Was just pushed a 4.6.6.1 update to my unlocked AT&T version that says it includes bug fixes. It did kill my SuperSU root but reusing kingroot worked and then the script here to switch back to SuperSU worked as before. Google play store and apps seem to work. Unfortunately it doesn't fix the lenticular photo not working as a lock screen. That is really lame since that is the main gimmick this phone has left going for it and it doesn't even work any more. Videos in facebook work but I am not sure if that was fixed before or not.

I'm afraid to said "Good news", minor update but leave lollipop hope still alive.
Let's wait and keep hope
This update made my phone real glitchy. Website images weren't loading properly (had a fuzzy effect all over them). Also the phone was switching apps randomly.
Thank for let us know that there is a new 4.6.6.1 Firmware update for the Amazon Fire Phone.
Anyone that received the update knows what's new or has noticed some enhancements?

Here you have the updated firmwares:
Fire phone (AT&T): Fire OS 4.6.6.1
Fire phone (Unlocked GSM): Fire OS 4.6.6.1
These are complete firmware that you can load to your smartphone, anyway i'm waiting for the OTA to get update details if it is any.
Could anyone that received the update please post the changes? I can't find it on amazon's website or anywhere else.
Thank you
PD: Here are the instructions just in case that you need it and you can wait for the OTA

Sadly Amazon doesn't share as much info about the changes as they did in the past... If you ask a representative, they will answer something along the lines of: "security enhancements, user interface / app improvements", etc.
The AT&T page hasn't been updated either, although the update is available.
Oh, @arielaco was done posting while I was still typing, so thanks for adding the links that are available for now. ^^

Facebook from Amazon store?
Did you mean Google play's Facebook?
The most updated, aka "the current version", is from google play store.
I'm still with 4.6.6 firmware and Facebook from Amazon Store is NOT compatible with Fire Phone
From google store, after updating to 4.6.6.1, I upgraded fb from version 45.0.0.36.146( the latest version I could find that still worked) to 77.0.0.20.66, and everything works great!!

Best update for fire phone.
Hey guys I'm telling you this update of fire phone rocks.. Lot of bug fixes facebook is running well and also messenger. And its also a big hope for fire users that it'll get the 5.0 OS soon and further updates because amazon has promised that they'll launch fire phone 2 in 2016
I'm pretty sure this one fixed the TrustZone vulnerability reported few months back. Don't update if you have any hopes of unlocking the bootloader ever!

The boot.img: not identical to previous release (LTE modem firmware as well). The other images were identical... if that even qualifies as an indicator. They also added this:

Sorry about that, should've written it in more detail when I said "the other images were identical". ^^
First time, I just did a quick check with MD5, so here's a "complete" list: image comparison
(From 4.6.1 to 4.6.6.1, I didn't put them on my linux laptop yet, so that's all for now...)
Well congratulations on everything so far and I hope you're happy with your job and being a "working class hero". :laugh: :good:
edit: after my "dirty flash" to 4.6.6.1 regarding streaming issues:
Play Store versions: Twitch - not working, Periscope (throwaway acc.) - not working.

I wonder if they patched it in 4.6.6. Exploit was reported around 11/2015 anyway. I'll have a look later. Thanks

So, Thanks to @Bingo Bronson I can see that amazon didn't bother to upgrade the trustzone since 4.6.1. I guess updating from 4.6.1 -> 4.6.6.1 wouldn't harm any chance of trustzone exploit.

Arielaco linked the correct files, there is no '1820' version. Look at the release history and you will understand:
35.4.6.1_user_461013820
35.4.6.3_user_463001420
35.4.6.3_user_463001620
35.4.6.6_user_466000820
(example from US unlocked GSM version)
Among changes in this update, I found one that adversely affects the device, unfortunately (albeit trivially). There's no document viewer by default anymore. It says "No application available to view this file."
Can anyone else confirm this? I'd like to be sure whether it's this update or a random glitch on my device.

Like many Mac users, I have been struggling with the fact that Android File Transfer (AFT) suddenly stopped working when Mountain Lion was released. I do not like Kies for Mac (or Kies in general, really), and missed the simplicity that AFT has in getting stuff to and from my device, both internal and external storage wise. My life was a shambles. I cried myself to sleep most nights.
But no more.
A recent development has allowed AFT to work for us once again! Huzzah!
First, download the Kies installer from here. Do NOT install. Rather, run the UNINSTALL app that appears. This will ensure that any remnants of Mac Kies, which interferes with AFT, is removed.
Then grab the latest version of AFT from here.
Put away tissues. Get good night's sleep.
:laugh:
***UPDATED***
The Kies uninstaller can now be found at the Samsung website within the Kies install package. Changed link to point directly to it.

I recommend everyone to perform a Google search for "kies" and go to their official website to download the latest version because this version can be outdated and incompatible with later versions of Mac OS. And also, not that I don't trust the OP but how do I know his file has not been compromised by mal ware? No offense. Just saying. Trying to be safe here.
Or the OP can just link to the official kies website like he did with AFT.

LOL. Do what now? So, you come along 3 months after this helpful post has been accessed by a number of people, from a reputable 6-year member of XDA, and question the help that is given? That's pretty funny, my man. I am glad I could help you too. Here is some more help...if you are going to attempt to bite the hand that feeds you, at least do some research on your own first. Had you done that, you would have discovered that Samsung does not distribute the uninstaller anymore (and hasn't for a while) for Kies, and I (after doing my own research) managed to find it, test it, and host it on my OWN website, for grateful people like yourself.
So, welcome to XDA, new guy. Let's try to be a little more gracious.

I can confirm that the proper uninstaller is now being distributed by Samsung, and I have changed the link in the OP to reflect that. Thanks for the link, TheWalkingDead.
Your forum etiquette could use some work, holmes. I made the OP 3 months ago, and the Kies version I posted was the only one with an uninstaller that was proven to work at that time. If there is an updated one now from Samsung, great, I have no issues pointing to that one. Coming in here and claiming I could be distributing malware is...reckless, to say the least.
It appears we are good now, updated OP and with a clean link. Thank You.
Awesome! I'll finally be able to use my Mac for most of this stuff now instead of having to switch computers.
Polaroid All in One is a C++ application that will easily and quickly Root, Un-Root, and Install / Remove Google Applications and Google Services Framework. This software is designed for the PTAB8000, and PMID800. However, should work for similar tablets running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean (Google Apps only supported on Android 4.0.x). If you use this software with any other device please post your results in the this forum.
Requirements
Microsoft Windows (Tested on Windows 7 and Windows XP)
ADB Drivers Installed
Android Device Running 4.0 or 4.1 (Google Apps only supported on 4.0.x)
Recommended Method
Use version 1.6b to root your device, then use version 2.1b to install Google Framework.
UPDATE 8/11/14 -- Why doesn't this work with my device?
I just wanted to clear a few things up. I have had a few inquires about PAIO (Polaroid AIO) not installing Google Framework on their devices. The framework included in the latest releases is only compatible with Android 4.0.x. While PAIO v1.6b should be able to root 4.0, and 4.1 devices, the application will refuse to load the framework on a non-compatible version of android. If your tablet is not running a variant of Ice Cream Sandwich, it's simply not going to work. If we continue development we can support newer versions of Android. But, for now you would have to install the framework manually. If you would like to pursue a manual install I recommend you check out this page: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps Make sure you know what you are doing, and install the version that is correct for your device. I'm waiting to get more feedback on the poll before I decide to continue this project.
Have a great week everyone,
Wayne
UPDATE 8/10/14 -- [Quick Survey] Should we continue development?
As I am sure some of you have noticed by now, this project has not been under active development for over a year now. We had an event that resulted in a loss of the source code for the project. As a result, the project was put on the back burner as it worked "OK"-ish. Between the 1.6b and 2.1b releases it did meet the requirements at the time, which was to root and install a full play store on the PTAB8000, and PMID800 devices. While these devices may not be as popular at this time (they had a fairly high failure rate). There are other Generic devices that people have used this program on, with mixed results. I did have a PTAB8000 with a cracked screen donated a while back. As long as we have people to test/debug, and support the project however they can. I am willing to start the project from scratch (again).
All I ask is for a few minutes of your time to take a quick survey to help me understand the interest we have in this project.
Click here to take the survey.
UPDATE 1/21/13 -- Polaroid AIO v2.1b [Beta Release]
After a nightmare's worth of coding Polaroid All in One v2.1b is finally here. This update aims to provide the best possible user experience. While utilizing the latest patches discovered by the team. I would like to give a special shout out to Android Pizza for taking the initiative to get a fully stocked Play Store on the PTAB8000. Special thanks to the guys over at FreakTab for providing the permission files needed for the patch on the PTAB8000. Last but not least I would like to thank all of you for testing every release. You're feedback is critical to this product. Every post has helped with PAIO's development process.
PTAB8000 users please make sure you are running a stock firmware. If you have tried earlier versions of PAIO, or have used any other files to patch your tablet, you must re-flash your tablet. Please see the section below on flashing your PTAB8000.

UPDATE 12/30/12 -- Polaroid AIO v1.6b [Old, Stable Release]
I am leaving this version posted as it seems to have been the most stable version. This will work with Android Pizza's tutorial on the PTAB8000, and works perfectly on the PMID800. It is recommended this version be used to root, and 2.1b used to install the framework (if supported on your device).

I need people to test this update and let me know if it fixes the issues with the Google Services Framework, and the Google Play Store crashing. Make sure you choose Remove Google Applications and Framework first be fore you install the updated gapps.
Good luck please post back to this thread with your results.

I'm trying to give it a go but I cannot get Windows 8 to recognise the device when I plug it in. I managed to get the ADB drivers installed eventually as you need a work around for the "The third-party INF does not contain digital signature information" but that didnt help Windows 8 see the device. Then I installed the Google USB Drivers from the Android SDK Manager, but that hasn't helped.
I have everything checked correctly in the Settings --> Developer's section too....... Anyone else managed to get this device to work with Windows 8?

OK. I ended up using a crappy Netbook running Win7 and your v1.3b can see the device perfectly. Unfortunately I don't have any Google apps, but I do have root. Not sure why framework and Google apps didn't work but I even tried resetting the tablet to stock to try again. I've tried all options numerous times, and no beans on this device I'm afraid.
Like I said. It rooted perfectly and I love how slick everything is. Seriously impressive work my friend. Hopefully you can take a look into the issues I'm having? Anyone else had this problem?

Is the device that will not give you google apps a PTAB8000? No errors given?
Also have you tried 1.2? The Framework is a little buggy but will be helpful in debugging why this is not working with your device.
Thank you for the support. Glad you where able to at least get root, and we will work on getting google apps installed for you. Give 1.2 a go and let me know what happens.

Both are PTAB8000's. The one I have at the moment just worked with v1.2 on the 1st attempt when trying to add the framework and gApps.. I didn't try any other option since v1.3b rooted it first..
v1.3b didnt give any error messages... My observations between v1.2 and v1.3b is that they both show that they are doing the same thing, but v1.3b does it at such a speed that it's hard to imagine that the device had enough time to receive the files that were being pushed. On v1.2 is was a lot slower and more in tune with the fact that data is being pushed to the device.
Then on the reboot, you get the Android is updating logo before hitting the desktop for version 1.2, whereas I didn't get that with v1.3b....
I can't test any of the apps just yet as I need my Son's, Girlfriends gmail account details but so far so good.
Seriously GREAT work TeODH4

Ok thanks for your feedback. 1.2 should work for you However you will experience some bugs such as com.google.gapps randomly crashing which i tried to fix. in 1.3b. I will take a look at the 1.3 code and see if i can figure out what the issue is. Maybe add some better error checking.

Both are PTAB8000's. The one I have at the moment just worked with v1.2 on the 1st attempt when trying to add the framework and gApps.. I didn't try any other option since v1.3b rooted it first..
v1.3b didnt give any error messages... My observations between v1.2 and v1.3b is that they both show that they are doing the same thing, but v1.3b does it at such a speed that it's hard to imagine that the device had enough time to receive the files that were being pushed. On v1.2 is was a lot slower and more in tune with the fact that data is being pushed to the device.
Then on the reboot, you get the Android is updating logo before hitting the desktop for version 1.2, whereas I didn't get that with v1.3b....
I can't test any of the apps just yet as I need my Son's, Girlfriends gmail account details but so far so good.
Seriously GREAT work TeODH4

Found the issue with 1.3. just a simple typo when trying to change directory to Resources/gapps. If you don't mind give 1.4b a shot,
Be sure to Remove Google Apps first, then install. It worked just fine with my simulation. But without having a tablet to debug on at the moment its hard to be sure...
Thanks,

PolaroidAIO stuck waiting for the devide to be ready
Hi,
I tried AIO 1.3-1.4 on a PTAB8000 and it it just waits forever for the tablet to be ready. The ADB drivers appear properly installed (I see an Android Phone/ADB interface in the device manager on XP SP2). Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I was able to install it on Nexus 5, but not able to log in into my profile to get "My Places" (which is the main thing I'm missing in Maps v7).
When I go to Settings > Sign in, a "Login failed" bubble appears, and in the notification tray "Sign-in Request" message, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I have two Google accounts on this phone, if this makes any difference.

Same here!
The app installed properly and I was already jubilating. But then Login failed as OldSavage explains. Login via settings leads to same result.
Any idea why or a workaround? By the way, I only have one Google account on the phone. That shoulnd't be the reason for the issue.
For me too, beeing able to access "My Places" is the main reason why GM7 is useless to me (strange enough, tha they dumped such a basic feature)

SORRY.... I feel this morning like a stupid noob
Of course is your version right. I installed after downloading my own old and wrong maps version
And... You all are right.
I installed the 6.5.0 few months ago and everything works fine. Login and my locations also work after confirm the things in the notification bar.
But I didn't see, that now the maps are not logged in. No my locations, and no search function.
Maybe the new firmware updates are the problem. Before I updated my note 3, it works perfectly.

Good Luck people...!!
I would just like to say thank you to the OP for posting this installation file. I hated Google Maps 7.0+ since it came out this past summer and immediately "downgraded" back to 6.0+ on my Galaxy S4 and ignored all Google Play updates for it. When I installed JellyBean 4.3, unfortunately it updated Maps to 7.0+ on its own. I used it for one day and was already at my wits end with it. Thanks again for this.
My only question regarding it is, is the map data static or will it update itself whenever Google updates map data? For example, if a street in my neighborhood suddenly gets changed from 2 way to one way and Google Maps is notified and updated, will your custom app know this as well?

The map data is in the cloud - it's not part of the app... so it will update.
A tip to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
The maps 6 version is also running at the same time with Maps 7.
I have a lot of background activities / wakelocks.
Probably location tagging or other stuff.
You can switch off the following options in Maps 6 without loosing the functions, because they are already activated in maps 7.
(Depending what you have activated)

Just wanted to let y'all know, that the new Software Update v1.3 has been released (and wanted to keep the 'technical details' thread clean..)! Here is the mail you should have received.
Changelog:
The latest Fairphone OS version is 1.3, named Chestnut (released in May 2014).
We're delivering a larger collection of bug fixes - including initial software development work of version 1.2 Release Candidate - to bring these updates in this combined version 1.3.
This software update version 1.3 should address the following:
Camera app fixes and optimizations.
Phone crashes and reboots. This includes issues with the volume button/key, widgets and mood background on the lockscreen, and the People app.
Adding more European languages to the operating system language (eg, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian).
Proximity sensor timing improved (i.e., to minimize response time of screen when moving the phone away from your ear).
Maintenance to prevent some internal storage notifications.
Messaging app fixes (e.g., crashing in Dutch fixed).
Optimized settings for some Bluetooth profiles (e.g., HID).
Further fixes on National Roaming notification.
Removed notification from missing SIM card.
Some Dutch and German translations corrected.
Fixed number parsing (no default to Chinese numbers).
Improved audio settings.
Optimized default volume settings for headset and speaker.
Removed (most) Video Calling option on Phone and People app.
*Regarding questions on internal storage partitioning, we are finalizing proper storage partitioning to prevent
separating app from data storage (to unify this storage). We are currently working on fixing last remaining issues and
getting the updating mechanism ready for users. We will add a Support Q&A to our website once we have more information to share.

Follow these steps if the update does not appear on your phone (seems like it will still take a while to appear - these steps do not work for me either).

A short question for my part: as it is mentioned in the mail (see first link) one will have to re-install the App-Store.
Does one lose any other of the installed stuff? What about the backupping? Is the pre-installed app working fine or can someone recommend anything else based on her/his experience?

I just upgraded, and although I had to try pushing the Upgrade button a few times before it would actually work, everything right now seems to be working as is and nothing else seems to have become lost. I hadn't backed up anything, mainly because I hadn't thought of it - it would, in fact, have been wise. I do indeed no longer get the empty sim notification for sim slot 2, which is nice. Tweaks such as GravityBox and Xprivacy still seem to work just fine.
Hey everybody,
I have a small problem. After reinstalling the Google apps by widget I removed Thema not used apps and tools. G+, bookmark syncing....
Now Threema using GCM doesn't work anymore.
Is it possible to reset the widget to install the apps really easy?
Otherwise dies someone has the zip to install it manually?

Two issues that I did run into after a manual install from 1.2 rc1:
After reinstalling google apps, I needed to clear the data for Google Play Store before installing apps via the play store webpages on an other device (e.g. desktop PC) would work.
My device is currently not listed in android device manager (for tracking / remote wipe / etc), but is was showing up before the update. I'm hoping this is just a matter of waiting a little bit. (ADM is still listed as device admin, toggling this off and on again hasn't appeared to help). Edit: This problem was also reported and solved for the previous update here.

This was done on Stock Android (AOSP) 1.0, as described here. So even though I think the result would be the same, you could just repeat this procedure on your Fairphone OS 1.3 in order to create a flashable zip-file.
I've been using AOSP since day one, and never had any of the described glitches or crashes, so I won't start using it now
But in a week or two, I'll start nagging Fairphone again about AOSP updates, since it would be great to get at least the camera tint fixed.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I would like to do this, but my widget just shows me right now, that I installed them already.
Has someone else an idea how to reset the widget?
I tried to delete the data of the widget and got to fairphone OS app site, bit deleting data there only deleted my home screen....

It was the same with me.

All other data of the two zip-files is identical. Time for me to start *****ing and whining about the lack of AOSP updates!

I have extended my partition before the update. As it comes with a simple zip file, you will not have changes to the current partition configuration.
As per Xposed, you will have to reinstall it afterwards anyway. No need to disable it.
The only recommendation would be to make a valid clockworkmod backup before the installation. The default fairphone recovery does not handle repartitioned phones well in my experience.
You will even be able to use the backup to restore only the applications you need with the tool Nandroid Manager * ROOT.
Problems after updating: Keyboard completely gone?
Hi everybody,
haven't been around for some time, quite busy ATM.
I updated to 1.3 Chestnut, and had the AOSP keyboard problem (crashes). Then, I tried to be smart and shot meself in the foot: I used titanium backup to restore the keyboard. As the app reported that the installation did not, erm, install, I tried to remove the keyboard app. Which also apparently did not work. I thought to postpone everything and turned the phone off.
Now, the keyboard seems completely gone, and I can't unlock my phone. Instead, it shows the red microphone button and tells me to "Speak now".
To sum up:
* I can't unlock the phone because the keyboard is gone, and fallback seems to be voice recognition.
* I can't re-install GApps using the widget, because I can't unlock the phone.
* I can't access phone storage or sd card because the phone is locked, and USB is set to media mode (or whatever it's called).
* I can't access the SD card because I'm using Windows on my desktop, and Win7 does want to format my sd card because it has a non-compatible file system.
Any ideas?
Oh, btw: de-crypting the phone works. I've got a keyboard there.
Do you have access to another SD card?
So install the update manually again and the keyboard should be back again.
The data were still there, when I did it.
Sent from my FP1 using XDA Free mobile app
I've applied the update manually by rebooting into recovery mode (hold power + volume up) and then selecting the option to send an update via ADB. I'm not sure whether you need to have USB debugging enabled first for this to work from recovery, but it may be worth a try if the SD card approach doesn't work out.
Since @benxda was asking for some feedback on the new update, here is mine.
I had the 1.2RC installed before. So I was not able to get the OTA update. Anyway, I decided to repartition my phone first, then install the update (I did not repartition it before... so space was getting low). Everything worked fine and now I have chestnut on my phone with a bigger data partition. yay!
Anyhow, I am still hoping for a bluetooth fix. Unfortunatly "Optimized settings for some Bluetooth profiles (e.g., HID)" did not solve my bluetooth pairing problem with my car. But I did not really expect it since @joemier stated somewhere that the bluetooth stack problem will not be fixed with 1.3. Anyhow I still tried.
Bluetooth is my main issue, and from where I am standing, I do not really get why it is not fixed,yet. I saw it fixed in various jelly bean custom roms. So why not ask the people who already did it how they did it. One example for this might be found here. If I remember correctly he fixed that in alpha6 or something. But on the other hand I am no android developer and from my perspective this might look easier than it is.
So I guess my questions for Fairphone would be:
Are you still working on the bluetooth issue? what are the plans on fixing it (or rather how do you want to tackle it)?
what priority does it have?
On a closing note, I feel the same way as @MarcoToo in his post. That people either moved on, or just don't care anymore. Sounds a bit cynical maybe, but I think that's how it is at the moment. And I must admit that I thought about buying a new phone with similar specs and more custom rom action going on. like the galaxy s4 mini. But it is really hard for me to get rid of a phone which I used for only a few month. But one of the major reasons why I bought this phone does not apply anymore (hackability).
Just upgraded to the latest Stock ROM for Europe I9195XXUCOH2:
samsung-firmware.org/model/GT-I9195/
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195
sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195
When running Stagefright Detector it only shows the following red vulnerability:
CVE 2015 6602 - Requires clicking a web-link, that opens video in the web-browser.
P.S. Had to flash twice as the baseband didn't upgrade the first time, and caused WIFI not to work (Would not turn on).
P.P.S. Used the O2-UK ROM and it changes the bootup-screen and also replaces the Google App Store with its own. Had to manually install Google App Store.
Gives me hope that there will be a fix later for stage fright v2. Though this release was 1 and half months after it was compiled so.... Also the fact O2 has released this but Samsung has yet to release the updated unbranded software is a bit of bull. Phone manufacturers and Google need to get their ass in gear..
Just updated to I9195XXUCOI5 (Spanish), and now Stagefright Detector shows all tests as green.
Also the bootup-screen is back to normal, along with the Google App Store.
Did you (have to) factory reset after flashing?

I flashed on top of my existing 4.4.2. Stock ROM, and just had to re-root.
But I guess it would be a good idea to make a backup of text-messages and other stuff.
Hi. My phone was rooted and when i checked it through stagefright except two all were red. And after i saw your comment., i flashed my phone but with original stock rom. and did reset and everything. Still same options are red.

Guess I have a special phone, or maybe something went wrong when flashing. Just re-verified that I have the latest version of stagefright detector from Google App Store, and all tests are green.

Going to try this tonight when I get home. Currently running the UK O2 firmware, but all but one of the patches shows green. Fingers crossed this new Spanish ROM will be green across the board.
This has really p!&&ed me off! Android phone manufacturers are sooo slow to update their devices. I can understand that some updates like new looks are over looked for older devices, but when it comes to security THEY have a duty to keep their products secure! There needs to be a new system for security updates. This stage fright bug is HUGE in my opinion. Phone manufacturers really don't give a sh!t about their customers, its all about the money. I never had these worries on my Nokia 3310...
I'm so concerned that I'm seriously thinking about getting an iPhone, much better software ecosystem. I just hate IOS compared. It's that or be forced to buy an expensive galaxy S6 or maybe a Moto G 2015 which I've heard has software updates comparable to the Google Nexus phones, which I personally think are a bag of crap...
Samsung being such a BIG concern in the smart phone world are just crap for software support.
I know there are custom ROMs that offer regular updates and the latest patches, but for me NONE of these are stable on my 5 month old device to the point where they can't be run as daily drivers... That and you lose any warranty you had, which is 2 years for Samsung....
Now I'm stuck with laggy stock OS, and I'm regretting getting this phone on contract.
If people were more aware of how insecure there phones really are I think they might not so easily choose android or at least the hundred odd older devices still available for purchase.
I'm so angry its funny... I'm one click away from dumping Samsung for the foreseeable future...

I also have 4.4.2 stock.
I am concerned of the difference between CSCs, that there might be strange behavior. So you flashed, didn't reset and everything's fine, no force closes & stuff?

I did format the cache-partition and also cleared the dalvik-cache.
Thanks for this info, did not see that before.
From the information at Samsung Firmwares Database, the last Spanish ROM is not for LTE? or ist it also fine for LTR?

I have a S4 Mini LTE and the spanish ROM works fine with mine, and gives me 4G connectivity.
I am hoping for further firmware updates. Everything is red for me except two, as mentioned by someone else. I updated to the latest firmware from May on Three. I thought it was confirmed we were going to get version 5 of Android on the S4 mini... still waiting. I had 4.4.2 before from my last update and then this new update is ALSO 4.4.2...... What got updated? Just patches on things or something? No upgrade of the OS?

Very certain that S4 Mini will not get Android ver. 5.
This is my device status:
- Android Version: 4.4.2
- Kernel Version: 3.4.0-5878679 (23 Sep 2015)
- Build Number: KOT49H.I9195XXUCOI5
Think it is only security fixes, and system-app updates.

No Stagefright with the Spanish Stock ROM anymore
WIth the Spanish ROM no Stagefright Security problem as of today anymore. :good::good::good:
(My only problem is now, that the phone is getting quite slow, maybe some app . . . )
Have now updated to the latest I9195XXUCOJ1 (TIM), and it feels a lot faster.
Sadly enough the preloaded TIM-applications fills up the entires System-partition, so if wanting to install other apps, then one have to cleanup a little first.
For some unknown reason the Xposed Framework Installer will not install, and gives the following warning:
Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 19 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)
WARNING: Linker: /data/datade.robv.androi.xposed.installer/cache/app_process has text relocations.
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE cannot locate symbol "_ZN7android14AndroidRuntime5startEPKcS2_" referenced by /data/datade.robv.androi.xposed.installer/cache/app_process

EDIT 2: Using files extracted from an older build of stock kit kat I managed to get Xposed working on the latest stage fright fixed Italian stock firmware. Picture shows which files located in system bin and system lib.

EDIT: OK I tired this stock rom with xposed and like yourself it doesn't want to install the framework.. The patch from Lombartz thread doesn't work with stock roms. It's got to do with sine new security patch. I'm thinking maybe an older version of the 2 files affected might work. Going to try later. That or ask Lombartz what he did to get it working.
Maybe try the fix for xposed from Lombartz in his cm11 rom and kernel thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...ht v2)(ECOACTIVE & ECOPLUG)(OC/UV)(20151116) Might work on stock rom too.
I have installed the latest Stock-ROM I9195XXUCPA1, and it works good.
I have tested with AndroidVTS v.13 and it shows that CVE-2015-6616 remains red (All other tests are green).
