Still my favorite

I have used the 4.2.2 Slimbean ROM (including the 4/1 release) and I still prefer this 4.1.2 ROM (2/25 build). The 4.2.2 ROM may eventually surpass 4.1.2 ROM, but it isn't there yet in my opinion.

Thanks Cam for the great ROM. Just wanted to give this ROM some props. If anyone is lurking and investigating ROMS this is a good place to land for a stable, nice performing ROM for the Galaxy Exhibit.

What exactly is HW Vsync? I thought vsync had already been turned on with Project Butter when we first got the 3.0 kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
It wasnt working due to display files and kernel support. It would build fine but testing it during boot logcat showed hw vsync not supported now it is supported.

Ah okay. I will test this out later today. Thanks for building this!

Auto downloading of apps

Perhaps someone can help me here or confirm what I see. In other ROMs such as 4.2.2 Slimbean, when I flash the ROM after a full wipe and then sign in, the apps will autodownload from google. However, in the 4.1.2 ROM, this never happens even though I have the backup and reset settings set to back up and restore. So, it is a chore to flash after a full wipe. (I do have a titanium backup, but I think the autodownload is a cleaner way of installing the apps). Am I doing anything wrong?

I did flash the new April 2 4.2.1 build over the Feb 25 build. I experienced some lag. When I flashed the new build after a full wipe, it didn't prompt me to log in as it usually did. I did log into my google account and my apps didn't download. I had limited time, so I used my 0225 nandroid. So, I can't comment on the performance after a full wipe.

Any comments/help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] underscorenorm:
I read in a different thread that the auto download is a feature of the pro version of titanium. I'm a bit of a noob so I can't say if there's a better way to do it. I'll be flashing the 4/2 release in a minute.

my games dont load up to play they just load up then close

Yep. Definitely weird. I went back to 3/10 and its still non-existent. Any tips? If there isn't a quick/easy way to do it, I'll drop it back to stock and see where that gets me.

Snapchat works, and picks up the camera, but the app it's self isn't on the phone. Weird. Maybe I'm missing something.

0402 build?

Can anyone comment on on the 0402 build performance in comparison with previous version such as the 0225 build?

I am quite fond of the 0225 build. I flashed the 0402 build on top of the 0225 build, but I don't think it performed well. I haven't done a full wipe test of it. Can anyone comment?

Also, I did a battery comparison of 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. 4.1.2 was significantly better: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185107&page=16 post #156.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

I had a few minutes so I went ahead and did a full wipe and flashed the 0402 build (along with extras.zip and slim_gapps.zip). Unfortunately, Google Play Store isn't working for me. I get the error message "Unfortunately, Google Play store has stopped".

Has anyone else experience this? Has anyone had good fortunate with the 0402 build??
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Remove your Google account and re-add it. Clear Play data. Should fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tr0yz:
Goto into manage apps and clear data on the Playstore, that will fix the Google Playstore issue. Thus is needed with quite a few Roms even if a full wipe is done before the flash. If clearing data alone doesn't work then go into recovery, do a full wipe system, data, cache, dalvik then reflash the rom and as soon as phones initial boot before opening the Playstore go into the manage apps option and clear data that will 100% fix the Playstore issue. Goodluck friend hope this helps

nos script

Hey just wanted to let everyone know that I am running the latest slimbean 4.1.2 with NOS script and it works perfectly. my phone flies now and there doesnt seem to be much adverse effect on the battery life.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2158329

im using 0.32R1, just make sure that you use CWM to flash and have the latest busybox updated!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
fyi you dont need cwm i flashed it to be curious and i use twrp everything worked fine
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] an0maly13:
How can you tell that it is flashing correctly with TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
what ya mean? the window is the same when you flash something in twrp its just smaller. you can still see what its doing etc
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Just try running the script in Terminal after flashing as described in the NOS thread. If it runs than it's working. I guess that's what Smartguy did (right Smartguy?). BTW I would enable "init.d support" in PMR too just for insurance. Just don't enable ANY other tweaks except for ad blocking or the GPS file.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
yea thats what i did art. people just suggest using a certain recovery because thats what they use. twrp is the best imo plus its open sourced :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] an0maly13:
I would agree with you! TWRP has much more options and features and it feels a lot faster but I just can't stand the red theme. Its my least favorite color to begin with anyways :p:p
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
well maybe someone can make one with the stock theme
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] skyrmion:
Yeah, I flashed nos with twrp no problems too. Already had crossbreeder installed so didn't need busybox (installed with cross breeder). Jury is still out with nos, still testing, but glad it works for you, artful.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] an0maly13:
No worries bud I am beyond grateful for how much you've done with the phone. :good::good:

I'm just curious because I believe that you can very easily theme TWRP by placing a folder called "themes" with a ui.zip in it. I can't seem to find any themes that are compatible with this phone's resolution, however. any idea where I could find a stock theme?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
no idea just google twrp themes 480x800 maybe something will come up...i know there are a few on xda
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] an0maly13:
Yep I tried that but the only ones available are from super old versions so the layout is messed up and some of the features are missing. thanks though!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Well I've had all kinds of trials and tribulations with this device, and for once this phone is running smoothly and STAYING that way. You know all the times I thought things were kosher only to have stuff happen later. Not to say something still won't happen, but it's awful nice to have JB running like it is on my phone right now and not have the reboots and freezing. All the tweaks in the world never made a difference until the NOS script was flashed. That's all I can say.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
ArtfulDodger/all

Thanks for posting about the NOS script. I'm not a big fan of tweaks, but I tried it. I couldn't really tell a difference in performance. It may have had a small improvement on battery. Today, however, I noticed my gmail not syncing. That rarely happens. I deleted the gmail data (which is a surefire fix for it when I have had it not sync in the distant past). Still it wouldn't sync.

I did a nandroid back to the version without NOS and syncing was fine. I was quite happy with my 4.1.2 performance anyways. I just can't help but try things out sometimes....

So, I'll probably stay away from NOS for now. I'd be curious to hear how it goes for others after giving it a few days.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
The account sync issue you described happened to me with Slim 4.2 before I switched to Baked or used NOS. It was just out of the blue after a reboot and I fixed it by going into Gmail, settings and enabled sync. It was weird because I couldn't just go into settings and then into the Google account to get sync working again, I had to do it through Gmail. I thought it was a fluke so I didn't post anything about it and switched days later. Anyway I can see why you formed the conclusion you did being that it only happened after using the script.

On that note battery life is way better as well as I posted over in Baked.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] an0maly13:
For some reason, my phone has immensely better battery life with slimbean 02/25 build compared to the 04/03 build. It is also much more consistent at staying in deep sleep and not haveing random wakelocks in the middle of the night. I am running the NOS script
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
I love nos, I'm not using oc right now and its still smooth as butter
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah the difference in the phone is night & day, I only wish I'd known about it so much sooner. It's not even the same phone and I don't exaggerate. We have to give a big thanks to our old pal "Hatememarkz" or "Hatememarkez" as I like to call him. Got so much grief from folks so many times, sometimes for good reasons and sometimes not. Regardless would have never known about NOS unless he had mentioned it first. I'm just a promoter of it, and gladly!

Hey guys how do I install busy box 1.20.4+/ run part support so I can install NOS.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
Doh! Should have closely read OP

I discovered the source of some of my problems:

1) Couldn't get 0402 build to work (Play store problems, no welcome page after flashing)

2) Not having my apps download automatically after signing in (thus making trying new ROMs difficult)

3) having an unsigned gmail app

The solution to all was flashing the right gapps. I had gotten used to flashing a certain jb gapps program and I didn't read the OP closely enough. Now I have the 0402 version of this ROM running well with the right GAPPS and I can test the battery performance and then also the NOS script as well.

Thanks everyone for your comments on these matters.

This ROM is a really good one. If NOS makes it better, I'll be even happier.

0403 vs 0225 battery performance

I did a proper flashing of the 0403 build and I did my apples to apples comparison of battery that I have been doing for my last number of ROMs. There is no question that the 0225 build has better battery performance than the 0403 build has for me. I agree with the comment about deep sleep as well. The comparison was performed without the NOS script.

Yesterday I had to drive a few hours between cities with Waze running and my charger plugged in. I sometimes has music running as well from either Tune-in radio or something local on my phone. I noticed that the battery percentage was staying the same (not charging) or actually discharging. I had seen this on my seriously underpowered older phone and I think it was a sign of the processor having to work too hard or getting too hot and the battery therefore not charging. In any case, this never happened in many similar uses with the 0225 build.

Also, last night, I had the phone uncharged and on airplane mode. It discharged some, whereas the 0225 build can just sit in airplane mode without discharging almost at all.

I will be going back to the 0225 build. I may just stay there because it really does work well for me.

This is just FYI. I hope it helps someone.

Does WiFi encryption fully work on the 2/25 build? I can't remember if it was broken then or if the next release did it. I am getting kinda tired of Gingerbread so I might switch to this rom with the nos script.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] one800pepper:
I'm pretty sure camcory's 2-25 builds were released before WEP was broken. I do know that in the 2-25 CM 10 build, there is a bug with the landscape keyboard getting partially blacked out. That might just be a CM issue though, not sure..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
Yes, WIFI WEP encryption works fine on the 0225 build. Landscape keyboard seems to be fine as well, on the 4.2.2 keyboard that I am using on this build. I assume stock landscape keyboard is fine also.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] underscorenorm:
Luck would have it..

The only keyboard issues I saw in 2/25 were with swype and chrome not playing nice together. Went away with the april release... Sidenote, I had lots of issues with previous roms, even stock.

Story for anyone that's interested:

I bought this phone on amazon for $98 refurb.

Amazon cancels the order: out of stock

4 hrs later I get an order confirmation

2 days later i get the phone, and I'm charged for it

Phone wont stay on for more than 30 seconds. I experiment with a ton of roms, nothing works.

Contact Amazon, they say it was a mistake, I wont be billed, and I should "throw the phone away"

Use odin to bring it back to stock.

Contact Samsung: 2 months left on the warranty, so I RMA it, Amazon charges come off my account

They replace the main board, no charge, they even paid for shipping

10 days later, phone works fine, completely free.

It's never been -perfect- until I put slim bean on it. I love this phone and I am thankful for the work the devs have put into this rom.

I finally tracked down my gmail sync problems. It was not due to NOS. Sorry that I maligned it. The last update of gmail causes it not to sync well for some people. I checked some of the comments for gmail in the app store and some others are also having that problem. Much fewer than I would imagine, however. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out what it was.

I uninstalled gmail and grabbed an older version on http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/apps . Now it is syncing just perfectly on both wifi and 3/4g.

Perhaps I will try NOS again. The new kernel on CM10 that might make it to slim sounds appealing as well.

Peace.

MMS/SMS

Okay, new issue, not convinced it's the ROM because I've had this problem before... 90% of the time my MMS/SMS works fine.. After I get a phone call, or call someone, I'm unable to send MMS/SMS. After I reboot my phone, everything works fine. Maybe there's a process hogging the radio, or something doesn't end right? I don't think this happened on stock, but I definitely remember it happening with CM9.

I'm going to do some testing today because it just dawned on me that I've been using wifi on the phone for the past 2 weeks. T-mobile and their darn 2gig b/w cap...
