Its working in my unlocked Fire Phone. Great work [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

Look great, but i'm sad because i cant no use web whatsapp, is impossible scan the qr code on web.whatsapp

Are there some alternative for use web.whatsapp in my pc with this issue?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
No, in app camera usage doesn't work properly for now.

Meaning: most apps that utilize the camera (including QR / barcode scanners) will encounter said problems.

ggow is looking into it...

You could use pushbullet as a workaround... but the free version only allows 100 messages per month.

Hey, has anyone used NFC? I am able to use Androidbeam to send an image to another phone but it doesn't recognize NFC tags. Has anyone had success with tags like tectiles or tectags?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Welp...
[Amazon Fire Phone] pt80chip:
You're right, I should have done some reading. The truth is I keep up with this thread and I didn't think I missed that much but apparently there are pages which I skipped after NFC was fixed.

I'm personally having issues with the TecTags but all my other android devices have no trouble reading them.
[Amazon Fire Phone] suarez90:
Make sure you have a 4G compatible sim card.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- This doesn't seem to be a problem

- The relevant radio bands should become available depending on what region you are in
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
but for some reason i need 900 band only, and in stock rom-slot only euro(900/1800) and us bands(850/1900) are available is there anyway to do that?
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
I had exactly the same problem and found a solution. With Snap Camera HDR v6.5.2 and the CM-11 11/25/2015, in low-light exposures and using the onscreen camera button, only my first snapshot would fire correctly. All subsequent pictures would have a delay of 15 seconds unless Snap Camera was restarted. The solution is to configure the hardware button as per the instructions and only use the Fire phone hardware button and not the onscreen button to take pictures. The delay does not occur with the hardware camera button.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KingPin:
can we get buildin Night mode?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Nice tip but the problem Im having is after i take the 1st pic (with button) I need to use my finger to focus or it becomes blurry. This is especially true when the subject is moving (actually its always fuzzy when theres movement). Any fix for that?

On a somewhat related topic, xposed additions allows different actions to buttons. I know a lot of people avoid xposed for various reasons, but if anyone is using this Im curious if they incorporated it into the camera. Like one click focuses and long press takes pic (just an example). Reason i dont test myself is i dont have the pro version of xposed additions. Basic is VERY limited and Im not sure its worth purchasing pro. Thanks.

Has anyone notice Google plus closing automatically when clicking notifications or am I alone
[Amazon Fire Phone] HForHacks:
I have not experience this issue nor have I use Google +, but have you tried clearing the cache for Google +? That maybe will be your fix.

Also, it might have to do something about Google Play Services not working correctly. If you notice Google Play Store/Services errors then here's a fix I found to work:

Just download Lucky Patcher > Open the app > Scroll down to Google Play and select it > Click on tools on the pop-up > Move to system on the pop-up.
[Amazon Fire Phone] fungo45:
Just updated CM11 to the latest version to enable NFC. While that seems to be working, I have several apps that will no longer work, including Google Now and eBay. Tried deleting cache and data for each app. Uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Any thoughts?

Hope one day we can capture a perfect picture :(

[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
Thank you it is working now fine
[Amazon Fire Phone] mounx:
I just tested your example and it works like a charme ;) (I prefer setting the focus to the long press and the short for taking the picture and combined with autofocus I am very happy with this phone now in all regards). Despite all the reasons for not using xposed, I had no problem so far at all...

Thanks ggow for making this device perfect!
[Amazon Fire Phone] stunvn:
Is it better? It look like the built-in camera app. I
[Amazon Fire Phone] fungo45:
Thanks, I'll try that later. When you say to clear cache, is that the dalvik cache option after flashing the ROM?

[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
I contacted Amazon in September and asked them about it and got this reply.
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
This reply is from 2 days ago:

*Really, it stops at "you can".

But anyway, let's keep this thread on-topic please.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Based on your positive experience I bought the pro extensions last night. I mapped the button and it worked for taking a pic but focus doesnt seem to do anything. My settings are simple-1 key (camera button) with 2 conditions - single click "camera" long press "camera focus". Did you do anything else to make it work?

Update-right after posting here I noticed xposed additions had an update available. What intrigued me was the changelog "Fixed issue with Fire Phone"

But after installing it the camera button still doesnt focus. Wonder what the developer fixed?
[Amazon Fire Phone] mounx:
First, I created a new condition via "Add new condition"-"Load Application List" -"Snap". In that condition, I assigned the normal click to "Camera (Key 27)" and the long click to "Camera Focus (Key 80)". I tested it during daylight and it worked as excepted - now, during night, it works like sh*t actually, still focusing but randomly dropping the flash or not taking a picture at all...I will look into it and report if I get better results....

Update: Not really "better" results, just an observation: If I focus on something with a long press, the picture on screen is clear and the flash turns on - during focusing. However, if I want to to take the picture then with a single click, the flash does not turn on and takes the picture without light instead (which looks bad..), only after a second single press, the flash turns on as needed, taking a good picture. Spontaneous shots are therefore not possible atm.

However, by using autofocus and ignoring to focus manually with a button, most pictures turn out quite good, even at dark settings.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Thanks. I did set it up right but after reading your post I realized why the focus (long press) didn't appear to be working (dumb actually--I had it on auto focus). So everything's working. But to be honest even when i turn off the auto focus I don't see a real change in clarity. I'm REALLY not a knowledgeable guy when in comes to cameras though. To my eyes, most of my pics seem fine except for when I try to capture a moving subject. The slightest motion results in blur for me. No concerns with over exposure but the blurriness is one thing I'd like to remedy.
[Amazon Fire Phone] buzz86us:
Like this but it crashes like crazy on some of the apps I use daily like slickdeals and deviantart plus data speed is diminished
[Amazon Fire Phone] mpces:
On the 12/9 build I was having a lot of crashes including slickdeals app went back to the 11/25 build and all is good

New Build is Up

- Dated 23 Dec 2015

- Change log on Post #2

- I'll be interested to hear if any of the app issues from the previous build are fixed or continuing to be a problem

- If the problems persist I'll branch Cyanogen's at a time-point when all was good

- I'll wait till I have enough feedback before deciding
[Amazon Fire Phone] Nobuddy0816:
Thanks again for supporting the FP!:good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] randybo:
Yeah, the CM-11 11/25/2015 release has been the Fire Phone gold standard for me too. It's been rock solid with all my apps I use daily.

I didn't have any problems with any of your builds just updated on the latest one. I don't know why other's have so much bugs

[Amazon Fire Phone] dato02:
same there actually. mostly no problem.

edit: had some problem with root. i had it like to survive OTA but didn't help. reinstalled from recovery but still didn't help. then removed it with in app option (cleanup for reinstallation from playstore) and installed from playstore. so far everything's fine. didn't try to delete data tho, might have helped.

I had problems with google plus closing after launching the notifications on previous build. I have been using 23 build for the past half an hour and it seems to have fixed. Thank you
[Amazon Fire Phone] cmb6:
I have had many crashes with Fenix and Trebuchet with the December 9 build. I'm downloading the new build now, and I'll provide feedback when I can make an assessment.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Is anyone having problems on the latest build? I don't know if I want to flash the latest build after the problems on the Dec 9 build.
[Amazon Fire Phone] HForHacks:
When I flashed the Dec. 23 build (so far the latest), it deleted Google Play Store again.. I however noticed when I install Google Play Store and made it a system app using Lucky Patcher, I was able to use In-App purchases again. On older builds, In-App purchases would just have errors. So far that's the only most notable change.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Always good to see an update. Thanks! I'll report any bugs but my only real concern with the last 2 updates is that 5GHZ doesn't show up unless I manually set it to channels 36-48. I looked into it a little and it seems this was a problem with CM but the posts I found were at least a year old. From there no one really came up with a fix except doing what we do here and change the channel. The only major change was NFC. Ever since that was implemented 5 GHZ went out of range.

BTW--if anyone is in the USA and are able to use the higher 5 GHZ channels please let me know. It's possible the issue is my router.
[Amazon Fire Phone] pt80chip:
How do you manually change the channels? Or are you changing them on your router?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
On router

[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
I was one of the installers that had to move back to November due to the app crashing. I've been in this version for almost 24 hours with no issues, will keep you updated.

Thanks again, as always!
[Amazon Fire Phone] zabihjan:
No problem at all it is perfect
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
It's not just you KLit. Like you, I used to be able to use the upper channels if I changed my Netgear Router from "up to 1300mbps" to "up to 600mbps". Now channel 149 is completely invisible regardless. No disrespect to ggow, but I gave up on 5GHz working properly in the USA as it's working fine from his perspective so he's focused his energies elsewhere. Can't blame the guy, and I'm not smart enough to fix it myself (I've actually spent a few hours researching the subject), so I've relegated myself to 2.4GHz. Even with this compromise, I still prefer ggow's CM11 over stock.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hackashaq:
Same here. No 5g upper channels available. It's been a few releases since they were available iirc.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Nobuddy0816:
As far as i can say, also with latest dec 23 update i have no issues at all.

- Playstore and other google-services are working as expected. There were installed via flashing the zip from opengapps on initial flash of CM11 and were never touched again, except updating via google itself.

- mobile data and phone are working as expected, no interrupts or any other problems. Always clear connections. Mobile data are from LTE network with expected speed (o2).

- Wifi-connections are working too. No special settings made, just the config via setup wizard done on initial setup, no more changes made and never touched again. No issues and normal speed. Router: AVM FritzBox 6360 cable.

- Daily use with no issues, freezes or crashes so far. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime with no problems. All installed apps are working without any probs so far. also any app with root needed (e.g. Titanium Backup) are working as expected.

Sometimes i've noticed, that an app i used before and was closed correctly (e.g. snap cam) is opening again, if i close another app thereafter. But this behaviour i've noticed also before when i was using stock fire os. Under fire os this issue was massively noticed. When i was navigating (tomtom) and closed the nav app, then i had to close sometimes two or three apps after that, which i was used sometimes before (e.g. browser, camera).v This behaviour is rare under cm11 and not as massive as under fire os.

- BT-connections are working as expected. Connecting to the car audio, streaming music with no issues. even multiple connections are working perfect (car audio and smartwatch (samsung gear fit)). Also bt headsets are correct connected.

The only thing i've noticed also in previous updates is the volume level.

For my taste the steps in leveling the volume are to weak and do too little steps between low and high volume. Even the lowest volume level is too loud. I've tried to deactivate the dsp and/or replaced it with dolby atmos but no change. So it's difficult to make a less noisy and descrete volume level for a quiter environment.

Dolby Atmos did the opposite and made it even much louder also with auto leveling deactivated. Any hints are welcome!

I'll give more feedback, if some issues are revealed.

Merry X-Mas @ all

just flash 12/23 update hope the notification will work on this update

the notification didn't work on my phone no sound no vibration. is it only me?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Thanks guys. That's what I thought. Well I just set it to 48 and have been running the latest features with no issues for about 24 hours. MIGHT flash back to 11/19 since I currently have little use for nfc. No serious complaints. Still a solid rom. Hope everyone's enjoying the holiday!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
i'm testing the camera again this time i turn flash off the pictures came out perfect without shutter lag i think the hardware on fire phone can handle it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Haven't given up on a fix for this

- There could be something missing from CM required to make this work correctly.

- I will be able to borrow a more configurable router soon then I can do a bit more digging

It's Going to be a CM-11 Amazon Fire Phone Christmas

Well it's Christmas Day, and I have three Amazon Fire Phones that are humming along nicely thanks to all the hard development work of Joel Bacchus (ggow) this year. While I was downloading the latest 'cm-11-20151223-UNOFFICIAL-kodiak.zip', I clicked the ggow 'Donate' button by the download link and donated $10 via PayPal to show a little holiday appreciation for this fantastic ROM from Joel. I think this would be a good time of the year for others to do the same who have the financial resources and have benefited this year from his efforts. I have a friend on disability who I gave one of my CM-11 Fire Phones to for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. As much as I love Amazon.com, I really hated Amazon's Fire OS, and this ROM made three great Android phones from phones I got almost for free during the Amazon Fire Phone fire sale closeout. Merry Christmas Joel and thanks again for being a great developer for all of us Amazon Fire Phone owners.

[Amazon Fire Phone] topcaser:
Hi, I had my first phone call today with the ROM (version from 24. Oct). Unfortunately the hang on button did not work. I downloaded another phone app but after dialing I just got a black screen.

Are there any known problems regarding this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsteinschneider:
I'm thinking about upgrading, having been on the Note 2 for 3 years. I'm running Alliance Rom 32 (4.4.2) and it runs well so maybe I should just keep it. I would get the Note 4 but I use root for Viper4Android, Adfree and to be able to turn off/remove background "bloat" apps. Maybe the Note 4 is fast enough to overcome the lag background apps can cause?

I'm on a VZW family plan so tethering isn't an issue.

I use the Pen once in a while for note taking but could live without it.

What are rooted Galaxy Note 2 users moving to?

Thanks,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dugall12:
I've been on a rooted Note 2 for 3 years also. I'm stuck since I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan. For me it's all about the camera. I use my phone to document my kids growing up. That being said the best camera on an Android device right now is in the galaxy S6 but the lack of removable battery and storage kinda blows so I would probably get the Note 4 at this point even though I'm kinda over the phablet thing. A buddy at work has the Note 4 edge and that thing is nice. Also you may want to consider the next iPhone. I hate to say it but everything is designed to work with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsteinschneider:
[MENTION=2190943]Dugall12[/MENTION] - thanks for your thoughts. You post confirms my suspicion that perhaps my Note 2 running Alliance ROM 32 is about as good as it gets right now. Like you I've considered a 5 inch screen phone. We have an extra Galaxy S4. I just rooted it to stang5litre debloated Lollipop 5.01 OC1. I used it for a few days and thought performance and battery power were quite good. I then gave it to my college age son to try and he says its overheating. I think he's running some third party app that causing the issue. Another option is we have an available VZW upgrade and could get an S5 for $50 through Amazon.

I can't believe Samsung turned the next Galaxy S into an iPhone clone. I have done a few screen repairs for friends iPhone 6's and had the opportunity to use those phones for a few hours just to see what they're like. I'm not impressed. I find an Android running Nova Prime to be more intuitive and easy to use. I don't get the attraction of a sleek and beautiful phone - they need to be in a bumper case - at that point they all look the same. For those who want to argue that - every screen repair I do is for phones used without a case.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] bobschmidt:
WiFi tethering worked like a charm on 4.3 (stock), but it will work for a few minutes and then cut out. However, it still seems as though my HAM2 has data. The tablet I'm tethering still shows itself connected to my phone, but with the exclamation mark that shows no data is being received. I've had this problem as soon as I updated to 5.1. I'm on T-Mobile and have "Always-On Data" setting selected.

Pretty sure this is a software issue since it was perfectly fine before updating. Anybody have any luck dealing with this?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerohueso:
I recently got the Z1s and decided I wanted to lighten it up a bit (coming from an N4, the SYSTEM footprint of the Z1s seems huge). Since the bootloader is locked (thanks, T-Mobile) I was just going to modify the stock ROM. So, I grabbed the newest FTF C6916_14.5.B.0.236_T-mobile_US.ftf, extracted the system.sin with 7-zip, and then extracted that to EXT4 using Flashtool 0.9.18.6. However, the resulting EXT4 can't be read by EXT4 Unpacker.

I also tried downloading and unpacking the FTF with XperiFirm (now built in to Flashtool), but the system.ext4 was still unreadable.

Does anyone have some tips on what I may be doing wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just2Cause:
You're not doing anything wrong, I've had the same problem back in the days when my Z1 was alive. Anyways, I've found 1 app to extract system back in the days, I don't remember the name but I belive it's still somewhere on my PC/HDD I'll tell you if I find it.

And I don't think it'll be useful for

modding

the ftf as you can't re-pack it (or at least that was my case back in the days)

Regards,

~J2C
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerohueso:
Thanks, that would be helpful.

I'm actually going to try making a flashable ZIP/ROM rather than repack it as an FTF. I'm just wanting to use the FTF as a source as I don't remember getting a NANDROID of my SYSTEM prior to any modifications.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorianX:
Use PRFCreator http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904 then you can unpack the system.ext4 file.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerohueso:
Thanks for the tips. I found that AccessData's Imager Lite, a tool for reading various disk images, was able to properly read the System.ext4 and export its whole file tree. Now it's on to the next step: seeing if I can make the system dump flashable.
