Ok I fixed the camera picture rotation problem.

Will look into the connectivity - I have loaded another phone with the ROM and will be keeping a close eye on it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] siddharth_bhal:
I think I bricked my phone. I downloaded AOSP image and then did factory Reset ( Wipe).

Thereafter I started flashing the kernel zip file which never finished. Now when I reboot my phone, I can only observe bootloader screen with amazon logo. Its not going into safestrap recovery as well.

Is there any way to recover from this?

I think my downloaded AOSP kernel file was corrupted and now phone is stuck in loop in trying to boot corrupted image.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
It's possible your terminology is off (or I'm just misunderstanding.) Are you at the stock recovery screen? Is there a option to "apply update from ADB"??

If so I think you might be ok. Unfortunately I've never been in that predicament and not sure I'd be of much use. I'm thinking you need to try and flash a stock image then start over again. I'm sure someone will come along and be able to help. Or you can sift through the Q&A section and see if there's an answer.

***BTW--we don't have any custom kernels for this phone. My guess is you flashed the wrong zip. Hopefully it's fully recoverable. Good luck.

New Build is Up

- Dated 25 Feb 2016

- Change log on Post #2

- Backup your apps and settings via Titanium, dirty flash may not work for this update because of the large number of framework changes.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Thanks! Missed your post probably because I was anxious to update. I dirty flashed and not experiencing any issues but we'll see. Wiped dalvik/cache afterward.
[Amazon Fire Phone] d0ga:
I just tried, its on reboot page where colors are moving? how to fix it?

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
If you were upgrading try wiping dalvik and cache or for fresh install factory reset. Both options from Safestrap
[Amazon Fire Phone] EzzBMTH:
The camera works with apps like Snapchat? Just for that I do not use CM11
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Try it and let me know
[Amazon Fire Phone] Tommes24:
I've flashed the new build kk-fire-nexus-rom-kodiak-20160225.zip

I came from Stock Rom.

Before flashing, I've wiped Cache/Dalvik & System, but it stucks in Boot-Animation.

I must do a Factory Reset in Stock Recovery.

It's fine Rom, but is it possible to swap the Buttons on bar like 'back', 'Home' ... ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Install Xposed Framework then find a module that can do that. I'm sure one exists.
[Amazon Fire Phone] farazafs:
Try to work on MIUI, It'll be appreciable.

As discussed with madushan1000 regarding bootloader Unlock for purpose of porting MIUI he said:

"There are MIUI ROMs based on KK right? You should be able to build an MIUI ROM based on GGOWs CM11 ROM without any kernel modification. "
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I won't be working on MIUI, [MENTION=5143031]madushan1000[/MENTION] is correct

- Just following their instructions it should be possible with my build of CM-11 or now even the AOSP build.

- I prefer working with with the Kernel, HAL, and android stack in source code
[Amazon Fire Phone] tonochito:
is any big difference between this rom and cm11?

For weird it sounds i get more fast downloads speed with cm11 than the stock Fire OS... For example CM 11 11.80 mbps vs Fire OS 2.37 mbps
[Amazon Fire Phone] siddharth_bhal:
[MENTION=5924408]KLit75[/MENTION] thnaks. Flashing stock rom solved my issue. I was trying (Power button + Volume down) instead of (Power button + Volume up) to go to recovery.
[Amazon Fire Phone] farazafs:
I was tried too many time via PatchRom and via port from Nexus 5 MIUI ROM, LG G3 ROM, but no luck struck on bootloop :( that's why I was requested u. by the way can u please define me what is Kernel, HAL, and android stack in source code? and also is there is any chance of Amazon Fire OS bootloader unlock?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I think you are going about it the wrong way

- You don't need any ROMs from any other device to port MIUI

- You don't need an unlocked bootloader for MIUI either

- You need to follow the instructions on using the Patch ROM tools

- I looked into the bootloader of the early FireOS 3.x.x versions and 4.6.1 and it looks very buttoned down

- That's not to say it isn't possible - time will tell.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Gravitybox kk is the one you want. There's tons of customization options.
[Amazon Fire Phone] madushan1000:
Hi, So a researcher has published a bootloader unlock and a trustzone exploit on msm8974 devices and it looks like at least the trustzone exploit part is applicable on firephones with older fireos versions (3.x.x). And this might give a way to a probable bootloader unlock. Follow this comment thread on his blog (https://bits-please.blogspot.com/20...showComment=1455163670946#c752939151005362634). I'm waiting for his tool to be released so I can test if the trustzone exploit also runs on fireos 4.6.3, but I doubt it would. Or someone is brave enough to try to downgrade the trustzone only. (If you downgrade aboot, the phone definitely bricks)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Krometaylor:
Snapchat camera :(

Flashed the rom and hope it would have fixed me not being able to use snapchat or even having a good camera experience but still no luck, has anyone found a way to make the snapchat camera work :( :crying:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
As explained in the CM-11 thread this issue is not easily fixable
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Been using this as my daily driver for 6 days. Since dirty flashing the 2/25 update I've had zero crashes. Just a fast and stable experience. IMHO I think this is the best ROM (feels weird sayn it because both come from the same dev).

Aside from wanting to give positive feedback, I feel like this ROM isn't getting enough acknowledgement, or at least people are keeping their thoughts on the dl. CM 11 is a really solid ROM. I just prefer aosp.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
Yeah this is true battery usage is simply amazing
[Amazon Fire Phone] alexwontlose:
Hi i tried the ROM too today. And I am getting connectivity issues too. German Fire Phone, it seems that the apns are missing.

[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- Yes for now you need to add the APN manually in the settings

- I'll resolve this before the next Release.
[Amazon Fire Phone] alexwontlose:
Ah okay. So I'll write them down from my cm11 ROM and try again later.

[Kernel/Root] Root for the SM-G360T1 5.1.1

what's AOSP mean?
[Amazon Fire Phone] henningspruth:
AOSP means "Android Open Source Project". Its the original base from which all Android releases are created. An AOSP ROM typically has no added features (which some call "bloat"), which often is beneficial for responsiveness and battery life.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Sn33z3x:
excuse me. how to install this rom correctly? i have safestrap installed. any bug or problem in this rom?

Previously i own a s3 and used to flash roms freely bc i can boot into twrp anytime with buttons. recently i read that someone lost his safestrap recv. I 'm so scared if my phone brick :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Hmm, it says Open Gapps Nano is included which should have calendar and such, but this install was very bare bones for me. Perhaps pico is the bundled gapps?

Edit: My mistake, I was looking at the loadout for 5.1 apparently.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I think some people don't understand what they're getting with aosp. The answer is really a clean slate which is great for people who like to customize everything (need xposed). I reccomend starting with gravitybox for all sorts of tweaks. I've tested nearly all of them on this ROM and so far no issues. Some of the other mods are really just performing customizations already available with gravitybox so I like to start there. A few others I use are YouTube adaway, YouTube background playback, and xposed torch. Technically you can configure torch in gravity box but I don't think you can assign it to a hardware key.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
so you said if you're not tech known how... stay away.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adeebulrehman:
Please Guide for installation on slot 2.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
The guide would say not to use the other slots. They do not work correctly.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
If that's a question directed at me I wouldn't say "stay away". If someone's curious about aosp and xposed I'd encourage them to try it. Of course this is xda. I wouldn't try to get my Facebook friends to flash any ROMs or even root their phones.

ALWAYS have a backup on hand.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ponghclub:
i recognize your name from fireTV forum you have more knowledge in tech how to do it. l'm just remind people like me have no idea how to do it anyway it their choice. I will try it if i screw up i can go back to cm11.

differences

Is there any important chances or differences vs the cm11 rom for fire phone?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
ggow bought a new laptop probably because the old one was pushed to its limit building these ROMs we enjoy :)

Let's try to reimburse him for his purchase or give him the means to upgrade the ram, or install the fastest the processor. Think of it as an investment. You profit from his work and the better tools he possesses, the more likely you are to profit:good:

I'm sure lots of people are getting paid tomorrow. MANY small donations add up to big $$$$

Very cool rom and way much better than stock. I played with it for a few hours, and found one bug -- the camera got frozen up in non-camera apps that utilize the camera, two apps I tried are Target cartwheel and wechat. I am wondering if this could be fixed in future release, thanks for the great work!
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
The in-app camera usage issue is "simple" to explain but extremely hard to resolve:

This "bug" exists since day 1,

all

custom ROMs for the Fire Phone suffer from it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Anyone notice a discrepancy between measured mobile data and your actual usage? I just checked and it said I Android OS used 168 mb between Feb 26-March 4. Its not a ridiculous amount by any means but I'm usually conscious of any activity that eats data like watching videos. I don't recall using it for that nor doing a lot of web browsing. (Could be mistaken though).

Anyway, if yours is reading higher than expected let me know. I'm 99% sure its either a mistake on my part or just an inaccurate reading. Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] SuperT.A.:
Is this ROM stable enough for daily use?
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I've had a good experience since Feb 25. But you may want to hold off. You need to setup mobile data manually. I've had issues texting pics. ggow said he'll release an update with preconfigured mobile soon.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
No wonder you didn't find his posts, reason: using the mobile app. :laugh:

You gotta have at least a 25" @ 1440p monitor to get things done around here. ;)

Flashed this yesterday, I notice that every time the phone boots up my cell signal is dead and it only comes back up after I toggle the phone in and out of flight mode, also when holding down on a misspelt word in what's app, when I choose a selection from the drop down list, the entire app crashes every time. Does anyone else get this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] rster:
I use it as my working phone/rom with no problems - and with Xposed, it is doing everything I want.

I just want to congratulate you for your great work
[Amazon Fire Phone] mhill1986:
Having a bit of trouble with a few things. Bluetooth is going in and out in my car. Also, navigation goes a little haywire in Google Maps. It seems like the compass or GPS gets off by a few streets. This problem is intermittent. When I switch back to Slimkat, these issues go away. Other than that, I love how smoothly all my apps run on this ROM. Pretty much no crashes. Sorry if my report isn't too helpful, but just wanted to share my experience.
[Amazon Fire Phone] alexwontlose:
Somebody got a good equalizer for this ROM to recommend?

From Fire Phone with Fire Nexus ROM using Tapatalk
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
ViPER4Android FX v2.4.0.1 (Android 4.0~6.0) download @ MediaFire

Some may prefer Atmos, I think this one does just fine. It sounds warmer and almost voluminous, less tinny / flat... Download, let app install the driver, reboot, done.

edit: Whoops, sorry, forgot to mention that "Stericson" busybox is recommended. I'm sure you've heard of it. Just install the free version and you should be good to go.

You can remove the Stericson app after successfully installing busybox. I usually install busybox via flashable zip, since it doesn't need to be updated that often. ;)

I tried Dolby Atmos just now, well, not much difference, but I had to lower the volume on my media player (MX Player) because there was more distortion although the EQ was almost flat.

With the "rich" preset and lowered volume it was usable as well but not really superior compared to V4A FX.

If you're adventurous, you can check out this collection of viper mods (for KK), shared by 'guitardedhero'.

Even with Busybox it's not working :(

From Fire Phone with Fire Nexus ROM using Tapatalk
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I had the same problems as the poster below. The easy fix was just flash viper with no busybox installed. It worked for me. I thought this rom had busybox preinstalled but it was just an assumption on my part. ...Oh. Just reread your post. Is that right? You can install then uninstall busybox? Maybe thats why i got it working...
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
About the install / uninstall: yes and no. ;)

The busybox "APK" (e.g. from Stericson) is just an installer / updater / manager for the actual busybox binary, but the binary is mandatory for a number of apps to work (Kernel Adiutor ❤️).

IIRC, the ROM had busybox 1.22 (non Stericson) already integrated...

I updated my post (#95), all working properly on Fire Nexus ROM. Make sure busybox gets installed in "./system/xbin" and that's it...

There could be half a dozen other reasons why it's not working but I won't start speculating since I don't know anything about your system config, etc. ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] alexwontlose:
Which SuperSU do you got installed? I am on 2.65. Some users in the viper thread mentioned to use a older version.

Also on 2.65, installed via flashable zip. I never had to downgrade to 2.46, etc. The SuperSU 2.65 and Stericson BB 1.24.1 combo worked for me on Android L devices as well.

Can i use cams in 3rd apps like camera360, QR scanner,...? I'm using Slimkat and some app does not compatible with cam so they can not use it.

And does this rom has any unique features? Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
I already explained it precisely in the other post...

NO custom ROM for the Fire Phone can use those apps. The problem is not the ROM itself, there is no source code available for the custom HAL, so the cause for all those apps not working properly is located "deeper". Please stop asking the same questions over and over, thank you. ^^

Unique features? This is AOSP.

The "unique" thing about it: it contains only the bare minimum OS features / apps.

The user is in charge of making it unique, so it can accommodate his needs. ;)

[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
The sideways pic issue was fixed with the first update awhile ago. I'm still using snap camera and it works as it should on any fire phone custom rom. As for lollipop, that's a very tall order and one that's been addressed many times. Post #107 (just a couple above yours) beautifully illustrates the problems that are faced fixing the camera, updating to a newer android version, etc.

Tried to install the rom but phone rebooted during install for some reason. Now I have lost safestrap and phone only boots to amazon logo and goes no farther.

Is it bricked?? Can I save it???
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Safestrap is still there I assume... but it is indeed useless when the device stops already at the boot logo.

Bricked? Soft-bricked at best, since it left you hanging with an unfinished installation process.

Guess you need to start from scratch, this thread explains how to get back to stock so you can try again: http://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/help/cm-11-to-fire-os-question-t3198620

You will find most of the info you'll need, like ADB setup, factory image sideloading, etc. Don't download an older firmware image, download the same version you had previously installed.

If you don't have much experience with ADB, read the post(s) from DePingus in the above mentioned thread, it explains the process in great detail... although you had SlimKat successfully installed, so I hope you will be able to recover your phone. ;)

Miui 7 for kitkat port?

I know it's unrelated to the topic, but I was wondering if it's possible to port miui7 kitkat to firephone? I am not familiar with the porting process but I think there are a few good guides out there which i can follow to port miui 7. For now I know that Xiaomi 3 has the same chipset as firephone with a snapdragon 800 with krait 400 and adreno 330. Just wanted to know if it's at all possible or would it be a fool's errand? Thanks!:D
