Neither Facebook or T-Mobile contacts are supported by CyanogenMod, AFAIK.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ETFoneHome:
You probably have been using the stock T-mobile backup app from the phone. It's on google play - just search for "T-Mobile Contacts." I don't know if it works for cm9.

If it doesn't work and you have a lot of contacts then probably going back to previous rom or nanadroid backup and then re-sync your contacts to google contact is better. You may already have been doing that if you check the setting on the account and sync section of your phone. If you don't have a lot of contacts then just manually type it in on the web with your PC or lappy is faster. Your google contact is located in your gmail page, upper left pulldown menu along with google task.

I have the 6/11 rom installed after full romwipe and aside from what I posted last time haven't had all the freeze and reboots posted by others until today. I finally enabled bt in the car for a call and after call ended it froze. Screen remained on until hard reboot while battery drained quick. I'd assume the bt stack isn't that good on 6/11 release even though last month it was OK.

I have found the 0605 build to be stable for me. All the later builds froze up or rebooted on me while restoring my apps from Google play or within the first hour of use.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DCSlick:
Me too man...Just started happening with the last two builds. The previous build wasn't so bad because I didn't always notice the phone rebooting. Now it shuts down hard and reboots when I'm in the middle of something. Even typing a text message it rebooted twice. Kinda flaky last build 626

I'd like to recommend a program called Easy Installer, it scans your SD Cards for orphaned .apk files and allows you to install them.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] CooLoL1999:
No offense but does anyone know how to fix my problem(battery drain) :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Battery draining is determined by how many processes you have running, and how your phone is configured. If you have a lot of apps installed, I suggest uninstalling the ones you don't need, especially ones that can be easily accessed through a web browser. Also, clean up your home screen of unnecessary widgets, they drain a lot of battery because they are constantly updating.

I'd also recommend running a few of the scripts by zeppelinrox. First, install Script Manager. Then download these: V6 SuperCharger, Kick Ass Kernelizer, [Optional] 3G Turbo Charger. Put them somewhere on your SD card, and access them from the Script Manager (run as root by pressing the skull icon when you click on the file). Run them one by one, just choose the options best fit for you. If you need help, do ask.

Full rom wipe, Xquizit superwipe on top... Davlik cache, everything. Still.. No mod to the OS, clean install.. And dead.

Back to the 05/28 build... ;----;

Could anyone hint me to anything I could be doing wrong? D:

Also... Android 4.1/Jelly Bean..? Anyone? lol

Aaand I would like a walkthrough of how to install V6 supercharger... I've done evrything and it still seems to cause even more lag...

I am reporting no problems, other than those listed in the OP, with the last three series of commits. No reboots, no lagging. I now get at least a day of use. I use wave launcher, with about fifty apps installed. I use csipsimple nightlies to keep two sip accounts going. This rom has been so stable I have been experimenting with S-voice. The apks on XDA don't work well but the zip floating around out there works great on this rom.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
The plate is full with getting CM9 up to snuff. Many of wish we could help more but we don't have the know-how. We just try to keep a positive attitude for all concerned.

I don't get the fixation on CM7.

Sure, I suppose ports of CM7 enjoy current activity but that's probably resting on a large installed base of older-model phones. Very unlikely that a skilled developer will take an interest in porting a deprecated OS (OK, flame me for that one) onto a niche budget-minded phone. Shoot, we can't even get a forum.

Let us rejoice we have skilled devs for the Exhibit.

The Galaxy Exhibit is a niche player. It's no powerhouse. We like it a lot, but let's be honest. CM9 >> CM7

--

I have no problem with theme chooser. I'm using Mixer ICS theme. Which I would never have found probably without this forum. Thanks, whoever it was!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
OK so here are my questions. If I reinstall jocalas cm9 port again, then ill find theme chooser in my app drawer and I can use all the "cm7" themes? Cause when I went to theme settings in the settings a while back when I had his rom installed, it said this feature was unavaliable for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
Well my only question is if theme chooser is on this rom. I've been trying to get my status bar looking like classic droids for a long time without success, but if I can just install the "Retro Droid" theme on theme Chooser, then I'm good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] strogg:
Ok, another update I'm going to share to the devs based on the latest build.

---Battery life is the same as it was for a while. I can get a day's charge on intermittent use of internet. 2 days without any use of the web.

---Bluetooth issues actually came back, but it's probably issues general compatibility. Although I hear choppiness in the voice, it will go away over time. And when Ford's sync tries to send/receive packet data over the voice connection, it does so just fine.

---I had random freezes with the first june build for ONLY 2-3 days. After I flashed to the new one, I got one but that's it. Every time it happened it was due to the phone call being started or finished.

---Pandora works 100%!

---Phone is a lot faster on this build.

---Since the June builds started, I never had to wait for the phone to "wake up" before I can enter my unlock pattern. Sooooo much better now that I don't have to worry about waiting and the screen timing out before the touch sensors activate.

---If anything, my zero cell phone reception at home has gone to next-to-none. I can sorta reliably text now.

---Wifi calling is more stable, but still no voice for me.

Hope this helps.

Keep up the good work guys!

WPA and WPA2

Is the wireless setting on CM9 coded differently from GB? I can use both WPA and WPA2 on this ROM.

However, on all GB 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 ROMs I can't get WPA to work, it just keeps connecting and disconnecting and never gets a signal. WEP and WPA2 works fine. Very odd. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:

It may help with the camera.(all the changes are camera related) Or it could just be a bunch of crap.

In total i made 9 changes, honestly at least 2 i already think i could just revert but im just gonna let Jocala decide as they are more experienced. As far as the other changes they could be an improvement they could be the opposite i do not know yet.

I'm no camera coder, but am I correct that you're trying to trim code you think unnecessary (modified HTC code)? Have you tried a build?

I dont think im gonna give up just yet though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ninjames:
So I still don't quite get the radios on this phone. Doing ten tests in one spot in the house, my phone will have only one bar or no bars with "3G" being displayed. I'll come in at around 900 Kb download and 400 Kb upload. Actual speeds when downloading are far below this (which is totally understandable).

But then I turn on the Wifi tether, like the Barnacle Wifi tether, and the phone I guess detects it needs the extra juice and I pick up the "H" signal as opposed to 3G. It's full or almost full, and running a speed test on the phone will get me around 4MB down and 1MB up. In the same exact spot as before.

Why doesn't my phone default to using that radio? I know the signal is great, it just prefers to grab the terrible 3G signal no matter where I'm at. Can I force it to use HSPA(+?) when available without having to have Barnacle turned on? This is doing ten speed tests in both configurations at very different spots in my house and they're all like that, so it's not a placebo or anything.

Come on guys. This thread is for the CM9 build that Jocala graciously and laboriously makes available to us, asking nothing in return except that we do not ask for ETAs! That should mean we also do not make repeated requests for other ROMs. He spends a considerable amount of his free time improving this phone, and no doubt he would enjoy having JB someday as much as any of us. Perhaps someday it will be within the realm of real possibility and he will build it and post it here for you. The sad thing is that probably no matter what is said, some folks still will want for gratefulness and contentment, and will still be asking for AOKP, MIUI, and by then probably AOSP Key Lime Pie. Enjoy CM9 and forget about the ROMs not available on this phone unless you plan to build or port them yourself. We don't have Devs sitting on their hands wondering what project to work on.

Oh, and if you really must have Jelly Bean, order a Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 7 for yourself.

Maybe a silly suggestion, but you could put them on screen and make a screenshot. CM9 has a nice method for that. You then copy the png to your PC or Flickr, etc. Then you wouldn't have to remember to preserve your SMS data which you might accidentally flash over one day. Just an idea.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Well, you got CWM flashed so that's a good first step. Have you successfully flashed any ROM at all?

I ask because ROM files are large compared to the two 'good' files you mentioned.

Myself, I have problems with large downloads (not always). Because of this, I use my desktop PC for large downloads. Then I shut down my phone, pull my SD from the phone, stick it in the PC and copy files to it. Seems like extra work, but that's how I do it. I keep a copy of my downloaded ROM on the PC for future use. I have about twenty iterations of CM9 plus about ten other Exhibit ROMs (Peach, RR, ExquiziT).

That aside, I suggest you do a couple of quick checks:

1) Check your downloaded ROM's file sizes.

2) calculate a checksum for each of your your downloaded ROMs.

I'm not sure how to do checksum on the phone but there must be an app for that or a command you can execute. I rarely do checksums; if I do I use the PC/Linux. Chances are your ROM file sizes are too small. You won't have to bother with checksums.

Has anyone been having problems with the download of the ROM completing?

I am downloading from the d-h.st/ArF link and it runs really slow, then usually fails at about 50%. I've tried on two different networks and two different devices (both laptops running Win 7) so I doubt the issue is on my end.

Side comment : Have used both Peach Sunrise and RebelROM with my Exhibit II and both seem to work well. RebelROM needs to tweak the theme because there is black text on black background in places and the WiFi cuts out at times, but works really well in other respects.
