^ That's what I am used to in battery performance. I was trying what you guys were saying but I couldn't even do it without wanting to throw my phone across the room or giving it a swim in the toilet. The only thing that did work 100% predicably was holding the power and volume up button to reboot and get into recovery mode where I did every wipe around 3 times. I just did a loop from top to bottom a few times just in case and reinstalled the OS with the upgraded Google Apps.zip as well. So far I don't have any lagging problems but I have only installed essentials and some monitoring programs to test.

What I'm finding is when the phone is off, it's stuck in 245MHz mode and NEVER gets to deep sleep. Power usage stays in the low to mid triple digit mAH which is pretty unacceptable. Once I go into flight mode, the phone hits deep sleep no problem. Turn off flight mode and it's still the same as flight mode. I'm assuming and app that NEEDS internet is using up processor time after more phone use which is preventing it to go into deep sleep.

Another thing is I have APK files that are not on the Play which I'm trying to install but when I tap INSTALL, it does nothing. Hitting CANCEL next to it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Anyone have a fix to that?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
If the apk is a system file just place in system/aps
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rovert:
They are apps that need installation. If I just copy the APK to the right place it'll just work the same as "installing" it?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
I am not there to know if what you are trying to install is a system app but most probe are because it was a system app. If it isn't then there is another method but cannot remember. I think signature verify via cwm.

I've been flashing and tweaking a long time. Read up on build.prop tweaks, have a good nandroid back up have a back up of original build.prop. Do some reading Master&Slave in Vibrant forum has some good info on build.prop tweaks to get a feel for them but there is so much more out there.

V6 alters build.prop.

Weak wifi can be fixed in build prop

Battery drain issues can be fixed greatly in build.prop ( lowering wifi scanning, lowering screen Res a bit and so much more..)

Screen ghost issues can be fixed here too.

Want an app that won't work on our phone you can spoof the model in build.prop.

Control how phone handles data

Make your data speeds fly! (Settings are not universal its based on carrier/location/towers)

Learn how to adjust this as you can fix a ton of issues here, its complicated at first, I've been researching for years now.

You won't break your phone because we nandbkp and have Odin.

I'm trying to compile tweaks and info to start a thread for us. Anyone with more knowledge than me or wants to help pm me.

This is mostly trial and error. But its fun to find something new!:rolleyes:

*I'm looking for some sort of service manuals from manufacturers on build.prop programing, or a "dictionary" of build.prop commands and their factual meanings let me know!*

Alot of commands are carrier and model specific here's a good place to start though http://androidforums.com/a70-all-things-root/470917-list-build-prop-tweaks.html

I have lots of "apps"..... :eek: Is there a program that can just automatically install that bypasses the stock "installation" dialogs? Or maybe I need to wipe this firmware again and try again.... Yesterday I could install APKs no problem with the same ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] strogg:
For those with battery concerns...

In case anyone even remembers me and my many phone issues a week ago, I've decided to drop ICS and go back to xquizit. I tried a super clean romwipe and reflash with the latest CM9, and I am immediately (mind you, super clean) bombarded with sleeping issues, a hot phone, and practically no working bluetooth. And the phone will feel sluggish. The only way to make battery life decent is by putting it into powersave mode (122/122) and hope for the best. I was finally able to get 2 days of battery life out of it, but at a huge cost of not being able to answer any phone calls w/in 30 seconds. Using conservative instead, battery life was back to 10% an hour and the phone feels super sluggish. zram, purging assets, different frequencies, changing conservative, ondemand, etc. Nothing. To those wondering, there probably really is a sleeping bug (my phone will stay wide awake every so often until reboot) and something in the background that the devs still have not figured out yet.

Now i'm back on xquizit. Yes, gingerbread, boohoo, but I can get, without trying, 3 days battery life with ondemand and 122/1024, and it seriously feels faster than ICS. oh, and wifi calling works, sip works, wifi will stay awake, phone runs ice cold, bluetooth 100% functioning, camera 100% functioning, and i typically have 190-200mb of free ram. No supercharging, nothing. all this from a custom rom largely abandoned 5 months ago.

So this should serve as a warning to those who want to dabble with CM9: this is a BETA ROM. THERE ARE BUGS. Don't expect a miracle or a beautifully working OS like I did. The devs are doing this for free. They are doing this on their free time. They are doing this because they want to, not because we want them to, so again, don't expect much from CM9. Props to everyone who is supporting this cause, but if you are like me looking for a phone that is 100% reliable instead of a tweaker project phone, stick with gingerbread, like rebelrom, xquizit, or peach sunrise. The whole tweaking thing is fun, but i'm done for now. I just want a working phone. And now I have it.

Thanks for the ride, guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
How did you guys remove Google Now? I thought I'd have to do a ROM wipe, re-install CM9, re-install gapps lite, then re-install all of my apps. Do you have a quicker way?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Just wipe /system and install the ROM then gapps. I never perform ROM wipe if it doesn't involve switching ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Seriously, I just posted something a few days ago. Replace the google now package in system/app with the one at the link in the post. Tell me if the link doesn't work.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Or a simpler method is to replace the lite package of gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
From what iv heard you can actually port CM9 into CM10 with everything except project butter

I tried but it wouldn't boot.

If anyone wants to take a shot at it here's the guide

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
Thanks. What part of my configuration will I lose by doing that? Any of my CM9 settings, or homescreens, or ...?

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

I thought I'd read in a previous post that doing that wasn't safe. Too much information to process. :) I'm hesitant to do something like that since I don't know exactly how the packages work.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
360 turnaround after only a day/AGAIN

OK unfortunately today was not good. After a reboot FCs out the ying yang and the phone froze up several times (yes I checked to make sure V6 settings had stuck!). Finally I said s**t on it and selected the "undo everything" option in V6. Then I restored Auto Killer and selected all the tweaks, and the tweaks in system settings (zRam, etc). Lag free again and no FCs.

So a final solution, although not the one I thought it would be. To those who want to continue to sing the praises of V6 no offense, but you get what you pay for. Two failures by this script is enough. Now maybe on a better phone V6 would be great, IDK.

Bluetooth works on 08-26 update

Bluetooth working again. Works on carrier calls and on Talkatone and Groove IP. I had been sticking with the 8-10 version because Bluetooth was more important to me than the flash working for the camera. But now I've got both.

In a small amount of testing the new update, I haven't seen any issues so far.

Thanks for the hard work.

Restore CM9 Settings?

Hi everyone,

I've mentioned repeatedly I'm a newbie so I have a few newbie questions before I flash the latest.

First off, this past weekend I spent some time fine-tuning the settings of CM9. Is there a way to preserve/restore the settings between ROM upgrades? I google'd around and searched this thread and I didn't find anything relevant.

Second, to upgrade and not affect my data (and any applications installed), do I simply:

Format /system

Wipe cache/dalvik

Install zip from sdcard

Thanks a lot!

-pablo

ps: In the past, I've been doing a ROMwipe and re-installing all the applications, re-tweaking all the settings. I don't mind re-installing the applications but the ROM tweaks I'd like to restore quickly. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Wipe cache and dalvik, then install. If you are using CWM 6, then select wipe cache, then advanced and then wipe dalvik. Install and reboot. BTW one good thing about installing a new build is that those who want to get rid of Google Now this will do it. I should mention I installed that on its own, not part of the Gapps package in the OP. I'm noticing so far there is much more free memory without it. So I'm leaving that out, since I didn't use it and it never seemed to quite jell with this phone. Google Now is meant for more advanced devices that use Jellbean anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
What tweaks did you make with auto killer? I've been having a lot of trouble with force closing and long loading, lag etc. the last couple days, kind of driving me nuts... Don't really want to go the v6 route, wondering what tweaks you made to get it smooth again.

Also 18% for zRam is what most are using, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Use "optimum" setting in Auto Killer, then select all 10 tweaks under "advanced" (you must get the paid version for this part, and for the settings to set on boot). Don't select "Chuck Norris mode" though. Check the enable advanced options box. Then in performance in CM9 settings, yes set zRam to 18%, and select both of the other options as well (kernel samepage and purging). So far this is still working very well. If it still works tomorrow and the next day I will be happy, as V6 fooled me for a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Perhaps it's time to upgrade to CWM 6 too. :)

Thank you for your post.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Just updated to newest build of CM9 no wipes this time. Update was easy and no fc's. Camera seems smoother and no stutters with barcode reader and scanlife unlike what sometimes happened in past builds. Bluetooth connects to sgs3 with ease. Wifi on secure net connects flawless and seems to get signal stronger than before. Calls no issues though haven't tried speaker phone as that did have bad static to other party in previous builds.

Edit: the speakerphone is much better clearer than previous. Multi tasking is smooth even while streaming a Netflix movie and running dolphin at same time. No fc to report. Running v6 latest build test 4 and chainfire3d with unroll texture. Games are smooth that I tried. Side by side to sgs3 this is very close to same performance though slightly slower. Sgs3 is completely stock and only half day old.

Shorts is this is by far the fastest most stable build. No flash in video recorder but doesn't matter to me. Have yet to see battery drain as I have on charger while running every app I have on this phone.

Once again am amazed @ jocala. Kudos as hallways and welcome back from hiatus
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Wifi calling

Have to say it's worse than it was. Calls won't go through and it won't let me turn it off. I had to use Titanium Backup to freeze it. It's not essential for me anyway. Just keep in mind if anyone else wants to be rid of it, only freeze it, don't uninstall it. That will cause the system to crash as I found out the hard way.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi jocala,

I flashed the ROM this morning. I haven't done exhaustive testing however overall, I don't see any regressions. There are a couple of carry-over issues from the previous drop:

Reckless Racing Lite fails to start - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.polarbit.RecklessRacingLite

Torch still doesn't work

Flashlight HD does light up the LED however it pulses (about every three seconds) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.smalltech.ledflashlight.free

Updates

So far the ROM is performing very well. First time accessing Gmail after upgrade, the application crashed when I drilled in to view a message. After restarting Gmail, no issues.

I can't imagine making any supercharger changes yet because it is performing very well. Perhaps when I get a smidgen of time. :)

The recovery posted in that forum does not work on our phone. (That specific build of it)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rovert:
After a few installations of CM9 on my phone I am finally happy with the outcome. :D Battery life has been great. Using it throughout the day with LCD on for 1.5 hours and so far in 10 hours it's still at 70%. How did I do it? I wiped everything to start from scratch short of formatting all my info on my micro SD card. Boot in recovery and installed the latest CM9 as of this post along with the google apps "lite" package. As someone said there's just not enough RAM to accommodate Google Now. Once I had the most recent CM9 installed I installed software so I could V6 it. I haven't installed any other memory/battery/wireless apps. I've left everything on as I have always done with my phones. Wifi takes a lot less power than mobile data and I've never had a problem leaving WiFi engaged on my Android and Apple mobile phones. That's it!

Oh I narrowed down what causes manual installation of APK files to ignore the "install" button yet the "cancel" button still works. It's Soft Buttons Lite which controls the 4 capacitive buttons below the screen. Once I had either "stopped" the service or uninstalled it, the install button worked again.

I'm a happy CM9 user SO FAR within a few days of fooling around. I guess I'll be able to really tell after a week of use but I'm optimistic.

Flashed over from 812 build with gapp-lite. This 826 build is very smooth. I have all performance settings on default and it feels like its as smooth as running V6 supercharger on GB ROM.

Two things I noticed:

1 - Google Play still does not recognize correct Device I.D. It should display "Samsung Exhibit 2 4G". When you do a review or search your device in the app review section you should see your device. Actually, other utility apps are showing incorrect device I.D. as well.

2 - The audio seems to have a noticeable hissing sound, especially with equalizer turned on. I've even uninstalled DSP and it's still the same. Fusion music player has only 1 equalizer preset in CM9, yet there are 7 presets available in GB ROMs - very odd.
