Yeah, it seems your right. I definitely don't blame you for not wanting to contribute to people that don't appreciate or respect your work and effort. I would have only notified devs, then testers, then everyone else. Some people here don't have an understanding of patience. This thread was intended for development disscussion discussion only. This isn't a place for randoms to annoy the s*** out of the hard working devs asking for "cool phone hacks".

dswaggz, 90 percent of your posts in this dev thread have been nothing more than repeat requests. I don't want to be an enforcer here but rule number five of xda is to post a message only once and wait for a reply. If it's already been said there's no reason to repeat it in multiple posts. The best thing to do is use an RSS Feed program or similar push-sync app. I know Tapatalk has the option of enabling notifications for new posts and messages. Just keep refreshing to check for new updates, don't post if there's no need. That goes for everyone. If anyone can't follow that simple policy please leave now, we don't need anyone slowing us down.

I was going to compile a CyanogenMod binary and possibly upload it publicly depending on how stable it runs, but If people can't appreciate the process of ROM development maybe I should just keep it on my own phone. The difference between everyone's actions here and my own was I decided to be proactive and download the source code and build it myself instead of nagging jocala. If you want the ROM so much read the documentation, get experience, and learn how to make this stuff yourself. If you can't or don't want to do that then you are at the mercy of the devs and should respect them. No one's getting paid for any of this. Custom ROM devs volunteer.

It's a bad idea to push away the exhibit's best dev. If jocala refuses to make any more mods its not like another dev is just gonna show up out of no where and keep on building ROMs. Even if we get CM9 in a completely stable state everyone's still gonna ask for CM10 even though it isn't close to existing yet.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
CM is AOSP-based (very complex code) there's almost no chance of it being able to work. There's a way to have compatibility for CM with both phones.

Basically here's how it works.

arco is porting CM9 to the galaxy w. jocala is changing arco's existing code for the SGW and making it work with the exhibit.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pojo:
I really appreciate the work the developers are doing here for CM9, I would like to help. My background is C++ with limited exposure to Java, I have tweaked roms before but never done a full build. I could help with debugging and testing.

@jocalla : As much as I would love to see CM9 on this device, how is the memory management working out on your build for this phone ? Only that I heard ICS is a fairly heavy user of memory and gpu requirements can be high too..

I can try help with debugging CM9 or I could try to start a CM7 build as a contingency, has anybody been working on CM7 for this phone ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Irate Iguana:
God damn it.

I just told you a few hours ago to please stop spamming everything in sight. There are other things you can do in life than constantly refreshing the page every three seconds to see what you can spam about next. I know everyone is thinking it, but no one wants to say it. You are extremely annoying. It wouldn't be so bad if you just would stop abusing the "Submit Reply" button. Then I might be able to tolerate your incoherent messages every now and then, but when I see "Plz maek diz R0m D3vz hurri up iz der gon be a b3ta? Watz tha ETA? War did bpur go? HEY DEVZ C@N U PORNT DIZ THANG DATZ NOT EVN UZABLE ON R PH0NZ?" every other God damn message it makes me want to beat baby pandas. And I ****ing love pandas. So please. Close out of Tapatalk, pull out your phone's battery, and go for a walk outside. Trust me, you'll enjoy the fresh air.

To keep this on topic, will I need a Linux environment setup if I want to modify anything or build a ROM(not an invitation dswaggz)? And if I do will a virtual machine suffice?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] samusishere:
My JESUS you are annoying..

I can't even stand trying to read every single post you make because of your kindergarten grammar. Grow up. If you want a rom so bad then make one. Ever hear that saying if you want something done right do it yourself? Well effin do it and stop pestering and shooting away the one of the best developers for this phone.

God. someone needs too ban you so people can get back too work and we as supporters can help the best we can without a bunch of spam.

Take your time Jocala

I know I appreciate your work especially the cwm5504 odin and the ancora ops that saved my phone the other day. I thought it was bricked for sure. Now it's running great with peach 1.2 and kernel. THANKS!!! Take your time with your work because I know good things take time to acheive good results. Don't rush anything you put out there. I want to see cm9 and overclocking myself for this phone like everybody else but I will just sit back and relax until it happens.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
ok glad I sleep through most of this now back to DEV!

I know many wonder if CM9 will run on the Exhibit and answer is yes probaly better than GB. I have an old Verizon Galaxy 7" Tab that Team Kang has build AOKP for and the specs are no better than the Exhibit. Let me tell you it runs amazing! AOKP is a mix of CM9 and AOSP and is out for a flurry of devices not just the GNex. Anyone interested can take a look here this is development of ICS that is exciting seeing the Kang device after device and the Exhibit will be next.

Little in-depth information about Android and why people develop! Must Read. Thank You Pirateghost.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:

for the beats audio do we have to clear any cache or anything? and also i know this is kind of random but if someone could tell me that would be great but i know for the galaxy sII beast mod the lockscreen is completely transparent and so when you are in the lockscreen you can see through it and look at whatever app you were in before you pressed the power button. is there anyway i could put that into the exhibit II running rebel rom. or could someone maybe do it? ive tried researching how i could get it or whatever but im not so good haha. if some one could reply if it is possible that would be great thanks

After installation it said it was successful, I played a couple songs, I THINK it sounds better, but it could be completely in my head, since I have no way of turning it on and off to compare the sounds.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
Congrates I knew you could get it to work before you tossed the phone at the wall LOL
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
But I thought that was part of the development process?

Out of curiosity, if I just want to edit a ROM I don't really need to have a Linux environment if I'm not doing kernel mods or anything like that right?

I use windows 7. APK manager, smali/baksmali, Cygwin for Dsixda Kitchen, and UOT for themes,icon,fonts

I'm a little confused about your superwipe script, you keep saying to backup to my external SD card, so I'm thinking that your script wipes the internal SD card. What does it do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
Yep wipes system, data, cache, and internal sdcard. You can save that data too. But this gives you a clean phone like Odin

im pretty interested in learning the rom ropes.... any advice for starting? cause im lost. :]

come back jocala <3
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
The quickest way to start is by modifying a ClockworkMod-based ROM. Once you unzip it, you'll have a /system partition to play around with. That's an easy way to start.

I also suggest you install a Linux partition (use free vmware player and an Ubuntu image).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] imhumanoid:
As in installing ubuntu along side win7?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
The easy way is to download vmware player and a linux image. You can run that on top of windows...so it's actually like any other program you just run. It's free too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] imhumanoid:
like a virtual machine?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Exactly.

ClockworkMod

I've uploaded a seriously better CWM for our device, compiled from current source. It still identifies as 5.5.0.4.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21183029&postcount=2

Much better backup/restore and it works great with the Exhibit's external SD. This can be applied to any ROM via standard recovery, console or your current CWM. (Its menu says "internal sd" when it means "external sd". I'm aware of this. It may be an artifact of my current build setup)

3.7 you can load the new once jocala fixes it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
3.7 is without the new confusing cwm. 3.5 has the new cwm. just get 3.7 if you already have cwm5504.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
You know, there is nothing wrong with the new cwm, other than a menu label. It is not unstable and it has increased functionality over the previous release. Use it or not, whatever. It's not a big priority on my list of things to fix.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
I felt that my backup went faster on the new recovery. It did have trouble reading my external card after I pulled it out and put it back in though. A recovery reboot fixed it.

Can someone help me. I recently bought a exhibit 2 4g . When I try to use a t mobile sim card I get no service. No network connectivity. I cent call or make/receive texts but there is a voicemail notification. When I use a ATT sim card everything works perfectly even 3g when I add correct APN!!

Why is a T-Mobile sim not working? I am thinking someone must of been trying to unlock by editing NV_data. What is the proper way to lock the phone back to T Mobile? Anyone have a stock NV Data I can use to do this?

Thanks to anyone that helps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] afwolfpacked:
sim card

Not an expert but have you activated the sim card in with T mobile network as it registers the phone to the card.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] astaccz:
Yes the sim card is activated and registered. I am using the Optimus T right now and everything works fine. When I put the sim in the Exhibit 2 it says no network but it says I have a voicemail. I dont get it. Cant make calls or texts.

Then I use my brothers ATT sim card and put it into the Exhibit 2. It registers to the network and when you input the ATT APN, you get 3G. Calls and texts work. Its really confusing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SurgeRush:
Ok, I have a question... If I was to flash one of the roms, how easy is it to switch back and forth and how exactly do you go about doing this? Is it just as simple as making a nandroid with CWM and restoring it? Also, exactly how much does the nandroid save?

I would really like to give CM9 a try, since the main things on it work. I have CWM installed already. I know the other roms are more stable, but they don't really do anything for me.

I am a noob when it comes to roms, I've tried searching and figuring this all out on my own, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I'd like to know.

Thanks for any responses in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
I keep stock, peach and CM9 as nandroid backups and switch between them. CWM backups are:

boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SurgeRush:
Does it backup apps and settings and all that? I have all my apps backed up with titanium backup, but do I have to restore them all every time and change my settings back?

Sorry for the stupid questions. I would like to help with cm9 any way I can though.

Should be my last question before I give it a try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
It's a full backup. For me everything is restored as it was. For you, ymmv :)
