I noticed that the speakerphone was kinda low too. I have two phones, and put SlimKat on the other. Had them both call voicemail at the sametime on speakerphone and SlimKat's was louder. Not sure what would cause that, or exactly how much louder it is, don't have a meter.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Apparently #2 of my post isn't valid. I just tried this on CM11 on my older P930 and it behaves the same. I'd still love the dedicated camera button to work on and off the lock screen, that's the only pain point I have right now, outside of the default mail program maybe just being dated? (no fault to the OPs build)

Still, this rom is very stable. Been daily driving it for a bit now. Thanks again!!

Problems with MMS

Hey guys. I'm running this awesome ROM on my fire phone, on AT&T. Aside from the occasional "Google Play Services has stopped" messages and the lack of Snapchat support (Have to use Casper), I have a big problem.

I'm using the phone on AT&T. I can't send or receive MMS. This includes pictures and group texts. I've tried changing the APN settings, but nothing seems to work. Data works fine. Here are the APN settings I'm using:

Name: ATT Phone

APN: phone

Proxy: not set

Port: not set

Username: not set

Password: not set

Server: not set

MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication Type: None

APN Type: default,mms,supl,hipri

APN protocol: IPv4

APN roaming protocol: IPv4

Is this a known issue with this ROM? Or am I doing something wrong?

Also, will using SlimKat ROM instead fix the issue?

MMS was working fine on the stock Fire ROM.

Thanks.

I also have had issues with Bluetooth both not connecting and regularly disconnecting from my stereo when I'm streaming music. After searching several other forums one user reported that he cleared the cache by going into Settings -> Storage, then tap on Cache and tap on OK. The process took a few seconds and I rebooted my phone afterwards. This seems to have fixed my issue (in the short term) anyway.

Amazon Seller App Camera

Hi all,

I searched the forum before making this post, so hopefully not a repost.

Right now the camera for the Amazon Seller App doesn't work. When hitting the 'barcode" feature (which turns on the camera to scan a bar-code) - its essentially frozen.

Is this something I should submit as a bug report? I am new to the forums but would love to assist in any way I can.

I am currently running 11-20150829-UNOFFICIAL-kodiak

Loving CM11, thank you so much!

@ SuperCana05

Phone works great for me no complaints on cm 11. You may want to try APN Type: Not set, Bearer: Unspecified. Also for Name: and APN Name: try ATT or RESELLER this is case sensitive, all caps. Hope this helps!

Btw on a side note I have noticed that although mute button doesn't work during calls, you can press the pause button for hold, this acts like mute and they can't hear tested myself last night

[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Yes, it states in the OP that "apps that utilise camera are not working correctly". In app camera usage is a big issue for most apps, Casper (snapchat alternative) is one of "the few" that works properly.

Does the fire phone work on networks outside the US?
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Yes all OK here in UK :)

Sent by SlimKat FirePhone
[Amazon Fire Phone] scotyard:
Sweet, thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Hey scotyard, MrSalue's problem isn't network related, in case you were worried, it's caused by camera usage (referring strictly to the video calling issue on custom ROMs).

Since you asked in the "India" thread as well: an unlocked Phone will work as long as the carrier supports the IMEI and the frequency bands are supported. Airtel & Vodafone are confirmed.

[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Press and hold the "Enter" ⏎ key, then swipe left to the emoji / smiley icon.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MrSalue:
Thank you umm small question is their a way to keep it next to the Enter button or anywhere else in keyboard layout ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
No, not that I know of, you would need another keyboard from Googly Play or any other market, that supports custom layouts.
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperCana:
I tried that APN setting as well. Still no success :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] scotyard:
My question to him was generic and I was aware that his problem wasn't network related(thanks for informing me though). I was worried that others in that thread were not able to get it working with local networks. Thank you for confirming that it's working with Airtel and Vodafone!!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ballboff:
Hi guys, don't know if anyone else has run into this issue but here goes... I received a call yesterday and I was listening to soundcloud at the time, I had my headphones attached. They are just standard headphones with no remote in the cable. Firstly the ringtone was coming out through the speaker instead of my headphones. I then went to pause my music and answer the call. The call came through loudspeaker and i couldn't take it off loudspeaker as the icon on the phone had no effect. I have been able to answer calls and make calls without any issues, without the headphones attached. Anyone else had this issue, or is there some config I need to do? Or is it a bug?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- It sounds like a bug

- The way the ROM is running on the stock kernel and a mish mash of stock HAL libs etc it seems there is mismatch between the layers.

- I'll post a note in the OP later warning about this issue.

I think I'll give CM 11 another try then , could someone point me in the right direction on how to use Titanium Backup please , I can work out how to back everything up but I don't understand how to restore from backup after switching Roms or where the backup goes even , thanks

Sent by SlimKat FirePhone
[Amazon Fire Phone] gunslingerfry:
Backup goes to sdcard/TitaniumBackup IIRC. Backing up and restoring is super easy. Just hit the batch action button which looks like a check mark, and select the one you want. Then you have a chance to modify the list of items to backup/restore.

It's been about a month since I've used the Fire on CM11. Has the call quality improved at all? I had to stop because everyone I talked to on the phone said my side was hard to hear.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
When you say it goes to the SD card , will this remain intact if I do a dirty flash :) call quality was OK for other peeps for me .

[Amazon Fire Phone] billclay1988:
I'm thinking of going back to CM11 just for the theme support. I was using a Lollipop theme so my Fire phone had a modern look. The Kitkat look of Slimkat feels ancient by comparison. I'll probably use a Marshmallow theme when I flash back.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gunslingerfry:
It will only get wiped if you do a factory reset and include internal storage.

i bought this for the prime membership to keep for myself and i want to give the phone as a gift for my 12 year old.

Seeing how i am going to install Cyan right away does it even matter if i have an amazon account? Can i just root and install Cyan without any kind of prime account?
[Amazon Fire Phone] bgroins:
Power up the phone first and register it with your account to get the year of Prime. Once you do that you can do whatever you want with it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] distearth:
Sorry if this is a stupid question... What would happen if I backed up all apps or whatever under Fire OS with Titanium and restored them on CM11 or SlimKat? Would things like Camera and NFC start working with those Amazon things installed?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
An optimistic question. It needs more than apps, camera HAL source code is needed to create a working environment for it, and that's just for one app.

Madushan1000 tried to create a USB OTG kernel module, given that it works at all...
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Has anyone asked Amazon if they will release the camera HAL source code? If so, has anyone gotten a reply from Amazon?
[Amazon Fire Phone] madushan1000:
I asked them about the probable violation of GPL they are doing on the kernel source code and they dodge the question all the time by focusing on something else in my question or giving some generic answer. I think most of the customer service people have no clue what the heck GPL is! and they are not passing our questions up the food chain.

Fire os 5 on Fire phone?

http://www.androidheadlines.com/2015/06/amazons-fire-os-5-will-compatible-fire-phone.html
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
@ ggow, if they release Fire OS 5, i expect a super stable version of CM-12 within one week. :laugh:

Fire OS 5 is needed as a base for newer custom ROMs, given that everything else still works (root, etc.)

If they plan on releasing a version, they could redeem themselves (at least a little bit) by getting rid of the bloated 3D textures & meshes for the launcher and some stock apps (dynamic perspective for the few games wouldn't be affected), create a new slick UI, the rest can stay / must stay because 90% of the OS is Amazon content related apps and services. I bet that's why the release of the mysterious developer version takes so long, because it's based on 5.0. ^^

Updating ROM

Sorry if this is a beginner type of question...Do I have to do a flash and wipe out my current apps / settings to update to the newest ROM every time it comes out or is there a way to do an OTA update? I know I can backup my data / apps and stuff, but was just wondering if there was an easy update way that wouldn't delete all my phone's configuration :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] yt400pmd:
You can do a dirty flash, that means you download the latest ROM boot into safestrap then install
[Amazon Fire Phone] kramttocs:
Is there a way to make the on screen home button open the app drawer but leave the hardware button as the home button?

Update: Found the post for Swipe Navigation. Works great.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Well, I noticed now the dedicated camera button opens the camera with a long press! However, it defaults to the stock camera which opens up inverted. This happens even when the default is set to Open Camera. I removed the default camera from Titanium Backup, but now holding the camera button does nothing as before.

Is there anyway we can get this button to recognize the default camera application, regardless of what it is? If not, any idea on how to fix the inverted camera so images aren't taken upside down?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Dammit, I forgot to remove the stock camera app

- Will upload a build shortly with the app removed.

EDIT:

- Look on Post #3 - Question 4 to fix the problem with default camera

- Link is going down until the new ROM file is uploaded

- File links have been updated, stock camera removed
[Amazon Fire Phone] MrSalue:
we can " update " the phone by just flasing this right ?

dirty flash = the flash to upgrade right ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Yes flash the ROM and reboot :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] gunslingerfry:
edit: Or just do what ggow says :P Apparently I didn't read the faq either.

I looked into this and there's an xposed module that will work (*almost) perfectly. Xposed Additions Pro. It lets you remap any of the hardware buttons and lets you set conditions. So on my device I just remapped the camera button to launch my camera. Then if I'm in the camera app, I remap it back to the camera action. While the display is off is more difficult than I want to research. Xposed Additions doesn't allow two actions in sequence for a button press. Tasker/Secure Settings doesn't appear to be able to turn the display on. If someone figures that out, let me know. (I'm on slimkat)
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Recommended Gapps Packages has Changed

- Open Gapps is now recommended in the OP going forward
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
OK. Thanks for clarifying. I thought I had imagined it was pico with earlier builds. So since most of us have pico, should we flash clean system partition then dirty flash update and open gapps?

Sorry. I was never 100% certain what clean system zip did exactly. If I use it can I just update the normal way ? (Flash cleansystem, Flash update.zip, flash open gapps) and if so would I need to reflash su? Thanks.

Edit--and for the download we want arm, 4.4, mini?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- To update to Open Gapps from Pico Gapps

- Flash the Open Gapps Package you want

- If google play store doesn't connect then:

- Go to Settings -> Accounts (1)

- From here remove your google account -> reboot

- Then add your google account again

- All should be good
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Great. So treat it like a normal dirty flash with the added step of flashing a gapps package. And I just read the op already indicates which gapps to download. I missed that earlier.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
That's correct on all points :)

I've seen people complaining about their wifi not working properly and I have had the same issue in the past (was solved with a clean install).

Today I flashed with the 9/16 release and the new google apps and I had the same problem as before. My wifi speeds were .15 Mbps on speed tests.

I logged into my router and made it N only (no b,g, etc) and even though I could see the SSID I couldn't connect to it.

I flashed again using the partition cleaner and my problem went away. I now have good wifi speeds again.

Not sure what the problem was but I hope this will help someone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jkenny23:
I've got an issue where the phone is auto-answering phone calls. At first I thought it was just on Bluetooth hands free but it's all the time, I'm using the update from 9/17, same issue, anyone seen this before?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Never seen this issue myself

- Have you tried a factory reset from Safestrap to see if that clears the problem?
[Amazon Fire Phone] kramttocs:
I dirty flashed the latest 9/16 version over the old 9/16 version with the new gapps. The clock app wouldn't open and neither would tasker. The camera hardware button also wouldn't open anything and since I only had Open Camera installed I was never asked for a default. Anyone else seeing any of this?

I am getting ready to do a clean flash but what is this partition cleaner mentioned above and should I use it first?
[Amazon Fire Phone] jkenny23:
No change unfortunately, I think I may try going back to stock or slimkat to see if it still does it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kramttocs:
For the clean flash I used the micro gapps and installed google's clock. Works fine now. Haven't tried Tasker yet but the camera button still isn't working. I can access Open Camera from the lock screen by sliding to the left but the hardware button does nothing.

Stars appear on certain screens

For awhile now Ive noticed this. Certain apps and wallpapers (usually darker ones) will have little white dots appear, get brighter then fade away. The whole cycle lasts no more than 2 seconds, enough for me to capture screen shots but for some reason i cant upload the images right now. Ill try again tonite with my computer. It occurred to me they look very similar to firefly (that thing on fire phone i never played with). Youd think theyd show up on any dark screen but its not the case.

Is firefly built in to the hardware? Im nearly convinced im seeing an ever so subtle, laggy demo of that but maybe someone will explain how thats not possible. A screenshot only shows a few vibrant and dull white specks but in real time you see how they grow brighter before fading.

i think that bugs should be listed more detailed:

front facing camera does not work well, if i want to take a selfie it crash. video camera also does not work equal it will crash. I had to install Google Camera and Open Camera in order to have both selfie and video options working, With Google Camera i take selfies and with Open Camera i record videos, As the guy talking about the scren off in calls is true, i don't have a screen protector and it has this behaivour, also as i mentioned there is kind of lag when i try to dial a number i have to do twice, it doesn't show up right away. The same goes when i am calling for example my carrier and i have to dial on the IVR i have to dial twice in order to get the dial keypad. I didn't have Google play crash.

Another thing that i notice was setting a wallpaper as screensaver does not fit in the middle or correctly i had to use Quick Pic and the option 768x1280 because with the stock gallery wallpapers are like aside of the middle

At this time we haven't announced any specific plans on updating the Fire Phone to our new OS 5. Any announcements along these lines would be made on our website, particularly the software update Help page for the Fire Phone (http://amzn.to/1MH2E8r).

Thank you for shopping with us.

[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Just one question... If we get bootloader unlock can we port CM 12 or do we need Fire OS 5 also?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
You guys think Jeff Bezos was aware of this inquiry?

Yes. Through others talents fire phone could run Cm12 if we have unlocked bootloader (no fire OS needed.)

My kindle fire has a locked bootloader but a developer was able to get a second bootloader to load and my device has run CM 10, 11, and 12.1 I believe it's the same developer who created safe strap.
