Assuming you have both the correct Amazon USB driver and the ADB driver installed. If you are not sure, here's a super simple ADB installer (I used it many times, on a VM as well, works great).

And assuming, you're using Win 8.1 or Win 7, not Win 10, I can't vouch for 10. Please use a USB 2.0 port, not USB 3.0, just to be sure.

Power off your device.

Connect device to PC & boot in recovery: PWR + VOL. UP (hold both buttons until recovery screen appears).

From the list, choose "Apply update from ADB".

Open the device manager on your PC while your phone is connected in recovery mode.

Look for its entry in the device list.

Remove / Deinstall the device.

Then "scan for hardware changes":

The device should appear in list the again, it will install the needed driver automatically (best case scenario)

or

you will have to update the device drivers manually:

If everything worked as planned, it should look like this: next to your device name, it will say "sideload".

Test it with typing "adb devices" in the cmd.

If it doesn't work after that, then maybe, just maybe, you really...are...an...idiot. ;) Nah, don't beat yourself up, you'll be successful sooner or later. :good:

In an effort to keep the ROM lean(er)

- I removed the stock camera because on our device it is severely broken, was going to fix this then add it back.

- Removed stock browser as most people use Chrome or Firefox

- Removed the stock calendar because the google calendar seems a better choice.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] , thanks for the update. Getting apps crashing though. Youtube, Nhl, Antennapod. Flashed zip and wiped dalvik/cache. Not sure what the issue is. Happens when watching videos and occasionally when listening to audio.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Post a logcat and I'll take a look
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
I had this problem with YouTube, too (after flashing LineageOS, OpenGapps pico and SuperSU). Then I re-installed a backup of YT I made with Titanium Backup last week and it just works (although it was the same version, not a downgrade).

YouTube was force-closed a few times after (never during) watching a video. No other problems so far.

[Amazon Fire Phone] :
See an update next page

I've seen the same thing recently.

Did a default wipe in twrp and re-install of lineage os here - no change

Followed the root advice here - improvement (but not perfect. Also took the entire process to see an improvement)

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-how-to-callibrate-battery-device-t3308554

default wipe in twrp and re-install of stock rom + all updates

Needs another month of testing but it seems to be fixed. The battery seems to be going down smoothly (before it was everytime and highly noticeable going from 50% to 20% during use, etc.) - though the battery stats are garbage with the stock rom.

If its still fine in a month, I will try the Lineage OS twrp backup and see what happens.

Bought a Samsung A7 2017 anyway. Way better than the Fire Phone =)

Here is the logcat you requested. Main issues are Youtube force-close while watching or attempting to watch video. I have the NHL hockey app having an issue with video playback where it'll force close or be very choppy. This is the Feb 24 build of LineageOs 11 for fire phone. Previous build version has no issues.Thanks again for your time ggow. See below for logcat.

Rom random rebooting while on LTE. Switching to 3G does the work. Any help?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
An update on the battery issues encountered:

Went back to stock rom and have been letting it sit. Its currently at 4d 19h 56m on battery and showing 14% left at the moment (it has no sim card and no apps draining the battery in the background if you need to know how to get that amount of time =)

While its currently at 4d and 19 hours, did use it quickly yesterday while checking battery stats and the battery percentage did still jump around from 17% 4d 9h 43m to 31% 4d 9h 49m then to 42% 4d 11h 19m.

So the problem wasn't fixed by any software or discharge/charge battery tricks. I do want to try a different charger next and see if that has any effect. Its the last thing I can think of before putting it down as a hardware problem.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
U can find a new battery on aliexpress, just search amazon fire phone battery and u will find 10-20$ new
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Already bought a Samsung A7 so that was discounted by the 10-20$ if you will which is far better. Highly recommended =)

On a further note, the Fire phone is sitting at 3% now after 8d 2h 2m on time since last battery charge (no sim, no bg apps, wifi enabled) so the battery is working alright technically. Just that it jumps around.

I'd rather stick with the A7, though the Fire phone would be different if it had Nougat or Oreo and less rom problems than it has. It really bugs me that it can't be updated to a newer version or fixed. Its now a development only device so it will have its use for me still until Kitkat is no longer supported by any apps I work on.

[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Big thanks to the Dev ggow first off , cheers .

My Mam inherited my Firephone 2 years ago and she has just gone back to an old school phone so I have the fire phone back in my possession :).

Its rocking Cyanogenmod and seems super fast to me so I might use it as my main phone again .

Couple of questions ,

can I just update from Cyanogenmod to Lineage ?

What if any would be the disadvantages of using this compared to a newer phone and OS ,

Thanks in advance for help .
[Amazon Fire Phone] Anyhuman86:
Hi all,

first off, thanks to the creator of this cm :)

Secondly, which gapps should I install? ARM64 and 4.4, right?

And, lastly, does the snap camera app fix the HDR issue or just the flash and exposure?

Thanking you,

WIFI issues with Fritzbox 7950

Hi community,

thanks for providing this great ROM.

However after changing my router to a Fritzbox 7950 on FW 6.92 (also tried a recent beta, no change) The Firephone on the recent LineageOS or Slimkat does not connect to the Wifi anymore :(

The phone sees all wireless networks when on region "Europe" or "Germany" and on frequency 2.4GHz or on "auto", but does not connect .....

It also does not see any 5GHz networks even though there are some in the neighborhood as well as on my router.

Interestingly the phone nicely connects to the guest Wifi at my work place. And it properly connected to the same router on the stock rom.

Has anybody else experienced this and is a workaround/fix available? Are there any known incompatibilities with AVM Fritzbox routers ?

Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Idk about AVM Fritzbox. But i should tell u 1 thing about 5ghz networks used by fire phone. The router must be set to work on bands(channel) lower than 42 on 5ghz because fire phone doesn't get network when channel(bands) is higher than 42 or 44, idk, but sure must be set to work lower than 42! 2.4ghz works like a charm in my fire phone. On 5ghz i get some intreruptions(idk if it is from router or phone).

You can search how to change router working channels on google.

---------- Post added at 19:07 ---------- Previous post was at 19:06 ----------

@ggow we should expect for some new updates about instagram camera? Superzoom, boomerang effects works on stock FireOs( try boomerang app, app quits on lineage)
[Amazon Fire Phone] kurti500:
thanks for the comment 5GHz was just a side note, I would already be happy if the Firephone would connect to my 2,4GHz :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
My experience is the Fire Phone doesn't play nice with Channel bonding. I"m not familiar with your particular router, but in the setup menu, try making sure channel bonding is off, reduce the bandwidth from 40 to 20, reduce the maximum throughput mode, etc.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Sniff26:
Hey, ggov, any chance that you will fix that lte random reboot bug? On other roms there isnt this issue.. Because that im stuck with slimkat and i miss the theme manager of cm11 and the customization of it :crying:
[Amazon Fire Phone] kurti500:
Tried all available settings of my router, unfortunately no luck, I am still not able to connect to Wifi on my Fritzbox 7950. Its a pity, but I'll give up at this stage.

Thanks for your support!
[Amazon Fire Phone] lh94:
Do apps that use the phone camera like Google Duo, Skype, Snap etc. work well on the stock Fire OS? I recently lost my main phone and am using my old Fire phone with CM11. I use Duo/Skype and I'm considering going back to stock if those apps don't work on CM. (it's been a while since I used my Fire phone so i cant recall if they ever worked on stock). Thanks in advance.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LoveScarGuitar:
Can confirm duo works on stock, but for me it crashed on custom ROMs due to the already present camera issues in the custom ROMs. It takes a while to get use to but I am running on stock. The only downside is battery life sucks (no pun intended).
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Also i can say that in Stock Fire Os, camera works better, but videos on instagram and wapp just try to load continously. But i prefer Stock rom for camera compatibility! In stock rom battery is the downside because of amazon bloatware!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I have no way of replicating the issue, and logs provided so far have not contained enough information to help fix this.

[Amazon Fire Phone] schmongo:
Still getting frequent app crashes like on the previous version.. Something went wrong with your last two updates!

Media apps crash a lot: youtube and twitch almost instantly when viewing videos and music apps like spotify after a while of listening.

Thanks for the update but i had to revert to version 20171008 again :/
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
I have the same issues as you do. I'm on the the older build as well. I posted a logcat a while back but no response. Maybe you could post one.
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
I can confirm this issue: with both the 20180224 and the 20180601 version, the Youtube app crashes either immediately or after running for a few minutes. I created logcats for both versions: https://pastebin.com/9D6uCBMm and https://pastebin.com/7n557w3.

In contrast, I was unable to crash Youtube with the 20171008 version.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonkplonk:
Sometimes I notice this as well when opening a video, but bever during watching one. But it always works with the second or third attempt.

It seems to make a difference whether I tap on the preview picture or the text below it (this works more often)

Thanks, ggow, for your continued support - I just sent you a donation.

Out of curiosity: I thought there were no more security updates for KitKat? This is a welcome surprise!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Looks like there has been some work done to backport some of the fixes. So the relevant ones have been included.

My next thing will be to address the very vulnerable default aosp applications like the browser, messaging ssl etc.

Will probably retire some of them, the replacements will need to come from open source.

Let me know if the youtube problem is fixed for you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Ggow, sorry about this, but i can't understand why in lineage, "Boomerang from Instagram"(in play store name" ") doesn't work and in FireOs without a problem. Boomerang efects are very cool, that's why I don't use LineageOs but your work is the greatest, and Pipataki disappearance confirms this! The bug is....camera stopped working or the app close, i can't remember
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I don't have an instagram account to test this. However any app that uses the camera uses amazons camera proprietary stuff which works fine in FireOS. Lineage on the other hand cannot make full use of amazon's proprietary libs and so will experience crashes with certain apps in various degrees.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Hi ggow! You don't need an instagram account or anything else, just simply download from playstore and will work, it is like a camera app. I can't explain why error occurs, also i remember that "Boomerang from instagram" worked like a charm 1.5years ago, when this ROM was called CM. I hope u can fix it, or at least, please keep me updated here. Have a nice day/evening!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I'll take a look, if it worked before then it's very likely an upstream commit to the media framework broke it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
Yes, i believe this is the problem because i was using this app and i still use it, now on stock FireOs 4.6.6.1. Thanks for keeping me updated!
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
I played a few Youtube videos and couldn't get it to crash, so it looks good.

I noted that there is no more haptic feedback (vibration), but this seems to be a somewhat common and possibly intermittent problem with the Fire Phone; it also is manifest already on the Safestrap menu, so I assume its an issue with my phone hardware and not the ROM.

By the way, device encryption has been working fine for me for a year now. The only limitation is that to install a new ROM, I have to "adb push" it from a PC to the cache partition and install it from there, since the recovery is not able to mount the encrypted data or internal storage partitions.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KalROFL:
Yeah, at the time I posted that she was on T-Mobile.

Edit: sorry, didn't realize I'm replying to a year old post.
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
The phone seems to be bulging at the sides and does not lie flush on the table any more (i.e., it wobbles). I'm afraid the battery has gone bad. Waiting for a T3 screwdriver to open the phone and check.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ipdev:
Be careful of opening, depending on how bad the battery is, it may start ballooning more as the pressure is released.

I had it happen on a couple different devices and thankfully, there was enough give that nothing was broken. Save for screw tab on one, a plastic tab and a slightly bent screen on another.

I haven't had one of these apart yet. I do not know how forgiving the case is but, I would definitely get the case open and battery out as soon as you can. Try to hold similar pressure on the battery when opening the case, until you get it fully exposed.

As far as a new battery, it's up to you if you want to replace it. Personally I would upgrade to something better than the original. Just do a little homework on replacement batteries and select the one that best.

Note:

I'm not sure why there is a fascination with OEM batteries.

If it is OEM than it is probably OLD and is the same as the one you are replacing. Unless there is no better option, I doubt it, then a new non-oem battery is probably the better choice.
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
Thanks for the advice. I have a T3 screwdriver on order, if I find anything of interest I'll report on the General thread.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ricjames761:
awesome rom, does really good on battery & stable as all hell...

I swaped out some apps that some might like to try-for the launcher I installed "Evie" launcher. For my contacts/messaging/dialer i dropped in "contacts+". And for keyboard I installed "Huge Keyboard". If nothing else I highly recommend replacing the stock keyboard with huge keyboard.... just my thoughts

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] can u please take in consideration for next update my feedback about camera in latest updates of lineage? How I said a few post ago, boomerang camera stopped working since the rom changed name from cm to lineage. And you said that is something in framework
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I am still looking into this. It's going to take some effort to track down what specifically broke it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Melancholy Sky:
Gotta say, I'm really damn happy with this just sorted it today and honestly everything is working amazingly so much better than the stock os, I used to use nova launcher on top of it but things were getting a bit slow so this has helped a lot.

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No I haven't been able to fix it yet.

Can you tell me which version of the ROM was working with boomerang?

Might help me locate the problem quicker.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
I remember when your rom was named CM it was working flawlessly...but after Lineage rename it was going crazy the boomerang camera app

Also right now, in fire os 4.6.6.1 the boomerang works very good and instagram app, in instagram camera the flash doesn t work well(also in whats app camera) but is alright. I must say also that in lineage, instagram videos runs well, but in fire os, with sound they infinitely loading, if sound is muted videos plays well

Recently I'm building Lineage 11 for Atrix 2 and came across xposed incompatibilities. I try to google search but found this thread instead. Maybe because your thread is the only one that has the word Lineage 11 and xposed.

May I know if xposed is working on your ROM? If yes, how did you make it? I try to search this thread but only found xposed related replies that dated back to 2017.

First of thanks to ggow for this wonderful OS.

Took out my fire phone after not using it for a year. Running fine on stock. Loaded the latest lineage OS, everything went fine but phone keeps restarting randomly. Tried last two images of lineage OS with same problem. Tried fire nexus os (even though old) as well and had the same issue. However back on stock it is working fine with no reboots. I would like to keep the phone on lineage OS and any suggestions to solve the restarting issues will be appreciated. Thanks
