I am pretty new to making flashable zip files. lol the first one I tried wiped my whole system and freaked me out. at least this one just aborts. so I guess I am getting better at it. If you are experienced at putting files on your phone you can do it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
Yea why not give us ICS or something, way more people would buy the phone if it had ICS and advertised for the price it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jdills1196:
Do you know the directories where I should put them?

It's no problem. I was just saddened. I really need to learn how to do all of this myself..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!

use es file explorer. you can get it at the play store. make sure es file explorer has root access, go into settings and select root explorer and allow it when super user asks. then select mount file system. then go to favorites and tap the phone icon that has a slash under it.

then look at the contents, you will see a folder called "system" and in that folder you will see one called "apps" and one called "lib" .

if you look in the zip file you will see the same folders, just move the contents of the zip file folders (ignoring the meta folder) into their respective folders on the phone. you will also have to change the permissions of each of the files to match the ones there already. if you long press on the file you will see the current permissions and you can change it from there. it will look something like this.

its like a three by three grid of check boxes make sure they are checked as shown. after all that then just reboot. Good luck. :)

Just a thought, why do we need the the Tmob update when we all are anticipating the jocala camera fix? Im on day 2 om CM9 and im loving it. It's so crisp to look at... Also at 10 hours of minimal to moderate use my battery level is 49%. How is the charge holding for everyone? Is this good ? I think it is... If and when a camera fix is done, i will use CM9 daily... my two cents worth... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Battery for me is charge 2 times a day. But I'm spending quite a bit of time in cwm flashing between ics and gb and doing nandroid.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
I've found that the more I flash in one day the less battery life I get. Still waiting on my extended life battery to get in though...Hopefully it helps with the drain from flashing so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
The battery from Hong Kong really does help. Glad to hear you ordered it!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ja5219:
Ordered one as well so glad so many like the battery.. Just want to get at least a full day of very heavy use as its what keeps me entertained when im out a good chunk of the time..

Ordered it back on May 23rd with expected delivery of June 1st - 6th..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
So I'm taking that you guys like the $4 battery? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jdills1196:
Thanks. Time to see if it works, right now it just says "Please wait while connecting to T-Mobile network" I hope it connects soon. It didn't instantly crash or anything, though, so maybe we're already a bit further.

Edit: Doesn't seem to be working. Maybe if I mess with it a bit it'll work.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
The one from Hong Kong? I oreded that but it hasn't made it out of china yet:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Mine didn't take too unreasonably long to ship. Probably about 1.5-2 weeks, it was a satisfying purchase. When did you order?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TheGeekRedneck:
I ended up ordering a combo deal with 2x 1700mah batteries, a battery charger with USB port, an extra USB data cable, a TPU gel case, and 3x screen protectors for like $13 shipped off Ebay.

So far I am totally pleased. The two extra batteries are slightly better than the stock one, the wall charger is totally awesome because it has a USB port you can use at the same time you're charging your batteries out of the phone, and the TPU gel case seems to work well. My only complaint is that the screen protectors they sent me are for the Galaxy W and they have a cutout at the bottom where the W has it's physical button or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ikaritensi:
I actually received mine today. Ordered on May 8th. So far is alot better than stock and a good bit better than the two Hyperion batteries I got off of Amazon last month. Thank you very much for pointing this one out.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] loser7787:
Quick question.

Hello, first time rooting my phone and been using this rom for 2 days and I love it.

The only thing that I I have noticed is that in call volume wasn't very loud compared to stock gingerbread. One time i was able to make it louder but I cant figure out exactly what I did. some combination of turning volume up and down along with turning the speaker on and off made both the speaker and handset speaker volume a good amount louder.

Is this a known bug with a workaround or is it just for me?

Wonderful work though still completely usable day to day for me thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Fatty1212:
I know.... i guess it was born out of my observation of battery drain while testing this ROM. I reiterate, i will probably use this CM version even if the camera fix is the works, it's clean crisp, fast and stable. Cant wait until jocala and the other devs do a final tweak to it.... i'm keeping my fingers crossed. If it does, i probably wont flash the Tmob update. ;)

CM9 Wifi Tethering Issues?

Is anyone having issues with wifi tethering using WPA/WPA2? I've tried using my iPad2 and several computers, but everything would return a "could not connect to network" error. Sure, I could just keep the ap as open, but some of the places I work at, I don't want just anyone jumping on my hotspot.

I first started having this issue a few days ago after I flashed the camera fix, but I reflashed the 5/14 CM9 beta after several lockups. Also, with newest update (5/29), the camera does work in panoramic mode, but for some reason, it is stuck in sepia mode.

I would like to thank jocala and others for making this possible, makes the "Galaxy Exhibit 4G" a FAR better phone than before. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Fatty1212:
My apologies, the camera does work in panoramic (sp) setting. I didnt even check until the previous post commented :(. With regards to the WiFi tethering, it works for me if i set to open. I confirm cuz im replying now connected with the open network on my phone. Let me try again with the WPA PSK setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Octanee:
not sure if this problem i have is related to the rom, a issue with its build, which i cant remember what build i have, prob 2 months or so old now or a bit older, but it keeps saying that it fails to send the msg, and it seems more specifically on longer messages above 1 single text send,

also it seems like either its the rom, or my cell reciever is bad, because it will say i have no service when i do, basically ill sit at home, i have 5 bars, then it will say i have none, and nothing works, so i set it to airplane mode and then put it back to normal, and bam 5 bars again, e verything works!,

anybody know whats u with any of that?

also is anybody talking camera? am i hearing the dev got the camera workin now? =D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Fatty1212:
I'm on day 3 now and I love this rom so far. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Fatty1212:
The camera works only in panorama mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ninjames:
Damn, you guys! I go away for a few days on vacation and suddenly there's updates, cameras and something about Hong Kong! You're supposed to only go a page or two, I hate backlogs!

Excited about the camera progress, either way. My headphone port already doesn't work - not having a camera has made the phone feel less-than desirable for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Yes, I think this is a known issue. To work around, click down volume once before clicking up volume when taking a phone call.

Even in best case, this phone lacks the muscle to punch through a noisy environment.

Sort of related, but I can't see that the DSP has any effect whatsoever. But my hearing ain't what it used to be. (Too much Who music.)

Am I the only one that is not seeing all that much improvement with the said hong kong battery? Yeah, it arrived in just a week, but it's really not all that better for me. A little, maybe 3 hrs? And I am not even on CM9 at the moment.

I don't regret, it's a great $4 spare battery, but I am just not getting what seems to be described as a miracle by some here.

Updated to the new firmware and there is not much different. It does seem faster though which is nice also, there is still no bluetooth voice dialing which just blows my mind.

I googled kies and downloaded it from another link and installed. I believe you will have to go to pure stock to update. Just a word of warning I have not been able to root the phone yet.

I tried zerg rush and superoneclick
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Flash2Rom is pure stock. One of the "improvements" claimed on the update page is "Google Security Fix." This could well be code for "plug the zergrush hole" :(

If you're bitten by this, try flashing back to original stock via my flash2stock or odin or whatever, or try flashing my rooted kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
does that include kernel and recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
My rooted kernel includes cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
The next release of cm9 should include T-Mobile's wifi-calling. It works in my test build.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
If I go back to stock and update will I still be able to reflash cwm from the default recovery or does the update prevent this?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
You don't have to rename cwm. It flashes fine as is.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
K just going off of what I read. Not bothering to get the new update, personally. Full of bloatware. It's not like it's an upgrade from what we're used to running.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] richardlibeau:
Since it doesnt say update i always thought you had to rename it that or stock recovery wouldnt flash it. I have had other zips that you had to rename or it wouldnt flash through stock recovery. Maybe youre right though. I always rename it just to be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
Actually the update is pretty nice, the performance is greatly improved and it looks like they have enabled hardware acceleration for the interface every thing looks clearer kinda like ICS . Just looking for a safe way to root. Any stock roms built from this will be pretty nice.

jocala, are you saying that I can flash our cwm from my updated stock recovery without being rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
Is there anything new like lockscreens (facelock).

Sorry wrong thread for these questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] philhull:
I'm sure that a feature like that would have been included in the list of updates when T-Mobile made the announcement. I doubt they'd just slip that one in to see if anyone notices.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Intercepter:
So if I get cwm on there I can make a backup then flash what ever I want?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] richardlibeau:
Yes i am actually thinking about backing up the update just to extract the boot img and apply it to my xquizit rom just so itll say samsung galaxy exhibit when it boots up. Dont know if itll work but i think i try just to see if it works. For anybody who wants the complete zip rom with update they have it already out at hotfile.com. The update is only 33mb. But the whole rom is 314.5mb
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] daizoninc:
Of you succeed in getting it to a say galaxy exhibit on boot would you mind explaining how so I can do it to cm9?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] bobTheAvenger:
I absolutely love CM9. Been running for at least 2 or 3 weeks now. As of the most recent build (with camera fix) inverkeithing works as indicated in this thread. Haven't tried silent camera yet, but stock cam in panorama works nicely (colors seem a little off, but could have been ambient light). I've been having problems with the built-in tethering. I can use barnacle just fine for PCs, but would love to see built-in work. Speed and stability are better than stock for me. As is battery life. Not much better, but not worse.

The only real problem I've had is when I play worms (yes I'm cheesy) at random times it will just stop responding to the touchscreen. Easy to reproduce, happens every launch. And I don't see any errors in logcat. I can post if you would like to see.

Either way many cheers to Jocala. If there is anything I could do to help development, I would love to. I'm a competent programmer and long time Linux user.

Cheers!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
I can confirm this. Does someone have Wifi tethering with WPA working OK?

Also, is anyone using Talkatone? With the 5/28 build, I get an error when the call connects that Talkatone can't access the "voice call" audio stream, and I get no audio, but audio out works. Talkatone has options to change the stream it uses to other streams, "music" and "system", and those should work, but after I reverted to the 5/14 build to fix Wifi tethering, Talkatone inadvertently also got fixed and the "voice call" stream works.

Not sure why anyone cares about the update. Isn't the whole point of this thread to get away from stock? I'm sure someone can create a ROM to call your phone whatever you like, but what's in a name? It's the experience that should matter. To hell with stock - you can get that from the store. I'm a noob so I can't help program, but I'll be a test pig if it will help make CM9 fully functional.

A Bit of experimenting with the Battery...

Ok, I know before I write this that there is going to be a cry out by a few people of "Nuh-uhu, its gotta be software/OS based....<Insert example of how I am wrong here>" but I thought I would share a little experiment that I conducted today.

I have a nice Gel case for my phone, it completely surrounds it and stuff. I noticed that my phone did not do well on CM9 in regards to battery life but did well enough to last a day with moderate use (And I never complained except once and come to find out, that was an App that wasn't compatible with CM9 so GPS was sticking on for some reason). Well today, I woke up and saw that in my house that I was only getting one bar of service (which is common) and that my case was starting to look a little rough. So I took it off and washed it and noticed that my phone went to 4 bars instantlyr. This sparked an idea that "O crap... maybe theres something to this". Went the ENTIRE day without the cover on...noticed that websites connected better, loaded faster, and that my connection (Which is mainly on the Edge network because I live in the boonies) was more reliable... and to top it off, I still had 60% battery life after a good 12 hours of moderate-heavy use... so, I'm going to mess with this for a few days but maybe the big disconnect here with differing battery results isn't software based, magic fairy based, karma based, or "Jacola casting evil magic against people he doesn't like" based... but actually physically based on what is covering your radios in your phone. (Btw, GPS also connected faster and found me faster).

tl;dr: Maybe our phone covers are causing the phones to work too hard... try taking off your cover and see if that helps with battery.

So, I did the update through kies, but the phone got stuck on the

"Samsung Galaxy Exhibit"

"Exclusively from Tmobile"

splash screen.

So, being more brave than smart, I flashed the above linked .tar.md5 in odin, worked like a charm.

Had my fun playing with the update, back to cm9 now :)

It is nice that we have the full stock 2.3.6 rom to possibly make a new flash2stock out of.

also wondering if there will be a new version of the rooted kernel reflecting the rebranding.

to recap, I got the update in kies, it loaded, but on boot it got stuck on the splash screen.

I then used odin and the full 2.3.6 stock rom to flash the updated rom complete.

I then flashed the rooted kernel

I then installed cm9 fresh (528)

Hopefully this info contributes to cm9 dev on our phones as well as to any who find their way here having difficulty with the update, or difficulty migrating to cm9 from a phone with the 2.3.6 rom.

so i was just browsing the official 2.3.6 update and noticed a libCamera_ics.so, could they have secretly planted the files we need for camera on ics? lol that would be pretty epic imo anyways just thought id mention that incase it was since i know some people arnt rly looking at the stock roms, would hate to missing something thats sitting right under our nose :P

i was just thinkin about adding the files to the 05.28 build and uploading it
