"Stable"

"Stable" attempts to give you a working device. It is based off of the 2.6.35 kernel, which enables more stability. You are flashing this out of your own free will, and at your own risk.

What works:
-Phone
-Wifi
-SMS/MMS
-GPS
-Bluetooth audio
-HW accelerated display
-Headphone detection
-Microphone detection
-T-Mobile Wifi-calling (works for most)
**Note I have no way of testing WiFi Calling, as I am using this phone unlocked on AT&T**
-init.d support
-CIFS networking
-Haptic keyboard feedback
-Market/Play
-Gmail
-Browser
-Screenshots
-Streaming video
-Vibration
-Camera
-Tiny Flashlight
-Most Third Party Camera Apps
-911 Emergency Calls

No Work
-Flashlight HD LED
-Snap Chat doesn't enumerate flashes properly and crashes so if you want to use snap chat flash [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34891248&postcount=590"]this[/URL] however it disables the flash, so don't flash if you don't need snapchat...

The latest stable is 11/25/12

Unstable

Unstable will have new features but more bugs. Use unstable at your own risk. They may brick devices and probably will have broken items. You are flashing this out of your own free will and at your own risk.

FAQ

What is Cyanogen Mod?

CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors of these cell phones. (Source: Cyanogen Mod Website)

I have a stock Samsung Galaxy Exhibit can I install this?

Unfortunately not out of the box. You first will need to root and install recovery, more information is availible here

Unstable or stable?

Stable is based off the Linux kernel 2.6.35, it will be more reliable in more aspects, and has camera working. Unstable builds are built off of the 3.0 kernel. The 3.0 Kernel is a much newer kernel, which will be considerably faster and probably more stable in certain areas. The open Linux kernel version is significantly hgher, but that hasn't been ported to our device (and probably never will be), for more information on Linux see here

Can I overclock?

Yes. There are custom kernels available here that allow for overclocking. Warning overclocking may cause harm to the device. Flashers beware.

What do you mean you don't use this?

I don't use these builds as I have moved on to Cyanogen Mod 10. Although I am building these for the public good. Occasionally I may try a build, or once I actually get a second device, I will probably start testing builds. Untill then no I don't use these builds and I have no intention of using these for my daily driver as Cyanogen Mod 10 works better for what I want in a ROM. I currently working on 4.2 on the side but have not gotten anywhere yet. If you want to help me port 4.2 look here. Currently I use Cyanogen Mod 10 built by camcory

This is a 4G device so why do I never see 4G in the status bar, and what is H or H+?

Well T-Mobile wants to sell it as a 4G device but in reality it's a 3.5 device. T-Mobile uses HSPA and HSPA+ which stands for High Speed Packet Access, which is really an evolved 3G standard, but not true 4G but faster than 3G so Android calls it H and H+, because calling HSPA 4G is like calling EDGE 3G. EDGE could be called 3G but people don't as it's not really 3G, it's 2.5G. Another explanation is available here. If you really want HSPA and HSPA+ reported as 4G (and to buy into the marketing propaganda) you can look here. These 4G icons will never be included in this ROM as calling HSPA+ and HSPA 4G is one of my personal pet peeves. You are free to flash them yourself.

I have this really cool user interface mod or app I want to be included can you include it for me?

No. I'm keeping the Cyanogen Mod interface as stock as possible. If you want something please install it on your own device. Don't ask me to include it, as people should be able to customize their own device to their liking I shouldn't force it on them. I believe in you choosing what you have. So I try not to force anything on anyone.

I installed this ROM but where is Google Now, I had it before so where is it?

Google Now is actually part of Jellybean, not Ice Cream Sandwich, this ROM is based off of Ice Cream Sandwich. So the GAPPs files do not have Google Now. One can install Google Now, although it maybe buggy as it is not designed for ICS, for more information look here

I am interested in donating; can I?

I enjoy donations, but i don't need them, I probably will soon once I graduate High School (I'm a senior :good:), but right now I will gladly accept donations, but I don't request them and really the most useful donations are in kind, if you have any phones/tablets/computers you want to get rid of, PM me and I'll take them (and pay for shipping if you want). I do have monetary donations setup, if that's all you can do feel free.

There hasn't been an update in forever and a half, whats up?

As there has been a code freeze in CyanogenMod 9 and we already have most everything working in the stable build, I have also moved to a Motorola Atrix, I see no reason to actively work on this rom. If you find a bug you want fixed and you have found a fix, feel free to PM me and I'll work on applying that fix, if there is just a bug you can still PM me and I'll try to locate a fix and apply it.

Thank You to: Jocala (for getting the ball rolling), Arco (for being an awesome Galaxy W developer), Cars1189 (for the 911 Patch and general help), Cyanogenmod (for the ROM Source), Dorregaray (for CameraHAL), Tom3q (for making me want to dev and for being an AWESOME Galaxy Spica developer, he literally rewrote all of the drivers for the Spica), Thomas Hounsell (for writing a page long post on why I'm worse than a idiot in 2008 [that I wish I could find...]), and thank you for using my ROM and reporting issues.
