That's awesome!

I've found one more thing: when opening Whatsapp Web (to use Whatsapp on the internet: https://web.whatsapp.com), the camera is not working properly. It cannot read the QR code. Can someone try it?

Don't know it's something that can be fixed, but it would be a lifesaver for me since I always used that :)

Thanks again for the rom, it's amazingly fast and stable.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
This is the well known problem on both the custom ROMs for the Fire Phone (CM11 and Nexus) that NO apps using the barcode scanning work. If you'd have spent 10 minutes reading the thread you would have found it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Dear ggow, one more thanks for the gerat ROM!

FYI: I've added one more small bug in the bug reports in the dev database.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
- I have looked into the issue and it seems to be gapps related and not the ROM.

- I will revert gapps to the older version in the next release which should fix the issue.

Stock Camera

Hi [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

First THANKS for your continued support of this device and what a great job you have done :o

I am revisiting this phone again due to the fact my Nephew needs a phone with all the LTE bands that this phone supports for his tour around South America.

This ROM is for me perfect apart from Camera issue.

I am sure you have covered all this somewhere and I confess I don't really understand why the stock camera cannot be integrated but from my very vague memory was it to do with tracking down the correct proprietary files for the Cameras if so maybe this could help a little http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2794413 :fingers-crossed:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
No it wasn't due to tracking down proprietary libs. The problem stems from the custom camera HAL which amazon uses. This deviates away from the standard google way of doing things in a way that breaks the custom rom camera usage.

I am however still looking into this.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
I read so many random threads with all the devices I own that I sometimes get confused :laugh:

Mentioning the camera HAL just jogged my memory again :good:

I will leave it in the hands of the master :highfive:

Many Thanks.

One more small issue in the current version (22.09.16):

Every time the phone is connected to PC or to the charger - the whole battery usage statistic is got reset even if the battery wasn't charged fully to 100%.

I believe this is wrong, and actually I recall, that in some other older versions the battery stats were dropped only after the battery was charged to 100%, whicle if not - it was very good to see on the battery graph: the periods of the partial charge were clearly seen.

Can it be fixed in the next release?

Thanks in advance! :)

- Build logcat from source

- Clean up media codecs

- Fixed bluetooth tethering

- Fixed USB tethering

- Fixed bug in dual band WiFi detection

- Enabled WiFi background scanning

- Enabled WiFi batch scanning support
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Strange thing. Maybe it was just a glitch. Now, with the version of 11.10.2016 everything works fine again. :) So, there is no need to add it to the bugs for now. :)

MANY THANKS for the new ROM release!

Tested:

+ USB Tethering - OK

+ Bluetooth Tethering - OK (I commented it in the "Feature Requests" in the Bug Reporter, the request may be closed)

+/- 5GHz WIFI Band - Tested. Seems not fully working still. It finds in the 5GHz band only the channels under 52 (upper channels however may be activated by editing the wifi config file, as I mentioned some time ago). Also, the WiFi speed on 5GHz band is still the same bad - max. 16 MBit/s :(

No more "updating the apps" by the resstart.

THANKS ONCE AGAIN !!!! :good::good::good:

Does 4g work with this rom? And how is the battery life compare to stock fire os?
[Amazon Fire Phone] cmb6:
4G works great.

I can't compare the battery life to Fire OS, because I have used Fire OS only to root the phone, install Safestrap, and download ggow's ROMs.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sinkoo1979:
No Cellular Signal

Thank you very much for the ROM. Very Nice
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Starting from the latest update (17.10.16) I noticed a strange increase in the battery drain in the "Airplane mode".

Normally, I switch the phone to the "airplane mode" for the night to save the battery - and on the battery diagram it's always easy to see that then during that time the battery usage is much less than during the day, when the radio is activated.

With the latest version hovewer, switching to the "Airplane mode" has no effect at all and the battery discharges the same fast as if the radio was either active, or the phone kept trying to find the network despite the "airplane mode". :( Additionally, now on the battery diagram the first place of the battery eaters is by the "Cell standby" with more than 50%, while usually, before this update, the first place was either "Phone Idle", or the "Android OS".

Has anyone else also noticed the same problem? Or is it only mine?
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
Battery life with the Nexus ROM is noticeably better than with Fire OS or CM due to it being such a clean image. I estimate a 20% increase.
[Amazon Fire Phone] alfick3:
I want to thank you for this. My wife's Fire Phone was starting to act strange due to several drops recently that put a nice spider web pattern of cracks on the screen. So we got her a new phone and now I installed this on the Fire Phone. Seems to be working well now that we aren't relying on all the FireOS gestures. Gave it to one of the children for a Wi-Fi only device.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zackyx:
Navigation bar

Is there a way to remove the navigation icons and bars at the bottom of the phone in this rom? I just put this rom on my brothers phone and that's really the only complaint I have about it. It's freaking fast also!
[Amazon Fire Phone] cmb6:
You can make many customizations of that sort by using Gravity Box, which is an xposed module.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Gretschguy:
High battery drain

Lately i noticed my battery lifetime has decreased for no reason (at least i cant find one). Battery stats dont show any particular app using too much power ):

Idle mode drains up to 20-30% during like 2 hours. Before it took like 10 hours to drain 20% in idle mode. Tried wiping cache, didnt help, made a battery repair and wiped battery stats with an app, didnt help either.

Wanna try reinstalling the os (oh ye, everything above mentioned is for fire nexus rom latest release available here).

So im wondering if i can install the same rom using the same steps as i installed it for the first time (just flashing it form custom recovery)? And if anyone has experienced similar problem? Any advises? Ty in advance.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
This is a pretty well known issue and is usually caused by an app leaving location services open.

Will I lose data after upgrade?

Hello, currently I'm on the June 9th version and looking to upgrade to the Oct 17th version of Kodiak on this page. Can anyone please confirm if my existing apps, data and settings will be lost after the upgrade? Is there I can do to flash the upgrade using Safestrap but still keep my apps and data? Thanks in advance.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
Your apps will be fine, just dirty flash over the top.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
I am on the latest build clean Installed and I have this same minor issue. Could you share the edited config file that works for you. :fingers-crossed:

My router defaults to Auto in 5ghz mode so the bands may be high or low depending on traffic. All my other devices seem to have no problem finding the 5ghz wifi :confused:

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

Other than this one very minor issue mentioned above everything works perfect for me so Many Thanks Once Again! we would be so screwed without you :angel: :good: :good:

Thank you very much. After the Oct 17 update, there seems to be a problem with the bluetooth connectivity. To connect everytime, I have to unpair and then pair again. Sometimes, it would randomly reconnect. I cant seem to find a pattern. Please help!

[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Thank you for the telling off I needed it. :laugh: :good:

I actually found your post using your suggested method of search but it was hiding below my bottom Nav Bar and that's why i did not see it first time around. :o

I actually did much more investigating of this issue than just edit the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini so here are my findings and theory's.

So each Fire Phone is region specific and has subtle differences one been the WiFi.

The WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin seems to be region specific as I checked them with Hex Edit.

This is from the ggow rom and as you can see is USI version.

Compared to UK version

Compared to the EU version

I suspect each device should use the Wifi config files pertaining to it's production/region for smooth and fast WiFi.

It's possible other things maybe slightly different but I have not noticed anything obvious as bluetooth etc seem to work fine with my device.

Note UK specific: If you purchased your Fire Phone and it came with a Euro style charger (as mine did) then you should really flash the official Euro firmware from Amazon.de Here update-kindle-34.4.6.6_user_466001420.bin

Rather than the UK firmware from Amazon.co.uk Here update-kindle-33.4.6.6_user_466001420.bin as I did and it seems this killed the 5ghz wifi for me.

Viewing a "dd" readback of the boot0 with Hex Edit I could see mine was a DE (Europe) Model.

Anyway the WiFi seem's to be working as expected on both 5ghz and 2.4ghz :good:

Speedtest results

So what I did was.

1. Sort the region by flashing the correct version for my device DE/EU not UK :o

After some more trial and error I

Replaced all the files for my own region ones in /system/etc/wifi and /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima set the permissions perform a factory reset :good:

Result!! :D
[Amazon Fire Phone] zerbey:
Not aware of that issue sorry. Try going into Safestrap's recovery and clearing out your cache. I don't recall ever having Bluetooth issues with my Fire Phone with this image. It works fine with LineageOS.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
So, do you mean, effectively, in short - take the files from the /system/etc/wifi and /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima directories from the appropriate regional STOCK firmware and copy them to the NEXUS ROM?
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
That is correct :good:
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Hmmm. This seems to be worth to make ggow aware of.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
I would think [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] would follow his own threads :eek:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Yup :)

I get notifications and have read every post of this and the CM-11 thread.
[Amazon Fire Phone] blackroseblade:
ggow, buddy any update on any new ROM? The current one is pretty stable and feature-complete but security patches maybe?

Also, any clue on the Qualcomm exploits? Did anything come of that? Are we any closer to finding a bootloader exploit?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I'll port the Nov 2016 security updates then that will be the last security update. The newer patches are focusing on Marshmallow and Nougat. Back-porting is becoming fiddly.

There is little to slim chance of finding a bootloader exploit on this one unfortunately. I just wish FireOS was as good and up to date as the bootloader is secure.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Miko2008:
Would it possible to get the Battery percentage like CM 11 has ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
If you use xposed - then there are pleanty of possibilieties to change the battery ddesign. E.g. Gravitybox offers a lot of customization.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
Hi @ggow,

May we expect an updated Fire Nexus ROM for the Fire Phone? If yes - any time expectation?

The last update is pretty old already.... :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Due to time constraint it hasn't been possible, thinking to concentrate efforts on the lineage-11 stuff. If I end up with some free time to it - but can't commit either way at the moment.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Hi ggow,

Please do not give up on this ROM it is absolutely faultless and has been my daily driver for the last 2 months.

I do not see how it could be improved to be honest other than maybe keeping the security up to date and perhaps some visual mod's icons, apps, etc.

I have tweaked your ROM to give it a more up to date look than the stock.

Some Screenshots here.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I use this one too with xposed. I don't want to risk breaking anything with further updates. Try xposed gravitybox for visual mods, you won't regret it.

As far as security goes, it's still far better than fireos 4.6.x. The latest security patches from Google does not offer much benefit for the amount of work required to backport them.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Runner_cz:
:)

This is my ROM of choice as well since more than a year. With xposed and some other tweaks - it's the best! Stable as a rock. The phone with this ROM traveled with me over more than 10 countries and 3 continents.

The only one single issue I still regret is the camera. :( Currently, I use one of the latest Oppo camera modules (and the snap camera as a backup). It's glitches (the necessity to turn all the fotos 180 grad and app crash when switching from front to the back camera or vice versa) I find as a beter trade off for the correct flash usage, interface and speed of the shots taking. (the snap camera can't use the pre-focused status of the camera, when you press the button - it always looses time by focusing again).
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Agreed :highfive:

My Phone has had a grand tour of South America with my Nephew and he reported it worked perfectly :good:

I tried open camera and it crashed but then I installed snap camera then uninstalled it. The open camera then worked perfect (I just take snaps nothing too serious) I am not sure what changes snap camera made but it seemed to fix things for open camera. :D
[Amazon Fire Phone] br0adband:
So on your own Fire Phone you still use this Fire Nexus ROM and not the unofficial Lineage you created? Interesting, can you say why you use this Nexus one over the Lineage build, if there are any specifics ?

And just to ask: will this one ever be updated to newer security patches, just curious...
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
I've always liked plain AOSP better and then xposed with gravitybox affords more customisation than lineage does.

So really just personal preference.

I haven't got much time right now to do these updates. Lot going on at home and work. Who knows it may or may not happen but can't promise either way.

Amazon Music

Hi,

I tried to install the Amazon Music app from the PlayStore today and it says it's incompatible with my device :confused:

I am sure I had it running on this Nexus ROM before although it's been awhile since I last installed it on any device.

Anyway just wondered if this the same for everyone eg: Amazon dropped support for our API level :mad:

Or if it's maybe a modification I have made which is quite a few things. :laugh:

Anyone else have issues with Amazon Music?

Screenshot:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Google/Amazon are always updating their list of compatible devices. You'll have to sideload it from APK mirror.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
Yes it sideloaded fine although it's not available on APK mirror and I had to use appraw.com to get the latest version.

How's this for irony even my amazon account says it's not compatable with my fire phone's :laugh:

Locked Bootloader recovery

Hi [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]

Sorry this is a bit OT but did not want to PM you since you requested not to be. :o

I am working on porting the Sony method of recovery/dual recovery or even insecure boot ramdisk for locked bootloaders which I think should work for our phone with some modification to the install script of course :fingers-crossed:

I have done some digging and found most of what I think is needed :confused:

Do you have a compiled TWRP recovery version already for the fire phone?

If not could you let me have a copy of your BoardConfig.mk so that when/If I get the chance I can try to compile one with the correct brightness and lun0/file paths which seem to be incorrect in the safestrap recovery :eek:

from what I can gather they should be

/sys/devices/msm_dwc3/f9200000.dwc3/gadget/lun0/file

which should enable the mounting of the sdcard to PC while in recovery.

This one TWRP fixes it's self by finding the correct path which is

/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

I think I have located most other parts of the puzzle required in implementing the Sony dualrecovery method (For Locked Bootloaders) which to be honest is not too far removed from the safestrap method but It would allow us some more flexibility if we can get this to work on the firephone. :fingers-crossed:

So not to clutter your thread with this OT feel free to PM me if you wish to discuss anything although it wont be instant reply's as I am soooo busy with work and a Home Move :crying:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
Hello, no worries about replying - I am also very busy - we have a little person that has just arrived so very rushed off my feet with very little time to spare.

I haven't compiled TWRP for the Fire Phone. The sysfs paths look good for sdcard and brightness.

My activity will slow for a while, however I'll still be around doing stuff in what very little time remains, if any.

About a month ago, I decided my Fire Phone needed a new battery. The install went well. I decided at the same time to reflash this ROM, after a clean wipe. The flashing went well.

After these two things, my wifi signal went to hell. I can still connect to my networks, but the range is a lot worse then before. I was just wondering if there was something stupid that I could have done with the phone apart, or if I should reflash again. Thanks

You could try reflashing and completely wiping the phone (backups first). If not, it could be possible to have somehow altered or damaged the antenna in your phone if you were doing a battery replacement.

If that don't work try it the other way around.

Very solid rom! I used it all day today. No crashes, freezes, lag, etc. Phone calls are fine. Same with SMS/MMS.

The only serious issue for me so far is the camera (pics come out sideways.) I love aosp so I'm sticking with it. I've been modding with gravitybox and several other xposed mods and haven't hit a single bump. Battery life seems a bit better than CM 11, and it could be placebo on my part but I feel like it's a bit faster too. Hard to say because CM is pretty fast. Anyone run benchmarks yet?

I believe i tried 2 (open cam and snap)

Actually had to flash back to cm. That was the for today anyway because i anticipated needing to photograph documents at work. But yesterday i lost all means of connecting online except for at my house. Couldn't connect to work wifi nor mobile data. When i got home it auto connected to my wifi and after a little fuss it worked.

Thought maybe it was a glitch with gravitybox smart radio but i disabled it. Also its the same settings i used on day one when i was raving about the rom.

I really want to flash it back but this time ill keep my backup on hand.
