Battery Life

Again, how's the average battery life?? I'm getting 9.5 hours.( with basic usage. Screen takes up 40% usage) Is there a way to gain more out of the battery? Tweaks?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Like was said after your last comment... what are you using. What is your screen on time? Wifi? GPS? What do you consider normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Flowbyte:
I've just gone 11 hours of basic use that included around 40 minutes of calls and I'm at 50 battery. Using juice defender (free) and lux for brightness control. No gps or bluetooth but wifi used extensively.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
My battery usage

Today alone (work day) from 100% Charge to 12%: A Few calls (maybe 45 minutes total) about 30 texts (watsapp included) No GPS, less than an hour on WIFI. about 10 emails sent and about 25 read. no games (today). apprx. 10 mins web browsing. google email/contacts/calender set to sync. Brightness set to 60%. I got about 8-10 hours of battery life.

The Extra

What up Mr. Dev, just out of curiosity. I am fairly new to this flashing roms, which I must say it has been a fun experience, and although I have yet to run into any errors, since I've been following instructions in all until recently when I tried to download your ROM. I encountered a "download unsuccessful" several times by way of dolphin browser. Would it be possible to download your rom to a computer using Odin, or would it be possible for you to upload it on to another site? And that is the million dollar question...lol

Keep up the good work. Been hearing good things about this rom. Appreciate all the work and support.

I would like to try someday and learn how to develope a rom myself...contribute, and be amongst the recognized devs.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] nickmcminn60:
Just pull the stock music player from another rom and move it to system/app folder via root explorer and change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot be done with it.

Download astro file manager and turn on browser downloads in preferences. You can dl any file type ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] eleon:
Mr Frankenberry

Thanks for the speedy reply... Astros file manager is a great app, but that's for managing apps already in your phone right...? How do I get it to open a file from site. It's not a browser per se, or is it? Which app do I change preferences, Astros file manager, or Dolphin?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
I would recommend trying a different browser or method to download the ROM. I have tried multiple hosting sites and this one is by far my favorite. Fast downloads, large bandwidth etc

Hello guys and gals,

This ROM kicks butt! Quick question to you experts, I have a problem with very slow auto rotation (yeah, sounds like a personal problem). It actually started before installing this ROM, but seems to follow any ROM I install. Is there a setting I'm missing or is this a phone issue? I've followed the wiping/formatting instructions to the tee. Not sure what's going on here but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

edit---

The rotate to horizontal is OK, but when I move the phone back to up and down, it never moves back. I have to clse the app and open it back up..ie gmail. Is this by design?

This ROM is pretty slick. I've been waiting for a ROM like this ever since I got the Blaze. Thanks. :good:

Quick question: Besides the icon theming, this ROM offers the Galaxy S3 features like the messaging app and camera app? I'll have a chance to try this out today.

Galaxy S Blaze CM10
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] nickmcminn60:
Open preferences in ASTRO settings and scroll to bottom, you will see it. Then you can download ANY file type from even the stock browser. Chrome downloaded it fine. Only downfall from enabling browser downloads in astro is it "may" interfere with viewing attatchments in Gmail. You can always turn it on/off. I am sure you got it by now but just wanted to clarify. (Activating an office suite also helps)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
No the camera from the s3 has hardware dependencies that are not present and the messaging app hasn't been ported yet
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] nickmcminn60:
Great rom, had to remove Apex and the aftermarket TW launcher but all and all seems good so far. Works well with ADW Freak Launcher EX

can we expect V2 of this ROM? This ROM is the best ICS ROM on XDA in my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Yep this ROM will be continually updated
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] daohoa:
May I suggest to add V6 supercharge and Bravia engine to this ROM? Those will definitely add more value to this ROM. Anyway, thank you for bringing us a great ROM to use as a daily driver
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Actually the way I run my performance in my ROMs actually matches if not exceeds any difference made by the supercharger but while keeping the integrity of the battery life

Battery Life - Please advise

Okay guys, I definitely need some clarity here. My Battery dies in around 10 hour. I'm not sure if this is normal. I did buy a new battery and it still dies in 10+ hours.

My Basic usage: Web browsing 30 minutes. Games: 10 minutes. 45-65 minutes phone calls. 30+ texts sent. 10+ emails sent & about 25 emails read. I use wifi for about 30 mins to 1 hour.(passively - it's just on not necessarily browsing.)

So is it normal for my battery to be dying in 10+ hours?

Once again, the Rom runs great!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
Seems legit. That's some moderate to high usage. Keep in mind, many apps use background data, even games

nova launcher

I like the zeam launcher better than nova launcher and after installing zeam and setting it as default I still get nova launcher has stopped working errors all the time. and I can not uninstal it with app manager. is there a better way to remove nova?

thanks

very stable rom and have not found any problems so far. great battery life and very smooth only had one hickup with playstore freezing but let it sit for a minit and it came out but that is when I get nova launcher stopped working error. everything else is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
My onscreen time?? I'm not sure. maybe 3-4 hours out of the 10 hours (that's a guess). I can say that my screen percentage use is generally registers as 42-47% BUT this isn't just at the end of the day. I've checked it 1 minute, 5 minutes& 10 minutes after unplugging it and it gives me similar percentages.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
Actually, press on the screen percentage its a button, it will bring you to a screen where it tells you how long you have had your screen on.

Sent from my SGH-T769
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
3-4 hours of on screen time is very good battery life. And yes your display will always be a very high percentage of your battery use, it is telling you that all of your internal processes are running smooth and efficiently
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] inteltecra1700:
I appreciate the feedback, all.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] feedtheducks:
Awesome ROM! Is there anyway to rid of that Nova launcher? Its been giving me problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I believe you can pull or delete it from /system/app using adb or root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Flowbyte:
You can use titanium backup to remove it too :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] alvinvnguyen:
This ROM is very awesome. But sometimes it keeps hanging the phone or FC too much. After 48 hours, the phone rebooted by itself 5 times. The rest is good. Thank you so much for your all working hard to bring out some good performance like this ROM.

I believe a user here stated earlier that he used Titanium Backup to remove nova. I tried it myself and it worked! You will see an icon of a page with a check mark on it, click it and scroll down until you see the uninstall option. That outta do the trick... :cyclops:

A quick Q: if I wanted Swype back, is it just a matter of taking the apk from stock and putting it in system? Do I need to mess around with build.prop or take any other so's and stick in lib?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
I may have this update out tonight actually. Next version will be in testing for a few days before released
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:

Great ROM. Just switched from stock ics and cm10. Very smooth and nice eye candy.

The only minute things are:

Intermittent freeze on tw 5,

Phone ring tones and notification sound list very limited

Google didn't auto install apps even with 3g and wifi set up

Default mail client didn't like Yahoo.CA accounts (had to work around it)

otherwise I really like it and will be my daily driver.

PS I reinstalled Swype using titanium back up.

Thanks

This ROM kicks arse. Its the most stable ROM I've used for my Blaze. I've been using v2 for about 24 hours and notice an improvement with the battery life. Great job op and thanks for your hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] blazetim:
The tw launcher is constantly freezing on me.had same issue on first version.had to delete tw launcher and use nova.looks like I am going to have to do the same on this version.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Sounds like your flashing method isn't working out. Now since this launcher is obviously a port it may lock up here and there but if you are having constant issues, you need to try a reflash following the instructions in the OP exclusively
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
It locks up a lot on the blaze, but I've never seen it force close yet.

I did your instructions to the tee. Pure wipe not a single thing on my phone. As soon as tw was uninstalled bam! Superb Rom.

Ty again .

Edit. Forgive my ignorance, but I flashed the quick panel settings..No error, but I can't find where to change the settings. Lol

Kudos on the Walkman player and I must say I'm getting around 13 hours of battery life. that's 30% more battery life with my heavy usage. Now, there's one big question: Is NFC missing or moved? I can't find it any at all in the settings or widgets.

Thank you, and touchwiz question

Thank you for this rom. This was my first rom flash, and it went great. Donated.

I'm probably just doing something wrong, but I thought I'd toss this out there. I added 9 screens to touchwiz, and now when I try to get to the edit screen, touchwiz crashes.

Anyone know how to remove a screen in a config file somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
Thanks a lot man! Its the limit in the launcher. I can try to up the number if that's what you need

just flashed V2.....its AWESOME! Thanks ptmr3; will donate this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] themdg:
I have no need for 9 screens...I'm not requesting that feature (though, it's impressive that you can do it!) I was really just tooling around, poking at stuff. But now it's stuck. I can easily re-flash it and be fixed. Just wanted to point it out.

Also, my donation was small...but I'll donate more as I can.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ptmr3:
I appreciate it bro. If it is stuck I would open the launcher in settings/applications and clear data of seclauncher2.apk. thanks for the report though bro

And I'm back.

Pretty solid ROM for the most part. It's a joy to have SGSIII's TouchWiz UX on my phone.

That being said, I only really have a few issues with the ROM:

Hitting home to go back to TW Launcher sometimes makes it hang indefinitely until I reboot

Every now and then my phone will just lock up entirely. Sometimes I can wait it out, other times I have to do a hard reset.

Maybe once or twice I've had calls with no sound going through either end.

Looking forward to seeing this ROM kick ass in the future
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
All I can say after the update is... wow. No disrespect to the other devs working their asses off on CM9 or CM10, but after switching to this rom I realized just how much I was sacrificing in using CM (wifi calling, etc). Issue after issue and just to run CM... which I now realize isn't for me. Again no disrespect to the other devs here working hard on these endeavors. But after experiencing issue after issue in CM9 on my wife's Sensation 4G and now the issues with CM10 on the blaze... CM just isn't for me.

This rom is bad ass, stable, customizable, and provides good battery life. No lockups, reboots, wifi mac issues, call issues or other issue to report using blaz3r 2 since its release. All of the 'quirkiness' that was in build 1 is all gone and what is left is a rock solid rom with no compromises. :good: Thank you ptmr3 for this great rom! :good:

Thanks for this ROM, I'm loving it, I feel like, I'm back to pre ICS battery.

I am having a problem with data though.

In an effort to maintain battery strength, I disable data when in the subway. I try to do this with the drop down menu, but when I select the data tab nothing happens. So I long press data to get to the settings menu, where I disable (use packet data) so that seems to work, until I noticed today my phone picked up a 4g connection, in one of the stations that gets signal. I checked and most def the tab was dark and the box in the menu was un checked but I still had 4g data. Weird.

Hmm that really is weird lol. I will look into it and see what I can do but that def shouldn't happen. Let me know if it happens again
