Comparison - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Thinking about switching from the mytouch 4g. Good idea?

Very much.
Blaze is easier all around dev-wise cause it comes with an unlocked bootloader & great devs in the community.

Any ics spin offs don't have SoD's if not try dr4stic 's cm10 as he is the only fixing issue to the kernel and upstreaming them his cm10 might be the most stable rom jellybean wise

Tweaked 2.1 my daily driver. Big ups to Dwitherell, and really everyother dev in these forums without them i'd still have a stock bloated pos.

For myself CM 10 it is very stable I myself have had no SoD's and nothing major or no "bugs" that bother me. Dr4stic has done a great job and with new nightly's coming practically every night we might have a stable CM 10 very soon. Sum it up yes switchmy opinion lol.... and Erikmm is also very helpful in our little community.... just the truth people. Hope you make the right choice... what is he other option if you don't mind me asking? :highfive:

I'm actually getting the blaze today. On the mytouch I was just sticking with gingerbread cause jelly bean and even ics would have to many bugs or just not be quick and smooth enough to make the transition out of gingerbread worth it. I'm really hoping to at least find a smooth ics Rom on this phone with no bugs

If you want a stable cm10... well its right around the corner. Been testing 2 kernels for dr4stic, and both are rock solid. No sods NOTHING. Can't imagine it getting much better than this. You'll have a vast selection to choose from when you decide what's best for you. If you find something you like don't hesitate to hit thx or donate to any of these great devs. Let's keep this community strong by showing these devs how much their truly appreciated. Cheers to all

No worries. ICS is no JB that's for sure, and truth be told ALL the awesome options available to the Blaze should be tried out! That's the great thing about having such options - you can start choosing based on preferences as opposed to basic functionality. I'm a smali hack at best - I would consider the other tinkerers for the Blaze to be far more qualified of a "developer" title than I really - so folks should really make sure to test the various waters as you never know what you might be missing!

Smali hacking isn't easy lol. I've learned a lot from you dwitherell

Well single core to dual core, NFC, slightly larger screen, 4g 42mbps, larger capacity battery, and adreno 220 are things that I would consider better. At my dad's house near Minneapolis I can pull 20+mpbs on 4g...
But at the end of the day, you still are running android and that's not going to change much... and if you liked sense than you will likely not like TW. No guarantee that you also wouldn't like aosp either (my wife doesn't - she prefers sense). My wife has a sensation 4g and I see a major difference between her phone and my blaze. I prefer the blaze, because of those features listed (and access to the sd card without having to dissemble the phone to get to it) and I prefer TW (using TW5 launcher) to any sense rom. Sense just seems bloated to me and the Blaze just seems to be more responsive.
But hey, they're just phones and everyone is entitled to their own opinions and can like whatever they choose to like

I'm actually running CM7 on my Mytouch 4G. I agree with you on sense feeling bloated. As far as the screen size, when I put the phones next to each other you really can't notice an increase in size.

Cm7 is fast and quite customizable.
Myt4g on pacquiao type roids.miui.panache.
My old Desire with CM7 on it has never been so fast! It's a really nice modified rom that's fast and doesn't have all the Sense bloatware on it.
That being said, I like Sense. And I'm happy with my Sensation now . But I might give CM7 a try just for kicks.
It's vanilla Android with small tweaks that make it great. You have a small ROM that is fast and made by a team of awesome coders.
CM goes way back with the first google phone. So allot of people know it.

I had an Eris before my current DInc2 and cm is crap for both. They have little to NO support for my phone and every time I run their ROM it fails as bad if not worse than the half assed alphas put there. Sure it has cool customization choices, but on my DInc2 it is worthless in my opinion until it is fully functional.
I (and you) should never settle for less than fully functional for something so "popular"

The one good thing to come from CM7 is MIUI - which I'm quite looking forward to trying (although I probably go back to Sense)
Personally I am more of a fan of the CM7 based ROMs that come after. Each developer gets a chance to put there own unique touch to the cm7 based ROMs. I remember from the nexus one days after cm dropped the ROMS came flying in with everyone's personal touch. The CM7 code provides a rock solid base with all features working.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it runs on the myTouch 4G. (Just got mine back from HTC yesterday after a warranty repair. They replaced my good LCD with the bad one =( ... but all is working as it should again!) You guys think we'd get anything official? If not, CM (among others) will bring it to us, right?I bet it'll be real nice. Did they announce minimum specs to have ICS?
I personally love the looks of the UI. I especially like the widget management and if I remember correctly, I believe I heard there will be a native screen capture function (AT LAST!). Outside of those things and the hardware acceleration mentioned above, I don't know a whole lot about ICS, so I'll be following this thread pretty closely.

I agree. From what I have seen in the videos, I think I like sense 3.0/3.5 UI more than ICS UI. HTC might make sense even better with ICS. I would definitely wait for ICS based sense ui.
Do you think that there will be an update to ICS for the MT4G? It looks pretty cool, but even if there is a custom rom with it, I can't get it because I have a bad EMMC chip.

Depends on taste......CM7 i think has better performance, but Miui is the must have anyone that loves to customize there phone. it lets you change everything piece by piece but it has no app drawer unless you use a launcher to get it back otherwise all your apps will just be on the front pages.
there both great, but cm7 still has my vote on sheer smoothness and tweaks. but again i loved "ee"'s themes for Miui so who knows

It is very "iPhonish" when you first use MIUI; throw a lancher on it, though, and it's back to business as usual. Very slick, very smooth, very customizable (if that's a word). Oh, and it's based on CM 7.1 sources. I've tried all sorts of ROMs on my Inspire, but I always end up going back to MIUI, it's just too damn nice. Getting a SR soon, and I'd love to see a MIUI build for it.

I agree with this. Almost every aspect of MIUI is iPhone ripped. Throwing a launcher over top of it kind defeats the purpose of MIUI (IMHO).
I have used MIUI and it had horrible battery life, right up there with CM7. Personally I would never use MIUI or CM7 ever again (on one of my phones).
That being said
I have MIUI on my daughters phone because she loves the iPhone and since I am giving her my Captivate for Christmas and she really wants an iPhone, I decided to put MIUI on it to ease the pain. LOL
agreed,
women seem to love miui though......hence why i am trying to put it on my old cappy to give to my GF.
but am having issues with the drivers.
i dont mind CM7, with the right kernel the battery drain is not that bad......but yes it can get annoying to have plug your up to the wall every couple hours as a preemptive strike on your phone dying.

most stable rom.

hey all, looking to flash the most stable rom for the inspire out there! anyone wanna give me a few good stable roms?
Anything gingerbread is rock solid. ClearDroid and Virtuous Unity are my favorite for Sense and Gingerbeast and Absolution rock if you want to be senseless. The ICS roms are stable enough for daily use but might have small issues that keep them from being the right choice for you. Personally, I love Redemption but there are others that have more active development. I haz not tried jellybean but I would guess that is the same or worse when compared to ICS. You will have to try some out and see what works best for you.

Anything based on stock will be the most stable. 2.47.502.7 and 3.20.502.52. Att just released the last base with sense 3.0. I'm on blackout Ics right now and really am enjoying it. It is sense and Ics. But as always try them out and see what you like. No single rom is for everyone.

Not necessarily, his phone is the same model, but they aren't the same exact device. Also, that isn't necessarily true, at&t's last update was completely broken and unstable. Any rom in the section was made to work with our phone and can run it just as good as an at&t built rom. Most times better.

I agree that 2.47.502.7 was buggy and I did not like it even when devs re cooked it. As for the last update 3.20.502.52 or even the original Rom they ran flawlessly. And to use roms with these bases was really all I was saying to him. Just stick to roms built off of these for the most stable experience. I've spent quite amount of time unrooted and also running every Rom you could possibly flash on this device and when I am on an actual inspire base every part of the phone runs the way it should ( with the exception of 2.47.502.7). I think we agree, I just meant roms based off stock, not necessarily stock itself.
As for what Rom to run that differs all together. I'm on an Ics sense Rom that was never intended for our device but I'm willing to live with a little instability for more options and Ics

Stable roms = Gingerbread
Small issue roms = ICS and JellyBean
Is all you need to know. We can use DHD roms on our Inspires if you want to take look at that forum as well.
You will have to test a rom out for yourself cause what may be awesome to one person may be utter crap to others its yp to your preference.

Yes I agree. Gingerbread is most stable. Some dhd base though have minor issues like agps not updating accurately, scanner apps not reading barcodes, battery drain, intermittent WiFi/data issues, Sound problems.. etc. Nothing major though. My favorite dhd base was the sense 3.0 update they got. Runs the smoothest imo. Sense 3.5 and up gets a little clunky.

Yeah I really do like 3.5. The options are definitely worth it. I used to be on bindroid team and we had it running pretty good. I haven't tried any gb based ones recently I bet they got em running pretty smooth now.

As stated before, Gingerbread ROMs are generally more stable than ICS ROMs. That said, my favorite is Primo-S v3.5. Its ICS + Sense 4.0A. Its not the most stable mod out there, but extremely stable, enough t be used as a daily driver. The most stable I've tried is of course Cyanogenmod 7. Second is Android Revolution HD.

If you have money to buy a new one whithout selling Nexus S, keep it, it's a good phone, develpoment dosent seam to be stoping anytime soon. I could upgrade now if I sell mine but I prefere to wait and upgrade whithout selling it

Crespo is the name codename of Nexus S, Avatar is cool for costumisation but not that god with performance, search for HellyBean roms or Slim Bean roms, they have the best balance between features and performance (Helly Bean has some glitches that the creator will fix in 1-2 weeks, depending on how long his vacation is)

Keep it. This is my 3rd Nexus S 4G. I just seem to cant get rid of it.
Keep it, if the hw is enough for your needs.
I installed this 4.3 ROM, very stable, have used it for 3-4 weeks now.
Have tried different 4.3 roms but all others have had problems with the camera and other stuff.
Try it:

It's old by phone standards, but it's a good audio player compared to much newer ones,and because of google's suport of it untill 4.1 the roms that have later versions of JellyBean still work preety smooth. If you have money then buy a new phone but the man that started this thread vas asking us if it's still a good phone and it is, now if you compare it to the note 2, nexus 4 and phones like this well then it's not case it's 2 generations behind them, but it's still the best single core out there

Keep it, I'm new to android phones and I just got this phone, Nexus S and I'm very satisfied with it. Though at first I've had a problem with the battery life, I've managed to come along to having a stable one which is fixed with installing the latest version of CM and voila, everything for me is smooth... not much of a bug I guess.
BTW, I have a CM 10.2 Nightly ROM.

Uuuups sorry, just that now I realise that youe nick is pitbullmommy, for some reason I read pitbullmoney sorry
I was thinking of upgrading to a Nexus 4 since my Nexus S was running real slow, but after discovering the Hellybean ROM, it has brought new life to my phone and I think I'll hang on to it for quite some time to come! Like an earlier poster mentioned, the latest 4.3 release needs some major fixing, but version 4.2 works great!
