Looks like T-Mo has been screwing with the Wifi-Calling again. I am not sure about stock roms but I have tried 2 different phones and both have the issue of when you get network we will send this. A G2x piece of junk and the Blaze 4G both with rooted roms have issues with this. Wiat I think the G2x has a none rooted rom. I gave it to my wife and took the Blaze when they could not replace her Sensation. I put the V21y on the G2x before I gave it to her. She had like 2 days of not being able to send or receive MMS. After 3 reboots everything started working again.

T-Mo loves to screw things up so every one will leave them and go to AT&T. This is so AT&T can buy them in a year or so. Just like you cant use data plan while roaming. I have some ugly words for them.

Looking forward to trying this rom. Am on the dKnight-buld7_fixed and not happy with it at all.

So I think the MMS thing is a Wifi-Calling T-Mo issue and not your rom. I almost think its some kind of update. Could it be the OTA update they just did last month? Knowing they were going to do something they pushed out an update that most custom roms cant take.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
I'm trying this rom out, so far I like a lot :) but just to be sure the swagger toggle does nothing right? Lol

Btw this rom is so far nothing g but great. Ill have some better feedback after I give it a week of use. But I really like all the small visual tweaks, good, :) idk if this can easily be done but I noticed you left the software update tab under settings, in darkknight erikmm removed it since there is no use for it. Just a small suggestion :p also when I boot I still see a darknight animation plus yours, does this include eriks kernel or is it just not include anything so I keep what I had?

Thanks, once again great job on the rom :)

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Swagger does nothing - its just silly (though it may be connected to something else... hehe). Yeah I left the system update thing - I tend to do that. I dunno why but it never bothers me. The rom here is JUST /system, so it didn't change any kernel stuffs (which allow for the custom boot animation). Interesting you still see a different animation though - did you wipe data? Just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
Yes full wipe. Darkknight boots with a Batman logo then a red boot animation. I still have the first Batman purple logo at boot then it switches to the android animation that you added. I'm guessing its the kernel or something. So far perfect rom though. Thanks! I still have my darkknight nandroid, I was just gonna test this a bit, but so far have found no reason to leave it :) tomorrow I will see how battery runs.

Is there anyway the mms app could be modified to stop compressing images?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Hmm... not sure on that. It seems like it should be possible, but I'm not sure if it was done to make the message sendable over the network. To be honest I don't use other MMS apps to know if this is just a frivolous stock function or something necessary - so if any others have info please share :)

Regardless, I'll look into it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
Enjoying the rom, battery life just as great, second day running rom and my results.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
BEAUTIFUL ROM!!!!!!! Very Very smooth. Been running for two days and it is spectacular. I have not found any issues so far. Please continue to update. Super battery life. Was very unexpected.

:good::laugh::D:victory:

Can you add vibrate or silent to drop down menu. OOPPSSS I just looked, its there. :confused:

So happy so far.

Just found an issue. Cant get USB Mass Storage to work. Says plug USB cable in and I do then sounds like cable has been plugged in and message goes from screen but no connections to computer. I rooted this phone with this computer so I know it has drivers. But I will check again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
I so much agree. USB mass storage works perfectly on my end. Maybe a bad flash?

@livefaster is this your daily driver for now? I want to try different roms other than dark knight
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dynospectrum:
Currently using this as my DD. Great ROM, nice and clean, with all the features one could ask for! Thanks again :thumbup: :D

Sent from an underground grow op
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
Yes currently my DD :) don't let the alpha label scare you, its not near alpha lol. This and darkknight are both great roms. Hard choice to choose between both. But I've had darkk for quite a bit now so I'm giving this a shot and so far perfect for me, I like the tweaks, the swipe to remove, and the widgetpicker, small improvements but really do make a difference. And don't forget all the other stuff which makes this run so smooth and long on battery ')

Amazing rom, hope to see much more added to it :]

Woah! This rom is super fast! Nice work
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
Sorry. Works here. :mad:Stupid cables:mad:

This ROM is the bomb. WAY fast. Everything you need. I have not tried wifi tethering yet. Anyone else? Does it have the stupid T-Mo restriction of you got to buy something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
I don't have a statusbar. :\

EDIT

I installed something in the play store.. you know how it give progress on the app you're installing..?

Yeah.. status bar just appeared. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
I just rebooted after the first boot since I didn't have one either and it worked lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Did this happen on the first boot after flashing? I have been chasing that damn issue for I dunno how long lol - but there are 3 simple workarounds for it (apparently a 4th even, though it's very much related to 1 of the 3):

1) Reboot

2) Skip the initial setupwizard stuff - in other words get out of the setupwizard as FAST as you can. If the media scanner is still running when you get out of the setupwizard, you'll have statusbar.

3) I tend to have USB Debugging checked for this, but just plug in your phone to the computer for a second, then unplug it. This forces a media scan, which brings back the statusbar. Related to this is the installing something in the playstore idea (the progress bit at the top).

I am unsure what is causing the issue - some edit I've made in SystemUI is cranky about showing itself while the setup wizard is in play to the point of forgetting to return once it's done. It's annoying, but the fix is easy at least.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Isn't it part of the launcher gestures?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
I know the stock browser saved all downloads to external sd, any way to change default directory on this new browser? Or good idea to just flash stock browser back using your empty flasher thing? I seem to like this aosp browser much better though, besides the download to internal small problem.

Sent from my SGH-T769
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Perhaps I'm showing how much of a novice I am at all this, but... I am confused as to understanding what you mean here. Is this in reference to the status bar disappearance?

I didn't realize it was doing that - I'll see if there is a way to force the downloads to the external SD. It could be the DLCrutch apk as well, as that facilitates the DLing of a number of file types that the stock browser would normally not allow to be DLed.

On an unrelated note... I've begun dabbling with lockscreens :)

On another unrelated note, has anyone been able to get the CRT animation working for screen ON (i.e. shows when waking the phone)? Screen off CRT is fine, but I'm having a devil of a time getting the on version to behave.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Never seen the CRT on, funny I never noticed til now, and yeah the Swiping gestures I thought maybe was a reason for a missing status bar. I thought mine was gone til I swiped down and it came back....just a thought is all.

And nice on the lockscreens!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
How do you install the deodexed system apps if they are not CWM flashable.?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Pull out whatever one(s) you want to install, then DL the empty CWM zip file from the OP - open it up and drop whatever apks you pulled out of the non-flashable zip into the /system/app folder in the flashable zip. Then shove it to the phone and flash :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Neat. Going back to your ROM now. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
I have to skip past the wizard setup to configure wifi as that's all I have and have my sid hidden and mac filtering. Status bar did the same to me. I did not reboot. I just kept setting up phone and status bar appeared. Like it took a log time to boot or install.

My hat is off to you. But this is the best Blaze 4G ROM in all of XDA. It some how even increased my radio signal and wifi signal. Or maybe they just pickup quicker. I was out running around last night and got 4g in spots I would only get G. And it switches between the different signals fast. I am at home now and never get 3 bars or Edge signal but I have it now. T-Mo should pay you to build their ROMs. Only issue I have is on wifi calling I have no MMS outgoing or incoming. I am on AT&T Uverse. But I think it's T-Mo issue as my wife G2x wss doing same thing and I rebooted a millon times and it came round. I think its just another ploy so that everyone starts leaving T-Mo so AT&T can buy them when they have fewer customers. Just like the data roaming crap.

Ok stepping off the box.

All things aside your ROM is the bomb. Better keyboard is all I could ask for. I am using SwiftKey and I have no complaints at all.

You need logs or something let me know. Are you taking donations or do you need.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Wow - thanks for the kind words! I wish I could take credit for signal stuff but I did nothing that should directly influence that sort of thing - that being said I'm happy your experience has been so positive! The wifi calling-mms thing is a big annoyance, and it definitely is something done on T-Mobiles end as this (at least in my experience) is how it behaves when completely stock. Looking into whether there is a way around that is on the to-do list, but truth be told it is likely beyond my skillset (doesn't mean I can't try though lol).

I went with a "vanilla" keyboard (the android one - I'll likely remove Swype if I haven't already) for simplicity, and I'm unsure I'll do much beyond that given all the nice options out there. Maybe I'll take a crack at making it look prettier... I dunno - that stuff is a bit hard for me to muddle through lol.

Donations are never expected, but always appreciated (link is in sig). I don't think I need logs of anything yet - at least that I've stumbled across. If you see any errors/FCs or anything like that pop up, then let me know (and logs would then be very much appreciated!).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
I just got off the phone with T-No Customer Service. He tried everything and I was actually speaking to Tech Support and not an )*&*% reading off a screen. Cleared Cache, Cleared Data, Redrop thru switch... Still same. They made a trouble ticket for the higher up techs. Not sure if thats a good thing. Would hate for them to find out I'm rooted with a better ROM than they have.

So what does Wifi Calling change on Messaging to make it work or not work? Can we strip apk from known working ROM and reinstall? Would messaging apk take care of all settings for android services? Does it matter what brand or model phone?

Not looking for "pretty", looking for one that works. The stock always types wrong stuff. Of which its me that types wrong but keys are to close together. Go look or try the SwitchKey keyboard. It has reviews almost as good as your ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
I just started using swift key and so far it's my choice of keyboard. I'm getting used to it a bit though like not pressing space after I end a sentence or else it inserts the next word prediction.

Sorry if this is a little of topic...

Sent from my SGH-T769
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
I'm not sure on this really. Totally guessing, but maybe wifi calling "turns off" the radios to force everything through wifi... but I have absolutely no clue.

Gotcha. Truth be told I use SwiftKey myself - I just liked the android keyboard better than the samsung version so I figured I would throw it in there.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] nate1023:
thanks for great rom

I have been using this ROM for my dd and have to say,its very clean and snappy love the toggle options great work dev I hope to c more of ur work
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
I flashed stock rooted rom by thaz to get the stock rooted kernel since I had eriks kernel and I was still seeing a batman logo on boot. Now the batman logo is gone, but also the Android logo I saw you added, I'm guessing since stock kernel has no boot animation support? But does this also mean that this kernel can't take advantage of some of the other battery/performance tweaks you have added?

Sent from my SGH-T769
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
To be honest there isn't anything I directly did (outside of debloating of course) that would constitute a battery or performance tweak. I did make a few changes to the build.prop, but nothing groundbreaking by any means. The stock kernel has been treating me just fine - though I plan on switching over and trying out erikmm's kernel here soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
He has added nothing to neither enhance or negate the battery performance of this ROM. However that being said yes stock does not have the support for tweaks such as

thomas.raines Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1 No support for Init.D scripts.

So the battery should tech. Be the same compared to Stock. If not a lil better.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Hard to believe you didn't do anything performance wise, this thing is so smooth now.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
did you use the OTA updated ROM?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500701

Can this mms.apk be used? And what does this do? MmsProvisioning.apk
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
If you post the stock rom you started out with I will load it and see if mms on wifi calling works.

You had been asking if there was any boot animation and I just had to reboot as I could not send any text messages. i could receive but not send just plain sms. Anyway the boot animation first was SAMSUNG then a bat with a progress bar then it was a split second of android man bot then lower case android word with search light effect.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
The Batman logo is the kernel splash I.put on my kernel for my dknight rom :P

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
The zip of system apps in the OP has the stock Mms.apk in it - unfortunately it seems the aosp variant I was using isn't quite as functional as I would have liked, so a trip back to stock Mms may be in order. Let me know if you find anything interesting.

As far as where the stock rom came from - it was just a dump of the system partition pulled from my wifes phone that I then went in and deodexed with a script I put together. Nothing fancy.

Still SLOWLY chugging away at lockscreens...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
dwitherell did you use erikmm's kernal?

Since I dont totally know what i am doing when I try to install the mms.apk it says this is a system app do you want to replace I say ok and install then it gives message on app not installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
It is a system app. After I replaced the app, I rebooted the phone and the messaging app was working
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
Sorry, dont know why that posted twice.

@ flyers00 so it works on wifi-calling to send mms?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
He only added system files and his updater-script in his.rom he didn't include a kernel so if you're cominf from dknight then you have the kernel that was on dknight if you were on sstock then youre on stock kernel and so on :)

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
If I remember correctly, it didn't work with wifi calling enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
So correct me if I am wrong then - the stock Mms.apk did not work with wifi calling enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I tried the rom the other day and could not get mms to work with stock app or handcent. I had wifi calling on and off.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Really? Huh - I know the stock one worked at one point... very strange. I suppose some testing would be in order then...

Did you clear the Mms.apk app data? I'm very surprised a 3rd party mms app didn't work...

*goes off to investigate*
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
You are correct, it did work at one point. I believe testing would be in order.

I cleared mms apk data and tried again. Unless something went bad with the flash its hard to say. 3rd party app did not work. Message I got was services not available and will try sending when they become available.

Be curious as to what you or others find out
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Wi-Fi Calling on or off? Wifi only, Wifi and data, or data only?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I originally had wifi calling on and mms didn't send. I took calling off and wifi only. It did send but took forever. I flipped data on and wifi off, mms went right through
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Chitown021:
I hope no mms is not an issue with this Rom. I just loaded it this afternoon and I love it. Come to think of it I don't think I've sent any messages and I know I haven't received any.

I will have to be sure and test it tomorrow. I typically like to use Handcents.

Edit: is Facebook sync not working in this Rom? I've selected the sync option but it doesn't seem to be pulling the pictures.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
Mms is not a problem with this rom, works well. Your Facebook sync issue, I have the same problem, but even in stock rom even before I rooted my phone it has never synced for some odd reason. Maybe my phone or the app...

Mms works fine here - but keep me posted.

First lockscreen figured out :) Now testing it...

EDIT: For what its worth I asked my wife and she said she has no issues w/ Facebook syncing - but to be honest I don't know if she means contact pics. Also, I hear reports of that being buggy across Roms/stock/phones, usually followed by recommendations for Friendcaster or something similarly named. Sorry for the troubles!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Chitown021:
That's what's weird, it synced on the last Rom I used (JMT) before this one. Unless it just seems like it did because the data was pulled from my titanium backup.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] robertguero:
MMS does not work while Wifi-Calling is enabled. Did not have any issue with this until I came to this rom. Was on dKnight-build7_fixed before this and MMS with Wifi-Calling enabled work just fine. I have had stock rom, stock rooted rom, stock rooted rom deoxed and debloated and the dknight.

MMS is not sent thru the true data side and is not necessary to send MMS per T-Mo. I had exhausted my domestic data roaming and MMS still worked just fine. Data does need to be turned "on" but actual data is not necessary.

If I try to send a MMS with Wifi-Calling enabled it will not send only giving "will send when service is available". If I turn wifi-calling off, data off and wifi "on" with cellular signal it gives same message. If I turn off wifi-calling, turn "on" data and turn "on" wifi with cellular signal then MMS will send. If I only have data "on" and cellular signal then MMS will send. Problem is only when trying to send thru wifi-calling.

So I would say yes there is a problem with MMS on wifi-calling on this rom.

In contacting T-Mo they said some phones MMS on wifi-calling just wont work. But this is why I asked for the original rom before tweaks to see if it worked. I will even go back to total stock rom if needed to test. BUT only if you will build a rom with erikmm's kernal so I will have to come back to. Or if I can find tutorial to put kernal separate.

My phone was not easy to root. I could not get into download mode just from holding buttons on the phone. From what I had read at the time of root there were only a handful of phones like this. Not sure if its a hardware thing or software to make it not easy to root. I got it to work with ADB.

Not sure what this affects but I am running this rom, Blaze Tweaked 1.0D Alpha, with erikmm's kernal. As I did not even think about the kernal still being there coming from dKnight rom when I loaded this Blaze Tweaked 1.0D Alpha rom. I will tell you that it is AMAZING with these two. This phone is Blaze-ing now. Honestly everything seems to be faster. Picking up signal, wifi distance, opening of apps and anything else I can do with the phone is quick. No FC's, no glitches or hangups. I am sorry to say I did not get the same output from the dKnight-build7_fixed rom.

T-Mo upper tech support just called but could not hear them as my wonderful wifi-calling was garbled. He tried calling back but it went straight to voicemail. He was calling to troubleshoot this issue of the MMS not working. I am not calling him back. He asked me to put my sim in wifes g2x. I did and could send mms on wifi-calling just fine. BUT she is on 2.3.4 and her sim will not work in my phone. So much for that test.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Alright - so the last day or so has been spent with (stock) MMS.apk, and here is what I found:

- SMS works in any scenario

- MMS works when WiFi and data are on

BUT definitely does not work when WiFi calling is on. This was done on full bloated (ugh) odexed stock as well as deodexed, so if other people have this working with the stock MMS.apk (the same one that can be found in the zip file in the OP) - please let me know as it means there is either an issue with my wife's phone or maybe something peculiar about the WiFi connection I'm using. I'm baffled though.

Also - does anyone know how you change the color of the background BEHIND the bubbles in a conversation...? Seems that is something that perplexes quite a number of folks...

Oh, and flyers00 - I had no issue swapping MMS.apks on the ROM itself, so I am unsure as to what the issue was when you tried it. Also, I wasn't able to view the screenshot you posted, though I expect it looked like what mine did when it didn't send.

Feedback would be much appreciated on this, as if its an issue with my phone (as it didn't work when full stock) I would like to know - that way I don't go crazy trying to figure this out lol.

In other news - got a
