I'm blind... thank you

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

Ok - I added it to the wiki. I'm no expert on wiki etiquette, so forgive me if I was off anywhere.

To the real devs running this thread, please feel free to trash it, change it, whatever. I'm just a layman who knows enough to be dangerous, and I keep seeing people ask about how to restore this phone to stock, and wanted that more accessible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
If ppl would read instead of just coming in and screaming "noob here!! Help me!!" They would see that in section 5 of the OP(Original Post) there is a "Returning to stock" post...

Forgive me, but you can only make things so easy for people.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
I agree, but the link for the file in that thread is dead, and for someone new to using Odin and all that, the instructions were a bit thin. Like I said, I don't care if someone trashes the back to stock section in the wiki, just wanted to try and help a bit, no offense taken either way! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
I think this happens even for devices with their own forum with stickies so the only think we can do is have clear and regularly up to date 1st post and wiki so we can reduce this kind of requests (let's face it, it will never go to 0).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
Thx for taking care of the wiki... PM me your instructions and I'll post them in the OP... Busy at work ATM...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
Hmm what kind of work vanillatbone;):) an hi

Peach Sunrise 1.2a

Peach Sunrise 1.2a is available for download HERE. This is a bugfix release, if you are running 1.2, I suggest you upgrade. Also, I've changed hosting providers to dev-host.org. I'm getting 1Mbs+ download speeds, from them. Peach takes about three minutes to download!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
Good for you. If you need help they are very friendly on the orchestra
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
I haven't gotten around to flashing any roms yet - what bugs did it patch up from the first version?

I hope the few devs we have working on this phone stick around for awhile... it's a solid little device that will hopefully garner more attention in the future - even if it's not a "super phone".

Thanks to you jocala, and the others (kem, vanilla, wild, sounds, etc.) for the work y'all are doing for those of us that believe a phone shouldn't break our bank and still be very functional!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
I discovered them downloading XquiziT, so thanks to you for the find. Here's hoping QoS stays the same!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
Should they just did upgrades and still tweaking. Have a suggestion irc them
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
...And that's my hint to add more to the Troubleshooting section of my site. Currently I only have a good guide for verifying and fixing APN Settings (for MMS/Mobile Internet)

Well, be more specific about whatever is wrong with the phone. Does it lag? Freeze up? Force close? Reboots? What exactly? These are smartphones. They run Android. The rule of thumb is there's million different things that can go wrong especially when running a custom OS like all of us are.

What exactly goes wrong on the phone?

What happens whenever you have a problem with the phone?

What mods are in use on the phone (ALL OF THEM) like: overclock, ROM, kernel, theme, scripts, memory/preformance tweaks, etc.

When anyone on any device reports an issue/bug they need to be as specific as possible in their report to help resolve the issue. Try to follow something along the lines of that CM issue tracker (which I won't post a link to that to avoid confusion). On xda, the more organized everything is the faster things can be accomplished and progress can be made.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
Well 1st I was on stocc w/ root runnin v6 I was cool then I dl ps the original everything was cool v6'd again I was straight then I tried a theme an I was cool then **** went haywire so I tried clearing everything via cwm it was OK then out of nowhere bootloop so I managed to recover long enuff to load rebel 2.1 tried v6'n again no good wouldn't sc so I said f it an started using ram manager pro an memory booster pro my **** was cool then it went haywire again so I flashed bacc to ps1.1 I was cool then to ps1.2a which I'm on now tried v6 again my phone finally sc'd but Wi-Fi broke so I figured unsupercharge an reset would fix my issue nope fuccin bootloop again so I reflashed ps1.2a an so far so good but if there is anyway to grab logs I will an wat about cm7or9 or miui are anywhere near close just asking
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
There's a way to log just about every line of execution from the phone. It outputs like 50 lines of code for like one action with the phone. Do you know anything about using adb? I should make a guide for that.

On the miui progress, DarthJonathan is working on getting some of the errors worked out. Meanwhile, my objective is to get that existing SGW build compatible with the exhibit. I though bpear had something that converted SGW builds to exhibit ii builds like how he ported the 2.3.6 rom to our phone and made a way to convert it automatically with other roms, or was that just my imagination? Or if not I could try using that porting system in the dsixda kitchen, it may not work because its experimental.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
He does but ppl are saying it breaks phone an Wi-Fi calling
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Well maybe the phone app can be patched to work somehow. DarthJonathan has made more progress than me with the GT-I8150 SGW miui build. Every time I open up my linux to build it seems like its always a different error (services, systemui, framework, etc.)

Do you know where I can get this converter or should I PM bpear?

I didn't really finish my full post. I'm busy working on guides atm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
You can find it in his thread. Somewhere on his Android file hosting thing also has it. I have it downloaded and could probably attach it to this post. If I can figure out how to do that on my phone.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] SurgeRush:
Has anyone tried one of the mega ram or aggressive options on v6?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
I can't even tell what the difference is. It's all numbers. V6 makes me feel stupid.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SurgeRush:
Lol, I agree for the most part, but I'm assuming the bigger numbers free up more ram than the smaller ones. I just haven't wanted to try any other settings in fear that I can do some kind of damage.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
The only thing I've noticed, using various options on V6 (don't have it loaded now), is that it does practically eliminate homescreen redraws. Other than that, hard to say it had any effect in other areas.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SurgeRush:
Yeah? They didn't even free up more ram?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Flash Memory is the problem.

CWM and Nandroid Backup

I figure this is about as good a place as any to ask this, so here goes...

A buddy of mine has this phone (I have an Infuse) and he is trying his damnedest to get CWM (or rom toolbox that he paid for) to flash the recovery correctly and get a nandroid backup of his phone so he can move on to the bigger and better world of custom roms. However he nor I can find a guide dedicated to this. Can anyone point us in the right direction, write a guide, or something? Sorry if this derails the topic but I really figured the devs of the device would be the best to ask.

Someone please help..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
Ultimatephoneguide.com read the op geez lmao
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
ROM Toolbox is useless for this phone.

http://ultimatephoneguide.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G

Go through "Rooting" --> "Recovery --> "Custom ROM"

That explains everything step by step. Install instructions for the ROMs are at their links.

-Fixed Listing Issue with the ODIN Guide/Updated ODIN download link

-Added jocala's custom kernel to the list of custom kernels
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
Kem was up buddy I feel u on rom toolbox any news on miui I'm so thinking hd2 when I have the money in my best phone out
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
I was able to do quite a bit of tweaking with ROM Toolbox - couldn't flash a recovery.img (didn't try) - but lots of other aesthetic tweaks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
Like?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SurgeRush:
What were you able to do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
Fonts, status bar icons, etc - pretty much could make it look similar to stock ICS just with that app. Just made sure I had a nandroid before I started messing with some of the framework stuff.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
A step by step please
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
I don't mean this rudely, but I don't have the time (at the moment anyway) to do it. I love my kids to death, but the germs they bring into this house... :eek:

But it's pretty straightforward in the app itself - it's all categorized real well. Some of the graphics don't work, sometimes you'll apply something and nothing will change, but a lot of it did work. I would just do a nandroid backup before you touch anything. Then, if you get a few things to change in the framework with no problems, maybe do another one, etc. Can't be too careful!

Cyanogenmod 9 ICS

With arco68's guidance, this weekend I've successfully build CM9 and booted it on the Exhibit II 4G. It's by no means usable, and won't be until I build a suitable kernel and do further testing. I'll be starting on that next week. This may never reach release, but I wanted to let you know that it was being worked on. Wish me luck, and please don't bug me for updates or etas. I'll post more about CM9 when I have more to say.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
Awesome, that's a big foot in the door either way - especially if there's a functional version on the Galaxy W.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
Godspeed bro thanx I wish u the best an u got ah tester here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SurgeRush:
Nice, can't wait, hope it works out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Jocala you never cease to amaze, first at everything. First rule of cm is no etas. I know we'll get a beta build of cm at some point as long as we have capable devs. If cm can be ported to lower end low activity mdpi phones the exhibit can have it too, not saying it will be any easier. It would take anywhere from 6-18 months to get a stable build depending on progress and roadblocks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
That's great news. This weekend I downloaded arco68 kernel sources

and used them to modify the defconfig file. I'm going really slowly (been through around 20% of the file) as I know nothing of this and I'm compiling after each modifications. Anyway just saying thumbs up Jocala. In the unlikely event what I do is useful I'll share it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
Nice work both of you! Long road ahead but let me say I'm loving ICS AOKP on my 7" tab. Its just amazing how well it runs and what the developers can do with it. Go jocala!

Application restore

I am a bit of a noob here, having just transitioned from a Iphone. When upgrading/changing ROM's, can I assume that we lose all of our applications? If so, what is the prevailing method for restoring them? Right now, I can only assume that using batch mode in Titanium Backup would be the easiest way to restore apps. Is that correct? The only problem I see with that, is that I backed up both my market apps and the T-Mobile bloatware to the same place. Would I have to restore all of it, and then selectively remove the bloatware? Thanks for the help,

Mike
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
Titanium will let you exclude things when you restore it all back - you basically uncheck what you don't want it to restore. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mazeeff:
Thanks. I did not realize that TB had that function. That should work fine for me.

USE THIS INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE.

After countless reflash and handful of softbricks, My latest findings are:

1) you can crossflash the Exhibit II with SGW rom - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/821/sc20120219100916.png/

Issues are:

- swapped keys,

- no camera,

- can't enter recovery/download mode with keyboard combo,

- can't enter into service mode and

- no 900/2100MHz 3G !!!

!!! And NO, there is NO overclock, the phone runs on stock 1024Mhz.

SGW owerclock kernels max out at 1400 instead of 1800 on SGW.

Basically everything else works on LA2 roms.

On earlier roms there are some artifacts (flickering screen/washed out screen).

2) the 2.3.6 baseband of the SGW does not work with Exhibit II rom - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/sc20120219093621.png/

It shows baseband unknown.

But 2.3.5 based basebands seem to be compatible http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/sc20120221220007.png/ .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
This is old news. The beta builds of rebel ROM known as icecreambread, were based on the 2.3.6 sgw firmware. The dev was able to switch binaries around to get rid of half of those issues but there were still problems so we went back to the exhibit firmware.

jkernel for rooted roms

I've posted a zip of my kernel and the modules for rooted ROMs. If you want the kernel only, not busybox,su,superuser, this is the archive you need. Right now, it's manual install only, download HERE

The kernel is still rooted, but only at adb level. IOW, adb shell will give you a root prompt.

Sorry if I wasted Your time

I am running the latest stock SGW rom with stock SGW kernel, stock SGW baseband right now.

On GSM it has better signal then ours, less bloatware and the only issues that bother me are the keyswap/camera.

The reason was to make the Exhibit II work on European 3G.

Off course I do know about bperar96's work, have tried all his builds and most of the other devs roms to.

Everybody advised me not to try this, so I thought some people might find it interesting/useful that it works.

For those of you still in search of a good quality app to complement the 100 T-Mobile minutes: I just downloaded the free app Vonage Mobile from the market. It's free to call and receive calls to other vonage customers, AND you get up to 3000 outgoing minutes to cell phones or landlines in the US. I am amazed at the quality of the call... much better than skype (in my house my 4G connection is weak so I don't get as good quality with skype as when I'm in a stronger 4G zone; Vonage sounds great though). Only downfall is you can't receive calls from these cell phones or landlines, only from other vonage customers. Still, though I think it will work for me to return calls with great quality. The search is still on for a way to receive...

Has anyone here gotten Wireless Tether for Root Users to work on the Samsung Exhibit II 4G? I've tried 2.07 and the latest beta 3.1 and neither will work correctly. Both report starting up just fine, but when I try to use my laptop to connect, it won't (it just says connecting forever). I know the laptop isn't the problem, because it can connect to my LG Optimus One and other phones without trouble.

On a related note, has anyone noticed that when you connect to Wifi, it takes forever (up to 5-10 minutes) before the web will start working?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dennis96411:
Use Barnacle Wi-F Tether, it works for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] twarrior:
I am using 2.0.7 just fine. Could not get any beta version to work correctly. They all started up and gave fast access to the internet but the beta versions would not disconnect quickly. I am assuming that you just want a connection and have all settings at default( no access enabled). Were you asked by Superuser to allow Tether root access?

Has anyone successfully ran v6 supercharger on peach sunrise 1.2a an is there any news of miui I know bout cm9 but some variety would be nice any sgw ports cooking anyone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] adv99:
Yes, I was asked to allow root access. Everything about it appears to work fine. But, when I attempt to connect using my laptop, my laptop reports "connecting" forever. Since the laptop can connect just fine to other phones running Wireless Tether, I assume that the problem is with the Exhibit II 4G.

Which ROM are you running on your EII4G? And which version of Android?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Can't you just use the native Android tethering once the tethering manager apk is removed?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] adv99:
Yes, and no. If I remove tetheringmanager2.apk, I can use the native tethering, but I'm unable to make any changes to the default settings. Rather, I can make them, but they are ignored. As a result, I'm running an open Wifi hotspot that anyone can access and my data is unencrypted as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
I see this already been discussed but there's no reason to need extra apps on froyo and above, all the extra apps do is count data usage. There's other apps if that's all you want.

@tmobile said it lost a net 526,000 subscribers in the fourth quarter. Worse, it lost a net 802,000 http://t.co/HzhGJzBl
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
I think it's because dswaggz is from the HTC hd2 and that phone can run like 5 different operating systems and more ROMs than someone could flash in their entire lifetime. The exhibit 2 falls under the category of "legacy or low activity devices" meaning every ROM under the sun isn't gonna just fall from the sky in a week.

On the optimus v we didn't start with much at all. Most of the devs on that phone were inexperienced meaning they weren't master Android devs or anything like that. We were able to port most of the builds over from the sprint optimus the same way ROMs get ported from the sgw to this phone. With help from the community we got some decent, stable cm builds working.

So if anyone wants everything already accomplished save the time and go buy a mytouch, nexus, or one of them fancy galaxy phones. Anyone that's willing to put forth effort or patience will find the path to CM9
