This phone is not my daily driver, and I'll do as much as I can, but I also have a day job
I would appreciate all discussion stay to this thread, and I'd love it if there were some community self-help.
State of the Union (for the Blaze 4G) (2012-11-05)
Current state of the ROM. This likely applies to any of the ROMs using the kernel sources coming from CyanogenMod for this device.
The device mostly works as it should. There are some problems currently people are having with this phone, and I will detail those here:
1) First and foremost, the Screen of Death. This is a problem that isn't only occuring to us. Just a couple of days ago I asked what the status was and the answer is that they have no idea. Some think it's specific to our platform (msm8660, which we share with a number of other phones), except that I've experienced it on other platforms, like my S3. Some think it's related to the display, except that not all the devices on this platform use the same display. Because of the randomness and lack of verbosity in the bug, they don't have a way of getting any useful data on it. dmesg and logcats are pointless. They are working hard trying to find it, but keep in mind that it isn't just us.
2) Saving pictures somewhere other than local storage. Yes, you should be able to save to your SD card. I think this is coming sooner rather than later. The following patch popped up over the weekend and adds in the functionality: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/25848. The Q&A responses to it look good. I suspect it'll go through a revision or two once they work out the bugs and then it'll get incorporated.
3) Saving app data somewhere other than the local storage. While I'm looking into it and talking to officials, I'm fairly confident that this behavior won't change in the official CM builds. Some of the other CM derived roms may allow this, and you should probably look there to solve this problem. The sad thing fact that our devices shipped with 1.2 GB of internal storage. I don't know why Samsung hates us so much, but they do. And therefore, the default behavior for CM is bad for those of us that want to game. Some users have reported success using an app called Directory Bind. I haven't used it and can't vouch for it, however it looks like it'd let you point specific directories from your internal storage to a space on your external storage. This is definitely safer than the mount swapping ideas that have been going around.
4) BLN isn't 100% unbuggy. Yes, BLN is buggy. BLN is the Button Lights Notifications. As of 11/10 we are on the official CM cypress-touchkey driver. However it seems there's still a bug there. Occasionally if you unlock during a notification, the lights won't come on. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
5) Camera Flash won't disable. This is unfortunate. Apparently if you tell the camera to disable flash, it simply won't do it. It's towards the bottom of my list, but it is definitely there.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that CyanogenMod version 10 is a moving target. Lots of stuff is happening, and until it's labeled as "stable" (and probably even for some time after that), we will continue to experience bugs.
Thank you

Make sure to check the MD5 sum of your download(s). Make sure you wipe dalvik, and do a factory/data reset from CWM. It might also help to format /system.
I used this ZIP in my last install and it has worked fin for me so far... I've actually found it to be fairly stable...

How has the data seemed? The "regular" stuff seemed to work great for me, but since I don't use this phone on a regular basis I don't know how to judge the 3/4g performance.
Also, I'd love to hear about maps performance (GPS, compass, etc).
I know I'm opening a can of worms by asking about this stuff (everyone will be hyperaware of things that never bothered them before), but it's useful to know as feedback.
Data seems normal to me. GPS and compass seem to be working fine for me also.

Surprisingly this is actually more stable than CM9 lol. The camera is smoother and has more options and the Google account synching is easier. The transitions are fast and cool too.
While I'm not a fan of the navigation bar due to the smaller screen, I do love the easy access to the multitasking. It makes switching apps easier. Is this something that you could possibly port without the navigation bar when you fix the buttons? Like give an option in the settings to replace the search button for the multitasking action? I can access the searching from the top widget. Just throwing ideas out lol.
Also the UI sounds are not working, along with the keyboard sounds. I also get this message once in a while about the "CM updater stopped working" it's not a big deal. I haven't used the data much, so I'll report in a little while. Worked fine during the little moment I used it.
Update:
UI sounds are working. Never mind. Let's see if it's consistent or not lol.

Glad to hear it's working out stable for you!
I'm not a Java/Android developer per se... I'm a bit of a self-taught hacker and the majority of my work for this was really about the kernel and forward porting the changes from 3.0.8 samsung sources to the 3.0.43 that CM uses. Adding things to the settings seems a bit daunting to me, but I'll look into it. Always wanted a reason to actually start developing for android
I can tell you that on my SGS3 (and I imagine on other phones as well), the home button, when as a long press, brings up the multitasking menu. This would probably be the immediate answer to your situation for this phone.
I could also possibly just offer up a flashable zip to remap the key and that would be much easier for me.
My long term goal really is to get this into github (and into the CM nightly cycle) and get my kernel changes into the cm kernel for msm8660 so I don't have to maintain the patches myself.

I meant to mention that they start working after the first time you adjust the volume. This seems to be a general CM10 bug as I've had it (and seen people complain about it) on the SGS3.

I never saw this posted before,but imo was a big bug.
When you like say go to settings and slowly scroll say down, then stop for a second and slowly go the opposite way, you can move your finger poetry far before the screen jumps to your finger..... Not like that on my vibrant or sensation... Especially in gaming that was annoying especially shooting games requiring fine aiming readjustments.... I believe the sgs2 has the issue as well, like the threshold is off...
Anyone else notice that?
Also those calling me a troll stop. I still want a g2x when its a better phone...
YouTube video of my sensation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58bbvC78BR0&feature=youtube_gdata_player On multitouch test it moves very nicely when I stop and slowly move it again. You can see the sensation can move it slow....... Try that with the g2x and it will not respond right away but then jump to the right position....
Here's what I'm talking about but on a sgs2. This is what my g2x did and so does my friends... So i know they all do at least stock.. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...e.com/watch?v=sRXcBcpSD1w&v=sRXcBcpSD1w&gl=US

Mine didn't do this but it always takes me a couple of swypes to unlock it. Also, when scrolling, it seems like a flick of my finger doesn't get very far. For instance, in the app drawer, it will take two to three swypes just to get to the bottom.

Was that on the stock rom? I remember the same thing on my phone when it was stock. This was fixed in other roms though. I've been using Ultimate and CM7 primarily and they scroll super fast and no problems on the lock screen either.
Mines does this. It is most notable in the browser it the xda app. It is annoying.

Its not an issue with the touchscreen itself. Its the rom you're using and the way it handles the physics of scrolling. I'm using CM7 now, and Ultimate G2X before this, and they both scroll a lot faster.
Mines does it in the setting but it doesn't bother me I had to try to make it happen no big deal just give me gingerbread

My touchscreen does not have this problem. Stock and rooted btw.
Please stop trolling the g2x forums. It is ridiculous that you sell a phone and then keep posting threads about your problems with it.
If someone else with a g2x has an issue that you dealt with and you have a solution or can confirm that they are not alone, by all means be helpful.
Otherwise, you're being a troll.

Whatever RaycerX09 issues are I don't know, with 4 posts he way off base.
There is a video on Youtube of a G2x with an early release of 2.3 which he give a review of.
He notes the problem of slow recognition on the unlock swipe. I have this problem in the all apps section about 20% of the time, slow to pick up and or not picking up.....have to multi swipe.
This sounds close enough to the problem in the OP. Long story short is the reviewer says the problem was greatly if not totally fixed in 2.3....he specifically addressed the unlock recognition, which should be the worse case.
This problem was fixed once I loaded ADW or Launcher Pro.
Some launchers change those things but stock did have a weird scroll. Its like it tried to scroll a page.
CM7 fixed that in one of the earlier builds. On the latest nightly it is smooth as silk.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Yeah mine does the exact same thing. It shows itself mostly in the browser, sometimes it can be quite the pain in the ass just scroll slowly because it constantly wants to take these big jumps.
Mine does it on stock using LauncherPro. The "rom" that affects this is the stock ROM, so it is LG's fault then Not even rooted
Those calling me a troll need to behave yourselves. Don't cry I was wondering if anyone has the issue cause mine did and so does my friend that I'm rooting...
Helping a buddy out and mentioned it , I remember mine had the issue... Don't get your panties in a wad .. tall ruining my high..lol
I've had my G2x since day one that it was released... never experienced anything like that with the touch screen - other than having to swipe more than once in a blue moon to unlock it...
Is there anything that I can install or something to have a physical camera button. Obviously there's only 3 choices, volume up and down. And the power button. But I dislike the resolution of the front camera but its hard to take pictures when not looking at the screen and using the rear camera.
Thanks

Yeah it's quite annoying missing the camera button because you can't see it, lol.
Just thought some dev would've had the same problem and fixed it somehow.
Thanks for trying though.

Go to recovery. Hit Backup, after just flash CM7 the way you flashed Oxygen. Backup apps with Titanium before for easy restoring on CM7. Also get Google apps zip as CM doesn't include them.
Also keep i mind that the hardware cam button only works when the app is running. However you can set cam app to one of the 4 touch buttons below your display.
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App
Make sure you perform a wipe of your data partition, as well as a wipe of cache and (advanced ->) dalvik cache before flashing CM. Besides using Titanium, you also absolutely need to perform a full backup from recovery... Otherwise, things may get complicated if anything goes wrong. Once on CM, do *not* use the 2g/3g toggle feature, as it has a known bug that may well send your phone off into non-usability. In any case, CM is a very different approach to Oxygen, so switching over just for the camera button function might be a bit much if you actually like the way Oxygen works.

Just flashed the latest RG2x MIUI. I've never used MIUI before so I'm sorta figuring things out as I go, it's quite different from what I'm used to. Anyway I'm trying to use the battstat widget which I have installed but it won't show up in the widget list. This is one of those that doesn't actually have an icon to access any sort of settings, so it doesn't show up anywhere at all except in my application lists. Is there a way to get it running without having to change the launcher? I sort of like the whole MIUI feel and would prefer to keep it for a while.

Does anybody know the haptic feedback vibration levels in WIND's Froyo OS? I have rooted my LG G2X and installed Cyanogenmod 7, and I've been endlessly, as well as hopelessly, trying to discover and match the vibration levels with WIND's.
I really like the " short and quick feeling" when I press on the capacitive buttons on WIND's FROYO OS, compared to Cyanogenmod's laggy, sluggish response when I press on them.
I was able to compare them as my mom and I have the same phones, with her phone not being rooted, and I can seriously say that the overall feeling when pressing the back button or typing on the keyboard is much, much nicer (unless it's just me).
THANKS
Since you are on cm7, go to settings, Cyanogenmod settings, Input, Haptic feedback tweaks, and then tap on set down pattern. After that you can adjust your settings to the way you want, I have 0 5 7 19. I haven't been on froyo since april so I don't remember how that froyo haptic feedback feels like. You can also always test the way it feels before you apply. Make sure to tell me what your settings u changed it too.
Thanks, I changed the values to the ones you gave me. However, it still doesn't feel the same, I just compared it to my mom's phone again. xD Is this just a problem with the ROM? Because in stock ROMs like Weapon G2X or XboarderMod it has the same nice, quick feeling as WIND's Froyo, but there is no option to tweak the haptic feedback vibrations. THANKS THO!

Well since you have your Mom's phone next to you maybe you can try different values until u finally match the one and then post your findings? I don't have another g2x that i can compare it to.

Yeup, I don't like it I think I remember somewhere (otherwise I must have dreamt reading it) that it is just Cyanogenmod's laggy feedback, or something like that. And I've tried to match it soo many times. In CM7, adding more levels ("steps in the sequence") make it even worse as you can actually feel each separate vibration.

But ya try it out the first one is the one I changed press the minus button twice and then change it to the number that I have selected if you would like.

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

How can I stop the ROM from automatically downloading my apps. I would rather use TiBu.

I've personally never had this issue, are you using the stock keyboard that comes with the rom ?

I use Swiftkey X, but it will do it with the stock keyboard as well. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the keyboards, since they'll load up predictions for whichever button I press, but it just won't actually type in the field.

Ooo I think I know what you men because I too have had these little annoyances before.... what I did when it started was kill EVERYTHING LOL yes literally kill all of the things... I even killed the keyboard/sms process since that's where it happened most at. After doing that my issue was usually fixed. Also found that I just type too fast sometimes.... it honestly can b a number of things actually, let me know how this works.

Fonts
Does anyone know how to change system fonts for this ROM?
Before flashing this ROM i wanted to know how the battery life is on this?
Compared to other GB ROMs.
I change my fonts through rom toolbox pro

My battery life hasn't been the greatest. about 8 hours with minimal use. Screen was barely on and little texting.

Sucks to hear, i'll hold off for now
I have been getting a little less battery life with ics...but nothing shocking. I get anywhere from 10 to 16 hours...but that is the same I have been getting with gb...even froyo. I do a lot of reading and listening to the radio...and I always have a charger near by for those occasions when the battery gulps instead of sips.
OK, maybe a dumb question. Coming from GB Roms, I am use to "My Files". On this ROM where do I find something that works the same, or what is the format?
