It needs to collect data over a longer period of time, so that it can give an objective overview. BetterBatteryStats uses the same concept.

You can explore the details with those apps, so it will show much more, including wakelocks / app usage...

I've found that if GPS is on and set to high accuracy, then that had a tendency to consume a lot of battery on my phone.

Has anyone had any issues with text messages? Receiving them is severely delayed. At times I have to restart the phone, and I will get the message.

Any help would be great.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dark_prince:
Which build are you on?

9/15 or 9/25?

Also, which carrier and which network mode are you using? Also the area where you use your phone or observe this, does it have severed reception?
[Amazon Fire Phone] mnknight:
I'm using 9/25 I dirty flashed. The network I'm using is ATT. I haven't noticed any cell drop. New england area. Hwy the areas I'm in has great cell coverage. I will try to clear data for my text program, and see if that works.

hello, this rom is truly amazing. I haven't had a crash since the installation. it works very fine. I installed OpenCamera and done. i have 2 question.

1 - Why people want the stock camera to work?? for me its more important have the NFC working that the stock camera because OpenCamera works fine.

NOT related with the ROM but with Amazon Fire Phone

2 - Anyone here knows about a VR cardboard for the Amazon phone??
[Amazon Fire Phone] distearth:
The Amazon Camera on Fire Phone is amazing. Great low light and OIS are great features.

Cardboard works fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] lqtdc:
sorry when you said Cardboard, can you be specific about which one? I search for that in amazon and there are several.

I imagined that when they said Stock camera they are referring to CyanogenMod or SlimMod cameras.
[Amazon Fire Phone] distearth:
I have a Google Cardboard and a Fire Phone with SlimKat & FireOS. If I use an App for Cardboard, it works on both. I'm not sure about how to be specific. I have not used a Cardboard App that did not work on Fire Phone.

Has anyone had issues with external mics? On my phone yesterday Skype worked fine with my headphones with a mic. Today...the audio works, but the person couldn't hear me. I tested another set of headphones and then the audio wasn't coming through them. I just tested both mics on another device and they both worked just fine.

Can anyone please test this to see if it's just me?

EDIT: I should clarify. This is AFTER installing the new update to the phone. Before the update, no problems. After...read above.
[Amazon Fire Phone] golfingwags:
Btw updated to 9/30 build and battery life seems to be very good....better than I remember on other builds.
[Amazon Fire Phone] amfractal:
As far as I know there are no solutions yet.

I cannot use a couple of frequently used apps like Google Authenticator and Amazon app

They both crash if you try to use the camera to read barcodes. I used an old backup of google authenticator to get it working but cannot add anything to it.

"Scan to" function within Google Drive also crashes.

Huge thanks to the developer for bringing stock android experience to the fire phone.

[Amazon Fire Phone] azirgi:
Is there any theme choosing option in this Rom?

I went to the settings and could not find it...
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
SlimRoms don't have a theme chooser / theme engine (yet). They are working on a theme engine, most likely based on the "new" CM theme engine (from a statement back in 2014).

The team is currently working on a couple of projects, e.g. stable version of SlimLP.

Don't expect anything in the next few months. They are very ambitious but it will take a lot of time to accomplish. You can visit http://slimroms.org/ for news and progress...

For now, you can use the built in color changing feature and switch on / off "The Real Dark Slim (TRDS)" and combine it with a custom launcher like Nova (Prime). I use TRDS + Moonshine icons.

Hi. I have recently put a rom on my kindle fire hdx 7" . Since I really like it, I would now want to put a custom rom onto my fire phone. Could someone link me to or give me a short reply on how to do this by a step by step guide. Thank you.

What is that Google Partner crash at startup? What is it for?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Does it crash every time at startup

or

did it crash once after the Gapps installation? Clear the data for this app and try again.

(Google partner setup allows applications to run in conjunction with google products. For example, it will allow linking to your calendar and to gmail.)
[Amazon Fire Phone] in.dubio:
It crashes on every startup. Tried deleting cache and data but issue persists...

Edit : ok after deleting data, a couple of minutes later there was data again. So I deleted this too and seems to work. Rebooted phone right now without crash at startup...
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I gotta say, this is a good idea but my workaround--using many different camera apps with preset settings for night, day, predawn, early evening, etc. etc.... way more eloquent. Lol. Thanks. Not sure how everyone missed this... was there an update to snap?

Anyways, Id encourage you to post this in the CM 11 thread. Id do it myself but it feels cheesy since youre the one who found it. Thanks again!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ItsDon:
Not sure if there was an update or not, I just stumbled on it. Anyway, took your advice and posted over at CM11. I wouldn't have cared one way or the other who posts it. I'm all about everybody knowing everything - however it gets disseminated :)

I have still not been able to use any in-line mic with my phone. I am almost positive these works on an older version of Slimkat. Anyone have any input on this? It has been going on for almost a month...
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
Thank you. Updating to the new version, will test the mic with it ASAP.

EDIT: Using to to make a phone call (not skype) seemed to work OK. He said it was a bit faint. But that might just be the headset.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Do you know which version of SlimKat it was working on before?

- If it's the case it was indeed working before then this would help zero in on the issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I have always had the latest version of Slimkat installed within 24-48 hours of you releasing it. So whatever build came out before just the end of September I believe they were working. I was using my phone for Skype and it worked. Updated on the 28th of September and they could no longer hear me. Made a phone call and that person couldn't hear me either.

Have yet to test Skype on the new build, but using an in-line mic for phone calls seems to work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] killerxda:
Pictures with flash are fine on viewfinder but the saved image is always extremely over-exposed. Is it a rom issue or something to do with the hole near the camera? The flash photos are almost completely white and unusable.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
It's a general issue with every custom ROM (CM-11 & SlimKat) because Amazon doesn't provide the necessary sources. You can find some Camera alternatives and settings in this thread and you can try this here as well:

--- update ---

Back to an older topic:

I tried the 30 seconds setting with the v. 2015/10/24 build and it stayed on 30 sec. the whole time (reboot, etc.) Maybe it was caused by Xposed / modules...

I seem to be having some trouble with the microphone when calling iphones or Bluetooth devices when using the ear piece. People keep saying that it's very muffled and they can't hear ****. So i either have to use an external microphone or put it on speaker. Weirdest part is that if i call an Android phone, it works flawlessly.

Anyone else having this issue? I'm on the latest build.

could someone please tell me which rom is for daily use for heavy usage including lots of gps navigation use. i only managed to install cm11 today in the morning, so far i am very impressed with it. on google plus someone mentioned SlimKat and now i am confused on whether to go through the hassle of trying out or not. from opening posts both roms look similar with similar issues. please reply

[Amazon Fire Phone] cell2011:
Xposed work good on CM 11 do you know? I just want to get Amplify and Gravity box and change the nav bars to lollipop.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Xposed works to a certain extent, since it's not a pure AOSP ROM.

You could ask [MENTION=5924408]KLit75[/MENTION], I think he has a lot of experience with testing a bunch of modules and he's still active on the forum...
[Amazon Fire Phone] rster:
The parts of Gravity Box I tried worked for me, but it's always possible that the minor problems I had with cm11 (compared to slimkat) may have been due to Xposed and the modules I was using. So, make your backup, give it a try, and let us know how it works.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Judith007:
After I installed this latest update my Xposed was not working. So I tried to reinstall the framework and I got an error saying it's not compatible with SDK 19 or my processor architecture, followed by a "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE" error. Is there any way I can get Xposed to work?
[Amazon Fire Phone] BagiMT:
I got the same error for Xposed. Was working fine on the previous build.

Actually, I just found out that the recents menu still opens automatically on unlock, but not when it's only locked for a short period of time. It seems to have to be locked for a few minutes first. I'll try to get more specifics on the timing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] krs007:
compare slimkat with cm11

Does anyone have numbers to compare these two roms? I am primarily interested in basic usage related like battery, response time, n/w, etc. I am currently using CM11 all the time and trying to see compelling reason to move to slimrom.

Any thoughts are welcome.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I don't have an option to launch any apps. Suggestion?

i didn't read all 11 pages worth....but has anyone noticed that it does NOT have to go in stock slot??? I have SafeStrap 4 on my Fire Phone and this ROM is in slot 1 and SlimKat is on Stock Slot and its working.....so if you need dual-boot, you can use this ROM :)

[Amazon Fire Phone] :
"Dual boot" itself isn't the problem... btw. "this ROM is in slot 1 and SlimKat is on Stock Slot", what's "this ROM" since you posted in the SlimKat thread? ;)

Question [MENTION=3770973]Dvdxploitr[/MENTION] - how is your connectivity on slot 1? WiFi, Data, BT, etc. All working ok? Eagerly awaiting your reply (although I'm 99% sure what the answer will be ^^).
[Amazon Fire Phone] cthulhu1987:
How do I get the camera button to work again?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Dvdxploitr:
Okay, I posted this in the wrong thread since I had multiple tabs open. But, the Other ROM was Cyanogenmod 11.....SlimKat is in Stock Slot and Cyanogenmod is in Slot one...HOWEVER, both ROMS say stock slot is mandatory.

Working: Sound, wifi, camera (with flash), Google Play

Not working: Mobile calling (doesn't acknowledge SIM card), bluetooth, video recording (at least not with stock camera)

I am not using this phone for phone calls, its used for Perk TV & Swagbucks only....however, wifi, sound, web browsing, etc is all working perfectly. But yes, dual-booting is working. I will flash this ROM in Slot two and triple boot and report back when I get it booting

EDIT: SlimKat is installed on Slot-2 and Stock Slot....everything appears to be working that I can test. It does not appear that mobile is available though. I put a Sprint card in it (i know it isn't Sprint device, but the Stock ROM acknowledged there was a SIM card in it by asking for a SIM Unlock code and the Slot 2 ROM didn't and it says "No Service". I guess it could be nice to have multiple ROMs if you want to play games and not be bothered by phone calls...

"- Installation in the Stock Slot is Mandatory"

how to install in the stock slot?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Nobuddy0816:
Install safestrap, backup the stock-rom in the stock slot, perform a factory reset, install the latest release and you are good to go.

TWRP point to the stock slot by default, so you have nothing special to change.

As always, be careful and check every step twice before you push any button ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Sn33z3x:
is there any possibility that i'll lose safestrap recv?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Nobuddy0816:
AFAIK the TWRP (Safestrap) recovery should be present and functional as long as you do

not

perform a factoryreset/ flash via the stock recovery.

Also the wipe menu should be handled with care. Standard factory reset without any additional options made should be safe, a full wipe with all options enabled might be remove the custom recovery and/ or may cause a brick.

Using twrp out of the box is safe so far and the worst case is a factory reset with data loss, but the recovery and phone stays fully functional.

First rule is as always: think before you push or swipe any buttons which proceed something!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Sn33z3x:
Hi. i installed this rom 3 days ago and i found no prob except cam. Today my phone doesnt recognize SIM card anymore. In lockscr it says "no sim card". IMEI is ok i checked *#06*. when i use stock fire os i sometimes have "invalid SIM card" prob and i solved it by open sim slot then inject it.( sometime it took me more than 1 time of opening and injecting) then i could use mobile network again. Now i tried but it still not recognize SIM. What can i do? Is this prob caused by rom?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Duchman:
If you had a similar problem on stock, then I'd most certainly say that this is not a problem with the ROM. My best guess is that your SIM card was somehow damaged (maybe bad cutting). What you could do is, take it to your network provider and ask them to replace it for you. See if that helps.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Sn33z3x:
Ok! Anybody knows how to use cam in 3rd app like camera360? i dont know why just a few apps can use phone's cam
