I had a bit of lag in the latest version of cm9 both in launcher and all apps. Extracted v6 script from PS v2.04 placed into cm9 /system/xbin and ran terminal set at 7 - multitasking. Rebooted and now everything zips right along smoothly.

Google Apps

I find it a bore to have to immediately go to the market and download Gmail and Maps after a fresh install (I install a lot). So, I've added a new version of gapps to the OP. In addition to Gmail & Maps, I also added Google Now. The original version is still available for those who prefer it.

Google Apps (choose one)

Hi!

I'm very pleased to make a small donation to someone who has helped me understand Android and has provided a great opportunity to have an up to date phone OS.

I realize that my donation is probably about a minute of your time, but worth much more than any app.

Posting thumbs up on above for the best Op/Dev in XDA for all his selfless acts of generosity. Lets all get him caffeine high and and make him drag out the beer goggles to do a most impressive change.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Nothing is wrong, I'm fine :) I was advised that accepting donations could hurt me legally (I'd rather not go into why), but I'm now told that I can accept beer & coffee money from grateful patrons. In short my previous advice was bull***t :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
I think it has to do with the fact that since accepting donations mean you are obligated to work harder and deliver updates sooner. To me, that's nonsense, which is why other devs refuse to accept donations
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Bottom line is all is alright.

Just curiosity but I noticed v6 wasn't in cm9 yet when I ran the script the performance was substantial. Am I missing something? There is so many post here and I have been backreading so far about a third of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Haha, I asked to donate to you awhile ago; now I can finally do it. You really deserve a little something in return for your hard work and dedication for this device.

V6 supercharger update9 rc10 is sweet. My min free from v6 included in PS 2.04 was vastly different and it optimizes apps. 3g. And includes flush script recommended to run weekly. Also the services.jar for ice is modified. Long in tooth but let it optimize everything and you will see a difference over the PS v6 script. That script is an older version. It also likes and is cm9 friendly.:thumbup:

Installation: rename file downloaded to v6. Cut file from download location and paste to

/system/xbin

Run terminal emulator

Type "su"

Type "v6"

Answered yes to all prompts.

At end of install it will ask to reboot. Do so and patience while it does fixes. You will see it happen and know not bootlooped.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DCSlick:
That gui exists but no it does not support our build or any unofficial builds at this time. It's sweet too. CM10 support and all. For now, I'd get your script fully working for the device we're currently using. You should set out to break your own script that way you'll be like an end user. You'll be surprised at how easily people can break the simplest script. They press weird things on their kb, they hit enter with no input, they delete (manually) important directories, etc. GUIs aren't tough. Especially if you use a tool that basically attaches commands to buttons and output to textboxes for you. IDEs are your friends. I'm a 'nix scripter myself and I prefer making my scripts in notepad or notepad++. BTW, the counter is wrong. I downloaded it so it shouldn't show 0 when there's at least 1 for sure ;).

on this page is a post that has a way and the files to use any standard boot animation zip you wish

to,and not be confined to samsung qmg files.it works.

i have the same basic issues as reported.

my cellular connection was slow,and,mostly 3g only.

switching back to the bionic cow rom i've been using(with bpears converter),and,in the exact same spot, signal was strong,and 4g.

tethering worked,as well as wifi.

made a call,worked.

the home button isn't non functional,if you press it in a menu it changes your selection,but obviously not right yet.

i have an old optimus v,and a week or two ago an ics port was put out at about the same stage you're at.camera issues.

someone there,who had moved on to another phone,and was working on ics had concluded

the camera issues were in the kernel.

looking good,drinks are on you.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cboys229:
rom looking good, could actually deal with it daily if only home button worked. Just tryed to upload screenshots. Keep up the good work, we all are thankful!!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I've added screenshots to the OP.

Serious question, what does not having the home button break? ICS was designed for NO capacitive buttons. Legacy apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cboys229:
honestly i don't know enough about it to realize how it should truly work, people will most likely complain about it just because they're so used to a button to go directly home (including myself)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] urmothersluvr:
I've been having quite a few random reboots. It happens even when I'm not touching my phone. When its booting up from a random reboot it gets stuck booting and I end up having to pull the battery to turn it back on
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Well, it needs to work, no question. However, it's not a barrier to use here thus far.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
I found the fix for the home key. Somehow the home key is set to act as a capacitive/optical trackpad (like used for scrolling) When you place the finger on the home key and precisely move upward you should be able to notice that the phone scrolls up. It seems to only work in the upward direction and not down or sideways.

I have informed jocala of this and he will release a fixed build ASAP.

Now I just can't wait for Face Unlock support. I want to actually see how well it works.

I didn't check if this was already posted but for USB storage mounting, if the external SD card is mounted the computer will only see the external SD card. To access the internal SD storage you must unmount the external SD card from the storage settings menu.

I also tested the data encryption feature and that doesn't seem to work. It just stops after the first setup prompts when the android character logo appears with the black screen.

If anyone wants to check out a highly detailed guide for CM

http://ultimatephoneguide.com/index.php?title=CyanogenMod

It's very explanatory and not very organized, I'm working on fixing and porting that guide for CM9.

Thanks jocala.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] JakeeExhibit2:
So do i flash google apps over CM9 in clockwork mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
Yes. Flash the zip and reboot and you will have google apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] JakeeExhibit2:
I found one more error, google voice search doesn't work it says audio problem, but i didnt find any other errors besides that one other than the ones already stated:) and jocala, i was just wondering if you could add wifi calling back?:)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
For Peach? It's in the bloat.zip file, just below the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
Nope.avi

We most likely will never get T-Mobile's wifi calling back. It uses those propriatary files from the stock ROM and it most likely wouldn't work on a AOSP/CM ROM. I tried and the app won't start.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Nothing TouchWiz will work in CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dswaggz:
Hey I wanna test so bad but I have a few questions is the new cwm safe or should we just sticc to the original bkuz I have a sk4g im working on too so I would be will to test anything cm9 but I think in only gonna have the other phone like 3wkz

via SWAGG GANGG ™
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] JakeeExhibit2:
Well um..do you guys know of anyway, apps or something that i could use to boost my signal? I dont have good signal at my house so i kinda rely on wifi calling. but dont get me wrong, the rom is great:D i just might have to use another rom for the wifi calling:(
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
Wifi calling isn't part of touch wiz. It's T-Mobile bloatware. They have wifi calling on all the other phones like HTC.

The new CWM is fine I tested it. And the cm9 really doesn't have that many problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dswaggz:
But they said it not a daily driver

via SWAGG GANGG ™
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
This ROM is not a daily driver. It is a work in progress and may never be a daily driver. If you're depending on features that aren't present and don't feel comfortable flashing back and forth between ROMs you shouldn't use it.

I'm not going to make any changes from cyanogen stock source. No themeing, no alternate launchers, voip apps, editing apks, etc. Nothing extra. My only goal with this ROM is to see if I can make things work.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
No. "they," meaning me said CM9 is not a daily driver. ClockworkMod is fine, and much better than before. Use it or not, whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] skyrmion:
I've been wondering why so many people have been having boot loops while I have yet to have one. I have run close to every iteration of every ROM for this phone with few problems, just the ones noted by the devs themselves. It sounds to me like you guys are doing everything right.

This is my work phone and I need a camera so can't try this myself, but I have been doing something different maybe than the rest of you. I use an app called system tuner, and it sets a minimum clock rate of 245 Mhz for me, just like a lot of other apps out there can do. You may have noted on this kang a native application that does the same thing. Or looks like it does, I didn't play with it because I use that other app. I can't tell you how to find it in the menus until this weekend when my phone becomes a test subject again. Maybe someone with boot loop problems can try raising their minimum clock rate and report?

I did notice when running the second beta a 30% drain on the battery in three hours. On checking battery usage cell standby was at a whopping 68%. This was eight feet from the router. I rebooted and it started sipping power again.

So, if for some reason the cell radio is drawing that much power, and your phone display is kicking on, maybe it's dropping the voltage to your CPU, and putting you in a boot loop. Worth a try?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Does the system report instantaneous power use? I thought it reported cumulative values. Anyway, you might be onto something. 30% drain in two hours does not seem excessive if you're using it continuously. If you're doing next to nothing, that seems high. With all ROMs I figure the Exhibit II consumes about 10% (very ballpark) battery each half-hour. That is non-stop touching the screen, moving around etc.

Not based on any personal XDA/ROM development experience but from other experiences, I say one frustrating part of the process is gleaning through user reports to find relevant information. There are many red herrings.

I was *tending* to discount people's bootloop reports until I started to experience them. Was I having fewer BLs because I was conservative in loading down my system? Now that I've had a few I'm more receptive to these reports.

To paraphrase one of the devs: these are single-core devices with only 512MB of RAM. You can't expect them to do heavy multi-tasking. It's impossible to validate the ROM when users are tweaking all kinds of core settings.

I'm very happy with this current port of CM9. Despite the problems it's very promising.

Maybe I'm trying to parse what you're saying too critically. But why did you mention the distance from the router?

Do you think there is a connection between the presence of wi-fi signals and the amount of power the phone spends maintaining cell tower contact?

My cell standby reads 7% currently.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] stab244:
Hmm did a clean install but didn't restore wireless access points in case that was the issue and I just had a boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
We just need to be patient and await the next release. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] skyrmion:
Hey, parse away. I mentioned the distance because the phone shouldn't be in any kind of search mode or trying to reconnect. I have tried to recreate the boot looping scenarios with no effect. My phone works as well as can be expected going in and out of wifi and data network ranges. You all have more time on this ROM though, I ran beta 3 for a little less than two days.

If there is no new ROM to try this weekend I will see if lowering my minimum on the CPU causes any boot loops on beta 3. A new release will have the netd patch from Arco so this discussion might be moot anyway. Yeah, this is my favorite ROM. CM seems very efficient.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
So what do you do to stop the boot looping? Pull the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] braski:
Hold power for 15 seconds it's Samsung's built in reset

Or pull the battery
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] stab244:
Removed wifi switch from notification bar and went to class. Didn't boot loop. Well there's always the chance when I go back to my room. Crossing my fingers that this is a short term solution though.

Edit: Okay it didn't work. Worth a try though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
You the issue with the sd card not mounting on mounting on PC? Well when the external storage is mounted it shows the internal sd on the computer only. But if you unmount the external sd in settings it shows up instead if the internal storage.

Has anyone had success unlocking the Exhibit II and using it on AT&T or Straight Talk? One reviewer on Amazon claims he's using AT&T's network with his, and a few pages I've found with specs have mentioned that it supports 850/1900 bands. So it should be good to go, yes?

Exhibit II with AT&T and Straighttalk

I'm currently using a Straighttalk SIM with my unlocked Exhibit II. Just put the SIM in, follow the directions for configuring the APN at straighttalksim.com under programming and your good to go.

I've tried a SIM from H2Owireless and AT&T prepaid and they both work. I get 3G data with the Straighttalk SIM and it has all of the same features as an AT&T contract SIM except for Visual Voice mail. AT&T 3G is noticeably slower that T-Mobile 4G, but AT&T 3G has better coverage and the ability to configure call forwarding allows you to used Google Voice seamlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
Oh you mean this http://www.xda-developers.com/android/qualcomm-releases-adreno-2xx-gpu-binaries-for-ics/

I think our Snapdragon chipset is a newer generation model. The article states that release is for first generation models. I could be wrong but those binaries may not help if they're for an older version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon.

Earlier this week I flashed CM9 (Energy) onto my Kindle Fire and despite the minimal bugs with that it's nice to have the full standard Android experience without paying the $600 for a high end tablet. I've been looking at some ROMs for that as well as procrastinating over building a CM9 ROM for this phone as I'm lazy and don't really want to go through all the build errors. It's a part of compiling but at the same time its annoying to be stopped by all these "fatal make errors".

It looks like jocala just pushed the ancora device/vendor repos to github a few hours ago. Hopefully the manifest for the sync will be posted by tomorrow. It would be great if we could download the upstream CM source, have all the other devices removed from the manifest, and just download the files needed for our phone to save time and bandwidth.

Also my exhibit was on the table, inactive (sleep/screen off) with full wifi signal and it just bootlooped and got stuck at the animation without me doing anything to the phone. Maybe the CPU voltage is a good point to look at. I know certain phones can bootloop during wifi tethering/hotspot use if the CPU speed isn't right. This could be a similar issue. I'm going to raise my minimum clock speed and see what happens. Also enabling the zRAM/compcache is a bad idea, this resulted in excessive lag for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Faultyy:
Jocala why is there never anybody in the IRC anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Hm I think we're lacking hardware acceleration right now, because my UI and video playback are kind of laggy.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
Well to build AOSP ROMs sometimes you have to swap out proprietary hardware files (like from Samsung) with generic open source files to make the system work. This can result in a lack of hardware acceleration. Improvements can be made but we may never get that back.

To compensate for the lag maybe you should try disabling surface dithering in the performance settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Irate Iguana:
**** Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Well that's a buzzkill... Big enough reason for me to go back to 2.3.5 based ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
How, how did you get that working? I flashed the new zip over my 1 week old cm9, previously flashed the regular gapps. Is that why Google now is working poorly for me? Its really laggy and it freezes alot. Would it work better if I flashed it over a clean install? Is that what you did?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I did the same thing and had no problems. Didn't even wipe cache or dalvik. What launcher are you using? I found that after switching from Go to Nova performance on my phone improved quite a bit. Also run the V6 Supercharger if you haven't already.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Does that script decrease battery performance?

Far as battery I have no idea yet, just applied the script today.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
No the script doesn't and as a matter of fact it will actually help by saving time by increasing the flow of information by streamlining the memory processes for the amount that's in this phone. If you notice on mine the pic shows memory allocation min free values between one lower and one higher. Old script only gave you the lower or higher values. No more wasted time waiting on apps to load and data even speeds up.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Thanks, sorry about that :rolleyes: I'll try it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Well I'm eating my words, again! This script was awful after I started using my music player and Dolphin, or multiple apps at the same time. My phone froze each time. Got rid of the tweaks and restored the build.prop. Things are back to normal. Can't recommend V6 at all. Auto Killer Memory app does the job waaaaaaaaaaaaay better guys. Probably will get the paid version. Just my experience today.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Yeah I sadly can't tell much a difference with the script. I wish I could increase battery performance on this rom, without changing my settings to anything less that "ondemand".
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah unfortunately this ROM will not work very well without the "performance" option. If you use ROM Toolbox, you can use the profile option to create a battery saver or screen off profile that uses less CPU. Use that and Juice Defender, pretty much all you can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
I just played with many settings. The 1st option for 512 HP let me run Rom toolbox. Titantium backup. Terminal emulator in su mode. Dolphin browser. Media player for music. Xda premium. Thumb keyboard. Gosms. And Google playstore doing an update all at once with no hiccups. I did bullet proof apps and the other options not done initially. Btw when media player is active department manager is as well and I also have the beats audio on at same time. Free memory with all that was maxed but no FC or stutters.

Just my playing with v6 and its outcomes. I had thumbkeyboard maps and dolphin freeze me a few times with recommended setting supplied and other options not initiated but not now and I tried to recreate.

To each their own in memory manager and I am not trying to convert others but do feel the need for a manager to handle this rom as out of box it was laggy.
