Using Google Chrome, Firefox or Opera, search the plugins using the phrase "User Agent" and install any of the top downloaded and highest rated plug-ins. Once you've downloaded it, select "safari" or any "Android" or "Ipad" (these all have worked fine for me). Then tether from your phone using "Wifi Tether" or "FoxFi" (From Play Store) This will bypass the T-mobile Hotspot upsell.

I'm posting this reply while tethering from Wifi tether --using Chrome-- User Agent Switcher.

I'm not sure why but if I wipe the cache partition in recovery it breaks the ROM. Fix permissions also seems to not work.

Bit odd. But nothing major.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
I don't know if it's been mentioned or not but in the quick panel you can't disable mobile data when wifi is on. I also don't know if this is specific to this rom or if all roms have this little bug. I left data off when I left the house today (but forgot to turn off wifi) and needed data on to get a picture message and then wanted to turn data back off (I have the lowest tier data and don't want to burn through all of it) afterwards and couldn't until turning off wifi. When I turned off wifi, data then turned off also without having to touch mobile data to turn if off. Nothing major, a minor inconvenience at most.

Touchwiz Calendar

I truly love Touchwiz Calendar, but I have discovered that it can't be downloaded separately as it only works with Touchwiz type ROMs. Since this ROM uses Touchwiz launcher, does that mean this calendar could be used in this ROM? Finally, if yes, any chance it can be included or even installed separately?

Thank you!

Boot into recovery wipe caches and fix permissions

Wiping caches in recovery kills the ROM for me. It refuses to boot if I do that and I need to reflash. I also can't get fix permissions to run. It starts and then stalls pretty fast.

Using lots of RAM

Hi,

My phone has done with the installation. Very sweet and easy. Everything seems to be clean with good operator except for the RAM usage.

I have installed just 3 apps: Viber, Facebook, Instagram. I have Facebook and Viber running all the time, the usage jump from 300mb (per 772MB) to 500-600MB (per 772MB) Quite strange!

Anyone has any idea?!

Thanks

I must say that V3 is super smooth and snappy. I love my phone again because of this ROM. Once again, thanks alot ptmr3.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] butterquark:
I am having a weird problem. Before I flashed, the "move to sd card" function worked great. Generally, apps were stored at /mnt/sdcard/ which is the internal use memory. At /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ was my micro sd card that I plug into the side. Basically I can't get apps to install onto the external sd card like before. I tried an app called app2sd but it only moves apps from system storage to my internal usb. Any else already solve this?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] boulos:
I believe that has to do with the way Samsung mounts the flash. I searched the forums and came up with this solution I posted in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33562250#post33562250

Keep in mind changing the flash that was may have unintended consequences when you update ROMs. I would recommend making a back up before you try what I did. Also, any programs you currently have installed on the internal flash will have to be re-installed after you swap the memories. Hope that helps.....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] butterquark:
Thanks, I read that post but didn't realize this was the same issue I was having. So did you just edit the fstab file and reboot? I have used fstab in Linux but am new to android ROMs.

EDIT:

also, is this an issue with the ROM? It seems that no one would like this behavior as the internal storage/usb storage are quite limited on the Blaze.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] boulos:
IMHO, this is really a hardware issue of the phone. I came from an Atrix 4G and never had any issues. I have since switched to CM9. CM9 allows you to swap memories by a check box in the settings. The only reason I switched is I have grown accustomed to CM based ROMs.

As far as what I did, first I made a copy of the file. I edited it, and then rebooted. You should see the change when you look at storage. As a reminder, you will have to manually mount the internal storage on each reboot with the changes I listed. You will also have to reinstall any apps you already moved to "external" memory.....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
Anyone who wants to use their SD card to store Games like Need for speed or NOVA but can't because the internal SD is only 1.4gbs. Try downloading "Root External 2 Internal SD". It swaps your External SD card (in my case 32GB) into the Internal SD (1.4gb). Now all my games and Maps can be stored on the phone. Of course you should read the instructions on the Download page and follow the instructions carefully.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
How to use "Root External 2 Internal SD" (Galaxy S Blaze Instructions)

COPY ALL THE FILES FROM YOUR INTERNAL SD(1.4gb) TO YOUR EXTERNAL SD (e.g. 8, 16, 32gbs micro SD)

Download it from the Playstore and run it. Read and skip through the briefing.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImV1LmNvZGxhYi5pbnQyZXh0Il0.

1)Click settings ins the upper left corner and check Use Per default. Click "The Original internal mounting ..." make sure it says," /mnt/sdcard",

2)Then click the Original External Mounting..." that should state," /mnt/extSdCard"

3)Finallly click "The Ext. SD Device access. That should state, " /dev/block/vold/179:33".

4)Now Click the External 2 Internal Icon in the upper right corner to return to the main screen and check the "At Boot**" Box. (This box is distorted because the resolution of the app is for GS3. So dont mind the distortion).

Now reboot and you should be fine (may need to reboot twice). Your internal SD will disappear and your micro SD Card should be present.

Note apps installed through CWM may need to be re-installed. Everything else should work fine!!! Also, if your micro SD is of a lower class (e.g. Class 1 or 2) your phone would boot and run a bit slower (not a lot slower - but give it an additional 30 seconds to load after each boot as it would be reading from a slower source.) I find Class 6 and 10 SD cards to be speedy & seamless!!! Also, the developer is good with support. Ask him all the technical Questions.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] butterquark:
It can't be a hardware issue since it worked perfectly on gingerbread. The ROM shouldn't install apps to the system storage at all. It should install them to internal usb storage. And the move to sd option should move it to the sd card. I don't want to deal with swapping the memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
Moving apps to External SD (micro SD) never worked on Gingerbread (Samsung), and we don't expect to work on any Official ICS, JB Rom. Maybe Ptmr3, our personal legend can build it into Blaz3r Rom 4. But for now, it's something we have to do on using SD swapping apps or by writing our our own scripts. (juniors like myself use apps).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Apologies for the off-topic nature of this question, but as it's being currently discussed I figured I would post this anyway. Out of curiosity - is the moving-apps-to-external-sd thing what is supposedly done when going into Settings > Applications, then clicking on an app and selecting to Move to SD? Or is this some other app thing? I am likely confused and seeking some clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] butterquark:
Weird, cause it worked for me....Sorry if this has gone off topic. I was just sure that it was suppose to work. My micro SD card has a folder on it called .android_secure. With a bunch of .asec files. So I know it worked for me at some point. I don't want to sound like a whiny user. All this is fairly new to me and I think there would be a lot of happy people if it was worked out.

Thanks a bunch, Ptmr3, for the great work you've done. I have really enjoyed this ROM as my first android adventure.

Yes that is what I am talking about.

EDIT: I did the external 2 internal which worked fine (posted above). You lose the internal memory but it's worth it to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
We are discussing just that. Clicking move to SD in the application settings. The issue is, once when you clicked that the app would go to your micro SD but on recent Samsung phones ( and I hear it's not just Samsung, it's now a ICS thing) When you click move to SD or External USB storage, you move the file to a partition (Blaze has1.4gbs partition) of the phones own memory and not to the Micro SD card. So, when you want to install a game like the Dark Knight Rises(1.9gbs) or Need for Speed (1.8gbs), you can't because the apps only install on Internal memory (1.4gbs) and not to the SD Card(4, 8,32gbs etc). The game/app will give an option to install on the SD but the phone is "tricking" us and the app into believing that this partition(small) is our micro SD(large). Hence installations fail. So, one must either rewrite the phone script or mess with the partition or as I do, use an app to fix the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] themdg:
So-weet! New version. I'll give it a shot this weekend. I've had almost no major problems with V2. This is probably logged somewhere for V2, but I did notice that if you have the flash light on, and then your screen times out and turns off, when you turn your screen back on, the flashlight icon is off, and pressing it turns your flashlight off, then on. So many commas. Of course this is nothing, but I am tossing it out there in case someone was interested. I'll check it again in V3.

PSA: Consider donating to the dev if you like this rom. A little bit from each of us would probably go a long way. :)

Keep on keepin' on.

TouchWiz was giving me headaches every now and then, mainly do to **** I was doing, I am guessing. I installed Nova and prefer that launcher (and the issues of Pansi SMS not playing right when trying to send a pic went away).

Not sure if the issue was related to TW, but whatever ... all is good now.

With how awesome you have made Blaz3r 1, 2, and 3 I bet you could make a really awesome JB build ! just saying :)

I tried cm10 for 2 days and came back to Blaz3r 3 awesomeness!! Its smooth stable and great battery life!

really glad to have so many great devs making so many great roms for phones that some of these awesome devs dont even have.

and this one is my favorite one.

many thanks for the hard work!

you are everywhere huh?

Hey Ptmr3,

I just got my girlfriend the galaxy blaze and was looking at what roms were available and i find you ics build for it..with wifi calling of course...

she rarely ever lets me touch her phone for root or roms but i told her i found a rom from you (who ive built up by telling her about the awesome work on the note 2) and she said..well lets see how this runs and maybe...wow..a maybe.,.i guess ive built you up quite a bit :P

If she decides to upgrade software ill root her phone and get this on. From a quick look i saw you have a lot of s3 features.

One thing I havent researched enough and maybe you know...the s3 and the note 2 have nfc and wifi direct so they have a feature called s beam which combines those for fast transfers..the blaze has nfc and wifi direct but no sbeam..does your rom include this feature? I saw your post about tricks needed for the tether..ill have to do that for her too...stupid tmobile with their upsells...

and since im asking..you wouldnt have a rom with wifi calling for the galaxy nexus...if so i might have to donate again :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Lol no the sbeam feature had only been implemented in devices after the s3. The nfc and wifi direct shoukd be there and working fine. The Tethering is the same bs we are battling on the note 2 so go figure lol. And the nexus wifi calling is a no. The only devices i own are the galaxy s2 and the newly aquired note 2, No way im porting wifi calling to a purely aoso device without the device to try it with so sorry bro but thats a negative

from my Galaxy Note 2!!!

》Jedi Roms 《
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] harpocrates:
I was just wondering if you squezzed sbeam in your rom cause sbeam is a combination of nfc and wifi direct and the blaze has both.

For the tetherin I saw a post about what to do to get around it for the blaze..Im not sure if it was one of your posts redirecting to another xda thread about it.

The nexus is a back up and i havent seen any roms with wifi calling for it so was wondering if you had done any :). It would have been nice to add wifi calling to that.

It seems that the wifi calling from tmobile has been a lot more finicky on the new devices that have it like the s3, blaze, note 2 etc which is from their switch from kineto services to ims. On the blze i get errors like reg99 or er04 invalid sim, invali certificate etc...it then fixes it self but goes through periods of it so you dont know when its on and when its not. Since we have no service at home this becomes an issue. housands of posts ll over the net about similar issues. Has this rom made wifi calling a bit more stable? It would be easier to convince her to flash if it was so.

samsung allshare

1. is there a way to get allshare on this rom?

2. can't I just dump the dlna.apk from tthaz's rom, and would I need to do anything else?

3. Can I remove the flipbook apk without causing conflicts?

4. This is most likely my fault, but if I let my SuperSU update the play store wont let me download. Will a cache wipe and permission fix via CWM fix this, or should I do a proper reinstall (where I format /system)?

sorry for the million questions

EDIT - like a dumbass I didn't do my reading.. I wiped cache and fixed permissions, and all is well. now is it recommended that I install everything manually, or is it ok to flash the app2zip file(s) I'd made earlier? and what's this new "official" CWM 6 I've heard about? Not sure if I should put it in, as I've heard people whining about wanting the old one back...

Change launcher?

Hi all,

First of all, thanks to the developer for this great ROM. Earlier on I was using another ROM (nope, not CM, never liked it) which had several things not working, such as no flash camera etc. Anyway, this Blaze3 ROM is super.

I'd like to share one point to Mr. Developer and other users on this ROM, that is the launcher. The default launcher in this ROM is TouchWiz, but it was sluggish on my Blaze (one in five times, it took 30 seconds to respond). I switched to Apex launcher, and it was smooth. I have since then set Apex as default launcher. Everything is smooth now. I only had one self reboot since I switched to this ROM, it may have sth to do with Textme app.

My question is, is there a way to permanently remove TouchWiz from my Blaze? Occasionally the phone prompts me to choose between TouchWiz and Apex, e.g. when I exit from Alarm app.

Again not trying to be negative or anything, just share my info and try to get some additional help.

Thanks again to the developer and all users who contributed.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
3 options. The third option should be the easiest.

1 uninstall Touchwiz Home (I think that's what it's called) through titanium.

2 remove/delete seclauncher2.apk from /system/app using root explorer/file explorer of your choice.

3 when prompted to select your launcher make sure you highlight "use this always" before you select your launcher of choice (in this case Apex). That should remove those prompts.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] clu1688:
Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

I tried the 3rd option first, it worked most of the time, except in a few occasions when I exit from Alarm app, it still prompts me to choose between TouchWiz and Apex again. This is tolerable, but I was looking for a better solution.

I have not tried to remove anything yet as I am not a pro, did not want to accidentally cause any permanent harm. May try this second option once I done a full nandroid backup.

I lastly did use Titanium Pro to freeze the TouchWiz home, and it worked so far, no prompts any more. This seems to be most effective and safe way.

Thanks very much again,
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
You can delete the touchwiz added since this is a stock rom with apks added from other people who ported the touchwiz apps from s3 and some build.prop edits so removing touchwiz wouldn't cause issues as long as apex launcher is installed
