Thanks for replying personally, ggow. The XDA menus "xda-developers, Amazon Fire Phone, Fire Phone Android Development, lead me to:

"[ROM] LineageOS-11 [20 Jul 2017] Thread by ggow" with a resulting page URL of:

http://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/development/rom-cm-11-20150706-unofficial-t3151443

I assume that is the original post (dated "6th July 2015, 1156 AM"). If it is then it is the page where the last two patch dates are not hyperlinked in my browsers. If it is not then can you simply provide the URL to the OP?

I'm VERY sorry to trouble you with this. I've been applying your patches from day one so I don't know why I'm having so much trouble now.

I updated to the 07/20 release a few days ago. Just now the phone got into a loop where it said the dialer died, click on ok, dialer died again, click on ok, dialer died, in an endless loop. Couldn't do anything else. Held in the power button until the phone turned off.

Powered on, and almost all apps are now missing, the google play store is gone, can't sync to google, even lost the chronus clock. That's weird. Reinstalled the OS and gapps, same result. Anyone else seen anything like this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] jontpt:
I've never seen this, although I have experienced the boot loop issue. Sounds like you need to do a reset then a clean install.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
Did a wipe and OS 7/05 version + gapps install, sync'd to my google account and all the apps got reinstalled, except for ones that were originally installed directly from apk rather than app store. Couple of hours later, phone is back to usable.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bavortex:

Guys, is there a sticky or some step by step guide to changing from stock to lineage? I haven't messed with Android in many years, so I forgot. Just want to change my old stock firephone, its just a backup phone, I'm selling my current phone till something better comes along (either Note 8 or iPhone 8) and I need to make this to last me for a month till I see which new phone is better.

[Amazon Fire Phone] xanthrax:
guys !

I would like to remind you that non ROM / development related questions , help requests should go here https://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/help even though the OP has been nice enough to not mention it .

Also the ETA requests are the worse requests ever for any developer unless he states in the first posts otherwise something similar to " if you`re curious about my personal life and if you need some updates , just post in the thread... " so let`s be human and refrain from pushing the developers , they are the only ones entitled to ask themselves for an ETA.

That being said , a small cleaning has been performed and I expect in the future to hit the report button instead trying to correct the users , be it justified or not , because that`s the moderators are here for.

Thanks for understanding

Hopefully, bluborne vulnerability can be addressed in the next build of this great rom.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kallsop:
I have been running lineage-11-20170705-UNOFFICIAL-kodiak, because after running for a few weeks the phone got into a reboot loop on lineage-11-20170720-UNOFFICIAL-kodiak and I had to reinstall everything.

Today the phone was at 40% battery, plugged it in to charge. Came back one hour later, the phone has turned off and the battery is at 0%. Unable to power on the phone even though it was plugged in and the charge current was 0.48A. Waited 30 minutes or so and the battery was at 8%, then was able to power on the phone. Maybe another 15 minutes later, the battery has struggled up to 10%. Not sure what is happening, the battery is not old. I have been getting 2 days between charges, going between 100% and 25% to 30%.

I don't think so. Stock didn't do that. My battery life is great on this Rom.

I had same problem in Lineage/Miui/Fireos. But now i have a new Fire Phone because is changed in warranty by Amazon Germany, Hardbricked the defective one. So my new Fire Phone works very well, no problems, but with 1st fire, like i said, in all roms i had same issue
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
I'm going to assume battery as well. There's been a few threads created of battery problems. Mine's starting to do the thing where it's not reading accurately below 30%. It will jump to 14%, then to 8%, then it just powers off and won't turn it immediately after plugged in as it's only flashing the charging icon. All of this is on the second Fire phone I have on the stock rom. After all, the phone is pushing a bit past 3 years old.

Mine did the same thing almost, I started out with a new phone 1 year later the phone would not run without being plugged in constantly, Ordered a battery no change, checked the new battery and it was bad. Ordered a new battery from a different seller everything works now but I don't seem to be getting the power as I did on the original battery either, about 5 1/2 hours before I have to charge again
[Amazon Fire Phone] dinokhan:
Thanx to keep the Fire alive
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
I fixed my issue by draining the battery to zero then recharge fully. Next, use Battery Calibrator in the play store. The graph and percentage jumping is much better now although not perfect, it's acceptable.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Do you use something like amplify, greenify, l speed to conserve battery drain?
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
No. I have my phone on airplane mode most of the time with WiFi on. I keep wifi set to OFF when screen is OFF although it still stays on while streaming. I use this phone primarily for music, YouTube and surfing. No phone calls. It's my media device basically. I've have got great battery life this way.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
It seems BLE is problematic now with the current latest version of the Lineage rom here. My guess is its from the "bluebourne patches". Might be able to install an earlier version to test if need to know for sure.

Loses connection most of the time or doesn't work when connected. Turning off android bluetooth + unpairing + turning off BLE device doesn't seem to help. Rebooting doesn't help.

Different device works fine with same BLE device and same app code. Fire phone worked fine before - its not the hardware or android version.

Seem to be getting this crash which seems to show mStateLock is null.:

BluetoothGatt: Unhandled exception in callback

java.lang.NullPointerException

at android.bluetooth.BluetoothGatt$1.onClientConnectionState(BluetoothGatt.java:168)

at android.bluetooth.IBluetoothGattCallback$Stub.onTransact(IBluetoothGattCallback.java:71)

at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:404)

at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method)

And this interesting thing:

BluetoothGatt: cancelOpen() - device: A3:32:58:EA:39:A7

D/BluetoothGatt: close()

D/BluetoothGatt: unregisterApp() - mClientIf=5

Code MAY ALSO BE notified from device with information then no more will be received despite no logs showing a problem and everything showing connected state.

This happens until BLE connection is disconnected then reconnected. Then may only get 1-4 responses from device before nothing happens once again (no code activity at all). When this happens, turning BLE device off then back on continues code activity without making any change via code.

/storage/sdcard0 doesn't appear on Safestrap, I looked inside all the folders and I couldn't find where my Internal Storage is located.

I have a special folder just for this purpose ("for_flashing") in the root directory, in which I store everything that's needed. So it's all in one place and I won't accidentally delete anything while cleaning up my download folder.

Hi [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

Asus Zenphone 2 also uses ov680 sensor chip and it's kernel source have been shared on git.

https://github.com/BORETS24/Kernel-for-Asus-Zenfone-2/blob/master/drivers/external_drivers/camera/drivers/media/i2c/ov680.h

May be binary & libs from these source may help out in fixing lineage camera issues.

Also, from stock rom, is it possible to remove corodova webview & old blink/webcore components, and to replace them with standard kitkat webview?

As I think most of the streaming issues on the fire rom originated due to Amazon's custom webview implementation in fire rom. Same issues were present in old Amazon fire 7 rom (tab) but they were fixed in successive updates.

Anyways thanks for supporting this device :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Jakky567:
Quick question. I made adjustments to the build.prop to get 1440p YouTube, but it keeps resetting after a reboot. Is that standard for KitKat or just the device?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Hi newinnov,

Thanks for the link to the Zenfone stuff, however we also have the kernel source code for the firephone which contains amazon's implementation for the ov680 however it's the userspace implementation details which we do not have that are causing the camera issues we experience when using a custom rom.

Making mods like changing webview components are not possible because amazon have used a custom dex format which cannot be decompiled with standard tools.

Just a quick note:

Google's monthly security bulletin (here) doesn't include any patches relevant to kitkat.

So there probably won't be a new build this month.

Hi,

I am trying to use the Google Cardboard app but when I try to set up my "glasses" it tries to open the camera to scan a code... and obviously it doesn't work.

Any workarounds?

(I may have to go back to install FireOS)

Thank you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Had no idea Google still patched Kitkat. Kind of expected that you'd be patching through changes made to Lineage, though maybe Lineage devs don't work on Kitkat anymore? I could probably just search that one lol

Either way Lineage here has at least another problem where the launcher gets squeezed over and a good section unused which is a pain when it happens so it would be nice if the rom has some fixes at least. (Using another launcher = another device for me =)

Didn't test it much but in theory you should be able to change the default camera from the lockscreen camera icon. However, it looks like that won't be possible at least with Lineage used here? I can't seem to get the popup for selecting a default app to pop up on ggow's Lineage rom.

For you (non-dev) you would need to find a way to get the default camera app used by android changed (if its even possible). Don't know if ggow did anything to the source because of the camera problem or just removed the app and if that causes any further problem on the user side of things. or even if Kitkat/Lineage won't pop that up.

With access to the android source it should be possible in some way and with an app it might maybe(?) be possible. I'm an app dev but haven't looked into creating apps for roms which have the necessary access for the case presented here and I have more important apps to work on.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] sorry for disturbing, but since some weeks i see error from instagram when accesing camera, shows black screen. I have to mention that worked with all your custom rom versions. In SnapCamera, WhatsApp, Snapchat works well.

Single button operation

Hello,

Thanks for the ROM. You did an excellent job!

Would it be possible to add 'back' action in the buttons menu? And maybe a setting to remove the onscreen buttons would be awesome, too. I know the last one can be done with the build file, but it messes up other stuff, so if you know how to, a quick setting in that app would be great.

I would start a poll on the issue, as I think it's an excellent addition to phones with at least one physical button.

Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

If anyone else is interested, I managed to get rid of the buttons.

First of, install Button Mapper: Remap your keys by flar2 from the Play store.

It also has a paid version, if you also want to restore the camera button :cowboy:

Then, just edit /system/build.prop file (BACKUP FIRST! - you need root) and add as the last line:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Save, reboot, and voila. no more software keys and you can use 100% of the screen real estate.

I have another firephone with the same problem since some month.

Interesting thing:

I tried 5 different charger, no charger charge the phone.

(I have another firehone which can be charged with them...)

Yesterday we tried another charger for the car which probably killed my tablet.

This is the only charger which charge the phone while the phone is powered on.

I don't understand why this charger can charge the phone while it is powered on. It can even charge the phone while navigating and the specs on the charger are 0,5A oO

(everytime we use the same usb cable)

[Amazon Fire Phone] rjmohit:
A few observations using advanced reboot:

1. Reboot to recovery renders the phone useless until force restarted by hard pressing power button.

2. Reboot to bootloader takes us to the fastboot interface. Can this be useful in anyway to unlock bootloader. I've been trying to use fastboot but my PC doesn't seem to find the right drivers. :/
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Just flashed the new update. Open camera still opens to a black screen. Think I read somewhere in this thread that clearing data fixes this? Not for me anyway. F5 camera does work but I hate it. It's a great app for pros but all i want is simple point & shoot and this is too much. Far as I can tell it doesn't put that tiny review window in the corner so you can easily look at the recent pics. Am I the only one having this issue with Open Camera? I'm not sweating having a more complex camera app but am wondering why it broke...

5ghz for me shows marginal improvement in download speeds but what's strange is my upload speed is faster. I don't have FIOs so this is definitely a new one for me!

But, overall the rom is solid! Even if I had high expectations they probably would've been trumped by this! :good:
