I have found the following bug that exists on the stock ROM, RebelRom, and Peach Sunrise:

Sometimes when using the messaging app I am unable to bring up the keyboard. When I tap the text entry field where is says "tap to enter message" sometimes the keyboard will popup, but other times nothing happens. Usually it takes 5 - 6 taps to get the keyboard up.

Any ideas for a fix??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Can you duplicate this with a different app...handcent for instance?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] creeve4:
I have no issues with 3rd party apps: handcent, champ, go sms, or pansi.

I only experience it with the stock messaging app (or the ICS version in RebelROM).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Looking at stock Mms.apk, I see two references to keyboard in the smali files:

I don't know if this would be a starting point, but perhaps the toggle logic for keyboardHidden is faulty? Too bad you can't reproduce it at will :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] creeve4:
Thanks for the info.

I'll look into it some more and see if I can figure it out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
I see this bug too. What I normally do is go to the homescreen then back into the app. And why is it that on all android phones when you're looking at the conversations and press back it closes the app and you have to open it again to see the list of conversations with different people. Why doesn't it just go back to the list of conversations without having to reopen the app?

I think they figure if you have a rooted device you have the ability to rip DRM protected content, which i don't think is true. It's just Google enforcing the DRM to protect their media.

No, that's something completely different from a completely different thread. Although that fix you're talking about has been released as well this fix removes the sounds and notifications when you connect the charger and when the battery is fully charged.

I'm having a problem getting the ODIN drivers to work.

When I'm in download mode the windows software does not detect the phone. Windows says drivers are not installed "MSM7x30". Windows 7 thinks it's smart so I then see a window that tells me to go to Samsung's website and download these drivers. The problem with that is the setup installer is old, crappy, crashes, doesn't work, etc.

So I tried installing the drivers listed on the OP. The setup installer from that download tells me that Samsung drivers are already installed and need to uninstalled first (error code:16) So I open the control panel to uninstall those.

There's about 4 different sets of Samsung drivers installed named under USB or Modem. When I try uninstalling any of those I get an error message about the drivers were not uninstalled properly and that there are no drivers installed (error code: 12)

So I don't have ODIN drivers installed. The setup that would install them thinks there are existing/conflicting drivers installed. This is some bs honestly. All OEM drivers are garbage. I'm going to try clearing registry entries and force deleting the installers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aznrunner1881:
I had the same problem. Just uninstall them all, restart your computer and install the current drivers

Peach Sunrise v1.2

Peach Sunrise is the first custom ROM for the Samsung Exhibit II. It's Touchwiz-based, deodexed, zipaligned, rooted, very lightly themed and uses a custom kernel. The support files for Carrier IQ have been removed. ClockworkMod and Odin are supported for installation.

ADW Launcher is default. This launcher is highly themable, with many hundreds of themes (including ICS) downloadable from the Market. It also happens to be the default for CyanogenMod, so Peach is in good company :)

Titanium Backup & Quickboot (free versions) are included in the ROM.

The kernel (true of the stock kernel also) is underclock capable, so the Voltage Control app is included. Underclocking may help lengthen your battery life. Overclocking is not (yet) supported.

If you're a techie, extra features (that don't get in the way if you're not) include busybox, bash shell, init.d support, rc.local support, remount script and two modes of wireless access (ssh & adb wireless). Additionally, adb now supports root access, allowing you to do things from your command line that were not previously possible.

Additionally, the stock WallpaperChooser has been modified exposing 30 new Wallpapers from Samsung, previously hidden in the source code!

Peach Sunrise V1.2 is available HERE

Rooted kernel for Exhibit II 4g

Linked below is a rooted kernel, the easy method to root your Samsung Exhibit II 4g!

Simply copy a zip file to your internal or external sdcard and reboot into recovery. Choose install zip from the menu and when it completes, you are rooted! Also installed are Busybox, Superuser.apk and su. Additionally, when finished you will have ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 installed as well.

This kernel is suitable for any stock (or stockish) Samsung Exhibit II 4g.

Just as an FYI, it took a year and a half to get CM7 ported to the Epic 4G. And that was with a skilled multi-person team. Granted, as a GSM phone the Exhibit II faces fewer roadblocks, but it's not something that's done in a weekend. But even if someone posted CM7 for the Exhibit II at 7am tomorrow, someone would be whining for Miui or CM9, by 7:10am. It gets old real fast.

Try being grateful for what you have for a change. Give it a break.

I think the first post is out of date (this new ROM, custom kernel). As we don't have a forum I think it is important to gather the info somewhere. We can modify the exhibit 2 wiki. I'll try to do that next week if I see no change.

Also I've seen a lot of new comers reporting problem with the drivers. It may be worth double checking if the one from the exhibit 1 (as in the link) do not cause problems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
The wiki is being kept up to date and each Rom/kernel has its own thread. What drivers are causing problems
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
Ooops, my bad. Just saw all the ROMS are in the wiki, that's good. Long long time ago most of the info was on this thread and there was not much information on the wiki.

It's difficult to say for the driver. I see regularly people reporting problem with ODIN flash (caused by the drivers) but it's really difficult to know what is coming from the driver itself (because it's the driver from exhibit 1 in the post) or from the user being lost.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
Yea there is a set of usb Samsung drivers that don't work with odin but the ones in the wiki work fine the problem lies in removing the ones that don't work with odin
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Everybody just needs to install Samsung kies. It installs all the drivers you need for whatever phone including Odin support.

Why don't they just merge the exhibit ii with the sgw forum? My UPG site has whatever, everything in one place but I guess you could also rely on the XDA wiki if you wanted.

So you finally got odin to see your phone

Anybody interested in going in together and getting one of the sgw guys (gals?) an ex2 if it helps - I know the sgw is a lot closer to having some CM love, from what I've seen anyway.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jntdroid:
I'm assuming that's the same file from this thread. If so, these instructions (from the same thread) were helpful - I edited it to reflect Kemikal's linked file - the one in the original post doesn't work any more.

1. If your phone is rooted, then you surely have the correct Samsung drivers installed to your PC already. The first time I connected my Exhibit II, all the drivers were automatically downloaded.

2. With your phone powered off, go into the Download (or Odin) mode by pressing the volume down and power buttons. When the screen with the exclamation mark appears, select the volume up button. You should now be in download mode.

3. Connect your Exhibit II to your PC.

2. Download this file https://rapidshare.com/files/1832866005/t679-stock.zip and extract all the files.

3. Open Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe .

4. click on the OPS-Button and navigate to the folder with the extracted files and select Ancora.ops file.

5. Select the options: One Package, Protect OPS. I did not touch the Auto Reboot, Reset Time options.

6. Click on the One Package-Button and select the md5 file in the extracted folder.

7. Click on the Start button. The flashing process took around 5 minutes for me, at which point the phone rebooted into recovery mode to finish the process. I selected reboot the system.

Might be worth mentioning in the OP - I've done in numerous times with success.

nand backup?

I'm sorry, I'm sure this has been explained before, but now I can't find the answer...

How do I make nand backup? I need CWM first? And I flash that from stock recovery? Then nand backup with CWM should be self-explanatory? And ROM Manager doesn't work with our phone?

FYI, I'm rooted, but that's it. I've never done anything with recovery, I don't have adb, and I'm not sure about Terminal... I see it in the applications list (Terminal Emulator), but it's 0.00B and I don't see how to open it.

Can we put a link to a step-by-step on how to do a nand backup in the wiki and/or first post of the DEV thread?

As always, huge thanks to the devs. You guys are kings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
EDIT: Actually you can probably discard everything I say in this post and just flash Jocala kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1495811).

Yes, I agree a step by step would be useful.

A possible way that could work for you. Usual disclaimer, do at your own risks, low level manipulations can destroy your phone, etc

If you don't have adb or not comfortable with the commands.

Put the recovery cwm5504.zip (made by Jocala) into /mnt/sdcard (or /sdcard it's the same thing). You probably need to download it into your computer first and then copy it on your phone (windows XP or 7 should recognize the phone if you click on "usb connected" on the top menu).

Boot into stock recovery. Use quickboot of follow the instructions on the wiki (or http://androidforums.com/exhibit-2-4g-all-things-root/490263-recovery-mode-memory-tweaks.html DON'T do those kind of things if you are on battery and it's almost empty !!!)

Navigate (with volume down) to

- apply update from sdcard

Select with the home button (may ask you to choose the file, I do not remember)

This will flash CWM.

I'm not sure if the phone reboot after that but anyway if everything goes well you will have CWM installed which has an option backup/restore and you can choose where (external sdcard worked for me and recognized the real external sdcard)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jaymer81:
Alright, well I was asking because I want to start flashing ROMs, but I'd like a nand backup before I do that. What's the safest way to go? Flashing CWM or flashing Jocala's kernel? I just don't want to brick my phone.

I installed adb, by the way, and it seems to be working fine.

Sorry, I'm confused. Is the wiki our link center now?

I had started posting some links (kem,wildchild) on my peach thread, but nuked them, because I remembered VanillaTbone was keeping links on the OP of the dev thread, and I didn't want to step on toes.

Whatever, but noobs need a landing spot :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
That link on the Dev OP was actually just the xda wiki, not ultimate phone. I thought you had removed the link for some other reason. I've been busy today flashing a friends phone and it's both tiring and time consuming to both deal with the obstacles of flashing another device and explaining all this to them while things randomly go wrong. At first I was going to do the official 2.3 for this mytouch 4g update but the phone wouldn't get the ota and Tmobile took down the ruu download because it was broken.

Knowing that the gingerbread update paths had been blocked was my wtf moment. The only way to upgrade was a custom ROM. Well for s-off what about HTC's new bootloader unlock solution that the community worked so hard to get? Well I couldn't use that method because the phone didn't have the new hboot from the update. Thanks HTC. So I did s off the old fashion way and that part went very well.

Now when I got to flashing the recovery the real trouble started. I couldn't flash the image from the sd card because it was broken and stuck in a read only state. The same thing happened with the ROM. Finally I realized what the problem was and switched sd cards and after that I was able to flash everything without a problem. The good news was the ROM works perfectly without a single bug and I got to try out that new touch enabled recovery.

Anyway that's what an average day of dealing with Android is like for me. It's sometimes very stressful but the end result is often worth it. This weekend I'll be working on rolling out a complete a to a root/flashing guide for the exhibit 2 as well as that miui build.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
