Is the 3.0.64 kernel available as a separate download? It looks like DBK 3 breaks bluetooth.

I did make a nandroid backup before I flashed the DB kernel, so I'm good either way. It would be more convenient, however, to just flash the original kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
That kernel is baked into roms not a download
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
For what it is worth, I flashed the "powered by evil" kernel and it fixed my bluetooth problem. :p And it's overclockable.

So, this is a rhetorical question -- no need to reply, but don't you agree it would be helpful to have stock kernels available for flashing?

It would facilitate experimentation. Of course it would mean more work for devs. Just thinking out loud here.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
It must be cause this ROM isn't built with 3.0 cause I just tested it using slim and it works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
I think I got my build directory setup right again, it takes like 3 hours or so for a fresh build so if I have some time today....
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
After using it a while, things went bad. I think it happened once I raised the clock mildly, to 1.2. Maybe it would've happened anyway. Use this kernel at your own risk.

I restored my nandroid with the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rajputforlife:
Quick noob question here, when you say this ROM comes with an overclocked kernel, you do mean that it is already overclocked to a certain speed, correct? What would that certain speed be, and if necessary can I change it to go back to normal speed? This is my first experience with overclocking, and I want to know what I'm getting into beforehand.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] interessant:
I would appreciate a new linaro odexed build with newer kernel too. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tceffErorriM:
The DBK link doesn't seem to be working. Is this link somehow specific to the ROM or can I find a link from another thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
The speed of the original kernel that ships with this phone is approx 1024 MHz maximum. It clocks down to a lower frequency when load is lessened.

The kernel that ships with this ROM is not overclocked, nor is it overclockable. It is different than the original kernel that comes with the phone, however. Edit: Upon re-reading the OP and nearby posts, I think I'm incorrect. The shipping kernel may be overclockable out-of-the-box. But it clocks normally until you tell it otherwise.

In the original post of this thread are links to two alternative kernels, which can be flashed over this ROM to provide overclocking. Usually the new kernel does not immediately spring to the higher clock -- it acts much like the stock kernel until you unleash it.

To unleash the higher clock, you open a settings panel which shows you a new set of hitherto unavailable frequencies.

Some ROMs have the settings panel built-in. If your ROM doesn't, you can download an app that reveals the settings you need. I recommend No-frills CPU Control. I'm not running this ROM right now so I forget if the OC panel is built-in. (I like it built-in.)

You are wise to ask questions beforehand; it can be a pain if you get in over your head.

Best practice might be to make a nandroid backup before you proceed to install a new kernel.

Yes, look in the forum's Original Development section for the Galaxy Exhibit II. There are some threads for custom kernels.

I think the DBK can be used with several different ROMs. Use at your own risk. I had some issues with bluetooth, so I didn't pursue.

In the best situation, OP links get checked and updated. Also, when a kernel is mentioned in the OP, that seems like an endorsement of sorts. Buyer beware.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rajputforlife:
Thanks Dude

I really appreciate you taking the time out to answer my questions. I was a bit confused :confused: because I'd read in the second post by the dev that it was the odexed ROM that was running the stock kernel, and I have the deodexed. Also, when I boot my phone, I get the SGK logo to appear, so I'm still a little lost as to whether I'm running SGK overclocked, SGK normal (not overclocked), or flat out stock. I'm only concerned because I would hate for my phone CPU to overheat or something equally bad, but again, thanks for your response! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Sure thing.

Yep, it is possible to damage your phone but with care and a certain amount of vigilance you should be OK. I think the main risk is heat damage to one's battery, maybe not so much the CPU.

People who damaged their phone or battery usually failed to monitor it or perhaps left it plugged in before validating their device was stable.

People who damaged their CPUs may have tried to push too high, too fast. And sometimes it's just bad luck.

All said, you may find the whole process is much effort for not much gain. I have a hard time feeling the speed difference.

I once or twice really heated up my phone, not from overclocking but from "bootlooping" My phone is about fourteen months old. I notice my battery wearing out slowly.

Good to take the back off your phone and check the battery for swelling or leaks now and then.

Install No-frills CPU control and you will see you are running Speedy Gonzales kernel at 1024 MHz.

No-frills can also sleuth statistics about time spent at different frequencies. Stuff for geeks and neck-beards.

When someone says "stock" they might mean standard factory kernel, or they could possibly mean standard operating frequencies. And maybe they're concerned with the speed-changing technique too.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Hey, @camcory, or @smartguy044, I added the latest sources from github, but when I try and compile a new build I'm getting tons of camera errors, which branches should I use for the kernel anrpd frameworks?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rajputforlife:
Thanks, I was able to verify with someone that I'm running SGK at normal speeds.

I'm pretty impressed with this ROM, it's very responsive and lightning fast. Only issues I've had are with the screen flickering a bit while using Chrome. Any suggestions?

Again, this ROM it's amazing, as well as its devs. Keep up the good work! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
No, I'm surprised you're running Chrome at all. I found it to be problematic for many reasons on any Exhibit ROM. I finally settled on the paid version of Boat browser for my phone.

I only use Chrome on my tablet; I have noticed a bit of flickering there, FWIW.

Of course, Chrome won't run at all on Gingerbread-type ROMs or CM7. Currently, I'm back on CM7. Maybe I'll go back to this Linaro ROM at some point. People seem to enjoy it.

I agree, the devs for this phone are great.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rajputforlife:
The last ROM I was running, Biohazard v7 was a very stable ICS ROM and could run Chrome nicely as well.

Unfortunately, I found another weird problem involving the UI. Every time I boot up my phone, the Google Talk icon on my dock disappears. I don't know why it's just that icon, or whether it has to do with the dock, or the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
I'd honestly suggest using Dolphin with Jetpack. Then set User Agent to Desktop. Now go in the Lab and tick cache to SD card and make sure the DNS Prefetch and Pre-connect is ON. Also Page Pre-cache and Page Preloading is set to Always. Give it a whirl. Best browser I have used so far. ;)

I use Opera Mini for when my connection is on E. I set image quality to low in the settings.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
FYI Chrome was updated and the flickering appears to be fixed.

Now is Chrome up to speed with Dolphin? Eh. Not yet.... Yes the Chrome syncing is cool but you can sync with Dolphin too.

Up to you....

However it's an always ongoing war as Chrome will soon be getting better page compression like Opera and Amazon Silk offers: http://thenextweb.com/google/2013/0...for-android-like-opera-turbo-and-amazon-silk/

You can also beta test it now too.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rajputforlife:
Thanks for the update, but I'm currently running with Dolphin, and I have to say, I love it!

Request for Assistance - Recovery to Stock or Help with Odexed build

Okay, I did a ton of research on this, but when I flashed the ROM, I ended up with some major problems. I hope someone can help. Here's the deal:

Started with the stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.6), no overclocking

Backed up apps & data with Titanium Backup

Backed up contents of both internal and external SD card to my PC

Backed up phone to external SD card using CWM 6.0.1.2

Performed ROMwipe

Flashed odexed build, CM10_LINARO_20130118_ODEX_IRX120

Flashed DemonsBlood v8

Flashed Gapps

Rebooted

Now, the new ROM was working, but I started having trouble navigating and certain apps would force close, or I'd get messages that certain things had stopped working. Also, I could not figure out how to set up my home screens and wallpapers and settings and such the way I wanted. So I decided to go back to my stock ROM. But when I flashed my backup, the phone now acts as if it's been factory reset (although I can still boot back into CWM recovery). Also, when I download Titanium Backup, Facebook, and other apps, they force close upon launch.

I have wiped the ROM, fixed permissions, and tried again, with no success. I've copied the files I backed up to my PC back to the phone, but no joy there, either.

Ideally, I'd love to get my phone back to where it was before I attempted this - or, as a second choice, go forward and use the new ROM & Kernel, because I was pretty excited about trying it out. But I feel like I've lost a ton and now it's not working properly at all.

Can someone help me restore this? And tell me where I went wrong? :crying: :(
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rajputforlife:
I'm a novice to this as well, but I think I might know what your problem with the apps is. It sounds like you restored your backups of your apps (from Titanium Backup) from stock to CM during the initial flash. If I'm correct, that's probably why the apps would force close when you were using CM.

What do you mean when you say you "tried again"? Did you retry flashing CM to your phone (and with that restore your stock ROM app data), or did you just try to flash your backup?

I'm not too sure what your next step should be, but I can assure you that there are plenty of helpful people on these forums that can help you out with your issue.

-rajputforlife, member of XDA Developers
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Also when restoring apps only restore apps, not apps + data. Then when you're done manually restore data to the apps you need to. Common error many people make when starting out just like I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Thanks, guys. That helps fill in some blanks. Not sure what I should do now. In the meantime . . .

UPDATE: In CWM Recovery, I selected flash image from external SD card and selected CM10_LINARO_20130118_ODEX_IRX120, then rebooted. Now it gets stuck at the boot screen (Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G, Exclusively from T-Mobile). I tried booting into recovery, but no luck - same result, stuck at the boot screen. So I booted into HBOOT (vol down + power), got a warning about a custom ROM with a choice to reboot or proceed. Since I figured rebooting would just put me back at the boot screen, I chose to proceed. It is now showing the following:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T679

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT KERNEL: SAMSUNG !!

Then there's the android icon and underneath it says:

Downloading...

Do not turn off target!!

Sigh. Help.

"What do you mean when you say you "tried again"? Did you retry flashing CM to your phone (and with that restore your stock ROM app data), or did you just try to flash your backup?"

I retried flashing my stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
How many times have you tried to get into recovery?

If you aren't able to do it you may have to Odin back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
This is a Samsung phone not HTC so that's not hboot it's download. And go here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G read carefully it has the solution to all your problems

Edit: it has a good method of getting into recovery that works every time for me at least
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Thanks guys. I really appreciate the time and knowledge you are sharing with me! :)

Here's where I'm at now:

Okay, I got out of ODIN mode and managed to reboot into CWM recovery. Progress! I wiped the ROM, flashed CM10_LINARO_20130118_ODEX_IRX120, SpeedyGonzalez_OC_1.5.5, and Gapps, and rebooted.

So now I'm running CM10 Linaro, Odexed, with SGK. Okay. **deep breath** The first thing I see after the boot screen is "Welcome, choose your language" and then "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped."

OK.

Signing in with Gmail . . . (screen does not auto-rotate at this point)

Contacting Google, then again "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped."

Completed setup, then again "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped."

Going to Play Store to get Titanium Backup.

Any suggestions for my next steps? Sorry to be such a n00b. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
If I were you I would try installing without an OC kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Ah, so just leave out the SGK or DBK? Just flash CM10 Linaro and Gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] radium22:
I got that "Google Search has stopped" message as well when I first installed this ROM. However, once I go to Play Store to update Google Search, I don't see it any more and Google Search works just fine.

Somehow, my two phones work best and run smoothest with DemonsBlood v6 (BrazilianWax and Deadline; OC to 1.4) - even better than 3.0. When I flashed this ROM, I went like this: CM10_LINARO_20130118_ODEX_IRX120, GAPPS, SwapSD, Reboot to startup without sign-in, configure SwapSD, Reboot to Recovery, DemonsBlood, reboot to startup, configure kernel, go to Play Store (and sign-in), TB and Google Search updates.

For apps like gmail and facebook, I prefer not to restore app data. The content will be restored anyways after sign-in. You will just lose some settings.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Thanks! This is extremely helpful. I am starting to see a glimmer of hope! :)

Into Titanium Backup and I get this warning: "This device's Android ID has changed. This normally happens after a device replacement or factory reset. The Android ID is the most common way for apps to identify the device. Any app that relies on it for security/licensing purposes may stop working (or need to be reconfigured) unless you restore the previous Android ID now." with a choice: Keep the new one, or restore the old one (I only have the free version, so this choice is not available).

Should I get my apps back from Play Store or Titanium Backup or both? (I now know to restore the "app only" from Titanium Backup.)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
First don't worry about the android ID thing, just keep the new one. Secondly I always let TB do the restoring but you can let Play do it, doesn't matter. You can still use TB to restore data when all is said and done.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Coolness!

Now, in Titanium Backup/Restore, there are several entries that are greyed out and strikethroughed. Some of them are apps that just haven't been reinstalled yet, but some of them are under-the-hood type things. Are these duplicated in the new ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
No. BTW don't restore system apps from a previous ROM or TB will just loop endlessly or the app will FC upon trying to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Ahhhhhhhh. That explains a lot. Thanks. This is coming along. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Sigh. Still having troubles.

1) I get "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" when I try to open a text thread in the stock Messenger. Any ideas? I cleared the cache, but no luck.

2) In the stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM, I had all my contacts set up and merged with various email and Facebook accounts, and I could see their Facebook profile pics in Messenger. Is there any way to do this, or import those merged contacts into this ROM?

I really would like to flash back to my stock and somehow recover my phone the way it was before I started this process. What if I wiped the entire phone, completely blank, and then copied the files I backed up to my PC onto it? Would that work?

I can't say enough how much I appreciate all your help on this. I really, REALLY, loved my phone up until Saturday night, when I did all this.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Manuelcg:
Great rom,!! .... I wanted to know what is the difference between cm10 linaro odex and deodex. I tried to flash deodex but errors occured so I have the odex installed and working with no problem.. Thank you for your time great job keep it up
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I think your experience would be so much better if you just forgot all about this ROM and used something else. It won't be updated anymore anyway. Based on what you're saying either go with Rebel ROM for the the most simple and efficient GB experience, go with Camcory's version of CM10 or go with Baked Bean. However if you're so disgusted you want to go back to stock (ugh) then go here and follow instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686384

BTW your idea about using your PC will not work. You ALWAYS should make a nandroid backup because of things like this, but I understand you didn't so this is the best advice I can offer. Be patient as mistakes will be made, especially when you are just getting into all this. We all started at some point and made the same errors you are now.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
to follow up on what art said always always research. google is your best friend. dont just flash something because you think you know what you are doing. if you dont do your research and learn the basics you will end up messing your phone up and you wont be able to use it period.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
I thought by Backing up with CWM, I was making a Nandroid backup - or at least an equivalent. Obviously, my mistake. The thing that bugs me is that I know all the files are still there. I just can't seem to access them.

I did a ton of research on this for the past few weeks, but it just didn't prepare me for what to do after the flash.

Again, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
OK if you did that, then you should be able to select "restore" from backup in CWM, select the dated file and things will be fine. Are you not able to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
I did that on Sunday, and I got the original ROM back, but a) it acted like I'd done a factory reset and b) Titanium Backup kept force closing, so I couldn't restore anything. But maybe I'll try it again. I should wipe the ROM first, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
if you did a back up then restore it will restore your phone to the way it was when you made the backup
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Okay, I'm gonna try it. The backup is on the external SD card. Does it matter if I use the GUI from ROM Manager or should I go straight to CWM, wipe everything, and then restore?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Go into CWM and just restore. You can do a wipe if you want to but don't have to. After that there's nothing else to do, and no need to restore anything from Titanium Backup either. The nandroid has the whole system backed up including all user apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
^^this
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Okay. Here goes . . . . **deep breath**

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Okay . . . at the end of the process, it says .android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of of /sdcard/.android_secure. But then, restore completed. Rebooting . . .

Annnnnnnnd it's behaving like a factory reset. Entering my gmail account info . . . . communicating with Google servers . . . Can't establish a reliable connection with the servers (this all happened over the weekend, too). At that point, I rebooted and tried again and then I was able to connect. Trying again.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
sounds like the backup might be messed up. if that is the case sorry bro but you might have to start all over
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Oh shhhhhhhh*t. Well at least you can use the rooted stock ROM I pointed out earlier and go from there. I really think stock is an awful option to go with as it is so laggy and bloated but dude it's your phone, do what makes you happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Was able to connect after the reboot. So the phone is now back in Gingerbread 2.3.6. But all my apps are gone and some of my setting are off. Hmmmmmm. Going to Play store.

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

When I got to the Titanium Backup page of the Play store, I get this message: "Sorry! The application Google Play services (process com.google.android.gms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" I can Force Close or Report.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
OK do this. Go into settings and remove your Google account. Re-add it. Go into settings, apps, Play and then clear data and cache. Reboot. Open Play, hit "accept" for the user agreement and that should do it. Hopefully!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
ok bud just start from scratch itll save you from all the fc's just bite the bullet and learn from the mistakes
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Would running fix permissions help here?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Doubt it. Try what I suggested, and if that doesn't work Smartguy is right you just need to start over. By the time you keep trying all these things you could have restored everything already by just starting over. Sucks but been there, done that.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
"OK do this. Go into settings and remove your Google account. Re-add it. Go into settings, apps, Play and then clear data and cache. Reboot. Open Play, hit "accept" for the user agreement and that should do it. Hopefully! "

Thanks! You mean, Accounts and Sync > Manage Accounts > select gmail account > Delete Account, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] forserg:
delette
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DarthJosef:
Okay. I'm concerned about that because in order to delete the account, I have to do a factory reset, which will wipe all my personal data (ah, but then, I have it backed up in CWM, right?) So, I'm holding off on that for now, but I will do that if necessary. I've run fix permissions, then rebooted, and Play store and Titanium Backup haven't force closed. So yay! I downloaded Facebook, but it force closed. Running fix permissions again . . .

I also have an older backup I could restore, so there's a chance I could do that as well.

You guys are really amazing to help me through this. I'm usually really good at this kind of stuff - but not this time.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

Umm, I just remembered one thing I did after backing up but before the flash. In CWM, I ran "free unused backup data". This messed me, didn't it?
