[Amazon Fire Phone] comdx:
thank you for the update.

on one of my fire phones i get error SU BINARY OCCUPIED after latest update and all my apps that need root privileges do not work.

i reflashed supersu and than updated it to make it work again.

on both of my fire phones i had to reinstall xposed framework to make gravitybox work again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Dudepunk:
Is this link the only way to submit a bug report? There doesn't seem to be anything on this page, or maybe I'm missing something? I'm having an issue where the phone will intermittently reboot (I've recently changed the battery out like someone suggested a few pages back too), and I'd like to include a logcat with my bug report. I'm pretty sure the reason has something to do with losing an LTE service when traveling through areas, as when I switch it to 3G it never encounters this problem.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dskauToDavid:
Thanks for all! This is a great job!

But since I upgraded from CM11 to the latest version of LineageOS I can't change any contact's profile picture.

Do you have any idea why that happens?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I don't know why that's happening. Will look into it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dskauToDavid:
Microphone doesn't work during calls.

I thought that the image problems of the contacts and the microphone were due to some Xposed modules that I had installed, so I performed a Factory reset via Safestrap but the problems persist.

Thanks for your interest.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Did you install into the stock slot on safestrap?
[Amazon Fire Phone] dskauToDavid:
A problem solved

I installed the Xposed Installer from the link apk and some modules also from an apk.

Are you asking where the OS is installed? I only updated the CianogenMod I had, so I'm not sure of the OS location, how can I find out?

By the way, I already solved the contact's picture problem by disabling the stock gallery.

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Try removing the SIM unlock pin on another device then try on Fire Phone again. There may be a problem with the this ROM's interface vs Fire Phone RIL interface.

Hi! What is the purpose of downloading Gapps? I tried using Gmail app and it said I had to update Google Play Services, so I did. It also updated Gmail to latest version from Play Store. Gmail app seems slow but it seems to still work. Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Jz5678910:
Gapps gives you the Google play store and all the dependencies you need to use it. Depending on the package you pick, you might get extra Google apps, and then they just get updated like normal.
[Amazon Fire Phone] fm219:
Anyone tried Google Fi?

Hi,

Has anyone tried using a SIM card for Google Fi (formerly known as Project Fi)? I think they use T-Mobile, Sprint, and US cellular networks. My Fire phone was for AT&T. It now has the May 2019 version of LineageOS from this thread.

Google Fi website says you need at least Android version 7. But I don’t really care about automatic switching of carriers, WiFi calling, or even voice calls or SMS. I just want to use the phone as a hotspot when I travel abroad, since Google Fi has almost free global roaming. Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] TheTrueHarrower:
Encryption working fine for me

Hi, I've been running this ROM on my Amazon fire phone since 2017 I believe. I just wanted to report that encryption has worked fine for me and I used this phone as my main driver for over a year. I don't know if this is typical, but the recovery can only read Cache and so when I update I have to transfer the latest ROM to the Cache partition using a root explorer and then flash from cache. I may try to un-do the encryption if I have any issues, but it seems to be running really well right now so for now I am leaving it alone. Thanks for the great ROM!
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Any new patches coming up for us ggow? Thanks for what you've done here by the way.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes, there will be. Just getting up to speed with it all again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] DaMarco:
New release with latest security patches

Hi ggow,

could you be so kind and build and release a new image of your great LineageOS 11 for Fire Phone with latest security patches, please?

I´m using my Fire Phone sinze a long time with your LineagueOS Build but now it would be good to have newer security patches as that from May 2019.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards from Germany/Bavaria

Marco
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Post above.. He will be working on it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Thanks ggow. I've been getting echoing in calls. I can hear the person fine but there's echo on their end. I use Google Voice, FB messenger and Whatsapp. All the same issues. I do have Viper4android installed and thought that was the issue, however it makes no difference whether on or off.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Guttergorm:
Thanks! button not working here, I just wanted to say thank you for your great work [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]. I use your Fire phone and Fire tablet ROMs. Without your effort, they would have been unusable in my family. Thanks a lot!
[Amazon Fire Phone] sufi g:
There no charging led option in this rom. I tried different apps from playstore but they are closing. I want to enable led notification light when screen off on charging. Please help
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Fixed at last .

Returned to this issue after a year and the solution was simple , texted the original mobile phone network operator the details and they provided a sim unlock pin , thanks for the help and the great development on this , cheers.

How do I update my fire phone which is running cm11 android 4.4.4 kitkat to the lates

How do I update my fire phone which is running cm11 android 4.4.4 kitkat to the latest security patch without losing any data or app progress (game progress)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Guttergorm:
EDIT: won't work, migrate needs Android 5.0+, so your stuck to backup via Safestrap and then trying a dirty flash

1. Make a full backup using Safestrap

2. Use Migrate to backup apps, contacts etc. https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool-t3862763

3 Test the backup (Safestrap and Migrate)

4. Try a dirty flash with current Lineage.

If it does not work as expected regarding your apps or Lineage:

5. Full wipe

6. Install current Lineage

7. Use Migrate to restore apps
[Amazon Fire Phone] Skeeterdrums:
I'm a big fan of titanium, which will at least restore app data and settings between updates. I usually try dirty flashing the new version after taking a backup in titanium, then pulling the backup data down to my computer. A recovery backup is never a bad idea either.
[Amazon Fire Phone] curtishunter:
Mr Chef ggow,

Thank you for the awesome meal. It is tasty.

One question... Is it possible to add the latest security patch to the rom? (Sorry, I don't know how to code... I am just a "semi advance" user) Just found a fire phone in my collection. (almost new :eek:) And I started to play with it... and I want to test how could it function as a daily.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I've been looking into this. Mostly the latest patches are not relevant to KitKat at all.

However security or not the current ROM is still very usable.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
You've given us a lot with this over the years. Unfortunately many apps are not compatible with the device now . Require minimum of 5.0+. Another option is APKmirror and download older versions of some apps. It's a secondary device for me but want to use it until it conks out.. lol..
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Its such a shame about these phones not been unlockable at least by anyone so far. They would have been so good with nougat+.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
Yes, it is. I did some looking around and there's still quite a bit out there that'll make our device still useable for the foreseeable future.

XDA has plenty of Apps that are 4.0+, F-Droid, Google Play but most definitely APKmirror. I was able to find older versions of every GP app that I wanted and they also offer some no longer offered on the play store. All APKs ( they don't allow cracked or pirated) are verified with SHA crytosignatures and MD5 hashes. I've never been big on alternative sites but this one is owned by Android Police so I feel secure as much as I do with XDA.

Just some info for others looking for their favorite app on GP and can't find or install it because of the API version. Thankfully you still support the device with security updates when they apply. :good::good::good: Thanks ggow.
[Amazon Fire Phone] maverick9611:
any new patches? mine is still goin strong

It's been a *long* time since I flashed LineageOS to this phone and with it's unique Safestrap setup, I'm honestly not quite sure how to go back to stock. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

[Amazon Fire Phone] seraj2000:
still no Android 5?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No, and there won't be.
[Amazon Fire Phone] seraj2000:
I see, care to explain why. I remember in 2015 amazon was working on Android 5. too bad. they should have at least released the bootloader.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
We need an unlocked bootloader for this to happen. Amazon are not going to release android 5 or any other updates for this phone. This has become clear. I agree it would have been great if they would have unlocked the bootloader at least.
[Amazon Fire Phone] nismo87:

Sorry for asking, did you (or any of you guys) get to test calls and SMS?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Did your phone show the correct baseband?

- I was able to enable Bluetooth and pair to a keyboard
[Amazon Fire Phone] wildgunman:
Basebandversion: unknown
[Amazon Fire Phone] hastings101:
This is awesome, great work ggow! For anyone wondering, on my unlocked Fire Phone SMS/calls are working perfectly, LTE, sound, games, and bluetooth are fine. The UI has stuttered a little in use, but I think that's just CM or Android being themselves. No Youtube, but not a big deal on a phone.

Edit: Camera is a little buggy too using Google camera. It can freeze up
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
[MENTION=2463156]wildgunman[/MENTION] Could you post a bug report, with links to logs for bootup on pastebin.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
got cm installed is working great at this stage. my unlocked fire phone i have tried a giffgaff, 02 and 3 sim all works and i can make calls and send texts without any problems. :good: job :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
One more thing, how are the hardware buttons behaving? Are all of them working?

I'll flash the ROM in a couple hours anyways, just want to know what to expect :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] hastings101:
They all work except for the camera button. It will probably work, I'm just not sure how to map it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] wjchen0:
NFC seems not work?
[Amazon Fire Phone] CommunistDroid:
so far

wifi works

play store works

apps work

wicked fast(as expected from snapdragon800+2gigs of ram)

pics from google camera dont look half bad

install was relatively painless(the backup was almost 5gigs)

both google now launcher and trubuchet were unstable/slow so i installed nova launcher from the play store and it works fine
[Amazon Fire Phone] wildgunman:
what for Logs do you need ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Hi wildgunman, I'm at work right now.

I have messaged Moscow Desire (one of the Kindle HDX moderators) to ask about creating a separate dev forum for the 4th gen Fire HDX 8.9. Will prevent clogging up the other forums. I can begin working on it this evening.
[Amazon Fire Phone] simplesimonuk:
Well after a battle of whits on my macbook pro I finally got ADB to see the device!

Flashed Rom, all working so SO SO happy to not be running Fire OS also more excited that I can finally play about with the phone!

Cheers buddy, I look forward to other releases :D

Bug Reports

- I'm working on multiple devices/projects

- Could you log any bug reports in the bugs section of this thread.

- When I come to make newer versions I will be referring to it.

- Will also make things easier to track and not get lost deep in the discussion thread.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Update

Video rendering fixed :D

- Netflix working

- Youtube working

EDIT: I'll do another release this evening.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Download: Play Store (Minimal_signed)

Please visit the OP to download the most suitable GAPPS.
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
Congrats again, i'll wait for this evening's release.

Super excited to test it, will report bugs and good stuff haha :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Am I the only one getting random crashes on Google Play Services?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Not one so far, I tried the HDX GAPPS package once but it was just too much google garbage I don't need, Play services was stable though.

I reverted to CM11 without GAPPS, tried the minimum Play Store / services just for testing, have them on the device for more than 12 hours (did ~ 3 reboots during that time on purpose).

If you experimented with different version of the Play services / framework, it would be wise to clear the data or delete those apps altogether and start over clean.

(If you had the GAPPS already installed and then installed the apps from my archive, I guarantee you will run into problems)
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- That's odd

- I'm using google maps etc, seems fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
Okay no problems. Rebooting got it working again.

Should've done that cat tho... Now i won't know what the problem was :P
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hele!:
This is looking great! Thanks for your great job!
[Amazon Fire Phone] veti:
does the original fire phone camera app work? maybe that would be a workaround.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
That question has already been answered.

If the original app would run without problems, don't you think that would be the first choice to use and had been done already?
[Amazon Fire Phone] keinam.ty:
Should the camera button be launching camera app? On my phone I only feel hepatic feedback when holding it. It does take a pic after the camera is launched though....

And thanks very much for putting this together! I was looking for a smaller phone without luck, and this ROM make it possible.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mhill1986:
Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the long and detailed reply. I never was able to get my phone discovered by windows (8.1)--totally maddening. I direct it straight to the folders with the supposed Fire Phone drivers, but it still won't do it. Fortunately, I was able to do the adb sideload on my wife's MAC! I'm back in business, thankfully. Wish I could figure out why my PC isn't able to install the drivers, but oh well. That's probably a topic for another thread.

Thanks again!

Love this, loaded it on my AT&T branded Fire Phone and worked perfectly. The only issues I am experiencing is that all my SMS messages fail to send. I can receive SMS messages just fine though. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Working camera apps?

Has anyone found a working camera app besides f5 and open camera? As I've all too well documented, open cam isn't working for me. I was slowly warming up to f5 then this morning I went to take a quick pic of me and my son (he turned 2 today) and couldn't find front camera. Quick search & it turns out this isn't an available feature for f5 app. I thought every camera app had this...thanks in advance

Btw--found a pretty cool app for those using nova launcher. Its called "Suru for android" and its free in play store. Basically if you like the look of Ubuntu (wallpaper,icons) it themes it in that style. I like the stock so I have no screenshots but I might try it later.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Baconrind:
Mtp

Have you checked settings - storage -the little icon in top right corner that looks like three dots - USB connection . make sure MTP is ticked . I did that and it recognised my fire on windows 10

Bacon
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Actually, there's a way to use the front camera in F5. Just swipe from the top of the screen :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Hmmm...not working for me. I'm using 1.78. What version do you have?
[Amazon Fire Phone] nokkty:
I re-flashed and checked the SMS service as I install each app. Apparently setting up the CM11 Voice+ service caused the issue. I disabled it and SMS is working correctly now. :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
2.76.1, paid version
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Oh. That's probably why. What's it like 5 bucks? With my luck I'll use it once and there'll be a fix. But thanks for the info!
[Amazon Fire Phone] youngboy12:
damn thanks i feel so dumb now :D
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
I had bought it before. My brother is studying professional photography, so it's not a waste :)

But for the free version, update 2.61 gave frontal camera access. Give it a check.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jd999uk:
I'm on the latest version of FV-5 too.

Camera FV-5 works on both front and back camera's providing you don't mess with the shutter settings. Under FireOS, the shutter was able to be set from 0.1 to 60 secs but not currently useable here. Hopefully when the whole framework for the API is resolved, this will become useable again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] king200:
Is there a file to edit that will permit increased in call volume. I am hard of hearing so I would like the earpiece and speaker to be louder. Also, when I put the wired headset in, volume is ok and callers report that my voice is louder too.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
The speakers (voice and media) are handled by a Tfa9887 chip which has special config files that can't be edited. At least I do not know how they should be edited to achieve what you need. There is no documentation for this that I can find at the moment.

Look at /system/etc/audio, it contains the config files there.
[Amazon Fire Phone] rompip:
Dears,

thanks for the great work. I do have a locked fire phone. I assume that flashing CM11 doesn't give me the ability to unlock the phone, am I right?

Thanks

Rompip
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Right, you'd need an unlock code anyway.
[Amazon Fire Phone] rompip:
Thanks for your response. If I anyhow flash CM11, will the unlock process be available there too or will I have to go back to stock OS?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Yes. Fv5 lite front cam works. Since you know a little about cameras...I noticed image res on pro is 4208x3120 (13.1 mp) while

Fv5 lite is 640x480 (0.3 mp)

That seems like quite the downgrade but our phone is incapable of that res (4208x3120) but seems it can do a lot better than 640x480)

I am happy front facing cam is there. Thanks!

So no ones found another app? All the ones I've tried have major issues.

[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
Just found a camera that works great(aside from the fact that it's UPSIDE DOWN lol).

Y'all probably know the One Plus right? So, its camera app is amazing. Took really great pics.

From my testing i can say that Front Camera is working normally, which means it's not upside down. While rear camera takes really fast shots without the dark lighting thing that was going on with Open Camera, but has that little problem...(upside down)

Video really impressed me, i think it's because i was using the torch while filming for the first time but image quality is gorgeous but sadly the framerate is low(probably can modify settings to have faster framerates).

Name of the app is CameraNext so google it if you want to try it out. It's easy to find.

EDIT UPDATE: Yup, modifying setting a bit makes framerate fast.
[Amazon Fire Phone] russy23:
