Why is there so much space in the notification entries? The tfq tweaks made the font smaller, but the space is still there. Any way to fix that?

Not sure how much luck I'm going to have with turning off data today, as I check my phone randomly at my desk. Ill post another BBS when I get home. Used my phone for 5 mins and it dropped 4% in that time. Web pages load quick so I'm not sure if its a cell reception thing
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] putney:
FWIW I left my wifi on last night but turned off data, and went from 87% to 85% in 7 hours. Turned data back on and my battery went to shiz.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
Are you using the stock charger?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I have 3 that I use. I still get fast charge on all of them.

Also replaced sd card
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Is anyone else having issues with the voltage control app?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] putney:
works as intended for me, I just rebooted and it's staying on sio/intellidemand.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Me too. Works well when setting are set as boot settings.

This rom seems to be nice to me one day and terrible the next. I don't know what's going on.

Here is my bbs from today
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] MrBlacklisted:
Lock screen

OK everyone I switched to DK8 last week. I was messing around with the lock screens last week and everything was great, today I switched to the "screen" lock screen and now I can't get my phone to unlock! I've rebooted and nothing seems to help. I am able to swipe it down but it just doesn't unlock the phone. Is there any way to fix this or am I going to have to re load the ROM? Thanks for any help on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
Lol if its one of the lockscreens(not pattern or pin) then call yourself and press the home button while on the call. Also add a gesture to unlock just in case it happens again. Lol

----------------------------------------------

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] MrBlacklisted:
Thanks, I tried to call my self and it went to voicemail. I rebooted and whent out side to get a better signal and tried again and it worked. And it was the "lense" lock screen. Anyone else have this problem? Besides that great ROM erickmm!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
Nope I've been using lense from day 1 no problems here

I noticed a bit higher than usual battery drain but not large amounts like you guys do. I am lucky and get to listen to the radio/watch tv while I work and it was about 10% less than dk7.

For about 6 hours my audio book ran at about half to 3/4 volume (not stock app), my wifi was on for about 3 of those hours, bluetooth for about 2 hours, and was playing a few physics games. When I left for home I still had about 30% of my battery life left. I do turn down the brightness of my display all the way down, maybe this is the determining factor?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I have brightness all the way down too. Not syncing anything or anything running in the background. As soon as I unplug my phone in the morning it starts to drain. I'm down 5percent by the time I get to work and I haven't even touched my phone. Wish I would have stayed at build7

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

Also with the newest version of Maps can we no longer sign out of latitude? Seems I can only uncheck everything and freeze maps when I don't want it running
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Well if you really want to go back to build 7 I assume you made a nandroid backup before flashing... so just go back. I honestly have no idea why you are experiencing the issues you are having.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Did you get anything from my BBS? Anything else to do about the sdio_al wake lock
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
Im having the same problems with V8. I always turn wifi and bluetooth off when i leave home to get to school, and I restart my phone before I leave as well. A few hours later, Ill take the phone out of my pocket after not using it at all, and it will be warm and the battery will be down to 50%
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
Try charging it up, rebooting to recovery, formatting cache, and wiping dalvik cache and battery stats.

Worked for me. I'll have a new kernel out soon. Maybe that will help.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
alright ill try that as soon as I get home
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
based on the BBS you posted everything appears to be working properly. The majority of the time the phone was in deep sleep and was only running full 1512 like 2% of the time. You should be getting pretty good battery life...unless...

You have said that you bought a new battery? Just out of curiosity... what's the mAh of the battery? Just because it's new doesn't mean that it is the same as the factory battery. I believe the factory battery is 1750 mAh... could it be you bought a cheapo battery that was like 1500 (or less) mAh? That would account for your rapid drain...

Or... Perhaps that battery is defective (bad cells). It happens. You should be able to exchange it for a new one if you purchased it with someone reputable.

I believe that with build 8 there was a slightly different kernel... maybe you could also wipe davlik/cache too?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
is this ROM compatible with the EXT-4 filesystem?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Phattack:
Does anyone know how to do put a wall paper in the lock screen that's not the transparent background?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shaikmonster:
I have to do a complete wipe for this to boot...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] putney:
Don't think it's working
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
My lockscreen wouldnt unlock today either for some reason
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
I'm pretty sure it's all ext4 already.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] razielpr:
I'm getting the same problem my battery only last for one hour and 30min and nothing seems to help.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
Yeah I have no idea what it is. When I flashed the ROM, my phone had the best battery life ive ever seen on an Android phone, I could go days without charging it, and a full day of heavy usage. All of the sudden, I pick my phone up one day and my battery is way down. No clue what happened. I might try to reflash the ROM, and see if that does anything, If not, I need a new battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
This is just my first 24 hours.....

Most of the awake was calls, I do have two apps sync'ing every once and a while. Screen brightness is turned all the way down and I make sure apps are closed when I turn off the screen. A bit worst than dk7 but still great for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I usually only get about 10 hours. And I have the bigger battery. Its not an extended one, but better than stock. And its new so I'm not sure what the problem is. I keep getting sdio_al wakelocks even with fast charge and a new SD car. I think signal is a big issue for me. Any easy way to fix poor signal? In BBS good signal shows 57%
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
I doubt you need a new battery. Have you tried charging the battery to full, rebooting to recovery, formatting the cache partition, wiping the dalvik cache, and wiping the battery stats?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
What effect will that have in my data and stuff on my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
It'll b gone unless you back it up with titanium backup or whichever method you desire
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Good advice merwin, this usually works pretty well. Batt life on build 8 has been pretty good for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
You won't lose any data by formatting the cache partition or any of the other steps. I do it regularly when I am testing my kernel builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
Lol I misread need to quit trying to help when I'm tipsy
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
Before I restarted battery life was at 57-58% then dropped to 40% after reboot.. does anyone know why the battery would drop so much after restarting the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
I ended up getting great battery life with dk8. I still had 35% or so when I went to work last night which would of got me another day or so. I dropped a lot for the last 35% because I was listening to my music (at least 3/4 max) for 4 hours! I suggest reflashing with erikmm and merwin's suggestions. Check the md5, your apps, and make sure to always scroll through settings when you flash something new. May I ask what apps you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
Well I've had dk8 since it came out and this was the first time that happened. These are literally the only apps I used before I restarted. I always close out of them by hitting the back key and going into running services making sure they're not ruining in the background. I just find it odd that after all this time of using dk8 and restarting different times the batt drain happened this one time. I restarted it again a few moments ago and it stayed 19%
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
This is my average battery life. I go to school everyday and the signal is terrible too.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
Why is your screen on for 4 hours? Try to cut back if you want better results.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Because I use my phone a lot lol. I'm pretty happy with these results tbh. It gets me through a full day.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
For anyone complaining on bad battery drains, either a bad flash or you must watch to much porn xD cus on my end its been fenomenal.

My phone charges itself lol why would it do that?

I know its not actually charging but i have noticed its done this before.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
@razielpr

I turn my brightness all the way down, and keep my toggles on the main screen and turn them all off when I am not using them. I set the brightness toggle to 0% and auto brightness. This allows me to see the phone if I go outside lol. Make sure you have the gps toggle off too, most the time its not needed. Turn off auto sync'ing and vibrate too.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] biohaza12d:
Custom Boot Animations

Erik I must ask, why did you remove custom boot animations? I miss them lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Keep having to restart my phone to unlock the screen at certain times....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
I am certain now its a bad flash for these guys/girls. I have had wifi on and music blaring for about 4 hours now and still have about 75% battery left. Have you guys checked the md5s and reflashed with erikmm/merwin's suggestions? It is totally possible to get a bad flash, and only takes minutes to fix. Battery life is great with this build and I have yet to have a lockscreen issue. Back up your sms/mms and apps and start over. If you still have the problem after you flash, post us a pic or two of your battery drain and the apps usage. Even when I stream netflix I still get great battery life as I ALWAYS have from dk builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
I didn't...

sorry i've been away guys but with no wifi and no phone service it's hard to get on :/
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
What's the proper procedure for md5. Not sure what it is or does. Do I need to do that before or after I reflash the ROM. I was also getting random force closes last night. Also what should everything look like under mounts and storage? I really haven't had good luck with flashing on this phone. Seems like the Vibrant didn't have all these mounts or things that could go wrong
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] biohaza12d:
Weird I just tried it again and it worked this time. Very strange lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
A md5 is a checksum to make sure you have downloaded all of the file or files intact. Think of it as a fingerprint, just making sure its the right one. There are lots of freeware/open source programs to check sums, I myself use MD5 Checker.

When you flash, make sure to make a nandroid backup, titanium backup, or whatever you use first. Then in recovery wipe data/factory reset first, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvik partition (under advanced). Then install your rom. Make sure you let the phone sit 10 minutes while it does its first boot stuff. After the 10 minutes, restart the phone.

Report back and let me know how it goes :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jamkul:
So does auto brightness work now? I thought that I read that it didn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
So I do the MD 5 after I flash this next ROM? Just downloaded md5 checker. How do I use it?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
If anyone is having issues with voltage control, another option might be no-frills CPU app. Make sure you set min to 192 and Max 1512. Also I'm using sio and intellidemand. Also apply on boot. The settings apply and don't reset
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Yes auto brightness does work. As for your install procedure, you use the md5 to check and make sure you got the download 100%. Then you install after it matches up. If it doesn't match up with the one Erikmm provided with the link, you download it again. Then follow the above post.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
Heads up: new kernel dropping today with lots of goodies and bugfixes. All tested and ready, just needs to be packaged up.

It will probably be in its own thread.

It fixes the cpu max speed setting bug.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Great news merwin. Looking forward to the new kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Hey does anyone know how I can get the battery percentage to be on the left side of the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
How do I use MD5 app and when? After or before I flash a ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
Once again everyone installation instructions if you want clean install

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. flash rom

3. let it sit for 10

thats no mounts are needed anymore my updater script handles everything

As for md5 ....google md5 checker and download it. The md5 checksum checks to make sure you got a 100% download. So its always before you flash.

Now no offense guys but md5 isnt really a rom related question so try and google some stuff the information is easily found. Im only able to get online limited cus.of my.situation so i tend.to.check here and try and help but like today i had.to check thru alot and.most of it was just eh. Lol

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I'm going to try charging the battery to full, rebooting to recovery, formatting the cache partition, wiping the dalvik cache, and wiping the battery stats like someone said, but is this going to wipe my phone? Will I lose every thing? I'm probably going to reflash build8 this weekend, but its good to know incase I have problems with battery life again
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
No, if you just wipe the cache you wont lose anything
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
I searched this thread.. no results..

So. I can't add a Google account. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
Well that's what I get for setting deadlines for myself. I'll try to have it up today.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
What about doing the rest of that stuff....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
/sigh

Unless you hit the wipe data/factory reset then your data is fine...cache is a different partition than data and system so when you wipe cache it also wipes dalvik cache. That's it...honestly if you're having issues here's what to do

1. Wipe cache & fix perms

If still buggy

2. Redownload rom check md5 reflash with wipe data/factory reset

If still buggy

3. Odin back to stock and do #2 again.

If still buggy

4. Stay on stock and see it the issues you're having are gone then go back to dknight build8 and logcat the errors for me.

Before people ask what logcat is or anything else...search ...Google...alot of information is out there don't be lazy people that's how I learned. Searching is a tool and a rule in Xda.

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I'm going to redownload and reflash this weekend. Thanks! I was just worried formatting and wiping cache would deleted my saved TB backups
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Just reflashed, in voltage control im getting Wrong kernal detected...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
Did you open the app from the app draw or did you open voltage control from the tfq tweaks? Open the app first then it should work when you go into the tfq tweaks>voltage control settings
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Unplugged my phone and 10 mins later its down to 98%. Just reflashed last night and wiped cache and dalvik cache reset battery settings. I guess I'm going to buy another battery after work. I honestly don't understand why my battery life sucks when everyone else is only down 20% by the end of the day running everything and I barely touch my phone all day. The only thing I can think of is the sdio_ al wake lock
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I don't know what it could be except for the battery. I have the phone on wifi, 50% brightness and everything sync on. I left the phone on overnight and I'm down 30% . Phone is going on 15 hours without charging. Good luck, hope new battery helps
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I'm so jealous! Definitely going to T-Mobile today for a battery. I don't think I had this many issues on my old blaze.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
I think that's normal. The phone doesn't charge 100% that is just how the phone is pdrogrammed to save battery longetivity. After unplugging I'm usually at 95 after like 10min but after that my battery drop normal. And I have all sync on. My brightness is 0, but I have my brightness toggle so when I'm outside(alot) it goes to 100% I just don't like auto cus most times I don't need as much light as it gives.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Sorry you're having a rough go with this blaze and the battery. Did you try no-frills CPU? It works in the sane fashion as voltage control. I've been using this app for awhile and the values for min / Max and the other settings stick. Might give that a shot also
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I got everything to stick, but now its been Unplugged for a few hours and its at 80
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Glad the settings are holding. One last thing to try before grabbing a battery, did you wipe battery stats in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Yep didn't help. I think if the new battery doesn't help I'm just going to get rid of this phone and either go back to my Vibrant or find something else. I hate carrying a charger around constantly and hardly touching my phone all day and then still having a dead battery after 8 hours.

I was thinking the galaxy s2 4g. I mean, doesn't it have ICS already?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I understand completely, hopefully battery will help. I used to carry a charger when I had my G1. Hope everything works out
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
The value for MAX_CPU_SPEED most definitely won't stick. I know that because I fixed that bug. The core cpu frequency code forces the cpu down to 1.18 GHz and then back to 1.5 GHz depending on load, no matter what scheduler is used.

Good news is that it's fixed. Bad news is that I am an expert in procrastination, so all I should say is that the new ROM will drop soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
That's good news merwin. If you need a hand with anything, let me know :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
So today I took a picture with the stock camera and it shut down my phone and was stuck in a bootloop for a while. I also noticed the flash settings in the stock camera won't stick to automatic
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] forgetaboutit:
Is there anyway to change the wallpaper resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] biohaza12d:
If by change resolution you mean stop it from zooming in, no. Zeam launcher doesn't support that (I don't know if there's an app for just that). Holo launcher, on the other hand, does support that. Which is why I ditched zeam and continue to use holo lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Is anyone having problems with the camera? Seems like every time I reflash to fix one problem another one pops up.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] forgetaboutit:
What exactly do you mean by problems with the camera
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I was taking pictures with the stock camera last night and the phone kept turning off. I've also noticed that the flash settings won't stick. Always reverts to flash off instead of automatic
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] biohaza12d:
I've noticed that any custom settings (including auto-flash) wont stick. I also have a small glitch when I select camera it opens to gallery and when I hit back it returns to my drawer instead of the camera. Then if I select camera a second time it opens properly
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Today I went to turn my alarm off and the phone froze then restarted itself. If i Keep reflashing to fix one problem another one comes up it seems.... also noticed my voicemail settings won't stick, I use google voice for voicemail and have to reset everything from my carrier to google voice every time I restart my phone. Build 7 didn't have these problems :( I really don't want to go backwards and back to b7
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I also bought a new battery and its still dropping about 10% an hour....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Was it a official Blaze Battery? Or a knock off? Knock off lasts me about 2 hours lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Its a blaze battery. Made sure its not a knockoff. Really wish I didn't have so many problems with this phone! Now my voicemail and camera settings won't stick after reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
Try charging to full, then use cwm to flash the latest TFQ Scorched kernel, format cache and wipe dalvik through CWM, then wipe battery stats.

Go through the charge cycle a couple of times and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
What does the new kernal do? And how do I properly flash a kernal vs a ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
Just go into CWM and choose the kernel to flash, just like a ROM. I tested the kernel on dKnight, so I know it works great.

Just make sure to do a CWM backup before flashing, to be on the safe side.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Can you also use the Samsung kernal flasher?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
You can use an app called nitrality. It allows you to flash kernels and roms it also let's u make backups and restore. If you're interested.. :thumbup:
