Dreaming. Far from the "project butter" feel you'll notice on 4.1. But yes this build feels smoother and cleaner to me as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I was a big Go Launcher advocate up until last week when I decided to try Nova. I have to say it's a better launcher to compliment CM9. It's very fast and has yet to lag on me at all. Go Launcher was redrawing quite a bit after I made the switch from Rebel to CM9. The icing on the cake is that Go themes work with Nova. Liked it enough I bought the paid version. Just my take.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
There's a theme for 4.1 on the market

It gives you all the visual effects of 4.1 seems quite nice

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cm9.theme.JBstock
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sorry, no etas, but 4.0.4 -> 4.1 isn't that great a leap. I certainly hope to be building it in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Agreed. I think a lot of people want it because it's the latest, not the greatest. I hope you & Arco continue your focus on taking CM9 from "beta" to "final". That appears to be a closer reality now more than ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Howdy,

This afternoon I tried the latest CM9 ROM and it's quite a bit faster than the July 4th drop. Excellent. It's not as fast (perhaps it's not intended) as RebelROM. If it's helpful, I still notice a considerable lag when I start Assistant with CM9 versus RebelROM.

As others have reported, my camera isn't functional.

It'd be super nice if there was an option to keep the buttons at the bottom lit as with RebelROM. :)

I hope the above testing information is helpful.

Cheers,

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] HeavyYeti:
Must say the latest build is just fantastic. My phone is zooming by now. It's absolutely amazing that the majority of Androids on the Market are not and probably won't see the beast that is ICS. It beats the hell of anything iOS. I'm a true believer in Android now after seeing CM9.

I take it the last large block is camera functionality? Jocala, is there anything YOU want us to look at on our end?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] strtkempo:
Thanks jocala for supporting this device! Keep up the good work!

Fearless tester here let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DCSlick:
I gotta disagree. Being an iOs guy for the last 6 years I can say that android, on this device, does NOT compare to iOS. Android on some of the higher end phones beats ios out of the water. But on this particular device I have my reservations. It's not meant to be a competitor. Now with that being said, I love android moreso than ios. Just again, not on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
Are you referring to google now? Does it work with RebelROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi,

Is your question regarding my point about "Assistant"? If so, I'm sorry for being unclear. Below is the URL to Assistant:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speaktoit.assistant&hl=en

As I indicated, Assistant works with CM9 and RebelROM, it's considerably slower starting on CM9 than RebelROM.

Thanks a lot for asking!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] briot12:
Okay, you bought an entry-level $200 no contract phone that lacks long-term support. Android is a direct competitor in the smartphone and tablet market.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
I got that on JB. I think its the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Love the latest build, but noticed a problem...

Last thing I did before I went to sleep was unplug the charger (battery was at 100%). I slept for 10+ hours, like a boss. I woke up once after about 6 hours, turned on phone and wifi had dropped. Connected as soon as I turned it on and then got a bunch of notifications (proving wifi actually was off). When I woke up; same instance. This was NOT like the issue from about a month and a half ago when wifi actually had to be turned off and back on to reconnect.

This was the drain overnight with about 4 minutes of actual usage:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] samusishere:
Which theme are you using?

and I too am having the problem with DSP distorting audio. Has anyone come up with a fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Mixer ICS, with Sony Sketch font.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Generally, I don't find rom vs rom shootouts or "lag" reports that interesting. The results are way too subjective, and you never really know if the environment the presenter is running is clean. There are just too many variables.

I keep every rom running my kernel for the Galaxy Exhibit current and ready-to-install via cwm restore. Speaking personally (subjectively!) I don't see much speed difference between them, certainly not enough to make a difference to the average user.

In the case of the particular piece of software you reference (Speaktoit Assistant); I tried it on CM9, Peach, Rebel & deodexed stock. I discounted initial startup, figuring that the app needed to build a cache; but second start seemed pretty much a wash.

Nice app though, thanks for pointing it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Howdy,

Thank you for the investigation. I agree that ROM to ROM comparison isn't always a reason for action.

Perhaps it's worth investigating to determine why building the cache with CM9 takes longer than RebelROM. Perhaps it's a class issue which when optimized can lead to all-around faster response.

Cheers,

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Just came from peach, again. I'm seeing good-ish performance (better than gb even peach) not complaining :) but does anyone know how to take a screenshot without going through the power dialogue box? :confused: maybe a set of buttons?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
I dont know if its true for all builds but from another site: "The screenshot taking function is built into ICS. Hold volume down + power.".

I dont know if itd help or not but arco did make several changes to the audio recently.

Also loto changes to cam cant wait to see what we get next build.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I mentioned this issue on Sunday, and the fix I had was to freeze DSP and use Volume+ which has the same effects. Works perfectly.

Others are reporting issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
ok guys, tried to back up my rom since i had to use a new sd card, but every time I try to make a back up, this happens. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Try reformatting your card.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I'm thinking you ran out of space to backup, my ROM backups are usually around 1GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
If formating doenst work might wana look at free space. i know my backup was 1.3GB and i dont really have alot, says you have 600MB. I dont know if id say free space or not but it looks like its backing up just fine till it gets to data.Could be out of space at that point? idk though just a thought.

Edit: yea me too dennis mine was 1.3 and i dont have that many apps and stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
OK so this phone has about 900 MB of internal free space right? Well I tried to figure out what's using those 300 megs but I can't find the source.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
Great, hate doing that. Well if I have too......
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Woah there... backup to external, not internal. That there's your problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] strogg:
Excellent rom so far. It's definitely getting a bit better a every time. It's amazing you guys aren't burnt out by it yet. Anyhow, 2 things I should report in lieu of not seeing it posted yet. 1: I'm not getting voice or sound over wifi calling or sip. It's not a major issue. I only use wifi calling to text, and I have all calls forwarded to a sip trunk at home anyway which i set up to spoof my cell number's CID. So again, no worries on that part. On the other hand, the oh-so-beaten-to-death issue of battery life has taken a big spin for me the past week of build or so. As a note, I pretty much stopped using my phone after the wifi got turned on again. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DCSlick:
wifi calling using sipgate and sipdroid working just fine here. Outbound and inbound calls. Battery life is meh but I run a lot of ****. Something odd tho, the battery percentage just went from 37% to 6% on me in under a minute. Just happened once and about 30 mins ago but it was very odd. Phone isn't hot nor over heating, it was only running google play in the foreground with the screen on. I was looking at it as it changed drastically because I was changing songs. Just a weird one to me
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Faultyy:
Jocala I'm going to attempt a build. Which ubuntu build is best for development?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
I'm not jocala but Ubuntu 10.10 seems the best. I ran into some build problems on x64 with libcrypto files not being found so if you wanna use x64 bit use 11.10 or 12.04
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] HeavyYeti:
Posting this...

I'm getting the same distortion with DSP Manager, although at first I wasn't. Music was playing excellent for about five minutes using Apollo then suddenly the distortion kicked in. I'm not using any outside audio files or drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Whydoes the build prop of cm9 reference to gingerbread kernel? I find this kind of odd. Does this mean cm9 is using gb kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
I dont see what your talkin about, but cm does use GB kernel in the sence that its 2.6.35 just like gb stock is...but the kernel isnt really specific to any version of android, sometimes you have to make changes for compatibility(like jocala did) but its still the same version. As far as i know. And the only thing i see that references to GB is the ro.build.description and ro.build.fingerprint which i belive is just identifying our phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Oh OK my bad
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
I flashed this zip file located here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29646975&postcount=2500 after flashing gapps on a new cm9 install and now I have a fully functional Google Now :)

Hey Jocala, I got a question, its about storage, so i use app2sd but the storage for my SD card on there always reads "1.68" gigs available, I'm using a 8 gig so is there anyways to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Hi not jocala but im pretty sure it because it uses the internel storage for app2sd so you would have to use something like the swapsd zip jocala made, which i believe hasn't been updated to work with recent changes?(depending on which version you're on.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] interessant:
Fixed by uninstall and reinstall of Gmail.

-sent from outerspace
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
I didn't know it used the internal, if that's true then its fine, I was just confused since I assumed "move to SD card" actually meant it moved it to your external card.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Pretty sure it works just like stock, where the internel storage is "SD card" and external is "USB Storage".
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:

Nice job! The ROM looks great. I will run it for a few days and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Ya I ported the one that works from another rom into aopk the one that doesn't work well is the one I compiled from source. I can't get it to recognise any GSM hardware at all and the screen has weird graphics after you turn it off and back on. I'll look into it tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
Well yea I just thought that it was going to my external since its already on my internal memory prior to moving, idk i never really looked into the process so I just assumed "move to sd card" meant the external.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
[delete post]swap sd?

delete (dont use swapsd zip)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
Looks like replacing it also did the trick
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
This was addressed in a post a day or so ago. Look under Settings->Storage->Storage.Configuration,

cm9 handles the swap for you, AFAIK, SwapSD isn't needed for Cyanogen, if that's mistaken I'll re-do the app for the new cm9 config. But try the built-in function and let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
I knew it was mentiond didnt know/realize/remeber that cyanogen does it, sorry. Thats pretty cool. I was just wondering does internal and external mount on pc when you plug it in or just w.e. is externel at the time?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
builders!

Please take note:

Arco was ssh'ed into my build system doing an audit, trying to correct some camera build problems and made an interesting discovery: cm9 does not like its device and vendor directories symlinked! This is a very odd thing, but there you are. Currently the build instructions one-down from the OP have both vendor and device folders symlinked to:

system/device/samsung/ancora_tmo
system/vendor/samsung/ancora_tmo

where ancora_tmo is a symlink pointing to the real directory. For whatever reason when building the cameraHAL the build chokes on symlinks. So, make sure that the vendor and device directories under system are true directories, not symlinks pointing elsewhere.

I'll try to remember to update the build instructions this weekend. If you are not building your own cm9, ignore this post :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
I dont know if its just me or not but some of the "patches" dont download.idk but maybe wana make note of those too while you're there. Happened just recently not sure why. Probably something i did but, also side note might wana change how to get java, if i remeber right the canonical repo doesnt have java anymore? Or maybe thats just newer ubuntu versions. Or just java 7? i dont remeber.

Anyways so since we cant link can we setup github for the device/vendor in the system folder or would that not work? Was so simple to update like it was.

In light of this discovery, i have updated my build scripts.( not that anyone used them anyways, but i have too much time on my hands lol)

Running either one will check for the symlinks and remove them and copy the real folder in its place. So if you have your env setup already or not it'll fix it.

Idk if theres any other way to go about this or not this should work and if jocala comes up with any easier/less time consuming way(dont have to delete and copy the folders every time) ill update again.

links beta 3(copies folder every time, most likely to work):

cm9ancorarepo.sh = http://d-h.st/ggg

cm9ancorasyncandbuild.sh = http://d-h.st/Czz

links beta 4(makes github folder for device/vendor in /android/system/*where ever they are supposed to be*) is what jocala changed to:

cm9ancorarepo.sh = http://d-h.st/bt2

cm9ancorasyncandbuild.sh = http://d-h.st/0QY
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
Wow!

Just installed the working Google Now. SICK! Thanks Jocala and team!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
My patches refuse to download as well report syncing always removes the patches it seems and my cherry picking command doesn't work either

This is why my graphics and phone are all screwed up on my AOKP build I assume

For Java I found a guide that tells you how to install it from the .bin file on oracles website.

The repo for Java doesn't work at all for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] N3Ti:
I always follow this guide for setting up environment till I get device specific part.

https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=b3bff0d42ae1e534&id=B3BFF0D42AE1E534!107

It explains each step in detail with explanation. It includes all dependancies and Java.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
You're doing something wrong if cherry-picking doesn't work. Re-apply patches after a repo sync :)

from the instructions: Apply these patches after a repo sync

Hi

When you use the reposync.txt from the new instruction you have to first cd ~/android/system right?

works nicely, thanx :D

btw not tryin to be pushy or anything just kinda helpin spell check? lol

i often wonder if i should have made half the posts that i have(such an "xda noob", that vid is awsome, anyways sorry)

Also on the topic of building does building work with current source? For some reason my camera hal didnt build even though i removed the symlinks and moved the folders. Just wondering if that because you guys are still workin on it or not. (my current build env doesnt have much free space just have it for checking my scripts )

Also on the topic in camerahal/CameraHardwareInterface.h line 237 is "virtual void takeLiveShapshot() = 0;" should that be "virtual void takeLiveSnapshot() = 0;"?

Updated build script to be same as jocalas update

links beta 5:

cm9ancorarepo.sh = http://d-h.st/RU9

cm9ancorasyncandbuild.sh = http://d-h.st/qVY

after those run all you need to do is:

cd ~/android/system
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
Select '5'
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch ancora_tmo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sorry you're having trouble, building works fine with current source. Please double-check your build environment, making sure you have updated kernel, device & vendor sources & binaries.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
ah ok, thanx, i might try and fix it, probably just out of room, before i start the build im at like 99% used space, ill resync and what not when i make it bigger, just workin on the scripts for now nobody really uses em so ill probably stop but it keeps me busy :D lol
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DCSlick:
People use them, they just don't report back. Set up a server and make your script ping that server everytime they run it. You'll see. Plus...some people are GUI babies. If it doesn't have pictures like a 1st grade book they won't use it. So yea
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I agree. If nothing else, you're learning nix scripting by doing. Keep it up!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Yea thats an interesting idea (about the ping) might try that just because. but yea i can see on dev host how many time and its at 0 i dont really care.(didnt think anyone would anyways)I just might stop cause i dont wana make any more clutter. It is a learning experience, though i kinda already knew most of it, its a start though. And gui that maybe a good i dea too :P although something like that kinda already exists, not sure if it supports unofficial builds.

deffinitly wouldnt mind any pm's with idea/thoughts. Maybe i could edit the script so that it asks for the device/vendor/kernel githubs or uses like a config file dont know if that possible in a script though hmmm . That way it could be used for any device. that and maybe a gui might be my next adventure. :P
