Search playstore for brightness control app. Run it and that should disable autobrightness then can uninstall the app. Worked on cm9 and cm10

Anybody know how to get flash working in the camera app? I know the flash works because it works in tiny flashlight, but there is not option in the stock camera app and apps such as CameraZoomFX have flash disabled for some reason.

photo save location

Is there any way to automatically save new photos to the external sd card? I have the option to do this selected in the camera app settings but the images still save to the internal sd.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
That might have something to do with the "emmc" reference the external SD card has. I've noticed when I use certain apps and try to locate the external card I just get the folder labeled "external sd card" which really points to a folder on the internal. If it's one thing I'd change about this ROM I'd get rid of the "emmc" mount reference. Neutron music player will not work on this ROM because of it but I can still use Poweramp.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Wifi started having major issues today, so I had to re-flash the ROM. Wifi was fixed, but the problem is once I did that, my Google account was erased from the device (that has never happened) and I could no longer sign in or create one either. Every time I tried I got FC or prompted to create an "Exchange" account. Wiping and restoring data in accounts & sync through TB doesn't work either. Play, Gmail and everything was messed up. Tried everything including wiping dalvik and nothing.

Looks like all that is left is factory reset and if I have to restore all over again, I am going to another ROM. Don't know what started the problem but can't have these types of issues occur again. It's a damn shame since I really thought I'd found the best ROM around. Oh well I'm used to this s***t by now.

Not blaming Tim's work since I don't know that started the problem in the first place but I'm just saying I don't want to have this happen again. Thing is now I either have to revert to RR which has no OC kernel or try a JB ROM which will lag all over the place. In a rock and a hard place now.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jhtfarquhar:
Well, RemICS JB with the 3.0 demonsblood works quite well, and 4.2 rootbox+PBE 4.2 is also lag free
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
What about nandroid backup? Don't you keep at least one on your laptop or pc?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
No, I usually don't unless I am going to make a change that could cause issues or switch ROMs. In this case I did nothing but turn off the phone last night and turn it on this morning. Wifi wouldn't pick up any networks, even after another reboot. Like I said, re-flashing the ROM fixed the problem but started a whole different one.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Thanks for the tip, I went ahead with CM10 since all the JB ROMs are based on it anyway. Using Tim's DBK 3.0 kernel too. No matter what on the bright side I get Google Now back.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
So, even if you don't make a nandroid when you flash a ROM (I don't always either) don't you have a known good backup on your PC or SD card?

I'm sorry to hold your feet to the fire, but I feel I know you a little bit from these forums. Presumptious of me, I know.

This is a huge failing and you should recognize it. What in God's name is TWRP / CWM there for? It doesn't help your street credibility to be reckless, either.

/lecture
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Man I used to keep a bunch of backups but they eat up my card space. Plus as I said, I never need one unless I have changed something or installed something. Most of the time I will make a backup after I am satisfied with everything, just didn't this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I'm just so relieved you don't blame Tim.

/sarcasm

Lord knows you could find me chowing down on a big plate of crow tomorrow or the next day. Feathers and all. I had a big F-U with my phone flashing an incorrect kernel just the other day.

Edit: all kidding aside, your comment made me think about something. I'm (maybe) like you, I to wait until I'm "satisfied" before making the backup. Or, I wait until my setup is "perfect" before I make my backup. This is bad thinking. It leads me to not having a backup when I need it.

By the way -- you probably already know this -- TWRP allows you to delete backups (from the restore screen, strangely). I use that feature to free up space every now and then.

Noob alert: losing phone calls

Hi, this is my first post on XDA but I have lurked here since I first bought my Galaxy Exhibit almost 2 years ago. I learned from reading XDA threads like this how to root my phone and flash recovery/roms. Most was on the Peach Sunrise threads, the ROM I used until recently. I decided to try this ROM about a week ago and so far like it better.

However, I have started to notice that I`m missing calls. People tell they call and I have no evidence on my phone. Or I get a voicemail, but no call beforehand. Other times It rings just fine. I am perplexed because this never happened once while using stock or PS.

Has anyone else experienced this? I have read a lot of this thread but I can't say every post so I apologize if I missed it. Any idea what may cause intermittent phone connection problems?

Thanks for all the info I have gotten from this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I've had this happen before where I get a missed call or VM notification out the blue. It's happened on other ROMs I've used but not this one. Only thing is I don't think I've ever had someone call and the phone never get any type of notification at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mike_jnz:
Thanks for the reply. I`m guessing you never figured it out. I was just thinking maybe try SlimBean? But I just found it and not sure if it's running good on T679. Is there any chance a ROM doesn't get along with a particular radio? I vaguely remember something about changing that when I first started.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
It's all about personal preference, and I've switched a million darn times. Somebody asked Camcory a similar question today about preference and he gave the nod to CM10 when it comes to a 4.1 ROM. Keep in mind the other JB ROMs are based on it and like he said, the source gets updated all the time. I tried the first version of Slimbean when it first arrived here but I had so much trouble back then, I prefer not to try it again. But hey, it has its fans too and they love it.

IMHO if you want to play it safe, go either with CM10 for the best JB experience or to play it really safe and stay with Gingerbread, go with Rebel ROM. Right now on CM10 I'm using Tim's 3.0 kernel and they work together very well. Lag is not anywhere near as bad as before.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mike_jnz:
@ ArtfulDodger

Havent tried the phone yet, but I decided to give Slimbean a go and it is running excellent. Not used to the Nova launcher so I quickly went back to ADW pro. Camera flash works, no usb icon, just as fast. This may be a happy accident.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mike_jnz:
false positive

Nevermind. Slimbean started well but had rebooting issues. Phone was no improvement either. Decided overall stay with GB on this phone, just used to it and not ready for change. Maybe some other time ill try cm10

I had tried rebel awhile back and immediately didn't like it, can't remember why.

I think phone issue is just at my house... getting poor signal there by coincidence.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mike_jnz:
Hate to hog this thread, just giving an update. I wont be trying any more roms it seems, since I just experienced the lovely feeling of my first bricked phone. All I did was this:

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

reboot recovery

from the terminal app, with twrp 221 recovery.img.

Now on reboot it just vibrates continuously with a black screen. Unless anyone has a fix, I`m off to eBay to find a new phone to experiment with! Hopefully lesson learned = dont screw with recovery once it's running well enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
Can you get to download mode
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mike_jnz:
Cant find a &*^% cable with the right connector to even try, thats why I tried it in the terminal app on the phone. Now I`m off to at least buy a new cable. But I cant imagine I`ll get into anything on this phone now the way it is just vibrating.

@theAPANT

actually yeh I can to the android that say downloading...., odin mode up top. this I am unsure what to do with it but i`ll research more. thanks for question which made me start thinking.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Once you get a cable you should be able to Odin back to stock. Check the t679 XDA wiki for instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mike_jnz:
@ theAPANT @ meekrawb

Saved the day - thanks for the pointers. After some time I was able to get back to stock, re-root, install TWRP touch as first intended, and now I`m downloading cm10 as ArtfulDodger suggested. Might as well try it while it's screwed up anyway. Thanks to everyone and all these xda forums regarding this phone!!! So much info on such an under rated phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Had some trouble today so best thing to do is flash CM10 as is, no other kernels or anything. Overclocking seemed to cause issues as opening more than one app makes the phone work too hard and crash. Use a good memory manager and the app Seeder to help with lag. Stay away from memory hogs like Dolphin for a browser. Set CPU to 368 min and 1024 max, "ondemand" governor and "row" for I/O. Remember the issue with insufficient memory on these JB ROMs is still a problem btw so it's a challenge to manage it wisely.

Cam's kernel in CM10 is also the latest source too so it might be another benefit to sticking with the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mike_jnz:
I've done exactly as above and it is running smooth and fast, with no known issues from any ROM previous to it. Knocking on wood, and crossing fingers, that it will stay like this. I`m so glad you mentioned it. I have TWRP 2.3.2.3 and JB on a two yr old phone and running great, who thought it could happen? The Devs here are amazing and I`m glad the noobs are tolerated :D. OK I've probably overstayed my welcome in the Kang cm7 thread :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] deschmit:
tethering

Does wifi tethering work on this cm7 rom? It didn't work for me, but I wanted to double check that it wasn't just me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] deschmit:
move apps to external sd

When I try to move apps to the external sd they don't seem to really go there (space doesn't free up). I think they are just moved to a different location on the phone memory. Anyone know a work around? I'm out of space.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
You can try swapsd
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] deschmit:
solved all my sd card problems

I found the solution all my sd card problems.

settings -> cm settings -> Application -> check "use internal storage"

after that I can move apps to my external sd card and setup the camera to save images there automatically too.

For me this rom is much more stable than peach sunrise. I ran into a bunch of force close issues with peach that could only be resolved with a fresh flash. Probably reinstalled the dumb thing over 10 times. I haven't had that issue with cm7 yet. The only thing I have yet to resolve is wifi tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
This is kind of what I was saying in the Peach thread the other day. This is a great GB ROM and wouldn't have left it except for a wifi issue that would have required starting over. I moved on back to JB ROMs but would still use this again if needed.

Dialer causing battery drain?

I was using this ROM yesterday and the day before and noticed the battery dropping like 40% overnight and then losing quite a bit during the day yesterday, too, after having been recharged. Looked in BetteryBatteryStats and "Dialer" was keeping the phone active, kept CPU pegged @ 1GHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] creeve4:
Does this mean the USB connected icon is on even before a USB cable is connected or that after a USB cable is disconnected the icon won't go away?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] BrandonCormier:
It means its always on whether connected or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] creeve4:
Bummer, I was hoping not.

I assume there is not a way to permanently disable it?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Joey11746:
Well, back key and search quick presses dont work >.< And this build didn't come with the setup itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
What do you mean? I was presented with the initial setup when I first installed the ROM. As for the search key shortcut, you have to change it under CyanogenMod Settings >> Input >> Search key behavior.

I would but the missing features veer me away. This rom as it is is AWESOME, haven't really noticed any bugs. Haven't tried USB connection yet, but wifi tethering isn't working in the current version. I also can't wait till the headset jack is working. The USB connected bug really isn't that annoying though!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I'm taking a look at the logcat I get when trying to use the GPS, and it shows "libsecgps: send_gpsd_rx_message: Fail in write()". I did a bit of digging, and found that "gpsd" should be located in /system/bin. I looked at /system/bin from Peach Sunrise, and there was the file. However, the file is not present in CM7. I copied the file over, and it still didn't work, so maybe the file needs to be recompiled. I have no experience in coding, so that's all I have. Now I think it's the new boot.img since the last build of CM7 had working GPS. Doadin (car) and I are trying to figure some stuff out.

Hello, ive been working on setting up device/vendor folders for cm7. I think i have it almost done but when i build currently it stops with the message here: pastebin.com/uRWfnb0Y . If anyone has any ideas or fixes id be happy to try it. You can see what i have so far here: http://github.com/Doadin . The repos ending in ".gb" are the current ones.

In addition to that this is what i used to build

cd ~/android/system/

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread

repo sync -j16

How exactly did you do the device file extraction?

Jocalas github and arcos and the other githubs i used all have 2 things extract-files.sh and proprietary-files.txt all i did was take the stock rom and pull all the files out from it thats listed in proprietary-files.txt. I dont remeber if they where all their but any that were missing i got from others galaxyw/exhibit githubs.

And i don't see anywhere where they say anything about the issue im having, and they are building ics. Id like to know more possibly about what you did exactly to fix it. Its an issue i believe with my device files not being compatible with the version of clockworkmod being distributed with cm7 sources. So i would think the fix would have to be either replaceing the recovery version or makeing the files compatible. Basicly im kinda say im kinda noobish/tired and dont see it lol

Anyways id love to know more on what you did. Thank you in advance and if anyone has any changes to the device/vendor id be happy to make them, just thought id throw that out there,or you could always make your own github whatever. lol

Edit: Also side note i tryed pulling clockworkmod v6 from the cyanogenmod github and replacing the cm7 syncd version with that version and it just gave a different error.

I assume this is not built from source as it says in the OP that this is a port? That would explain why some of the bugs have not been fixed.

What work has been done thus far to try and fix the USB Connected icon issue? I don't want to duplicate what has already been tried.

I imagine this is the file that needs some modification.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
Yes this us a port as this was my first project I built for my self cause u wanted it there are only minor bugs but any one who is not happy with this ROM can by all means build it them selves cause I have to many projects going to for this right now. Pull your source make a kernel have a ball
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] BrandonCormier:
If someone rebuilt this from source and got all the bugs out I would most likely switch to it from Peach. The only reason I went back was because it wasn't finished and the interface was mdpi and not hdpi.

Hmmm i try and change the repo revision for recovery.

Im not sure if this is it but might wana look into it/try? Fix headset detection on AOSP

I was just wondering camcory found the last fix to get cm7 to compile from the device/vendor, and currently it uses the prebuilt kernel from build 10 of cm7. Would it work to use the same kernel source used currently for cm9? After it compiled it "hangs at the boot". In effort to try and fix that id like to get an idea of what kernel would be good to use. Maybe how the kernel currently used was made? Since the fix is in the kernel that would also help to know what source to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
I used jocalas samsung exhibit kernel for that build I belive. I made a few tweaks again in the device folder and compiling it now to see what happens. I was also getting the hang at splash and dont get any logcat info as to why. Im trying it again with new fixes and kernel from build 11. I just cant remember which kernel build it was.
