Does it help to let you know that i flashed the rom to Slot-1 instead of Stock Slot? May be that had to do something. BTW why doesn't Sim work when flashed on any slot except Stock slot?

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
That will be why. Shouldn't use the additional slot numbers. Only use the stock slot.

I'm using Google Contacts on the web for the time being...

A bit awkward, and I will likely switch back to the CM ROM for various reasons.

The MM boot animation is on point though & clean Android is always fresh!

BUT....

Switching between 3G, HSPA, and LTE is SLOW.

Quick Settings in the Navigation pane is instrumentally more functional in CM 11 over 4.4.4

People app(to be fixed)

With Xposed: GravityBox is the only module I activate and it does what I need it do in your CM11 ROM.

As for testing this ROM, I'll give it a few more days and report if I notice any additional hiccups.
[Amazon Fire Phone] DigitaL BlisS:
First off, thank you for this ROM! (And all the work you do for our phone).

It's been a great experience so far, but I was wondering if there was any way to add the auto rotate pane to the quick settings menu... or customize it all for that matter? Can't seem to find in settings.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ferolac:
the only way to do is through gravity box. download it from xposed
[Amazon Fire Phone] Awesomeslayerg:
I'm getting a fire phone this week as a backup temp phone whenever my daily driver is fudged. I'll be trying out this ROM and hopefully provide some helpful info about the camera
[Amazon Fire Phone] blackroseblade:
The default Google contacts app has still not been restored?

I'm extremely hesitant to use third party apps, we just heard about TrueDialer hack couple of months ago.

Looks like I'll be stuck on february patch for another month.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Surmisation:
Anyone else having problems accessing "Ok Google" settings?

I press the option but no response.

Issue is present on both CM11 & the Nexus ROM.

It's eating up my battery.

WORKAROUND: [MENTION=5108601]Saix_XIII[/MENTION] provided a great workaround.

It requires you have Nova Launcher installed.

Then through Nova's Settings > Gestures & Input

There is an "Ok Google" toggle along with the Option to Confirm settings in the Google App.

New Build is Up

- Dated 03 Jun 2016

- Add auto configuration of APN

- Add selective APN

- Add AOSP contacts app

EDIT:

- Could someone test that APN now sets itself up correctly?

- I tested it with my 3 network SIM card and seemed to work fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
I personally don't see any issue by not having the AOSP contacts in the FW.

As a solution I can suggest using the True Phone app. I'm totally satisfied with it and can only recommend it to anyone.

Enjoy your hacks.

[Amazon Fire Phone] chrisasgard:
The news is from 2013?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Exactly. It seems, blackroseblade either doesn't read or doesn't understand what he's posting.
[Amazon Fire Phone] chrisasgard:
Ive installed it today on my fire phone. I'm on german provider "Aldi Talk/Medion Mobile" that uses the E-Plus network. All worked fine now. APN set up itself, all i have to do was to delete my self created APN and than reset the APN defaults. Than all the APN's that my network uses came up automatically. Thanks [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

Still have the issue that app is crashing by touching the auto correct suggestion :/

You got your new notebook now? :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes I have my laptop back but not fully up and running yet. Hardware wise it seems good so far.
[Amazon Fire Phone] blackroseblade:
My point is, that 3rd party apps will always fundamentally be more vulnerable and insecure than Google's own. True Software does not run a 5,000 dollar/exploit bounty program like Google.

The best apps to use are always the ones most secure and the most secure apps are traditionally always Google's own.

battery life

What a smooth and lean rom, thanks again, [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]. The phone works very well, except one little issue. Technically, it's not a issue, just the battery. I noticed that the google play services consumes about 15%-17% of the total power consumption. Is that normal? the battery usage details is in attached screenshot.

Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Google play services is one of those things that's drains the battery more than it should and probably one of the most popular topics in android. I have seen bigger percentages in use so it that may be correct. Maybe a couple of other can chime in with more useful info.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
New Build is Up

- Dated 09 June 2016

- June 2016 Security Patch Level
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
As an elitist microG user, I scoff at your inconvenience. :laugh:

But honestly: some people in the CM-11 thread were also complaining about higher battery consumption from Play services recently. So I guess everyone affected is using Google Play services 9.0.83?

Maybe it's a rotten egg again, so maybe stay at the previous version until there's an update which hopefully works better again on a KK device.

Even if you had a combination of apps, that were to trigger a lot of alarms, push notifcations, etc. this amount is (seems) above average.

It would have been nice to know, how much time and resources the Play services used, since the battery history doesn't look that dramatic. ^^
[Amazon Fire Phone] Areed King:
So which version of google play services do you recommend? Or just any previous version? Currently my phone is running with 9.0.82, which is the original one in ggow's rom.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Hm, the last time I had them on a test installation, it was 'Google Play services 8.7.03' back from April, so I can't vouch for the 9.0.x versions. The 8.x was working "fine".

Are you experienced in replacing those files? Since you can leave the rest, like Play services framework, etc.

After you replaced the Play services as a system app, use any file explorer with root access and go to: "/data/app" and create two new, empty folders titled 'com.google.android.gms-1.apk' and 'com.google.android.gms-2.apk'.

This will act as a placeholder to avoid auto updates until the problem is fixed.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Areed King:
Okay, since ggow just released an update, I'll flash that one first and observe. If the issue still exist, I'll try the version you suggested. Thanks.

Haven't tried to replace google services with older version yet, can I just using root explorer to replace the file or using TB to first uninstall the current version and install the older one?:confused:
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Look up the system folder path and exact filename with TB.

All connections offline.

Freeze with TB, delete data & uninstall.

After that move the "new" old Play services to the designated path from "step 1".

Hopefully, you won't need to do all that... :fingers-crossed:

(Maybe post detailed stats after ~ 12h of usage... ^^)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Areed King:
Got it, thanks.:good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] k_Nightmare:
Hi everyone

Hi, i'm currently using this ROM and it's working smoothly.

I'm new at this subject and i realized something, it seems the button for the camera does nothing, it only works to take pictures once you're inside a camera app.

So i was wondering if there's any way to give another function to this button like open up the camera app or something like that.

I appreciate all the effort you guys are throwing for this project, lots of thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Areed King:
press the button and hold it for 2 seconds, the camera app will run. I'm using snap camera, don't know if this works for other apps.
[Amazon Fire Phone] k_Nightmare:
Tried to do this and the phone vibrates, but does not open the camera, i'm using open camera right now. Tried to use Google Camera but it chrashes when yow switch to video. I will install snap camera to see if it works.

Thanks!

EDIT: Works like a charm, thanks for the advice!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Areed King:
After flashing the updated rom, the problem seems disappeared. Don't know why, but the battery life is perfect!:D
[Amazon Fire Phone] Pcsx2006:
My front cam doesn't work sometimes after latest update of the ROM I tried many camera apps but same thing happening.

BTW this is great ROM fast & clean.
[Amazon Fire Phone] optikkboom:
For me, the ROM is also not flashing.

Safestrap 4.0.1 installed, I flashed Cyanogenmod before successfully.

Edit: False alarm! There was just no loading animation and I wasn't patient enough. It flashed successfully after waiting about 5 minutes. I am excited to try it out, thanks ggow
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Is anyone else having the same problem with the camera?
[Amazon Fire Phone] k_Nightmare:
I'm using Snap Camera Ver. 8.0.4 and it works great.

First time i installed the trial one, when you switch to the front cammera it crashed, so i uninstalled, got this version, reinstalled, reboot and voila!

Hope it works for you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ipdev:
Open Camera starts fine, can switch to front cam. When switching back to rear cam, it gives error message that it is in use by another app. Eventually it will switch back to the rear cam.

If I run Snap Camera and close it, then Open Camera works fine.

Snap Camera (Trial version) First failed to connect to camera. It connected as soon as I dismissed the error message. Seems to work fine.

After reboot Open Camera gives the same error until I start and close Snap Camera again.

Snap Camera seems to works fine after reboot.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Snap Camera Pro seems to be working fine for me
[Amazon Fire Phone] ipdev:
Camera MX works well also. (No problems so far. I'm back on the cm build.)
[Amazon Fire Phone] Pcsx2006:
OK after factory reset I installed snap camera it's working fine.

One another problem copying stuff from internal storage to PC is very slow like 1~2mbps, I changed cables and PC but same problem

finally Thx for u r great ROM im one of u r fans i download each update >> thx a lot man go a head :) :o :o :) :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
if you already applied the settings to Snap Camera, like this:

and this one:

and it's still not good enough, then I'm sorry, that's all we have for now.

There's no need to ask for updates or an ETA in general, it's not very polite. Especially the camera integration is highly complex and there is no way to work around it (for now, maybe ever).
[Amazon Fire Phone] Pcsx2006:
Anyway we can enable USB OTG on this firmware?

[Amazon Fire Phone] Duchman:
Limited camera functionality is a well-known issue affecting all custom ROMs for this device and can't be fixed at this time. Camera works with some apps, but most of the time you will be out of luck.
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] Maybe you could add this to the OP

Added the table from the CM-11 OP to this OP of this thread.

Questions

Hello I'm new to the Amazon fire phone and I'm just wondering on this ROM how's the Google Play compatibility? What does it show up as in Google play? Also does anyone know if Snapchat doesn't work at all or just the camera itself doesn't work within?

[Amazon Fire Phone] Brandon4466:
GAPPS is included in the ROM file?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yes, it always has been.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Just as a suggestion: maybe for AOSP ROM it makes sense to include the smallest Gapps version - pico Gapps? Or even better - allow people to use those they want (pico, nano, etc. ) and flash them separately?

Anyway - many thanks for an excellent ROM ! :):)

Is there any chance to get the next ROM update to be able to toggle on/off the mobile data by single tap on the network icon in the quick settings, instead current long way of going to the menu, switching the on/off there, then going back. (in case data off - it additionally requires to confirm the action "are you sure you want to switch mobile data off?")
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
You can use gravitybox through the Xposed framework to modify the Quick Settings Tiles list.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Nope.

All that it can do - to choose either to go to the settings menu on short or on long tap. It doesn't allow to toggle mobile data right there in the quick settings. Actually, this is the first ROM where I see this behavior.

(well, I found a stupid workaround, but I don't like it hence it overcomplicates the thing - I found a simple programm to toggle mobile data on/off and added it to the Custom apps tile in the Gravitybox on the Quick settings. But again, it's not elegant and excessive. :( )
[Amazon Fire Phone] Awais Bhatti:
Hi all, I am new here

I just flash the latest build but it takes too long and not flash completely. I put my fire phone off, now how to enter into recovery mode

Help please
[Amazon Fire Phone] mhill1986:
Just hold down home, volume up, and power to enter recovery mode. My advice is to flash again and wait longer. For some people, the AOSP rom takes a LONG time to flash. Be patient. If it has been more than an hour, then you know it's not working. :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] meandarm:
Yo does snapchat work now?.... or not?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Awais Bhatti:
Install this rom successfully. Great experience
[Amazon Fire Phone] acethical:
Excited! Thanks for the update, all worked propriety.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Awais Bhatti:
How about the themes?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
One more thing (pretty standard in other android phones) would be nice to have in the next release of the firmware - bluetooth tethering. Missing it in Fire, hence used to use it regularly to share the internet with my tablet. BT is way more battery-friendly than organizing a wifi hotspot...

this rom brick my fire phone ..please any one let me know the reason what i did wrong ..i just simply install it through safestrap recovery

Just boot into Amazon's stock recovery and side load the stock 4.6.6.1 .bin file

That should get you up and running again
[Amazon Fire Phone] tahanaqvi:
thnx ..i did it already but why is this rom is not installing in my fire phone?? currently i am running cyanegenmod 11
[Amazon Fire Phone] FariF:
I am really loving this rom -Awesome job and thank you very much.

For me seems everything is working on my firephone . For camera I installed a bit older Google Camera v. 2.5.052

and is working perfectly, You can get it from sites like apkpure link below:

https://apkpure.com/google-camera/c...etails/version&fid=c/APK/264/010ad3f90219a5e3

I have not tried other versions of google camera.

Also for messaging I am using Google messenger directly downloaded from play store instead of the default app my MMS was not working properly with the built in SMS app but it may have been just my provider not sure. now everything works superbly and battery life is very good too. thanks again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
The last version (as of 13.08.16) of the ROM doesn't support 5 MHz WLAN. Is there any chance, the 5 MHz band will be fixed in the future?
[Amazon Fire Phone] pitchdarkice:
Just switched to Fire Nexus from stock 4.6.6.

I use it as an offline music/video device. So there is no sim card in the phone.

Battery drain in Airplane mode. Pretty much all the battery usage from "Cell Standby". Which should be off if we are in Airplane mode. Lost about 90% in about 15hrs. Didn't experience this issue with the stock ROM.

Thoughts?
[Amazon Fire Phone] voluptuary:
First, great ROM, love it!

Second, I also have the battery drain with no sim even when airplane mode is on.

Third, Google Camera works great on this ROM with the exception of it crashing when you try to take a picture with HDR on. I know HDR is a known issue but would it be possible to do something like in this ROM and add a wrapper to disable the HDR altogether?

Aside from that this ROM is basically perfect ? good work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I've started to integrate the September security updates from Google, so will look into this before release.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Are you running with gapps installed?

I did a clean install without gapps, SuperSU and no sim installed and the battery life was great
[Amazon Fire Phone] pitchdarkice:
Yes, it was a clean install. I am running with the base fire nexus ROM in your first post, which I believe includes the gapps-nano? In the battery usage informational screen, at the top was Cell Standby.

Other apps installed, Amazon underground, Amazon Instant Video, Amazon Prime music. Other than that I haven't done much to it.

Great job on the ROM though, you are keeping the fire phone alive for many of us =).
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Sorry, I was thinking about the wrong ROM. Failed context switch ?

I'll try to reproduce it on the coming week.
[Amazon Fire Phone] pitchdarkice:
No problem, its understandable, you have developed so many ROMs for the FP. Thanks for looking into it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] david0858:
Thanks for the ROM. It took about 5 or 10 minutes to get it going after I read this thread. It turned my $30 Fire phone that had been thrown into a drawer after we no longer needed it as a hot spot (what we had bought it for) into a great, upscale phone just at the time my old phone died and I needed one. :o

I put Google camera on it yesterday after I got the ROM going but all it had was a camera, no video and the camera was very basic. I tried several others including Open Camera, nothing but Google worked. I tried Open Camera again today and now it works great. A good camera was the last thing I needed to finish the phone for my needs.

Once again, thanks, You've saved me a lot of money and I have a lot better phone than I could have afforded. I love the pared down OS and Google.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
For all those having problems to connect to 5 GHz WiFi - I have found a way to enable the channels above 56.

Solution:

the file

\system\etc\wifi\WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

should be changed so that the variable gEnableDFSChnlScan=1 (by default it's set to 0)

I opened this bug in the bug report, but now it can be closed. (though the problem of very slow wifi speed in 5GHz band still remains).

[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Hmmm.. After upgrading to this new version by using the dirty flash (over the previous version from 13.08), then re-install the Xposed - now every reboot it goes over "andriod is upgarding" - optimizing apps, so a restart of the phone now takes several minutes. :(

Weird.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cetorr:
I got the same thing.

For the rest the rom is fine! Everything works.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Hackashaq:
Several people had same problem with the latest cm11 release for fire phone. Using an older version of open Gapps fixed it. I am using July 31 micro open gapps with latest cm11 for fire phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
This is one more reason to separate the ROM itself from the Gapps - and distribute the ROM only. Anyone, who needs Gapps will then need to install the Gapps version as he likes it: nano, pico, full, etc. And from any date.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cetorr:
Thanks, will try that.

One more question: I cannot get Google Duo to work. It says that the camera can't open or is in use. Is this the camera bug that's stated in the OP? I've installed OpenCamera, and that works.

Thanks!
[Amazon Fire Phone] voluptuary:
Is this update any better with battery drain without a SIM?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Avays Aly Mirza:
Best rom.

This rom is awesome!! I flashed it today and it is working quite nice and to that bug that snapchat and camera not working is not true, my snapchat is working great and yes there are few bugs in camera regarding to switching to front facing camera otherwise everything is working marvelously. Real appreciation to the developers of this rom hats off to your work i hope that in future you keep giving these efforts for us and this rom gave new life to my fire phone. Thaaaaank youuuuuu!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I have reproduced the issue and will be working on a fix in the coming week.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Great! Thanks! Look forward for a fix. And I (as well as all others here) really appreciate your work and efforts! MANY THANKS!

P.S.: On the other hand, the issue is not that important or critical. :) It may sure wait till the next regular ROM update, e.g. due to the security patches, etc. We are not in a hurry. :) I usually restart my phone 2-3 times a month.
