Hi Frank,

Thanks for posting! You should be able to see ads in Germany, it is one of the supported countries. Does your app have network connectivity otherwise? Does your phone have data connection?

Error codes for Amazon Mobile Ads are here:

When you are sure that network connectivity is available and you are no longer getting the NETWORK_ERROR, but still getting NO_FILL errors, please review these Knowledge Base articles:

I'm glad your issue is resolved. Yes, the NO_FILL error most often directly relates to the ad size or placement, so we normally recommend developers to check their XML layouts, ad size specifications, etc. -- see the links I provided in my previous answer. Also see these guidelines for ad sizes:

https://developer.amazon.com/public/apis/earn/mobile-ads/docs/understanding-api

As for the supported OS, the Amazon Mobile Ads API for Android is compatible with phones and tablets running Fire OS or Android 2.3 and newer, so your Kindle Fire should also be supported. Since you are running a custom ROM, it's up to you to debug it, we don't support or investigate issues on unsupported systems, so please use a proper officially supported device and OS. Thanks!
