Well as soon as some fine gentleman decides to port the OC kernel, we need to find the max stable clock speed for our phone. I have A LOT of stuff installed (pretty sure if I ran at 1.6+ GHz my CPU will fry), so maybe I'll test the more extreme end.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] AkiroX:
1.9ghz is the MAX speed...

Regardless of how many apps are installed.

1.7ghz is runable, but I don't think it'd last a lot in gaming scenario.. PRobly 30 mins before too hot..

1.4-1.6ghz is the sweet spot though, I played Mass Effect and it felt like.. A completely different phone.. Srsly.

1 hour of playing and it was about as warm as it was when it was stock...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ScipioWarrior:
To the people who flashed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31808390 is there really an improvement? And it doesn't break anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
The person who wrote about stability and heat didn't know fully what gone on in early tries. This is a new kernel for galaxy w made for oc. The previous was done on stock galaxy w and pushed the oc in settings. I did fry a battery and went to bootloops but recovered.

This v2 kernal doesn't cause heat buildup but does screen flicker with tw. Otherwise it was fine but went back so I had my wifi back.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
isn't I8150 different than t679?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Yes but same board. CPU and camera is biggest difference. Middle capacitive button are reversed as well. We use ports from them though.

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Ever so slight bench improvement and nothing broke from flash on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
can the t679 camera be modified to record 720P videos? or is 640 x 480 the highest it can go?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
I think hardware is the deciding issue for not being 720p. I cannot say for certain but don't think it can be made to be 720p. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Erik_Sandoval:
@detdett are you sure?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
am i sure about what?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Erik_Sandoval:
@awolfpacked no I meant like CM10. Sorry for the confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
true. maybe jocala has the magic :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Erik_Sandoval:
My bad. Uhm who is making it?

Wait, how do you know this?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Nothing on a cm10 port that I know of for this phone. Sorry

Detdet and I was talking about the camera in this phone and not a port of cm10. Sorry again
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Erik_Sandoval:
Darn. Well this from is great. Thanks jocala.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Not having 720p is a hardware limit, small interesting note 720p was like kinda like 1/2 implemented when the cam first started working because other similar phone aka like the galaxy w did have 720p but, was later removed because it will not work on our phone.

Also i saw one person working on a cm10 for galaxy w i think, but no whears near ready and im sure jocala/arco will have it as soon if not sooner then them, so just sit back and enjoy the ride :P.

As jocala said they are focusing alot on the emergency calling, check back a few posts and you can see kinda what they/ i am working on. I really dont know what im doing. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I have zero interest in overclocking this device. I think it would just suck up battery w/o any real benefit. But, the source is out there, knock yourselves out!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Actually, there's a 2900mAh battery for the GT-I8150 (with a bulgy back cover) that should work for our phone. I'm still waiting for my shipment, but if it works good, then battery life wouldn't be a problem for the OC kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] AkiroX:
Battery loss was minimal, btw..

Overclocking shouldn't REALLY suck up more battery unless more voltage...

The benefit was in the smoothness in which CM9 ran, not to mention, I played Mass Effect.. Stock VS OC > OC gained over 15fps, completely smoothing out the game + the hiccups where gone...

There's a lot to be gained..

Too bad I don't have the HDD space to compile builds...

My 500gb HDD is nearly in it's limit.. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
quick question? how do we stop the home screen wallpaper from rotating? i have the stock cm9 launcher? & how else can i stop the photos from cropping when applying wallpaper?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] AkiroX:
I believe you have to resize the picture you want to the phone's resolution to keep it from cropping...

Also, I don't think the stock launcher allows you to keep the background from scrolling... I don't remember, but I believe you can't stop it from doing so..

It should be in the launcher settings... If it isn't...

Then get Apex Launcher, it's free, highly customizable and smooth as hell..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Has anybody had instability when their battery is low?

My battery was running low and my phone was sitting on the desk. I heard it bloop. A few minutes later, I noticed it was boot-looping.

I haven't had this happen in months.

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

Speaking of Apex Launcher, I installed the latest update just now (paid version, though it may not matter) and it FC-ed continuously.

I did a data wipe to make my phone usable again. Couldn't figure out a way around it. I had long-ago frozen Trebuchet launcher, which probably wasn't helpful.

It may only be a coincidence, this update happened after my boot loop just described. I'm letting the phone charge before I fool with it.

Sent from my Nexus 7

http://www.androidcentral.com/beware-latest-apex-launcher-update
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ETFoneHome:
There's a warning on the web not to update the latest version of Apex Launcher. Apparently there's an issue that's not making people happy. :silly:

They should have a fix by now though.

I prefer Holo Launcher HD instead. It's cleaner and smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Well they should've emailed me or let me know somehow. At least I didn't update it on my tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Ditto here. I've used Nova, Apex and Holo HD and found Holo to be slickest and quickest.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Thanks, I'm taking a new look at both Holo & Holo HD.

If I hadn't frozen Trebuchet I would have had a bailout plan when Apex barfed. Freezing Trebuchet was a bad idea.

I see a guy running the same OS I run on my Nexus 7 (CM10/Linaro) got stung when he updated Apex.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
Did a clean install. GrooVe IP is still not working.

V6 memory tweaks are working better.

Using Talkatone till GrooVe IP gets a fix.

The new M7 online/offline update of Google Now won't install either.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
After the cluster f*** I had last week with ROM switching, endless tweaks and declarations of "I found THE one", I went ahead and started all over with a ROM wipe and clean install of CM9 9/17 yesterday. Using Titanium Backup I restored my apps & data. I had a couple of hiccups when I had to re-install Avast after it FCd repeatedly and getting Holo HD back the way I had it. I flashed the suggested JB Adreno libs and Jellybean SystemUI.apk as well. All I can say is that if I had done that before many of my problems would have been cured, instead of jumping to conclusions about the ROM itself. A hard lesson learned. Dare I say, smooth as silk now? Nah, I might jinx it.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

This was something else I flashed, sad to say it didn't work for me. Even with Apollo it worked briefly and then FCd. No biggie as Poweramp and Neutron sound great on their own, and I can always install the Beats Audio app again. Right now I'm enjoying my sound the way it is. Thanks for suggesting it anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
You said you restored your apps and data. You should only restore your apps as restoring the data can screw things up.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ETFoneHome:
It's a good idea to have two launchers but I usually have one. A nandroid backup is one way to recover.

Another simpler way is to flash CM9 ROM zip file over the current. Do not romwipe. This will install back Trebuchet launcher and all other apps that came with the zip. You should have your other apps and configuration after reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Erik_Sandoval:
What jellybean systemui.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
That's true with some apps, but for some things like Swift Key I want all the data restored. Same goes for my music apps, Dolphin and the like.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ETFoneHome:
I usually install app + data - or restore apps first, then restore data later. They run just fine. The only few times when apps may go crazy are when I restore apps that were backed up using another ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Just received my 2900mAh battery. Will test it out tomorrow and see if it lives up to its advertised capacity. It's suppose to be for the Galaxy W, but we all know our phone has pretty much the same back cover. It has to be real since it weights about twice as much as the original battery, and it comes with a bulgy back cover for the fat battery. Refer to pictures below.

If anyone else is interested in the battery, check it out here: http://www.batterybay.net/Extended-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-W-p/samsung -cs-sm8150xl.htm

Free shipping from BatteryBay took about 2 weeks. For additional discount, check HERE.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SickBeast:
Jocala, with all due respect, I really think overclocking would do a lot for our phone. The CPU is the same as the one in the Galaxy W except it's underclocked to 1ghz from 1.4ghz. If you guys could get it up to 1.4ghz with the option for us to clock it higher, I would really appreciate it.

The added speed will make a big difference for web browsing and other strenuous tasks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] NoobNeutralizer:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Well, if you have a problem, first step is diagnosis. Can you access your internal memory (/mnt/sdcard) and removable sd (/mnt/emmc) with the file browser? When, exactly, does the cyanogenmod browser give you this message?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
I can get to emmc but not SDCard.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
How about /mnt/sdcard (not SDCard) ? And when does the browser give you the message? URL please, if you can.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
It is just sdcard and I am just trying to download roms for a gameboy color emulator :3.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
So, what happens when you try to file browse to /mnt/sdcard?

I don't really understand what you mean by "work" but it opens fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] AkiroX:
Well, I 'unno if I'm the only one getting the problem... But, lock screen lags to crap, then my phone lags to crap.. Answerin a call lags (The lock screen for it) So I miss a lot of calls.. V6 Supercharging did nothing, phone felt about the same, emulators are slower, 3d games too lol..

Does anyone how to fix it?

PS Don't get mad Jocala.

Peace :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
(Re: recovering from broken Apex)

I was thinking the exact same thing, but that procedure didn't work. I think it was because Trebuchet launcher was FROZEN, not deleted.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
this is more or an app issue. Try reinstalling the app and if that doesn't work out, contact the person who made modern combat
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I got the Adreno libs, but what's the Jellybean SystemUI package for?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
this.

to make the system ui look like jb
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I'm willing to trade that off for 2x battery life. I didn't really pay $200 to have a super sexy looking phone anyway. The battery also makes the phone feel more grippy and solid. Plus, if overclocking becomes available in the future, this battery will give you at least a full day of power.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Good for a long trip. I like that you don't have to shut down like you would with swapable standard batteries.

I don't have one but I've thought about it. Also considered one of those power bricks that Monoprice carries. Then again, maybe I should plow that money into a Google Nexus -- or similar phone -- instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
What is the whole idea behind over clock? This rom runs as fast as it should. And that extra bulk in your pocket will be quite noticeable
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] NoobNeutralizer:
Is that a phone in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
happy to see you of course
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
The thing is I have a lot of stuff; so mich that even the most lightweight ROM (CM7) lags for me from time to time. It's not the ROMs, it's how much stuff I put on my phone. If overclocking becomes available in the future, then I wouldn't have to worry about battery life.

I have a huge case for my glasses, so it wouldn't matter if I had another bulge in my other pocket. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
The extra juice powers meloveyoulongtime.apk, which puts the device into continuous vibrate mode.

Great! I see the device is multipurpose now. Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mrazndead:
is there a kernel that has overclock that will work with this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
No, not at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mrazndead:
thanks for the quick answer, saves me from spending hours searching the internet.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
No problem. Over clock is generally not recommended on devices in order to preserve the cpu and battery usage.

Battery Life on CM9 9/17

I installed CM9 9/17 version and it works great with the exception of the 9/11 issue.

My main problem is battery drain. I can't go through the entire day without having to recharge when my last stock ROM lasted at least 30 hours.

I have this ROM stripped of most apps, the screen turned down, and the Performance settings set to the following:

Memory Mgt.

Zram: disabled

Allow Purging: Yes

Kernel samepage: Yes

Processor:

Interactive

Min 122

Max 1024

Set on Boot: Yes

Any ideas on how to get more battery life that I missed?

Does the new 9/25 version improve battery life?

Thanks and a big thumbs up to breathing new life into this phone.

what's the best way to flash the latest release without having to re-input all your apps, contacts and settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
That stuff will all be there after you flash the update, even when wiping dalvik and cache (you are currently using CM9, right?, if not then no). You can even flash it without wiping, see OP. Only things that need to be redone are custom tweaks, like changing the boot.img file, systemui.apk or the equivalent. You have to do those things over again.

Lots of comments on battery lately, I have no issues with that at all. Today my battery was at about 40% after 40 hours of use, albeit light use. I use Juice Defender too.

Gmail

Anybody else have to re-install Gmail with this release? Titanium Backup wouldn't even restore it, I had to do download it again from Play. So far, text hasn't disappeared though. Did this update cure that by chance?

1. When required, items on the working/not working list are changed/added/subtracted.

2. Links are provided to each new source commit every build when possible. Each link provides information in detail regarding current rom changes.

You lower your risk of error if you wipe cache. But you don't need to of you're coming from an earlier version of this rom
