Better than stock!

I must say, that I am a very happy user of this Rom. I travel by car a lot, and am in the midst of a 2,500 mile trip. I have two of these phones. One is stock, and the other has this Rom. The stock phone has two major problems, that prevent me from using it much while traveling.

1. The Gas Buddy app causes to stock phone to reboot every time I use it to search for the cheapest gas. It seems to happen at random times while using the app. This flaw is well documented with the Exhibit II, but the app author has yet to fix it. With the CM9 ROM it never crashes.

2. The stock ROM does not allow the screen to be rotated 180 degrees, in order to have the power cord and speaker cord exit the bottom of the phone. CM9 allows full 180 degree rotation, and all the apps work fine. You have to enable the 180 degree option in settings to use this mode. The only issue is that the home screen will not rotate 180 degrees, and appears upside down, when running the phone inverted. I suspect that this has something to do with the launcher used in CM9. After a while I get used to the upside down home screen, and run "Car Home Ultra" most of the time.

Thanks to Jocala and the crew for all the hard work. It is making my life on the road a LOT easier!

ADW doesn't rotate portrait either, unless there's a setting I missed.

Edit: Settings/Display/Rotation: select 180 works great for home screen.

It's weird two days ago the app drawer started giving me haptic feed back then right now Google search bar is giving me haptic feed back maybe it's one of those things that'll fix themselves while the ROM settles :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Maybe I misunderstood, but where's the zip at that link?

I think wilson was referring to a different error? Something failing in recovery with miui; perhaps an assert error?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I've noticed haptic feedback occasionally drops out while using the keyboard for a few characters at a time. Maybe 2% of typing, if that much. It's not much of a problem.

Somehow typing with h-fb feels more fluid and less prone to errors. I really like it. It's hard to go back to gingerbread-based ROMS because of it, even when they're less buggy overall.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
Well did you try changing the options in recovery for signature verification or script asserts? That's usually what causes the problem. No one else has reported an issue flashing my zips.

new build

A new build is available in the op

I'm happy to say that the only thing remaining in the not working column is Camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] joshua.justice:
You saved the best fix for last ;) and I can wipe system and cache and install this over the other build right?

Do the themes and profiles tabs work now? Also what about Facebook sync? Or did someone find a way around this.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
Awesome, thank you.. Can't wait for the camera, only thing stopping me from using it full time. :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
You may be able to just install it over the previous build, wiping cache, dalvik before first boot. If it doesn't work, ROMwipe. BTW, these fixes are courtesy of the CyanogenMod Team, so thanks and credit go to them :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] joshua.justice:
Maybe they can give you some pointers on the camera fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I sincerely hope so :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] samusishere:
This is amazing.

jocala thank you soo much for your harrd work. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Wild_Frank:
I flashed the new build and the home button just selects the top item on my screen and doesn't take me to the home screen. I didn't do a full wipe just a dalvik and cache wipe update from yesterday's build. If nobody else is having this problem I'll do a clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cmikeh2:
On the most recent build I am having absolutely no battery problems even with the CPU governor on performance. With more than two hours of screen time and about nine hours of up time I still have forty percent of my battery left. No bugs other than the aforementioned ones here.

Edit: Not most recent but the March 30 build
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Yeah I just told him about this on the IRC, he's rebuilding it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
Do you have a thread on the cyanogenmod forum?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jliles:
Great to see the work progressing so rapidly... the latest build however seems to have unfixed the home button

this is the first port that kemiui did,and,the file that reported the error.

i did toggle script asserts,and,verifications.

this isn't a big deal,i thought that you might want to know about it.back to you chet.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Thank you David. The issue is a assert statement failure throwing an error 7 in the install script.

CyanogenMod puts this statement at the top of each install script, to make sure you're installing the correct rom to the correct device. In this case, there was a mismatch due to errors made in an early ancora_tmo cm9 build, which Kem based his work on. Long fixed, I'm surprised the earlier version of recovery didn't error out too. This is all related to the name change from ancora to ancora_tmo.

Thanks for letting me see it, I was curious.

Try a cache/dalvik cleaning in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] samusishere:
Does it install quickly?

The rom installs literally within less then 10 seconds

Is that normal?

or doo i need too update my recovery possibly?

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I didn't time it, but it's fast. If your recovery isn't current (does it say Exhibit II up top?) updating is pretty painless.

Edit: 35 seconds from internal sd.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] AkiroX:
Does this mean we finally have Hardware Acceleration? Or is it only videos? Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question... It's just, I lag really badly on the lock screen when answering calls and just unlocking the phone.. The lag lingers on the menus n crap until I lock/unlock again, sort of a refresh.. Then it works fine.. It's kinda annoying...

Aaand to my understanding that had to do with the fact that we had no H/W Acc... Soo... Yea..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Working here. I watched a video.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
MX Video Player now renders HD videos correctly using hardware acceleration, so I'm guessing yes we have full hardware acceleration. :)

Whaddya mean finally? Is the terrible wait since March 5th when I posted my first compile wearing on you? :)

Download it and give it a run.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] liquidnails:
Also, I'm not sure if its just my phone but when I use root explorer to look at my external SD card it says that the folder is empty. Buy titanium shows it full and my music is still working. But it did this In last build as well. I'm coming from xquizit 6.1. I did a romwipe before flashing. Should I format something else as well??

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cmikeh2:
Just double checking but the inability to use the camera flash as a flashlight is simply a result of the lack of camera support and not a separate problem.

New build seems pretty good. RomWipe seemed to solve my screenshot issue. For those of you with issues coming back from the lock screen lagging, set your minimum CPU up to 245. Having it on 122 does make it lag a little coming out of lock screen.

I'll beat it up for a couple days, see what's up with battery action, apps, etc..

Over all so far: KICK ASS. Probably the best rom I've used on a phone ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Sending thanks of gratitude is appropriate, not kvetching. Most of us are damn happy. Thanks J, you're the man!

Will we eventually have a voice recording app? I tried restoring the one from Gingerbread but no go.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] AkiroX:
Lol.. I ask cuz I used to lag to the point I couldn't answer a frickin call cuz the lock screen lagged... It's A LOT better now.. I can live with it.. Still sorta there tho... Cell phone randomly lags.. But yea, works better now.. :3 Again, thanks Jocala~ ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I had the lag answering calls and it did worry me. Bumping the min frequency one notch seemed to fix it. I just use standard CM controls to adjust, no 3rd party apps.

For mid-level hardware you have to have reasonable expectations. I'm not saying you don't, but I get that vibe from some folks sometimes.

Then again some of you kids may know better what's possible an' I'm being a slow poke. So happy to be rid of the bloatware/spyware. All the rest is gravy.

My complaints against the T679 -- not the ROM -- are with its browser performance (thanks single core CPU) and switches being across from each other (stupid).

I know I can't expect our phones to run CM9 perfectly, I'm not saying it should.. I'm just happy if it can ATLEAST PROPERLY answer calls.. xD Really, this is my first android phone... Evar... The performance is reasonable, I likey..

Also, browsing performance isn't that bad... Atleast Maxthon has been working pretty well with multiple tabs open..

Thanks for the tip tho! I dunno why the **** I never thought about that! C:

I think the broswer works wonderfully.

thanks jocala, finally got it working.

one question though.

do you think it will be possible too get auto brightness in ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
ok i am running the new build and i love it oh man do i love it i am coming from the xquizit theme. but i love this rom. i cant wait until the camera is fixed that maybe the only reason i dont keep the rom for the long haul
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ninjames:
So I know the opening post says that if you need instructions you shouldn't try this ... but seeing as how it's getting further and further along in progress, it seems a bit more stable for non-advanced users, no? I mean, I already have my phone with jocala's kernel and am rooted. I've went back to stock through Odin once, too. So I know I could understand the instructions. I just don't know what to do D: And I really want ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jliles:
I have been irritated by our phone only having 1.6 gigabytes of storage available on the internal SD card, and I couldn't get the stock Samsung rom to function when I changed the mount paths to switch the internal SD and the external SD. It turns out that Cyanogenmod doesn't mind at all. So I've created a vold.fstab file that when used to replace the /etc/vold.fstab file on the Exhibit II 4G running this CM9 rom, it will swap the places of your external and internal SD cards, your external SD will then be mounted as /sdcard and you can install apps to it.

## Vold 2.0 Generic fstab

## label - Label for the volume
## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted

Of course, your mileage may vary. This file is working for me, as is, on my Exhibit II 4G running the latest build of this rom as of this post. You will need to remount your system partition read/write before manipulating this file on your phone, and if you aren't sure of what you're doing, I highly recommend you don't mess with it at all.

As in the instructions for the rom: if you don't know how to do it, don't do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I actually prefer my external SD card kept clean. You know how apps create a bunch of useless folders and files, I don't want that (I might be OCD) XD
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Ninjames, it sounds like you have most of the experience you need.

One problem with instructions is having so many different starting points for different folks. Depends what they've already done with their phone, et cetera.Plus, different ability to tolerance risk or handle problems. The idea is to discourage people from flashing this ROM unless they REALLY know they want to. All risk/responsibility falls on them.

Here is what I'd say are prerequisites to flashing:

1) Your phone is rooted. You did it yourself, you know what that means.

2) You installed ClockWorkMod (CWM) utility. You know how to access it.

3) You own a microSD card. You know how to make a nandroid backup using CWM.

4) You know how to recover from a bootloop or hangup while booting. (Hold power for twenty seconds.)

5) You have a strategy what to do if your flash fails.

You can't anticipate everything. You need basic know-how. You don't want to freak out and cause a bunch of agitation trying to get help. People will help you anyway, but still.

1) Download necessary ROM files. There is a superwipe program you might want to use but it isn't strictly necessary.

2) Determine what you need to wipe. Are you prepared to recover anything that might be wiped? Did you make a backup of critical stuff?

3) Make a nandroid backup of your working system.

4) Wipe partitions that need to be wiped.

5) Flash CM9 beta build.

6) Flash Google applications on top of CM9.

7) Boot the result. Wait for system to boot and stabilize.

8) Set up new phone and restore data as appropriate.

9) Test new phone. File reports / ask questions.

Hopefully, I didn't leave any critical detail out.

Not sure what's going on with your phone but I apparently have no problem saving MMS attachments at least with the most recent version of this rom.

I have not tried it with previous versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wolfchimneyrock:
So: i have installed this march 31 release, things seem functional but for one thing: the network icon says 3g instead of 4g which I usually get here on tmoble in NYC. How can I tell if it really is 3g or 4g?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cmikeh2:
Cyanogen Mod views UMTS as 3g whereas the stock rom views it as 4g. The discrepancy between the two is simply in the indicators and you should expect the same speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I added this to the op. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I'm loving this ROM right now! Everything is super fast, almost no lag at all. The only bug I can find is sometimes the lockscreen pops up randomly when I switch to another screen, but that may just be me.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Change the minimum CPU frequency up to 245MHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wolfchimneyrock:
Cool, thanks for the quick response. So if in the system-settings->about-phone->status says 'UMTS:3' It is t-mobile's '4g' network ... is there no way in the status bar settings to get a differentiation between HSPA+ and UMTS?

also I noticed some serious freezing / lag when using google maps, and walking into a subway station and suddenly losing the data and gps connections, that I had never had before with the previous ROM (RebelROM 2.1) ... Is this a known bug of this release?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I'm still a bit troubled by my display lagging when a call is received. I haven't missed a call because of it, but it bugs me to see a black screen while my phone is ringing.

I upped my min clock to 368Mhz and changed my CPU governor to ONDEMAND. I guess I'll find out how thirsty this setting is. It definitely works better for ring display.

I carried my own settings through a few revisions now, but I think the CyanogenMod factory defaults would be 122MHz and INTERACTIVE.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

I haven't read anything about this exactly. I don't doubt your report in the least but there are so many variables in your scenario you'd have to tease them apart.

Did you have better connectivity underground (at the same station) with the previous ROM?

Did you lose connectively before and Google maps still worked?

Were you in a subway where map data had been cached and connectivity went away but maps still worked?

I hope you see what I mean, not trying to give you a hard time. I wish I had a subway to ride here in Houston. Hot as hell today.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cmikeh2:
When you are using HSPA+, you will see an H as your indicator in the status bar. I believe (but can't remember for certain) that Cyanogen Mod stays on UMTS for general communication with the cell tower because it requires less power than HSPA+. However, if you begin to download heavily (in the foreground generally) the radio will transition to HSPA+ for greater speed. Not 100 percent positive though.

Edit: According to the information I found on the G2 forum, this occurs in most stock ROMs as well. However, since we consistently see the 4g icon in the stock ROM, we never realize the switching occurring between the radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Faultyy:
Nice. Here's mine:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wolfchimneyrock:
well I had pulled the map up, and did the search and get directions whilst above ground and in receptive area. I walked underground, and the lagging happened when switching between direction list view and map view, that sort of thing was fine when in no signal zones with the old ROM ... maybe a problem with the ICS version of google maps?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sorry, idk. It's in cm7, so hopefully it will be merged in before long..

Sorry for the off-topic post - and I won't do it again - but since dswaggz mentioned the new market (AKA Play Store), I noticed you can watch "Inglorious Basterds" for 25 cents in the new store. I might do it since it's supposed to be a good flick and I haven't seen a single one of Tarantino's films. Surprisingly.

Update: Buyer beware: The player tells you can't watch when your phone is rooted. It says you can watch in browser instead. I tried watching using three different phone browsers. None worked. Was finally able to watch on my PC. Whole thing was a hassle, wouldn't do it again for two cents.
