Where can I get this dark side cache?????

CM 10 *****ES!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
I'm sorry that doesn't apply
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] allprogrammed:
I see that you've removed the Dark Side wiper zip part of the instructions. I used it. Is that gonna be a problem? The only problem I'm having right now is when trying to reboot it hangs on the pink 'goodbye!' screen and I have to pull the battery.

Thanks for the great work on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
I see. I'm a noob so I can't "take stuff out" but I can tell you I uninstalled all 3 tethering apps i was trying (including Foxfi) adn reinstalled WiFi tether only and it worked. apparently the programming was crossing each other. ( I noticed that when I'd tun on the other Tethering Apps they'd all present themselves as "Foxfi"). So WIFI Tether works. :)

Does this refer to restoring data in Titanium Backup? I hope it doesn't mean I can't restore app data.

When you say do not restore Data are you referring to Titanium Backup? Restore Apps but not the Data?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shalpp:
Flashing now. Will keep you updated on any issues (hopefully none)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] falker2008:
Tw launcher keeps not working
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
This us an issue with pics and an outdated recovery. Try wiping caches and fix permissions again manually
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Restoring data can cause issues. Go ahead just keep in mind that may very well be the cause if you run into issues
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] michdj00:
clearing cache, davik and fixing permission resolved the issue with the low memory issues i was having with the camera. This ROM is rocking. Fast, super reliable and the best battery life i have seen on my blaze.. thanks for the great work
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
can you erase and format internal sd? if you do dose it hurt cwm? I have all my photos backed up and nothing on the sd but a few empty folders. only folders with files is one named android/data and clockworkmods. those are only two folders with files I am concerned about. The only thing I did not try on last flash to Blaz3r 2 was fix permissions and I never really cleaned up the internal sd from the guy who had phone before me so I want to clean up as much as I can and try again with fix permissions this time and see if better luck. oh should I ever have to reset the flash counter too?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
The cwm folder just has your backups. If you have made a nandroid backup you want to save before wiping make sure to save it somewhere but other than that you are good
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] oniddy:
Glad to hear!!! But I'm always on phones like the HTC hd2 which was one of the first coolest phone to start heavy traffic and a tremendous amount of roms not to mention it was the first phone with flash player :eek: ,galaxy 4g,mytouch 4g which still to this day has so many new roms and T-Mobile Samsung galaxy s2 ,and with my wife's blaze I never really had fun with it like that until now that ya have ptmr which is best dev at sgs2 and yaa have working cm10 now also so things are starting to get good up in this b***** loL this is still a amazing phone 1.5 dual core all ya need is ptmr and other great devs and ya are straight

V3 test release on its way up
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theshowman:
Anxiously waiting for the release/change notes :)

One problem with v2 (never did try v1) that is getting more pronounced is the freezing of twux. It was seldom happening at first but now it seems to happen way more frequently. Over ten times a day.

Thanks for your hard work btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] handieman:
At first it ran smooth and after a week or so it starting to freeze more often but I love this rom and hate to so back to gingerbread
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] razielpr:
Is there going to be a v3 of this awesome rom??
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Yes sir! Will be sending to tester later today
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
Blaz3r 2 is running great now on my phone so It was a problem with my internal sd... I backed up only things I wanted and did a format on both internal 1.5 and my 16 gig external and and did full wipe and fix permissions and flashed Blaz3r 2 and been running perfect all day and much better battery life now too.

I did not think my sd would have caused all my issues but running format and fix permissions did the trick for me

thanks for an awesome rom and can not wait to see v3 !!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Version 3 is UP!!

GO GET IT
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Flowbyte:
It's 1.20 and I have to flash this now :) thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] badboy68:
is it ok to flash over version 2
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Always full wipe. Back up with app2zip it is amazing do from market . Wipe cache first
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
Does putting most of you apps on the SD Card affect the battery life? or does the memory card in affect the battery life in any serious way? Say a bad memory card.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dvdneighbars:
I'm a CM10 user, but am tired of the bugs and many issues. I'll give you guys a chance. Please don't let me down! :P
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] badboy68:
Thanx for this update, ig worksnon this blazer
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Flowbyte:
No bugs here :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
it's there anyway for us to get/download the Sony walk man player apk?

s there anyway for us to get/download the Sony walkman player apk from the blazr 2 Rom? I'm an original Sony is gone blaze.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Flowbyte:
Back it up in titanium backup and restore it. Else I think there's a link to the apk in themes and apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] blakevon:
This may seem like a strange question, but did you happen to update the Build Number under about the phone to reflect this as Blaz3r 3 vs. Blaz3r 2?

Also, I know this is 4.0.4 but is it .431 or .587 or a different sub-version?

Last question, I think, is there a file explorer on here or do I need to download one? I could just be missing it under a different name...

Thanks!

(side note: wow, I just realized I definitely need to update my signature! This shows how often I post vs. searching and lurking!)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] badboy68:
How do u screen shot?

BLAZER 3 *****es
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Flowbyte:
Hold home and power together. For a few seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Thinking about trying this out. How's battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I noticed I cant get iloader for facebook to work on this ROM. Tried 2 versions of the premium app and tried the lite in the market and it just goes to a black screen and then I get the FC error.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
And here I was thinking that this rom couldn't get any better... and it did! Battery life appears to be MUCH improved vs v2. Also FULL WIPE including internal and external storage, system, data, and EVERYTHING is highly recommended as I had some issues on first install which was related to internal storage. Wiped everything and it's fantastic! Q: I noticed the 'pulse notification light' added in the display settings.... are we getting bln soon? I couldn't tell what this does.

Yeah I noticed that it shows Blaz3r 2 under about phone... but if you hear some cowboys from hell on boot you are on V3 :D

ES file explorer is ok for free, just remember to go in the settings to allow root access. IMO root explorer is still the best.

Nothing wrong here searching and lurking ...you are doing this right!! :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Flowbyte:
Solid explorer is best by far.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] daohoa:
is it worth upgrading from V2 ? I ask because it would take too long to reinstall all the apps and settings. Please share ur opinions. Thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] skullreapper66:
You could use titanium backup or app2zip for your apps. I've never used app2zip. But titanium backup is the shiznit. Just my preference.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] heavenlydemonic:
Bugs.

Followed these instructions EXACTLY:

ALWAYS FULL WIPE!

-Download ROM

-Backup your apps with preferred method(app2zip is great)

-Nandroid

-Wipe data ( factory data reset)

-Wipe system (Format system (in mounts/storage) if on CWM)

-Flash ROM

-Wipe cache/Dalvik

-Fix Permissions

-Boot system and DO NOT TOUCH FOR 10 MIN

-After the 10 min, reboot phone and enjoy the Mind Trick

-DO NOT RESTORE DATA!!!

After setting up my account and getting to the home screen, I long-touch to try and set a lockscreen wallpaper like I have on the last two versions of this ROM.

Touchwiz dies and sometimes locks the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] butterquark:
I have been getting random Touchwiz hangs. If I'm patient they go away. I think the only step I missed was leaving the phone for 10 minutes and rebooting after initial boot.

I just got really excited for the new ROM. Could this be my issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Its the launcher you have to set from gallery
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] heavenlydemonic:
Yeah, I got it sorted, just thought you would like to know about the bug =)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Thank you! Ya its a frustrating one but its the differences in phones that the launcher was made for
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawndotting:
not bad,,,,congrats to the team...i am no longer a cm loyal....no issues so far with this rom,,,,been using or two days now,,,
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] heavenlydemonic:
Not complaining at all, I appreciate your work and figured there would be bugs =) Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] putney:
In about phone build number is still Blaz3r 2. Is that a bad flash on my part?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
No I forgot to change the build I'd in properties. Just a number no biggie
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Can anyone get iloader for fb to work on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theshowman:
Been running the rom on a fresh install since this morning.

Has been running seamlessly.

No twux hang ups either.

I don't think it is related to this build but for some odd reason, my bluetooth hands free isn't auto reconnecting. I'll investigate it further.

Thank you for your efforts.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] eleon:
How? I have tried it and it doesn't work. Are there any special instructions you could share. Last time I used Foxfi on another built, think it was the tweak 1.6 and it work then. Maybe it doesn't work with this rom. Can anyone help...please...!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
What doesn't work? The tethering being blocked is not an issue with ROM it is T-Mobile watching your browsers user agent. I will add a good read to the second post for you
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Info added
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] boulos:
First,

Let me say thanks for this very nice ROM. I have a question regarding mounting the SD card versus the internal memory. Currently, certain apps like offline GPS (copilot) look to the internal memory for maps. In my previous phone (Atrix running gingerbread), The application looked to the external SD. I searched the forums and found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33253737 and this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1895808&highlight=vold I was able to find the vold ile and make the edits; however, my internal memory does not appear to be mounting. It shows up with 0MB of space. The external card appears to be mounting. The vold file in this ROM appears to be different than either of those. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong? Also, should I uninstall all of my apps and then reinstall before attempting this change?Any help is appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] JasonJunior:
Downloaded this rom earlier and it's been running great. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] blakevon:
I hate to ask...

Sorry I suck at formatting multiple quotes. But I got lost fast when someone mentioned the Touchwiz thing and then they resolved it but no one mentioned how they did it. I am on my third reflash of V3. The first time, the Touchwiz error when going to the home screen (freezing, waiting, getting a "not responding do you want to exit" thing etc), the second and now third time has just been a progression. It ran amazingly well then just started freezing out of nowhere (no immediate change of anything downloaded, installed etc). This time, no error popup, but it only happens if I go to the Home screen.

I don't have a bunch of crazy apps on here, but I can list the few I have if needed. Nothing is very obscure. I do have the SwiftKey keyboard (which I wish I didn't have to have) but who can survive with the keyboard that came with the release? No comma even? Sorry, just a grammar person when I type, but I prefer stock stuff if I can use it. This has been my only real "user interface" issue. Umm stock wallpaper... not sure much else. I didn't want to go crazy customizing stuff in case I had to do a bunch of reflashing.

Shared thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Also, I can promise and swear I have formatted, wiped, erased, and did it all again on the internal, external, all of that many times over. I know the importance of following steps, which is why I'm on my 3rd flash of V3 (which the problem is happening again with) and I wanted to make sure it honestly wasn't me being mentally dumb and missing a step.

Sorry for the post, I much prefer to search and lurk, but I haven't seen the answer to this issue yet in this thread (yes I seriously read it all) but I have seen the problem mentioned a couple times.

Thanks for your help, and I really do like this ROM! That's why I want it to work lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Not trying to give you a few PITA fix methods since you probably have all of your home screens just the way you want them, but you could try to clear data from Touchwiz and reboot (it's called Touchwiz Home under all apps). If you still have issues backup everything on internal and external storage and format BOTH. Could be a gremlin or two on the internal storage (I had a similar issue and 2 unsimilar issues which were resolved by wiping internal storage). Also try re-downloading the rom and check the md5. I have only had one issue with root explorer not responding since wiping everything and after a reboot everything has been smooth for days now.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] blakevon:
I am fine with redoing home screens if needed, I only use maybe 3 and I have redone them a few times now, so no worries.

Soo, I seriously can't find Touchwiz on my phone. The only reason I even knew what it was called was because of the error I got on the first flash. I have my icons under all apps listed in Alpha order. The only "T"s I have are Task Manager and Tweakbox (which is not enabled as I had that crash a flash before so I just stay away from it). When I look under task manager, I can't find any Touchwiz running.... I seriously feel stupid because I'm not illiterate with this stuff haha. So maybe you can tell me in layman's terms, where I can find Touchwiz?

Thank you!

Oh, and I am going to try and re-wipe and re-flash again tomorrow (I work the next 10 hours then must sleep) but knowing where Touchwiz is could be a help!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
go to settings>apps>all

it should be there
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] blakevon:
It was there! Thank you! I cleared the data, reboot, will try that out while I'm at work. Thanks again for the help on that!

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Alright, so I did the touchwiz data wipe, no joy after about 30 minutes. Froze on me and had to wait again. I will flash the ROM again when I get home. This is getting annoying =(
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
Been running Blaz3r 3 all day today and half day yesterday phone has been on battery for 12h 55m 19s and still at 85% but I have only made 2 or 3 calls and listen to some music for a while. I have used all three blaz3r roms and really like what you have done for us on the blaze! first thing I have done after setup on all three roms is install zeam launcher and got rid of nova and touchwiz with x-plore root/system/app but i am just a big fan of zeam and use it on most all roms I have ever ran and zeam launcher runs really really good on your rom! im not even interested in trying cm10 anymore. I got super fast rom and extreamly stable with this one!

thanks for the hard work and very good job on most stable and fast rom yet for me on my blaze!

is there a blaz3r 4 in our future?

oh and maybe a light saber dual for boot animation!!! lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] butterquark:
Could you expand on this statement? It's not clear to me what you meant.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dynospectrum:
Set your wallpaper via the Gallery... not from homescreen.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Try wiping it again and then reboot to recovery and wipe cache also. I'm not guaranteeing success but it's something you can do at work. Heck, wiping data, cache and davlik couldn't hurt if you plan to re flash anyway. Again something that can be done whilst at work. If all else fails, download the rom again and check md5 before flashing.

EDIT: One of the issues that I had had something to do with my internal storage. Supersu kept telling me that no binary was installed... Formatting internal storage and wiping everything and following the instructions in the first post solved it.

Most important thing is to let the phone sit for the full 10 mins before reboot. That means no touchy lol. Don't go through the initial setup or otherwise touch the phone in any way until rebooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] boulos:
For those that are interested, I was able to get the flash swap to work; however, you had to manually mount the internal memory after reboots. Here is what I did in case anyone is interested....

I changed my vold.fstab to look like this:

# internal sdcard

{

ums_sys_path = /sys/class/android_usb/f_mass_storage/lun/file

discard = enable

}

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 encryptable_nonremovable

# external sdcard

{

storage_struct = cover, "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd","/mnt/sdcard/usbStorage"

ums_sys_path = /sys/class/android_usb/f_mass_storage/lun_ex/file

android_secure_containers = enable

}

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theshowman:
One thing I noticed missing was the Voice command feature.

So after searching a bit, I actually ended up installing the S3 SVoice instead. I had to modify the build. Prop file to fake a GT-9300 though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
Tell me how you accomplish this

I get 10-15 hours when I do nothing on the phone and around 10 hours when i'm actively using it. Now, this time that you are getting is remarkable and i'm interested in knowing how you accomplished that. Can you tell me your installation process. (tell in detail; what do you flash or wipe. e.g. dalvic,storage etc.and please give me the sequence as well) I have tried a brand new battery and it hasn't affected my results. so I am thinking it might have something to do with how I flash the rom in the first place. Also, do you restore apps+data or do you install fresh?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
I worked all day yesterday and used phone all day and got 16 hours at 30% battery before I pluged in to go to bed last night. I work for dish network so i make lots of calls to customers and dispatch and dish to modify and activate jobs and my dishpointer app that helps find line of sight for the dish so my phone gets lots of use all day.

I had a memory issue when I tried to flash blaz3r 2 so i backed up only what I needed from internal and external sd and format both internal and external sd and then I booted into CWM and did as follows

1 wipe data / factory reset

2 wipe cache partition

3 wipe dalvik cache

4 wipe battery stats

5 fix permissions

I also run Ultimate_Kernel_Cleaning_Script_v2.6.3.zip which dose the same thing as steps 1 to 5 and I am not sure if this script is ment for ics and I think there is a newer version of it out but I run it last after step 5 and then flash rom and and reboot. after reboot I let phone sit for 10 full minits and reboot again and then set the phone up the way I like. I do also use x-plore to go in and remove touchwiz and nova launcher and install zeam launcher but its only cause I like zeam launcher better. just personal prefrence not sure if zeam launcher helps my battery life or not and I remove touchwiz and nova at root/system/app just to make sure they dont pop up asking which launcher I want to use which seemed to happen anytime I closed out of settings even thow I had zeam set as default.

I also run task manager and go to ram and click clear memory before I lock screan when I am not useing phone, I really don't know if it helps or not its just habbit cause it always says there are 22 to 24 things it clears out and not even sure what they are.... hope this helps and good luck I am really happy with blaz3r and hope to donate soon as I got some extra money after bills are paid

oh and I have been on blaz3r 3 for three days now with no bugs or reboots or freezes and everything works perfect

I install all apps fresh. never backed up my apps before but only install 5 or 6 apps and only takes a few minits

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

I also run linux mint 13 as my desktop OS so I dont run any of the MS sync apps. soon as I plug my phone into linux mint it pops up on desktop as two storage devices, my internal 1.5 gig and my external 16 gig. all my contacts and such are backed up on my google account so when I log into google play all my contacts and email show up. I dont know if the MS sync tool has to install anything on the phone as far as an app to sync with MS??? but that is the ony other thing I can think of that may be different as well for me on battery life??
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I'd also like to know as I hardly use my phone and the battery drops so much
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Linux mint is awesome. Thats what I use
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Anyone with battery drain should grab gsam battery monitor and see what is pulling your battery
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
I hear mint 14 nadia will drop gnome 3 shell and will be out end of nov. cant wait!

some apps are really bad about battery drain too... I always try to research an app before I install it to make sure its safe. wy wife is on gallaxy s III t-mobile and some times she puts new apps on that sucks the battery down real fast. then she has to scramble to figure out which app is doing it to remove it... I got her phone rooted and running cm10. I like my blaze too much to upgrade it but i really miss my nokia n900 maemo phone! sometimes I fire it up just to mess around with it :) maemo 5 was awesome!

not to be too much off subject but I see that ubuntu can be installed on android now....is it dual boot or is it a layer on top of the android rom? has anyone in here tried it yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Haven't tried it but didn't see any real reason other than to say you have it lol.

Ya i use 13 Maya right for all of my kernel work and building personal cm10. now looking forward to 14.

Ya I keep gsam battery monitor around to make sure I know what bit is if I see battery drain
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] eleon:
Discoroboto

I have been searching but did not find it. could you please share the location of the user agent and the tricks you mentioned? I had used foxfi on the tweak rom 1.6 and it work flawlessly... I really like this rom and I dont want to switch again.

Could there be a flashable rom out there that will remove the t-mobiles' monitoring agent...? once again excelent rom keep up tje awesome work!!
