[Amazon Fire Phone] Minkwon:
Dear Friends, I have some problems for this version

Hello~

I have some problems for this version. I have a Amazon Echo which was connectable with any bluetooth device including mobile phone,

the bluetooth device of Amazon Echo did not find my fire phone. One interesting is well connect except Amazon Echo.

Also, I do need call recording program, but this version could not record the voice of receiver.

For your reference, I try to install many call record program but not operated well as above.

:crying:
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Try Boldbeast Call Recorder, it's a pricey app, but if you highly depend on it...

ROM Information

The SlimKat github hasn't had any updates since December 2015. Also seems unlikely that will change. So for now if you're looking for a ROM that's regularly updated then it's better to switch to CM-11 or Fire Nexus ROM. If the situation changes I'll let you know.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Minkwon:
Hi friends, thank you for your interest.

I found interesting things for Slimkat[1/26]. I installed the slimkat [1/26] with in turn installation other GAPPS, but still did not work call recording.

So, I returned the Fire OS using zip file flashing whether confirm that the fire phone originally did not support the calling record function or not.

Fire OS and Fire Phone supported the calling record for ACR apps.

So I asked many times to my friends having a fire phone.... "what kinds of roms do you install ?

The Slimkat rom was [9/30, 2015] rom. Also, I'm so surprised because he was using ACR apps which works well @ fire phone.

The next day, I installed the [9/30]rom @ my fire phone, ACR apps worked very well.

Maybe ggow developer was missing the voice related files during updated the Slimkat rom.

I will expect the next Slimkat rom more improve with support calling Record.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Joceyvdv:
I installed slimkat on my fire phone. After a call or during a call sometimes I hear a " buzzzzzzzzzz" ( static) coming from headset even after call has ended. Even if screen is locked you can hear the bzzzzzzz. Anyone else have problem? It's coming from headset ( the ear speaker not the speaker speaker)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Lord23v:
Please tell us what should we donate so you can fix the skype video calls?
[Amazon Fire Phone] mhill1986:
Please tell me you are joking. Do you think ggow is just holding out until he gets paid? Hmm, on second thought, $100,000 may do it, eh, ggow?
[Amazon Fire Phone] cthulhu1987:
Don't be so hard on him, we all are desperate for working Skype, Kik, SnapChat and Barcode scanner apps.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Minkwon:
I found one interesting thing.

Dear ggow,

I found one interesting thing. ACR calling record app is works well based on Slimkat [9/30] when I called to someone.

But, When I recevied the call from sender, call recording did work but the phone could not record the voice of sender.

Honorable ggow, pls dissolve this problem next version both Slimkat and CM11 with referring to Fire OS.

Thank you so much in advance for your interest.

edit

Found several other comments of users not being able to use the QR function to enable whatsweb app. No solutions found so far. So for now i'll have to go back to stock rom with Google Now Launcher :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] imhere:
I'd rather type on my phone with CM11, than use Stock Rom with WhatsappWeb.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I really hope someone has some input on this...

I have been using Slimkat for months, literally since one if not the first version that was released. Recently I noticed my phone was getting warm and draining battery life rather fast.

Upon checking the battery stats I noticed Google Play Services/Android OS/Android System and some other similar items being at the top of the list. This concerned me of course and I did some digging online and found an android app that said it would fix the issue.

It does work but it comes back, I figured I would reset the phone to default via recovery. And by reset I mean totally reset it. I noticed the issue was gone...until this evening. I do not believe it is any of my apps causing it, but what do I know...lol

If someone can PLEASE help me with this I would be very grateful.

Thank you so much for any help.

EDIT: I am going to switch to CM11 and see if that fixes the issue...No idea why this started all of a sudden.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bme9:
I had the exact same issue. Wiping cache and dalvik cache seems to have fixed the problem for me.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I tried this to no avail. Here is what I have tried and the results...

-Noticed unusual battery drain so I reset my phone, still happened....

-Installed CM11...still happened. I also noticed an echo when using hangouts dialer and a few features I got used to in slimkat were not available in CM11, so I went back to Slimkat.

-Issue still occurred

-Cleared Dalvik and standard cache via recovery, still happened after a short while.

-One thing I noticed was last night at around 11PM until who knows when (went to sleep) Google Play Services was using 70% of the battery...that is INSANE. I am talking about a 10% drain overall on my battery per hour with barely any use. Maybe 5-10 min of actual minor use (web browsing and email checking) within that hour.

-Went to sleep and some time in the middle of the night the Google Play Services was down to an acceptable 5-10% battery drain. But Android System seems to be a little high, 30% or so, but it doesn't seem to impact battery life that badly.

I have turned off sync for everything related to my Google account including Photos and tested it at 100% battery and it still shows a high battery drain, so that doesn't fix it.

I did some google searching here and there when I first noticed it to see if it was a widespread issue and it seems some other people are experiencing it on non-Kitkat based phones as well as newer devices like the S7. I don't know if everyone is experiencing this and not noticing it or if it's really random in terms of what is causing it.

All I know is that this started within the last week or so and that is when Google updated Google Play Services, so hopefully this will be fixed soon...

If anyone has any input for me (and others) that would be great. Thank you!
[Amazon Fire Phone] mhill1986:
You're definitely not alone. I switched to another daily driver because of this issue. Play services had been using up to 70% of my battery all of a sudden. Hoping the next Google update fixes this, too.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I MIGHT have found a solution to this in my trial and error.

I woke up like I stated and the usage was normal, then it skyrocketed to 50%+. I can easily tell when this happens because the phone gets slightly warm instead of being cool to the touch when the screen is off.

At my wits end I decided to uninstall the updated and reinstall them (again this was on a fresh install so it wasn't like it was there for more then a few days so I doubt this would matter). Attempting this promoted a message to say I had to disable it as a device admin.

I looked into what this might change, which is Google Device Manager to find, ring, lock, and erase a connected device remotely. I never use that feature, but I am sure some people do. I unchecked the box and uninstalled the update and then installed again.

Ever since then (7-8 hours approx) my phone has been running just fine, literally 2-7% max for Google Play Services. I do not know if the uninstall/install is what caused this or the unchecking Device Administrator option. Nor do I know if this is a temporary fix, but I figured I'd pass this on if anyone wants to test it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Thanks for sharing , I have the same issue , didn't know what it was, my phone has started to go flat very quick and I too have noticed it getting very warm , almost hot .

Is this fire phone specific ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
The only thing I have found to actually fix this for certain is Force Stopping Google play services. That lowers it to normal levels but eventually it will get high/hot again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] prince_arsalan:
Please Fix camera...
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
no

Seriously, do you think if he could fix the camera he wouldn't? This is a known issue, read the problems/issues in the main post before getting upset/sad with the camera.
[Amazon Fire Phone] wec777:
I searched but couldn't find whether I need to use ARM or ARM64 version of GAPPS; please advise & thanks in advance! :)

UPDATE: Nevermind, ARM64 isn't an option for KitKat 4.4, so it must be ARM.
[Amazon Fire Phone] maverick9611:
ggow, please port in latest security updates like you did for cm11/lineage os. great work on keeping fire alive!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hussain_97:
seriously guyz, i had use every rom but i was not satisfy with their look and battery issue and finally i install Miui rom and really i m totally satisfy with that, its look and battery timing is awsome, its permission function i like the most that i manully allow the apps to auto start..
[Amazon Fire Phone] Vestone:
Miui on the fire phone?!

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Hey Guys,

everytime i connect my fire phone (slim kat) to a bluetooth speaker, i dont get any sound out of it.

What i tried so far:

-used multiple bluetooth devices (car; mobile speaker; tv sound bar) with no success. Everyone showed the same problem.

- removed all devices from the pairing list

- visible to all devices

- wiped cache

- tried spotify and poweramp

-moved from cm11 to slim kat: the problem was solved for like 15 min. The sound then suddenly stopped without me touching the display (no sound then, but the music player continued to play)

Any ideas? I uploaded a video showing the problem. all i get from the speaker is a silent buzz, which i tried to capture in the video at 01:20.

Also notice the weird volume button at 00:57...it switches from the normal audio speaker to the bluethooth speaker every time i change the volume.

https://youtu.be/sxMLdcQzb8E

I hope someone can help me.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hussain_97:
yes Miui 7 on Amazon fire phone you can google it amd here is a link of that Rom .

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4MaWJPAv-qKcVhJUlpPLXdYelU/view

And i recomond to install gapps nano because it does'nt include google launcher and Miui 7 orignal look is much better ..
[Amazon Fire Phone] Vestone:
Flashed miui, but the phone randomly reboots when using the phone. i also get the message, that android.com.phone.... stopped working...

[Amazon Fire Phone] ReiBuzi:
When I switch from Dalvik to ART, the reboot is stuck and the boot animation is repeating.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ReiBuzi:
also I can't root my phone since I have installed this rom, Kingroot fails. I have tried 4 different versions.

I can't install any other ROM because somehow I have deleted Safetrap

I can't install Safetrap because I don't have root.

I have tried to install a stock ROM with ADB but it said signature checking failed.

Is my phone bricked now? What can I do?
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
If nothing flashed with adb and you did not wipe the system then you should automatically boot to slimkat regardless of Safestrap :confused:

Maybe you should try read a little before you flash ROM's :rolleyes:

Root is built in see this post from the very first page 1 https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62556765&postcount=3
[Amazon Fire Phone] ReiBuzi:
Root is enabled under developer options, but Safetrap and Kingroot says it is not rooted.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Flash SuperSU 2.46 if the developer options root access is not working.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ReiBuzi:
I can't flash supersu because I don't have Safetrap. I don't have root because...

I can't flash supersu because I don't have Safetrap. I don't have root because...

Please help me escape this hell :'D
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
I think he is saying he has lost Safestrap so he cant flash the SuperSU .zip :confused:

Posted at the same time. :laugh:

Check adb shell

Maybe he could push the files using adb if ticking root access allows adb shell to run as root :fingers-crossed:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ReiBuzi:
I have tried that but stock recovery only allows signed zips.

I have tried to flash a stock ROM but it has failed because of signature.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Just boot to slimkat rom (Not Recovery) then try

adb

adb shell

if you see $ then you are running as a normal user if you see # then you have root shell and you can copy and move files and set permissions which will allow you to manually install SuperSU
[Amazon Fire Phone] ReiBuzi:
I see $
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Type

adb shell

then

su

and see if it changes to # :fingers-crossed:

You may get su not found :(

If it does then you can try this guide here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2684210 the key is psneuter which will elevate you to root user.

Edit:

BTW I know this sounds dumb but did you install the superuser apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser&hl=en
[Amazon Fire Phone] ReiBuzi:
I have solved this problem by flashing stock ROM from amazon.com, that way I could get Kingroot to work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Cool glad you got there in the end just be sure to flash the recommended SuperSU at the same time as you flash any of the custom roms available for this device. :good:

Please can you look up why changing to ART causes boot loop?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
She would need to have hangouts as well I think. There is a second app for Hangouts called Hangouts Dialer. That one lets you actually call phone numbers. I use it with my Google Voice account. I am unsure how you would use it with your standard cell number though.
[Amazon Fire Phone] tintin1892:
Fantastic work you have done two ROMs for a phone that was lost. Now brought to a new life with ur work. Thank you so much for your hard work. :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Her phone is out of memory and out of bounds for me ha ha so I can't really try it unless you want to call me on it , I haven't a clue what you would need though ha , I'm in the UK

I've pm ed you with my hangouts email :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
I do not have the Fire Phone yet. It should arrive tomorrow. I appreciate you testing it out for me! It sounds like the default dialer is having issues with mute but 3rd party apps seem OK. Hopefully Hangouts Dialer has no issues with mute.

Have you noticed any echoes on your end or the other callers end (they hear you as an echo or they hear their own voice as a an echo)?
[Amazon Fire Phone] hawsey:
Nope no echoes for me , had several calls today on CM11 and all good , just installed SlimKat so not really tried it yet .

I'm not able to get root with SuperSU on this SlimKat yet , would I need to KingRoot again?

It just says binaries need updating and doesn't work .

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] Saix_XIII:
EDIT: Nevermind, this was unhelpful, don't want others to get confused so removing my post.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- get into developer options in settings

- then look for root access in debug section
[Amazon Fire Phone] distearth:
Just tried this and looks good but I was hoping it could solve the Google Now reminders defaulting to Silent after unlock. Such a weird quirk on Fire Phone. I believe it has more to do with Play Services than anything else but I'm guessing...

Any ideas?

That did it ggow , many thanks

Just installed SlimKat. So far works great. Will report back on battery life and other issues.

A problem I have right now (as was with CM11) is that it doesn't show 5GHz networks. Any ideas how to fix this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Milimbar:
Root enabled for apps and adb in root access.

Root also enabled for apps and adb in the #superuser section below developer options.

Do not have working root.

Attempted to install superuser manually and when it updates binaries, it says failed reboot and try again.

Any ideas?

With CM11 and SlimKat, I have been able to connect at 5G with channels 40 through 56, but not the higher frequencies. In addition, I seem to get only wireless N speeds, though I had AC speeds with Fire OS.
[Amazon Fire Phone] amfractal:
Thanks, after changing the channel it can see the 5Ghz network.

Weird problem! Any fixes for channels above 56 (in places we don't have access to change channel)?

Is there any Chance to make a Android L or M Rom ?? Cm12.1 or something
[Amazon Fire Phone] madushan1000:
AFAIK platform_system_core is part of Android and does not subject to GPL. I might be wrong though.

Anyway, looking at the function name, it looks like a useless log function(we can live without nfc logs right :)) . Did you try defining the function prototype somewhere in liblog header with maybe void pointers or something? What happened?

I am a Chinese users,Thank you for telling me this news..Although my English is not 100% satisfying now, I'm doing my best on it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Yes, I tried that declaring an function prototype but crashes the whole ROM

- These functions are used throughout the Amazon blobs

- If I try to replace the Amazon blobs with my HAL libs for example then the ROM won't boot because liblog does not have the standard android logging functions either

- I am going to see if I can patch the binaries to bypass the system/core stuff

- I think you maybe right about system/core not coming under LGPL
[Amazon Fire Phone] ReiBuzi:
This happens on the Lineage ROM too, so I think the cause is a security update.
[Amazon Fire Phone] BagiMT:
Thanks for this new update with all the security fixes!

Does anyone else have problems running Skype after the update? Mine just crashes when I try to launch it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] BagiMT:
Today I reverted back to the previous version (20160126) and Skype worked without issues. Going back to the latest releases again same issue with Skype crashing, so something in the new version must be causing it. It would be great to be able to get all the security fixes but I do need Skype on my phone.
