The few threads we have for this phone all blend together regardless. I'm on RR 3.09 as my daily driver but I do enjoy playing with CM9 on the weekends. Is that cheating?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi ArtfulDodger,

At this point, I don't think we're OT because for all intents and purposes, this ROM had reached a dead-end.

Thank you for the above. I'll give it a shot .. not now though bro. I need sleep! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
Only if you let rr know she's not there for weekends
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah I believe it now. A couple weeks ago I ruffled a few feathers when this kind of talk started. Now a few people are like "hey, I'm going to go to another ROM". What a difference when Jocala leaves and ironically a CM10 thread starts at the same time.

I've enjoyed the conversations over here even when I wasn't using CM9, and I'll probably nose around a few more times. Meantime I guess it's time to say goodbye to this thread. Maybe those of us who have joined RR can breathe a little life in that thread as there isn't much activity in it.

I dont mind rr but I guess I got so used to peach I just never switched since
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I tried Peach and Exhibition each and had problems with Google Play that I couldn't resolve. If I knew then what I know now, maybe I could have fixed those issues, who knows. Good thing is that Jocala will continue support of Peach, so not a bad move for you I'd say.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
Hmmm what problems did you have with play store. I would like to know
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I couldn't get any of my apps to download and restore. I think now it had something to do with my android ID being changed. (TB can restore the previous one, I know that now) I used TB but I believe I messed up by using the "restore all apps with data" feature. That of course caused some FCs. This was several months ago and the problems were things I could have corrected if I wasn't impatient at the time. Those ROMs are just fine I'm sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
Icic. Every time I flash a rom, I install the apps from fresh. Maybe that's why I never encountered those problems
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
I guess I'll chime in. I'm planning on sticking with CM9 as the only thing not working is 911 and i have a separate work cellphone. There are just certain features I use daily, plus the look/feel/customization of CM9 I'd miss too much. However, I recently installed the leaked JellyBean OTA to my tab so I'm not 100% CM anymore! :p

OK, not sure if it's related to the ROM, but...

Installed the 9/28 version yesterday, and everything seemed to be working fine - if not better than the last ROM I flashed. Everything was speeding along, and I was a happy camper.

Then this morning, after having been tethered for 30 minutes, I started getting a T-mobile message that I couldn't get tethering on my prepaid plan, and indeed nothing (including trying FoxFi, Using an Android User Agent for my browser, rebooting, etc) will let me get past that. I am able to still use my phone, so it does seem to be specific to tethering.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, the no 911 may be a deal breaker for some (I usually have my work phone with me throughout the day...), but other than that, this phone can, and does run CM9 just fine. Video provided as proof of concept for the naysayers.

Oh, and since old phones never stop functioning for 911 even without a sim card, maybe people could keep their old deactivated handsets in the glove box with a car charger just in case? ;)

Well, here's something basic for those who prefer the touch sound from the Samsung ROMs... Copy over the Effect_Tick.ogg file in /system/media/audio/ui/ using ES File Explorer or your favorite root explorer. Set permissions to rw-r--r--

Sorry to have been neglecting cm9 but been busy trying to get cm10 to liking for games.

Anyways finally broke down for Google now. M7 and M7 update flashed over gapps standard will not impede on performances. Loss of memory was so minor that intensive games didn't mind. Benchmarks didn't change and no fc to report from use. With pmr this combo works great but beware pmr gapps will fc this and won't work. Inverted gapps is cm10 so don't try them either. Just download mickeys.

how's the battery life in cm9 anyways

i'm on stock with alot of stuff removed with autokiller memory optimizer and set cpu to manually control cpu speeds

Hi ArtfulDodger,

I'll be swinging over to the RR thread but I thought I'd post one follow-up to the above. This morning I've done as you recommended and of course RR is super fast. Thank you for posting the above invaluable information. It saves me tons of times. :)

I backed up my apps and restored them just now ... I went ahead and took the opportunity to wipe my external SD drive clean. Might as well start fresh. :) I seem to have collected a bit of cruft.

RR has a few scheme issues but I know camcory is great about fixing them. They're not problems at all.

btw, it's interesting, I ran a benchmark just now and the rating is roughly the same as CM9 however RR is far crisper in performance. This is not subjective.

Once again, thank you.

I have to re-dial in this ROM but that should be easy.

If I use Barnacle and change the User Agent in my browser I can still surf the Web, but downloads and other items are blocked. I am now planning to pick up Verizon's Hotspot for $30, and getting their 4 Gigs/$50/month service. Given that voice is about 1 meg/minute of talk using Groove IP I think I will be fine. I want to keep the Exhibit since I figure the Microphone is probably better on that than the one built-in on my tablet. Also would still like to use the GPS on the phone. In this use case, is there any reason to leave my SIM card in the phone (other than to avoid the SIM Card missing message)? Any way to turn off the 3g/4g radio while I am at it to possibly boost battery?

Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Go to system settings then look for the system. Notification drawer. Widgets. There you will find 2g 3g widget to switch to 2g. You can further extend battery by putting the data toggle widget on notification drawer. This will turn on and off data but SMS and phone won't be effected by it being off. Makes a big difference in battery conservation as long as not needing web based something or another. I use that and not the 2 g toggle because I won't be on web too long to worry about drainage.

The sim card removed will only let you make emergency calls if it can.

Verizon sim card is smaller than tmobiles so not sure if you can get it to go Verizon. Mine is unlocked but couldn't use the Verizon card to do it. Had to use another network card.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Glad I could help. Far as the scheme issues, I barely notice them. Maybe on an app or two, but that's it.

Try a benchmark test on Quadrant, watch how much higher that score is. I know in Antutu it's only about a 200 point difference but in Quadrant it's about 800. So far all is still well and I set my CPU slider to 806 min and 1024 max in "performance". Uses more battery but I don't care it makes things even smoother (still can get 1 to 2 days without a charge depending on usage). With screen on off I set a profile for 768 min and 1024 max for "on demand".

This suggestion is from me with practically no knowledge of the code base: is it possible the 911 calling feature is dependant on the vendor's lockscreen files?

It does help out and stable antutu with 3558 bench. This is after my class 10 SD dumped and had to go to antique class 4 SD. My 2d didn't get as high marks but saw 3d hit 58 and Max is suppose to be 57.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Here's why you really aren't seeing any difference. In RR, 3D can hit upwards of over 60fps. 2D gets a score of 82fps. With most other ROMs (stock NOT included) 70 is normal for 2D, 54-57fps is normal for 3D. The tweak really just works on GB based ROMs from what I can tell. It works on Xquizit as well.

Seems to be an Apex Launcher issue, or you have the Galaxy SIII Launcher. Found on Google:

1. Go to settings-->Applications

a.find any launcher app

b. click on it

c. click "Clear Defaults"

2. Press "home" key

a. note the name of the launcher in question in its entirety. The one we want is

"TouchWiz home"... under "TouchWiz home" it shows

"com.sec.android.smando.launcher" This is the file i need to locate.

(you may have multiple copies showing, if so press home and try each one individually to see which one works for you i.e. no force closes. then note that name. Or write them all)

3. using a file explorer, with system set as r/w, navigate to "/data/app"

a. find the apk you noted previously

b. move the apk to "/System/app"

c. make sure permissions are set correctly (rw- r-- r--)

(to change permissions in es file explorer long press-->properties-->"change" button)

4. reboot phone

Can Now Get 3G But Not 4G Any Longer!

Well this answers my question if installing a new ROM will give the phone 3G capability so I can actually use it since there aren't many 4G towers around. It DOES do 3G using UMTS now that it couldn't do before. However, now it can't get 4G with HSPA+ like it could before! I guess that's an improvement since there are more 3G towers but it's not really what I was trying for. Wonder if there will be an update someday to enable HSPA+ again?

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Core2idiot:
CM9 Nightlies, are when I update my repos once a day and build that rom, I don't test nightlies. They are needed because Jocala, has stopped compiling for us. So I have stepped up and decided to compile them myself. They maybe unstable at times, but they should be stable as our device tree has stabilized as has the CM9 tree.

It would be really funny if he missed the part where it says CM9 reports "4G" as 3G but still gets the faster speeds. Of course we all know "4G" is all marketing and isn't out yet. We're really on 3.5G or something like that.

>It would be really funny if he missed the part where it says CM9 reports "4G" as 3G but still gets the faster speeds...

That would be funny if that was true, but it's not! It doesn't get the faster speeds and only runs UMTS now, it can't do HSPA+ anymore to get "4G" like it used to. If I compare the Exhibit II side by side with a Galaxy S, the Galaxy S can get UMTS 3G and HSPA+ 4G as reported by OpenSignalMaps and Network Signal Info depending on where I am and what towers I happened to be near but the Exhibit II can't get HSPA+ anymore like it used to, just the slower UMTS 3G now. It doesn't even connect to or see the same towers as the Galaxy S anymore! I even drove over to the T-Mobile store where there is a very strong 4G signal since it's right next to the tower and the Exhibit II got nothing but UMTS 3g there!

Yes, I know T-Mobile "4G" is actually 3.5G but it goes up to 22Mb or so while UMTS 3G can only do about 7Mb.

Also, screen response when I tap it is a lot slower than before but that's a different problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cmikeh2:
@Steve

I did a comparison a while back between stock and cm9 on this if you look at the status in the settings of stock, even when the phone says it's on 4g it reports that it's using UMTS. The phenomenon is solely marketing by T Mobile to keep the idea of 4g as ubiquitous in the mind of the customer. The drivers for the radio are exactly the same between gingerbread and cm9 so real world use is identical. When making large downloads the phone will jump into HSPA+ mode but for the rest of the time it sticks to UMTS for battery concerns.

To all in the big discussion of who is in the right or wrong, try and have a little more patience. I know it can be aggravating when you think that someone is missing something that is obvious to you, but it's really a lot easier in the long run to just explain it initially in a civil manner. Not trying to come off as condescending so please don't take it that way.

This is true. My phone always says 3G, but switches to H when downloading, then goes back to 3G.

Also, even though he's now ignored, Nightlies aren't forced updates. You can flash over the update whenever YOU want. They're just always supplied on a nightly basis in case there have been any changes to the repos. Since it's CM9 there probably won't be many new changes, but its still offered...
