Try doing a factory reset.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
It's not a successful flash. I'm not sure what's up, but the ROM is de-bloated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NoobNeutralizer:
Almost de-bloated...

The AT&T Contact Back-up, Wi-Fi Calling, and Visual Voicemail came back...

You said you had de-bloated it, but not too aggressively...

Perhaps you missed a few?

I'm not complaining, just letting you know...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
AT&T? I hope you mean Tmobile.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
You had debloated yourself I take it prior to flashing Peach? No worries, I guess the question is what Peach has that you think is bloat. All your bloatware came back or just some?

I am taking it slow on bloat removal. More will be gone with beta 3. Suggestions welcome :)

edit: nevermind, I see Contact Back-up, Wi-Fi Calling, and Visual Voicemail you mentioned. Missed it first read.

as everone has said everything works great.

as a side note i installed this guys rom.

everything works including the radios.

2.3.6,fast,seems stable.

it isn't rooted,after install,you have to root it manually following this guide.

method 1 via recovery. zerg rush does not work.

it is an odin file and reinstalls the old 3e recovery.

then after rooting reinstall jocala's new recovery.

i forgot to add i installed without doing a wipe,and all of my programs are still there,and you don't need to have external power plugged in,like all of the other galaxy roms i tried so far.your phone will identify itself as a galaxy gt 18150,and have the galaxy boot up and boot down animations.

wifi,connects to the network,i downloaded something from the market,made a phone call.no problems.

i really like it,you're results may vary,does have some bloat,but thats easily removed.

Thanks for letting me know this. I'll update it after I'm done with maintenance. Last night I was purging the site's user database of spam bot accounts that get past my security and somehow the entire "user" table got dropped from the central SQL database. So now the ability to use or create accounts on my wiki is broken. I'm going to upgrade to mediawiki 1.18.1 merge the data and blah blah blah technical stuff.

As a rule of thumb I never flash a rom for another phone, that being said I know the Galaxy W is very similar practically the same phone. Could flashing a rom from Galaxy W brick your phone if it's not a sucessful flash?

[ROM] BpearROM IceCreamBread Beta 1

BpearROM beta 1:

Ok guys heres my first working crack at building a rom for this phone. I dont actually own this phone so it makes developing for it difficult. Anyways big props to dennis96411 for being my guinea pig and testing my multiple builds out.

Download:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WJA6K6JY

Features:

Barebone with barely any trace of TouchWiz interface

IceCreamSandwich theme

Based on the Samsung Galaxy W Stock 2.3.6 ROM (I8150OXXKJ6)

Kernel from Samsung exhibit ii 2.3.5 VKJ1

Debloated

Rooted

Busybox

Deodexed

Zipaligned

Has task killer tweaks

optimized memory

build.prop tweaks

Roboto font

Go launcher EX

ICS wallpaper Selector

ICS clock

Touchscreen more accurate" *Not scientifically proven

Working:

Mostly everything besides wifi and camera D:

Not working:

Camera

Wifi

Both will be fixed soon

Screenshots coming soon:

Install:

Install CWM

Backup apps with titanium backup or similar

Make a nandroid backup in CWM

Wipe data, cache,system etc

Install rom in CWM

Reboot and enjoy

Optional: i attempted to fix camera in above build but all it did was make camera and gallery app not visible, so if you want just flash this .zip in cwm over the above build http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CKXLPX20 , it will restore camera and gallery so there are atleast able to be opened, camera wont save pics though.

I enjoyed testing your beta ROMs bpear, was a fun and scary experience :D

I'm glad most of the things work :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpear96:
Thanks for testing :D glad nothing serious happened to your phone, and we ended up with a somewhat working ROM :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
Thank you both for your contribution...

After wifi and camera is fixed I will update the OP with links/description and screenshots...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] md1008:
I am uploading a rooted stock nandroid to megaupload so th,at way if we have it just incase someone makes a rookie mistake and flashes a rom with out a back. or if someone just forgot to make a stock rom back up and just wants to go back to stock. This will have all bloat+superuser, rom manager, and tianium backup.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
You didn't sign in b4 making the backup did you? If so your account will be linked to the nandroid...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpear96:
did you wipe data and cache before making the nandroid backup? if not it can brick who every flashes its phone, just letting you know
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
Hey can I flash cwm thru stock recovery then flash this nandroid thru cwm an gain root w/o a computer

via Dan swagger
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joshua.justice:
I can't access the stock recovery. I tried rebooting into it with an app similar to quickboot but the phone stays off. is there any other way to flash the zip of cwm?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpear96:
you dont flash cwm from stock recovery anyways, you have to flash it with adb or imo odin the easiest way
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
You dont flash the zip... The recovery is named recovery.img and should be extracted to the root of your internal sd.

You need to flash it via adb

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

reboot recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BeratE:
So just to be clear as the file structure of this phone is a bit weird, the recovery.img should be on the root of /sdcard and not /sdcard/external_sd?

Maybe a little blurb on the OP?

Thanks

also, what are the additional files included in jocala's recovery zip file?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joshua.justice:
I did that

my phone rebooted and this image came up

Then it powers off by itself
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpear96:
Im not sure i dont actually have this phone, but i know whats included in jocalas recovery, it uses the exhibit ii kernel vs the galaxy w kernel fixes blicking screen
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
The other files in the zip are of no immediate importance. Added instructions to the OP as requested.

Yes, the internal sdcard as I stated earlier.

Joshua.justice, that's the stock recovery. Make sure in the command slice "mmcblk0p13" you use a zero(0) and not an o.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dennis96411:
It's 'blk0' not 'blko'.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joshua.justice:
Would it still show data was transferred as it has above, even though the recovery didn't work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
Yes, you were entering stock recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] md1008:
This phone is not activated as it is my backup. Also I did a factory reset but did not whipe dalvik cache.

ion

*edit* I should clarify that I did not use gmail account this is a stock rom with rom manager and superuser. I made rom manager a system file so thats why it's there. Anyways I had to re upload it hopefully be up by tonight or before this sight is blacked out in protest
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gaijin2008:
f*ck i cant wait for a full fledged cm-rom with all the bells and whistles for this phone. you guys are doing a GREAT job coming along with the development for this celly. i want to personally volunteer for the testing of the beta2 of your rom Bpear , it would be my plessure....plus im tired of sittin onthe sidelines waiting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joshua.justice:
It worked! Thanks! backing up now :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] md1008:
I flashed this rom, and I must say it's very nice. I really like the ics theme, and it runs very smooth. My exhibit is not my daily phone, but I will take the sim out of my mytouch 4g and put it into this phone and test it out durring work. Right now I work at a Yogurt shop so I have plenty of time to play with my phone :) I will report any bugs if any that aren't wifi or camera

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

my computer froze up in the middle of uploading to media fire, I plan on having the nandroid link soon. Just to clarify this is has been factory reset, the dalvk cache has been whiped and it's basically the same as an update.zip file. I really prefer CWM to Odin so that's why I am doing this. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpear96:
Thanks man glad you like it :D, im working on a fix for wifi now, its being tested right now, if it works ill work on camera.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Irate Iguana:
Wifi and the camera are pretty essential to me, but once you get them working I can't wait to try it out! Also once you get those down, is there anyway you could make an OCable kernel? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] md1008:
The bPear rom is really nice however I get a force close when I go to download an app from the Mark or when I go onto the web browser.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpear96:
My tester didnt report this, did you wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and format system before flashing?

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

Is there any way for you to change the amount of RAM available because all the spec sheets say it has 512mb but the task manager(yours and stock) only go up to 356mb :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpear96:
356 is what is free for system apps, the other amount is taken up my system os etc, you cant really change that, but this rom does have some tweaks to use the 356 more efficiently
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jgrinst1:
Excellent! I don't need a camera but do need Wifi. I'll load this up tomorrow. Thanks! Looking forward to OC'ing this baby...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
Do we really need kies

via Dan swagger
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
Always happy to help a fellow android user...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
The 356 was most likely a property set by Samsung to separate System Reserved memory and then the user space memory. Most of that system reserved space is in use by the TouchWiz UI and probably other proprietary Samsung hidden system background processes.

The only real important thing out of that is we should be able to change that limitation once we get AOSP based ROMs working (cyanogen). As long as there's 512mb actually in the device the phone should be able to use more of it as long as its not in use by the base android system.

Also its part of the advertising loophole. On pretty much any type of magnetic/computer storage you buy it advertises half a gig but there's that little fine print that reads "*actual formatted capacity may vary." I bought a 1 TB hard drive. Its missing about 70 GB lol.

512 - 356 = amount of ram system reserved - touchwiz samsung bloatware = extra memory!

Changelog/Updates for my exhibit 2 guide/wiki

-Updated the exhibit 2's sale information.
-Minor changes to recovery information and added unlocked bootloader note.
-Added Bpear's ICB ROM to the list of ROMs

-Upgraded the Mediawiki version from 1.17 to 1.18.1
-Fixed a bug that broke user accounts
-Fixed a bug with the "Login with Facebook" API.
-Added additional security to prevent spam/vandalism (The security of my wiki and its users is my primary focus at this point)

Bpear nice work with your ROM. The ICS theme is great! :)

I will have a lot of free time over the next few days so hopefully I get my ROM up and working. I'm thinking of a vanilla gingerbread design.

Overclocking is all about the kernel, which is one of the things we cant just use the galaxy w's on the exhibit ii. What im trying to say is i cant just port the rom you linked to over to the exhibit ii, my testers have already tried a test rom i made for the exhibit ii with the galaxy w kernel, and it worked partially, screened flickered none stop and sim card was not detected, when i swapped kernel back to exhibit ii kernel most was working except camera and wifi (and i guess accelermeter now) i have manually fixed wifi and am going to do the same for the other 2, but to achieve overclock on the exhibit ii.

6- Download TitaniumBackup.zip and unzip it in the root of your /sdcard. Use Titanium Backup to restore the stock System Apps if you need them. (This is in the case you "accidentally" delete them and want to restore stock system apps)

Which folder do I extract the file to, specifically? All this did was extract each zip file. Don't know what to do from there with Titanium Backup. I really just want the market back and my Task Manager (w/ widget).
