I believe I should be able to start reuploading things tonight, however if anyone else has a link feel free to share. I'll post once everything is uploaded and links updated. Sorry for the inconvenience folks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ah1n1:
Thank you so much, i'll be waiting those links...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Regrettably waiting a bit longer... I thought I would have access to some space by the end of this weekend but here it is Monday and I have not heard back. I imagine it won't be too much longer (and in a pinch I have a temporary backup plan I can use), but I wanted to touch base and let you know what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ah1n1:
Thank you for the reply, i have a private hosting with unlimited bandwith, so if u need, we can upload it there.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ah1n1:
Sorry for being annoying but u have any good news about the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Lol - no you aren't being annoying, I'm being forgetful (and likely annoying then - sort of ironic really). I'll get a temporary link up (server issues have yet to be resolved) tonight - PM me if you don't see anything by like 10pm EST... if it's not in front of my face I tend to forget lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Here

is a link to the rom (includes stock kernel I believe) - let me know if you needed any other links :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ah1n1:
Thank you so much, im downloading it right now.

This is the most stable, and fast rom that i been tried for my blaze...

:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeck:
Bluetooth Tethering?

Thanks for this ROM, I'm giving it a try mostly to regain WI-Fi calling and some other lesser things such as a compass in Google Maps. I was previously using Cyanogenmod 10.1. I found myself using bluetooth tethering with my work iPad. To make this work I installed Bluetooth Auto Tethering from the Play Store. All this app does is enable BT tethering when the device (Blaze) starts.

When I try to connect to the iPad I now receive a "Connection Unsuccessful 'SGH-T769' is not supported" message on the iPad even though the Blaze shows "Paired". For comparison, I get the same results when using tthaz777's Android ICS 4.0.4 UVLH5 ROM.

I don't know if your ROM had something taken out that disables this or if CM had something put in. I realize that it's been a long time since this was an everyday project for you. I suspect an issue like this is likely buried deep in the system and not worth pursuing but in case I'm wrong and it's an easy fix or there's something I can do to enable it please let me know.

Thanks. Mike.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Sorry it took so long folks - but I figured most are lost in AOSP flash-happiness anyway lol so I took my time.

Update finally posted!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] bostonbru:
Been waiting for this! Thanks a bunch, your ROM is defiantly the best in my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chinabear13:
Running this since this morning, and its like butter. Great ROM, thank you sir!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bradlees:
sms/mms

I know this is a little picky, but I am wondering if the sms/mms has the group setting in this ROM like the aokp have on the jb roms that are available?

Not being able to text in a group thread is pretty annoying...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] rcbjr007:

Dwitherell you are the man. This is even better then 2.0. Who needs stock when Dwitherell is around.

Excellent ROM, very smooth and stable. Thanks

Is it possible to reassign the shortcuts in the bottom panel.?

Also, any way to have the folder panel disappear once a shortcut is selected?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Yessir - go into the app drawer, hit the menu button, and select edit. It may prompt you about switching to a different organizational strategy - go with it. Then you can drag things to/from the app drawer/dock. Once you are done, hit the menu button and select Save. Once you are back to the regular app drawer you can hit menu again and select the original organizational strategy if desired (most go with the alphabetized approach).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Supamike88:
Can't seem to select live wallpapers
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] death2verizon:
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, its included in the system apps zip file from the OP =)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Yeah I deemed that bloat and removed them, as I tend to agree with what johnb380 says:

Very true - however there is now in place a far cooler (in my opinion anyway) method to getting such things back - the tweaktools utility I've referred to a few times. All you need to do is -

- Open Terminal Emulator

- Type su then enter and grant it root privileges and what not

- Type tweaktools then enter - the utility script should start up.

- While I recommend exploring a bit, in the context of getting back live wallpaper options here is the shortened version of where to go:

--- From the main screen type 2 then enter for Applications

--- Type 1 then enter for installing pre-selected software

--- Type 3 then enter for Wallpapers and Widgets

--- For the LiveWallpaperPicker hit 3 then enter, then hit 2 then enter to install

--- To go back one screen hit 0 then enter

--- For the apk with the actual live wallpapers in them (LiveWallpapers.apk), hit 2 then enter, then hit 2 then enter to install

The hope was to offer a slightly unique way of modifying your phone - I know there are far better/craftier/etc utilities out there for such things, but deep down I'm a techy n00b so shell scripts are the way to go for me currently lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Supamike88:
Also when I click dialer Favorites is ask all the way on the left and when I click contacts it appears 2nd from the left. Not sure if this is a bug
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theshowman:
Thanks, that worked perfectly.

Anyway to have the "carrier's" network show up in the notification slider?

Where I am, I constantly switch between roaming and not, and it is really useful to know as always used it to tell the carrier.

Btw, the ROM is working great. It's the best in all the ones I've tried so far. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Nice call - I'll make it so for the next update. Maybe a few minor twists on the aosp ICS lockscreen too :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Smooth a hell...flawless..

If you could get that s3 ripple lock screen..that'd be sick
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
While the bug debate is still there - this is stock behavior. Should it change?

Got it figured out - instant change back and forth even, and you can still colorize it lol

That's a near future target that's for sure. Just so people see what I've managed to hobble together - they are both based on the aosp ics lockscreen but I got the custom app stuff functioning :)

3 Spot -

5 Spot

Not much, but it's a start :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theshowman:
Anyway to get the notification (weather calendar plus other lock screen features) when on a pin or pattern locked screen?

Because of Corp security (and personal preference) I need to use protection on lock screen but so far I haven't been able to figure out how to retain some of the bells and whistles of advanced lock screen.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theshowman:
Hi

Just noticed a glitch in wifi hot spot.

I get an error that I never got before on any blaze ROM until now.:

Mobile data not available or invalid SIM.

It then deactivates the tethering immediately.

Any thoughts.?

Could it be some build prop thingy causing it?

Stock or Blazr roms (and cm based ones obviously) don't suffer from this issue.

Btw, I'm using it on Wind Mobile in Canada.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Do you mean like missed call/txt/etc notifications? Or the weather widget stuff seen on the stock circle lockscreen?

Are others having this difficulty? It should be fine as I didn't tinker with it at all - tested it on tmobile connection and all seemed well. Curious that it would work on the other stock-ish roms and not this one. Could you send me a logcat of the connection attempt?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theshowman:
RE: Screen Lock:

Yes, If it isn't too much to ask for, I'd like to have widgets like weather, or even shortcuts to things like camera, mail, etc , and if that's not enough, the counters on various notifications such as sms, email etc, all when using the pin/pattern screen lock:)

Just about any ROM I've tried, including all versions of CM and KANG (on my other devices) don't have these features. As soon as you have a pin/pattern, all you get is time/date.

RE: mobile hotspot

Just for my own sanity, I just reflashed back to Blzr3 and wifi tethering worked just fine. That ROM is the official 4.04 ICS ROM and is using the stock kernel.

Then, I reflashed back to Tweaked 2.1 and again, I get the aforementioned error. I wonder if it is because of the new kernel?

I'm not on T-mobile. Maybe others who are not on TM can try this and see if the wifi hotspot works for them.

I'll try to get you a logcat and send it to you.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Screen Lock - Well the shortcut-to-app stuff sort of circumvents the pattern/pin unlock idea of security which will make things tricky on that front. I wonder if I could get the pulldown to function... likely not for the same reasons, but a thought. I could maybe look into the notification-count-only idea, but ics-based lockscreens are a bit of a new thing for me, so no promises.

The other issue with the pattern/pin lock is space - much of the available real estate is taken up by the grid/keypad, which would make shortcuts/notifications, as well as weather widget stuff, a bit tricky. That being said, I'll try messing around with them and see if I can come up with anything, but my skillset is limited.

Wifi hotspot - A logcat would be great, though there is a way to test the is-it-the-kernel idea. In tweaktools there is a basically-stock-except-custom-boot-animation-supporting kernel you can flash (and you can flash back to the scorched kernel that was preloaded with the rom originally from there as well) - maybe try that one out and see if the issue persists?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] blazetim:
Google now won't update. This was fixed months ago on cm 10. Can we get that fixed on this ROM? How can I apply my theme from the market place that I downloaded? This ROM is very smooth and much nicer then the cm10 I was running
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
CM10 is a jellybean-based ROM, and as Google now is a JB feature it is able to stay updated and what not. Tweaked is based on the stock touchwiz ICS ROM, and the only reason any aspect of Google now is working is due to the work of folks far more clever than I that backported it to work on ICS. Those clever folks have moved on, so the mod (unless someone else takes over) is essentially stuck at the current out-of-date version unfortunately - sorry about that.

With the theme from the marketplace - is that a CM theme? I would imagine it is, and if so since this is not a CM ROM the theme won't work. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - and thanks for the kind words :)

Nice find! I did some digging on this and it seems this is an apk-based installer (as opposed to a zip you install via a custom recovery) of the stuff from the same thread I pulled Google Now files from - meaning it's the same stuff unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
Damn that sux but mine (meaning the one from this rom) stopped working so I just deleted the velvet apk in system apps and installed this and it works way better but I think urs was set to do the voice verification over Internet and u can have this one set to do it thru ur phone it just works smoother Imo... Hey I tried lol

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Its appreciated :) But now I have to ask - what do you mean that it stopped working? Did it FC or something? And in the context of the original Google Now for ICS thread - what do you mean by verifying over the internet or over the phone? Would the over the phone one be the offline (and therefore larger) zip? If so - the one that was included in the rom was the offline version. I haven't had any issues as of yet, but I haven't used it much to be honest. Also - as you've used this apk-based approach - do you still get the update nag? Just curious. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
No update nag... And what I was referring to was that the version I'm using handles the voice recognition internally instead of over the internet at least that's what it says in the install process... Idk if that makes a difference or not but

And it stopped allowing me to search gnow would come up on search button long press but wouldn't listen it just went straight to try again over and over I tried fcing it and clearing cache and data but no change so I removed the velvet apk from system and installed the handlebar one I referred to earlier and now it works much better twice as fast too Idk really what's different but it works so that's what matters to me lol

I have been getting horrible battery life compared to the cm ROMs.will the blue lightning ics kernel work on this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
I tried doing what you did - deleting /system/app/Velvet.apk and running that google handlebars apk - but it didn't seem to work for me (i.e. I had no search function available, and definitely no GoogleNow). Was there anything else you did leading up to that or right after?

It's supposed to be an attempt at keeping often used apps in memory to give the appearance of decreased lag. Not really sure it's necessary, but if folks like to tinker you can edit that script to your liking - it seems like one people like messing around with anyway.

Truth be told (and in my experience) aosp-based roms (like CM) are better with things like battery life. Out of curiosity what constitutes "horrible"? Sometimes it's just an angry app causing issues. I'm pretty sure the blue lightning kernel is only for aosp-based roms, not modified stock roms like this one. Also - in tweaktools there are 2 other options - an updated scorched kernel (v 1.0.22 also available

here

) and a slightly modified stock kernel. You could always give those a try and see if things fare better. Sorry for the unpleasant experience!

Also - I'm just as guilty of this as anyone but most of this stuff should be in the Q&A thread really
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
That apk is just the installer u have to open it and run the install process once u download it pick v7 that's the one I used

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Yep - and that's the one I installed. Wonder why it didn't work for me - I likely botched something lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] blazetim:
I too just tried this using v7 and now have no Google now?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
While on the stock kernel did battery life seem to improve? Also - in regards to battery life try the updated kernel (on tweaktools or

here

- hopefully that improves things.

I am baffled on the wifi hotspot error - mostly because it worked just fine on full stock. A quick google search seems to show that this sort of thing has happened on other phones as well, but I found little to help elucidate the root cause. I'll keep digging on this - I'm really sorry for the sudden surge of issues folks.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theshowman:
I've moved to this new kernel as of this morning - haven't had a chance to characterize it, but in the release notes, it mentioned that you need to give the battery a few charge cycles to settle down. I'll report on it in a few days.

I think I've fixed the problem.

Using a tip from a different thread (sort of unrelated but got me thinking), I froze "TetheringProvision 1.0.09.TM" (a system apk) using TB and that solved the problem.

I'm pretty sure the stock or Blzr ROMS don't have this apk mainly because it doesn't show up as an item in my backed apk's in TB that I've made recently when going across ROMS - but I haven't reflashed those ROMS to say 100%. I'll check on it later on ...

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Awesome! Yeah I was talking with Mervin actually and he mentioned the same thing. Awesome that it worked, and it will NOT be there in 2.2 - thanks for letting me know!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
Wow I can't believe those kernels are 13.1mb that's huge compared to any kernel I've ever seen lol I'm trying the new one now too hope it helps

ALSO EVERYONE don't forget to download set cpu, no frills, etc. and change ur max cpu speed back to stock or somewhere less than 1.7ghz that will help with battery a lot... I don't believe our CPU really needs OCd personally!

Also try different governors too if u really want long battery life u will have to sacrifice a Lil performance somewhere people its very hard to get both... one or the other is more probable.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] :
Wifi calling

Hi guys..

I just got this phone a few days ago.. I was able to root it and would like to try out this rom.. can anyone tell me if Wifi Calling works? thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Yes it does
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] :
Thank you.. I flashed it.. I did a full wipe first, but the phone does not boot..it stays on the purple bat screen for ever...it's been a very long time.. I know that a fresh flash takes longer than normal, but it's been more than 5 minutes.

PS..

Is there a way to manually get into recovery on the Blaze... I've tried removing the battery but when I press the power button It gets stuck on the boot screen where the "purple bat" is... how can I get into recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
?? What file did you flash? I believe the purple bat stems from a kernel built for a GB rom, and as this is an ICS one that won't work. I'm rather confused as to how you would have that as this should include a kernel, and while I don't have regular access to the phone anymore Im pretty sure it wasn't a bat.

EDIT From power off press and hold vol up, vol down, and power to get into recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] :
OK.,,so I got the previous issue resolved.. I see that wifi calling works, but the camera does not open..every time I click it opens and closes by itself...anything I can do to fix that?... I re flashed the rom again so it's a newly flashed one.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Hmm... Well that's a new one. So it partly opens? What was the file name you flashed? Does the camera FC or just close? Is there anything else you are doing when you are trying to open it?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] :
I ended up reflashing and now the camera stopped working...it forecloses..also the battery drains very fast..it goes down to 30 in about 4 hrs without using the phone or very little use
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Did you wipe davlik/system/data from flashing the wrong kernel/rom/etc. before flashing this rom? I don't have any issues with the camera. Also these comments belong in the Q&A section - the battery life issue has been more than covered there. Stock kernel isn't that fast but 19 hours light usage and still at 85%. FWIW I just went back to this again from Thomas' PA, and I forgot how good it was :) ...looks like I'm staying on Tweaked for awhile again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] :
Hi....yes i wiped galvik and cache...where can i download the stock kernel or are you saying the one that comes with this rom is the stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:

This is just me making sure of some things. Also - if the camera is always FCing on you a logcat would be extremely helpful on nailing down what is going on. Feel free to PM me such things if you manage to get your hands on one :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Morganmachine91:
Yeah, just hold down volume up + volume down and power for like ten seconds until it vibrates a total of three times.
