[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
I works, though wonky.

BLN was wonky in CM9, that's just how it was. In fact, when talking amongst the devs about doing a CM9 build, the dude that was responsible for the BLN stuff said "don't forget CM9 has the wonky BLN" ... yeah. It's the same experience as from CM10.

The CM10 implementation is supposed to be cleaner, but the rewrite was so extensive that it is killing me to try to work support for us back into it. In fact, the CM10 very of our build uses the CM9 driver, until I can finish my port.

So, yeah, the BLN will be the same as in the CM10 release.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
No worries! Ill disable it anyways and go through my Test checklist on this bad boy. Post here? Or you wanna make a Q&A?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I have the rom downloaded and can test tonight if need help. Just let me know
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
It should be fairly vanilla CM9, except based on my sources rather than TFQ's. I'm hoping I can get some feedback on stability and features (other than BLN) because I'm curious about the comparison to CM10. Also, because an official build of CM9 might go a long way towards making people happier about their CM experience while CM10 goes through it's growing pains :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Thanks for the explanation about the sources. I can live without bln and test everything out.

I couldn't agree more, a stable official cm9 would calm everybody down about cm experience. I have been using cm roms for the past 4 years.

Keep up the good work
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Post here... I kinda regret making the Q&A for the other thread. I'm fairly certain I'm a little ADD and have a limitted attention span ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I flashed the rom and everything seems to be working fine. Only thing I noticed is volume is low during music playback . Volume controls work as expected. I'll continue to run this and see if anything comes up.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Where is the volume low? Headphone or speaker phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Volume seems low with speaker. Using Apollo player. Tune in and Pandora are louder

I'm also using the bln app and lights are working fine. No fc errors or crashes.

The rom seems pretty stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Stable enough to be official? :) Also, have you tested the torch (flashlight)? Are you still running it?

As for the volume, you say Tune in / Pandora are better... are they better as in correct, or just better as in not as low as apollo?

Is anyone else using the CM9 release?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I'm still running it, everything seems to be working . My opinion very stable

Tune in and Pandora are not as low as Apollo. I really only stream music on phone as opposed to using a music player. So the Apollo thing might be normal. I also tested the torch/flashlight and it worked fine

Did anyone else report back on the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I would say it stable enough for official release.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Thanks! Yeah, no one else reported back on it. I think I may have found the volume issue. Looks like I may have missed some things in the kernel. Gonna finish building some new patches tonight, so we'll see. With any luck, by the end of the day we'll have a stable CM9 where the sound is what it should be, and I577 will have a CM9 that doesn't spin like a top :)

And... this might help towards some sound stuff that was just reported for the CM10 build as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
That's good news and sorry no one else checked in with you.

If you need help later, let me know. Glad the volume is correctable with kernel fixes. Good job with work done so far :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Hah! Don't get too excited... I may have been wrong :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theprogram1:
Sorry to be late guys.... This rom is probably the most stable rom out there for ics.... the only drawback is the music playback from the speakers... the headphones seem to work perfect even with apollo. Also with amazon mp3 player.. Very smooth, fluid. Feels very fast. But I noticed one glitch in any app if I close the status bar real fast I see like half of the screen flash black. To reproduce this glitch you can just open messaging: pull down the bar, let it go, then real fast drag it to the top......
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Glad to hear you guys are having a good experience with this build. With any luck, it'll be "official" early next week.

I loaded a new kernel into my CM9 builds area (see second post). Please load that one up as it's what will ultimately be pushed. If I could get a day or two's worth of feedback, I'd appreciate it. It's OK to dirty flash. You can wipe dalvik if you like.

I loaded some music on my test phone and, honestly... I'm not sure how loud it's supposed to get. The volume didn't change with the final kernel patching I did. Though, the other kernel's volume seems fine to my ears :) You're talking about the speakerphone, right?

My test music sounded fine to me... maybe I'll load up CM10 and see if there's a difference.

EDIT: loaded CM10 and volume levels seem the same to me. . o (you can get with this... or you can get with that...)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Could someone post screenshots? Is this ics? I can't remember what cm9 is.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Cm9 is ics

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

No problem, I will flash the kernel and see how things go :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
So far so good . Everything is working well. I will run all day tomorrow and see how the rom holds up

Everything is going good so far. Rom really flies with nova launcher. No issues to report
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawndotting:
I am liking this Rom...I would have love to be able to take pictures during a call though as also a smarter keyboard like cm10 ....it is real smooth and fast....good work guys...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] junkypong:
Got chance to install this rom..been using for few hours, no issue yet and am enjoying a lot. Thanks dr4stic for the beauty!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
Going to give this a try. Just to confirm, coming from the Official CM10 10-22 nightly I will have to do a full wipe correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I would suggest a full wipe before flashing. Also do a nand before flashing. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Ummm, going backwards, forget the suggestion, it's MANDATORY :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] junkypong:
so....ran for a day. quite stable.. hope to see it official soon!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
I can't find a bug.went threw my normal checklist and it all passed.. bln is working. And it seems a tad faster than cm10.

Sorry about the late reply..moving isn't fun.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] junkypong:
My bln is not working...it worked once but since then never worked for a missed call or sms. Did u install any other software to make it work?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
My bln is working. I didn't install any additional software. You may want to turn them off and back on. Then restart the phone. If that doesn't work try bln app. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
Been running this since yesterday and I've encountered a couple of weird occurences. 1) When I connect to the computer and mount the USB I get a message for both the internal and external cards that they have an error, I then get an option to "scan and fix" or continue without doing so. I don't recall having that happen with CM10 or the Blaz3r roms. 2) After a reboot, once the phone loads up I get an error message that "process systems" has stopped working.

I did a full wipe, plus a format of the system, and wipe of dalvik/cache prior to flashing....should I wipe again?

Other than that so far everything is great. BLN working without any hiccups, call audio is crisp and clear and the rom is really fast. The transitions/scrolling did seem a bit choppy to me at first, but I changed them to "relax" and it's much smoother. I miss some of the extras of JB, but this rom is way more stable, so it will definitely be my daily driver.

BTW is it just me, or is the battery life wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better on CM9?

Thanks again for yet another awesome rom :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
Been running since last night and so far no real problems. Except for one thing I guess..not that big of a deal really, Wi-Fi tethering didn't work for me but Idk if it's just my computer or the Rom. We'll see what happens :rolleyes:

Great Rom overall very stable :thumbup:

EDIT: yup it was just an issue with my computer no problems anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] slmike:
Just wanted to throw in my two cents. Been using this ROM for two days with only one thing that needed a minor tweak. The Talkatone app can't connect to 'Voice Call' in the 'Audio Playback Stream' part of the settings (this is what Talkatone defaults to). I changed it to 'Music' and it works perfectly. Extremely stable, fast and makes me really enjoy my phone. Thanks for your hard work and time building this great ROM! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Been running this for a while. It seems a lot more stable then cm10.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] badboy68:
wheres google play store ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
You have to flash the Google apps
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] junkypong:
tried all the stuff..also installed bln apps, but my bln is stil not working..not a big deal though!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] junkypong:
i know i am offending...but could not stop asking if we are going official? and to add to my excitement , this rom is awesome and i am loving every bit of it!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Everyone involved in making things official have been beat dead by real jobs this week... the channel has been fairly quiet, I hate having a real job :)

However I've been cleaning things up (like some partition weirdness I overlooked). So I'm cleaning up both my CM9 and CM10 before I can continue with bug testing.

CM9: Cleanup mostly, and partition size fixes. Some string fix-ups, etc... I don't expect tonight's build to have any issues. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to commit the stuff and get it all official by the weekend.

CM10: Similar cleanup to CM9, except that I've also got some fixes for charging when the phone is powered off. Didn't realize that was an issue. Also, a little cleanup to some of the init routines. Hopefully that'll all get committed for the nightlies as well.

Once all those are done, I really really really want to finish fixing the WiFi bug as that's the last real niggling problem I have... and then BLN (which will forever be wonky on CM9 because the main devs have all moved on to CM10 and left the wonky legacy version on CM9).

No reason not to stay on this CM9 if you like it. I'm really hoping that once my changes are in the system, I can get them to run a 9.1.0 build for us :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
BLN is exactly the same driver in CM9 as we're forcing on CM10. Problem is, on CM10 it's a kludge and the driver is supposed to be more stable there. That means that, sadly, BLN is always going to be wonky on CM9 :(

If you unlock the phone, the stupid lights won't come on. However, if you wait the amount of time that the screen is on but the button lights will have timed out, then move the screen again, they work properly from there forward. I've been meaning to ask why the BLN drivers didn't get back ported to the older kernel. Maybe I can get them to fix that...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Pretty good battery life. This is with poor reception at school too.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Guys,

I've been doing some cleanup on the device trees. I ran a CM10 build that I'd love for people to test and let me know if it's at least as stable as the official nightlies.

I'm running official builds for CM9 as well, but they take a few hours to bake.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Sure testing another room for team fahq, as soon as I can download it I'll test... taking it's still uploading now

Downloading now... I'm gonna dirty flash first see how that goes. Hehe
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I'm downloading now and will flash in a few.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
You are welcome. Thank you for your hard work. Setting up everything and will let you know how the ROM functions:)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
I'm trying right now too will let u know ASAP how it is
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
God Damn it's smooth. Nothing wrong yet. Looking good dirty flash went well. Very nice work brother.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
damnit... drop box just told me that they hate me and are limitting my public traffic for three days due to excessive traffic.

It's late now, I'll have to upload this to dev-host in the morning.

urgh.

Sorry guys, have a good night.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Everything seems to be working well with the unofficial build from last night. Great job

Thanks for taking care of the charging issue. this was and is a royal pain in the official nightlies
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
OK... dev-host links are up. Continue to downloading!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
The unofficial build work great for me too keep up the good work dr4stic u r the only reason I am keeping this phone till tax season lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
Haven't run across any problems from the unofficial build, everything is working quite well.

You're awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Just flashed. Looks good so far. Btw, I've noticed this on the official cm10 as well, the Facebook app is zoomed in. Is there any way to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I noticed this as well and was wondering how to change it. Other than that everything is working well.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
I'm pretty sure that's the way it looks now
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Maybe and maybe not. My wife is running cm10 on her s2 and Facebook is not enlarged
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
Mines looks like that since the 10.18 update no matter what rom I'm on
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] slmike:
Been running the 20121025 CM9 build for a couple days and have zero problems, save the wonky button light as you already know about. Loving it. Big thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Was a new cm9 build uploaded?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] junkypong:
20121025 CM9 build running fine as expected!!

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

yes..see the OP!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawndotting:
R u sure about this as I am kinda fed up now with cm 10...was on 9 until it messed up. Should I return to cm 9....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
Is the 20121025 cm9 any different from the 20121018 cm9? Or the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
I'm on CM 9 10.18.12 version. I noticed that my contacts/ favs pics are very blurry. When I get a call the pic of the person calling is almost unrecognizable. This isn't the case with CM10, is there a reason for this, is there something I can do to correct it? Its not a huge deal, just wondering.

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
I *think* that's cuz google changed the resolution of stored images, something or other. I remember reading something about this a few months ago, something new (and welcome) in JB.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] martopoulos:
If it's a pic that you uploaded for that contact, re-upload it. Had the same issue here. The reuploaded pic is now stored at a higher resolution (?) like dr4stic mentioned. After reuploading, it looks normal again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Dr4stic has the lpm issue for charging been pushed to the nightlies? I'm using the unofficial 102412 nightly and was curious. Great job with everything
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lnxzilla:
cm9

Loaded latest cm9, running smooth since last night! Only issue so far is no audio in/out for outgoing voip calls using the built-in sip client. Incoming voip calls work great, must be cm9 issue and not too hard to fix. This thread suggests maybe routing to wrong audio device: code.google.com/p/hercskycm/issues/detail?id=81

I might be totally wrong on that since I'm new to android but should be able to pick up and assist with logcat and stuffs :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Good news on 2 fronts!

First, CM9 has been pushed into the CM repos. With any luck, either tomorrow night or the night after, we should see a CM9 nightly. Keep in mind that these won't be every night. However it'll come occassionally when there's a major change to CM9, and we'll also get the next CM9 point release (cm 9.1.1?)

Second, my CM10 changes have gone in, so LPM should show up with the next nightly (10/30).

Yay :)

Now I can finally focus on finishing with the last two t769 specific bugs! Wifi Mac (top priority) and BLN.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] trevor7428:
So i'm already on cm9 right now. but i can't remember where i got the gapps from. Did i just use the gapps from erikmm cm9?? I just want to no because if i flash a diff rom and want to come back. want to no where i download gapps
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Great news on the big storm day of the year. Great job :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
I'm from Miami, we eat storms and hurricanes for lunch ;)

*serious face on* Seriously though, my heart goes out to everyone weathering the storm right now... which includes many of my work colleagues.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
You know first hand then being from Miami. It was crazy around 5pm when Atlantic City got hit. I'm 30 minutes from there. :D crazy day but survived it
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Heh, yeah, I can imagine. I work remotely from miami, but my company's office is in CT, and I have plenty of family in NJ (at rutgers and atlantic city), as well as NY. Been watching this all day.

I'm glad to see you're still posting. Means you're alive :)

Also means that your phone is staying up and stable, even in the face of a hurricane ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
It was wild, ct, NY and north Jersey got hit. So did AC and wildwood. I'm alive and the phone worked flawlessly :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] junkypong:
So CM9 officially released. Thanks dr4stic for the hard work...The entire community is grateful to u!! ! just one quick Q: is this release same as the unofficial 20121025?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Probably. Hardly anything is changing on CM9. All of the development is happening on CM10. So.... CM9 from 10/25 is likely just like an official CM9 for 10/30. I mean, maybe there are updates, but it likely isn't anything crazy :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
The battery life on Unofficial CM9 is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!

A million thanks to you for awesome work :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Hey guys, I posted a kernel flash for the 10/30 nightly that fixes the Random WiFi MAC bug.

The fix will go into nightlies after 11/2. The CM9 nightlies generate once a week, so at some point a newer official nightly will come out with the fix, at which point I'm taking down all of my builds :)

Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
for cm10 as well or just cm9?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Just CM9. The weekly's are less often for it so i figured a kernel would be appreciated.

CM10 11/3 will be built (hopefully) in the next 12 hours and will include the fix, so I'm gonna run a final build for I577 brothers instead given that my builds are in the 3-4 hour area.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Does tango work with any cm?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
SoD Fix attempt

Guys,

Based on the recommendations of some of the other devs, I've run a kernel build that should hopefully (cross your fingers) solve MOST (but not all) of the SoD problems. If this works, it likely won't remove them alltogether, but they'll be DECIDEDLY infrequent.

If you apply this, keep in mind I need a LONG TERM TEST. That means no upgrading or rebooting your phone unless you absolutely need to.

Check the 2nd post for download details. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] trevor7428:
OK sweet, will post back in two days. No updates or rebooted. Hope this works, thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] trevor7428:
So far so good. No SOD yet. I saw the stable version just came out. It looks so tempting. Do you suggust I wait another daybefore flash. Or is it OK if I flash stable then flash sod fix then report back in another 2 days. Or is SOd fix built into Stable?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
The "stable" that just came out is a tag. There isn't much different between it and what you're running. Except that the "stable" doesn't have this kernel, so it might SoD on you...

Did you experience SoD's before and now they don't happen? Or have you never really had SoD's?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] marchingknight11:
Is it possible for the no-SoD kernel to work with the Lightning Zap kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] browniespeaks:
dr4stic,

thanks again for all your work. been running this one since you put it up. On first flash (clean btw) I had imediate BSOD on first boot. The way it manafest is different though the Notification lights stay on while the screen stays dark, no samsung logo. Takes a battery pull to reboot. Cleared dalvik and caches and everything stable. No reboots after that tell about 11PM PST last night. I was multitasking with camera, music, and bluetooth same sort of BSOD with the lights on. pulled that battery but did not wipe dalvik this time. Do you want log cats for this kernel? sorry im a little behind in my reading.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
Dr4stic I think for me uve conquered the SoD I haven't had one since I flashed ur test kernel I think u should commit the changes Cuz usually I have at least 1 or 2 a day I dont know what the above persons problem is but ive also stopped using apps not compatible with JB and i dont use the bln tweak either it just seems redundant since the only notifications i care about r sms and i have the quick reply set up to turn on my screen... But good job dr4stic

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

I flashed the kernel as soon as u posted it too just to let u know so it's been almost 2 days now
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] martopoulos:
43 hours without a SoD here, I normally get them once a day, sometimes every 2nd day, so it's a little early to tell here. I'm using the Nov. 1st nightly with your SoD fix.

Edit: 48 hours without a SoD here. A new personal record!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] trevor7428:
I had SOD about once a day, maybe once every two days if I was lucky. I never did update to stable. And ever since flashed no sod zip, have not had sod yet. About 5 hours away from 48 hour mark of flash
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Guys, thank you thank you for the soak test. I've heard enough to decide to go ahead and commit my changes. Except that I'm on vacation till Sat night :)

When I get back I'll do it. Until then, if any of you want to flash the final cm10, you can flash this test over top of it. Just wipe dalvik.

Thank you all!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
Ive got 48 hrs plus with no SoD either so thank u so much...

not to sound ungrateful but is there any chance that u and thomas.raines could put ur brains together and put together ur changes into a lightning zap 2 kernel cuz ur kernel has things his doesnt and vice versa and Dr4stic they r still compiling nightlies too so I'm going to flash over tomorrows nightly
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] marchingknight11:
I've been running 2 days with no SoD. I did reboot once manually, but usually I would have had about 2-3 by now.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] martopoulos:
Over 72 hours w/o a SoD. Your next lunch is on me. ;)
