[Amazon Fire Phone] smokarz:
thanks ggow so much for the great work on this rom and safestrap.

i flashed my new Fire phone to CM11 and it was painless. the device runs very smooth.

question: each time i boot up, i see the safestrap disabled screen and either have to wait 10 seconds or hit the continue button to proceed with the boot up proceess. is there anywa to disable this screen? while it's not a show stopper, it's a bit annoying to see the screen each time i reboot.

thanks much!

Anyway to remove the Safestrap screen during boot up?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- From Safestrap App, press the uninstall recovery button

- Done.
[Amazon Fire Phone] smokarz:
Thanks ggow.

So, if I want to upgrade the ROM in the future, just re-install the recovery?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Correct :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Thanks OP. I just picked up my second Fire Phone when it was on sale for $130.00 with the free year of Prime. I figured I'd renew my prime anyways so you can't beat a $30.00 backup phone. I used to use CM on my old P930. This phone was easy to setup with the CM11 you added. Very simple installation. Thank you very much!!!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Armeniandave:
OK so I have an issue that seems strange. When I put the sim card in initially I get T-Mobile LTE but after a few minutes it switches

to invalid sim then no sim. I pop out the sim and I get T-Mobile signal again. Seems I can repeat this over and over. APN settings

show up but then disappear too. Called Amazon and they want to give me a refurbished one so I said no because I've only had this

phone less than 24hrs! Not sure if ROM issue or hardware issue??

I have read through the thread but my issue seems to be a little different than others. Any help I appreciate it! Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] Lei.SHI:
no cellular data

HI,

I flash CM(08/29) to my new fire phone. Everything works fine, except I could not use cellular data.

There is no error msg at all, but if I turn off wifi, I just lose internet.

I can make phone calls no problem. I can registered with ATT, and in LTE mode.

No issue with my SIM card, it works on my iphone 5s.

Do you thinks it is a hardware issue with my fire phone? which means if I covert the OS back to FireOS, still should expect the same cellular data issue?:confused:

THanks,

Lei
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- try going back to fireos

- check data works

- make a note of your app settings from fireos

- reinstall cm11

- enter the app settings noted from fireos

- this solve the issue for someone else here

- also ensure you install cm11 to the stock slot
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Try the instructions on post 1343

- It's unlikely to e a hardware problem
[Amazon Fire Phone] Armeniandave:
I restored back to completely stock but it still shows invalid sim after a few minutes then no sim. When I did install CM11 I made sure to put it in the stock slot. I know there's nothing wrong with these sim card because I'm using it now on my note 4. It's really weird.
[Amazon Fire Phone] yyyoel:
First of all thanks to GGOW for the amazing work.

Until now i dont have any problems with the camera.

But when i tried to use The camera on the web option in whatsapp is trying to scan the QR and it gets stuck
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- first thing is to try and get signal with fireos installed

- if that does work then it's possible the phone is faulty.

- maybe try a different sim, maybe not lining up correctly?

Calendar Issue

Firstly, great work on this ROM; it's really stable and makes the Fire Phone a huge value. Amazon should send you a check for making their phone far more relevant... or at least give you Prime for life.

Almost everything is working properly, but I can't install Google Calendar from the Play Store. When the phone tries to install the the app, I get the the following error:

Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID

I assume this is a result of the stock calendar interfering in some way, and I've tried disabling the stock app, but I still get the same error. Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks for all you're doing for the community.

Mupton0916, Search for, download and sideload the following apk from a mirror site:

com.google.android.calendar-5.2.2-98195638-release-2015071671-minAPI16.apk

Worked for me, and I did not disable the stock calendar app.
[Amazon Fire Phone] arth_ur:
The speaker and mic holes are pretty tiny on the Fire Phone, if you are in dirty places like I am (construction sites), these tend to fill up (it can be pocket lint to) .

You can use a needle to gently pull them out.

This might help.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Viperise152:
Not sure if this should be here or not. I accidently wipe the phone in safestrap and rebooted before installing the rom. I can connect it to my pc with adb. My issue is I can get as far as "adb sideload <filename> it starts sending the bin file but sticks at 7%. any ideas on what I need to do.

CM-11 NFC or CM-12.1 Anytime Soon?

Hey ggow, thanks for "turning a sow's ear into a silk purse". As you know, since AFP Stock doesn't support OTG and your CM-11 doesn't support NFC, there's no way to move/stream files "on-the-go" from a flash drive (or another smartphone) without WiFi, a USB wired connection to a PC, or a expensive WiFi-enabled flashdrive (e.g., SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick). We all know OTG & NFC work like a charm on smartphones running CM12.1; so, like others, I hope you'll fix NFC in CM-11 or build a CM-12.1 for the AFP soon. Thanks again. Regards, Contributor 1234
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
We all know CM12.x needs a different Kernel. Locked bootloader = no new Kernel = No CM12.x

FireOS 5 may (and that's a big may) change that IF it EVER gets released for this device.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Ranhead:
I don’t post much ….. I think it’s wise to read more and talk less.

But I wanted to take the time to give big thanks to ggow and Bingo. I really don’t know how you guys can deal with the repeated questions in this post and other posts. You guys have made this phone fun …. So thank you ….. very much.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Armeniandave:
Yea that's what I did. Reinstalled fireos and made it completely stock.

Put sim card in a got a signal for about two minutes then it goes to

invalid sim and then no sim.

I think the phone is defective but Amazon has no more new phones

and I don't really want a refurbished one.

Oh well but your ROM was great while I could check it out!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] connellr:
I've seen this solution posted on several sites - so I went ahead and ran the command - so far so good - I'll report back in a day or 2

Of note: there is a space in your post in the command "Servic e" should be "Service" probably pretty obvious for most but wanted to point out to save frustration for the novice user.
[Amazon Fire Phone] goosele:
Have the same issue with my ultra.me sim card (which worked perfectly on the iphone5) which did not fit perfectly on the sim card tray probably because it was not precisely cut. Tried another original nano sum (which did not need to be cut) and my phone worked without problems. I think the fire phone is very sensitive to how precisely your nano card is cut. Will get replacement tomorrow and try again. If you find another solution please let me know.

Best,

goosele
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Has anyone been having issues with the stock email client? Gmail won't authenticate as it says it's less secure than their standards. Also, my corporate account just sits on syncing and never shows up. I ended up having to install Outlook for Android in the meantime. Also, I know there are camera issues, but is it possible to set the dedicated camera button to open the default camera app please?
[Amazon Fire Phone] connellr:
I'd recommend downloading and installing the GMail client from Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gm

If you prefer to use the stock email client then you'll need to enable "less secure apps" in your Google Account settings as outlined here:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

Regarding the camera button please see Question #4 on this post for the solution. In my experiance it seems that you may need to have 2 camera apps (Open Camera, and SnapCamera for example) installed to see the prompt asking you which you want to use by default - once set you should be able to remove the second app if not desired. Also - as mentioned previously in this thread the camera button only works when the screen is unlocked (you have to hold it for one second too) ... This may change in the future, but for now its a limitation.

Thanks for the reply. I went to T-Mobile and got a stock nano sim. Works fine on my Note 4 and moto e so I'm pretty sure it works. Also on stock fireos it shows up as LTE for a minute or two then goes to no sim. Pretty convinced at this point it's hardware but I haven't given up totally yet!
[Amazon Fire Phone] gcretro:

Its been 24 hours since I ran this command and with a decent amount of usage haven't seen a single play service crash since . I'm giving this a thumbs up - any chance of baking this into the next build - just having the service disabled by default? Should tick one of the known issues off the list.

[Amazon Fire Phone] Minh.wins:
Hi

I am newbie in these kind of Android thing and i'm willing to learn. Please someone educate me with this. If i buy the Fire phone from amazon, does it run a Amazon kind if Android? Definitely its not lollipop or kitkat that are running on my nexus 5 and dell venue 8 3480, correct?

So is it the Safestrap? Amazon made it based on lollipop or kitkat? If not, i will need to install Safestrap onto the phone first then run it in order to start with the other steps?

I imagine from Safestrap, there is like a menu that let you choose the option to flash ROM file and when its done it goes back to the main menu so you can choose the other option that is "HDX Nexus Gapps" ?

Ok im terrible aint i? Impossie to educate me? Lol...sorry i was an Apple user. I did lots of jb but not the root thing on android at all...
[Amazon Fire Phone] lbwleon:
so happy to install cm. thank you so much.

hope you fix the nfc problem
[Amazon Fire Phone] cuoreesitante:
Correct

Safestrap is a custom recovery that gives you more control over what ROM to install on your device. You can also do things like backup/restore the entire current ROM with it. Yes you will need to install Safestrap before going onto the other steps.

Correct. You just need to follow the other Safestrap thread to install it correctly.

Welcome to the dark side;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
[MENTION=6809995]itsezbb[/MENTION], did you manage to flash SuperSU and obtain root?
[Amazon Fire Phone] extremeblizz:
Just a thought, ggow, what about using the original kindle fire phone app to prevent washing out of photos? I'm sure it's somehow possible to extract the app, perhaps in apk form, from a stock rom and attempt to install it on the cm11 build.

Perhaps the stock camera somehow has specific settings that prevent such washout, or have been optimized for the fire phone?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
The stock camera app relies on a vast amount of the amazon framework, so unfortunately not a feasible option.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I have amended the change log on post #2 to reflect what is actually wrong with google camera.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
i can't seem to root my phone using kingroot and the website says You don't have permission to access this page. so is the site down or what. also after installing the fire os that uses safestrap to install the rom i lost root and safestrap was also removed. which is now why i am needing to re-root my phone.

[Amazon Fire Phone] RainGater:
Well, flashed the ROM and gotta tell you, it's an amazing piece of work! Thank you [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] for a wonderful job on getting rid of the bloated-convoluted-fire-OS and giving a new life to the phone.

For those of you on the fence, go for it - you won't regret it. For anyone interested on Xposed, it works. I flashed GravityBox + PowerNap + Greenify and they all play nicely now.

Only volume rocker wake is not working and double-tap-to-wake is missing and hopefully, it will be fixed with a custom kernel?

Overall, a wonderful job for a BETA release!
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
never mind got it to work again i rebooted the phone to see the safestrap recovery was giving me the option to either go into recovery or continue i just had to sideload the files and now it's back up and running.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Thanks.

For a custom kernel to be flashed an unlocked bootloader is required. But for now enjoy :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] RainGater:
Not true. I have custom kernel installed (dorimanx) on my LG G2 which is bootloader locked as well - no problems.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Ok, I should have said or exploit which allows running of unsigned code.

I guess you are running a BUMP'ed kernel on your G2?

Call drops

Firstly, I wanted to say thank you to Ggow for all of your good work. The improved speed and battery life is amazing.

On the not so good side, I am getting a lot of call drops even when stationary. This never happened on stock. It appears that the mobile network completely loses its connection during some calls. See screenshot:

http://imgur.com/ssSiwjJ

The signal strength indicator now shows 0-2 bars max. My office location has fantastic AT&T coverage.

I can test further if anyone has suggestions.

I'm on AT&T in the States if that helps.

I wonder if slimkat would be better?

Thanks.

I've been using this rom for a week or so now as my daily driver. There are only two things that I'm seeing issues with so far, outside of some issues with the stock mail client which I believe isn't related to this rom..

1. At the lock screen I can't activate the camera with the dedicated camera button. The camera widget works by swiping left with out unlocking the phone. Off the lock screen the dedicated camera button doesn't activate the default capera. I've pressed it and held it. If I hold it the phone vibrates but that's it. I have tried Google Camera and Open Camera as the default.

2. The volume keys on the lock screen don't work. Honestly, this is a pretty important feature to me. It's annoying to have to unlock to adjust the ring volume.

Other than that the rom is very stable. Thank you for all the hard work OP!
[Amazon Fire Phone] gumdealer328:
Dynamic Perspective Sensors

First off, thank you for creating such a beautiful ROM for the amazon fire phone. It is much appreciated. Does anyone know if there could be settings added to use the Dynamic Perspective Sensors for something other than just the 3D viewing on the phone? I was thinking that maybe tapping / covering each sensor could provide a different action, or something else creative that someone could come up with. I know Amazon has an API for accessing the cameras, but wasn't sure if those could be added to a future ROM. Thanks! :)

[Amazon Fire Phone] Yobyot:
I also want to thank ggow for all the work to make this phone useful.

I also have the Bluetooth streaming problem others have mentioned. In my case, the phone pairs easily to a 2012 BMW, but stutters, skips and/or doesn't play (though you can watch the time counters or sliders progress when the phone is connected).

I bought the Fire on a whim one night for $159 with a year of Prime (it was a bargain for $60, unlocked) and activated it on a T-Mobile promotional plan that allows unlimited music streaming from a variety of apps. I'd sure love to be able to get Bluetooth audio streaming working. Has anyone found some way to make it work?

I'm running the 8/29 build of ggow's CM11.
