Again: thank you very much for this terrific rom.

Could you please fix the keyboard sound .
[Fire Original Android Development] fredm77:
I used to reinstall everything and to restore my apps and reposition icons... Boring.

I used Flashfire and everything was there. I guess you can do the same via recovery.
[Fire Original Android Development] dueltothedeath:
Just turn it off in the keyboard settings.

FireOS 5.1.1

Am I right, that if we are on 5.1.1 we are completely SOL until something changes?

Is there anyway to downgrade to 5.0.1 so we can get TWRP running?

yes

no

When I turn my screen brightness up I see faint vertical lines wiggling on the display. Is this normal? You have to sorta stare at the screen to see it.

I seem to have found a bug: do not change the USB Connection value to Charge Only. I can no longer get the mode selection screen up, and if adb isn't enabled (which mine wasn't) then I can't enable it, and therefore can't boot into fastboot via adb.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
'usb is disconnected'

lol, yeah I ran into this last week, forgot to report it here though. I tried and tried to get adb enabled but to no avail. Only thing that worked was just reflashing the system.

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 AM ----------

not what I meant to say. Meant to say I just ended up doing a factory reset through settings.
[Fire Original Android Development] jimmyln:
Can confirm that this is a bug! This should be listed in the first post. Anyway, here is the way to fix it:

1. Developer Option >> Enable Root for both ADB and Apps [can be skipped if you are not using CM's own SU]

2. Developer Option >> Enable Local Terminal.

3. Open Terminal app

4. Type su, then press Enter. (Allow access if needed)

5. Type setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp, then press Enter.

6. Type setprop sys.usb.config mtp, then press Enter.

7. Developer Option >> Enable USB debugging

8. "Connected as a media device" notification should now shown. Click on this notification, and then click on MTP (even though it's checked already).
[Fire Original Android Development] Connorsdad:
Moving the slider from side to side doesn't change the brightness level at all for me.

Anyone find a solution to the app incompatibility issue? I also cannot download Shazam, Android Device Manager, etc. Says they aren't compatible. Using the latest build and gapps since I just flashed CM12 for the first time just about an hour ago.
[Fire Original Android Development] Pond-life:
Apparently Market Helper lets you install them (well Shazam at least don't know about any others for sure), but it needs to be run each time you boot.
[Fire Original Android Development] tonyf7:
I actually just discovered that I can't install any apps at all. Gonna try an order version of gapps and see what happens. Should I just flash gapps dirty or should I wipe some stuff first?
[Fire Original Android Development] Pond-life:
Oh that's a rather bigger problem, thought gapps issues were cleared up, flash dirty first I'd say and then if it doesn't work you can always try wiping. I would say go back to backup but guessing there isn't one.
[Fire Original Android Development] Uxorious:
Same problem here with a lot of apps being "not supported on my device".

MLB.com At Bat

Z Launcher

Arrow Launcher

Even stranger ... I tried installing "Google Play Games" which *is* supported.

But that one gives "Can't install app, Error code -505" when installing.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- Install older version from apkmirror then update from google playstore

- This is probably the same battle we have been experiencing on other Amazon Devices.

- I used to modify the build.prop things would work fine for a bit

- Then after a while things would start breaking

- Could be newer gapps versions are filtering devices/changing the way things work
[Fire Original Android Development] kramalot:
Certainly seems so- I just restored a backup from Dec 4th using the older open gapps from Nov and things that were "not compatible" with current open gapps suddenly are. Anyone using any of the alternative gspps (slim etc.) able to test this?
[Fire Original Android Development] tonyf7:
Flashed gapps from 11/20 that I found on Rootjunky.com and I can at least install apps now.

Still not letting me install certain apps, like Shazam, still.

Weird.

Anyone notice that when changing the dpi to 180 the icons all look fuzzy? Or is it just me?
[Fire Original Android Development] rybaryba33:
Hi, just wanted to re-assure you guys that keyboard touch sound adjustment IS WORKING FINE on mine :)
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
So I re-retried the market helper app; at first I wasn't able to get shazam/google news to show supported again. Then after waiting a tiny bit, they showed supported and I was able to install. Then I tried uninstalling market helper, and I was still able to install/uninstall those apps. I'm currently showing supported for MLB and Z launcher, but not Arrow launcher, that one might have its own permission issues. Another thing though is if I goto google play through my desktop web browser and install, I now see No carrier Amzn KFFOWI as an option to install to; I dont remember if it was there before.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Yeah 180 is super fuzzy, I went back to 160 stock because of that.
[Fire Original Android Development] mmurphmsu:
Love this ROM!! Keyboard sounds is my only issue. It's either loud or off, nothing in between.
[Fire Original Android Development] tonyf7:
Has anyone tried setting up a restricted user profile? I'm trying to set one up for my daughter but when I switch to the profile all I get is a black screen followed by an error "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped".

Update: Creating another regular user does not crash System UI. Only creating a restricted profile does. My workaround was to install Nova Launcher, enable it for the restricted profile, log into the profile and then use Nova as my default launcher.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
To adjust the keyboard sound - do the following

- Go to settings -> Languages & input -> Android Keyboard -> Advanced -> Keypress sound volume

- Then adjust the slider to your preferred level
[Fire Original Android Development] zach61797:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] I found a solution to remove the no sim problem. In thee build prop create a section between the system stuff and the additional build properties

It will look like this

# RIL

ro.carrier=wifi-only

ro.radio.noril=yes

All sim notifications removed
[Fire Original Android Development] Vlasp:
That worked, thanks!
[Fire Original Android Development] qtotter:
i installed google camera, but it does not save anything anywhere. there's no option to choose where to save photos/install app?

- After initial development is over I will build the zip files with block based image generation enabled so this problem will go away

[Fire Original Android Development] Khyinn:
Hi,

Currently testing the rom. Wiped everything to have a clean install. Rom flashed, Supersu flashed, OpenGApps 2015-11-17 pico flashed.

Now when i boot, the setup screen is showing then the Google account screen to connect to Google and i have an error connecting to Google.

Applied the patch for sim notifications in build.prop before flashing.

rebooting don't help. I can access to the launcher but no way to add a google account.

Any idea to what happens here ?
[Fire Original Android Development] gitchrodd:
I would try without the build. Prop edit. You can do that later after boot. Or if that's not it redownload gapps.

I ended up using the aroma version because certain Google apps (play games) don't want to install after from play store. But a warning.... Aroma does not work well on this thing. No touch you have to use some kind of magical volume plus power button combos that I'm not sure I could handle again and I had to hard reboot at the end to finish.
[Fire Original Android Development] hammer-is:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] thanks for porting the rom! that's fantastic to be able to have CM12.1 on this nice and cheap device.

Do you think it will possible to get bluetooth to work or are there any reason(s) why this might never be possible?
[Fire Original Android Development] Vlasp:
I am getting random force shut downs, where the tablet just automatically turns off. Any help?
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- Mine seems solid at the moment

- Current uptime from status is 7 hours 10 minutes

- How frequently does the problem occur?

- Have you tried installing clean?
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- Bluetooth may be possible but will not know until I look deeper into it.

- You'll be sure to hear if I find a solution :)
[Fire Original Android Development] Vlasp:
It only happens when I play Clash of Clans, and it happened every 2 minutes. I never had a previous version installed, so I did a fresh install. This and the camera are the only problems with this ROM, but I am keeping it as my daily driver.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- I haven't tested the camera, would you mind giving an account of the problems?

- Is it possible at all to get capture a logcat when Clash of the Clan Crashes?
[Fire Original Android Development] qtotter:
I guess he meant camera didn't save anything? Not even in internal storage. A permission issue?
[Fire Original Android Development] Vlasp:
Camera problem being that it doesn't save the picture. I will try to capture a logcat, but I will go back to stock for the time being, there are no benefits of CM right now for me.
[Fire Original Android Development] qtotter:
Forgot to mention my impression.

It's snappier than the stock ROM without Amazon apps. It solved some app issues that I had with stock before. It's really nice to use normal Android settings. WiFi reconnection seems better than stock.

SDXC doesn't seem to be supported. Camera doesn't save anything. I don't use camera and Bluetooth on Fire, so these are not big issues for me. There seems to be an issue in switching between MTP/PTP/charge only.

After all, I love it.
[Fire Original Android Development] shiz0id:
For anyone who is using as their daily driver, Can you tell me if the tablet has longer battery life on CM
[Fire Original Android Development] Vlasp:
The battery life has been similar to Stock ROM, with CM having ~1% more usage per hour. I have been using it for a day, so I guess that counts.

[Fire Original Android Development] November627:
I had this same issue -- my solution was to install using the stock version of gapps but using a gapps-config file to make sure GPG was part of the initial install. Has worked fine since.
[Fire Original Android Development] dueltothedeath:
For folks having compatibility issues with apps, or the ones that just can't be installed like Google play games... I went to APK mirror and downloaded Google play games. Installed just fine. Try side loading those apps and see if it works.
[Fire Original Android Development] kramalot:
Arrow launcher is shown as installable with open gapps from November.

[MENTION=4753196]tonyf7[/MENTION] Shazam also shows as OK using that old gapps (though I'm also currently on the 12/04 ROM as well).
[Fire Original Android Development] TheHunterOfShadows:
Anyone notice pulling down quick setting crashes to lock screen. Only time this doesn't happen is when i swipe away all apps. Then quick settings will open.
[Fire Original Android Development] rybaryba33:
Would someone try for me if the voice button of google search bar that can be set up on every screen (in home screen settings) is working? It is not working on mine.
[Fire Original Android Development] kramalot:
However I've just done a clean install of the current rom (11th Dec) with the open gapps of Nov20th and Arrow and Shazam are now shown as incompatible again (and Google Calendar also won't install, err 505).

So maybe this is not entirely a gapps problem.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- There are is known bug in the Package Installer or Package ID(s) if I remember right which is the cause of the error 505 given by google play and google calendar

- The workaround for now is to install from apkmirror then update from play store
[Fire Original Android Development] mmurphmsu:
You have to install Google now if you used pico gapps. That's what I had to get to get the ring target to work for Google Now.

[Fire Original Android Development] bl4cKz4cK:
I just (clean) flashed the most recent build, it's running smooth like butter, really impressive stuff!

Even though you've marked bluetooth as "working" in the feature spreadsheet, there still seems to be that issue I (and some other person as well) reported a while ago. It's reproducible by doing the following steps:

- clean flash

- boot

- go to settings -> users -> add user or profile -> user -> ok -> set up now

- device auto-switches to the new user

- go to settings -> Bluetooth

- In the Bluetooth dialog, it is constantly showing "Turning on Bluetooth", unfortunately it doesn't go any further

Hopefully these steps will help troubleshooting the issue. I don't really know where to start... :/

Keep up the awesome work, it's greatly appreciated!
[Fire Original Android Development] tomalak007:
Love the ROM, thanks so much! What is the recommended way to update this ROM?
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- Thanks for the feedback - good to hear you're enjoying the ROM :)

- Will look into this in the coming releases

- I have been working on some framework optimisations which once I get them working should improve performance further.
[Fire Original Android Development] kramalot:
This is covered elsewhere in this thread. Basically download the latest rom, flash it over the existing, flash SuperSU again (if you use it), I usually flash gapps again though I think, at least with open gapps, this should be unnecessary unless you want to update that too, then wipe cache and dalvic cache and job done.
[Fire Original Android Development] Moogagot:
Just flash the new Rom. SuperSU and gapps should hold.
[Fire Original Android Development] kramalot:
FWIW I have done a clean install using tk-gapps (nano) and things are much the same as far as play store is concerned - all of the difficult apps mentioned by people are still not installlable. Ah well. Now to restore my beautiful original setup....
[Fire Original Android Development] TheHunterOfShadows:
Dude apkmirror guys, look it up. I have all the the apps i want. Looks like after you install, Google store updates them.
[Fire Original Android Development] mmurphmsu:
Guess I don't have that option. Using the aosp keyboard. Do I need to install the Google keyboard?
[Fire Original Android Development] mojoehand:
I have flashed two tablets and things seem to be working just fine so far. I like this much better than the stock OS, even with the mods listed on this forum. One possible issue is that I cannot install Swype from the Play store. It tells me that this device is incompatible. Has anyone gotten Swype to install? Perhaps I am missing something that is needed. I only installed the Pico gapps.
[Fire Original Android Development] Chema_F:
Same for me. Cannot from Play Store, incompatible.

Maybe you already know these things but I tell you my experience:

I can install Swype from apkmirror and the app works fine, but installing and old version seems not to be updated from the Play Store like people are reporting for other apps (Shazam, etc. )

I'm using the last Swype version in my OnePlus so I send it via Bluetooth to the tablet where is working fine too.

Sorry for the inconvenience with the Play Store anyway ;)

Sideload it. I've seen that for quite a few apps that work just fine when sideloaded.
[Fire Original Android Development] Chema_F:
The thing is that downloading the app (not the last version) from apkmirror and installing it (what is called sideloading if I'm not wrong) I get the app working fine but then if go to the Play Store and search (writing with my pretty Swype keyboard just sideloaded) for the Swype app I still receive that the device is not compatible.

amazing work! thank you very much ggow!

two questions:

- any chance that screen off animation artifact will be fixed? or maybe there is a way to turn the animation off altogether?

- do you think it's possible to fix issue with screen not having square pixels which stretches the image. it's very obvious when I'm browsing photos.

I think that different DPI for X and Y would have to be applied but don't know if it's possible.

thanks.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- I'll fix the screen animation artifact in a future release for sure

- As for the screen stretching not sure anything can be done about this - haven't looked into it.
[Fire Original Android Development] hp420:
Like I said, some apps just show that for any number of reasons. If it works, what's the difference? You got the app you were after, didn't you???
[Fire Original Android Development] manywelps:
Is the aspect ratio off like the other roms?
[Fire Original Android Development] :
Huge thanks [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]!

This little tablet is now my daily driver - smooth, fast and reliable and still fits into my jacket pocket!

QQ - is it possible to turn on double tap to wake feature somehow?
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- double tap 2 wake usually requires kernel modifications so at this time unfortunately not
[Fire Original Android Development] Webern:
I've not noticed the aspect ratio being off. I imagine it's the same for all roms because the display is the same (ie not quite 1:1). I've noticed some apps have slightly blurry text/icons but I guess that's the low resolution and the fact that they're not providing native - or close enough to native - resolution images.

A question about gapps: is there any difference between using an older gapps and then just updating as normal via the play store vs getting the latest gapps? I've noticed in these forums people complaining about this or that version of gapps, so why not just stick with a known working one when you first flash the rom/supersu/gapps and then update once installed?
[Fire Original Android Development] TheHunterOfShadows:
Weird, I installed google play games app from there and google play now just updated it.

[Fire Original Android Development] dueltothedeath:
Wow you guys.. You need to side load the app. Fresh install will do nothing for you. I've suggested this before but I guess no one cares.

[Fire Original Android Development] BoulderGeek:
Huh, strange, (on 12/11 version) I repeatedly have tried to download and sideload the Google Play Services app from apkmirror, and upon install it says "Error Parsing the file." I have turned off "Verify over USB" and made sure that Unknown Sources are enabled.
[Fire Original Android Development] TheHunterOfShadows:
I have to agree with duetodeath. Please read, people. Sideloading had been suggested almost daily. And yet people are still saying, 'i cant install apps from google play'
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Heard this has to do with non-symmetrical pixels in the display itself; not rom related or correctable. Also noticeable in stock FireOS.

[Fire Original Android Development] glate:
For all of the people with Google services issues (Play Games seems to come up a lot) wouldn't it be easiest to use the gapps-config.txt option with opengapps to include PlayGames with pico/nano?
[Fire Original Android Development] BoulderGeek:
I have done that, with the linked pico GApps zip from OP.

It does not fix the framework, for me. YMMV.

I had no issue on 12/10. I'm sure it will be fixed at some future date.
[Fire Original Android Development] Webern:
Stuff that's broken probably needs to go in the first few posts. It's a bit much to expect people who're just trying this rom out now to wade through 2000 posts to see if there's a fix.

[Fire Original Android Development] Chema_F:
I got the app I were after but that was not the matter, the matter were the automatic updates from the Play Store.

Never mind anyway. I think all this about certain apps is going off topic and is making the development thread hard to be followed.

Odd behavior. .. After installing an app I have a link on the desktop. Then I move the app to SD card. App still works, but after a reboot the app is no longer on the desktop. I have to go to app drawer to launch it or drag it to desktop again. But even after dragging to desktop again, after reboot it is gone again.

Another thing I noticed, is if you have privacy gaurd enabled for an app and change settings, then move to SD card or back to tablet, the settings are lost..as if privacy gaurd was never enabled.
