[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
I see preview and I can still use panorama. Other than that there is no difference in the functionality. Still able to use silent cam for the time being but stock would be a big +. After trying to take a pic with he stock app i hear a shutter sound and then it just freezes, almost as if it takes a picture cant find a place to put it and then crashes type of thing...not sure tho.

EDIT: I see this written in the logcat (dont know how to read one but it looked like it was a camera issue to me)

I don't know that will be possible to use Camera.apk form ICS, because you use HAL wrapper not clean HAL, ICS camera don't know how to "speak" with wrapper that is why not working. Try Pudding Camera from Google Play. For i9001 works quiet ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Wouldn't it be possible to just take all the camera libs and camera. Apk from gingerbread and get cm9 to recognize them?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] oisis:
Part of them yes, but not all, check camera dev i9001 first page, i described the problem there.

Battery life better!

Intermediate update:

I can report better battery life with the patch. Overnight 35% drain after 11 hours. Used to be 65%. Wifi bar usage showing on and off. Used to be on all the time.

Looking good - thanks!

Thanks 4 CM9 ROM

Just wanted to thank Jocola for making my exhibit 4g awesome. I've flashed every ROM I could find for this device and Jocola's stamp seems to be on everyone. CM9, however, took it to the next level. I've had people with the Galaxy S2 and iPhones look down on my exhibit 2 4g, only to drop their jaws in open mouth envy when they see CM9 running. Let's just say some are android green with envy and catching the XDA fever. Please resolve the camera issue - this CM9 is too good to leave unfinished.

Sorry for the long post. I am a noob, but am very grateful to everyone who is working on making the exhibit a monster, especially Jocola.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
Yea I was going to say that, I don't think the camera is actually configured by that file, I think it is just for video.

Pudding Cam

Ive been trying out the various camera apps with the same results as everyone else. Its great to see the progress.

I tried pudding cam. previews well but freezes when you take the picture.

I attached a log from the point of preview, to a few seconds after taking the picture
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Halmoni:
Is the camera able to autofocus?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Has anybody elce noticed downloads sometimes don't show up in the notification bar but still download?

New build seems to be running great!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ninjames:
I notice my phone does run a good bit better when I do a full romwipe. Problem is, I really hate going through the process of fixing all my contact photos when I import them from the SD Card (the pictures are always horrible pixelated, and I have to re-select the picture and crop again), and I hate having to add my Google Accounts and re-set my app layout on my homescreen.

I use Titanium Backup for all my apps, but what about that other stuff? Is there a way to get my homescreen back after a romwipe that's simple? What about the Google Account stuff? And maybe even the contacts?

I have a noticeable lack of understanding on how most of this stuff works .. I'm an expert on sports and headphones, not Android :] ... I've always thought of backing up system apps to be bad since there's new builds and potentially new versions of said apps that I'd be overwriting, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
Does this also include the BT fix in framework?

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] interessant:
I also would like an answer as to what's the best/proper way to:

save contacts

save mms/sms

save layouts/preferences/wifi/bt info

save apps installed ( I know google offers backup sync, but doesn't take into account amazon appstore apps, sideloads, etc.. what can be done to select/unselect google vs other batches? )

save data for the apps

i already have titanium backup pro, but i'm surprised there aren't any quick/simple options to do above instead of having detailed confusing options for everything. titanium should have a dumb mode.

>>Do not enable image stabilization in this app, it will break the stock cam and require a reflash<<

Found an interesting cam app I have been playing with in this thread...

LGCamera

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1089602&d=1338185088

at one point I was able to record three zero byte .mp4 files

I have not been able to take a still picture or a video with this app yet

It seems interesting that this app displays on screen in a video recording mode

these are screenshots I took using android commander.

>>Do not enable image stabilization in this app, it will break the stock cam and require a reflash<<
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
The bluetooth fix was just a test and did not work. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
Try enabling image stabilization to break it, and then go to manage apps and clear data for camera.apk and see if it fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Slacker:
I would reccomend not playing with this app unless you are trying to dev for our camera, just had to reboot to get the stock camera working again, clearing data for both LGcam and stock cam did not fix it.

I had been playing with settings in LGcam and went back to the stock cam and got the old "Could not connect to camera" message, rebooting did fix it though.

in 1280x960 (i think) it tries to record video, the screen stops on a static frame and there is a timer from that app that keeps counting, the result is a zero byte .mp4 and needing to reboot to get stock working again.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
I got the same results and it tryed to record the video but woukd fc or say it failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
Oh well I have broken the camera many times and when I close the app and then clear the data it always fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] PeteM95:
Yeah that happened to me yesterday when I was using chrome, but I switched to dolphin HD and the notification showed up fine.

Sent via smoke signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
I'm using chrome to that's probably what it is.

BTW using 360 Panorama I was able to take a panorama and save it however the camera was a little sluggish
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
I use chrome as well...when this issue happens just lock your phone and unlock it...that seems to do the trick when it happens to me (very rarely)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
I was able to take one panoramic photo with the stock camera and aside from the yellow tint and minor blur it looks really nice. Now when I try to open the camera it just crashes. I've tried clearing the apps data and force stopping it. I'll get a logcat when I get to my computer.

Sorry about not posting that beta ROM yesterday. It's been a really busy weekend and my development keeps getting interrupted.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
If I wanted to make a system app that isnt there auto install on the next flash would i just add it to the appropriate folder in the zip?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Yes. If you wanted to add xyz.apk as a system app, unzip the archive, place xyz.apk in the system/app folder, and rezip the archive. Just fyi, Silent Camera fails for me as a system app. ymmv.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
Thanks (wasn't going to add Silent Camera :) ) was adding the stock cm9 task manager because i don't like the ones on the android market.

Would I be able to add gapps this way as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Add gapps via the link in the OP and via the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
So... I could use your zip as a template for my own flashable zip then right?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Faultyy:
I got stock panoramic to work in the correct color. I didn't change anything, it just worked when I tried it today.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Don_Kronic:
I'm more than happy to do any testing you need. Just let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sure. You should be able to do that with any downloadable rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
gotcha. Too bad you cant add the gapps that way. Would be nice to be able to have one file to flash on a complete restore from stock instead of 2. (BTW i tried adding the gapps this way anyway and the zip wouldnt install :( )
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Google gets cranky when you distribute gapps cooked into a rom. Yet they have no problem with the gapps.zip being distributed. Lawyers :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
Been using the latest build all morning (528). Silent Camera seems to work perfectly with AF and not AS selected, however Gallery crashes over and over and is very slow. Dunno what's going on with that. I did a cache wipe, dalvik wipe, and installed 528 right on top of the cameratest.zip I had installed last night.

Going to try a diff gallery in play store and get back to ya.

....Actually, noticing crashes and slow downs in lots of apps, including the stock settings. Going for a reflash.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
Gotta love google..I just figured out how to put them in my own personal file that is flashable (since i go between peach and this alot and seem to lose my backup files often) now i can just flash it one time and be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Since the last build my battery seems to be working great 5hours moderate use I still have 75%

also hadn't had the phone cut off by itself yet. hopefully that problems been fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
Same.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
After another dalvik and cache wipe and reflashing 528 things are running smooth, but I'm scare to try out the camera again... that's when the trouble started! We'll see, and I'll post back again when my courage is up.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
Help!

Hey, I tried making my own zip file and flashed it but now my phone is screwed :(

I tried getting into recovery a bunch of different ways and couldn't get in so I tried back to stock with odin and everything seemed to go alright but it just boot loops. anybody have any ideas how I can fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Keep trying with Odin it seems you over rote recover.img try Linux terminal to reflash (idk the commands) I think iv heard that some where tho

If all elce fails take it back to Walmart and say it just stopped working I did it when I bricked mine and got a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Hope your vacation went well, Mr. Jocala. Going to OCMD this weekend, myself. Always happy to see you stickin' by us misfits =D

Downloading new build, as we speak. Mostly, to test those perpetual Wi-Fi drops I was experiencing.

Pretty cool to have progress on the camera, even though that's hardly a deterrent for me. I only need it when I see pigs flying! Self-portrait mode can't handle my Schwarzenegger physique, anyway.

I hate to bring up popular questions, especially outside of the grand scheme, but is the wifi calling apk ever a possibility? I rarely use this phone, as a phone, but when I do, I rely on that app. I have zero service inside my home and it actually works. Any other VOIP apps I've used are horrible, but this one is extremely useful. (I figure it's kinda like buying a Kia. You NEED that 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, cuz the car (cellular service) is dog chit.)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
If you mean the stock T-Mob app, the deodexed apk is part of bloat.zip. My understanding is that running under cm9 it has or had issues. You'll have to test it and let us know.

Skype works great for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
I've tried installing the wifi calling apk, to no avail. Just force closes. Oh, well. What's the link to the Samsung Galaxy III? Bahahaha!

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
Did you try getting into recovery with adb?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ikaritensi:
I'm interested as well. I was going to take a stab at this later tonight actually. There are other phones where they have taken the ICS version of WiFi Calling that came out for the Sense and gotten it working (albeit, in most cases its glitchy) for their respective phone... and from what I've read, the respective CM9 builds. We'll see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
AFAIK, VOIP in general is fine on this phone. groove, sipdroid, skype, vonage, afaik, they all are known to work. My skype calls are near-flawless.

Someone posted their experience setting up cm9's native voip via pbxs.org and thought it was great.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
Funny, thats the zip file I was flashing that ALMOST! bricked my phone. Phew! luckily I was able to get back to stock just now. weird odin went thru all the steps but the phone would just boot loop when it rebooted. during the reboot I saw that it was going into the stock recovery robot for just a bit so I hit the menu button and I got to the recovery screen so I looked for the cwm update but could not find it so I did a factory reset and the phone booted up! back in business now!

what I want to know is what the heck I did to that zip to hose my phone so bad?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Piggy backing off my post in the exhibit ii forum, in regards to perpetual failed texts: Had multiple failed (sent) texts just now. Checked "Use only 2G Networks" and they send fine now.

Just throwing it out there, for anyone with the same issue.

Here's the link. T-mob issue not cm9 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Ignore that. Spoke too soon. Is there a way to put network mode in GSM only, on CM9? I assumed that the "Use only 2G networks," served the same purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Oh, for sure! Not a CM9 specific issue, whatsoever. Sorry, for the confusion. This is what I'm referring to, if I lead anyone to believe that:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
Well I will admit that the line between pain and pleasure is very thin indeed, that was over the line for me ;)

jocala, could you take a look at the zip file to see what I did wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ikaritensi:
VOIP Works great. I run Skype and Groove and they both run like a champ both over WiFi and 4g. But as for TMob's WiFi Calling apk, its a no go currently. I tried it a while back but there wasn't enough information out there by the others to steal and get to a working condition for the Exhibit II 4g. Its crazy, yes, but I don't get Text and no calls at my house due to no/very bad service so it would be good to get text at the least.

I will say that its going to be a long night of nandroiding-restoring >_> Because when I tried last week, I wouldn't get it to turn off and the radio coped out... which was a little scary.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
This is my first Android phone and the first one that I have ever done anything to, do when I got that boot loop after flashing peach for the first time I was scared as hell...so I can relate.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] interessant:
I'm not on tmo and have same problem. I use the hint posted earlier to go into Airplane mode to fix it. And if that does not work then I either go into the secret network menu and refresh SMSC .....failing that reboot. I doubt its a career issue...more a phone issue. Cm (or from what i year stock rom) also do not support wcdma only option which I'd love to have.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
My experience has been that this phone has a distinct echo problem over VOIP. Talkatone devs told me it was Samsung being cheap... I have set up and tried everything under the sun and the only apps that actually work consistently with this phone, that I know of, are Skype and Nimbuzz.

Yes, I have Groove and Spare phone and Talkatone and Bria and CSipsimple and Sipdroid... which brings us back to PBXes. If you set up PBXes (as delineated earlier in this thread) via Sipdroid, you can use it in any VOIP app.

I tried it this way with CM9 SIP stack and the echo was just too bad for me.

I am currently using it, though, with Nimbuzz and over Wifi it is the best for me so far. Nimbuzz to Nimbuzz calls use ISAC which is P2P instead of IP, so they are HD. Really good!

As always, YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wilson pickett:
for wi fi calls try bobsled calling.i saw this somewhere in this thread(i think),tried it and liked it.much better than groove.calls are clear,doesn't use minutes.

negatives are,no incoming.

i don't even want tmobile's wifi app on this phone,or the sg2 i sprung for.

just uses your minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] reprapperMC:
I've been able to use Skype with very good quality on Wi-fi and 3-4G data. Zero echo so far also. I was a little worried at first because I could not get incoming calls when the phone was in sleep mode. I thought it may be Wi-fi turning off in sleep mode but Wi-fi was set to always be on. Turns out the problem was with ES Task Manager turning off Wi-fi in sleep mode. I uninstalled the app and can now receive Wi-fi and data calls when the phone is in sleep mode.

I did try sipdroid/pbxes/google voice before going to Skype. I could make outgoing calls fine; however, I never could get incoming calls working. The call would always go straight to voice mail. Also, I could only make calls over Wi-fi. I may have just been missing a setting at that point though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
I just had my phone freeze on me
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Nice. Last time I had a freeze, I Liu Kang bicycle-kicked a stranger at Walmart. No problems since.

Side note: Skype is free? Read a lot of banter about it's VOIP quality, recently. Just curious. I pinch pennies where I can and a secondary line for outgoing calls would be pretty sweet. Read too many negatives about Google Voice, when pertaining to this phone.

*Sorry, thought this was the general exhibit ii forum. I blame Hops.*
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
Yes, I think I brought up Bobsled earlier. It's pretty good. Disadvantages are that you don't have your caller ID (somewhere in CT) and no incoming calling, as just stated.

I didn't make it clear but my post was mainly for people who have ported their numbers into Google Voice people or who are trying to get their GV chat working with SIP clients.

As such, Nimbuzz was the company and product that Skype grew out of, so it makes sense that they would both work in somewhat the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ryskk:
Potentially a Great ROM!

i've been using this rom for the last weeks and i enjoyed very much. Beside the camera problem, everything else work and design intelligently. It would be an excitement to the community and a great achievement to those who involved in this project to see this rom progresses beyond the current state.

Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] philhull:
I can't speak for anyone else, but I've never had any problems with Google Voice on this phone using the GV app. I have it set to make calls and send and receive text messages via Google Voice and have since the day I bought the phone.

I've used another app the past few weeks that's able to integrate the sending and receiving of GV text messages with the default Messaging app. I don't even really think about the fact that my phone is using Google Voice anymore because everything works so well for me.

Skype has a free side but to call phones from skype, its like $2-3 a month (I cant remember, it automatically comes out from my bank account). I also bought a skype phone number so people can call me for like $15. I use Skype as a business number or when I need to make calls that are going to last a while :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wilson pickett:
well thank you very much.bobsled works for me.generally speaking i don't take incoming calls on cell phones i've had the last 3 years,or the landlines i had for the 35 years or so before them.if you need my attention,leave a message.i'll get back to you when i feel like it.if it's not that important i didn't need you wasting my time.especially if you're trying to sell something.

over.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] reprapperMC:
Skype is only free for calls to other Skype users. However, you can get a monthly unlimited calling plan for $2.99 that lets you make calls to any number, even landlines, within the USA. There are other countries that are available on this plan also.

I understand this is an additional cost. I was paying $80 for an ATT line with only 200mb of data and a ton of talk time I didn't use. Now with the $30 T-mobile plan with unlimited data (5gb) I'm perfectly fine paying the $3. I even paid for the Skype number which is around $5 a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
The option might be on CM9 because of ICS 4.0 version of the official Google Voice app but if you go to:

Google Voice > Menu > Settings > Sync and notifications > Receive text messages via...

It gives you the option of putting GV texts through the native sms app (without root)

I'm still working out the bugs from the gummy beta. At this point the ROM doesn't even show the lockscreen. It just zipaligns on first boot and shows notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] philhull:
That enables GV to forward texts to your phone's SMS messaging. If you don't pay for a messaging plan (I don't), you will be charged for every message forwarded. The GV integration app uses only data and does not require any text plan.
