[ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 11.0 Nightly Builds for Samsung Epic 4G - Epic 4G Android Development

CyanogenMod 11.0 is a free, community built distribution of Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.
Code:

* Your warranty is now void.

This is a build of CM11.0 for the Samsung Epic 4G. It may cause all the things in the disclaimer to happen, or steal your girlfriend while you are busy flashing ROMs.
Please submit a patch to our Gerrit instance if you want to help out.
WARNING: If you are any build prior to the 11/12 CM11.0 build, this will wipe your data due to a resizing of the mtd partitions. If you wish to go back to another ROM, you will need to ODIN back to stock. If updating from a build prior to 11/12, it is recommended to format /system, /data, and /cache AFTER making your backup.
Recommended steps before you install:
1. Install AppBak from Market, run it and save a list of all your apps.
2. Install SMS Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your SMS history.
3. Install Call Logs Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your call log history.
4. Boot into CWM recovery. Make a full Backup. You will need this backup later if you decide to go back to your previous ROM and data.
5. It is recommended that you wipe data before installing CM11.0 for the first time.
Additional Disclaimer:
Any bug reports coming from an Unofficial CM11.0 build, or a modified/patched Official CM11.0 build (modem patch, kernels, etc.) should be directed to the originating thread. It is hard enough to provide bug support for the official releases without having to worry about bugs that may have been introduced by outside means. Bug reports are very welcome if you can reproduce them after flashing back to an official, stock build. We do want to be able to fix all the things. Thank you.
**Google Apps are not included in these ROMs. You'll need to install those yourself if you want them.
Nightly Builds

Known Issues:
- 3g data basically works - Although it has the wifi/mobile data toggle bug again. Disable mobile data before turning on wifi for best results. Fixed 12/04
- Stock browser (and anything else using webviews) - Big black boxes. Use another browser temporarily until fixed. Fixed 11/17
- Wimax temporarily disabled
- Current bluetooth behavior untested for improvement.
- Wired headset mic & buttons. (Yeah, Yeah, someday...)
- Probably more.

Potentially Unstable Build - 12/04
Alot more features have been added back in, but I've been experiencing some weirdness especially after a reboot. Certain issues seem to be tied to certain gapps packages. I have not determined the best one to use, but I post this build for those of you who want something more current.
Features (including but not limited to the following, some of which may have already existed in previous builds):
*** I think I have taken even more space from /data to give to /system. Make your backups before flashing ***
- Working data (data toggle shuffle no longer necessary)
- Quick access ribbon
- Quick access panel (with Torch enabled)
- Circle battery
- Lockscreen shortcuts
- Vibrator intensity and capacitive button backlight control
cm-11-20131204-UNOFFICIAL-epicmtd.zip
EDIT:
Stable version
This version uses the boot.img from the 11/17 build (thanks to didhiy for experimenting), therefore it has the same partition layout as the 11/17 build. Should be safe to flash over the 11/17 build, but backups are still always recommended.
cm-11-20131204-UNOFFICIAL-fixed-epicmtd.zip

12/10/2013
- All kernel & device patches included in the latest build have been merged or uploaded to gerrit (to possibly be merged later).
- Additional patches necessary for the build include the following:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55500/
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55109/
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55110/
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55111/
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55512/ (12/11/13) Merged.
- Recommended gapps: http://d-h.st/eWW (12/09).

Actually, it looks like the Wifi / 3G data toggle shuffle bug is back. So as a reminder, if you want to turn on wifi, turn off mobile data first. Otherwise, when you turn off wifi, your 3g data will not reconnect without a reboot.

First! :laugh:
Amazing work bbelos! I will have to give this a try when I get a little free time.

Can you still boot into recovery? Try flashing it again. Sometimes the repartitioning is a little touchy.

Wow, can't believe you have an unofficial officialish version up and running before my GSM Gnex.

Downloading now... Hope it fares well in terms of battery.
P.S. Not even having an unofficial CM11 for Galaxy Nexus is lame!

Well, I just re-tested it. Restored back to cm-10.2 and downloaded the zip from the link. Wipe data/reset and format /system (like the warning recommends), and flashed the zip. It rebooted right away back into recovery (because it had to flash the kernel first). Flashed the zip again, then gapps and then I rebooted with a successful boot-up.
Worst case if you still can't get into recovery, you'll still be able to get into download mode and get restored and try again. There shouldn't have been any way for it to kill the bootloader.

I had to flash gapps a second time (after the included recovery replaced twrp) but so far it works just fine.
ART helps a ton, it's instantly noticeable, but takes up quite a bit of space.
You guys rock.
Still Epic.
Edit: webview/browser seems to be very unstable. half of the surface blacks out and lags the device. this is with both dalvik and ART

first impression, can't install apk from file manager

Anyone else keep getting errors with phone and gapps processes booting up even after wiping data/cache, format /system and wiping dalvik?

Just tested it out. Lags are significantly more obvious than 4.3 and 4.2, but the beauty of KitKat totally overwhelms that. One thing I noticed is that Mass Storage speed is slower than usual.

I can't get gapps to work either. I've tried a few different ones that are supposed to be for 4.4 but all force close and stop the boot process. End up with a black screen and force close pop ups. I'm guessing a compatible gapps isn't available yet or I just haven't been able to find it.

[Discussion][ROM][S4][WIP] CM10 on HTC One S [Nightlies] PLEASE READ FAQ in the OP

(all credit goes to xkonni, intervigil & the others behind CM10!)
FAQ / Q&A​Some known problems/bugs & their (hopefully working) workarounds:​
Note: before complaining, please try a clean (wipe everything at least 3 times) installation first!
& PLEASE READ AT LEAST THE LAST 5 PAGES OF THIS THREAD!
Wi-Fi is not working:
Make sure you flashed the right boot.img with fastboot
if your Wi-Fi Channel is higher than 10, try a lower one
try changing your wifi country code in Settings / Wifi / Menu / Advance to e.g. Europe or US
App-Switch is no longer "Menu" by default:
go to Settings - System - Hardware keys
configure it like you want
Do I need to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot?:
No, if you're using TWRP and are on a Hboot-version lower than 1.13
Yes, if you're using any other recovery (like CWM)
Yes, if you're using TWRP and your ville has the Hboot-version 1.13 or higher
Phone doesn't boot beyond the CM-Bootanimation:
download the boot.img for the build you're running here, or extract it from the .zip you flashed
flash the (right!) boot.img in fastboot
if you erased/deleted cache in fastboot, go into recovery and erase it again
Notification LED's don't work:
go to Settings - Display - Notification Light - Use custom values
Set it (green/red) for every app just like you want it to be
App XY doens't work:
try clearing cache or/and data
try fixing permissions
Massive battery drain & device is getting hot: (should not happen anymore)
enable 2G only
update to the latest radio, fix permissions and clear the caches
try a simple reboot
turn off Google Now & location history (you will still get the answercards when using voice search)
reboot everytime after you are using camera or gallery
turn off/disconnect GPS Services, reboot & keep them unconnected/turned off (thanks to djsubtronic)
[advanced: deactivate gallery & try e.g. Quickpic & ICS Camera (don't forget to reboot after using camera)]
turn off WiFi if you don't need it and you're not connected
adjust the screen-off time & the brightness
recalibrate battery
"SIM Network Unlock PIN" gets asked for: (should not happen anymore)
just hit "Dismiss"
only a handful of ringtones are shown: (should not happen anymore)
download the app zedge
download & set the ringtones you like just as you like
Sound/Music/whatever only plays through the speakers: (should not happen anymore)
unplug your headphones & replug them
download the widget Wired Headphone/Headset Fix
place it on your homescreen & use it

Click to collapse
Please tell me what to add/delete!
hey folks,
I decided (& asked for xkonnis permission) to open a new thread where we can talk about the new features and things that (don't) work yet to keep the original CM10 DEVELOPMENT Thread clean!
Nightlies can be found here:
http://get.cm/?device=ville
[watch out that you DON'T FLASH CM9 OVER CM10!]
please note that atm these builds (& the nightlies!) are not stable, & you should only flash this if you are REALLY comfortable with it.
You should also be experienced in flashing & fastboot, adb & other stuff.
If you aren't then better read, read & read!
Nobody is responsible if this breaks or bricks your phone other than yourself!!!

did you delete everything before restoring? perhaps JB adds things that are not overwritten by an ICS backup?
Tried installing the build with today's date, and it won't boot like everyone else reported.
Going to try yesterday's build and see if there's a difference. Will post another update with the results.
---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------
Got yesterday's build to boot.
No data or other radios (of course).
Most other things seemed to work. Butter is very nice and I love that lockscreen.
The auto-re sizing widgets didn't work, that is: When you try to put a widget on a page that has some space, but not enough for the widget in it's native form, it didn't re-size automatically.
--------UPDATE--------
Installed today's build over yesterday's and wiped cache/dalvik and it boots and it looks like I have a cell signal! I'll report back shortly!
Also meant to add, I am using TWRP and did NOT flash a boot image.
Will make this a rolling update as I'm still playing around. Will try installing today's build on top of this to see if that's successful.

Able to boot.
What works for me:
SD Mount Works
Data Works
Installed Gapps package from here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/aosp-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-rom-nexus-s-guide/
One issue I had was, after installing today's build for the first time over yesterday's, it got stuck on the "Android is upgrading..." screen. Had to go back into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik for it to behave. Same thing after installing the Gapps package. Then it booted after a few minutes (first boot might take a while.
Still playing around, will report more successes/failures in a bit.
Flashing the latest zip
Mine gets stuck on boot animation then it just freezes.
I wiped cache n dav and got to android is upgrading but then it gets stuck at 'android is starting'
Any help?
I guess I'll try yesterday's n then flash over

Try flashing, the one from the 17th first, boot up, then go back into recovery and flash the one from the 18th right over it (don't wipe anything). It should boot after that but will definitely take several minutes.
---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------
I ran this only for short while but here's what I've found:
WORKING:
Data
Gapps from here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/aosp-c...nexus-s-guide/
Linking to Google account
GMail
SD Mount Works
NOT WORKING:
After using a bit phone started lagging, got force closes on various things
Phone does not work, can't make calls. Phone rings if you call it but freezes and phone app crashes if you try to answer.
Other issues:
1. After installing today's build for the first time over yesterday's, it got stuck on the "Android is upgrading..." screen. Had to go back into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik for it to behave. Same thing after installing the Gapps package. Then it booted after a few minutes (first boot might take a while.
2. The auto-re sizing widgets didn't work, that is: When you try to put a widget on a page that has some space, but not enough for the widget in it's native form, it didn't re-size automatically.
3. After trying to install 1 more app (Camera360 for fun)then the screen went black and wouldn't turn back on. Tried wiping caches and rebooting, but it hung on boot again.
INFO:
Also, I am using TWRP and did NOT flash a boot image.
Had to go back to ICS for now since I'll be running around this afternoon. Will keep playing with subsequent builds though. Seems like we're getting close! These devs are awesome!

Couldn't find it on CM10 but it's possible I just missed it (since I wasn't really looking for it).
BiteBlaze's ROM has it though.
Not sure if you're aware, but you can get a somewhat function versions of Google Now running on ICS (I've had to work on TrickDroid, CM9 and Liquid ICS so far) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045 Voice search does not work yet, just cards, but they're pretty cool.

That's great I appreciate the work! However, after reflashing stock boot and recovery (I have two Nandroids already, one with aarrrrggghs kernel and one with shabby's kernel) and installing the update, I can't seem to get the darn system to boot after flashing the updated deodexed system. I have yet a few more things to try, so I will post an update as well. As far as testing all of this along with your mod zips, I am a willing volunteer! Send me whatever you come up with, I'll run the bugger without fear!
Peace,

---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------
Perhaps I should've been more specific:
fastboot flash boot boot.img (taken from shabby's stock files)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
voodoo ota rootkeeper protect then unroot
download update
installed
reflashed TWRP and made another Nandroid of updated stock system
...now here's where I get confused on the wipe before install...
do I just wipe cache/dalvik? or those two with factory reset? or a full system wipe?
that last one doesn't make much sense, but in science you analyze all steps, eliminating them, and whatever is left, however improbable, must be the way yadda yadda.
thanx again

Wipe Dalvik should be onlything you have todo when flashing unless someones mods say todo otherwise. also heads up i think Shabbys kernel is just stock no changes to it except he added P's and Q's for the description
Huh...because once I flashed shabby's p & q wifi was completely blacked out...interesting tho. And I did figure it out and am fully DeOdexed with the power boot menu...just used the XDA assistant widget to replace (loosely) the toggles, and I have several widgets that display battery %. I am patient.

Did you flash shabby's kernel on the update? Because both shabby's and arrrghhh's kernels work with the original software version (77.6.36.XT897.Sprint.en.US) only. Modules have been changed in the update and wifi breaks every time.
Yeah..that's where I goofed. Using kernel builds for a completely different software file system/build. I didn't realize at the time that they are software specific.

Whenever I attempt to wipe dalvik cache, I always get this error:
E:unknown volume for path [sd-ext]
If you have apps2sd enabled in your rom the /sd-ext partition holds a separate dalvik cache from internal memory. Because of the way the sd card is mounted, there's no method of mounting an ext partition at this time but TWRP still looks for it when wiping dalvik cache. Its just the way the recovery's wired, but everything's fine.
Thanks ranger by I have been annoyed for the last 3 weeks about the update by moto

Make a nandroid before using
this is for Software Version 77.8.10.XT897.Sprint.en.US
you can check your version Settings > About Phone > SW version
Nothing has been stripped out or changed, this is completely stock.
To be clear it is NOT a full ROM and will replace your
/system/app
/system/framework
folders completely.
If you have added anything to these directories it will be removed.
I added Superuser to system/app is the only modification.
Again make a nandroid before flashing

I am not able to just wipe the dalvik, but I end up factory reset and it works. I have alot of info on my current backup, and I wonder how do you keep the info and still install this update?

this shouldnt wipe any user data or play store installed apps just make a backup apply it and if anythings missing go back to your backup you just made
Dalvik & cache wipe was all I did, worked like a charm. Also I wanted to point out that the updated power boot menu works flawlessly.
AND I was able to mod my 3G/4G status bar icons using ROM Toolbox Pro. However for some reason that's the only ones it will do, all the other icons it will either run & tell me to reboot then no changes or run the innstall operation for literally over 20 minutes and I have to force-kill the app. I have emailed the dev team about that including a spec report on our phone. Have yet to hear anything back when I do will update again.
P.S. I changed the 3/4G icons to the Droid 4 style where it shows LTE next to the 4G.

Curious... will this fix all the random glitches the update caused?
Also just to be clear... i just install via cwm, wipe cache and devlik and i'm good?
Its late at night and i am probably over thinking things

[OFFICIAL]CM10.1.3 Release for D2VZW GSIII (OP updated 9/24/13)

Post development questions/logcats etc here. Post "my data doesn't work" (after reading the OP) in the Q&A thread. The mods don't like the developers thread being filled with these user questions, and it's contrary to the goal of this board.
Read this post from our very helpful moderator if you still have any questions. I'll keep both OPs updated. I try to install every nightly and read all of the 10.1 threads. If anything is missing please PM me.

10.1.3 has been released.

CyanogenMod 10.1.0 Release
Tonight we are ending the Release Candidate phase and pushing CM 10.1.0 to general release.
The files will be landing on our servers as they complete the build process. The list of devices will be in line with the devices that have received release candidates to-date. At this time, we do not plan on incorporating devices that did not receive a RC into this release. Also absent from this release are Tegra 2 powered devices and many of the Exynos based Samsung devices. We will provide a status report for these devices later this week.
Next on deck
With the 10.1.0 code finalized, we will return to our M-release cycle and work towards adding additional functionality and features; including the new Privacy Guard feature, which was merged into the nightlies today.
There are many new and exciting things planned for the remainder of the year, just wait and see what we will do next!

On the 10.1.3 RC: (updated 7/18)
1: Only use the MF1 AIO file available here.
2: If you cycle bluetooth off and on it may get stuck. You need to reboot to resolve the issue.
3: Verizon FIOS app crashes
4: BT headsets don't work with the Skype app
5: If you set up a phone number to include pauses (like your voicemail PIN) the keypad wont register any other touches during that call.
Many other problems are fixed by simply re-flashing the same rom file over itself.
Please PM repeatable issues from the release to me. Post a logcat in the developer thread or a JIRA ticket if you expect it to get fixed.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ SPECIAL NOTES -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
1. To enable Developer Options: Menu > Settings > About Phone. Tap build number 7 times to unlock Developer Options
2. Photosphere: This feature is not offered on non-nexus devices
3. There are a lot of questions about how CM10.1 moves your files to sdcard/0/ folder. This is to support multi-users. If you flash back and forth between a non-4.2 ROM and CM10.1 (which is 4.2) you'll end up with sdcard/0/0/..etc since the upgrade to 10.1 moves your folders into a new /0/. You can safely move your files out of /0/ back to your sdcard if you're on CM10, or back to the first /0 folder if you're on CM10.1.
4. Don't update from CM10 to CM10.1 using the built-in cmupdater. Update in recovery for the first flash from CM10 to 10.1. Once on 10.1 you can use cmupdater.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ INSTALLATION NOTES -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
CM can be flashed using CWM or TWRP. Only use the latest TWRP or CWM!
When you install CM10.1 your data will be moved to a new folder /0/ (this is to support multi-users).
Make sure you have the latest CWM or TWRP installed so that your recovery isn't confused by the new location of your backups. Official TWRP d2vzw or Latest CWM (scroll down to Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon))
GAPPS is not included in any CM download. You must flash a gapps zip if coming from another rom or when starting with a clean install. You do not need to flash gapps when 'dirty flashing' over a previous CM install. Download gapps here.
According to Cyanogen it is possible to flash CM10.1 over top of an existing CM10 installation. It is generally recommended to do a clean install if you run into any issues.
Always make a backup before you try a dirty flash or upgrade to CM10.1.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ HOW TO INSTALL OVER CM10 -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Consider backing up your IMEI if you haven't already (link)
If you use a lockscreen pattern disable it

I Fixing Data
If you flashed a CM10.1 nightly and are stuck at roaming/activating or don't have data, try any of the following (in order of simplicity):
(1) Go into Mobile Settings - Mobile Networks. Change CDMA mode to RUIM, go into airplane mode, come out, it should login to 4g in a minute. You can wait for activating to time out then skip or not install gapps until after setting the correct mobile network setting.

(2) Power down. Take out the sim card and reboot. In mobile network settings set roaming to auto and the subscription to RUIM/SIM, turn off the phone, pop the sim card back in, boot up.

Fixing GPS
invisiblek said:
GPS - it HAS been working for 98% of builds, however if you cannot get GPS to connect, possibly due to dirty flashing, the following has worked every build for me: Settings - Apps - downloaded - GPS Status - clear cache, clear data, force stop. Then open gps status back up, let it sit with gps on for a moment and see if it starts searching for signal again....if this still doesn't work (sometimes) - settings - apps - all - google services framework - clear data. This has worked 100% of the time but I try to avoid it because if you do this, you need to go open back up the play store and see if it still connects. If not, recovery - clear cache, clear dalvik usually takes care of that.
Clean install of builds has given me 100% functional gps every time.

Strange they would leave out the commits for data, but I will flash as soon as there is a build with them
after flashing 10.1, how did you guys find your previous backup?
I can't seem to find it because now 10.1 is trying to use my external sd to save everything, and i cannot locate my previous back up anywhere.

For some reason it nested your old internal SD card. Check inside a folder labeled as "0" then CMUpdater if that is what you downloaded it through.
On another note. Is anyone planning on making a build with the data commits yet today? Or are they slated to be included in the next nightly? The disclusion of the data severely through me off this morning.
This might sound stupid however, would it be possible to get a list of additional features that are added with 10.1 the only thing i know that is different is the quick settings menu. other than that, i am not certain what is new with this version.

Here is the clock fix.
The single application known not to work is the Clock: Our changes to 4.1's clock to add the Stopwatch and Timer in CM10 aren't compatible with Google's own implementation of those features in 4.2 (which we're using in cm10.1); If your clock starts crashing after upgrading to 10.1, simply go into the Settings -> Apps menu, choose Clock from the All tab, and hit "Clear data".

A few important notes from cyanogen:
# Do not use the CyanogenMod Updater to go from 10.0 to 10.1. While you will have a functional rom, due to the 1st bullet point, you will be left without your proprietary applications and their data. We highly suggest performing the initial install manually via recovery (flashing CM and your addons). Once you are on 10.1, you can use the CM Updater as per normal.
# Finally, we always advise that you create a backup before any update. Do note, however, that due to Android 4.2 changes to support multi-user mode, your backups will automatically be transferred to /sdcard/0/[backup folder]. Remember this when attempting to restore 10.0.
On the nexus 7 boards I heard TWRP has been updated to see this. Not sure if that is true or not, not sure if that holds true for CWM, or for any recovery on the d2vzw.
However you can use a file explorer app to move them back to the root of the sd card.

TWRP has been updated to 2.3.2 (may show up as 2.3.2.3 on your phone) and doesn't have the problem of borking your folders. I've downloaded it (don't remember where, just google it) and it works fine.
also, i'm on 12.18, and do have data, have sent back and forth MMS, downloaded and everything seems find, EXCEPT:
camera works, first time it froze and said couldn't find camera, but rebooted, wiped cache and dalvik and fixed permissions and seems to "work" however, picture quality seems borked a little.
other than that all seems to be working fine.

Going to flash this, love your work on layers. I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy this!
Edit: It booted, with a little bit of nostalgia, lollipop boot animation with a twist. nice! However it went straight into "android is optimizing" even after a clean flash. Will report back after I've played a little.

Did you make sure to wipe your caches? Coming from the factory image, you should mount your system in twrp, wipe it, wipe dalvik and dalik-caches and most likely data
I'm working on fixing the camera, didn't realize it was broken till I took a actual picture (I just loaded it up and checked but didn't take a picture)

As soon as Graphite is stable on stock I'm flashing this bad boy.
Cheers mate.

? Android pay works by cts verification, people are having a hard enough time on even keeping it working on stock with root, it will be a long while till we get it on working on aosp.
Been running it for few hours now, no major bugs so far.
Missing the camera app in the rom tho.
Using snap camera and it is as good as the stock one

I remove old aosp apps since most people replace them with Google apps or equivalent, that includes aosp browser, MMS, and a few others which is pretty standard in aosp ROMs since the apps still look like ics (I kept gallery because quickpic was bought out)

NoobROM 4.4.4 CM/AOSP based KitKat for Blaze 4G

Hello. This is my first ROM, based off of Cyanogenmod. A few Cyanogen features have been removed, and some non-CM features have been added. I am still testing it, but it seems to work fine for my t769.
WILL NOT WORK ON EXHILERATE
If any moderator wants me to remove DL links and close thread, notify me immediately.
This is my personal ROM, I build one after every CM nightly that comes out. I'm just uploading it here/my Dropbox for anyone who wants the same experience.
What exactly have I done?
-UberKernel v1 1.89GHz stock clock
-Removed CM's annoying Statistics and Bug Reports
-Removed stock CM apps
-Added ES File Explorer Free in place of CM File Manager
-Added Kernel Tuner
-Added stock 4.2 AOSP Launcher in place of Trebuchet
-Replaced CM's Torch with the one from CM10 (now has strobe, a useful feature that was removed in KitKat)
-Replaced Browser with AOSP 4.1.2
-Added Anthony Resario's Afterburner theme
-Replaced CM's boot screen with a generic Android boot screen
-Replaced DeskClock with the AOSP equivalent from 4.1.2
-Removed some live wallpapers
-Added Link2SD system app
How to install
1. Make sure you have a recovery installed. If not, I will be uploading an Odin-compatible package in the future. I recommend Philz Touch, although a different CM based recovery will work. Not tested on TWRP, use at your own risk.
2. Make a NANDROID backup.
3. Wipe Data
4. Wipe /sytem
5. Wipe /cahce
6. Factory reset
7. Install ROM
8. Wipe the Dalvik
9. Factory reset
10. Reboot, and keep an eye on it. Apps will prompt for SU on boot.
11. After it's done, reboot and install GApps if you want/need them.
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible if you brick, fry, or otherwise destroy your device as a result of flashing this ROM. I will not claim liability or replace your device. All features included in this ROM are properties of their respective owners, I merely assembled them into one place.
Changelog:
1/10/2016 - First beta/testing release
Planned features:
-Better DSP manager
-New default background
-possible shutdown sequence
-Flash Player support
-maybe 2.0GHz clock rate if it doesn't burn my device
-Tweak battery/4G
-Button light fix
-AOSP KitKat launcher

Whats the battery life on this build??!

I'm behind on a nightly, so not as good as normal. Right now, my Blaze hasn't had its 4 year old battery replaced, but when on standby with WiFi, min/max frequency set to 192/1890MHz and Governor set to Samsung with a ROW I/O scheduler, get about 3 days until it completely dies. The temperature sensor in my battery is shot, so I can't accurately report temperatures until I can find a decent OEM battery replacement. WiFi doesn't work properly, which is a bug in the kernel I have to fix in the updater script. My suggestion (until I fix various things with my ROM) is to download the latest CM nightly, flash UberKernel V1, and use Link2SD to uninstall all of the CM bloatware. If you're feeling adventurous and daring you can flash this and report the results.
Im on Validus by GZRoms 4.4.4 and the thread seams to be closed.... Cant ask questions. I have NO more internal space, with barely any apps installed. It partitioned my internal to have its on storage, built in SD, and my ACTUAL external SD. I cannot figure how to move apps to SD, it will not work, Ive tried the app2sd fixes, ive gone to apps and enabled 'App moving' and rebooted. No dice. Any help?

My battery life is terrible most times on Validus 4.4.4 as well, even with the UBER 4.1 kernel. Thats why i asked you about the battery life on yours cause I need more. Have you used that 4.4.4? That one and yours seem to be the only ones and I need to be able to move apps2sd so I can actually have the apps I want. Literally have only 10 apps installed probably.

Try Link2SD, and try my ROM. I just released a new nightly, the WiFi should work, if not I need to update it again.
Also, the Blaze only comes with 1.4GB of internal storage. I use PA GApps pico, and install anything else I actually use (like maps and Hangouts Dialer). GApps can easily take up massive amounts of space. Battery life has been fixed in my latest nightly. Please try out the ROM and see what it does. You have to do a FULL SYSTEM WIPE, except for EFS and RADIO partitions. I use PhilZ Touch. app2SD is frankly a terrible app in comparison to Link2SD, which is included in my ROM. If you use the SAMSUNG governor and ROW I/O scheduler and the battery life still sucks, get a new battery. If you also constantly have 4G, Wifi, and Bluetooth as well as NFC on, that will definitely drain your battery. Open Battery Stats in Settings and tell me what uses the most battery. Turn your screen brightness all the way down.

Development has been halted as of now because some [email protected] stole my Blaze. I'm saving for a new one but I kinda need the $70 because its part of my food budget.
Every time I try to install setup wizard fails and the phone doesn't fully boot correctly. Any suggestions??

If it's the Cyanogenmod setup wizard, I cannot help, as I said development has been halted until I can get another Blaze.
It if's the Google setup, boot the phone without flashing GApps a few times, finish the CM setup wizard, change a few settings, browse the web. After that then flash GApps and add an account through settings.
Another thing you can try is booting the phone in Safe Mode by holding the Vol+ and Vol- keys during boot.
I can't seem to be able to clear the defaults for Launcher so that I enable a new one. Am I missing something or is it just not possible?

Go to Settings and then go to Home, there you can change what launcher you use.

Use Link2SD to make the launcher you want a system app and then uninstall the one I included. I just bought another Blaze (mine was stolen) so I will resume development as soon as it arrives.
Also, how do you like the ROM? Does everything function properly?
By the way, the thanks button is right at the bottom of all of my posts.

Havent used it much, everytime I try and install, I get the error of Setupwizard force close and can never set up the ROM. When is your Blaze arriving? Any chances we will get any new updates or advances? I will try and reinstall today.

I don't know when, probably next week and depending upon where CM source is at in development we might see NoobROM 5.1. I like KitKat better, and this is more of a personal project so it might stay KitKat with 5.1 APIs.
I might just scrap the CM wizard. It's pretty useless and only serves its purpose for new users.

Hey I got it up and running pretty well, couple problems.... battery charged all night over night and my battery will not move past 26%. I dont think this is ROM specific as I was having weird battery issues before. I don't know what to do tho? And I have quite a few Force Closes of apps, including Facebook, and ESPN. They force close regularly and are pretty much unusable. Valadis ROM seemed a lot more stable. I love the link2SD tho it works almost flawless! I can now have my apps back, even tho 1 of 2 internal storage still shows only 20+MB free internal? Why? I have all my apps installed externally. Anyway, if we flash a different kernel, or the one from Valadus ROM, will it break the link2SD feature?? Idk what it is, but that ROM is smoother and less Force Closes. I'll keep running this and look forward to an update!

Slow down, speed racer.
To answer your questions:
Q. What's wrong with my battery?
A. The Blaze is known for battery issues. Go into recovery, wipe everything (SD card, system, dalvik, factory reset, and data+cache), and then flash a new ROM. If your battery issues persist your battery is shot. Order a new one online.
Q. Is your kernel stable?
A. It's as stable as I could get it. If you're having trouble with FCs, reinstall PA GApps 4.4.4.
Q. Will flashing a new kernel break the ROM?
Short answer: Yes.
Long, complicated answer: No.
Q. I have no space left.
A. To free up internal storage, make sure your SD card is at least 16GB, I recommend 32 for this ROM. Install all the apps you want and then get rid of the Play Store. I use Blackmart, and will include it in the next update.
