Your file is only 3Mb. It's missing everything except what you added: com.android.kineto.apk and some *.so files in system/lib.

I do everything from the command-line, so you may not find this useful; but here's how I add files to a rom.zip

1. copy the zip to a holding directory (keep the original!)

2. cd to the directory

3. unzip rom.zip

4. delete the copied zip file

This leaves you with two directories and a file in your holding dir:

META-INF boot.img system

(META-INF contains directions for cwm: how to install this rom. boot.img is the kernel, and system is the actual guts of the rom.)

Now copy your additional files into the proper directories:

cp /path/to/yourapp.apk system/app
cp /path/to/yourlibs.so system/lib

Now your holding dir still looks like this:

META-INF boot.img system

You are still in the directory where you unzipped your copy of (now deleted) rom.zip. So now we rebuild it with a new name:

zip -r newrom.zip *

The command above does a recursive (traverse subdirectories) zip putting the entire contents of directories META-INF and system plus boot.img into the new zip file newrom.zip

When you compare the sizes of the original rom.zip and newrom.zip they should be fairly similar, with newrom.zip being slightly bigger than the original rom.zip.

If you're a Windows user, use copy rather than cp and reverse your shashes (copy \path\to\myfile.apk system\app. In theory anyway :)

Hi, I've recently purchased one of the T- Mobile $30 / 100Min Unlimited Data plans, but however it seems the 3G/4G is horrible, or is it just my settings? Apps used to hopefully boost the network speed are 3G/4G Optimizer and also Network Speed Booster, but my speeds still did not improve.

I've attached my current APN settings. Are there any other settings you would recommend to get better speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
I thought you could make a zip that would just add to a system/phone instead of redistributing a whole freaking rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] samusishere:

How did you get cam to work?

all I get is a black screen
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
I went back to the old build i had alot of problems and i think they were do to the cam files.

My problems were freezes, lag extreme battery drain and all this happened when i would open both silent cam and stock cam

@jocala is it.possible to get the latest build without the cam?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
No settings are going to make your speeds better it is just because you're not close enough to the tower or your area does not have very good service.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
I get 5-8 mbps possibly your location from tower. Look at tmobiles coverage map for info about what service you should get.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Slacker:
Most of the time I get a black screen too.

Sent from my Exhibit II 4g using CM9, Thanks Jocala! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I thought you were trying to build a personal rom. My apologies. Building zips for app installation is similar but requires editing the updater script. Unzip some apks for examples.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
No.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] netbuzz:
My 2 cents on this whole Google Voice discussion are as follows:

I also have the $30 plan with 100 voice minutes. The salesperson at the store lead me to believing that using the t-mobile wi-fi app will not use my minutes, which I quickly realized after the purchase that it's simply not true. All it does is helps you make and receive calls by routing them through your home or work router if the phone signal is weak. It still uses air time because outside your home it doesn't use data network.

I wanted to use google voice because I've had that number for a while and like a lot of feature there. I planned on it from get-go, even if I had unlimited voice minutes.

First thing I have done is I called tmobile and deactivated my phones mailbox, so no matter what all my calls end up in GV mailbox, not carrier. This is because with the prepaid plan there is no conditional forwarding.

Then I tried Groove IP but I never got far with it. I was able to eliminate all the echo, but all my conversations were choppy.

I didn't try Skype, because I want to use my GV number and I want things to be free. I tried couple other apps that work with Google Voice with same poor results.

I tried the pbxes setup and at first had issues, but eventually I figured things out. I tried it under XquiziT rom, as I am not using CM9 atm. The hardest problem was getting "Internet Calling" setup in Call options. Then I installed the app, dialed in some settings to reduce the echo, and although not perfect it is much better than Groove IP. At least IMO. I am using CSipSimple for the client.

So, in the end, not perfect, but I end up with Unlimited texting, Unlimited Data, and 2000 voice minutes, all for $30/month. I don't know that this is beatable.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
LoL, no worries at least I now know why it hosed my phone so hard. I basicaly replaced cm9 with my files :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
wifi calling

ok here is a flashable zip (untested but should not wipe your system like my last one did). Make a backup first!then do the usual wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash, reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
I don't generally have GV problems, but when I do have them, it seems it's because of the GV/Talk service, not the particular app. For example, whenever I get extreme lag (several full seconds) in Groove IP I also get it in Talkatone, and as far as I could tell, also through the Internet calling interface set up with via the SIP settings posted earlier, which are linked to the GV account.

It just seems GV/Talk handles low data rates less gracefully than other VOIP services and either lags horribly or just cuts off the audio.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I wanted to revisit this, I was rushing out the door this am. I don't understand what the issues are when you're not using the camera. If you're not using the camera, the camera files don't come into play.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
Well all the problems happen when i open the camera. And it is with both cameras the phone will freeze get very bogged down like i am running high ram usage. And it happens when doing normal things like going into settings using facebook texting and answering a call

Also want to add the camera opens fine but these things happen when.i go to close it
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
A reboot should fix it or do a restore from a backup the camera is after all just experimental. I am more curious if anybody is taking this work further for our phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Yes, I understand. But don't those problems go away if you don't use the camera? Or if you do use it but reboot when done? IOW, I'm seeing nothing atypical occurring from the camera libs just being present on a phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] philhull:
I've had no problems the past couple of days using the CM9 build with the test camera files when not testing out the camera functions. Yes, I have had some FCs when trying to take pictures with a couple of different apps I was testing, but no problems otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
It sounds like there is no downside to using the newest Jocala build as long as one stays away from using the camera.

@Jocala... 24 hours and no wifi drops, even in standby throughout the night. Big fix, ty! Everything else is running just fine. I am finally gonna jump on this battery drain trolly, however. It's pretty horrible lol I have brightness down the whole way and just lost 17% in an hour and all I was doing was browsing Flipboard. BT & GPS off. Wifi on.

CM9 Observations

I flashed the latest version and I can take panoramic pictures with stock cam. When I try to take regular photos it says my sd card is full, but I have plenty of space. If I snap a pic using pudding camera it freezes. On a separate note, the speaker phone quality seems poor, but I only used it once. Hope this is helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Thanks for your effort on this. I should tell you that Arco has modified the cm9 kernel so T-Mobile's wifi-calling works (for me anyway). The changes will be included in the next build.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
Thats great news! but isn't it more than just the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
Doesn't this men that our camera issues could be kernel based as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Only the addition of libkineto.so to the build.

edit: there were some other changes. See github for deets.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
So much for good battery life... had to charge 2times today with moderate use:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
The cure for our camera is underway. My understanding of the issue is that the primary problem is mainly driver-related, but I'm sure kernel patches will come along too. You can find out more here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/13650/

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
So here's an example of my noobiness: can you explain what that link says...looks like mumbo jumbo to me lol

EDIT: please tell me there is some sort of android OS for dummies type of thing
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
Here's what I have found on the battery issues.

1. New build has improved vastly for me with my new setup...

2. My problems are due to radios and coverage.

Here is my setup:

I spend most of my day at home in front of my router in my home office. I have Wifi on all the time. My cell signal is fine there but my 4G is non-existent.

I installed Tasker and have setup a profile for when connected to Wifi. This (using the new beta of Tasker) sets the Airplane radios to Cell only, turns on Airplane mode and turns off Mobile data. It also changes Google voice settings to go to "Chat" only.

The exit task occurs when not connected any more. This turns off Airplane mode, and turns back on Mobile data. It also changes Google voice settings to go to my Mobile phone only. The GV changes are done via Locale plugin.

See the screenshot:

This morning, at about 50% through, I decided that as the Wifi was finally sleeping overnight, that the profile was interfering. As the Wifi was sleeping and turning off, my Tasker exit task was being invoked and the Mobile data was being switched back on. Having a very weak signal, the phone radio is searching all the time and wasting battery This morning, I decided to change my Wifi sleep policy to "Never sleep" and that cured that problem. That's where it flattens out.

About 85% of the way through, you can see it going off a cliff. That's when I had to leave the house and pick up my daughter. Again, the mobile data comes on but now, the Wifi radio is the one polling all the time for a connection.

After 3PM, I don't set the Airplane mode because some push notifications need data, I believe, not just an internet connection. I'm still working on this...

So, my results show that if either of these radios is searching for a good connection that is putzing up the battery life.

HTH. As always, YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Thank you for that breakdown It made a lot of sense.

I'll be getting *some* type of data plan soon, so I like to get a better grasp on stuff like this. My current tweaks are few.

I had a mini buying spree on the app store last weekend. Finally bought five or six items I'd been trialing. I'm thinking of getting tasker, but will prob wait a while. I know I'll get all obsessive with it and burn a lot of time. Eventually I'll buy it. Again, thanks.

www[dot]tmonews[dot]com/2012/05/t-mobile-releasing-software-update-to-rebranded-samsung-exhibit-ii-4g/ [Can't post links so replace the 'dot's]

Apparently the Exhibit II will now be the Galaxy Exhibit 4G. They're releasing a software update on May 30 that updates the phone to 2.3.6.

Other improvements are a Google security fix, device stability improvements, WiFi calling audio improvements, Camera app improvements, and sywpe corporate email improvements.

on the latest build when i put my phone into usb mass storage mode only the micr sd card shows up in my computer. i cant seem to get the internal storage to come up. and in MTP mode i cant copy the large files to my computer. anyone ecle had this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] netbuzz:
ATM I am not running CM9, but I remember that I had the exact issue when I was testing a build that was couple revisions old. I think it was from end of March. I could only see one sd card show up in my computer at a time. To flip to the other sd card I had to go to options and specify the main storage sd card location. Sorry, I don't remember what the exact name of that setting was, but I think it was under Storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
the offical exhibit update? no. i flashed back to stock via cwm and it said no firmware i think u have to wait a few days
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Try unmounting the ext storage in settings->storage then connect USB to access internal storage on your computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Slacker:
I definitely remember in one of the recent builds, when I started USB connection that two windows opened on my computer, with the last two or three builds it only let's me see the internal SD.

This is not a problem for me as I use android commander to work with files in any area of my phone.

I'm assuming the camera fix doesn't work for something like scanning barcodes for eBay and stuff. Correct? I do a lot of selling on eBay, being able to scan makes things much easier some times. It's the only thing stopping me from using the rom.

Wait, this is CM9 forum. What do you expect to happen when you try to apply a 2.3.6 update?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Yes. The update will only work if you flash back to stock with Odin or jocealas stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
As long as you're on the stock rom, does the phone have to be unrooted or does having cwm recovery or anything like that matter? I just made a nandroid just in case, but still.

whats going on?.... i need to put a pic on my phone and some other crap....

Also, i know before, gingerbread when i connected phone i could get it it to show all 3 memories" as in, the main 1, the internal memory, AND my sd card! now it only shows the sd card when i connect, but then it does nothing with it...

well, I went back to pure stock in anticipation of the update. The only thing you can do is to manually put the files in the zip file in to the proper folders on your phone then set permissions. only the files in the system, lib, and app folders need to be put on the phone. you will have to use a file app like es file explorer that has root access.

SuperWipe also deletes any data that you have on the internal SD card so he's telling you to back it up if you have any important data.
