right now I am waiting for jocala's cm9 to progress further. It is REAL close right now that wifi calling has been fixed. only two things remain and those are camera which won't be far off now that we have a partialy working one now and battery life. I have cwm installed with a backup so I can go any way I need to right now. root would be nice so the bloatware can be axed and that probably isn't too far off either. Heck the xquizit rom based off this version would rock with the ics theme.

new kernel/recovery for update

Please download @ Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G Thread where you'll find the Galaxy Exhibit rooted kernel, recovery and new rooted UVLE1 ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheGeekRedneck:
Is there another file we are supposed to have for flashing with Odin (aside from the .md5 file)? Like an .OPS file?

I've tried flashing the new stock ROM with Odin and it just says 'An unnamed file was not found'... talk about ambiguous error dialogues... lol

Sweet, thanks a bunch Jocala! :)

[EDIT: Flashing now... and as I'm doing this I see the new post from Jocala with a rooted new kernel... now that's dedication! Thank you again for all the hard work you've done for us!]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] samusishere:
I flashed the new kernal. Im on cm9

It gets too the galexy exhibit scree then doesnt boot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Willielf:
Flashed on rebelrom. It booted and worked, but It had a wifi error. The wifi wouldn't work, so I decided to restore back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheGeekRedneck:
Applied this on a fresh stock ROM (the new one, UVLE1) using the stock recovery. It installed the new CWM but no signs whatsoever of root or SuperUser.apk.

Even tried the market SuperUser and it found no su binary and was unable to install a new one.

No idea on the status of busybox.

I even tried re-applying the zip with the CWM recovery but still no dice.

May be (probably) something I am doing wrong, but I figured I would report it just the same. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Seriiez:
I have the same thing as TheGeekRedneck, CWM installs but there was no SU or BusyBox, titanium backup says no root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
please redownload @ Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G Thread

That's where you'll find the Galaxy Exhibit rooted kernel, recovery and new rooted UVLE1 ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheGeekRedneck:

Will OTA update brick my rooted Exhibit II?

Hi! This forum is such a great resource--thanks for all that you do. I recently rooted my Exhibit II, but I haven't done anything more than install Titanium Backup and freeze a few apps. This morning, I got a notification on my phone that the 2.3.6 update is ready for install. Will this work OK on my rooted phone? Will I still be rooted after the install of the update, or will it unroot me?

Thanks so much for all of your help!

Kristin
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
You'll have to try and see if the update goes through on a rooted phone, idk. Once you're updated, the rooted kernel will work, not before.

EDIT: Make sure you're on android 2.3.6 BEFORE you flash the rooted kernel.

Bluetooth voice dialing

It just amazes me that a phone such as ours that just got an update does not have the stock ability to initiate a phone call hands free via bluetooth. Now that we have root on the update you can install this file -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26479530&postcount=1608 and get bluetooth voice dialing.

edit: you need to install it as a system app
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Seriiez:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pidge2k:
Quick question. I assume the answer is no but by rooting the phone and installing custom rom, I assume this does not unlock the modem baseband and allow the phone to be used with any GSM carrier correct? My father picked up this phone and wants to take it on a trip in a couple of months and still use the phone with a sim from a different carrier in a foreign country. Thank you in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jfroehlich:
Correct, the answer is no. Your phone will still be locked to T-Mobile. It has been reported, however, that T-Mobile will provide unlock codes, but some said they had to be a customer for a certain period before T-Mobile would do so.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] T679noob:
He'd have to get an unlock code from tmobile, or by other means. If he's been a customer for 60 straight days, they should give him an unlock code, hassle free. Just tell them the same thing, that he's leaving the country.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pidge2k:
Thank you both for the quick answer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:

Friends, look for me at the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G Thread

Well if you're willing to possibly brick your device go ahead. They do have a different CPU though if you go online and actually check for exact model number of it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
The Exhibit II 4G has a 1ghz SnapDragon and the Galaxy W has a Scorpion at 1.4ghz. Other than that the camera is a 5MP compared to our 3.2MP...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Like a full perma brick or just breaking the recovery because its not like I haven't flashed the wrong recovery on different phones before. Because if the Ancora recovery is cross compatible all that would need to be changed I'd the CPU speed. Are the partition maps are the same?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
So will it work?!

sent from my exhibit 2 greatness
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
Our phone has a Qualcomm MSM8655 while the Galaxy W had a Qualcomm MSM8255T. Both are manufactured the same way (45 NM process) and use the same GPU. They are both considered Scorpions but at different clock speeds. I'm not much of a developer but ask it seems is that it is the same chip by just clocked at a different speed by default. Nut sure how similar they are in terms of kernel and other stuff that I don't know. I think someone did flash the Galaxy W stuff but ended up with a brick. Not sure if they managed to fix it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
It's quite possible to have a problem during the flash even if it's the good recovery so it's hard to know for sure what happened.

Last time I checked it was only a few lines within 66 files (for a total of X files ? I need to check that) which were different between the W and exhibit 2 kernels. I don't think it's a lot but it would have to be checked...

I would be great to have a status of what are the tools that have been reported to work or not to work and a comparison with the W. I will lack time for a few weeks, so I'm just trying a quick and dirty one here (exhibit 2 side only).

For root:

Zergrush works.

Don't know for one-click.

To flash:

Odin works.

Heimdall has been reported not to work.

ROM manager has been reported not work (because it uses clockworkmod).

Don't know for mobile odin.

Recoveries:

stock

No custom recovery reported to work.

ROMS:

Stock rom

Peach sunrise (based on stock)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
If I recall correctly, The person who bricked their phone by flashing the W odin to it flashed the entire firmware and not just the recovery image. In theory and I know this from other devices, if I flash the recovery image it should only break the recovery and not the system unless the recovery was somehow linked to the boot process which would be highly unlikely. If it did break, all I would have to do is restore the working recovery image.

If whatever I just said is correct then what have I got to lose?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pixeltrailz:
Alright im gonna try out the ROM. Seems pretty nice. BTW im new, just got this phone about 2 months ago and ive ben following this post since the 1st day. But i just made my acc so yea. I came from the long and dreaded Palm Pre life time. i have my fair share flashing etc.

looks good.

if i have a complaint,and,i don't, it would be that that stupid jingle on bootup came back,and,i'll have to remember how i got rid of it,and,i had to reinstall the amazon cloud browser files,plus change density back to 220,which i prefer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
Update on this. Heimdall says device detected for me (heimdall on arch linux) when I plug it in download mode. Unfortunately, I don't have time to try to flash at the moment. What was doing Heimdall for the people who tried it ?

CM9

Hey all - I just got my Exhibit II today and I'm interested in getting started on development for it... I am a CyanogenMod user since CM6 on the original Droid. I have Android SDK and NDK experience, but I'm new to ROM development.

What is the limiting factor getting CM9 running on Exhibit II 4G? Is it getting a custom recovery working? I'm thinking that is a good place for me to start? Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
There is not yet a custom recovery reported to work. Either there is no recovery working, or there is a recovery working that has not been used (or not used properly).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
I'm off for the next 2 days so get ready for more additions to the thread plus a few other "goodies".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] samusishere:
hanks for this,

quick question though,

Im a bit of a noob

how do you set the (/data/99SuperCharger.sh) to run at boot?

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pixeltrailz:
Does this still work if you are using GO launcher? Becasue ive tried this a numerous of time but it doesnt seem to work. Even when i set the 99supercharger.sh to boot. Nothing seems to be different. Everytime i pull it up. Itl say my luancher so weak. And redrawing STILL happens. Was there anything else that you did?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
Use scriptmanager, find the script /data/99SuperCharger.sh and you click on it (then click on the superuser icon and launch at boot icon next to it)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] surrealillusion:
So I'm probably one of the few Canadians that I can tell so far that has this phone unlocked from Virgin/Bell and have it set up on another Candian carrier (Fido in my case). What I am noticing after dropping on RebelROM last night is that the phone thinks it is roaming (which it shouldn't be). I've verified my sim card is newer (replaced it when I had my X10a and the roaming issue with the Rogers branded phone) and never had this issue on my CM7 LG p500h.

Anyone have any ideas what I can do to try and remedy this problem?

hey jocala the link for the samsung drivers arent working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Just type download samsung drivers for phone on your computer it should. Show up it should do install of drivers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] overlandpark4me:
Hmm

I was offered the OTA update to 2.3.6 today on my Exhibit 2 , and let it run it. It rebooted the phone, still show 2.3.5, and under Software Update, no firmware needed. I'm still rooted. Should I have turned off the USB debugging before the attempt? Is that why it failed? I figured it would screw up my root, but the bug fixes would have made it worth it (hopefully).

Another oddity, about a month ago the phone started to run some stupid boot music I couldn't stop unless I pulled the swipe menu down. I don't know how to get rid of the music. It is really annoying.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dd_0:
Did you run the de-bloat script? I got annoying music after that, and i had to recover to stock to get rid of it.

I can't get the update to work - it keeps going to the CWM (5.5.0.4) menu on reboot.

Any comments from the experts, please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] overlandpark4me:
No scripts run, period. I did the zerg root as shown on the site, then installed a couple of apps. It started doing it before I rooted it. I can't even find the "tune" that is annoying me either. It will literately run for minutes without stopping.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] overlandpark4me:
Thanks, Cleared all cache, but I couldn't find the Dalvik. I looked it up because I didn't know what it was, and the hit i goty said it was in the data/dalvik-cache/ , but all that is in there is "com.mufumbo.android. etc. The music starts when it explores the sd card and media on the phone.

I'm also getting an su binary outdated, and when I try to update it fails at the md5sum. Something is going on, which is the result of me installing apps I don't know anything about to accomplish something else (<;

Thks for the help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Dalvik cache can be cleared in cwm recovery or using root toolbox etc. Md5 sum issue for superuser can be fixed by rerooting or flashing a

Superuser zip. Had the problem before myself.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] overlandpark4me:
I don't have the CWM, so I'll look at how to do the Super user. Thks.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Get cwm from this thread first page or superuser 3.0.7 test 7 zip. or reroot with superoneclick ,zergrush or unlock root.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dennis96411:
Did you wipe anything prior to installation? Flashing jocala's builds shouldn't have wiped anything. Is your SD card still usable? There may be a tiny chance (0.0001%) of it being corrupted. XD

Ur ex.sd on cm9 is /emmc

via da v6'd sge4g beast courtesy of camcory
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dennis96411:
That's odd, that shouldn't have touched any of the SD partitions. When you take the card out and read it on your computer directly, is it empty?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brokenAndroid93:
Actually no, everything is still there. So what does this mean?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
CM9 is weird because anything stored on your external card is on /emmc or /mnt/emmc. Both lead to the same place but you can't get to it unless that file explorer can get root access (which would be just /). For me ES File Explorer can do it but you would need to navigate there every time you open the app since it defaults to opening /sdcard. Or you can flash the swapSD zip and that'll trick your device into thinking /sdcard is /emmc and vice versa.

Edit: So it turns out you can change what directory ES File Explorer opens to by changing the home directory under settings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jfroehlich:
You can access /mnt/emmc in OI File Manager or ES File Explorer without anything special. In OI, just go up one level from the default location and you will see emmc. In ES, press favorites and /mnt/emmc should be listed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
You still have tell ES that you want to enable root first though in settings. Then again I never tried it without enabling that option.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brokenAndroid93:
Actually I just went to mnt/emmc in root explorer and there it all was, thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brokenAndroid93:
One other thing guys, in titanium backup, how do I restore my apps when titanium doesn't list any of my backups? Like is there a setting that will let me navigate to the backup file on the SD card?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brokenAndroid93:
I still managed to get my problem solved on this "dead" thread :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Should be a folder on sd card that says titanium backup or in settings of titanium backup app look under more and it should have extract from nandroid backup etc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brokenAndroid93:
OK well I keep trying to install my apps and the data but it keeps saying "batch restore finished" but the apps I selected aren't on my phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Guess you have to add them manually since tb didnt fix it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
You're a very funny guy :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brokenAndroid93:
This is a little ridiculous, why isn't titanium backup doing its job? I didn't stray from the standard cm9 installation and do something different, I installed it exactly as jocala advised. So why is it doing this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jfroehlich:
If you're trying to restore apps/data from one of the GB ROMs to CM9 you are inviting trouble IMO. Nevertheless you can check and change your backup and restore location in TB. Backup/Restore tab -> menu -> Preferences -> Backup Folder Location.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brokenAndroid93:
So where should I move it to and will that fix this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jfroehlich:
Backup Folder Location specifies the destination for backups and the source for restores. Ensure that it matches the location of your backup files, bearing in mind the CM9 mount point for the internal storage - /mnt/sdcard - and for the removable SD card - /mnt/emmc.

Restore Backups To... is the option for restore destination, and should probably be set to default.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brokenAndroid93:
I think that did it, thank you :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
I'm sorry to see that my efforts to do radical things like posting Galaxy Exhibit cm9 questions in the Galaxy Exhibit cm9 thread, and moving other conversation to threads where the OP has information updated with info useful to new users rather than threads abandoned by the OPs,are met with scorn and snark.

I made multiple requests to XDA mods to have the abandoned legacy ("dead") threads ownership transferred to someone who would do basic upkeep. I suggested KemikalElite. It was promised but never happened. So, anyway, I'm done. Do what you like.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ToStymiedBoar:
I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciate the work you and other devs have put into improvements of our devices. Please don't be discouraged.
