Alright..

OK..I will quote myself..

"Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading

cause of male impotence (so decide if its worth it)."

as stated in the disclaimer..Nightlys are for development purposes only..There truly is no need to flash EVERY nightly unless you are willing to take the risk of having to roll back..As far as your playstore goes, i truly have no clue (being as that is a GAPP) why there would be that issue..Especially as the others seem fine..Did you try to clear data from the play store and the google services framework before rolling back? I am NOT trying to sound rude or brash truly, Just stating..(and TiBu can be a problem in itself restoring and backing up apps,specifically because the versions of android are moving faster than app devs can keep up..)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] phenomejohn:
Ha, fair enough. Saves me money on a vasectomy.

Anyway, I first flashed the nightly directly from the CM updater. It kept my Gapps (first build that's done that so far) and they all worked fine except for playstore. So I reflashed Gapps and it didn't make a difference.

Then I downloaded the nightly onto my SD, wiped Dalvik and cache, then re-flashed the nightly. No change. Rebooted back to recovery, reflashed Gapps again, no change. Weird thing about the Titanium issue was that it worked fine on the previously nightly, which I believe was also 4.4.2. I wanted to find out if it was an issue with Titanium itself or if there was some other factor preventing me from re-installing the missing apps. Still not sure.

Sorry about taking up space in the thread for this. I'm obviously not a developer, so I don't really know what's relevant as far as errors you'd want to know about.

Anyway, rock on. This CM11 is miles ahead of what I was using before. I greatly appreciate the 4.4 update.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Nah man..your good..no apologies....just stating its a gapps issue with the play store and suggesting a fix by clearing data before rolling back..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Ok..

Alright guys, tonight your on your own...Gotta girl who needs me more ;) I'll check back in the morn..

I see that there's a problem with radio echo but has anybody tried all of them. If yes, which one would you reccomend the best?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dledwith2:
I'm using the newest one recommended by the manufacturer. I assume they updated them for a reason. You're on a thread that is using the latest and greatest ROM available. I assume you aren't looking to run Donut or Eclair on your device :) From what I've heard from others is that they only downgraded because the upgrade didn't work for THEM, for whatever reason. Once you find what works best for you, please report your findings back to us.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] osbaldov:
I'm using the latest radio. I was wondering if there was a previous version that worked better, but I'll just stick to this one. No problems yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Radios are user preference...If ya got one that works for you, use it.. ;)

Ink, I've been on that touch recovery for a few weeks but I got it from

I assume it's the same one. Works great.

I'm using CWM 6.0.3.8 and I've been using it since October. I think I flashed the .img from Clockworkmod's website using the terminal but the recoveries in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475802 work as well. I've been using it to flash and test 4.4 so far without any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Understandable, But it was an img file you got from them..Thats where i got it as well....but I built the zips to make it easier for everyone..Just wanted to make sure they flash..

I fixed the nightly builds - because they were broken across all the msm8660 devices.

I'll be around..hit me on hangouts..?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
I will confirm now that videocamera is fixed on the i577..still working on scanners, but video records and saves..(not in 1080p, so dont ask)...having testers checking speakerphone as well...but a HUGE STEP in the right direction..Blaze fixes coming soon..big thanks to [MENTION=4685003]car vs driver[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] car vs driver:
Credit goes to [MENTION=4359258]topprospect[/MENTION] for the wrapper and a bunch of others for contributing other updates to the wrapper.

I didn't do much, just a config change in the new kernel :)

I'll get 1080p removed tonight and hopefully sort out the 3rd party camera issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Well thanks to [MENTION=4359258]topprospect[/MENTION] then as well ;) Either way..Its good news nonetheless.. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
im able to test out the T769 if need be :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
As soon as CVD gets the commits in, I'll pull em and run a build..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
sounds good!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] car vs driver:
Camera patch has been merged by [MENTION=4359258]topprospect[/MENTION] this morning. Note that there will still be a 5 second delay on recording. That will be corrected when we push the new kernel and switch to media-caf - maybe another couple days for that change.

Also, there's an incoming patch either Uber or I will push later today to remove the 1080p option from the camera. In the meantime, don't choose that or it'll lock up the camera application.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
Excellent stuff guys. Will the video fix have any impact on camera previews? I'll admit that I haven't read the last couple pages of the thread so don't kill me if it's there. I've got one of those weird phones where the video camera DOES work in the default app (but not others). I'll be happy to post findings when the new build hits. I've also got another t769 where video NEVER worked. That's currently running carbonrom. I understand it's not the same, but hopefully it gets rolled in and fixed there as well. Let me know if there's anything specific I should post.

Edit: For what its worth, the video camera takes a few seconds to start as it is now.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
the latest nightly fort769 has these fixes?? i will test if it does :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
It will when uber merges the changes for the t769...not sure if its been done yet for you guys...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
OK - I know there's been nothing official regarding what fixes have made it into the ROM, but I did load up the 05092014 nightly and here's what I can say:

Video function of A Better Camera (ABC) no longer crashes and will start "recording" immediately, no preview but the file can be found by exiting the app and manually going into the gallery app.

Video shot in the default Android camera app DOES work (always did for me) and starts IMMEDIATELY. This is new - it used to take several seconds to start. *Note - video preview DOES work in the default camera app.

Camera preview does not work in ABC or various other apps. HOWEVER, if I take a picture in ABC it DOES save the photo to the gallery as expected.

Various apps that require camera/video and didn't previously work, now show their UI screens and prompts (a first for this phone) and will behave as expected EXCEPT for the lack of camera preview. Example: "Smart Distance" app. *Note - a preview is seen briefly when exiting the app.

Additionally - compass apps do work on my phone but either N/S or E/W are reversed.

I hope that this information helps. I wanted to make sure that the devs know that the hard work is appreciated and certainly going in the right direction on this device. If there's anything I can dig up on my phone to help you guys out, let me know.

EDIT: updated info regarding ABC app. Video DOES work.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] fsworld009:
Thanks for testing, how about speakerphone issue? is that solved?

I'm very excited about these improvements in CM11, I'm still using CM10.0 and having no call sound bug....maybe I'll do a CM11 update this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Until you move up, you may wanna try another radio..and no..speakerphone issue still exists..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] brut7:
Awesome

Greets Everyone and good morning. Woke up at 5 and have been playing for 3 hours. Loaded up the 5/11 nightly and standard gapps. I'm awed by how far this has come and the improvements. Camera works fine to take pictures, movie preview is out of focus and when actually shooting a movie the screen resolution changes and is wrong but the actual recorded movie is just fine, aspect ratio is correct. In short the camera is usable. Scanning apps like QR droid don't seem to work. The biggest difficulty I have had with any cyanogen mod build has always been with third party VOIP apps. I use spare phone with google voice but now with XMPP being disabled on the 15th I've been experimenting and using talkatone. So anyway, with these apps and any cyanogen build and I mean any, I've always had a terrible echo on voip calls. The echo was always what caused me to revert to my ICS nandroid backup. On this build however I have NO echo! Yay! Lol. So now it looks like I'm going to get to stay on 4.4, wow, I can't believe it and I know it's just going to get better and better. Thank you all so much!

*edit* The play store upgraded the google camera! I was like oh-no but it still works with the same quirks. I haven't been able to figure out how to save pictures to the external card.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] kishore4:
hahaha blame google's new security policy for that...for pics on ext sd you can do it either manually or you can just swap your ext and int memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
brut7 - try scanning with QR droid. On my phone, even though there isn't a preview it actually DOES still scan the bar code.

Also - it could be dumb luck, but my compass apps now display correctly on 05112014 nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] brut7:
Hey your right, it does work, just doesn't show a preview and just downed compass app and sure enough, it points North :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
Excellent. The devs are doing a great job. The camera preview *used* to work on my phone for both QR droid and ABC so I know there's certainly hope there. I think if that gets sorted, then the remaining bug on my phone would be speakerphone mic mute (certainly not a show stopper but would be nice to have).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
well, lookie lookie, Things are getting fixed....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
Yep Ink - keep doing what you guys are doing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] brut7:
Loaded the 5/13 nightly and the camera is completely fixed excepting no option to save to external.

QR app doesn't seem to scan at all now though. I'll keep trying.

Thank You Car vs Driver!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
The save to external SD option has been removed due to most newer devices not even having an SD card...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] brut7:
Thanks InkSlinger.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Traace:
alternative u can mount media on external sd with app "foldermount"
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
Any info a bit confused about what has been fixed and what hasnt , camera si, speakerphone no?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] brut7:
From what I can see, the camera now works perfectly but QR apps don't.

I think the speakerphone bug still exists.

I'm using for everyday use now :) For me it's good enough for prime time and I'll be staying on it and upgrading to new nightlies regularly.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Sensors all work, afaik,gps,etc.....videocamera is recording and saving...code scanners still borked...Speakerphone is damn close...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
I'm on the 20140515 nightly and will confirm what Ink and brut7 said:

default camera app works - both stills and video

compass orientation now working

speakerphone mic still muted

Third party apps' camera preview not working - but QR Droid will actually scan a barcode for me. YMMV

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Speakerphone damn close? Excellent! :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Goliat137:
I am on 20140514 and was able to mobile deposit a check with a banking app.

Didn't get a preview while taking the check photos, so had to hold still and try a few times to get it centered.

But can review the photo after it is taken, and the deposit went through ok.

Thanks InkSlinger and all contributors!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
For what it's worth, I've noticed that when I open some apps like QR droid where I cannot see the preview, then I exit the app and hold the home button to show all recent apps, the preview is actually there! So as we've seen, the sensor is working but there's something amiss in how the apps are getting that data and displaying it. I wish I was smart enough to look at the code and figure it out, but hopefully this information helps the devs in some small way.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] champ784:
Yeah... Technically, scanner apps work... it's just a matter of not having a preview... I'm really hoping it's solved soon, cuz I'm a big user of Camscanner! It's not VITAL per say... It'd just be nice and all! :)

Ink-

Forgive my ignorance, but I've read some of the chatter on the kernel work in the other threads and am wondering which (if any) get rolled into CM11.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
CM uses stock cm kernel....based on caf...In order to flash a custom kernel on Cm you will need a caf kernel...aosp roms use aosp kernels...ATM I know Thomas is working on his LZ for you guys, but Im not sure if hes gonna do both...As of now hes doing aosp kernels for sure though..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] brut7:
QR

If anyone needs and until it's sorted out, QR Code Scan & Barcode Scanner from pickwick santa works well with no preview.

Thanks again everyone, loving CM11.

PS I've found that whn moving an app via link2sd to the external sd card's (ext4) partition, the icon is lost on reboot though it's still in the apps draw and still works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] champ784:
Regarding the missing icons, that has been a symptom since day one... Every ROM I've ever used loses icons of apps that have been moved to the SD partition. I never brought it up, assuming this is normal and considering CM may not be engineered particularly for our phone, considering it's not exactly a young one... Lol! Although, this could have been a huge assumption on my part... Any devs have any explanation for us lower folks? ;P

Sent from The Doctor's Blaze rocking CM11!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Being as its an icon issue and not that the app has actually disappeared, my guess is it's because the phone paints the screen (after booting) prior to completely mounting the SD card. What that means is the phone will boot and display a screen and think it's displayed the screen properly but it did so without the files on the SD card so it had no image to display for an icon...Mounting the SD card is the last step hardware wise on boot and anything on SD can't display properly if the devices launcher has already loaded...and easy workaround would be to open launcher settings and restart the launcher by itself in order to get the icons back once the SD has mounted...hope that helps..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
Hey Ink-

Any news on the camera previews? Just curious how it is going and if there's anything we can do to help. Thanks.

I've been meaning to ask this question from the start, but every time I flash a rom above 4.0.4, In the status bar it switches from 3g to H+ about every couple seconds, and no longer says 4g. Is that supposed to happen in the rom? Or is there no fix in that problem(If it is one)?

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
what issues did it fix for ya??
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] phenomejohn:
I was getting a lot of random reboots for the last few months' worth of 4.4.2 nightlies. So far so good with the 4.4.3 though (June 6 nightly). That's on a dirty flash too, so I was surprised it enhanced the stability as much as it did.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Traace:
4.4.3 out for CM Users? :) Nice!

I got random reboots on Validus too. Hope 4.4.3 will fix that here
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] phenomejohn:
Yeah, I was on a vicious cycle of flashing a new nightly almost every day in hopes of regaining system stability. Seems my quest is finally over!

They really did merge the 4.4.3 into the main CM source quickly. Very impressed they got it to all of us so fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] champ784:
I'm glad it's working better! I have a couple issues with the system UI every once in a while on my 4.4.2 build, even though I'm on a clean flash... Will be upgrading after my trip! I'm guessing it hasn't fixed any of the known issues though right? I know that's a lot to ask... XP

installed the latest version cm(cm-11-20140624-NIGHTLY-t769), and the caller hears an echo even when flashing radio UVLH5 Radios.

varinty have any solution?

sorry for my english
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] TheQuestionis..:
Did you make sure you did a clean flash? Because if you did a dirty flash, you can expect some bugs in the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
My apologies for jumping in here but thought I'd share my experience regarding baseband - and point out a possibly glaring mistake on my part. So I'm on the T989UVMC6 files (from JellyBean?). I never bothered to look into another when flashing to KitKat and apologize for not reading the main post of this thread more carefully. I don't remember asking Ink or anyone about staying on this - it just worked so I never bothered to change it. Now - I'm going with the "ain't broke. . blah blah" thing but wanted to ask if anyone has tried both and if there's a reason to switch.

For the record, I dirty flash (just flash from cmupdater) and battery life really hasn't changed for me with the recent nightlies. I can get about 30 hours on a battery (don't use my phone a ton) and only notice a difference if I forget something like turning of BT or setting location back to "battery saving."

Also, just curious Ink if there's any updates on camera previews in other apps (seriously not being pushy - just curious).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] krazzdav:
I am on 6/17 nightly and have noticed issues with the battery draining faster. I have also had charging problems where my battery would get hot and not charge but after rebooting it was fine. On to the latest nightly now ;)

Any rumors on the speakerphone fix?

camera preview is still messed up. haven't tested the speakerphone yet. dont see it in changelog tho

07/03 nightly

I'm a total noob here, but I followed the directions here- http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_t769 , grabbed the latest nightly and flashed the 6.0.3.8 recovery with heimdall like it says. Then I proceeded to flash the nightly with in that recovery and when it reboots I get the SAMSUNG logo then blank screen. I don't see it doing the rom installation or anything. I've searched multiple keyword combinations for "blank screen after flashing rom" to no avail. Anyone have any tips or something I might have missed? This is a T769 coming from stock.
