Ggow,
Looking to flash this ROM, just a few questions.
1) After flashing ROM, reboot or flash SUPER SU?
Is there a video on this, I just don't want to mess this up!
Thanks.

Ok, going to go ahead and do this tonight, any known serious issues? Also, I have a book that I have been reading, will that be saved? Thanks.
 
@ggow 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

That worked, thanks!


Hey guys, forgive my ignorance but I'm trying to add these lines to my build.prop but don't understand where you say " between the system stuff and the additional build properties" is at.

Thanks for any info!

OK when you open it it starts with all the system info in a group
Then it has sections that are double spaced then a group its labeled additional build properties make it as one of those double spaced sections above the additional but not in the system info

Thanks so much for the response!

Are you using an app or is that screen shot in the settings somewhere? I see an option to add in ROM toolbox and build.prop editor but they aren't double spaced like your screenshot so I wasn't sure where to add it.

Where is your manifest.xml

I tried building your source yesterday but I couldn't find your manifest or any reference to it. And is Bitbucket better than Github?

    IMPORTANT NOTICE
    :
    As many of you know, the CM-12.1 branch will not be supported in the new LineageOS fork. And many of the new Google security patches are difficult and fiddly to back-port as they are now geared towards Marshmallow and Nougat. So as a result there will be no further updates to this rom.

    Instead my focus will now be Fire Nexus ROM for this device.

    Also looking at possible ways to get later android versions on the device. Will let you know if there is any progress later.

    Thanks for all the support
    :good:

    Frequency Asked Questions

    Question 1:
    How do I adjust the keyboard sound level?
    Answer:
    - Go to settings -> Languages & input -> Android Keyboard -> Advanced -> Keypress sound volume
    - Then adjust the slider to your preferred level

    Question 2:
    Why does the screen image seem stretched or distorted?
    Answer:
    - The actual pixels in the Fire's LCD are not perfectly square
    - That causes some distortion. It is particularly noticeable with round icons & when the screen rotates.
    - This issue also effects the stock amazon OS as well as all custom roms.
    - It is not yet known if this will be fixable in software (my current thinking is probably not)

    Question 3:
    Why is my brightness slider not working?
    Answer:
    - Try installing Brightness Level and use it to change brightness. After doing this brightness slider should work fine and you can remove Brightness Level.

    Question 4:
    When installing Google Play Games and Google Calendar I get error -505?
    Answer:
    - Install older versions from apkmirror then update from Google Play Store.

    Question 5:
    How do I use CIFS?
