[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
The BLN issue is something I need to clean up by request of the CM team. The driver we're on is a temporary workaround and the WiFi was something I considered my biggest issue. Now that I found the wifi bug, my last real hold out was supposed to be the BLN (and now additionally includes the flash).

I'm gonna talk to some people on the CM team that are in the deeper inner circle for advice, cuz the app space is a style thing and I am hoping maybe there's something I'm missing that I could be turning on, maybe a switch i could enable or something. However, sadly the fact of the matter is that the device only came with 1.2GB of storage for internal space, which is, unfortunately, the default location. And since this is an official rom, I don't think the CM team is gonna be happy with me doing something that really messes with what should be left to stock behavior.

This is the sort of space where, really, the custom roms would pick up the slack. The only real solutions involve changing the mount points around in ways that shouldn't be done in an official aosp rom.

As for the default photo location, I imagine the patch to set the camera storage location will get worked into the camera app sooner or later (hopefully sooner). It really feels like CM10 is starting to be more stable than not, and I hope that means now they're getting to the point of really the little details. And, they're racking their brains on the SoD bug...

As for donations, I'm getting pings now of people that want to show their appreciation through donations. I hadn't really planned to have a button or any link or anything, but I can understand people wanting to give something back. So I've decided to go ahead and look into adding a link or something on monday. I just want people to understand that it'd be for the work that's been done, without any expectation of work going forward. I won't have this phone for much longer, so the work will slow or stop at some point.

Thank you all! (and don't forget to set your clocks back) ;)

been trying to "bug" out my flash. It works perfectly, torch or with camera. using latest nightly, no dirty flash (not good anyways.)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Don't be discouraged, we all appreciate what you do and know it can't happen overnight. Thanks again for fixing the wifi mac bug!:)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Can you disable the flash? I.e.. go into the settings and force the camera to never use flash. Then take a picture of a really dark scene which would normally enable the flash? Does the flash come on? It does for me, and it shouldn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Hah! look at that, added today :)

Let's hope it gets approved.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Goodbye_Alltel:
I was able to reproduce the bug myself on a clean flash of the latest nightly. The flash works fine, but did you try turning it off? I set the camera to not use the flash, but it went and used the led flash anyway when I took a picture. I'm using the latest leaked camera from 4.2 in the themes and apps section.

Btw, I am unable to get photosphere working. The alignment takes forever and never lets me get more than one shot in before it practically freezes. Does anyone have an idea on how to get this cool feature working? I understand this device has a gyroscope, so we at least meet the hardware requirements (afaik).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dvdneighbars:
My exact issue.. I've purchased Asphalt 7 and it's irritating not being able to play it D:

Dr4stic, you are freaking awesome and I appreciate your work. Add that button on Monday, I'm more than willing to donate (after payday of course)(:

Ive been getting a random reboot issue since 11-1, where the phone will randomly reboot itself, then, when it does boot into the launcher, will sit for about 5 seconds then reboot again. this continues until I pull the battery, which causes it to stabilize a for a while. has anyone else had this? I've using Lightning Zap kernel, so could that be the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] phoenix98:
Anyone else's alarm not playing sound when it goes off? Mine isn't. I'm on build 03. That's the only issue I've had so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] strungoutfan78:
Read through this thread. This question had been answered multiple times, including when i asked it. :) You have to manually adjust the volume sliders for the volume to stick. If that doesn't work then I'm not sure.

I've been using "Directory Bind" for a few nightlies now. Works great. Solves space issue. It's been mentioned here before but you might link it in the OP or Apps forum to save some headache for those just joining the party. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

Just had a weird problem.

I tried to update to the latest nightly (11/5) through the CM Updater in system settings. The download showed up in the notification bar, but never began downloading. It just spun in the initializing download state (no percentage). I figured something had gone wrong with the download manager, so I killed it. The notification came right back up. I rebooted the phone, upon reboot, the notification came back again. I then downloaded and flashed the update manually, and again, it came back.

I'm now just gonna wipe and do a fresh install (can't hurt anyway).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mdneilson:
I'm on the 10-4 nightly and having problems downloading from the market. I think it is a problem with the download manager. I've tried several wipes and app data clears to no avail. I'll upload a logcat when I get home late tonight.

I'm having the same issue. The option exists to turn off the flash in the camera, but even when you force the flash off, it still flashes. It is kind of annoying.

Donation links live

So, it's been requested by some that I create a donation button. While I have avoided doing this up to this point, I can appreciate that some have wanted to show their appreciation for what I've done with some actual dollars.

In that direction, I've found the donation things for the account and added my paypal information, both to my profile as well as to my signature. You should now see a "Donate to me" button under my handle over there on the left, as well as a plea to help get me clean down in my signature.

Now, before you go and donate your life savings to me, I really want you to understand the following:

1) While I have the links there, this isn't necessary. You don't have to donate anything. This is open source and this is how this community works. I am a small part of it. It has taken some time and will continue to take some time, and is a fairly labor intensive thing. And therefore I do appreciate anything sent my way.

2) If you donate anything to me, please understand that it is for the work that's been done thus far. It should not be for any expectation of work or support in the future. My time with this phone is limited and while I'll help as much as I possibly can to get it stabilized, I also have a life outside of this phone and other circumstances that might make continuing support difficult.

3) I ported the heart of this phone, the Kernel which has all the hardware drivers and settings, and got the device shell incorporated into CyanogenMod. There are other projects that will feed on this work and provide additional non CM options. If you're upset about something you don't see, keep in mind that the work I've done is towards CM incorporation and does not go beyond stock implementations. And beyond myself, there are many that work within CM and provide quite a lot of labor towards getting this all together and on your work. I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not the only dev here :)

I really do appreciate anything sent my way. I appreciate the sentiment, the support, and little bit of chaos that's come of this experience.

Thanks so much guys!

That is the link for 4.2 gaaps. Confirmed working on at least 11/5 nightly. It will also remove the 4.1.2 gaaps. Sucks cause you have to reflash 4.2 after every update, oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
I believe so I flashed when I updated cm to a new nightly so u should be good they're just for Google 4.2 which is still Jelly Bean but it has photo sphere and so other new features Gmail 4.2 with pinch to zoom and some other good stuff

PSA: TiB Tip...

Folks, for those of you on the "flash everything you see" track, you might wanna read the following:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/06/new-in-titanium-backup-create-flashable-zips-of-all-your-apps-and-data/

I highly support Titanium Backup, and especially the Pro version. It's worth it's weight in gold, and with this new feature, basically makes Nandroid backups pointless.

If you install TiB, make sure to go into the preferences and set it to use the SD card for the backup folder instead of the local storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] strungoutfan78:
FWIW I hate the clock in the 4.2 gapps update. I much prefer the 4.1.2 clock. Pretty radical interface change there.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jdruc:
I still don't get it, how is a bind mount safer than a regular mount? If anything, I'd say it is riskier because if for whatever reason your destination directory doesn't exist the mount will not work. Then whenever an app needs it, it will create the directory and will start writing to it. Next time you reboot your bind mount now works and your data is no longer there because now the bind mounted directory is "on top" of it.

Anyway, I guess whatever gets the job done.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Ultimately, ANY of these situations is not optimal. Anyone that does this needs to be on their toes about what they're doing. However, with a bind mount (I'm assuming, based on my experience with them on real servers), if it fails, the data doesn't go missing, it just goes messy, and it's up to the user (who should know what they're doing) to clean up their situation. Also, you can specifically bind mount just certain directories, i.e... for a specific app you want to move.

With a mount point swap, if the sdcard is missing, suddenly you have nowhere to put your data and the whole device fails to operate properly. It also doesn't let you drill down to moving specific directories like a bind mount. Finally, a mount point swap requires you to mess with the internals of the phone in quite a direct way.

Even if the mount swap is more desirable for some, I don't think it's safe enough for the masses. But you're right, in the end, it's about what gets the job done. You are your own admin :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
BLN appears to be functioning properly after the latest 11-07 nightly, but for whatever reason I needed to manually wipe cache and davlik to have my radios (cell and wifi) work. Obviously the kernel was updated for this to happen, so if anyone has any issues updating through CM updater (which is how I did it) just reboot to recovery and wipe. I've been using/testing other roms over the past few weeks and I'm amazed just how far things have moved along! BLN working properly (length and duration), no death screen of death... looks like we are getting closer and closer to a stable release! Thanks again for all of your work dr4stic!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] browniespeaks:
+1, I'm currently only binding downloads, DCIM and Pictures dirs. Titanium backup restores the bind and SU permissions on update. Only one SOD today and seemingly no cause. Phone is very stable even with that one hickup. Wish instagram would play catch up.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Chitown021:
Do you think they'll ever "bake in" all of the 4.2 gapps?

I love this rom but have to reflash the app pack with every nightly update. Not the biggest issue in the world but it would be cool to make those a permanent part of the rom.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Yeah, CM10 doesn't have it (yet)... Once I figure out the keylights stuff, I may come back to this and take a poll... maybe I'll default the location to the SD card (assuming everyone else might want that too).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
Do you think fixing the button issue is a huge obstacle? I don't mind the pictures anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
I'm gonna try rebuilding the kernel with the stock drivers to see if that makes a difference. The obstacle is the build time. Right now on my hardware, a kernel build takes about 15-20 minutes, a build of cm10 takes about 4 hours.

There's about 4 different "button" drivers (volume, power key, touch keys, ear jack) and I'm not sure which one(s) handle the touch bar. So it's about rebuilding the kernel a bunch of times, making sure I don't mix up the sources, and testing each one to see if something lights up.

I always thought wiping data wiped dalvik, given where it resides. I have a vague recollection (admittedly from a different phone) that cache is wiped with a data wipe as well. Are these things not the case?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
I'm sure it is, honestly I don't really know but it's easier to put "wipe your dalvik to avoid problems" somewhere... At least I'm not going OCD like on the SGS3 forums.. over there the major "flash method" includes some weird tripple super wipe of EVERYTHING :)

Got a 927 error when I first loaded the app market, but wiped data/uninstalled updates fixed it.

I havent checked NFC, I'll try that later but it worked on CM9 so I'm guessing it will be fine.

Adjustable volume is working too.

BLN Control app causes hard reboot (yea I know bln is not working)

WiFi/Bluetooth working great.

Flash is working (still a big deal to some people)

Soft Keys have not acted up on me yet besides the forced restart from BLN app.

Navigation through the settings menu is smooth, though sometimes jerky. You must look hard to see this minor thing.

Result: Holy crap what a good job! Sadly I don't see any cat eating options, but I'm sure they can be ported later. Either way, great rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Chitown021:
I had my first random freeze/reboot in a couple weeks. The first major issue I've had since a couple weeks ago when navigation was giving me trouble. I'm on the 11/7 build and it seems to be related to cm updater. I ran a manual update check and got fc then I ran it again, it came back saying no new update was available, and then my phone froze and wouldn't respond. About 20 seconds later the screen went black and it had to be rebooted.

Im on the same build. Try installing the updates from here http://get.cm/?device=t769. When you download it from your phone, install manually from cwm or if you downloaded from pc install to your cm updater file. If you put it in your cm update folder you can install it from settings just like any other update. The pc method (for me) seems to be the easiest way. The only downside is it doesnt supply the changelog, but if needed you can find it here... http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#t769/cm10/1352382970 . Hope this helps

I havent had any sods or shutdowns in the last two builds. Have you checked all of your apps for compatibility with jelly bean? I had a lot of sods while using juice defender. Some apps just aren't compatible go to https://play.google.com/store?hl=en and check when the apps you are using were last updated. This will probably resolve at least half your problems. If you have to have the app try emailing the dev with your exact problem, logcat etc. . I emailed yelp and the dev updated it for compatibility with cm10. :)

When my phone connects to the Bluetooth in my car the ringtone volume settings change from vibrate only to full volume/no vibrate automatically. When it disconnects from Bluetooth the settings don't revert back to how I had it set before. It's this normal behavior? It's caused my phone to go off in class several times because I forget that it does this on its own.
