Any ideas to use WebWhats App?

Question to all.

After installing any of our available custom ROMs - e.g. CM 11, or AOSP - there is about than 1.5 Gb unused memory available in the /System partionion.

Has anybody tried to repartition our devide for the custom ROMs? Is it possible? Is there any sort of HowTo manual available?

Having only 32Gb internal memory makes me to consider even this way to squeeze more memory out of the device interesting. :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] dato02:
i think that needs unlocked bootloader and custom kernel with custom partition table (or am i wrong, who knows ????).
[Amazon Fire Phone] Minkwon:

Just a suggestion

I have a suggestion on the missing symbols. Through work I often have to debug and link with 3rd party libraries in the binary form. If the function is leaf function and does not perform any action that affects anything, you often can just stub it out - write a dummy function that just returns things. Then you can examine parameters and see if you can return sensible data, if caller expects some return. Like for log function you may return 0 or some number or even nothing. Most of the time you can get code to compile and run.

---------- Post added at 04:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

quick search online yielded this link:

https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_system_core/commit/b0cb2ce83615277e84f6bf729b869dc3252fd134

This has implementation of the function in question.
[Amazon Fire Phone] david320te:
The question is, if this will work with Android/will not crash the device, if you just return "something" for the function. Unfortunately i can't help very much, i do use Linux on a daily basis, but i don't really debug things that much...

Hello all,

I recently did a factory reset on my fire phone (was 4.6.6) in order to "clean up" in preparation for CM or slimcat.

I ended up installing slimcat (its only been a couple of days) and I seem to prefer CM11 therefore I want to install CM11. Is there any issue with me treating this like an update and just follow the procedures on page 1 about how to update? Basically I want to remove slimcat and install CM.

If not what would be the best method of accomplishing this where my phone will be somewhat pristine.

Cheers!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
just flash cm11 the same way you install slimcat.....don't forget to do backup first in case ....

Installed CM11 on Fire phone....Everything was fine for a day or so and then I would get random reboots, then it got to the point it would just boot loop. after turning it off and waiting 10-15mins, I can turn it back on and it will be stable for a few hours, and then it will start rebooting every 2-5mins, any idea whats going on with this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Androidhari:
Thanks, I did same but didn't work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- My laptop has again gone back for repair due to the cooling system hence the downtime.

- I'll try and get a temporary machine setup again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
try install cm11 again or flash Nexus ROM even better ...always clear cache and devick when you flash the ROM
[Amazon Fire Phone] BlueFireIce:
Nexus ROM? Already installed 4 times, same thing, all cache was cleared etc etc.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
You haven't really given us enough information to help you troubleshoot, but these are the items that immediately come to mind:

1) Which network are you on? If T-Mobile, the reboots could be caused by proximity to a LTE Hotspot. Try changing the network to 2G or 3G. Less than ideal, but it works for me since I don't have a data plan. Before the change, my next door neighbor's hotspot would cause me random reboots.

2) Have you made any modifications (i.e. xposed) or are you running unmodified as packaged by ggow? If you're an xposed user, I would uninstall all of your mods and then add them back in one by one to determine if one is causing the problems

3) Are you restoring a backup? I seem to recall someone had an issue trying to restore the data from their FireOS backup.
[Amazon Fire Phone] BlueFireIce:
T-mobile, no hot spots around, tried turning off the network altogether, still crashes. Reboots are not random really, the timing is quite close, from a cold boot of being off or a fresh flash, 5-6 hours and it will reboot, then it will reboot every 20-30mins, after a few reboots it will be every 5mins, then just boot loop until I turn off the phone and wait or reflash. Same events and timing every flash.

No mods, on the 3rd flash I made sure to not even install a single app, just let it reboot after flash, did the setup and left it, everything as above happened the same as the other times.

No back ups, it is a fresh phone that was used for GPS/OBDII in my car, got tired of the limited map apps and OBDII apps, along with the GUI and decided to do something about it.

I have now flashed SlimKat, going on 18 hours and no hangs or reboots. :confused:

Hi.

My phone's clock doesn't correct sometime.

Actually the automatic network time&date function doesn't work.

So, I use the clocksync app but it needs root permission..

I need help ??.

Does anyone have this problem ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
No, I don't have this problem. Did you wipe Dalvik and Cache when updating to the latest build?
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Thanks for the update. Flash went smoothly as always!
[Amazon Fire Phone] superswain:
Thank you for reply.

I flashed latest rom and wiped dalvik and cache.

And I tried factory reset also .

But it still shows wrong time(not so big but irritate..)

Thank you let me know that it's only my phone's problem.?

I'm on Cricket (AT&T subsidiary) and this occasionally happens on some cell towers. It's not too big of a deal and usually corrects itself when I move to another tower.

Thanks to make my mind clear.

[Amazon Fire Phone] phoenX80:
I wiped and installed CM11 only. I downloaded twice and also tried with and without Gapps and SuperSU. I always get the message that the keyboard has crashed, also couldnt answer a call cause it wouldnt unlock and another crash. Does anyone know how to deal with the keyboard crash?
[Amazon Fire Phone] O.a.T.:
I too was having keyboard crashes. My flashing procedure includes downloading the latest open gapps arm 4.4 nano and flashing that along with the new rom. By any chance did you also update your gapps?

Anyway, what I did to fix was go back to the previous version of the gapps I had used dated 2016-04-16. Or if you want to use a third party keyboard like Swype, you could just install that and make it default. Either way should clear up your problem with the keyboard crashing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] phoenX80:
Hm error occurred without any gapps also - so I dont think its the cause but Ill try that.

Double contacts in dialer.

I set on contact list only to show up local contacts that are stored in phone itself, if i open whatsapp, whatsapp creats a new contactlist, in whatsapp itself i see only contacts that are in whatsapp contactlist.

if i now go to dialer all conatcts are listed, local + whatsapp so i have now double entrys. in contactlist itself it shows only local.

I was hoping we'd have gotten farther along than we have with this Kodiak project - great job to everyone involved!!! But now things are getting long in the tooth, two Android generations behind - when do our phones become substandard? I've foujnd the Amazon Fire phone to be hands-down one of the best hotspot phones ever. We have T-Mobile, which is spotty out here, but at least along the Interstate for many miles my children are happily uploading periscope videos from a moving car - at 70 miles per hour! Smart phones are the new technology wave, as Space was for computers in general!

Well, it'll work until it doesn't. eBay is full of these phones now, $60 bucks for a nice one.

I was having the same issue up until Friday and it has since stopped, but that coincided with a recent update to the Google App so not sure if the two were related.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mhill1986:
Same issue for me over on AOSP rom. I think the Google update or Play services update is to blame, but I'm not sure

will the next update include cm's new browser "gello"? apkmirror says it needs min api 22/lollipop..
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Even if they would support KK based ROMs, not really a priority either way...

There are other Chromium / Chrome based browsers for 4.4.x systems.

I ditched Chrome the minute it cried about needing Play services and I switched to TugaBrowser.

Even Adaway users will profit from this combo with Web Refiner / Web Defender and custom Snapdragon optimizations.

Seem to be having problems with getting sound after connecting to my Bluetooth hands free device and its random. Sometimes after disconnecting from the hands free the tones on my dial pad don't sound, no sound on games or speaker. Only sound works for head set or Bluetooth during call only. I check my sound and everything is maxed. A reboot fixes the problem. I disabled/restored to defaults any mod apps like amplify but problem persisted. I'm on build 11-20160407. Not sure when this problem started exactly since it doesn't happen all the time.

Any advice for troubleshooting?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Areed King:
signal strength is exactly at the same level

I have flashed the phone between cm11 and original fire os rom back and forth, just for the concern of the reported weaker signal strength. Since after my first flashing the cm11, the signal strength did looks much weaker, as shown in the status bar. For a record, I wrote down the precise value of the signal strength and then flash back to fire os. Guess what, the values were almost the same. And I noticed that, in fire os, the signal strength icon has five bars, yes, an extra bar compared to cm11! That explains why the previous misjudgement. However, I forgot to take screenshots. But I'm still happy to write this down here, just for expressing my huge appreciation to the author ggow for his many work. Thanks, ggow!

To view the value of the signal strength, using the keppad command *#*#info#*#*

Need advice, my fire phone just was working fine however around a month ago i notice that it has a weird behivor with the battery, in almost the year i have been using it battery was good lasting but, sometimes i was getting a crazy battery drain without use or wheb i get home battery was drained.

It was my backup phone since i get my HTC ONE E8 but after that i notice that the screen was always bright, auto mode i felt it was not working. I reset the phone and it was the same thing, and after that i tried to flash to the FIre OS but i will finish installing it and it didn't boot, and i felt the cpu area was getting very hot and suddenly the battery was again drained, i could boot to the safestrap and it was being recognized by Windows as MTP but after a couple of days it wasn't recognized. Now it just charges i see the battery sign but it seems that doesn't charge at all.

Is my phone dying?
[Amazon Fire Phone] xwin01:
Re:tonochito

I would say, yes, your battery is dying. I had very similar problem with my Samsung device, but that device had removable battery so I simply replaced it. The symptoms were - after device is charged it seemed to be OK. When I read books it would look normal. But when I used game or voip application, device would suddenly reboot or shutdown. After rebooting the battery would show 1/2 full.

It appears that Li batteries develop crystals and these short the battery - so the seemingly charged battery can suddenly die.
[Amazon Fire Phone] tonochito:
But you know... is very weird it wasn't been detected by the pc and i was thinking to put it in the trash can but i decided to give it a final chance of life, i decided as i could boot into recovery to do a sideload even it wasn't been detected and suddenly it appears to receive the rom, but i noticed that the old kingo root method here posted to install the superuser is not working, neither the old apk i had.

I had to install the new one but it doesn't allow me to install superuser

Anyone else having problems accessing "Ok Google" settings?

I press the option but no response.

Issue is present on both CM11 & the Nexus ROM.

It's eating up my battery.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I use Nova Launcher and am able to access the Ok Google settings that way, but just like you if I try to do it via the Google app it goes no where...

But I was also having battery issues...here is my post from the Slimkat thread:

UPDATE: Over 24 hours later and no battery issues yet. I have 36% of my battery left after just over 10 hours of usage today. That includes some mild Youtube, Hulu, Twitch, gaming, and a 40 minute or so phone call via Hangouts dialer.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Surmisation:
Brilliant workaround! The option within Nova is accessed through "Gestures and Input".

I'm unaware exactly what the issue is. I tried a CM build on the March Security patches. Then I used an old gapps compile from mid April.. The issue persisted. That was even without Nova installed.

I'm unaware exactly how to pinpoint the source of what's causing that menu to be unresponsive, but as you mention: it is accessible through Nova settings > Gestures and Input
[Amazon Fire Phone] Ph9214:

[Amazon Fire Phone] stark333:
call screen wont wake up

Any help !
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I assume you mean when someone calls you the screen turns off and won't turn on? Do you have a glass screen protector applied? Those can activate the proximity sensor thus making the screen turn off when you get a call.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
It seems the issue presents with any app that uses the GPS in high precision mode. Disabling Google Device Manager made a huge difference but I notice if I use Ingress and forget to kill it (rather than just putting it idle) my battery drain starts up again. So, we know the cause at least.
[Amazon Fire Phone] stark333:

Has anyone been able to get USB Host mode working on the fire phone under CM11?

I tried slimcat and came back to to this rom. It's fast and reliable with good battery life. I'd suggest a clean install, perhaps something didn't install right or you selected a rom that had some hiccups. Out of the many updates here only 1 or 2 seemed to be problematic for me. At the same time others complained of issues, such as battery drain, when I didn't see it. I'd go for a clean install of the most recent update and see how it goes. Can always go back to where you were with a backup if it's not fresh!
