How do you tell if you used slot 1 or stock slot?
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Maybe for the next build you can delete the stock Clock app too. Google Clock is on the Play Store already and it's the same thing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Moving on cm-11 / safestrap does not void the warranty at all. You can just side load stock 4.6.1 and factory reset to return the device to factory defaults.

Screenshots are on the OP in the screenshots section.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I'm reluctant to remove the stock clock app, there have been lots of bug reports across various devices of alarms not going off etc on the google clock app.
[Amazon Fire Phone] russy23:
Awesome as much as i love amazon, this phone is well bloated with crap( even after trying to debloat it), screenshots look good..keep up the awesome work
[Amazon Fire Phone] fulanorex:
here are some screenshots of safestrap with stock slot selected. You will notice that it says Rom Slot: Stock.

[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
I see, then it's great you kept it :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] kblikefly:
How can you side load stock 4.6.1? Using the flashable safetrap ROM in the forum?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
You need to use the sideload function in Amazon's stock recovery with Amazon's 4.6.1 .bin firmware file.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kblikefly:
Can't find the instruction on the forum. Do you have the link to the instruction.

Thanks a lot.
[Amazon Fire Phone] lukas1010:
Without backup, will I still be able to just adb-sideload the stock 4.6.1-ROM from recovery after installing CM11 with Safestrap? Then it would be a no brainer for me!

I'm quite new to Android and don't want to make a mistake, so is it enough to backup user data etc. or do I have to backup some part of recovery/system in order to be able to get back to stock 4.6.1?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
If you have installed cm-11 and want to return to stock the easier way is to flash the Safestrap flashable 4.6.1 zip file in Safestrap. Instructions are in the OP of that thread.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] Sorry for asking, Torch isn't working yet, is it?
[Amazon Fire Phone] vista1984:
Just found out this rom. Thanks for the great great effort. Will try out
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No torch yet, I know what the problem is - just looking for the best way to fix it. Have a couple of things to try which should work fine. Just ran out of time tonight :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] fulanorex:
lets try just a link.
[Amazon Fire Phone] beejjacobs:
This is awesome. Thanks ggow. Will definitely follow this, tempted to buy another just to test with for now...
[Amazon Fire Phone] lukas1010:
Thank you so much! I just installed everything and it's great so far!
[Amazon Fire Phone] russy23:
I saw a brand new fire phone for £60 the other day, should of got it now
[Amazon Fire Phone] sirrahx@gmail.com:
Today was the first time I visited the board in a while. Glad I did! You are the man ggow. I aint seen Google store in a while. Never got those other installs to stay working!

:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Will this work on any version of FireOS ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] DanKlas:
No, only if you are on 4.6.1 or 4.6.3 (I think 4.6.4 too).

You need to install Safestrap see here
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Ok Thanks! Gonna try it out

:)
[Amazon Fire Phone] helfrez:
Updated Build.prop

We may want to update the build.prop next release. Still running into incompatible issue for simple stuff like Watch faces. Easy manual patch atm.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Let me know what needs changing in the build.prop and I'll make sure to include in next release.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bgroins:
Nice, thanks for the workaround. I suppose someone could modify an open source camera app just for the Fire phone which sets these by default when you use the flash. Not me though, I got no coding skillz.
[Amazon Fire Phone] DROID_4_UsEr:
what error do you get cause my guess is your cm11 zip is corrupted. Try re-downloading the zip file. Should be working fine
[Amazon Fire Phone] jaycrewz:
Christ,

So this evening I stalled Zedge to find new ringtones and wallpapers. I started listening to previews, and after about a minute the phone just froze. At first I thought it was the app...because Ive had that happen with Android before. But the home button or back button didnt do anything.

Then I tried turning the screen off. And now it wont come back on. I cant even tell if the phone is still on. None of the buttons are responding.

Until now I had no issues with CM11 aside from finding a camera app I liked.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

NVM

20 second hold on power button reset it for me. Maybe I should uninstall that program. Im going to try to recreate the issue and report back.
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
Ggow could you share your progress on the camera bugs? I'm a bit curious to learn what new progress you have made.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gthhan6:
Boot loop on LTE

Hi. Anyone experiencing boot loop while on LTE preffered setting?

I'm in South Korea and my phone occasionally goes in to boot loop when my phone setting is LTE preffered. Since I've changed to 3G preffered using hspda no trouble found.

I researched if people are experiencing similar problem, and so far I have only found similar problem reported on Korean blogs.

Btw my amazon phone had trouble with LTE even when I was on stock amazon OS, frequently loosing receptions while other phones working just fine.

Now with CM11, it's boot looping infinitely unless I get out of the zone where I experience problems. Many people in Korea using fire phone also believes that it is somehow LTE related.

Anybody have any clues?

Btw cm11 for fire phones rocks and many thanks to ggow for an awesome job.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Have you tried going into Settings->Mobile Networks->Preferred network type

- Then setting 3G as your preferred?

- If that works then somehow the problem is more likely caused by a anomaly with LTE
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- No real progress on the camera to report
[Amazon Fire Phone] Dantrpan:
I love this ROM. Sorry, I did not search all the posts, but I thought I would chime in on the camera.

Google Camera

- Works

- It's rather plain

Open Camera

- Works

- Too many options

Snap Camera

- Works kind of - Issues in low light when flash is on. The pictures only show a bright light.

- Too many options

Camera MX **Winner for me YMMV

- Works

- Good amount of options

- Like the interface

Aillis

- Works

- Like the interface

- Good amount of options

- Don't like that after you take a picture it goes to a screen for sharing the pic. I just want to get back to the camera screen.
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
Did the flash work for you with Google Camera? I observed the issue with terribly overexposed pictures when flash was turned on.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jasonl99:
I've tried all the cameras, and I can't get the flash to work in any of them.

I just tried the earlier suggesting of setting the exposure to -2 with Open Camera, and noticed something interesting. When I look at the picture's metadata, I see the following:

Flash: Fired

Exposure Time: 1/20

ISO: 2697

With Google Camera, it's similar:

Exposure Time: 1/40

ISO: 1425

There's no way it should be at 1/20th or 1/40 of a second for exposure time, nor should the ISO be so high. I can't help think this is some sort of timing issue when the camera expects the flash to go off. If the flash fire just a moment too late (while the camera is detecting light levels) it sees it to dark and adjusts the ISO and exposure time accordingly. Then the flash happens, and all the settings are messed up.

In Open Camera, when I turn the flash off and take the same picture, my ISO and Exposure Time settings are almost identical to the ones with the flash (1/17 second, ISO 2381). That tells me pretty definitively that the camera is not "seeing" the flash when it's metering before taking the picture.
[Amazon Fire Phone] russy23:
damn been away and still no new build..fireOS with gapps is better than this imo
[Amazon Fire Phone] underdog_656:
cm11

Good day,

Could someone please tell me if it is worth moving to cm11 from fire os and also if yes then could you tell me the major problems of cm11 .

sry english is not my first language.
[Amazon Fire Phone] phirefone:
Yes, it is definitely worth it and here are the known issues from the first post in this thread:

Known Issues

- Some apps that utilise camera are not working correctly (eg SnapChat)

- NFC is not working yet

- Google Play Services crashes, this is quite infrequent and doesn't seem to cause any major problems - a bit annoying.

- MUTE button during calls does not work

- Lack of amazon source, see here.
[Amazon Fire Phone] underdog_656:
I am still confused about the battery is it better on cm11 or fire os.

are there any issues with mobile networks or wifi.
[Amazon Fire Phone] phirefone:
I'd say 7 releases in 7 weeks is pretty good. I'm pretty new to CM11, but I am extremely impressed with all the work ggow has put in and think CM11 blows fireOS out of the water already and it is still only in Beta stage.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Ha ha , nice one Russy23 I hope you are joking , there is no way I would go back to Fire after using this ,CM build , super quick , just look at the AnTuTu scores , the minor quibbles are only that , minor and don't let those put anybody off trying it out .

I tried real hard to like Fire OS but this wins hands down , no return for me :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] russy23:
Ok its not better..just being impatient for a perfect release..my bad..im not using cm11 full time as i use hdr mode
[Amazon Fire Phone] hellmichel:
OK, wich Camera is the best ?

I use Snap Camera. Is there a better one for this Rom ?

Gesendet von meinem Fire Phone mit Tapatalk
[Amazon Fire Phone] Darcw0lf:
Honestly after putting Gapps on, and google launcher I have no problem with the fire phone, and I get a better signal with fire OS, sorry, don't care what people say, the CM11 rom is absolutely horrible connection for me, and I even replaced the phone thinking I had a bad phone. And the fact I have to change the wireless channel to get the 5GHz to work? What if I'm in a location that I can't do that? Also the gapps occasional crash and having to pull a camera app from the store. I'm sure it will be a great OS once it is out of beta, I did like how quick and fluid it felt, but I will wait until its out of beta until I try it again

.
[Amazon Fire Phone] JediNuts:
After having the device crash twice while in the Messaging app, I installed a different messaging app and started using it instead of the stock one. So far no crashes.

However, I was just on a phone call and the device crashed. Line just suddenly went dead and I looked at the screen and it was rebooting.

Any suggestions?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Snap Camera seems to be good for me too.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Not sure, never seen that. Is it happening frequently?
[Amazon Fire Phone] JediNuts:
Three crashes so far (in the week since installing cm11). Twice while composing a message in stock messaging app (have since switched apps) and once today while on phone call.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Does anyone know if there is an app that can capture a rolling logcat. I need a log of the issue to be able to help but not about the best way to capture this if the phone is crashing out completely.
[Amazon Fire Phone] thomasj223:
Crash>Reboot

I have had multiple random crash>reboots over the past 2 weeks.

Once while browsing in chrome with spotify in background

Twice while the phone was navigating in google maps

Once while looking at a restaurant menu .pdf file in google drive pdf reader app

At least one other random time, don't remember what I was doing

The other issue I am having (but already somewhat reported) is echo and low quality in google hangouts dialer (voip) that renders it unusable.

Is there a method I could use to capture a log, or otherwise help troubleshoot these issues?

Running 7/26 build with HDX Nexus gapps and supersu flash. Also, thanks ggow for making this phone great!
[Amazon Fire Phone] russy23:
Is it true cm11 doesnt support hdr mode..doesnt matter what device it is
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I've not seen any crashes at all so can't comment there

- not sure about Google dialler app echo. Can only think that the noise cancellation mic is not working

- it is generally accepted here I believe that hdx nexus gapps is not as stable as pa gapps pico which is linked in the op and now the recommended version of gapps for a while now.

- I am running the latest build with pa gapps. I suggest you try this too.
[Amazon Fire Phone] maverick9611:
this happened to me too,i list all my signal and i have a at t tower 2 backyards over
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Some things to consider here are:

- were you using the signal icon in the status bar to determine that you had lost all signal?

- were you able to make and receive calls?

- was data connection functional

- I think cm11 is reporting lower signal level even though the measured signal level is the same as on stock by looking at the db signal strength
[Amazon Fire Phone] maverick9611:
i'm using db signal strength,it shows lower but i can make calls and data is working.i did a speed test and it alot lower that with stock amazon os,i have tower in line of sight 2 doors down,speed test was 18.28 mbps download so i must have a signal,it doesn't show it though(showing -121db)i read -40db shows your right next to a tower.i'm not gonna sweat it as i've switched a couple of times and cm-11 rocks:good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] yt400pmd:
I have been using ggow rom since the 1st day it came out. I will NEVER go back! His Rom is silky smooth. An occasional hiccup with Google play services crashing but definitely NOT a deal breaker! ! His Rom seems to have better battery life, I don't have two phones to test side by side, but I am contemplating getting another phone just to have so I can have a backup. His Rom is THAT good! If I get a second phone I will do a side by side comparison.

Just follow the OP to the Tee using the recommended gapps, and you will never look back

Thanks again! !

More donations coming your way!

Don't listen to the naysayers!
[Amazon Fire Phone] amfractal:
Thanks for the awesome guide. After installing CM I am not able to access the phone with USB connected to my PC (win 10 x64). Any suggestions?

It shows it is charging but it doesn't mount the drive or anything. Makes moving backups and new apps to the phone very hard. Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Look at the FAQ on Post #3, at Question 2

- That should solve that.
[Amazon Fire Phone] yt400pmd:
ggow you are very patient individual. The noobs repeatedly ask the same questions that are ALL answered on the 1st page.

You never chastise anyone.

I have been rooting and ROMming since the G1. Maybe I take it for granted but shouldn't the 1st page at a minimum be read BEFORE asking questions?

NOT only do you have coding skills of a God, you also have the patience of a saint
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- if I had my way yes everyone should at least read the first page of posts before asking questions

- losing the plot for me serves no purpose. Not to say that I don't sometimes because everyone does

- I like working on these difficult devices and enjoy been able to help in this way

- this is really what I enjoy doing Android, Linux kernel - good stuff :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
So ggow, camera progress hasn't moved much as of yet? I know this was mentioned over here before but have you tried porting over just part of the Amazon framework to cm11? It could help with the camera problems and maybe nfc too. You could also use it to reverse engenier what you need to get those things working properly. If what I'm saying is nonsense then ignore my suggestion because I'm in no rush. I just happen to be curious about how you do things.

P.S. How is NFC coming up?
[Amazon Fire Phone] DNS_ERR:
Can't port without source.
[Amazon Fire Phone] axel2230:
I see. That's bad then. So we are at the mercy of Amazon or some workarounds then.

But seriously, thanks for the answer, I hadn't thought about searching, my bad. :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] yt400pmd:
Maybe post the original CyanogenMod disclaimer in the OP ?

*** DISCLAIMER ***

While this build is heavily optimized, it is also capable of pushing your G1 much harder. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or the current economic crisis. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Possibly bold the part about research?

I guess I am just getting cranky with people wanting to be spoon fed the answers, half the people here feel like they are the only one that has experienced the problem they are having, I can't even count how many times the camera issue has been re-hashed!

The search button is right there ! It's not hiding!

How many of these people would have bricked their phones if they had to extend the OS partitions or re-flash the radio ?

</rant>
[Amazon Fire Phone] theandrewgordon:
Lol.. Yeah I hear you. I have seen a lot of dumb things. Unfortunately I'm not a noob, so no excuse, just didn't think to search... I have played with cdmaworkshop/dfs/qpst semi extensively for little fixes/mods, probably put CWM or TWRP on 15-25 different devices, and someone finds a way to softbrick or hardbrick on most forums.

Ps... The G1... What a phone! Lol...
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Re the "Google Play Services has stopped working " issue , I came across a You Tube video showing an app called lucky patcher curing this issue on some devices , has anybody tried this yet ?

I am too frightened to but would love to know if someone has had a go yet :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I have lucky patcher but have no idea how it'd resolve this issue. You have a link to the video?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Darcw0lf:
Someone asked me this previously, and my answer was it has nothing to do with the bars, I have given an example that I stream music to and from work, while using the fire OS I have no issues at all, but if I switch over to cm11 it is impossible. Basically data is inconsistent, web pages will start to load and then just stop loading half way, running a speedtest the needle jumps all over the place. Phone calls I never had an issue with though. I'm not trying to bash it and look forward to using it when it is out of beta, I just think it still needs work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] rich8511:
First of all, thanks ggow for the awesome work! CM 11 is so much better than the Fire OS and I am glad to be able to use it.

Here are my issues on my two phones I flashed:

1st phone:

Bluetooth streaming in the car has skips every 15-30 seconds.. very annoying.. I might switch back to Fire OS if I can't figure out how to fix

2nd Phone:

Can't get it to connect to LTE.. had to switch data connection from pna to other apn to get it to connect to 4G

Both:

Usual stuff everyone pointed
[Amazon Fire Phone] jeffreystryker:
I have had the LTE connection issue when leaving the wifi at work. Rebooting always solves this issue for me, don't know why though.
[Amazon Fire Phone] guliver365:
Maybe you can try the apk LTE discovery to restart the radio without rebooting
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
guliver365, are you referring to this app?

Hi guys.

I have another question. Are the updates to the ROM over the air, or we need to flash the updates?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
No OTA updates, because it's an unofficial port (for now). Needs to be flashed through safestrap.

---------- Post added at 13:02 ----------

This video made me chuckle (and the music is atrocious ^^). Don't be upset hawsey, you had the best intentions...

It's shows how to "fix" the Goople Play Store, not the services.

Btw. this won't solve anything and moving apps to the system partition can be done with other programs, not a fan of "pirate patcher".

The cause of the Play services crashing is more complex than this and ggow has already improved the situation by removing the oemcrypto library (responsible for a lot of Google Play services crashes).
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Ha ha , Bingo , I never listened to the music before but have now :) I will do a little dance to it every morning before work .....

Never mind , it was worth a try .8-)

Snapchat

Anyone find a workaround for snapshot? I really want to switch back yo cm11 but snapshot is huge for me.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Dantrpan:
I'll have to try it again. I was basically trying to find an app that had all the bell ans whistles I wanted. Open camera and snap camera have way too many options for me. I am more of a "point and click" user. I was loving snap camera for awhile until I took a photo in a low lit restaurant. Every single photo with a flash was just a bright light. It was a nightmare. So I tried camera MX after reading good things on lifehacker. So far it has worked well. I have not noticed the flash pics.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

Almost forgot. And I believe it's mentioned in the logs, google camera flakes out when you change the mode to HDR.
[Amazon Fire Phone] guliver365:
Yep this is the one
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
It's a little off topic but Lucky patcher is useful for beating a license checks on some apps. A lot of them aren't playable offline. I see nothing wrong using it on an app you paid for. My data plan is pretty stingy and when I visit my parents vacation home there's no WiFi.

But yes I'd say it's 90% about piracy. Knowing the vast majority of devs aren't making a fortune on their work, I don't take advantage. And most let you try before you buy so there's really no excuse to steal.

Wifi 5G is not working
[Amazon Fire Phone] k1mu:
5 GHz WIFi only works if you stay off of the DFS channels - try selecting a channel below 52 (48 and lower) and it'll show up on your phone.

The phone is DFS-capable, but CM doesn't enable the feature. I don't know how to turn it on for CM.

Does DoubleTwist Airplay work with this ROM?

First of all, I'm loving this ROM on my fire phone!

Wondering if anyone is using DoubleTwist Pro app to cast to Airplay devices while using this ROM. This app gives warning that ROM is homebrew and might not be compatible. Would love to hear from a user before shelling out the $.

Thanks!
