After messing with this ROM for awhile it seems as though it's ready for prime time. It seems to be 100% stable and working aside from the camera and perhaps the USB tethering. Wifi tethering works now whereas it would not on the 0626 version.

Hopefully the devs can focus on the camera now. I think it will only be a matter of weeks before this ROM goes final. Great work devs! I'm seeing some serious progress!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Kamatari+:
I agree, this is realistically the best rom I've ever used. Period. Even in its beta stage I won't abandon the from for stock.

No. I'm not doing any camera work, but I assure you that the people who are aren't being tricked by simple things :)

Read the OP and don't forget to reboot after playing with the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfroehlich:
This is not unique to CM9... all the ROMs for this phone show around the same amount of memory. In fact, my new Galaxy Nexus shows about 700MB and it is has 1GB of RAM. So I'm thinking this is normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Kamatari+:
I've never paid it much mind until recently. Had to make sure the reading was right and not mysteriously removing 200mb of memory.

July 4th ROM - a bit sluggish starting apps

Hi,

As I've indicated before, I'm new to Smartphones. My buddy set up my phone with RebelROM. It is nice however the current theme is busted so I thought I'd shop around. :)

This week I found CM9. I like many of its features. What I've noticed though is starting applications is a bit sluggish. For example, starting `Assistant' takes a few seconds compared to RebelROM.

Is anyone else seeing similar?

I've tried goofing with the CPU governor (setting it to `Performance') but that didn't make a difference.

Cheers,

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfroehlich:
This phone is a touch slow for ICS/CM9, but the recent builds fly compared with a couple of months ago. Granted GB is still faster, but ICS is so beautiful we don't even notice :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Hey, jocala

Rember that linaro thing? The cm9 performance boosts. Did any of that get added into cyanogen mod sources ever?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hotsauce126:
I'm happy with this as it is

I'm still on the 4/11/12 build as I haven''t had any issues with it (I could never go back to stock, this is so much better)

But out of curiosity, since some people are asking about Jellybean/CM10, is it possible that there would be something in the code when its released that would make it easier to get the camera to work on that rather than ICS?

Sorry if its a dumb question, I know nothing about android development, but I was just curious if that was a possibility
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Thank you for your responses regarding speed. It's good to get independent confirmation. :)

Questions Answered

@IRX120 As far as i can see (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/dashboard/1935) only some of the changes have made it in and alot are are still under review.

@hotsauce126 As far as i know the camera works the same way so we wont get a fix, but it should mean once we get it working in cm9 should be easy to change to jellybean.

@Jocala nvm bad idea https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=19tryqN7DemnzzmugpMnutPWQCydmxQDRE1hr_36Qslg

gotta go for now ill try and add more about this later.

as of now, the rom 07 04? is it, the newest one we got here, is much more stable than that 0626? it was freezing and crashing and reboots, so far phones been on for 24 hours and 0 issues,
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SickBeast:
The 0704 ROM seems *much* more stable than the 0626 one. I honestly can't believe how much they fixed in one week.

The only thing I notice is a lot of battery drain but it could be because of bad calibration after the flash. I'll report back in a few days with more conclusive results.

Thanks again devs, this ROM is fantastic!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
I'm not Jocala but that's interesting... wonder if we enabled swap and stuck a 512MB swap partition on the SD card that it would think otherwise...? Can't try this until tomorrow at the earliest, though.

Hey I just installed the latest cm9 and its great just wondering if anyone else noticed that the camera started showing up in the preview part of the camera app but won't take a pictures the app freezes after you try to take one
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Yes... we all have that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SickBeast:
Hey is there any chance we can overclock our CPU? I have a feeling we could hit 1.8ghz seeing as people are hitting that high on the Galaxy W and it has pretty much the same CPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
We could but trying to achieve a stable working rom first. Jocala has made vast improvements toward that but i think they want to make it better first. (Thats what i think anyways up to jocala)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
Well, you could be right but I'm coming at this from strictly a memory management perspective. A page fault is a page fault. If Linux swap is on and configured, Android will treat it as (virtual) memory and swap real storage in and out of it. If it is a RAM issue, that may do something. On the other hand, it may do squat...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] EwanG:
Anyone figured out how to get Google Now working on our phones, or will that come with the CM10 update? When this moves to CM10 will the thread be renamed, or will a new thread be started?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jaysonr35gtr:
There is a thread in XDA somewhere where they made it work for AOSP ICS roms only.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wolfie1_0:
Oh the last ROM I tried nothing but panorama in the camera app so that means that its getting close to working?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
It requires a over clock module to be in the kernel. I have absolutely no idea how to make one but I'm sure its possible. The Motorola triumph can over clock to 1.8 and I belive it has a 1ghz cpu
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] skyrmion:
If you Google something like this phones Id and 'google now' you would find that it does work on our phone. There are instructions out there on how to install it, and successful installation reported in this thread two days ago, as good news only. Since this thread is about cm9 development for this phone, how individual apps work or whether they do at all is of no significance, unless they reveal a weakness in the rom. I'm a little touchy, been following the Google now hack only to watch it lose focus because people won't read the OP. Please, Google now works on this rom, on this phone, as reported before, without voice. Do your homework for just rewards, and Google before you post. We keep losing devs because noobies don't even try.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SickBeast:
Yeah I'm hoping we can get overclocking working on this phone because I think it has huge potential. Hopefully one of the devs knows how to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] arth_ur:
overclock

Sgw kernels do work on the Galaxy Exhibit (if you use a Sgw baseband to).

I think our phone is resonably fast and do not need overclock, for me, battery life is more important. I tried overclock kernels(Sgw) to! They do work and you can overclock up to 1400 not so stable on my phone.

Maybe you could use their methods.

Sorry if these bugs have been reported before:

Phones external speakers sometimes won't turn on. Have to reboot phone.

Sometimes pausing and resuming in Netflix will cause the picture to freeze.

Crackle doesn't seem to work.

T-Mobiles WIFI calling doesn't work. I don't really use it. Just tested it and noticed.

GTA 3 will freeze and reboot the phone.

Talkatone doesn't work.

That's all the issues I have found so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] blotex:
(Noob here, so be gentle.)

I've been following this thread for a bit and was wondering if the rom was stable enough now to use on a daily basis. I'm currently running RebelRom, which is great, but it'd be nice to have ICS. Also, the main reason I'd like to switch to this is to use Onavo Extend, so I was wondering if anyone had used it with this rom already and if it's compatible with it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] interessant:
Not sure about onavo extend but aside from camera its stable enough with the latest from that I don't notice its beta.

i found either way if you use wifi, she uses up alot of battery... so 9 hours or so on battery with wifi on.... thats pretty darn good if you ask me

my phone seems to be good, 12 hour day of mostly idle, a few texts, she was down to about 70% so 0704 is a much better build, way more stable

Multitasking like playing Pandora and viewing web pages (Dolphin HD browser) seems really sluggish compared with the Peach Sunrise rom.

Talkatone works

Go into Talkatone settings/Call Quality and change Audio Playback Stream to Music. I believe that was the setting that worked for me. I can't verify the setting at the moment, but Talkatone was working fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SickBeast:
Ok so I just had my first serious issues with this ROM. I enabled bluetooth which caused the phone first to hang and then it rebooted itself but it could not get past the splash screen. I had to flash back to Gingerbread. I will install the next beta build of this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
Call Quality when set to Standard or Off gives the similar result. Change the audio playback stream to music?

On another note. Crackle seems to be working now?

I also haven't had that external speaker glitch. Must be from a certain app when loaded?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DJ_SpaRky:

the phone will deep sleep with bluetooth off. Stock will deep sleep with all radios on which is why it gets such good battery life. It is a common problem with unsupported phones running cm9. Some have been able to fix this problem. Unfortunately a few things that have been tried have not worked.

I have to say that I am loving the 07/04 update! I no longer have wifi tethering/hotspot issues, though I did have to switch from WPA to WPA2 to get my iPad to connect, and I no longer have to reboot the phone after switching it off and on (before, it would stick at either 'turning off wifi' or 'turning on wifi').

Is there anyway to change the default action of the dialer? When I open it, it goes to the call log instead of the keypad or contacts, also, is the dialer supposed to open after receiving and ending a call? I just find it kind of strange.

Anyone have any luck getting Google Ears to work on our ROM? I've been trying feverishly for about an hour or so to no avail. I've pushed the apk in Root Explorer, tried manually extracting to /system/app and /system/lib. I get it to show up as a widget and I can hit the button to start listening, but I get a second of animation and then freeze. Anyone else trying to use the Jelly Bean apps on our ROM having any luck? So far I've got Google Now, new Gmail, new maps and street view, and that's it.

Talkatone works fine

Did you change the stream type to Music like I mentioned several days ago?

It does not work if you have stream type in Talkatone set to Voice Call. When set to Voice Call, I get a message in Talkatone that says "Cannot initialize playback for stream type Voice Call. Probably your device does NOT support playing audio over this stream. Please go to Call Quality Settings in Talkatone and pick different stream type."

When I change stream type to Music, Talkatone works just fine.

Stability has nothing to do with the camera, that is secondary, auxiliary peripheral device with driver/library issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] samusishere:
A rom is considered unstable until major bugs are worked out. And incremental updates provided for the minor bugs that still exsist. Therefore the rom will most likely not be moved from beta to stable until the camera is fixed seeing how it is considered a major bug and is needs for some major OS functions

I was not referring to how the rom operates on the phone, simply what the requirements are for the rom to be considered stable. At least rom what I've seen
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DJ_SpaRky:
"Stable" as in status not in functionality, I see.
