Shouldn't system be flashed too? Factory reset doesn't wipe system.

Edit: Screen went black and will not turn on while flashing. Help?! I've already wiped everything? What to do?

Edit2: Nevermind, booted into CM. Aroma installer may have crashed it?
[Fire Original Android Development] Sulinjr:
I ran into this problem as well and resolved it by flashing Xposed.zip and installing the Xinternalsd.apk. Now all larger apps I have run off my 64GB Micro SD card! It can be a bit tedious but well worth it! Just do research and you'll be fine. ☺

On another note I've just been trying to figure out if L Speed Mod is compatible with CM12 and if it affects Xposed or any other system modification? Anyone?

I am on the December 10 PM build, and I don't know how Privacy Guard works for root, as I forgot to install SuperSU. How do you use Privacy Guard for root? Thanks!
[Fire Original Android Development] mmurphmsu:
If I remember right, you set root access in Developer Options.
[Fire Original Android Development] Vlasp:
I set Root access to "Apps only" but Titanium Backup doesn't see the root.
[Fire Original Android Development] mmurphmsu:
Maybe try booting back into recovery and flash SuperSU.
[Fire Original Android Development] Vlasp:
The earliest I can do that is in 1.5 hours. Maybe a reboot will fix it before then.
[Fire Original Android Development] k4y0z:
When root-access was completely disabled a reboot is required to start the su-daemon.
[Fire Original Android Development] Vlasp:
Yeah, a reboot fixed it. Tapatalk servers were down so I couldn't update it earlier. Thanks!

[Fire Original Android Development] storkpkp:
I have CM 12 installed now on my Fire. Do I need to worry about Amazon OTA updates? I still have Wifi off just in case until I confirm.

I already got burned with 5.1.1 and had to get a refurb unit.

TIA
[Fire Original Android Development] ilfred019845:
If you have CM flashed then it won't do a Amazon OTA.
[Fire Original Android Development] tonyf7:
That's what I'm in the process of doing now. When I got my Fire and connected to WiFi it updated to 5.1.1. I ordered a replacement which should come in tmrw but it's going to be a refurbished unit.

What condition was your refurb in? Did it look like new or was it apparent that it's been used?
[Fire Original Android Development] storkpkp:
Mostly it was like new. The back had a couple of minor minor scuffs. Overall, it was nothing that won't happen with normal use. Kinda sucks, but for $35 and being able to run this ROM it was worth it.
[Fire Original Android Development] jayjr1105:
Anyone else not able to install google play games? No rush on a fix, it just doesn't let you login to games with your google account for progress/settings, etc.

Thanks for the great work! Amazing we have a rom this stable so early in the game.

New Build is Up

- Dated 11 Dec 2015

- Change log on Post #2

- Just tested Play Movies/TV - worked for me

- If someone could test that SuperSU doesn't break init.d and report back that would be cool
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- Install an older version from apkmirror then update from playstore
[Fire Original Android Development] k4y0z:
init.d looks good with and without SuperSU :)
[Fire Original Android Development] je66b:

The glitch where the screen turns off seems to happen when I have google music playing with controls in the notification tray as well as plex, is this just me then? can anyone play some music in google play music and pull the notification bar down to try and change tracks?
[Fire Original Android Development] fmc000:
So, after today's release, is there something still missing?
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- have you found an issue or know something is missing?
[Fire Original Android Development] rybaryba33:
Hi guys,

just a few questions as I wanted to try this rom, but not sure if it ticks all the boxes for me:

- Does is support Polish language? (Fire rom doesnt)

- Can I go back to Fire stock rom if I don`t like CM?

Thanks
[Fire Original Android Development] fmc000:
Actually yes, a very minor issue I posted here.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- I don't know what rom functionality is so don't know if it should be possible or not

- Also not sure whether the lack of phone functionality influences this
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
Yes and yes ☺
[Fire Original Android Development] rybaryba33:
Great news! How can I go back? Is it as simple as using restore to default?
[Fire Original Android Development] fmc000:
Usually with CM12.1 the three lockscreen shortcuts are dialer on the left, unlock in the center and camera on the right. Obviously on the fire the left one is blank.

In the settings / lockscreen (or something like that, I have the tablet set to Italian) you can customize which shortcuts you like to have on your device but when you tap and hold on the phone icon (the left shortcut) it shows no other options. I don't have CM on my phone so I don't remember which shortcuts should be available, maybe someone else can chime in.

But, as I said in my original post, it's a very minor and mostly cosmetic issue.
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
-You can just boot into stock recovery and sideload the fireos bin update file

- Just be sure not to flash the latest one if you decide to go back
[Fire Original Android Development] ilfred019845:
Go to settings/lock screen/ lock screen shortcuts and you can set it that way.

If you want to set a specific app make sure to choose apps and it will let you pick one of your apps.
[Fire Original Android Development] BoulderGeek:
After playing with this for a couple of hours, one exception that I found is that I can't install Google Play Games apk. It downloads, but fails out with an Error -505.

Anyone else unable to install Google Games?

Games which don't require that framework are fine. Not a space issue.
[Fire Original Android Development] fmc000:
I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear but that's exactly what I'm doing and it doesn't show me any options to choose from.
[Fire Original Android Development] l.m.prowse:
Can confirm that Play Movies works fine now! Thanks :D
[Fire Original Android Development] switchy85:
Maybe try a clean flash? I'm able to change mine with no issues. Got the left set to chrome beta and right to Reddit sync.
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
I downloaded the latest google play games apk from here

https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?id=com.google.android.play.games

and was able to sideload it with adb. Interestingly, once I sideloaded it, I am able to update it from the play store.

Also was able to sideload google news and weather apk, using apk downloader.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget&hl=en

One issue I have is I am unable to get Teamviewer Host to work, since it tries to download an addon TeamViewerQSAddon, which fails to install. If I try to sideload it, I get the following error message.

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_INSTALL_LOCATION]. Not sure what this means, if it's trying to install to the sdcard or internal memory.
[Fire Original Android Development] pjsockett:
This comes up on near every page. Install the version on apkmirror and then upgrade in google play.
[Fire Original Android Development] fmc000:
Well, it turns out that there was no need. After a simple powercycle it started working. Sorry for the noise.
[Fire Original Android Development] cchant:
I tried to search the thread but couldn't find an answer but is this still an issue or has it been fixed? Thanks.
[Fire Original Android Development] professorpasta:
This is glorious. Absolutely glorious. You are the reason I just got 3 of them.
[Fire Original Android Development] ilfred019845:
It has been fixed. You do not have to be tethered any longer.
[Fire Original Android Development] blueberry.sky:
See the change log, post #2. It was fixed a day after initial release.

Your search-fu is particularly weak.

Roms will boot untethered now.

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Twrp (or any recovery) can still only be loaded tethered via USB to PC. This is due to the locked bootloader. This will not change unless / until we have safestrap (or somehow get the bootloader unlocked, very unlikely).
[Fire Original Android Development] TheHunterOfShadows:
Anyone get android auto to work? For me the car wont see it.
[Fire Original Android Development] jbombs16:
I'm having problems backing up to external SD card with titanium backup. Error message says insufficient storage but my card is only 30% full. Anyone else experience this?
[Fire Original Android Development] eigen:
How'd you install it? Store is saying it's incompatible.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
Try changing the file path to external sd in TB settings.
[Fire Original Android Development] jbombs16:
The path is currently on external. I can restore from external just can't write backups to it.
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
anyone try modifying the build.prop to increase play store compatibility? I tried modding mine to look like a nexus 7 but apparently it didnt work so well, didn't get any new apps in the play store. Shazam is one of the ones I noticed doesn't show in the store. I know I can download the apk and sideload, but I'd like to give a couple as gifts, and it would be easier if they didn't have to do any special tricks to be able to download certain apps.
[Fire Original Android Development] Awesomeslayerg:
Yay finally a stable build
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
hmmm...do you use any 'sd fix' apps?

I use xposed module called 'XinternalSD' and TB as well with no probs. Maybe try that or any other sd fixer app. I know there's several out there on the various appstores.

---------- Post added at 03:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

what gapps.zip did you flash?
[Fire Original Android Development] Sulinjr:
I'm curious, why do you feel this is so unlikely?
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
I flashed arm 5.1 mini 12 December 11, but that's I edited build.prop by hand using a text editor.
[Fire Original Android Development] Pond-life:
That's a bit odd as the Play store finds both Shazam apps on stock.
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
Oops; sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say, I can see the app, but play store won't let me download it. It says "your device isn't compatible with this version".
[Fire Original Android Development] Pond-life:
Hmm, ok, free version installs too on stock oh and it works too, it's changed a bit since I used it last, would have been a quicker reply but the lyrics thing mildly distracted me.

Any others to take a look at?
[Fire Original Android Development] blueberry.sky:
Other devices have locked bootloaders as well. The solution I think you see most often is safestrap. If they could unlock them, they would. Better solution since safestrap leaves the stock OS in place which takes up room. Like dual booting on a pc.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
I'm beginning to wonder if some peoples 'google incompatibility' issues may have something to do with their dpi settings...?

It's just kinda weird because I haven't had any issue at all downloading anything off of the play store or anywhere else for that matter.

My dpi is set to 180. What about yours?
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
Hm now that is interesting. I just left mine at stock 160. Well I just tried setting 180, no dice.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
btw I think dpi set to 180 looks way better than default 160
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
180 does look pretty nice. Shazam Encore also doesn't let me install, but interestingly SoundHound has no problems.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
also I've been using gapps 'pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315' which I've reflashed each time upgrading to latest build and have had no troubles at all fwiw anyways. I may try Shazam later/tomorrow and see if I can dl.

---------- Post added at 05:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 AM ----------

one more thought - what country are you in? I only ask because I know some apps have geo restrictions, so you can't download certain apps in certain countries.
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
TX, USA. Good point though, I should have mentioned that earlier. All of these apps are apps I already have downloaded on my other phones and tablets, so that shouldn't probably be an issue.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
yeah man idk..., [emoji53]

Do you reflash your gapps.zip upon each upgrade of CM?
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
Yeah every time I upgrade I format system, install CM and flash gapps.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
sucks, 'cause I just confirmed I can download it. I didn't complete the whole download but it did start dl'ing. What version play store and G play services are you on?

Only thing I can suggest is to use that gapps.zip in my comment above because I have had no such troubles as I've seen you and several others report about not being able to dl certain apps or having G play crash. Hope you get it sorted out either way [emoji41]
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
Will do, thanks. Good to see you can download it, maybe either its a setup issue on my tablet or an issue with my account. I have play store 6.0.5 and play services 8.4.89, but I'm going to try and do a wipe and install again and see if that helps, thanks for your help.
[Fire Original Android Development] Sulinjr:
I doubt its an issue with your account because I ran into the same thing with Google Play Games and Google Calendar. I just download and install the apk files manually. I'm willing to bet its an issue with gapps, just try a different version.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
looks like it may be your version of G play services that's the issue (8.4.89). I'm on 8.3.01. However we're on the same G play store v(6.0.5).

Perhaps downgrading your play services?

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

v 8.3.01 appears to work
[Fire Original Android Development] sam tyler:
Try SDFIX from play store. had the same problem with my fire tablet. it should fix your problem. there is another thread about the fire tablet called 'tips and tricks' it give's good info.
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
I tried pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315-signed, wiped data, new google account, none of that worked. But I tried this Market Helper app and set the signature to Tablet Nexus 7, and that did work! The setting is only temporary though, not persistent, and gets reset on every reboot. Now time to find something that is persistent.

[Fire Original Android Development] der-mali:
Awesome, now with the camera fully working!

Five Stars *****

One more thing (small detail):

maybe implement a possibility to show the date in the status bar next to the time, I had this for my old tablet on CM
[Fire Original Android Development] kramalot:
No problem here, latest play music updated from play store.
[Fire Original Android Development] TheHunterOfShadows:
Downloaded it from apkmirror and installed it.
[Fire Original Android Development] Ace42:
Using the 12-10-PM build still, everything I need works here so no need to update yet. I have a 32GB sd inside the Fire, then a 64GB (exFAT) connected via OTG with videos.

I'm going to use folder mount to move app data/obb to the 32GB, might try the xposed module later on.

Don't have any issues to report on, ROM seems rather stable to me and I haven't experienced any random reboots yet.
[Fire Original Android Development] duanim:
GGow thanks for a beautiful built .

I don't use the recovery twrp to flash the zip, I just use Flashfire from chainfire and works great even backup.

Open flashfire apk

On the plus+ right below click and give some option flash ota or zip file,

1- CM 12.1 zip file click or check mount and click on the sign check right on top corner

2- Slim gapps zip check mount and click on the sign check right on top corner

3- Super SU zip check mount and click on the sign check right on top corner

4- flash

Done

I did this every time that you had an update and works for me. If somebody want to do it in his own risk this is a suggestion.

I just change the DPI to 180 and looks great for me if its possible on the next update to have a resolution change between 160 to 180
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
This is the modified build.prop I've tried using, I think it looks ok but it doesn't seem to improve any of my play store app access. I renamed it to build.prop and chmod to 644. If I run the market helper app, it still detects my device as KFFOWI. I tried searching the entire rom for that string and can't find it. I don't know if it's detecting that string from the boot kernel maybe, in that case there's nothing I can modify and I have to use market helper every time I boot.
[Fire Original Android Development] Pond-life:
Might be silly question but you did reboot after changing it?

But kffowi isn't in original build prop anyway.

As the stock Ford rom seems able to download it fine though I'm not sure those parts need changing anyway. Maybe some change between the default Ford build prop and the cm version that you can revert.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
Ha! So it is possible. I assume because FlashFire is installed on data partition and not the system...no more needing pc to flash now. You said backup works...have you tried to restore anything yet?

[quote name="4t701" post=64234364]can I flash the latest CM via FlashFire?[/QUOTE]

guess that wasn't a stupid question afterall.

[quote name="Vlasp" post=64234513]No. FlashFire is meant for OS modifications, and if the whole OS is gone, there is no FlashFire. Xposed and GApps work because they modify 1 folder.

[Fire Original Android Development] case-sensitive:
First, thanks for the 12-11 built! It works beautifully.

I have on small feature request: When you have time and if possible, could you remove the phone/LTE etc related (system) apps? I freezed the three I could find, but system monitor still shows that there is a mobile data service running and I don't seem to be able kill it. It is no big deal, but given the limited amount of RAM/ROM of the device I thought (?) it might be useful to remove the unneeded services/apks.

This is clearly of low/no importance so take your time. THANKS!
[Fire Original Android Development] Webern:
Perhaps i'm missing something but i'm only able to install this using an sd card. I can fastboot twrp but i have no joy with adb sideload as it's not connected to a device and nothing i've tried fixes this. And I can't see the pc from TWRP so i can't source the images that way. And i can't stick them on the device itself if I do a factory reset. Or are you putting them on the device on the occasions when you're not doing a factory reset?
[Fire Original Android Development] sd_shadow:
factory reset in twrp does not wipe internal storage

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] The first post notes that keyboard sound is not adjustable but I am on the 12/11 build and I am able to adjust to a quieter sound than the default setting. There is a volume slider under AOSP keyboard settings in advanced, works for me.

Not sure If others have this issue or tried it but wps connect does not work.
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
Good to know and glad to hear.

[emoji106]
[Fire Original Android Development] blueberry.sky:
It's best to not use wps & turn it off in your router. The way wps is implemented in many popular routers is vulnerable to cracking (manufacturers are lazy morons). Also you may need to update your router's firmware. The wps software off switch is broken in the original firmware on some particular router models, setting the switch to off will say that it's "off" but in reality it does not turn wps off. Did I mention manufacturers are morons?
[Fire Original Android Development] archerymodz:
I needed wps as I had to reset my router, only had a Wi-Fi device beside me, don't have the default Wi-Fi password anymore and had to resetup my router.

So here's what I've tried so far to get shazam, google news, and other apps to show compatibility.

CM stock with 12/11 pico gapps - didn't work

[Fire Original Android Development] Pond-life:
Curiouser and curiouser, and the market helper was emulating the 2013 n7? We know it doesn't change the build prop do they give any clear indication of what it does do?
[Fire Original Android Development] alcuin:
From what I read, it disregards build.prop and sends the selected device info directly to the google play servers, registering it as said device. Build.prop is not modified, so on the next boot, the device resends the original build.prop info to the google play servers, reverting the changes and reregistering it as a cm/fire device. Market helper must be rerun afterwards. Wish I knew of a way to compare the info being sent with a modified build.prop and the info sent via market helper.
