[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] I went ahead and just reinstalled the OS from fresh and the problem went away. If I bump into it again I'll let you know but I will slowly install my apps back and test the dialer every time to see if the problem comes back . I am curious though. When I call my own number, or voice mail, instead of it showing the usual call screen it auto pops up the number keypad in order to type in a number. If I press back I get the usual call screen with the picture of the person and the call buttons. Is this because the phone is recognizing the number being called as a voice mail so it automatically assumes I will need to use the number keys and thus it pulls up the number keys automatically?

Ok I figured it out! The problem is coming from changing the "Animator duration scale" to 0 in Developer Options. I've always set Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale to 0 on my previous phones because it would seem to load windows faster because there was no animation and I never had any problems. But by changing "Animator duration scale" to 0 on this custom rom causes problems as I stated previously. Phew. Glad that problem is solved. Might be best to make a note not to change that setting in case someone silly like myself does it. Problem solved! :highfive:
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
Maybe I should've clarified. I've has no issues with functionality goes, I can't comment regarding the quality in different settings on this device.

If you're up to try something else, OpenCamera is the only other one I've really used
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
The overall consensus is snap camera works best, and a real good amount of trial and error went into that from other users. To avoid overexposure (maybe the biggest complaint about the camera in general) check "show advanced settings" then go to the photo tab and check "denoise" and "zero shutter lag"

Edit--realized I might've just given basically the same answer as randybo. Is that what you were looking for? Open camera was the one a lot of us were using for awhile but found the best quality overall was snap hdr
[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
I've been using Open Camera with my fire phone and haven't seen any problems. None the less I went ahead and tried Snap Camera HDR to compare and besides a little bit of color difference, Snap Camera HDR seems to take a little bit more tinted colored pictures then Open Camera, the quality of the picture comes out to be the same from what I see with the naked eye and that's including applying the two settings stated above. And since Open Camera is free and Snap Camera HDR is not, I am going to stick with Open Camera. But good information.
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
I also started off using Open Camera with my Fire Phone, made a donation to the developer, and thought it was working pretty well for me, until I tried to use the flash...

Unfortunately, it suffers from the same flash issues as Google Camera. Since it's open source, someone could create a 'Zero Shutter Lag' settings patch for it, and fix the flash for the Fire Phone. I found it easier to just purchase Snap Camera HDR whose GUI interface I liked better anyway.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
One thing I noticed. If I attempt to use the voice option when sending an SMS it doesn't take the first time. I then have to press the button to speak again for it to detect the voice. This might just be me but if you have time to try to reproduce that would be cool! I'm using the newest build, google now, and swiftkey.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
Finally took the plunge today, I was waiting for the 5ghz functionality to come along. No issues at all with Wi-Fi or mobile signal dropouts here. All works well with the caveats that we're all aware of.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adeebulrehman:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] Can you please check by replacing and editing lib/hw camera.msm8974.so from oneplus one, both have same camera. But some less features.
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed any quality improvements with the 'Denoise' option checked in Snap Camera? I couldn't see any in my testing, so I have left that option unchecked.

Also, I think we should also mention in the FAQ that the hardware button has to be used with Snap Camera for the shutter to fire correctly. I spent a good bit of time figuring out that the onscreen shutter button only worked for the first shot, and only if you used the hardware button did the camera fire consistently.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I wish it were that easy

- I'll tell you now that it just won't work

- They may share the same sensor but the HAL is intimately tied to the ov680 image processor and other hardware specifics
[Amazon Fire Phone] Angablade:
Could try using the stock driver renamed to what cm uses, and that might do something. That has the best outlook verses using another phones software. Kanging stuff isn't a very safe way of doing things. But hey, you never know what will happen.

[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
Hey [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]. Is there anything we need to know about the update CM code?

Also by updating do we lose any personal data or would we have to reinstall apps? Or is it just like applying a Windows update?

Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Nothing really of note in the updates

- Nothing will be lost, just dirty flash the update and reboot

Kudos for this great ROM

I've been a long time lurker here, basically using the ROM since several months on my and my wives phone. I'm extremley satisfied with the functionality. So this has to be said:

1st of all kudos to ggow. I appreciate the work and I hope you will update the CM codebase long enough or hand over the project if ur not interested anymore. Great Job!

2nd thanks to JDubbed who told us the animation options. On every CM11 ROM (LG G2 Mini, 4xHD) I could not open the dialer pad on first click. This is now fixed by setting values > 0.

3rd while I tested the developer options JDubbed told us, I stumbled upon the runtime switch Dalvik vs. ART and I thought: hey man u've got nothing to loose (i got a backup :D ) and it works extremely well for me. I don't know how it works with Google software and I don't have long experience using it but all my software works and battery life is very good.

Regards
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
I enabled ART on this device and it worked well. The only issue was that upon reboot, the system had to "optimize" about 30 apps but didn't specify which. I assume this is GApps. I wasn't sure how to avoid this and since its not my device, I wasn't going to force the user to sit through a 2-minute startup process until I figured it out.
[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
I never even knew about ART. I looked it up and its stated performance benchmarks intrigued me. So I did a ROM backup just in case, switched over to ART, rebooted and first thing I noticed was that it took less time to boot to my home screen which is always a plus even though it was fast before it felt faster. I did not have a window pop up stating it was optimizing apps and I have not had any problems with any apps thus far. I'll report on it if anything changes. Good find [MENTION=926894]charly394[/MENTION].

Made my Amazon Fire Phone OS less

Hi all,

tried to install the CM-11 on my fire phone.

installed the following ZIPs from SafeStrap v4.

CM-11.zip

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

open_gapps-arm-4.4-stock-20160205.zip

CleanSystemPartition.zip

Initially It said successful for each ZIP.

But finally when I tried to reboot, it said NO OS installed.

Still I went ahead with reboot out of curiosity.

Currently my phone has no OS.

What can I do???

Thanks in Advance!!!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] underdog_656:
Yoy need to flash cleansystempartion. ZIP first as it deletes cm11 I think.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
unfortunately it did not work right (stable) on my phone... got pup up a lot said google not working... etc. the phone got warmer and battery drain so fast.... i have to reboot and switch back.... do backup first if you want to try.

Is xposed able to work with art? Actually I know it does now, but not sure about kk roms, art and xposed framework.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dato02:
not with kk as far as i know.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Xposed will not work with ART on KitKat as it's only Dalvik Runtime aware

- Also Xposed targets a specific framework version so the lollipop version of Xposed which supports ART will also not work on KitKat
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Download the Amazon stock firmware .bin

- Enter Amazon Stock Recovery on your phone

- Then sideload the downloaded .bin file

- Your phone will live again

- On your next try to install CM11 do not flash the CleanSystemPartition.zip

- CleanSystemPartition.zip is for special cases and not for normal use

[Amazon Fire Phone] cjac2879:
First off I want to thank all the devs here.. I have been a lurker for a long time, always find my answers and fix my problem.. Kudos

Recently i dove into my first root/rom I managed to root my hdx 7 (3rd gen) and get it running CM11.. Love it, works great! my HDX was running 4.5.5.2, so I did the rollback procedure I found on these forums using the captured 3.2.8 and then manually upgraded to 4.5.2. I then managed to flash cm11 and it works great.. I want to go to cm12 or cm13, but am not sure if I can given the rollback/upgrade procedure I went through.. Is it possible? I rushed a flash of cm12 but it didnt work and im not sure if its just not possible or if i did it wrong since it was late and I had read alot at that point.. Any help obviously is hugely appreciated!

[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
So I thought I was using ART but it shows Dalvik under Dev Options. I remember enabling ART, rebooting and I had to update/install Xposed again and then reboot but not knowing Xposed didn't work on ART. So is it a possibility that Xposed switched back over to Dalvik? Or maybe when I first attempted to switch over to ART it failed? Either way it sounds like I'll stick with Dalvik.
[Amazon Fire Phone] charly394:
That could be possible. At least on first startup after switching it should optimize the apps. If that didn't happen, maybe it falled back to Dalvik.

Everybody keep in mind to not report crashes and bugs if ART ist enabled! ART isn't marked stable for 4.4 though it works for me perfect.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adeebulrehman:
If I factory reset phone from setting, it will erase all data even cm11? Is it possible to make cm11 default OS so it can't be removed even after factory reset?

I love this OS and camera solution is OK for me, i.e. want to make it like stock.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Duchman:
A factory reset won't erase your system partition where the ROM is installed. It will, however, erase all your data, yes. If you have CM 11, it's already your default ROM.

Seriously nice work! This project was the reason I picked up a Fire Phone the other day when they went down to $159, and after following the instructions it works fantastically as a daily driver.

Quick question since I am moving sometimes between Europe and US just wondering if the baseband frequency have been affected by this Rom on t mobile USA everything looks OK maybe the bars do not go as high as before but maybe the accuracy was more than generous on the fire side hopefully in Europe the phone will still get the LTE frequency

I'm just waiting on the camera. open cameras photos are too dark, and HDR mode freezes it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I'm hoping after all the questions I asked I didn't miss something critical. So I flashed CM11. Just before that I realized I had a supersu apk and not a zip but the op didn't stress it needed root so for testing purposes I went ahead and flashed the rom, gapps, it booted fine but I see no way to reboot to recovery.

Normally theres a 4 way reboot. Or I can just use a terminal, on the device or over adb to reboot recovery. It was kind of dumb of me to think the app would stick through a factory reset then a new rom but I didn't read anything about it. So is it safe to just reboot recovery? I never used safestrap before. Think it's just a way to safely get to twrp but don't wanna assume anymore...any help is appreciated. Rom seems real smooth and fast so far!
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
you can just install the safestrap APK :]. I think all CM roms are pre-rooted.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Uh OH...managed to install safestrap over adb but as suspected it needs root. "adb reboot recovery" is not working in terminal emulator. Any ideas? It's hard to believe I'm in too deep. I followed the guides. Only part I think it missed was the supersu zip before flashing cm11 but that was listed as optional.

Might be ok. When i tried to install supersu binaries it failed and needed to reboot then the option to boot recovery appeared. Think ill restore stock and try again. I should've known that.

Update--All Set.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
awesome! :}
[Amazon Fire Phone] arth_ur:
Simply power of the phone and then power it on, safestrap will ask if you want to enter recovery after the Amazon splash screen, with a 10 second timeout.

You can install supersu with the installer found on the play store.

[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Weird. I dirty flashed, cleared all cache, and don't see this problem with Google Now. This rom has been rock solid for me, with the exception of that one release causing many app crashes. I don't believe that to be an issue with this app itself, probably something with the original CM code that was released on that update.
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
I have used Google Now Launcher on numerous releases of your CM-11 Fire Phone ROM and had zero issues with it.

The out-of-order 'Play Music' icon and two blank icons might be caused by corruption in the OS installed app database that only GEL is sensitive to. If clearing 'Google' and 'Google Now Launcher' App data doesn't fix it, I would suspect this cause.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adeebulrehman:
GEL is also working fine. I'm using stock gapps

anyone have any issues with their Bluetooth and their car? we have 2 of these phones and 2 different cars with the same issue. If the phone hasn't been rebooted in a while it won't autoconnect to the car, have to go under bluetooth, select the car and then it connect. Otherwise rebooting the phone will also fix it, but then the next day the problem will reoccur. I don't know how long the phone needs to sit before it shuts off the Bluetooth searching (or however it works) where you need to wake it up

FYI, this issue has always existed regardless of the version of Cm11 that was on these phones
