Could be an AT&T thing, because that switch wasn't available in stock if I remember correctly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] headsupsevenup:
You know, I was getting about 48 hours of battery on stock settings with minimal usage (when we were still at 1.2Ghz)

It looks like I'll only get 50 hours, underclocked to 1Ghz, undervolted 125, dim brightness.

And LTE seems to use LESS battery because it has a stronger, more reliable signal than anything else here in L.A.

I'm going to crank it for max performance so I can really appreciate how much battery I'm saving when I go back to conservative settings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jobankler:
any news on cm10.1? skyrocket and epic both have nightly going great.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Well I have three different 4.2 ROMs built for our phone but I don't have a kernel yet to run it dr4stic has been working on it for a while now so it shouldn't take long
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
What are the 3?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Cm 10.1 AOKP &PAC MAN
[Miscellaneous Android Development] headsupsevenup:
I squeezed 48 hours out of it with stock cpu settings (1.8Ghz, INTERACTIVE! Not even Smartass!) but undervolted by 200 and the dimmest brightness. Had just over 2 hours of screen time and plenty of signal searching.

Are there more wakelocks at 192 Mhz minimum rather than 384 minimum?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
I get alot of lockups and sleep of death stuff and I am at 192 min, so that might be the cause.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
undervolting has serious impacts on performance thou, just be aware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jobankler:
I'm getting a lot of reboots on the latest PAC cm10 ROM. Is there a fix or maybe a ROM that doesn't do that? I tried aokp n just cm10 n got same results. Does cm9 also have this issue?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
I would suggest that you search the thread and find the oc kernel zip link I posted it's the one I told spark not to melt his phone if that doesn't fix it I'm using pa and haven't had a reboot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] headsupsevenup:
minus 200 runs smooth and stable for me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jobankler:
Anyone updates on the cm10.1 kernel? Or is he stuck?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Still being worked on
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
You know guys i feel like a long gone traveler but in my travels i have found a couple of very interesting roms to build for our phone i know we don't have 4.2 yet but trust me when i say there is a lot of brain power working on that look up aocp and i also think i found the answer to the issues i had trying to build baked so I'm going to be getting the source and running the builds sometime in the next week chin up this phone will survive lol:cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3men2:
Hi everyone!!! I just got my Exhilarate today and flashed CM10 1/9/13. Everything smooth so far.

My question is Do I need to adjust voltages if I flash the 1.5 ghz Kernel? Or just pick that frequency in performance setting?

Thanks for this awesome job guys.... Im waiting patiently for 10.1 :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Welcome to the community you can play with the voltages until you find what works for you but i would give it a full cycle before messing with it.. FYI the rom comes oc to 1.8 already
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
I'd flash the 1.8 kernel if I was you. There isn't a downside to it. Just turn the frequency down and set the boot check box in performance settings. Personally, I have it running at stock frequency (1.2 ghz) and use rom toolbox to set voltages (its faster as you can set all frequencies to a certain voltage; but its inverted for some reason so to set voltage down bring it up in rom toolbox). If I need to run faster (for a game) I can just set my frequency as needed and bring voltage back to normal (downing voltage does affect performance).

Also, as a tip I would be careful about setting min voltage down (keep it at 352 or whatever its at). It won't break anything but it will sleep lock (locks up and phone won't wake up) and it locks up while awake too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3men2:
Thank you for your tips guys. I flashed 1.8 kernel and Ive being testin it without changing anything. ROM feels smooth and with no issues for 10+ hours.

I benched with Antutu and scored 10083 and 7044 with an3D. It is very stable. :)

I sold my old cappy to get this one and its awesome. Great job by OP and the team.

I flashed this kernel to my friend's Exhilarate but his phone didnt boot. He has the same ROM I have CM10 1/09/13. Don't know what is wrong with his phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
There's been another reporting the same thing in this thread. Not sure why some phones have trouble.Make sure you do a full wipe in recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Try flashing the 1.5 oc the other guy could get that one to work but not the 1.8
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3men2:
Yes, I did a full wipe but didnt work. Weird thing is that no other of the ROMS posted in the OP booted on his phone. I tried flashing PA, PAC, CM10 latest version of Feb 2013 but none of them booted.

CM9 booted fine but when we inserted the SIM phone.apk started force crashing continously that the phone was unusable. Then I tried with CM10 1/9/13 and thats the only ROM able to boot without troubles and is the one hes being using for two weeks now. So when I flashed the kernel today phone did not boot at all. So I just cleared cache and dalvik and flashed the ROM again and gapps. Phone booted normally. But with my phone I didnt have any issues flashing the kernel. I havent tried other ROMs but I might try later and see if mine boots normally with any of the other ROMS.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
What recovery is he using?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3men2:
The one in OP. The flashable zip

CWM-6.0.1.4-I577.zip.

We didn't use Blaze recovery. We jumped right from ICS update by Kies.

First we ODIN flashed cwm-6.0.1.4-exhilarate.tar then in recovery we flashed the I577.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] j3r3goss:
When you guys say won't boot, does it freeze on the first Samsung logo, boot loop, or freeze at boot animation?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3men2:
His phone shows the Samsung Logo then goes black screen and stays there and does nothing more. :confused:

Today I flashed CM10 2/8/13 to my phone and it booted normally. His phone does as I said above
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
Bought my 2nd exhilarate

Sent from my u8800-51.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
The initial boot does take quite some time. Dunno how long you waited but... yeah

Also, I use TWRP and I think most people here do too (so you may want to try that, if all else fails). Also, never got Kies to update properly so I stop trying to get official Samsung ICS. Maybe that's why a few people have been having issues. Maybe it has to do with the official ICS update. I really don't know,.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3men2:
Well I didn't watch the time but I left it sit for more than 5 minutes while I was reading this thread for answers to this situation. Also is the case that when I flashed CM10 1/9/2013 his phone showed bootanimation in about 30 seconds but yesterday when I flashed 1.8 OC kernel it didn't start the bootanimation after 2 or 3 minutes. Then I flashed back the ROM and Gapps with just wiping cache and dalvik and his phone booted normally.

I will try with TWRP if he let me do it. He is a little scared that something might happen to his phone due to too many flashes. He read the comment about the Flash count eraser posted by j3 and he believes that if he continues to flash the phone it will stop working when the limit is reached. Never heard of that but he is worried :confused:

I bought my phone at Ebay and came with Official ICS (I guess updated via KIES) and I dont have any of the issues he has.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Well you can tell him to relax there is no limit lmao. The ROMs already have ocuv built in if he has flashed one of those ROMs from the op check under performance and you will see the Max is 1.8 just so you know the only one i didn't oc is the cm9 and that's because i didn't build that one

Use the 2/8/13 i think the one you flashed is the 1.5 oc

Edit i reread the post and see that you have tried the other ones i do believe his will run on the 1.5 oc just like the other guys phone that did that not sure why but find the 1.5 zip in this thread and he can flash any of the ROM posted as long as he flashes the 1.5 last then he can find one he likes

Flashable TWRP/CWM

I use TWRP. Here are the zips you can use to flash back and forth between the 2.

TWRP-Recovery-I577.zip - 7.32 MB

CWM-6.0.1.4-I577.zip - 7.04 MB

To the individuals having issues with roms and kernels, the first thing I would do is push the stock ICS via odin (especially if you bought the phone second hand, just to make sure everything is good to go) secondly, I would wipe dalvick cache, cache and system, then do a factory reset. If there isn't anything on the phone that you are concerned with losing I would format the internal sd as well. Don't be afraid to wipe things more than once either... I usually wipe things 3 times, for some reason this was the magic number on my HTC Aria and I just stuck with it.

I usually have issues with stock ics booting if I don't do a factory reset.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
I'm seriously looking at this model of phone as a good bargain to replace my beloved Captivate. This thread seems very active so it seems like a good place to ask some questions and I'll start with one that's fully on topic. It would be great if someone had both phones but the questions are fairly general

Is this build of CM10 as stable as an official stable build?

Does the Exhilarate have video out and is it working on this build? Is it HDMI or composite?

Does the Exhilarate really have the Adreno 220 GPU in it?

I would love if someone could really give a real world comparison to using the Captivate with CM on it vs the Exhilarate with CM on it. As far as reference for performance goes, Grand Theft Auto is a good measuring stick because it's just barely playable on the Captivate but has very noticeable slowdown. Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3men2:
I had a captivate too and replaced it with this one. I dont regret it.

CM10 build is pretty stable. The unoffical thing is probably cuz its not supported directly by CM team. I think.

Does the Exhilarate really have the Adreno 220 GPU in it? you can confirm it in gsmarena or here

I love Asphalt 7 and for me being able to play it smooth I had to overclock my Cappy but still had some slow downs and lag. Another advantage of this CM10 build its that the kernel is OC to 1.8. So Performance is really awesome.

One downside for the phone is the low internal storage but that can be easily solve with an external sdcard. I already ordered a 16GB :D

About video output I cant tell you cuz thats something I dont really worry about to have on my phone. But thats just me. :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
I do not have a Captivate, but I have Grand Theft Auto 3, Max Payne, and a few other serious games. Overclocked with this Rom and kernel Grand Theft Auto runs perfectly. This kernel (lightning zap) alone even without overclock makes it run noticeably faster than on stock CM kernel. As the person above has stated, it's not official because no devs own this phone. That's really all that's stopping this from being official. It's very stable though. Theirs hiccups here and there, but they diffidently are not a problem at all.

IN ADDITION

I have discovered that the issue with switching to 2g IS an AT&T issue. I know because I just switched to TMobile (under Net10s BYOP deal) and 2g switch works fine, unfortunately it sticks to EGDE after this (even if the switch is turned off). But enter that dial code and switch to WCDMA Only and it will use HSPA/+ and 3G again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
Thanks Guys it does sound like significantly better performance from the Exhilarate. It seems to have the exact same screen as the Captivate too. Possibly even recycled from post-consumer captivates since this is apparently the greenest Samsung there is. Supposedly this greenness extended to the power consumption, which doesn't really matter to me as far as greenness goes but does matter on battery life. With the overclocked kernel, how is battery life? I have a 3500mah battery in my Captivate right now and I feel like I might get frustrated by running out of juice toward the end of the day since there doesn't seem to be a reasonably priced extended battery for i577.

Also still looking for the bottom line about video out on this phone.

It looks like the Galaxy Nexus i9250 takes the same battery and it's a lot more common than the exhilarate so extended batteries are a normal price. According to gsmarena, the dimensions of the i9250 are quite a bit larger than i577 so the battery door wouldn't fit even though the doors look practically identical in their photos. Upon close scrutiny it looks like the i9250 has a battery "door" on the back while the i577 has a whole-back battery cover so it's possible that the dimensions of the door are the same. Someone should give that i9250 extended battery a shot at $7 and report back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
I dunno about the Captivate but my friend has the S2 from Sprint and we both have the same issues with battery life. I'm using bluetooth and streaming pandora nearly all day though, and with juice defender, it will only last a day. This is clearly heavy use though. I've gotten reports from other people on this forum they can 48 hours out of the device with pretty decent use. The lightning zap kernel we have also has some additional battery saving tools built right in. A few are optional at the cost of some performance. To name a few:

- Additional battery saving cpu governors (including "Smartass v2 and Lionheart")

- Undervolting

- Underclock (of course overclocking, but that doesn't save battery)

- Optional Scripts

There's probably some more I forgot. I've heard with everything you got you can make it last a week, but I haven't seen this. I use mine heavily though.

I do want to mention, this is still a huge improvement with this kernel. With the old one, I could turn off all radios and it would get down past anywhere 80-60% when I finished work with just being on. With the new governors, that stopped.

I used a hack. This is me actually unlocking my phone. I got a free credit for making the video for him. Despite the horrible filming. I did it at a TMobile store few months ago in case I needed to switch carriers.

I tried an unlock code searcher but they failed to work on several occasions so I never had to pay.

In answer to the sim question... I've had 2 sims that the 2G switch didn't work with both AT&T. Both my TMobile based sims it works with. I get HSPA+ sometimes... It swtiches from HSPA+ to 3G pretty rapidly. It all depends where you are. This phone has frequencies only for AT&T the only reason it even gets any better than that is the TMobile 1900 mhz refarming.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] streetsmart999:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
Yea you do. I guess its more convenient.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
The process takes as long as it took in the video. You do need an invalid SIM (Like one for TMobile; I did it in the TMobile store because I asked to to "borrow" a TMobile SIM because at the time I didn't have one). It's much faster than the services that use your IMEI.

Silence on incoimg calls. Bad baseband?

Hello, gentlemen!

Are anybody knows some baseband version for I577 newer than UCLH3 ?

I have some silly issue :

around every 5th incoming calls have full silence instead voice. :(

It was on official samsung 4.0.4 fw and now on cm10 too.

Is it possible to fix this broblem somehow?

I can't go to official AT&T service because I'm using this phone Russia.

Just wanted to know if there is any news on the 10.1 kernel. Please keep us posted been awhile now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Well not good news everything that they have tried isn't working it has something to do with the HDMI driver which you guys know our phone doesn't have sorry guys but we might be stuck with 4.1.2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spark1223:
I'm ok with that. It would be nice to get 4.2 eventually thou
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 3men2:
Its Ok ... so far you guys have done an excellent job.:highfive:

My suggestion is if you guys can at least make a hybrid of CM 4.1.2 with working features from 4.2.2. For example.. Camera, clock, keyboard, some system tweaks. etc etc...

In my case I removed a lot of the apps I dont use from CM rom and added to the zip 4.2 clock, keyboard and camera. Those are pretty nice add-on that will make the ROM look a little more updated.. Maybe there are also other things from 4.2.2 that can be included in 4.1.2. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jobankler:
Have they looked at the skyrocket? They had no hopes but then got some help and now everything is working. They should take a look at their source cuz cygangen himself worked on the source.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
They think the problem is our phone doesn't have hdmi and and when they rewrote some things they wrote it around the hdmi so that would mean we just don't have the hardware to support it.. Someone might come up with something may be but i wouldn't hold my breath sorry it was a let down for me to but this phone still has allot going for it. Were have oc uv and several roms so it could be worse right
[Miscellaneous Android Development] headsupsevenup:
4.2 features

What we have

"Photo Sphere" - still feels buggy and bloated for our phone

Keyboard with gesture typing - works great!

Lock widgets - we can do this with widget locker, right?

"Quick Settings" - our custom roms (AOKP, PA, PACman) have this, right?

"Daydream" - pretty sure there are apps to do this

New clock app - works great, but can we get a lower res version?

What we don't have

Increased number of extended notifications and Actionable Notifications for more apps - THIS is what I really want. How can we do this without 4.2?

Also, do any of our roms have PIE?

and PIE unless I'm being stupid :)

Panoramic (circular) camera if possible. I know some devices on 4.2 lack that anyways, but it would nice. Not major though. To be honest, I am happy with 4.1 but it would be nice to have 4.2 just to know this device is capable of receiving new android updates, otherwise, I would kinda feel like it [the phone] is outdated.
