Which version for 4.4 has the crazy echo and buzzing issue solved? I'm still just flashing like a mad man :banghead:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] phenomejohn:
Anyone else having an issue with their Blaze just randomly dropping service for a while, like straight from 2/3 bars and H+ to 0? It sometimes fixes with a reset, but not always. And for some reason, it only happens at my house.

Probably a hardware issue, but just thought I'd check.

Overheating and battery drain

My blaze overheats and the battery drains so fast when connected to mobile data. The overheating rises to 50°C. The battery drains at 10% per minute. I am on the latest nightly. This has been happening for a month, I thought updates would fix it but the issue persists. Can anyone help?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
i dont have that issue. do a clean flash , format all including sdcard0 and it should help
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
I wouldn't hope for much when it comes to development...if its not a hw issue, I wish you the best...not much, if anything , is happening for this device anymore..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] phenomejohn:
That might be related to why my phone keeps dropping out of service. I have noticed that it's been running hot.

Currently on the 7/21 nightly. Tried a newer one from a few days ago, but it was lagging so badly I was forced to revert.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] krazzdav:
Hey guys just wanted to let you know about a few of my experiences;

my profile issue with the ringer not coming back after changing it to one with it on is fixed. I think it was having the wrong version of gapps installed but anyhow a clean flash with the 4.4 gapps it finally started working.

I was always having problems with my mobile data stopping to work occasionally, sometimes turning it off then back on in settings would fix it and other times would have to restart the phone. I was using the UVLH5 radio. After upgrading to the newer T989UVMC6 radio this issue seems to have stopped.

At the same time I upgraded my radio, I flashed to the 8-19 nightly and then after my phone wakes from sleeping it lags really really bad for some time. It eventually clears up but not sure if its the radio yet or the nightly. (clean install/black hole wipe)

____

on the 1st page would one of the mods kindly update the gapps links and the radio links for others?

___

does anyone know if the speaker audio function is still being looked into? I sure hope so....:good:

Not Too Old

I know the blaze is an old device and it may not look like it's worth spending time to develop for. Also, i know that development of ROMS and ironing out bugs to make the ROMS work take a lot of time, hardwork and beers to happen. But I believe that the whole concept of custom ROMS was, partly, to give new life and hope to the "old" devices that OEMs have abandoned and let users who spent money buying them to suffer... Look at the Galaxy nexus( yes, i know its a nexus, the holy nexuses!), their users and devs haven't yet given up... even upto the point of collecting signatures so that google would update their device (although it didn't happen)... I know i shouldn't compare the blaze to the galaxy nexus...but the nexus is older, with a chip-maker who pulled out of the mobile chip-making industry. Please don't give up on our device coz you devs are the last hope. The day you will stop developing for the device is the day this device will SURELY DIE! Thanks for your hardwork!!!:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Look, the device was abandoned on ICS, and you have fully stable JB...the fact that kk even boots is a miracle in itself..it has new life, but when a device gets dropped on ICS blobs, its damn hard to keep it alive..things would've been much easier if Sammy would've given y'all official JB, but they didn't..,you can blame them for the lack of Dev. I myself never owned a blaze, I had an i577, and devved for it, and shared the wealth with the blaze users as its a near variant and was similar enough to trust my builds...As my i577 has since blown up and it'd cost more to fix than its worth, I have no way to test builds and will NOT send out builds that I cannot at least test on a similar device..I no longer track the msm8660 repos or know where the devices status is atm.,.If I still had my device, you guys would still have builds...Sucks, I know..Now to your Nexus comment...I assume you don't check gerrit very often because as of this week the Nexus (toro) has now been dropped in support by CM....the fact that the architecture of the CPU was dropped back in 2012, makes it a massive pita, similar to our device, and keeping it alive would be a full time job for no pay..Can you afford to do that?...Not many can....Sometimes you just need to know when to walk away, and know when to run...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] champ784:
I agree that it's hard work... I finally upgraded to a Nexus 5 and LOVE it!! Although, I'll admit, my little Blaze grew on me and it was an amazing little phone! It was my first actual smartphone, and just kept fighting! It taught me a lot about how rooting works and I couldn't have asked for a better first Android phone! But like you said Ink... Eventually, you gotta know when a good story comes to an end. I'll always keep my Blaze as a backup (more so as a souvenir thank anything..) But its time for this little soldier to retire and die a proud death! This probably sounds a bit cheesy... But it's true that this phone did what it was supposed to do and more, and it'll always be a good phone! This is champ, signing off from the Blaze forums... (That is, unless I break my Nexus somehow... ;P)

Ink, all I have for you is gratitude... I accept, maybe it's time to retire this phone, it has done its part. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
I support the n5 on my new project... *hint hint*
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] osbaldov:
I suggest and I know this might be much but...is there a guide for us non developers to develop and help to keep maintaining this phone? What can we do to help? How can we build without prior knowledge? I'm fine if kitkat is the last build we will ever see, but how can we build and port other ROMs as a noob? What are the tools needed? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
Many many tutorials on XDA. Google is your friend. Were just here to help those bumps on the road flatten up xD.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
I feel the exact same way. My Blaze was my first and taught me the ins and outs of this game. I've since moved to the LG G2 but have my Blaze as a little reminder. It's a great little phone, but all good things must end...

Most Stable CM11 build

Hey there, I'm moving on to a new phone and am giving this trusty gun to my GF. Currently got 07242014 nightly and its got a few issues/instabilities. Anyone have any luck with any of the other builds in the ensuing 2 months? She needs stability, but I'd like to keep her on 4.4. Thanks for the tips!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] brut7:
Ive been loading up the night-lies almost every day and currently on the most recent 9/17.

The camera has gotten better, it used to change aspect ration when changing back and forth to movie mode but doesn't seem to do that anymore.

Plus i think it moved from 442 to 444.

Best Wishes,
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
...

guys, dont expect too much from the new nightlies. its very unlikely the major bugs will be fixed and as I said before, the newer nightlies cause the phone to run slower and lag at times.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Good news guys...I "may" be receiving a blaze this weekend...Let's see what happens...Will be good to finally have the device I've been working on for so long now..lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Chas10:
You deserve a free phone for all the work and dedication you have added to these threads.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jafferkhan:
its about time the blaze came home, good to know you'll be contributing more for the old phone... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BlazeUser03:
Since there may be a chance that the Blaze will continue getting some occasional attention, I was wondering if there would be any chance to add audio.r_submix.default to the product_packages in the device.mk file. I am trying to mirrorcast using google chrome, but I don't have the correct file in order to do this. I am tried using the 9/20/14 nightly for CM11, but still no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jafferkhan:
better ask the developers here, they'd have a much better idea which version would be appropriate. At the moment i myself am trying all the versions, including the nightlies for the other 4.4 ROMS
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
I have yet to own a blaze, despite all the building I have done for it...This evening I should be receiving one, and will be looking to address issues that I have wanted to do, but not had a device to test on...I will see what I can do, between device specific stuff, and bringing my new ROM to the device as well..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] alexischino:
Those are good news man!! Thanks for your work, i been using your roms on my old blaze for a long time now and now i also rocking your brokenOS on my galaxy mega 6.3 :thumbup::cool:

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
That's awesome man..Glad to hear that as well!..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] krazzdav:
That's great InkSlinger420 :good: you will finally be getting a Blaze and breathing more life into this little phone that just won't quit. :)

For those that want something similar in size but capable of 4G LTE the Samsung Galaxy Light SGH T399 looks almost identical, comes stock on 4.2.2 and definitely has the 4G LTE modem. Ran a speedtest comparing my blaze to my friend's Light and his upload was faster than my download speeds! (15mbps) The CPU is a little different -- 1.4 quad vs the 1.5 dual core. The bad things I have seen about the phone is it uses a TFT screen and there's relatively no dev on it yet.

For me I will stick with my Blaze until something better in the same small form factor comes out. :D ... plus now that Ink has a Blaze he can get the speaker phone working. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
F Yeah!

I have to add that I'm on the 0915 nightly and the battery life and overall "snappiness" of the phone has GREATLY improved. I don't know what changed but it made a huge difference. Now, if Ink can smash the speakerphone and camera preview (third party apps) bugs. . . :fingers-crossed: I'll be happy to test anything that Ink comes up with if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] DefiantBrood:
Yes! Ink is the man! Going to install CM11 nightlie on my wife's Blaze tonight for the first time. Her stock phone already has the speakerphone and camera BS going on as it is, but at least it will run smoother!

Since you're using the nighties, would you know if the barcode scanner apps are working?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
What version are you comparing it to? im currently on the 9/5 nightly and the stupid thing acts up all the time!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
I was on a version around that time (maybe 9/7?) and it was in bad shape. The 9/15 has been WAY better for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dledwith2:
What did you fix? and where is it? I still only see the Dec 12th nightly on the cyanogenmod site. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
OK..the nightlys were broken..they have now been fixed and the new one will be available tomorrow..they run in cycles and the fix was merged after last nights run...you'll see it in the morning..

–If I helped ya, hit the thanks, or hell, buy me a beer...–

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dledwith2:
So the thing that was broken is the fact that our devices haven't had nightlies delivered in a few days when other devices did?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Yes..something got merged into source that broke msm8660 devices ...CVD has fixed the issue and we should be back on track tomorrow..that's the thing with nightlys..Everyone is tweaking source to get this to run on multiple devices and sometimes it breaks something..all you can do is try to fix it without breaking source for a different device as well..

Installation Aborted Please Help

I keep getting an error when trying to instal CM11. I am using CWM V5.5.0.4. Here are the steps I am using.

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe cache partition

3. Wipe dalvik cache

4. Install zip from sdcard, I have tried the cm-11-20131211-NIGHTLY-t769 and cm-11-20131211-NIGHTLY-t769

Both of them give the following error after it shows Installing update...

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] tommyboy8125:
You NEED the latest recovery listed in the top of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] cianciolo:
Thanks, is this the recovery you are talking about? t769_cwm_4.4_recovery.zip

Do I install it the same way as the CM11 and Gapps? I would not think I could that way since I would be using CWM to update CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] tommyboy8125:
That's it. Download and flash it as any other file then reboot recovery and retry cm11.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
To backup what tommyboy said..you download the recovery to SD..flash it from present recovery..reboot recovery..wipe the big 3 ..flash ROM and gapps..reboot..

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
Yes, it sounds silly, but this is really how it's done. In fact, you can even flash TWRP with CWM or CWM with TWRP! Or other recoveries. :P

The reason this is the way it is, is because the recovery partition is loaded into memory on boot. Therefore, if you flash another recovery in its place, the original one (still loaded into memory) is unaffected UNTIL you reboot into recovery again, then the new one is loaded into memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lcalin77:
Hi, does anybody else has a problem with the gallery? The phone reboots every time I open the gallery.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
You need to format internal SD k(I did external as well) from recovery..move all files to pc first..then move back afterbeen an issue since before 4.4..

~sent from a slimmed down i577 using Tapatalk cause the xda app sucks~
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lcalin77:
Ok thanks, I'll try when I'll get home.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lanrrydon:
This should work

To back it up also .. if you have any movie files on your memory card that's of High resolution some movies can occupy size of 700+MB , all those movie are actually meant for laptop not phone but you can also watch them on phone too, the problem is generating thumbnail for those files thats why your Gallery reboot, so just delete the large files or if you want to retain them don't bother to open your Gallery....have been having the same probz, until I deleted those movies .....

When will CM10.2 features be ported to CM11... I really miss all those tweaks and designs.. Pie, changing to tablet ui and all that...

Patience grasshopper..asking for etas is frowned upon..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lcalin77:
Hi, I have transferred all my files SD card and internal memory to my pc, and I format both internal and external SD using cwm. After rebate gallery worked fine (no pictures found) I took some pictures and worked ok. After I try bringing my files back from my pc, I have the same problem rebooting when I open the gallery. (I don't have any large files stored)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Then you either have a corrupted file or a file not compatible...Its been talked about before..Best bet is to only transfer the most important files and pictures back..And MAKE SURE THERE IS NO RESIDUAL APP DATA (via backups and such) as they will cause issues when restoring from a prior version of android..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lcalin77:
Ok, thank you, and thank you for all the work you put into this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] bgfalcon:
Anyone having an issue with Google Now cards not showing up after a while. I can get them back if I reboot my phone. Also when I restart all the apps I have saved on the SD, the icons disappear off my home screens. Just curious to see if anyone else has had these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mk1277:
Well, yes and no. They can in fact "work" but there is no camera preview. I personally use QR Droid and have been able to get it to scan a barcode, but it's a complete guess since there's no preview to show if you're hitting the whole thing, if it's in focus, etc. YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
also remember that the flash sometimes doesn't turn off and on... my phone tends to reboot when i try and change it too many times.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] krazzdav:
I'm on 9/14 and have to agree it is doing pretty good. :good: I'm also using the T989UVMC6 radio and way better than the "preferred" UVLH5 -- kept losing data connection over that radio before.

on the 9/14 if I turn of the flash just have to exit the camera and then open it back up it's fine for me. The only reboot issue I've had was if I change the APN to the LTE IPV6.

Issue with interactive governor

For over a month I had been noticing occasional issues with my blaze running very slowly, sometimes it seemed frozen until a forced reboot. I discovered that at these times the CPU was stuck at it's minimum frequency, in my case 384 MHz. I could get it unstuck by temporarily changing the governor to anything else and then back to interactive. (Settings>Performance>Processor) This issue could occur every few days or sometimes every few hours. A week ago I started over with a fresh install of the 20140915 build and reinstalled all my apps. Thiis solved some problems that had developed over time but the interactive govenor bug remained. 2 days ago I changed to the conservative govenor and although it's too early to know for sure I haven't experienced any of these slow downs although the device seems slightly less reponsive than when the interactive govenor was working. I'm using the kernel that came with CM11

II hope this helps someone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
good find there! mine usually is so unresponsive im not able to check that setting. It ends up dialing someone i didnt want to and i have no way of canceling it as i can here they say hello :p
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeck:
I had the same issue, helplessly watching the phone dial. So far I haven't had the problem with the conservatiive governor but I could go days sometimes on the interactive governor without a problem. I'll post again if I find the phone locked to tthe minimum CPU MHz while on conservative.

Working Camera on Beanstalk

About the Qr code reader preview, instagram camera preview; the beanstalk rom by Skywalker.00 on android 4.4.2 worked. I tried it today and it worked flawlessly. I think beanstalk is based on cm11. So if that worked, why isn't cm11 camera working the same? The ROM is on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2597594.

hey ink, i have been running your Validus series after CM11, since you're active here i thought of updating you. i think Validus is perfect in terms of battery and performance. with one of the other radios, it's no echoes and call issues either, except for the speakerphone. there is however, heat up issues, the phone heats up pretty bad when it's charging, never happened on any other ROM i've tried.... any ideas what's causing it? same charger, same battery, only on Validus
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:

cpu speed

has anyone tested the latest nightlies for this cpu issue? If not, i can possibly do it in the next few days. Gets annoying when phone stops resonding for 45 seconds and does whatever it pleases on its own ;) Please let me know, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] osbaldov:
I have experienced some lag on some governors, like interactive. Just use a CPU app and change the CPU min to 1.0ghz and max 1.5ghz. Use performance and deadline. Get yourself the greenify app as well. Those settings I've used and not getting any lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] minkmendor:
have u experienced it on the latest nightlies tho? ive heard reports that things past 9/17 seem to be ok.

Did you get the Blaze? Just wondering. In a month or two I WILL be able to afford a new computer. Meaning (well maybe) I will be able to build! I still have your old messages to help me through the way. I was so close to creating a ROM but my dinosaur computer can't handle it xD. Thanks for the help Ink! Hope you got your blaze!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] osbaldov:
Things are a bit better and smooth. I have noticed that sometimes my calls don't go through and work till I reboot and try again. It could just be me cause I switched radios around. I'm gonna completely reset with Odin and see if the problem still occurs.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jafferkhan:
kudos to you guys for working towards the phone, it's old and dated but you guys are working so hard on bringing this phone up to a point where it's new and fresh. I have used nearly every kitkat rom on this forum, few have made it and few were amazing but weren't worked on anymore since the device is old, so it's understandable.

i hope you guys won't leave the blaze, at least till one 4.4 ROM is good enough to be used as a DD :)
