how it should be possible without boot.img? can u help me I'll strive for that... before that I was ported MIUI in MTK devices and it's work flawlessly, but here the issue is bootloader which is lock so I can't able to flash other boot.img
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
Had some issues with screen protector on one of the devices. Caused blacks creen on phone call (was messing with proximity sensor).

Removed screen protector and all is good
[Amazon Fire Phone] dato02:
is there a screen protector on it?
[Amazon Fire Phone] fniestroj:
the problem is the proximity sensor at this phone. if you use a screen protector (some of them although work anyway).

just install xposed framework and the module "Disable Proximity Sensor" and everything is fine :D

[Amazon Fire Phone] dato02:
that's exactly what I'm thinking ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
Yeah, I immediately edited the post, but it looks like someone started on a response already :)

Yes, it was the proximity sensor due to screen protector. The screen protector appeared to be perfectly aligned though. Maybe just a crappy screen protector. Ordered new ones.

i installed Cyanogen Camera and guess what freakin' flash is working and shutter speed is also as fast as amazon camera but the only problem is viewfinder and pics are upside down. Hope someone find a fix for this because it is miles better than snap camera.

I just tried later versions of 2.0.004 and 2.0.005 than the one you linked to and got a Parse error: "There was a problem parsing the package." Replies to other users getting the same error respond that this camera app is only compatible with CM 12.1 / Android OS 5.1.

The upside-down photo problem was a common camera app bug when the Nexus 5X was introduced. I think it requires an app update to fix it and later versions of this camera app don't support CM-11.

[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
This question is probably really off-topic, but is there a way to extract keyguard.apk from Android 5.0 and put it on CM?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Regarding Android 5.x: Isn't keyguard part of the SystemUI / just a lib?

Can't remember trying this one out before but then again I stopped looking for alternatives back in September '15. ^^

Very good find, the "ootb" performance is very nice and on top of it all it's free.

The up/down, left/right switcheroo is a fun brain exercise but a fix would make it more practical indeed.

edit: build.prop edits like "ro.camera.orientation.back" don't always work... ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I recently heard CM was capable of auto start/stop data when mms was sent or received. But Im not sure if this ended with jellybean. Anyone know about this? I looked into it but couldnt find anything definitive.

My guess is it doesnt work on CM 11 based on all the people using things like smart radio. This would be a VERY valuable feature to save battery I think. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
I did see this somewhere recently. It enabled network data, even if off or connected to WiFi for a momentbwhen MMS was sent or received

I believe I saw it in a a couple CM13 ROMs I tried on my Nexus 5X.

However, if you need this feature, it is available in HandCent SMS and Textra.

They appear to have slightly different implementations but same end goal.

Both are good text apps.

Also, you cannot perform a reset from settings, and select wipe media, etc.

It will just stay at rebooting and then shutdown, nothing will get erased.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- That's a good thing believe me, it's like that for good reason

- If you want to wipe media or other partition use Safestrap Recovery instead
[Amazon Fire Phone] escape75:
Yeah, but all it normally does is call safestrap with an erase script.

After performing the reset if you go into safestrap it actually runs reset,

However it doesn't erase media I believe, but it runs some reset procedure.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Something must have changed in the CM commits to cause this

- Does wiping the internal storage from Safestrap work correctly for you?
[Amazon Fire Phone] adeebulrehman:
OTA?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
This is an unofficial build, it has to be downloaded manually from the link in the OP.

You can download it to your phone over WiFi for that "semi OTA" feel. :laugh:

No operating system on my fire phone

Hello, I accidentally erased system on my fire phone. I was using it with CM 12. It boots up with Amazon logo, that’s it. I can’t get into safe strap either. (Also, I no longer have stock rom back up or any back up) Please tell me in details how to resolve this.

Thank you very much everyone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] llenp:
Unfortunately, the only thing I can think of is to start all over. Even though your /data partition is still technically there, there's no way to flash CM11 without first being able to flash recovery.

You'd have to follow this guide to get your phone back to stock. I believe this will wipe your /data partition.
[Amazon Fire Phone] escape75:
UPDATE: Format data doesn't work from safestrap.

Only factory reset seems to work from safestrap.

Actually I'm not sure anymore, after 2nd reboot it worked, so it's almost like it doesn't update

the files in safestrap after format data, but then after 2nd reboot the files are gone, so it works ...

So the only that that doesn't work is calling safestrap after automatically after resetting right from CM,

and of course once safestrap is called, it won't delete /media but that's I'm guessing is by design ...

Issue with CM

Wondering if anyone can help me.

I went through the steps to root and convert a fire phone to CM. I loaded it with safestrap 4.0.1 and then with the CM 11 rom on this thread. I went through the process of installing CM and full grapps for 4.4 with safe strap and rebooted the device. It successfully launched CM, and I was able to select the language to do the setup in. Unfortunately when I reached the step to add a sim card or skip there is an error stating "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." After that it resets setup and wants me to start over. I tried it with my T-mobile sim as well as hitting skip. Neither worked.

Any help is appreciated, but the Fire is not my daily phone anymore so it's not a huge issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] escape75:
Yep, happens everytime ....

Pulldown from top, select date to start calendar, select a wifi,

After it connects hit back a few times and continue setup,

This time it will show wireless points again click connect.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
so it's normal when 'unfortunately the___had stopped' just pop up. It's not happen on my other phone.

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- If you got rid the phone, then what purpose does your post have other than to annoy us?

- The ROM has issues with the camera and audio (mute during call) which can not be fixed at the moment because of amazon's custom HAL interface

- It's a wonder the camera is working at all

- If you can do better and fix these issues then be my guest.

Hey guys,

i know its late :) but i have a major problem with the phone of my wife and try to fix it for around 5h :(

I Hade one of the first CM11 rom already flashed since 2015.

Now i try to flash the ne rom 160216 and it works, but i get the problem with the setup-assistant. It failed severall times. I tryed to flash it several times w/o Gapps. I wipe it al lot.

And finly i earase the interal storage :( I know very stupid.

So now i have no firmware on the phone. I can boot in safetrap 4.01 (TWRP v.2.7.1.0) but ther is no file to install.

As you know i have also no chance to transfer the rom on a sd card. AFP has no SD Kard.

I Try to install the Driver for the Phon (win7&Win10) w/o chance.

My hope was to transfer it with ADB but this is only possible if debugging is enabled right?

How can i drop the CM 11 rom on the phone???

Please

Help

[Amazon Fire Phone] Surmisation:
I'm having problems with Setup as well. It just errors when initially selecting the language. Except I'm unable to access SafeStrap Recovery as the phone is skipping that screen and begins by initiating the process associated with the Amazon logo. I've reverted the StockOS and gone through the process about 3 times now. Sighs.

The only thing I can think is that by leaving the cable plugged in when rebooting while still in SafeStrap, it is messing with something.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- you should be able to use adb to push the ROM file to the /sdcard

- I use Linux and that method seems to work just fine. So on windows once you resolve any driver issues you should be OK on that

- if you want to do a clean install then first you must factory reset from safestrap then flash clean system partition zip available in the downloads section on the OP.

- Do not reboot at this point

- Flash ROM, opengapps 2015-12-19 and SuperSU 2.46 if you want root access and reboot

- let me know if the problems with setup assistant persist.

Everthing to get accsess via ADB to my phone. Nothing works.

No ADB device found :(

[Amazon Fire Phone] tryit:
YEEEAAHHHHAAA

I got it!

Thanks a lot for the support!"

Maybe sombody have the same issuse. Here a quick overview what i have done.

IFirst of all i got the issue, after i flashed cm 160216, wit the failed setup-assistant. Then i erased my internal storage, and i havent any file any more on my fire phone.

Then i tried to transfer the new cm11 to my phone without sucsess. The problem was that i had no conection via ADBto my phone. I had not the right driver. But i tried all driver i found.

Then i try follow steps:

- use the original cable

- use a 2.0 USB port (not 3.0)

- use win 10

- install google universal ADB driver

- click on fire phone and refresh drivers

- search internal for drivers

- click on search in the llist.

- then click on android devices

- use android composite ADB interface

- They i saw the ID nr. and i realiced i got the connection :)

- Then transfer the cleansystempartian.zip, the CM11 Rom to sdcard

- wipe fatory data

- flash cleansystempartion.zip

- wipe factory data

-Flash CM11 rom

- reboot --> 4.4.4 is starting. Runs great

- boot in recovery

- Flash gapps.

Done.

Have a nice Weekend :)

Sorryfor the bad English, iam not native speaker ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] dato02:
grats ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Surmisation:
These steps worked for me as well. Thanks!

There is an issue with the Setup Wizard in this build, perhaps even beginning in earlier builds. By installing CM and initiating the first boot, and then rebooting to flash Gapps, it bypasses the Setup process. But all the goodies like High Accuracy Location, WiFi, and Cellular Data have to be manually enabled.

There is also an issue in this build with the

Stock

Open GApps installer where some packages are improperly signed (Clock, Google Keyboard) and cannot update through the Play Store.

FIX: Install the

Nano

Open Gapps and manually install desired packages

Also, I believe my issue with Safestrap getting overwritten resulted from sideloading the ROM rather than installing from SD card. Surely this was covered somewhere else in this thread's 248 pages and counting. Maybe even in the FAQ :/
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
I would recommend installing Pico Gapps to minimize potential for any issues. Not to mention, all that stuff is available from the Play store (if you even want more Google stuff on your phone).

Encryption through Android

Hey ggow, just wanted to report back on having the phone encrypted for a little while. It works fine buts seems to be permenantly encrypted. TWRP nor Amazon's default recovery wont let me do anything. Hopefully i will figure out a way to unencrypt it...

These ADB issues reminds me of a problem I had getting my CM-11 Fire phone recognized as a MHL device. After following all the steps in the solution to:

Question 2:

My phone doesn't show up when connecting via USB, what's going on?

and trying a bunch of MHL drivers my phone would not mount on the Windows desktop. Then I finally rebooted the phone and it worked fine. Rebooting your phone is a critical last step left out of the solution after changing the settings for MHL operation.
[Amazon Fire Phone] amfractal:
I have the same issue on a clean install. Stock gapss causes the setup wizard to crash.

If I reboot and then flash gapss, it works but skips setup altogether and you have to setup manually.

And some apps like clock still crash!

This has been covered at length in other threads. But navigating forums is understandably difficult.

Here's a Google Drive link for official Amazon ADB drivers

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzF4f1kJz-suaHhRYVdxaUEwZFU/view?usp=sharing

The reason this occurs is Windows registers the device incorrectly as storage.

To fix it, go into the Windows Device Manager.

Uninstall the driver for Fire (usually located under 'Portable Devices')

Once uninstalled, update the driver for the device which will now have a yellow exclamation point.

Select 'Browse for Drivers on my PC'

Then select "Let me Choose..."

Then Select 'All devices' at the very top of that list.

Then once the next list loads, select Amazon.com.

Install the one driver associated with it and you're good to go adb.
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
Thanks for the response, but I believe the Windows MHL and ADB drivers are different drivers and require separate installs. The point I was trying to make in my post was the even though the MHL drivers were properly installed on my Windows 7 PC, it would not actually recognize my CM-11 Fire phone until I had rebooted my phone and then reconnected to the USB. I actually spent about an hour trying different MHL drivers and rebooting my PC before I rebooted the phone and everything worked. My Fire OS phone had no issues with MHL during this whole process, so I was pretty confident it had to be a CM-11 specific problem at the time (which turned out to be false). That is why I am suggesting add 'reboot phone' as a final step to the FAQ question.

Anyone else having problems with Bluetooth? I switched it on 2 days ago to listen to music in the car. The phone froze a couple of times when switching songs and whatnot. When I went to switch off Bluetooth, I couldn't through either quick settings or in the actual settings. A restart fixed it so I didn't think much of it but it happened again yesterday. Yesterday I didn't notice it didn't turn off and Bluetooth drained 39% of my battery which only lasted 5 hours. Battery is fine without Bluetooth but if I turn on Bluetooth it gets stuck on and kills my battery. I'm back on the 1/26 build now with no problems.

There is a tool used in "Wugs Root Toolkit" for Nexus devices that helps with driver issues. Even after removed, Windows may still remember the previously attached hardware. I'll see if I can find the name of the tool...

You can use the tool below to make sure all previous remnants of the USB device and attached drivers are removed.

This is a common recommendation, but as a pretty heavy Google apps user, I found using the 'mini' set from Open GApps much more convenient for my CM-11 installs. I used the zip ' open_gapps-arm-4.4-mini-20151021.zip' while converting three phones from Fire OS to CM-11 without issues. That was a blessed day.

Ok none of these instructions worked for me. First I managed to install Cyanogenmod and opengapps, but then after booting CM get's stuck in the setup wizard which keeps closing all the time.

A google search suggested it had something to do with opengapps and I should try to use another version. Now I can't seem to get a new version on the phone because it doesn't show up in windows explorer.

I tried returning it to it's default fire os following the instructions provided but adb sideload always tells me it can't read the update.bin or .zip and adb push simply returns error:closed.

Any ideas?
