Thanks for the replies, Jocala!

I went through several test runs with my computer booted and some other test runs with my computer shut down. Shut down, but my PS still supplies the USB ports with power.

To do the tests I shut my phone down completely by holding the power switch until the dialog appeared, then clicking "Power off", and "OK" to confirm. A "non-expert" factory-approved shutdown. Then I rebooted my phone by holding the power switch and releasing.

My phone does in fact boot with the cable plugged in,

for the most part

. Once, it did the SAMSUNG logo looping. Also -- once, as I shut down my computer while the phone was OFF (cold) -- my phone decided to boot!

I am not claiming any of this means anything. My computer or my phone might be "out of spec" or it could be something else I don't understand. I started thinking about this behavior when I when I read the previous poster having problems booting.

I encountered this looping at least twice (before my experiments), despite following all steps "by the book". Both times, as soon as I pulled the cable, the issue resolved. So, when someone is having trouble booting, they might consider pulling their USB cable. TMMV.

PS: I did not clear the cache/Dalvik cache, although I sure would do that if this problem persisted or if I were running further experiments. I would also try using one of the other computers I have access to. Thanks again, J!

I repeatedly flashed Peach w/o wiping (5x) and eventually got the symptoms of a uid error. Booted into recovery and found /data/system/uiderrors.txt

I have no idea what this means yet.

I've posted a zip of the 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.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Nilpotent:
Not sure if it's normal but I have the same thing with the stock ROM. Eventually it should boot if you try several times.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
OK will remember that. Just thought I'd tell you wifi is working fine and after many reboots, everything is stable. Thanks again for all your help. Is this the most minimal rom for this device, that you're aware of? I'm also curious if you have had anyone speak on battery life. It already sucked on this phone lol but it seems it could be worse now? This could be in my head.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
It's doubtful that any worsening of battery life is due to this ROM. Look elsewhere.

I 'm confused about install CWM

so you download the cwm5504.zip

then extract and copy the file to /mnt/sdcard

what 's next?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
No. You boot into recovery to flash cwm5504.zip which installs clockworkmod, then you can install ROMs. Copy cwm5504.zip to your internal sd, then boot recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kevintran.98:

Wallpaper Used J's Custom Kernel then Flashed Peach 1.2a

Just tried about an hour ago J's custom Kernel. It worked better than imagined, especially for someone new to Android and new to customizing a phone. It was very smooth and easy. Huge Thanks.

So since that went well I decided to go all in. I did Peach 1.2a and I'm having problem with the wallpapers not scaling properly to fit the screen like they did before. Interestingly after flashing the ROM all my photo's were still there. Not sure if Google saved these then when I restarted the account in the setup process it put them back.

Interesting too, now that I look at it. You see step "8" then the row of lines... well to me that means end of ROM steps. (see below) Then you get a disclaimer some spaces below that says"And finally, Wipe data/cache/dalvik before first boot. You WILL have problems if you do not run Peach starting with a clean system. WIPE DATA/CACHE/DALVIK!" Is this reminding you about Step 5? or is this another step?

8. Highlight the peach.sunrise zip file, then press Home.

After you confirm your choice, installation should take less than three minutes.

======================
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Nothing in Peach messes with your wallpapers, one way or another. Can't help you there, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] feetwet:
Used J's Custom Kernel then Flashed Peach 1.2a

Thanks for the reply J. I re-read the instructions and decided that when the ROM was finished installing your intent was to repeat step #5 before a reboot. If you have the time maybe you can make a revision to the steps at the beginning of this thread for the installation of the ROM. Since you are numbering the steps and to follow in the same continuity perhaps create steps:

9. Now that the ROM is installed, repeat step #5 and "WIPE DATA/CACHE/DALVIK" for the second time.

10. Re-boot systems and everything is good to go.

One other thing, do the ZIP files in the internal SD (this is where I saved the custom Kernel and Peach 1.2a) need to stay there? Or can these files be deleted since they have probably been extracted to free up more memory? If that is the case maybe that can be step #11. If you can think of one more step it can be a "12 Step" program.:)

Huge thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I like my instructions. This explains further:

Great rom Jocala it has been working flawlessly for me, but the question and what drives me iinsane with this phone is the headset volume when you go past the warning listening higher than this level can damage your hearing, the phone pauses the music and knocks the volume down. The phone does it with poweramp and the stock music app.Ive tried finding what app is doing this but to no avail do you have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sorry, no. I don't think anyone's found a solution to this. If they have, I haven't read about it.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] xdasimpsoda:
specific question not answered in post

Thank you for helping with the original root. This is my first attempt to root an android phone.

The part where I am stuck is after booting into recovery mode, "choose a package to install" after selecting the external SD card. The external SD card has the "T679-root.zip" file on it.

Nothing else. I select, as far as I can go, but it only shows "../"

nothing more. Stays there doing nothing!

Question: Do I copy the zip file, unzipped or as is?

How will I know when it is rooted? Will there be a progress bar as the phone is being rooted? Do you "select the option you want with the left capacitive menu button? Do I need the other files on the external SD at the same time such as "bloat, or cwm"? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
The stock recovery only sees files on the internal SD, not the external. I've amended the instructions to clarify that.

It sounds like you are trying to install the custom kernel. Do you want that or the custom ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
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)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] spidernix:
Hey Jocala,

Thanks for this update.

Isn't the naming issue pretty important. Does this mean that if I select CWM to wipe "internal sd" it will really wipe "external sd"?

This doesn't sound right and most likely isn't the case but just wanting to clear the air on this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Nope. It names them as SD and Internal SD. Other than that, no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
So

sd = internal sd

Internal sd = external sd

Correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Yep. When formatting, external sd is identified as emmc. This is cyanogen terminology.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
So it's backwards. That's what I had problems with when I flashed the g2x.

I sometimes use my touchpad charger which is a usb wall charger and it charges the E2 just fine.

You could try adbwireless. That works well, somewhat slower than a usb connection. Get in there and erase your tracks :)

Jocala, I was trying to install this newer CWM and ran into a weird problem I haven't seen anyone else mention. I can boot into CWM (your original version) however choosing any option just takes me to a screen with the top hat icon and doesn't do anything. CWM worked for me before when I installed RebelRom (which is my current ROM). Any suggestions why it might do this? I'm thinking I might have to learn how to use adb to install this newer one....
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Are you using the home key to make your selection?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ironwulf:
Wow....do I feel stupid now....I must have been using instructions from some other recovery method.

Selecting with the home key works fine, thanks!

First install of CWM

I successfully flashed the newest version of CWM using adb. Thanks for the great work, jocala.

I made a nand backup and copied it to my laptop. I assume I can delete it off my phone now, right? And what about recovery.img, I can delete that too?

The only issue I've had is that I can't seem to boot into recovery using the phone's buttons. I can only do it with adb. I start holding vol-up, then I start holding power, then I release them shortly after seeing the white Samsung logo... I've tried changing the timing, doing it immediately when I see the logo, counting to 3, waiting till the logo goes away, releasing the power button before the volume button... nothing works. Usually it just boots normally, but one time it gave me a screen that said "RAMDUMP MODE Cause: Force Upload"

I'll be trying out Peach Sunrise later. Looking forward to flashing my first ROM ever. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
You can delete recovery.img. Most folks store their backups on the phone. That way you can boot into recovery and restore w/o needing a pc.

Booting into stock recovery can be tricky...usually once CMW is installed the three-finger boot is more reliable.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Jaymer81:
I'm trying to boot into CWM. What's the three-finger boot? I seem to remember reading something about pressing the home key a while ago, but I don't see anything about it in either of the wikis or the instructions in your first post... I hope I'm not being blind.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
4. Start Recovery (ClockworkMod): Press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. ClockworkMod should start after the color Samsung/T-Mobile Exhibit logo.

(sorry...two-finger boot)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Jaymer81:
Alright, after 10-15 tries, I think I figured it out. It seems I have to release both buttons at exactly the same time exactly 1 second after the Samsung logo appears. Any more or less and it doesn't work.

As a side note, I found the post where KemikalElite recommended holding the home key while booting into CWM, but that didn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Hey, Jocala. Going to test CM9 later today, but in the meantime I flashed back to PS 1.2a. Is there a way I can get Wifi Calling on it? I have a dog shhhh signal at my apartment. Sorry, I'm sure this has already been asked, but its not a small thread anymore =D

Thanks and we appreciate your work on this and especially CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
2nd post. Download bloat.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Cool. And if I only want wifi calling, how would I do that? I assume this isn't a flashable zip, and really wouldn't want all the bloatware, anyway.

Edit: Stupid question, sorry. I see it's all apk files. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Jaymer81:
flashed Peach Sunrise 1.2a

I flashed Peach Sunrise and have been running it without any problems. It seems faster and smoother than stock too. Thanks jocala!

There was just one small hiccup after I flashed and logged into my Google account. First the account login process started over again from the beginning, then when I did it the 2nd time, it went to a black screen with the status bar at the top. I rebooted, did the account login for a 3rd time, and everything was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Jaymer, for what it's worth here is my 2 cents on booting into CWM:

1. Start with power off.

2. Press and hold volume up. Do not release this key until step five. In my method you only hold this key.

3. Long press power key. Release power key. Just like a normal power up, except you were holding volume up and continue to do so.

4. You see the single word SAMSUNG come and go. You then see the larger EXHIBIT II logo come and go. You are still pressing volume up.

5. You see CWM menu appear. Release the volume up key.

I'm sure it's possible to release earlier, but if you only hold one key it's not a big deal. No fancy timing or guesswork required. YMMV

One final comment. I sometimes have problems (boot looping) when my USB cable is connected, so I often disconnect it before booting or rebooting (any boot, not just recovery boot).

Thanks a ton for this ROM, Jocala. This runs 100x better than the stock I had in it. Hopefully you can help me out with a quick questions I have.

I was able to text via wifi before, but am not able to after flashing Peach Sunrise. Is this a known issue? For example, I have no service at my work, but we do have wifi. I was able to text from work before, but now it just says it is waiting for service. Perhaps it is my own lack of knowledge on where to change the settings to allow this..? Otherwise things are working like a charm. Thanks for all of your hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Peach is based on stock, and nothing in the ROM changes your stock sms/mms. AFAIK, you need an app like Google Voice to text via wifi. I'm open to correction, but I've never texted via wifi using stock messaging; it always uses cell.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
Maybe you had WiFi Calling enabled before and it was using that for texting? See the second post of this thread to get the WiFi Calling apk, it's in the bloat package.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tribalxgecko:
hmm, wierd. I wonder if maybe it used the wifi calling feature to handle that? I think I read somewhere else through this thread that you did not care about that since they still charge minutes (maybe it was somebody else, my apologies if so), which I am of the same opinion. So not having that really did not matter any. I can text via other apps, but just thought I would ask. Thanks though!

EDIT: Yep, I needed the wifi calling apk from the bloat zip to text over wifi. All set now. Thanks!

Does 1.2a have the battery full notifications removed?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] gmolds:
Hi jocala and thanks for the ROM!

I've been fiddling with it for 2 days now and have gone back to the original ROM via a backup I did after adding your updated CWM. Main reason I did that was because I forgot to export my pictures and contacts... I am new to this so I guess most people would know to do it.

Anyhow, One thing I do like better in the stock firmware is the TouchWiz multi-screen manager. I can't find a way to add more than the three screens in your version. What controls this? I downloaded the debloated packages so if it's something with that I should be able to do an individual install, correct?

Also, is there an easy way to change the icons that are used on the bottom bar and perhaps even the notifications? If that's beyond the scope of this thread I'm sorry - perhaps you could point me in the right direction.

Anyhow, thanks again for the great job. It's nice to not have the bloat and to be able to remove even more.

-Olds

p.s. The WiFi calling feature on these phones (IMHO) is crap. I've had nothing but dropped calls or lot's of WHAT, HUH, WHA??? So with your ROM installed if I leave Wi-Fi on and register it to the pertinent networks in my world I should never have Wi-Fi calling, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
What you're looking to change is called the Launcher. When using Peach's ADW launcher, add or subtract screens by pressing the far left menu key, then select edit. The bottom bar is called the dock. To change programs on the dock, simply press the center dock icon to open up you applications tray, then drag and drop programs onto the dock.

T-Mobile's wifi-calling feature is not included in Peach. If you want this feature, ou need to re-install wifi calling from the bloat.zip file. There are also other apps like Skype that can make calls over wifi. By default calls go out over the cell network.

If I remember right, the alarm is gone, but there's still a status bar message.

To clarify, I don't want their wi-fi calling as I had nothing but bad experience with it. What I'm trying to clarify is this:

Without a wi-fi calling app installed (i.e. initial Peach install) if I program in all of the pertinent Wi-Fi networks in my life (home, work, in-laws), and always leave Wi-Fi on, I am assuming that data based apps will prefer Wi-Fi while all calls would be using the actual cellular chip. This would hopefully give me the best use for data assuming the wi-fi networks I'm on have decent connections.

Does that assumption ring true?

Force Close

For some reason my exhibit ii with the peach sunrise rom began to force close everything. It force closes the clock, gapps, and all apps in the phone. I thought maybe it would go away if I reboot, but the same happened when I unlocked the phone after the reboot. I would rather not re-flash the rom, so does anybody know what is causing all this?

P.S I did not change anything the settings of the phone or install new apps in a while....
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Peach 1.2A never did that to me. Questions for you.

1 what peach version are you running.

2. Did you battery remove during an app loop.

Just trying to clarify to help start the process of figureing it out.

Smart phones is a mini computer and power disconnect on a computer when stuck in a loop can corrupt the op system so I think maybe that is your problem.
