connect your phone to pc, in stock recovery go to apply update from adb, then open command prompt and type the command;

adb sideload update.bin

After the process completes you will have the stock fire os on your phone.

If you want to install CM11 you have to root it again using King Root and install safestrap.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Brandon4466:
This should be easily fixable! I suggest you take a look at the guide on the front page of http://www.reddit.com/r/firephone named "How to fix your unusable Fire Phone"!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Kryxan:
Don't see off hand, other than camera and hardware button issues what else is not functioning properly?

Thank you BTW. I will be trying this out as soon as I can get the time.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
some report constant play services crashing, 5ghz wifi can be iffy for some.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
The mute button in phone calls doesn't mute.

Little Google Play Services issues, no biggie.

No Android Wear.

No OTG.

No NFC.

Some apps that use the camera don't work, they freeze

No dealbreakers IMO.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hungrymr2:
Tried Mini-gapps, and it seems to work better than HDX. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] fuelvolts:
No Android wear? Seriously? I just picked up a refurbished LG G watch and it should be here soon. My Pebble works flawlessly.

I've also been using Snap Camera unlocked. It takes great pictures.
[Amazon Fire Phone] OffBeatMammal:
with Dalvik runtime mine is behaving pretty well - same issues others see with 5Ghz (can't easily change my wifi as it's at work!), Google Play randomly stopping (will try the mini-gapps to see if that helps) and, mute, NFC and camera not playing nice (in scanner apps eg Authy). Battery life so far seems good. Would love to be able to map the camera and home buttons to do useful things

when I switched to ART runtime however the apps still mostly behave but after about 5 mins the phone would totally shut down and I'd have to power it back on :( still CM does warn pretty strongly that's not really recommended

all-in-all those... this is amazing. I'd rather given up hope of my Fire Phone every really having a reason to get charged up but at this rate it coul dbecome my daily driver while the battery lasts! Really looking forward to the next (and subsequent) drops... do you think this would ever become an "official" Cyanogenmod delivery so we can do OTAs vs manual re-flash (not that it's a hardship this way)
[Amazon Fire Phone] keinam.ty:
I can confirm, plat services sometimes crash I think, and the phone does not see 5ghz WiFi.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
It will see 5ghz. Switch channel on router to a lower channel like 36,40,44 etc. But for whatever reason speeds are very slow. At least that's what myself and others experience.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ironfist469:
My Fire Phone is CM11!!!!! Very Good!!!

Hello for all, I give my a gratefulness to ggow for the ROM. My phone is a working with this ROM. WiFi perfect, 3GSM perfect.

The only problem is the camera. I undestand what the development for make this ROM is very hard and must understand the effort to make the compilation.

I want to ask a question, Is possible fix to camera? and the amazon applications only tree or four some relevance. The rest is just energy consumption and I care about is the functionality and speed offered cyanogenmod.

Thanks and very much thanks.....:)
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
my speedtest on 5ghz is just fine on channel 38.

50 down and 9.7 up. 11ms ping.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Weird. My max DL speed is 150 down and I do get that on Mac 5ghz. Could be other things at play but I don't see what. I have an ac router and this is one of 4 ac devices I own so I figured the speed would be pretty good.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
I just have a linksys N900 with dual band.

reason may be because my internet is only 100 down, 25 up.
[Amazon Fire Phone] keinam.ty:
I realize this is probably a hobby for the OP, but regardless this is a nice thing being put together.

It seems that most are experiencing issues with the following as do I:

-Camera (washed-out pictures). Interesting, the Google camera works for me after update from play store but the issue with pictures remains.

-Wifi, I do too get low speeds on Wifi and some frequencies aren’t being picked up.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

Does anyone have similar issues with physical buttons?

1. All buttons act as power button to wake the phone up. The phone should wake up with power button only I think?

2. Home button and soft home button act as one and the same. I guess this is fine but I wish I could assign the physical to something.

3. The camera button doesn’t work at all, it is just there. Is there a way to assign it ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] king200:
Buttons waking up phone is ok, including the camera button. My Galaxy S4 and S5 did that too.

Long press the soft home button brings up the CM target programs and I have long press physical button is assigned Google Search.

Camera FV-5http://www.camerafv5.com/ yields sharp, hi res pics, beautifully. The only way I can make it zoom is assign the volume buttons. Lite, without hi res version, is free. Coupled with Cinema FV-5, video is also stunning. RAW is not available.
[Amazon Fire Phone] keinam.ty:
Thanks for the comments:

Yeah, I agree with you on the point about all buttons waking up the phone - not that I like it but it isn't anything major.

Also thanks for the camera note - I'll give it a go and perhaps some others I have bought in the past.

How did you configure "Long press the soft home button brings up the CM target programs and I have long press physical button is assigned Google Search." ? I cannot find option to do that - well, there is an option to configure home button, but that's it. it doesn't allow me to do what you've described I believe...?

I probably should point out I am using Nova as home launcher.

Also ware you able to assign anything to a camera button?

thanks..!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Update

- Camera button fixed

- Torch fixed

- Made a change to WiFi config - may help with 5GHz connecting without needing channel changes (I don't have 5GHz so can't test)
[Amazon Fire Phone] jd999uk:
I've tried Camera FV-5 but it FC's every time. I really want this to work as it can take up to 60 second exposures (it did so on Fire OS), so should/could be great for Astrophotography and general night pictures.

You have to do anything to enable this to work?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Its the one in the op? Only ask because looking at date on dl page it says July 8.

I had problems with camera not launching which I'm certain I brought upon myself. So I factory reset and reflashed everything but camera still won't launch. Would you recommend a full wipe? Or return to stock then reboot recovery and flash everything?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- That was just an update of progress. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

- I normally do regular progress updates then...

- I normally throw a note out if I make another release/build.
[Amazon Fire Phone] fuelvolts:

I have managed to fix bluetooth and USB tethering and made a lot of changes WiFi stack.

So the next version will have the following:

- Fixed bluetooth tethering

- Fixed USB tethering

- Adjusted display auto backlight values

- Fixed bug in dual band WiFi detection - This may help with 5GHz WiFi

- Enabled WiFi background scanning

- Enabled WiFi batch scanning support

+ whatever else I can get sorted

I'll try and get an early test version tomorrow so we can start testing it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Nice! I'll do a fresh backup today to run the beta of the new build. Thank you for your continued support!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
New BETA build is Up

Die anyone try a newer version of Xposed?

Thomas
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Try this version : http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk

The version I quoted is the one I use on Fire Nexus ROM.

Never tried version 58, did it work prior to the BETA?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Yes, without any issues.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Could you link me to version 58 please. I probably have been using an old version all this time.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
I just installed Installer 2.6.1 at the very beginning and that's what I got.

Thomas
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I have never been able to get version 2.6.1 to work...

Would you mind trying the version I quoted?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
This didn't change anything. Maybe I will try with a clean install during this week, just to be sure there's nothing left from the current version.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Ok will take a look into it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Hi ggow, many thanks for this new version! I hope the fixes from this CM11 will find its way into the Nexux ROM as well. :)

OK, I've tested this CM11 Beta version and got the following to report:

-- Yes. I can confirm it. Hope this will be added to the Nexus ROM. :)

-Sorry , can't test

- Autobrightness looks working, but I can't say if it' better or not than before. :)

- Tested. Seems not fully working still. By default it finds in the 5GHz band only the channels under 52.

Also, the WiFi speed on 5GHz band is still the same bad - max. 16 MBit/s :(

- Can't test, sorry.

Hmm. As I described, seems still there is something with 5GHz, which is not fully OK.

One more thing - maybe a bug, ,aybe a glith: I can't change the governor an I/O scheduler settings in the standard CM11 "performance" menu in the "Settings": whatever I choose, it remains Ondemand and ROW.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bungholio69balls:

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] . Hey, so i have been going through this problem for months now. I have not tested the beta version or the 11 OCT update. The issue is with the rotation. I play games which require phone in horizontal position, But the phone after some time changes from horizontal to vertical even in games and does not change back until a reboot the phone. For example i play clash of clans and after sometime it do load but its vertical until i restart it and that view only shows the half of the game. Another problem i face these days is related to my back camera. Front works fine cuz i am beautiful (Ima Barbie Girl in the Barbie World, oh nvm). So i installed the ''Official Cm11'' camera in my phone and with it when i try to take pictures they are dark as hell and when i try to take pictures with ''Snap Camera'' They are overly exposed with the FLASH! or without the pictures they are dull.

Hey [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] I found this vulnerability posted on android police today (Oct. 12) it's called pork by jcase, it affects foxconn manufactured devices. I'm not sure if the fire phone is manufactured by foxconn but Wikipedia leads me to believe so. Anyways here's the link "Pork" Android Police

Doesn't hurt to try, might be our chance to finally trick this pesky bootloader. It seems easy to test if it's vulnerable or not but I don't know anything about programing or stuff this deep. I hope you can make good use of this and if not I'm still content with progress so far. As always thanks and good luck. :D
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Unfortunately this vulnerability does not apply to the Fire Phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
That is very unfortunate indeed. :rolleyes: Well I do appreciate your effort and thank you for your time. You've certainly have made many owners of this fire phone very happy including myself. ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Glad to hear, I use the Fire Phone as my daily driver and don't intend on buying a newer phone when this is still so clearly up to the job :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
It's great to hear the leading dev uses the device himself! :good::good::good:

BTW, what ROM version do you use the most: CM11 or Nexus?

(I personally prefer Nexus, despite it lacks some of CM11 tricks)
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I switch between them equally, Fire Nexus I find wins hands down for performance. On CM-11 at the moment.
[Amazon Fire Phone] rjjr12:
Wasn't the fire phone made by foxconn??

Wikipedia shows that it was.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Jakky567:
A device can be made by foxconn, but not affected by the vulnerability, but the vulnerability only affects foxconn devices.
[Amazon Fire Phone] virags:
thanks ggow .. I tried CM11 , Slimkat and the Nexus rom for fire phone and all of them work excellent. The only issue I found in all the 3 ROMs was that Skype video calls and Facebook video calls dont work , I can see and hear the other person and they can hear me , but cannot see me when using the fire phone. Hangout video/audio calls work just fine so I am using that for now. .

The build is a little bit older. I think 11-20160619.
