Out as in attainably out? I did a quick kies check and nothing so far - I wonder if this is just prepping for its release tomorrow.

Yeah true, spoke too soon...should appear sometime tomorrow I suppose... Just installed your update about an hour ago and seems fine so far. Thanks for the fix, much appreciated for the time being :)

You know if you have a custom ROM/recovery flashed to the device, there is a big chance that kies will not recognize it as a known device or a device with an available update? I know we had that problem on the SGS4G, captivate and Nitro. I haven't even considered testing the Blaze yet, but I am pretty certain, that conecting to kies with the i577 ROM installed will throw things off when it reads the build.prop. But then again, I could be wrong...lol

To fix/avoid any conflicts, I would stronly urge everyone that decides to update the "official"/kies way to flash back to stock before doing so.

Yeah I tried kies with my phone but it didn't work. Flashing back to stock would mean unrooting it right?

While that one is being fixed....
If you want the stock contacts from that upload here it is: Contacts.apk - 3.22 MB

Just delete the old one out of /system/app and paste this one in there. Make sure permissions are rw-r--r--
Reboot
Enjoy

Also, the radio can be flashed to this ROM.

I have a question, what is the name of the. apk found in system / app that corresponds to Play Store, because there are no vending.apk when I was in my i577 android 2.3 and now I have the 4.0.
and I have had many problems when i have a call or when i call, nothing sounds. Please can someone tell me how to downgrade to Android 2.3, is there some tar or a zip file to flash?
thanks

If you are wanting to upgrade to 4.0.4 gold this thread is very simple and works great. To gain root afterwards flash cwm then suddenly and your golden.

CM9

I install the CM9 and I have had a single problem with the CM9. I get unexpectedly "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." not because I happens, I installed the two kernals that are available have not been successful.
I will install the CM10 and test if the problem persists.
have anyone any idea why this happens?

While someone may notice it, you may want to repost this question elsewhere as this thread is not related to CM9/10.

Help?

Followed instructions exactly, everything worked perfectly, but I noticed an issue. Something that does not not work anymore. Seems that live wallpapers are completely eliminated from the device. There is no option for it, no menu option for it, no wallpaper option for it. Downloading from market place and me installing one from SD card - neither work. I was wondering if it is possible to just get the stock rom deodexed, with nothing else done? I was thinking it may have something to do with the bloatware removed? Not entirely sure, still learning up on Android and working on this stuff. Hope this is not a stupid question... anyways, any assistance would be appreciated. That was the only problem I noticed.

    Hey everybody -

    Seems folks are wanting some sort of cwm recovery flashable twist on the i577 stock ICS rom that was first posted here, but is also discussed here and can be attained in an easy one-click odin fashion from here thanks to thomas.raines. Well, I think I managed to put one together. I don't know if I will tinker on this much, but you never know - I can't stop myself most of the time.

    I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE!

    The process to get here was rather simple (though the updater-script editing was rather annoying). After flashing via thomas.raines's handy dandy odin 1-click tool, I got a system dump. Originally I was just going to open up the system.img.ext4 and get what I needed from there, but I did it this way to figure out some permissions and symlink issues I was having with the updater-script. I then went through and deodexed, debloated, added in busybox, added in SuperSU, and made one small smali hack to Contacts.apk to stop a rather annoying insistence on checking AT&T subscriber crap every time you went into contacts. That's it - so this is not really all that "developed" or anything. All that is contained within the cwm zip is the same stuff that is contained in the one-click - it's just /system and boot.img (kernel) - nothing more (i.e. this does NOT change your modems). That all being said, let me know if things work, or if any oddities come up. Also feel free to comment on how this might improve or if I've gone about anything in a not-so-smart way.

    Usual rules apply - make sure to wipe data/factory reset to avoid issues. Flash in CWM recovery.

    CWM Installation instructions:
    - Backup your current setup/data
    - Download file and place on sdcard
    - Boot into CWM recovery
    - Recommended to wipe data/factory reset in CWM recovery
    - Select and install the .zip you put on your sdcard

    NOTE: MUST place apks in the app folder within the system folder inside the zip file PRIOR to flashing
    NOTE2: This is the same as what is linked in the Tweaked OP here - which is fine. This works on any blaze setup when using cwm recovery.

    Let me know if there are any problems! Also - it seems like general discussion should get pointed to here, as it's all the same thing really (read: I didn't think it warranted a new thread).

    THANKS GO TO -

    j3r3goss - initial letting folks know of i577 possibility and providing a link to a stock tar
    2vivid and afoster1003 - bravely flashing said stock tar
    thomas.raines - making things one-click easy, both to flash the rom and to return to gingerbread; helping with troubleshooting
    2vivid and chjema - testing my attempts
    erikmm - because I can :p
    all of the folks in #teamfah-q
    all of the folks in teamsbrissenmod, as I would know very little and be able to do even less if it weren't for them

    -----------------------------

    ---CHANGELOG---
    Final update - 10/2/12
    - Somewhat fixed camera.apk
    ***** Viewer still appears upside down for rear camera, but all images/videos taken are correct orientation
    - Changed stock boot animation
    - Updated some apks

    Initial Posting - 10/1/12
    - Deodexed
    - Took out lots of what I call bloat
    ***** If I took out something you wanted, use the links in the OP to get it back
    ***** If I left something you didn't want - let me know and I'll think about removing :)
    - Added in SuperSU v0.96 by Chainfire (from here)
    - Added busybox 1.19.4 (CM9)
    - Edited Contacts.apk to avoid AT&T Subscriber checking when entering Contacts
    - Added .bak to PowerOn.ogg in /system/etc/ to eliminate boot sound

    -----------------------------

    NOTES
    Known issues:

    1) Camera is upside-down
    This only affects the rear-facing camera. The recent "fix" does not change the preview/viewer (the "live action" view of what the camera sees), but now all pictures or videos you take will be right-side up - so it's better than nothing I suppose :)

    2) Softkeys/capacitive buttons no longer work
    This seems to happen from time to time (though not very often by any means), in a way/manner that is as of yet predictable. That being said - all three times I have encountered this issue the below process has fixed it (thanks go to j3r3goss for providing the info needed for the solution):
    - Open dialer/phone
    - Type in the following in the dialer
    *#*#2663#*#*
    - Once the last * is entered, a new screen will show that has some information and (more importantly) two buttons. Press the BOTTOM buttom (the one that says "Touch key FW update"). Wait for this to complete (NOTE: This can take a LONG time, and you may have to reboot on your own if it hasn't said its completed its process after 10 or so minutes (my experience - no reasoning or logic behind it really, so be cautious)), then reboot the phone.

    3) No WiFi Calling ability
    Yep. It's an AT&T stock rom, and as they don't have the wifi calling capability, so too does this lack such fun functionality.
