- Yes the camera should launch from a locked screen, it might also be possible to get it to launch from standby

- I'll be looking into both these issues.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jeffreystryker:
Personally, I like using the camera button to unlock my phone. I hated that firefly would always start up when accidently hitting the button. If you fix the camera button, will I be able to disable the feature? Possibly by editing the build.prop file?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- When it's working you should be able to disable any of the key actions from CM settings.
[Amazon Fire Phone] helfrez:
Going to try to dig through some libraries, but any previous encounters with severe over-exposures? Even with Snap Camera, the post-capture image review looks great, but the final image is blown out. Something funky in post-processing maybe?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
It could be something to do with the ov680 processor not receiving the right information. Mismatched structures or something alike.
[Amazon Fire Phone] helfrez:
Seems to be the exposure sticking issue reported in a few places on jira.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/70383/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/70384/

Will add a bug report. Confirmed by taking 2 pictures in a situation where flash should have been used and flash forced. In both instances the exposure was 1/30, and only the iso changed. Exposure looks to be getting stuck.

UPDATE:

I think this is just more of the known flash issues. It gets exacerbated when the object is close, or in low light.

I have a few Questions.....

Hi,

I am new to this website but i am thinking about getting the fire phone but i had a couple question....if someone is nice enough to answer them your help is much appreciated.

Can you map the buttons on the side? I had a ASUS zen phone 2 and hated the power button on top

Will android 5.0 ever come out?(just curios)

If you are using this ROM what kind of battery life do you get?

How easy is the installation process?

What are the major bugs if any at this time?

How peppy is your fire phone my LG G2 randomly broke and i loved the prominence on it hows it compare? LG G2: snapdragon 800 2 gb ram 32gb android 4.4.2

I hear Bluetooth 3.0 is a problem...is it?

Thanks for your help and dev.:)
[Amazon Fire Phone] helfrez:
Doesn't seem to allow anonymous reports, only registered users. I can host a bugzilla or flyspray bug tracker for you if needed. PM me if interested, I can spin something up on a subdomain. I know Flyspray supports anonymous control per project.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KJSTRIPE:
EDIT:

Noticed a bunch of spelling errors sorry don't know how to edit
[Amazon Fire Phone] helfrez:
Please read through the first post an all comments. Most of your questions are addressed there or in multiple threads in the Help forum. Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- dammit I thought I had logged out when I filed the report.

- does bugzilla allow guests to report bugs? Only used it authenticated.
[Amazon Fire Phone] helfrez:
I meant Mantis, but Flyspray is the only one I know of off the top of my head that does. Bugzilla requires it as well. But if you want to pick out somewhere just let me know I can set it up. I have lots of hosting accounts and servers scattered about the net with low utilization. Just let me know what you want to use.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Thanks, I appreciate that help :)

- I think mantis is nice

- Could you setup a mantis for us to use?

- I was thinking about anonymous issue logging only to make it easier for everyone. However if the general consensus is that people here don't mind registering then I'm happy for that too.

Blurtooth Issues anyone?

GGOW! Thanks for giving us this gift, This ROM is very stable.

Did anyone notice bluetooth issues with 08/10 release? I can talk over the phone ok but when I talk over bluetooth, person at the other end do not hear me properly.
[Amazon Fire Phone] connellr:
I've used bluetooth without any issues at all. I could hear and be heard. Wish I could provide more insight on your issue, but I don't believe its a problem w/ the build.
[Amazon Fire Phone] theandrewgordon:
Hey! Still looking for thoughts on the echo created by Google hangout! Even when using bluetooth... Thanks! Also why the flash always seems to be full bright, white washing whenever it's used
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- for the echo I'm not sure at the moment. Could be something to do with the noise cancellation mic not working as expected?

- the flash is a known problem to do with probably exposure and other general camera issues.
[Amazon Fire Phone] theandrewgordon:
Awesome... I searched your suggestion regarding noise cancellation And it worked! It was from a nexus 5 forum. Requires root:

"I fixed it for myself by editing build.prop.

I changed persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true to false.

That disabled the noise cancellation for normal calls.“
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- So with that setting do normal voice calls and hangout calls seem to work OK now?
[Amazon Fire Phone] white_devil:
Bump. This ROM has been awesome on my son's phone, and he loves it. I was just wondering if it looks like the camera will work with Snapchat at some point.
[Amazon Fire Phone] theandrewgordon:
Correct. Works fine regular call. Speaker phone. And hangout call
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I am sure it will but as stated before the problem is complicated.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Great, I'll include this in the next build

- Good researching :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] theandrewgordon:
Update... I tried hangouts again with my wife's phone to mine. It gave some crazy feedback and we were a couple rooms apart... So I'm not sure it helped at all.

Google Play store crashing on the 8/10 build

I did a dirty upgrade from the July build to the 8/10 build. I'm using the mini G apps.

Now Google Play store crashes whenever it does an update on an installed app or if I try to install a new app. . I've tried wiping the cache and Dalvik cache. Clearing the Google store data/cache didn't help either. I restored back to the July build and Google store works again. Always backup before upgrading.

Something changed between builds to break Google store with the mini version.
[Amazon Fire Phone] avp387:
Works on 4.6.4 with a few bugs...

Done. Rooted and installed CM11 on 4.6.4. I also unlocked the phone. Here are my observations:

1. Everything works fine. Just some Play services error here and there. Nothing major.

2. NFC does not work (known issue)

3. Snap camera works great, including HDR (although HDR froze in the trial / free version).

4. Wireless AC does not work. I am able to connect to wireless N. AC is not even recognized (always says out of range). Not sure if anybody else encountered this.

5. Camera works on Hangouts and whatsapp.

6. OIS seems to be working.

7. Cannot install Google Calendar from Play store - ID conflict.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
What do you mean in #4? I have an ac router and my fire phone connects. Many of my devices can't connect ac so the router is set to all the protocols.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

I noticed a lot of apps were crashing but play store seemed to function fine. I used the clean system zip and reflashed now everything seems fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Google Play Store seems to be working as well here on my device as it did before

- All I did was Dirty flash ROM and reboot
[Amazon Fire Phone] rsshivs:
I guess the video recording never worked with Google camera. Tried all the previous version ROM with pico gaaps it didnt work either. Installed snap camera and it works just fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Has anybody tried the paid for version of Snap Camera HDR ? And if so does the HDR bit work ?

Cheers
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Yes, HDR doesn't work

- It doesn't matter which app you use, HDR is broken at the moment
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Thanks for the reply :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] helfrez:
Did you ever follow up with Amazon on these? If not we may want to call around. I can't see any reason why not if they released for other platforms. Lab126 is just the internal amazon design group, and it seems whacky to release everything but a part required to actually use the blobs. Is it in the hdx source?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Some of it is in the hdx sources but no not all.

- I sent an email and never got a response.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Rick949:
I did the same. I've done it twice now and both times the same result. The play store crashes whenever it does an app download.

Are you using the mini Google Apps?

Maybe that's my problem?

I followed the guide to install CM11 on my firephone. I think it's just the long version of this one only that it's for newbies. Anyways, when i was in safetrap i did make a back up then install it successfully. Now i want to restore the phone back to Fire Os (want to let the phone go), how do i do that? Could someone post a guide to restore it back to factory setting? Thank you much.

Still having problems with Wireless AC

I have a Simultaneous Dual Band Wireless AC (Asus AC68U). I have 2 networks, one is G/N mixed for all legacy devices and one pure AC on 5 GHz for the new devices that support it. I am having trouble connecting to AC network (5 GHz), which the Fire phone supports (worked on Fire OS 4.6.4 but not on CM11). Wireless G/N on 2.4 GHz networks connects. But on 5 GHz I always get "Not in range", while my laptop is able to connect to AC network on 5 GHz. Is my explanation clear now?

I am stuck

Hi guys,

I have tried to follow the instruction, however, I am not able to flash CM11 as when I access it (via Safestrap) there are folders in it, but I no item I can select to instal it. Once I have wiped the phone via Safestrap I then go to the install button. What am I doing wrong?

Hope anyone can help.
[Amazon Fire Phone] rsshivs:
Check download folder and you should find the CM 11 ROM fle provided by OP (if you have downloaded in your device) select that zip file and flash.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Spach Daddy:
Currently my cell standby is 27% followed by wi-fi at 27%, phone idle at 23% and android at 15%.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Rick949:
Flashed the PA Gapps Pico. That fixed it. Apparently the mini Gapps doesn't like the new build.
[Amazon Fire Phone] JediNuts:
I am brand new to Android, so please bare with me.

I rooted my Fire Phone and used Safestrap to install this build of CM11. I have noticed that sometimes while typing a message in the stock Messaging app, the screen goes dark and the device reboots. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
No I've never had that happen

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Did you flash CM-11 to the stock slot?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Same things been happening to me on &off since the first build in July. Got into the habit of pressing the speaker icon whenever I use the phone. Strangely, it doesn't happen every time but often enough I always press the icon now. I'm using the stock slot.

Update--tested it a few times and now it seems to be consistently working. I have the 8-10 build in stock slot. Maybe try wiping dalvik and cache? I dunno. I did that and its working right now. Might've been working since 8/10 but I mostly text and guess I haven't cared much to test it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] th3rmite:
I was able to install Google Calendar in a much simpler way. I downloaded an old version from APK Mirror and sideloaded it. Any older version will work. Then the Play Store will be able to install the updated version without the ID conflict.
[Amazon Fire Phone] arth_ur:
Try changing the country / region code

Try to edit etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini , using a root enabled file Explorer.

Delete the # in front of the following lne

#gAPCntryCode=USI

and replace USI with EU, JP or any region where those bands are permitted (ideally your location).

It should read :

gAPCntryCode=EU

Save, fix permissions and reboot.

It should work and enable channel 13 on 2.4GHz to, with the right settings, but I don't own an AC router and can't test it.

I signed up to try the OS 5 developer preview for Fire TV stick. Cant do it with the consoles since I'm rooted, unlocked boot loader and custom recovery. Amazon will be giving me an OTA sometime in the next 24 hours. I'm wondering if we can somehow try this with our phone and still keep root and be able to flash CM 11 again? My thinking is not. But figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks.

Update--sorry I just realized it's not available for fire phone yet so this question is a little premature.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
Thanks for the effort, but unfortunately removing the # does not enable the USI 5.8GHz channels (149-161). I appreciate the attempt!
[Amazon Fire Phone] helfrez:
Tinkering with camera stuff, I found the the CamerNext and NextMods DO NOT have the flash bug from most camera. The problem is they have the common upside-down/backwards camera bug from CM. Seems the most promising place to start. It seems to point to some funky readings with the compass and gyro being mirrored, and throwing the sensor off.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Btw. CM has a built in feature to change that: WiFi ➜ Advanced ➜ WiFi Region Code.

But like Plonko pointed out, it's not working across all 802.11xx standards.

Haven't got around to retesting Wifi AC. Meanwhile, I am amazed at how smooth this ROM is. And play store error has reduced. Attached is my AnTuTu score. It is so close to HTC M8, OnePlus One, Asus ZF2, among other top phones. It is borderline insane.

Wifi problem with the last update

Hi, well that is my problem, I can't connect to some wifis (I think the problem is that the wifis I can't connect to uses WPA2-PSK),

I had this same problem when I updated to FIre Os 4.6.1, after installed the CM11 v2015/07/25 the problem was solved, but with the lastest CM11 version the problem is back again.

How can I solve this?

Hey everyone, just bought a Fire Phone tonight, Amazon Deal of the Day @ $159. Very excited! I consider myself to be pretty tech savvy but this will be my first ROM install and am a bit nervous of bricking my phone (not sure if this is even possible without rooting the phone). If anyone is in the Atlanta area or if someone could possibly coach me over the phone that would be greatly appreciated. I will gladly buy someone lunch if they are in the Atlanta area or Paypal someone some dough for their time.

If you could help please PM. Thanks so much!

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I am trying to finalise it as a single tree containing all that is required

- The reason I haven't released yet is am going to try and get official nightly builds so bear with me

- Also you need other things than the device tree

- I had to make changes to the framework due to the fact that we can't change the ramdisk

- Once I have consolidated the changes into the device tree or by submitting patches to Cyanogenmod then I'll release

- If I release now there will be tons of questions on what files to change to enable the build to work, it's extra work that I have't got time for.

- So once again bear with me while I get this all together.

- The important thing is we have a new ROM which works quite well

Instead of OS 4.6.1, I downloaded Fire OS 4.6.3 bin file from amazon.co.uk (http://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazon...update-fire-phone-33.4.6.3_user_463001420.bin) and sideloaded through ADB, it worked like a charm ! :cowboy:
[Amazon Fire Phone] jasonl99:
Just wanted to add a big thank you for creating this...it makes the Fire Phone an absolute joy to use. I can't help but wonder how much more market share Android would have if carriers would stop loading bloat/spyware. For what it's worth, I have mostly the same minor issues as everyone else has already posted.

On thing that might be interesting: the barcode scanner from myfitnesspal (used to enter food) doesn't work (exposure problem) but the one from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android&hl=en does. Also can't take pictures with flash with any camera -- way overexposed (i.e., white screen). Lastly, I am experiencing the occasional Google Play Services has stopped (and it is one of the higher battery users). Glad to provide more details on any of this if you need it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] connellr:
I second the over-exposed flash problem - here is an example of what happens if I try to take a picture with flash - this is actually one of the better examples - generally it is even more white than this (for what its worth - this picture was taken in good light - if it was taken in a dark environment the photo would be nothing but white).
[Amazon Fire Phone] fuelvolts:
Can we change DPI settings on this build? I searched the entire thread and the question was previously asked, but never answered. When I run texdroider dpi, it states that it can't read the current dpi settings, so I don't know what I can safely change it to.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mhill1986:
I rarely use flash, but for those who really need it at times, here is a workaround. I'm using Snap Camera. If you're planning on taking pics in a dark environment with flash, simply (1) turn your exposure compensation to -2 ev, and (2) take ISO off auto and set it to 1600. I've attached a picture without changing these settings (washed out), followed by a picture after I changed these settings. Not ideal convenience-wise, perhaps, but it works like a charm.

(Excuse my ugly mug--just trying to test this out)
