Hey roofone! So I got it working perfectly with motion detector + tasker, everytime I walk by my tablet it wakes up and I have my smarttiles ready to for use. It is working flawlessly now that I am able to remove the “swipe up to unlock” option in the CM12 ROM. Thanks for your help and responses, it helped me to get it all working!

These are the steps I took in case anyone else wants their Amazon Fire 2015 (7" in my case) to get motion detector + tasker working:

  1. From a factory Amazon Fire 2015 tablet on Fire OS 5.1.1 (Should work on 5.1.2 as well), I rooted it using the superuser tool from rootjunky (everything is ran from a .bat script and very easy and fast. (http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=SuperTool)

  2. Once the tablet has been rooted I installed FlashFire from here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&ah=7sG_01kQgz56XedxiVAMkWlHnwI), current version is v0.31, older ones should work as well. Then I proceeded to downloading the necessary files to flash the CM12 ROM (currently android 5.1.1) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/rom-cm-12-1-2015-11-15-t3249416. I downloaded both the CM-12.1 and GApps (ARM Platform, Android 5.1, Stock File, you can use anyone as long as you get the Play Store).

  3. Once I have CM12 running along with Play Store, I downloaded Motion Detector + Tasker + Auto Start and followed this guide here: (http://android.stackexchange.com/posts/108443/revisions) and remember to use “org.motion.detector.ACTION_GLOBAL_BROADCAST” as the ACTION on step 19 instead of org.jastrzab.move.ACTION_GLOBAL_BROADCAST (OLD).

  4. Remember to go into settings and change your screen lock security type to “None.” That way as soon as motion is detected the tablet screen will wake and be ready to use.

  5. A few tips is play around with the sensitivity within Motion Detector to get exactly how you want it. I left mines on the highest sensitivity first than slowly moved it down to my optimal preference.
    **NOTE: I was new to CM12 so I didn’t notice if root access is needed, you can click on your build number to bring up the developer tools and then switch on root access for apps.
