The only downside of wiping cache/dalvik is it will take longer to boot the first time. I do it every time I update just to play it safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DEFJAMVAN:
Updated to 9/25. Running smoothly!

Anyone else have problems with sound. When there's an incoming call, my phone doesn't ring. I have to always go to settings>sounds and check 'vibrate and ring'. Its really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sorry, can't confirm this with a clean install of 9/25. Incoming calls ring w/o problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
I just wiped davlik/cache and my sound and vibrate works fine.

So far the Rom is running smooth. Only problem I have which am probably sure it's not a room issue is, some of my apps are not showing -mostly ones in the external sd card. I can open them from play store but not the normal way. I had the issue before but fixed it with a reboot but now am not able to. Is my sd card crapping out?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DEFJAMVAN:
It might just be me. I'll try wiping davlik/cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hendykhanh:
Hi jocala !

Can you add BLN mod add kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mrazndead:
i did the .5x animation preference thing and it's making a huge difference on my phone with this rom, no more lag and it's super snappy..... damn this rom is fast.

He's only working on fixing 911 now
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] zalmann:
I am amazed at how much faster this rom/Android 4.0 feels on this phone than stock Gingerbread. However the battery life is much, much worse. It can barely go a day (12 hours) if it is not used much and as such is barely usable.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
What apps are you running? I can easily get 12 hours with push notifications on and everything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Yeah, whenever I see people say the battery life sucks, especially when they say "light usage," I think either they're doing something wrong or it isn't really light usage. Mine usually has 70% left at the end of a work day if I just use texting, 60% if I use data peroidically.

I'm trying out juice defender to see if it really does make a significant difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
I think juice defender turns off your push notifications so that will be quite a tradeoff
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
The above situations are certainly possible. As has been documented, there's also an issue which affects some of us where WiFi goes into High Performance mode and causes the battery life to dwindle. "andy o" found the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hotsauce126:
Just fyi, the problem I was having with my battery randomly dying was a problem with the battery itself

I ordered a new one, same capacity, and the battery life is wayyy longer than it ever was before (last weekend after 18 hours it was still at 30%, and I used it o play music for a significant part of the day) , which leads me to believe there was something with the original battery from the start
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SickBeast:
Try turning off wifi when you're not using it. It has been causing a massive power drain. I'm not sure if it's been fixed in the newer builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Actually, I just uninstalled Juice Defender. It actually made my battery and performance way worse in just an hour of use. Turns out if you are answering periodic texts, the rapid switching of the radios on and off make the battery and performance tank. Uninstalled it and there is no lag once again.

My battery life without it, as I said, was fine, but I figured I could give it a test run anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Turning it off, then turning it on has worked for me.

Cheers,

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
HJust a note on v6 since some of uses that and when installing a new Tom the tweaks has to be reapplied. The latest v6 script test 6 has a downside with sdcard read/write tweaks. It was rewrote so that when miscellaneous tweaks gets applied it sets the sdcard buffers @ 1024 for the 512 memory that it sees this phone as. Once it is set there is no way to change the value and it will rewrite the file even if you manually write in 2048 or above values.

An older version doesnt do this and you can change the value either manually or via romtoolbox or other means. The file that is used is named 179:0 or something like that and is located in sys folder not system.

Just to update that the latest and greatest really isn't the greatest. I admit that that script s not a good one to use.

Edit: removed v6 entirely ran just adreno changed sdcard buffers to 4096 and ran antutu. The marks are near identical to marks made with appkiller and v6 with aggressive settings.

To those that noticed faster well it is so. The min free values was changed in this version of update to reflect what worked best in both above mentioned tweaks. No longer need to use them or at least no need to change minfree values unless you want to mess with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Kamatari+:
Make sure GPS is off after installing a new rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
A couple of quick notes regarding recurring topics/questions. These are just 'comfort' items, things that might make this thread more comfortable to read.

1. When Jocala releases a new ROM he's not going to try to summarize it. Not to speak for him, but when something really noteworthy happens, he'll probably call it to our attention.

So wade through the commit notes as you please. Heck, I'm too lazy to, but there's NO WAY I'm not gonna load his latest ROM unless I'm too busy, or else get warned off by earlier adopters who discover a rare showstopping flaw.

2. Thanks to the poster who asked us not to quote super-long posts, such as commit postings. It's kinda annoying. Use the edit function if you want to quote, people.

Thanks for reading. I mean no disrespect to anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I'll certainly speak up for anything major, (just as I have for camera or other working/not working items) but summarizing all the commits for a changelog could be quite a time sink. If someone else wants to volunteer, I'm all for it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ricedragon:
New ROM is awesome. Battery issue seems fixed. 93% still after 5 hours. Thanks for the dedication Jocala!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
I flashed JB_SYSUI_CM9B1.zip and my status bar is completely blank. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Reflash the CM9 zip?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi jocala,

On the last drop, I followed a few of the GIT links but I couldn't make heads or tails on the changes for the drop. Is there a change.log-like file or does one need to comb through every file in the source tree?

Thanks!

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
The steep drop at the start was when Juice Defender was installed. Thus, I cannot recommended it for people who use their phone. If you need to leave it in your pocket all day and not look at it then it may help battery. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Yeah, guess I'll do that. Just flashed 0925 and got it all comfy with Holo HD (first try with it), then flashed that JB notification drawer zip. Should've made a nandroid. Womp womp waaa

I really like the look of the drawer, though! I just wonder why the blank status bar. Hm...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Willielf:
Try using the manual method of installing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Mind directing me to the source? I just saw the link to that zip a few days ago, on this thread and grabbed it.

Copy/overwrite it into system/app and change permissions to rwrr. Reboot and it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Look for the history link on the right side of the page. Click that. It's a running changelog.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Willielf:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
Battery life is much better, but I still see problems when away from WiFi. When running the 9/25 build today:

8 hours near WiFi: battery dropped 11%

2 hours away from WiFi: battery dropped 16%

I realize the battery drop may not be linear in any case, but the same thing happened on previous builds. Still, I'm happy that it's getting better and the battery life is much better now when connected to WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
GrooVe IP is working again.

Anyone know if the new M7 offline/online update of Google Now works? This is like a new version of the M7 update?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Ah yes .. thank you ... silly that I didn't see that initially.

Looking at a random History link (https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_experimental/commits/gingerbread/) I don't quite see anything new ... all the commits are from 2010.

I think I need another hint. :)

Cheers,

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] liquidnails:
This works! Very nice. I like JB app drawer. :D I am so impressed with this ROM. It keeps me from killing my phone... Lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] HeavyYeti:
Battery life is much better on 9.25. Awesome job jocala.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jeremykersh:
dont know what happened but I downloaded the cm925 from op mirror 1 and ended up with only a 44,081kb file zip which did not work

mirror 2 I got a 135,962kb zip which worked perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Does that JB notification drawer actually make Jellybean notifications, or is it just a theme? If it's just a theme, there's already a CM9 theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
It is just a modified theme. Changed looks and action. It only effects the drawer.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
I sometimes get music playback freaks when for instance browsing tumblr, sometimes tapatalk. I don't think its dsp, but regardless, its still the best rom. Looking forward to 911 working although I hope to never use it!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
Check deposit app still takes green photo in 925. Also very interested in offline Google now.....

Of course I'm correct, I'm talking aren't I?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
Well, I spoke too soon about the battery life being fixed. Yesterday my battery dropped 11% in 8 hours. So far today it's dropped 14% in only 2 hours, so it's using the battery 5 times as fast.

I'm in the exact same location I was yesterday, doing the same thing. I check weather and email a couple of times an hour. The WiFi must be getting in that high power state for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
I believe this latest drop may have an occasional battery issue. At night, I turn off my WiFi and typically, the phone drops a few points. This morning, it had dropped around 25 points;

Cheers,

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wildguess:
Last night I flashed 25/9.

My phone dropped 60% in 6 hours.

WiFi is off during sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
I always plug my phone in at night. I used to reboot my phone whenever I left for work as I wouldn't be on wifi and this would fix the battery drain without turning off the radio. Recently I have simply turned the radio off and back on and it reduces the problem, but not as much as the reboot did...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mrazndead:
i concur about battery life is worse then the last build i used, 8/25 i believe.

my phone battery drops a lot faster. exact same settings as 8/25 - but i still enjoy the snappy and quick response of this build.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
OK battery life isn't ideal. Perpetual banter, build after build. Move on.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi,

I'm not sure what you're trying to say exactly however there does appear to be a regression. It seems some process (I doubt it's running in an infinite loop, pegging the processor .. perhaps a constant poll? I don't know ...) is consuming too much CPU, which in turn manifests itself as battery drain.

Cheers,

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
What I'm saying is battery life hasn't been good on cm9, for this phone, since inception. Seems it's something we should learn to live with. That's all.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
On 3 hours of Battery now, wifi on half the time away from any networks, 15 minutes of screen on time, brightness halfway, here at 85%.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
"What I'm saying is camera hasn't worked 100% on cm9, for this phone, since inception. Seems it's something we should learn to live with."

"What I'm saying is 911 calling hasn't been good on cm9, for this phone, since inception. Seems it's something we should learn to live with."

Why do you have to poop on problems other people are having and trying to get to the bottpm of it, just because you are not?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] briot12:
I thought Inception was a good movie but way too overrated
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
Well this is beta and functionally bugs need to be squashed before tweaks can be made to the rom like extending battery life.

There are options in the rom you can use now to save on juice. Like turning on some handy Widget buttons like the 3g/2g toggle and use 2g when texting. Toggle Mobile Data to Turn off the phones data when using Wifi and Toggle Wifi to turn off Wifi when using the phones data and GPS when not needed as well as BlueTooth.

Keep the brightness low when possible.

Again get a backup battery like this 9000mah battery: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10831&cs_id=1083110&p_id=9531&seq=1&format=2 or others: http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10831#1083110

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Did I refer to any of those other issues, smart (_!_)?

How much does it help to repeat the same thing over and over and over? You think jocala isn't privy to it? Deet-di-dee... Telling him 8 times in a day that your battery life sucks isn't proactive, it's a broken record. Ever consider why he never comments on it?

I can think of one thing I'd like to "poop on."
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Try out Power Schedule. It allows you to set up to 7 schedules for free to enable/disable wifi, ringer, data, airplane... Turning off wifi while at work should have great battery savings! I tested and the scheduler works. I'll see how battery improves after using it a full day tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mrazndead:
alright, I fixed my battery from draining like crazy. easy fix.

goto your email settings, and turn off fetch/push. set to manually or never. and you're golden. my battery doesn't drain for no reason anymore.

it's great. god is great. jocala is great. i'mma get some tonight.

thanks for the rom!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Something really nice I've noticed is that boot time is very fast, especially compared to previous builds. All shortcuts & widgets load right up in the first minute with no stutter, even as you swipe between screens. That's never happened before.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
Just thought I'd finally chime in.

I flashed 9/17 day before 9/25 came out.

My battery drained in 8-10 hrs.

I turned wifi off today and thought I had already tried that but today I have gone 14 hrs and still have 67 % left. I have done my normal web browsing , texting , calls , etc....

Don't know what happened but something changed.

I was about to blame Google now cuz I thought it was periodically waking the phone during sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
No, and that's the point, you point-not-getter.

Depends on how you say it. But you weren't dismissing people who did just that, weren't you? You were dismissing everyone who might have troubles with battery life for whatever different reasons, some of which may be worked around.

Proactive is working with others to see if you can at least identify the problem, and not have to expect jocala to fix everything for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Seriously people, grow up. Let's be civil.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
I dont normally chime in on alot of squabbles but I must say this kind of silliness makes me just want to keep to myself and stop helping others. Most here obviously do not know the level of difficulty and time it takes to develop for these phones if they did they wouldnt have time to bicker about the little things. I dont know just my two cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
I hate to dog pile so I'll try to keep it light.

With any software development, especially in this type of forum, as a developer, you /want/ to hear what's working and what's not. People are rightly pointing out there's a regression with the battery (that's a bit of a misnomer as I pointed out before - there's some process which is running more frequently than usual). I know that the previous drop from the latest, my battery was doing very well. With this drop, /something/ is not kosher.

My phone habits don't change much ... I'm a very boring phone user. Also, I work from home so most of the time, all my email is being done in front of my Rig and/or laptop. Sooooooooooo, something is different. I've considered going to the previous release but the drain isn't super bad and since I'm mostly at home anyway .... you get the drift. :)

Cheers,

This release removes the vulnerability to USSD dialer exploits.

For those with battery issues, I'm sorry to say I can't confirm battery life any different than normal for this ROM, nor do I detect any regression. There has AFAIK, been no changes to the cyanogenmod code or kernel code that impact battery life. If you know of anything specific in source code that you can point to that you feel may be causing a battery problem, I'll be more than happy to listen and forward the info (and hopefully a patch) upstream.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] NoobNeutralizer:
I'm gonna chime in too...

These devs are giving this stuff to us for free...

So how about you sit back, shut the hell up, and be thankful to Jocala and the others...

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
Hey, I don't know how it got to this, but if you read what I wrote I wasn't saying anything to the contrary, and I wasn't pro-bickering either. Of course I'm thankful to you and jocala and the others and that's why I don't want to be misunderstood. I wasn't complaining to any developer, I was just responding to someone who felt the need to shut up people with problems that can be looked into and maybe even just worked around, even if only by other users and not the developers themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Willielf:
Wow. Two updates in a week! You are truly amazing, jocala! :D thanks for always being so quick with everything! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Yes, I'm just as confused. If people read our messages, neither one of us is whining/complaining. If anything, I'm surprised that there's a set of people who believe that simply because the software is free, we shouldn't report anything back but accolades and sugary thank you's. Yes, of course I'm grateful. I show my thanks by sticking around the board to help (I'm the one who discovered the gmail blank text fix: kill the app) Andy is the one who found the battery drain issue (wifi high performance kicking in) ...

Folks, we /are/ the good guys.

People should not be told to "So how about you sit back, shut the hell up, and be thankful to Jocala and the others... " How ... sophomoric.

-pablo

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

Hi jocala,

Thank you for testing it out on your end. Perhaps I can figure out if there are any issues which are causing it to trip on my end. That might be helpful in finding root-cause.

Cheers,

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Kamatari+:
It is hard to really narrow down the battery drain issue, aside from our known wi-fi problem, considering how many variables each user has.

I noted my phone would often slow to a crunch without any interaction from me. I would restart my phone and it would go back to normal operation, but I needed to know what caused this random slow down. When the issue came up I checked my running apps and services. Turns out a lot of the time a GO app caused the problem. Usually the launcher or sms app was stuck in a rebooting loop and gnawing on either the memory or cpu. Perhaps things like that may contribute to battery drain?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
I installed a program to monitor all running programs and watch the battery during the course of sleep. I did put phone into deep sleep with just alarm on and had no drainage to note. Will try again this time leaving it on normal usage and not battery savings.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Aye, that's right, the next step is to see what's going on and what's unique to those folks who are affected. Similar to how "andy o" found the WiFi High Performance drain issue.

One thing I'm going to do after the latest flash is to power off my phone, pull the battery and start it afresh. It's a near-zero cost effort and I've had one case where pulling the battery fixed some wonkyness. :)

Addendum

As it is said, hindsight is 20/20. In retrospect, I should have pulled the battery first, before writing to the board. Oopsie. My bad. I'll feel super stupid if it's that simple .. and of course, I will extend my apologies to Jocala for burning cycles ... :\
