and i know why...there is missing code on my end for the snapchat and his end for all the rest...sent him a pm yesterday...have yet to hear from him...would like to collaberate on bringing things back into swing
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
No kidding! I came from the Samsung Epic, and this gives me hope I can cling to my qwerty keyboard for that much longer! You guys keep this phone alive!

Now if only a manufacturer would release a slider phone that isn't a dumb phone (or a blackberry...same thing really)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] clevebb:
Guessing this will also help every other of the ROMs out there. Aren't they also built on CM sources?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
I think apex is happy now. I'll push the changes tomorrow and run a full test. Nightly builds should start by Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Well I put a sim in and ... no radio. I have everything else working. So as soon as I can sort the radio out we will be good to go again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
I've been running M8 since it came out (upgraded from M7) and it's behaving very good.

The only issue I found is that wifi tethering is very unstable: it works for some time, then it just stops working on the computer until I toggle it off and on again on the phone (all this while the internet connection on the phone is still working).

I haven't debugged this a lot, but seeing as there are a lot of fixes to CM in the meantime, i'll wait for a more recent build before trying it again, and then report it if it's still in.

tdm: Thanks for picking up apex. Really. I was hoping it wasn't, but it really seems this is the last and best of the Android QWERTY. You're a hero for keeping it alive :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
i'm still on m7 (im lazy) but have not been able to get tethering to work. the laptop never gets an IP or if it does, it tries to use some other network connection instead. admittedly i've only tried twice but it would be nice to have.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Is that tethering in the rom itself? i am using liquidsmooth and downloaded a tethering app off the store and found it to work. Not sure if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
Yes, at least for me I have issues with the built-in tethering. Which third-party app are you using? I might give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
same for me - trying to use builtin. i always try to use what's already there except when it sucks (i hate apollo, but then i'm not typical... i don't use pandora, i listen to shoutcast stations. i organize my mp3s by folders and most dont have id3 info since i ripped it myself, and a large portion of my music is .mod/.xm/.s3m/etc, which apollo can't handle anyway)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
Don't like Apollo either, I use Shuttle.

O/T: As for no tagging, take a look at Musicbrainz Picard, it can ID your music and semi-automatically add tags, it's how I fixed my collection :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Just simply called "Android Hotspot"

Lemme know if it works. I didn't know about the built in tethering when I installed it. *shrugs*
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Seeing this and a little searching, and I see that there is an Android emulator/simulator. I'm digging as I write this, and answering most of the questions that I would have had - at least before I actually try doing it. But there are a few questions...

1 - The display is 800x480 - does that correspond to WXGA800 or WVGA800? (or something else?)

2 - What are DPad keys, and does the Relay have them?

3 - What is the cache partition size?

4 - Do I really need to know the correct camera resolution? (If so, what is it?)

I see nothing in the AVD page about wifi, and the only radio config is for GSM, which fortunately is on the Relay, but this seems incomplete.

At what level does this emulation really run? Seems to me that it must be running some amount of the rom image on top of the binary blobs, but not actually running the blob code itself. Is that blob interface that well defined for android?

Looking further, it appears that the emulator is not part of the base Android SDK, nor Eclipse. It looks like an entirely different package - Android Studio - needs to be installed. Or is there yet another, better emulator/simulator?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
hey bud sent you a pm a few days back....i also may have a few ideas on the radio issue your having....cm went moduless in d2 kernel...thus stuff needs changed in device side for it to work
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Okay I fixed the radio. Turns out it was a stupid mistake... I forgot to add the stock rild to the blobs. Doh!

I'll try to put up a test build later today. There are a couple issues still...

* Home button doesn't wake the device.

* Virtual keyboard won't appear even when the physical keyboard is retracted.

* Haven't gotten LTE data yet, only H+.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Give this a whirl, it should be working pretty much as I said in the last post...

Okay here's a new build.

Camera works but camcorder doesn't. Don't try to enable camcorder, you'll need to clear camera data and reboot to get out of it. Otherwise, same issues as mentioned above -- virtual keyboard, home button wake, and LTE. If you find anything else please let me know.

One issue less: the device had never support for lte, only h+.

Can I try to flash this build over the latest onofficial cm build from august ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Okay thanks.

I've not tried to flash over a previous build yet, but there's a good chance it will work. Just make sure to backup first, as always.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Fixed the camcorder. I just forgot a lib.

I'm going to be evil and overwrite the same zip on the server (again).

New md5 is 8711f09d5a2a43c12494c197a611a95b
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
So the virtual keyboard doesn't work at all? I use it so incredibly rarely, but in programs like snapchat the physical keyboard doesn't work (incredibly annoying.) Also what's annoying is having apps only work in portrait mode, never being able to switch to landscape.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
No I haven't gotten it to popup at all. It's probably a simple fix like an overlay setting or something. Just need to figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Any feedback on my build? I'm hoping to get this wrapped up in the next day or two so we can get M10. I need as much testing as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
I'll have to figure out what exactly I'll need the virtual keyboard for. Shouldn't be anything crucial. I could test it.

Changes:

* New initlogo

* Fixed home button wake

Still looking into the virtual keyboard issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Flashed directly over M8. Works at first blush, will do more detailed testing tomorrow. For tonight, made a call and text, wifi works, home button wakes, took a still with the camera, can confirm that the virtual keyboard doesn't pop up. Anything else you're looking for, specifically?

(I'm on PureTalk USA with only a voice plan, and use wifi for data.)

(The camera had still, but no video function on M8, needed same steps to recover.)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
I need to know anything that doesn't work as expected. Basic stuff like WiFi/BT Mac addrs, baseband version, etc. All the way to advanced things like tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Fixed the virtual keyboard. This should be 100% functional now. \o/

I'm shooting for getting this included in M10, which will be branching in the next few days. So please test the **** out of it and let me know right away if there are any issues at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stashcroft:
Seems to be working fine for me. Data, wifi, calls all OK.

Hardware and virtual keyboard both working.

Tried hard pretty hard to make it crash but can't.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
Wifi tethering isn't working for me, can't get to the menu either, flashed over 03/08 build. I'll give it a try tomorrow (a clean flash), really tired now.

cm11-apexqtmo-tdm-20140926b.zip

md5=7ae6286dbdc552983e995326ed95c6cc

Changes since 20140926:

* Fixed tethering. Tested USB and WiFi, didn't test BT.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
edit: not an issue.

Could you implement the cyanogenmod updates (you can change the server destination):

The galaxy mini (v1) also uses an unofficial mirror for cm11, it works great.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
The CM open source updates are all up for review on CM gerrit (review.cyanogenmod.com). I'm shuffling vendor blobs now. Both of those should be done within 2-3 hours at most. After that, official CM sources will produce functional builds again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Running your latest CM build right now. Only things I'm really noticing are some minor missing features, like being able to display the full date in the status bar (e.g. Friday 9/26), missing a torch button in the tiles set, no ability to put an MIUI-like carrier label in the top left corner, etc.

Overall, pretty good rom so far!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Yeah I missed the torch. Not familiar with the other options you mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Torch is really the only functional item I mentioned. Everything else is just cosmetic. Rom runs great! Not getting that strange bug where I lost the signal for two hours like I did on a different rom. Not quite sure why I was the only one with that bug.

Anything in specific you want me to test?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
bug: gps not working (using icoyote/tomtom), did not use a clean flash yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Oh, hrm, he's right. CoPilot doesn't work. It appears the GPS module doesn't even start. Toggling the location button doesn't do anything. Bummer. I use that app a lot.

Edit: Mine was a clean flash. GPS works in Liquidsmooth, so if it's similar perhaps it's a quick fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] juajaime:
Same here. Google Maps picks up my location and gives me directions but when I try to use navigation I get a message that there is no GPS hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Torch is missing from my quick settings, but is functional from the applet.

GPS is missing - I normally keep it at "battery saver", but tapping that does nothing. Bringing up GPS utilities says that GPS is missing.

I was hoping to try pairing bluetooth with the car today, but am out of time. Maybe tomorrow. I've never used bluetooth before.

Other than that the phone is doing well in normal use. One minor nit... When texting and sliding out the keyboard, there is a longer delay before the screen goes into landscape mode than there used to be. Sliding the screen used to change to landscape immediately, now there is a delay on the order of 10-15 seconds.

Not seeing this. Is anyone else?

Note I restored my wife's M8 backup and upgraded directly from there, so this isn't a clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
I didn't have this issue either.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
All changes are merged into cm sources and there is s pull request for the blobs. Still hoping we can make M11.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Everything works great so far! Thanks for fixing GPS! Goin on a road trip tomorrow so I was in dire need of it lol. Can you imagine? Ten years ago people used...*shudder*...paper maps??

I'll test bluetooth tomorrow, but it's running super smooth! It also is very easy on the battery! Keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
I'm not seeing it today, either. Don't know what was up last night. Downloading new image now to flash.

Flash complete. GPS is present in quick settings, but does not work. I took it outside to improve chances of getting a satellite, and after several minutes failed to. I have a GPS Utilities app that shows (among other things) satellites and their strength, and none showed. When I first got the phone I had to get some utility and do some sort of low-level reset of the GPS hardware to get it working. I need to dig that information up and repeat, I guess.

Another oddity... Tethering showed up in my quick-settings panel. I double-checked, and I had not enabled it as one of the tiles. Since I have no data plan and only use wifi for data, it doesn't make sense for me.

That oddity is gone now, too. My daughter just texted her arrival home (2 states away) and while I had it open I checked and noticed that the tether tile was gone from quick settings. Go figure.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
I did see some strange behavior for GPS on the app "GPS test" .. It only showed a few sats and none used, so there I'd likely an abi issue. But it did work for me. Didn't see any tethering issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
When I was running GPS today to go on a couple hour trip, it took a while to lock where it's usually instant. Probably ~1 minute. So there might still be some odd behavior in GPS
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
This afternoon I turned on the GPS, started the "GPS Status" app, put the phone up on the dashboard where it would have a clear glass-only shot at the sky, and drove home from work. When I got home roughly a half hour later I didn't have a lock, nor did it show any satellite reception. It's the GPS Status app that can reset AGPS data, which is what I did when I first got the phone, to get things working. I've already done that, and this time it didn't work for me. Is there some other app better suited for either "repairing" this, or telling me what's happening?

BTW, I'm using your latest flash, and the virtual keyboard does pop up. A friend at work insists that he first got a slider, then quit using the physical keyboard. I find the virtual keyboard awkward so far and prefer the physical one.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Did you do a clean flash of the install? I'm just having slow locks on my GPS (~1 minute) but my GPS still works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
And the blobs are updated. I'll resume nightly builds tomorrow and push for M11. The only issue so far appears to be slow GPS lock, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
I get some funky activity on my lock screen sometimes when I turn it on. The little circle you have to drag to open is sometimes half off the screen, requiring me to open the phone in landscape to unlock it. Also, there's some bells and whistles in Liquid that this lacks, but that's not a huge priority. I don't see anything where we can edit the power menu.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Should get an official nightly build tonight. Fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
w00t! http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=apexqtmo

Someone want to give that a try and report back?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] computerinfo21:
I have a second board that I can test with. I'll give it a try.

Strange thing is the wifi will not turn on with the 9/27 build you posted here.

Wifi works in stock and liquid roms though, so I'm unsure what that's all about, haven't tried any other versions yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Seems to work pretty good! I haven't really checked all the features, but I haven't had an issue so far. Installed it on my phone by downloading from my phone. Don't have my laptop at work.

I will say though that the ads on XDA are REALLY annoying on this phone. I think Liquid's had an ad blocker cooked in so I never noticed them.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
XDA has ads?!? Lol.

I use tapatalk and my ROM has an adblocker builtin... never see any ads on XDA and rarely anywhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] computerinfo21:
Haven't had time for much testing, but seems to work good here too.

Same issue with no wifi. No bluetooth either now that I investigate a little more.

Both bluetooth and wifi MAC addresses show as "unavailable" in Settings -> About Phone -> Status

Fully wiped data/cache/davlik each time.

Any troubleshooting tips or advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Crap. Logcat please (link to pastebin or whatever). Also does my last build have the same issue, or die it work for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stashcroft:
I don't have this issue. Bluetooth and wifi working fine in both the 9/27 build and the 1/10 offical build.

Cheers,

Scott
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
The M11 branch has been cut, so we need to get any issues ironed out in the next day or two. I'm particularly worried about the bt/wifi issue that [MENTION=5447870]computerinfo21[/MENTION] reported.

I think we need good results from two paths before I'm comfortable with M11: (1) clean wiped install, and (2) upgrade from M8.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] computerinfo21:
Failed to load driver

When trying to turn on wifi the following shows in logcat:

E/WifiStateMachine( 557): Failed to load driver

I just noticed Settings -> About phone says Baseband version T699UVMA2

Is that the problem?

Flashed to that to unlock the phone, downloading a stock JB rom right now to update. Any good downloads to just update that without waiting on this full rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
I don't have the phone on me, it's with my wife at home. What stock version corresponds to T699UVMA2? What baseband do others have, where it works? We may need to assert on a bootloader version or something...

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Yeah see http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4712

UVMA2 says it's ICS 4.0, I'm assuming everyone else including my wife is on UVBMC5 (JB 4.1)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stashcroft:
My baseband is T699UVBMC5.

I upgraded the bootloader and modem from the links on this page:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Apexqtmo_Info

when I first started using CM.

Cheers,

Scott
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] computerinfo21:
Thanks Scott. From the page you linked - "... wifi will not function without the radio upgrade"

Curious that Liquid Smooth works though, I thought it was based on Cyanogenmod.

I'd say that is the problem though.

I'll update and report back.

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Yep that was it!

Wifi works great now, and bluetooth can be enabled!

FWIW Bluetooth does not show an address in Settings -> About phone -> Status unless it is on, while wifi shows its MAC address regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
That is normal
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
just to clear the air Liquid is not based on CM...whilst some devices on it uses just the device trees from cm the ROM itself is based off of slimkat and has become much its own thing
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
So we are all good for M11 now? With the possible minor glitch of a slow GPS lock sometimes?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Way to go

Does that explain why we must use TWRP instead of CWM? Will TWRP be safe to use with CM builds now that they've resumed? (BTW My CM updater shows your nightlies 10/2 and 10/1.) IT'S OFFICIAL. APEXQTMO is back!

Great job in keeping this phone alive, [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION]! and of course I shouldn't forget to credit [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] for giving me (AND others) cool roms to try.

But CM is my thing. If either you or tdm can clarify which recovery I should use that'd be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Having choice and opinion of rom is why theres the option availabe...each end user is different...its great when theres no bashing against eachother because one is different than the other but there is reasons for differences...to be honest ive always used twrp...especially on kitkat but also depends what is updated more and what you feel you like more.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Any kk compatible recovery should work. I assume cwm or twrp would work. I've only used cm recovery because I'm working on that project.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
Yesterday I used tomtom and it was fine, but today I couldn't use the GPS anymore (+- 500 meter delay on highway using tomtom/maps) using the same build.

Is there any progress for the GPS module ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
No progress yet. I'm not sure when I'll get it fixed, it may be a few days. My wife has her phone back so I only have limited time to work on it... very early in the morning or very late at night.

I'll be buying another apexq for dev work, should have that next week or so.

I have a question AND an idea

Whoa! Was my post deleted by a moderator? If so, tell me why. Guess I'll re-post it. Maybe it was my connection and it didn't go through.

[MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION] I have had a certain issue with KitKat builds regarding WiFi AP. It resets the preference (Home, Work, or Public) every toggle and I know my PC isn't at fault, I use an AMD chipset on my envy m6. This doesn't happen in my Jelly Bean build (CM 10.2.0 stable) so I'm curious as to what caused this and how I can get a dev on board who can prevent it not just in apexqtmo builds, but share it with other devs as well.

According to TeamApexQ members, it's an upstream bug (potentially introduced into KitKat code, I guess). But if the SD Card fix exists, why can't this fix exist? That was also brought upon by KitKat. Do you think a flashable zip is possible?

Once again, thanks for all you do! Great job in keeping this platform alive!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
This sounds like a general issue. Please file a bug report on cm jira.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
That's exactly what I'll do. BTW, do I need to use a CM account to do this? Just wondering.
