rom flash ... do you have to do both?

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

what is recommended?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
just the rom, unless you decide to stay on 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
My current preference is 4.2 8/10 rom with latest kernel with the whitescreen bug fix in it. In order I wipe everything but external sd, then flash rom, then gapps then kernel and last reboot. Now the actual rom im using know is a modified version of camcory's 4.2 that im currently working on.

Are you still using the ram manager and swap file? If so, how is it holding up?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I'm getting a lot of inquiries about Ram Manager Pro since my post, so a few things to mention. Yes, still using it and it's done wonders for this phone. I no longer have problems using multiple apps at the same time either. Even with AOIP 1.5 I had issues anytime I tried to use Poweramp and browse the internet, use Google Now or even Gmail at the same time. Since I started using this app none of that occurs. I don't know if this would have helped with AOIP 2.0 but I have things just where I want them, so I won't be finding out.

If you want to get the most out of this app, first select "More memory" for the RAM setting. Then select the swap file option. Choose the amount you want, which I am using the maximum of 256mb. Then choose the SD card you want the swap file on (only change the number to "1" if you want to use the external card). Keep in mind once the process is done, you may only change or delete the file in recovery as you can't do anything with it while the phone is in use. In the app there is an option to disable it (but why you would IDK), which will "remove" the file but say you want to change the amount from 128 to 256. When you reinstall the file it will still be 128. No file apps can delete it either. However after being deleted in TWRP, you can start over with another swap file in case you want to use the other SD card or increase/decrease the amount of additional memory. Confusing I know so just easier all the way around to do it right the first time and for our phone the max size is needed if you are going to use android 4.2 or 4.3.

One last thing, because somebody may bring this up. If you go to check the amount of memory you have after installing the swap file, it will still be 359mb as the file doesn't show up as physical memory. However you will see a difference in the amount of free RAM and performance. Best of all, you don't have to format your card!

Just wondering before i bought it
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
I haven't looked into it yet, but curious as to which is better ram expander or ram manager free/pro?

EDIT:

well I've answered my own question already. I'll stick with ram expander as it allows more ram based setting and much bigger swap file. Ram expander does one thing and one thing only create a swap that can be mounted auto boot and/or widget for easy on/off. the size of swap can be between 1MB, 2MB, 3MB...4096MB (4GB) also you can adjust the swappiness from 1-100 and minfreekb from 1MB-29MB. also the hyper mode makes even smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
are you going to be developing for this phone now?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Hadn't heard of Ram Expander before but may try it later if I encounter any issues with Ram Manager.

Edit: Just looked it up. $10 for that app? Well with the 4.1 rating it has and price tag I don't think so.

[MENTION=4574261]ArtfulDodger[/MENTION]

Thanks for the recommendation, ram manager works good, some stuff I don't see a difference in but the majority of what I do on my phone i see a night and day difference, well worth $3.18
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Great, glad it's working for you. I wish I had found out the app had the swap file feature sooner. Several months ago when I first tried it, it didn't and I used the app for a day. Out of desperation I checked Play again and saw this feature had been added. Sure beats those placebo scripts!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
hey cam and smartguy, what do you think of the script? do you see any potential drawbacks to using it?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Basically what you mainly get is great memory management. Instead of hovering around 40 to 50mb all the time, you average more like 80 to 120 with the "Balanced" script offered. The difference is memory apps like Auto Killer always bog down the phone and make things worse, this script works without doing that or crashing your apps all the time. Other features: Read ahead is increased to 2048, zipalign is run on each boot, SQlite is optimized on each boot, touchscreen sensitivity is increased, partitions are mounted with "noatime" (just like in Auto Killer) and normalized sleepers are disabled.

I encourage everybody to keep up with stuff in that thread and check for updates periodically: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2273317

BTW I should mention the memory settings do stick, whereas I noticed in V6 things seem to become "unstuck" after a while for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
Havent really looked into it. BTW I put in the privacy thing in mms.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
I don't really give to much to those scripts. The battery life is gonna be worse with this phone because the battery is only 1500 mah where the s3 s4 note 2 is like 2500+. The battery is just small and no matter how many tweaks you throw at it
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
i can definitely notice the difference. I dont' know what happened with my phone but ever since installing this ROM, it would occasionally freeze up and go back to normal. ever since installing the script, it's been working fine thus far.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
This script offers nothing toward battery life and I hope nobody gets that impression. I do agree there's nothing to be done, if you use the latest 4.2 battery life sucks on this phone. It's an established fact and can't be helped. I do think there is some quirk causing the battery highs & lows with this particular ROM only for the fact you are 2% idle one day and the next 6% and then back to 2% after a reboot. I have looked at what runs and like I said earlier, no real answer has been found. That's OK, I'm not complaining. I do like the ROM or I wouldn't use it.

Downloading...

Can't believe I still have this phone.

Thanks Devs!!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Dvarl:
[MENTION=4574261]ArtfulDodger[/MENTION] I just want to say thanks, you have spent a lot of time figuring out what scripts work and which don't. Much appreciated. :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Jaws4God:
Awesome!! What do i have to do? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
No problem, appreciate it. Wish I had given more accurate data on NOS but at least I let everybody know what I knew at all times. Live & learn. I can't hit "thanks" in return because I'm out of them for the day!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
It was fixed in source will be in next release
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Jaws4God:
Thank you so much!!!! Wow. U all work so hard.. Its so awesome to have these great roms on such an old phone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jetstream131:
Ok so following up my previous post about the battery life; I completely redownloaded the rom and i reflashed it. So i am getting about 30hrs of battery life Stand-By. Thats about 10 hours more than my previous rom. HOWEVER, while im actually using the phone and any app, it guzzles down battery like nobody's business. Battery stats blame 55% of this loss on the screen, 12% on system, 8% on cell, 6% on OS, and 6% on Idle. The rest is other apps. So what should I / could i do to fix this problem?

Please take your sarcasm somewhere else, i don't have the time for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
You asked how to get better battery life, and I told you plain and simple.

As I have read, you will never have good battery life on a 4.2 rom with our phone

Sent from my AOIP Exhibit 4G
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DJ_SpaRky:
Underclock your phone, set the brightness to a lower level, uninstall/freeze/disable app processes that continually run, turn off data/wifi/bt/sync/etc, or just turn the phone off when you're not using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jetstream131:
That my friend is complete bull****. It all depends on user configuration. My last rom was 4.2.2 rootbox, build 4/2. I was running it overclocked at 1631 mhz and i still got an average of 21hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
If the battery life isn't good for you get another ROM. I get about 12 hours when I actually use the phone. The battery in this phone is 1500 mah that is horribly small. There is a reason the new phones that come with jellybean have a battery twice as big. Please quit complaining about battery life as all the 4.2 roms I have used are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
This ROM is being worked on by the best developers for this phone and there facing the same issue thats why they asked not to complain about this issue in the op. If the extended battery i suggested aint helping you and you don't want to use stock maybe its time for an new phone. Like smart guy stated the issuse is 4.2 in general for this phone newer devices can handle 4.2 because they have a bigger battery. The way to look at the issue is your getting something for nothing deal with it or buy a newer phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
True, i gave up on scripts a while ago.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

Also, I don't know how but I have the swap file on internal and external sd, external is a 32gig sd which everything is installed on, so there is nothing on internal except swap file and a few others, therefore not hurting for the space on internal.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
Most likely yes. I'm more familiar with windows based which includes reactos (windows alternative). Right now I'm in the midst of finding what is relate-able to windows based as its easier learning curve. Obviously linux is different the windows but they do share some things in common. Then got see whats left to learn. Yes I am a fast learner when it comes to electronics in general. Any thing else I'm pretty much as useless as they come. But don't expect a release for a while. I may release a modified version of AOIP with ion support instead of pmem. As far as I know the only real main issue is the camera won't work with current libs as they are hardcoded to pmem. If that's the case wont be hard to make new ones from scratch but may take some time to code it.. Anyone who wishes to help is free do so. I recently just got this phone and already mentioned to camcory that i am sure i can get our phone between 3k-4k on quadrant.

Actually I didn't have to pay for it. But honestly to me it worth the price. the 4.1 rating isn't that bad if you actually done the research. People was having issues with earlier releases. The newer versions fixed them. Also I'm a heavy multiasker and gamer and 4GB swap helps me way more than 256MB. Plus having more control over the swap settings makes it even better.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Just go into TWRP, advanced, file manager and delete it from the SD card you want it gone from.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
BTW ArtfulDodger.I Love Viper Audio and ty so much for mentioning it to other people in previous posts. FYI mine is integrated in to the rom. Originally did the same method as you. But after integrating it to the rom instead, it now is even easier on system resources. So pretty much they way public release is going to be. When you go to install the rom you will be asked which audio you want integrated either it be just stock, viper, acid or what ever else is similar. Thanks to Aroma Installer this makes it possible to do. Not to mention I can later on after I get Firefox OS ported to our phones the option for for either dual boot, tri boot, or single boot during the install xD. Also I would love to make our own version Ram Expander and ram manager type thing integrated as well so you have the best of both worlds and FREE :D the profiles and clear mem and features like that is very useful and having the larger swap cap and customized settings for the swap. But im getting ahead of my self. Gotta work on one thing at a time.:angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
I love what cam and everyone else have done for this phone, I really hope you being us these things!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Just found this out, but make sure NOT to use your external card. Otherwise you will not be able to transfer files from your PC to your phone and vice versa. Use internal. If that's the only card you have, you will no longer be able to transfer files from your PC to your phone.

It would sure be nice if the devs would tell people this!

Talking about app dev btw, not Cam just to clarify!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
BTW if you need testers there are a few here including myself that will be willing to test for you. Just pm me. And I'm sure others will step up after I post this.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
Thanks but I wont need internal beta testers as I do massive testing my self. However I got a GOAL and a game plan set up. First release will just Be AOIP but modified aka AOIP CE based on 1.5 sources. After that The following releases will be my own with a new Rom name but that wont be for a good while. However AOIP CE will give you a good Idea where our devices are heading.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
So 4.2 not 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
I miss cam, seems all the excitement for this phone has just disappeared
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:
Ikr? I miss all the old dev's too, but they flew away on brooms like witches. I miss jocala and cam. I remember the first time I was using this phone and me and cam ported that CM7 based AOSP. Yeah those were the days, too bad they all left and now you guys are left here with limited support. :L
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
You ported a rom? Which one was that?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
I remember that. You guys did a good job on that rom

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
yes for modified AOIP its based 4.2.2. I may allow 4.3 in aroma as some things will work in either versions. However my own rom will be based on 4.3 or 4.4 depending on how progress is going on me learning.

Yes it does seem that way. Hopefully the excitement will come back when I actually get something released in the future;) Also yes cam will be missed but he isn't gone he just has to do whats best for him which means pulling away from developing to spend time with his family. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Proud2banoob:
I have a quick question. Are you part of Team Insomnia? Will the roms you release be from Team Insomnia? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
No and No.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lkspooky:
AOIP was a little slow for me so I am using this combo

Supernexus 4.2 ROM + Cam Whitescreen Fix Kernel= Butter and battery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
does that kernal work with all 4.2 roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lkspooky:
It should

It should work for everything. I tried with PA and SuperNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] deathbenotproud:
installing the 3.4.63 OC undervolt high memory with whitescreen fix simply causes my phone to go into a boot loop during the AOIP loading screen, and I couldn't find anything via search, unless i'm just retarded. never installed it, as I never really got the white screen problem, but, figured i'd try it. I can get it back to normal, but, boot loop. earlier I was getting the "android upgrading..." x/xxx apps updating etc, but it boot looped. had to reboot -- after the reboot, it changed and said "android upgrading..." 1/6 - > 6/6, but it never loaded anything past that. reboot again -- boot loop.

wiped everything, reinstalled, flashed the os, then gapps, then white screen patch before booting up -> boot loop, no android upgrading screen after 10 minutes of the AOIP loading screen.

is it supposed to take an eternity? or is something just wrong? removing it for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Alluro:
As an owner of the Nexus 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G, I am quite impressed by how well Supernexus (4.2) runs on the device. I didn't even install the cam whitescreen fix (camera seems to be working fine?) and this ROM is great. I'm amazed and how smooth this 2 year old budget phone works.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
Has nothing to do with the camera, cam = camcory = developer

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

Totally the wrong forum but +1 on the comment, works awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Alluro:
Are there any development teams working on porting 4.3 or 4.4 to the Galaxy Exhibit 4G? It looks like a lot of the development stopped mid year. In theory, if 4.2 runs buttery smooth on the device, wouldn't 4.3 and 4.4 be able to as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
As of now there is no development of any ROM for our phone
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] helios1877:
Quick settings dissappeared??

Hey everybody, just need some advice on a problem I recently encountered on this ROM. Long story short, I soft bricked my phone trying to modify my build.prop to swap the sd cards. Not a big deal. A little annoying, but I was able to just reflash. Everything seems to be working, except there is no quick settings panel! I was like "whaaaaaat???" haha. I can't figure out how to get it back. It may not be a ROM related problem, I'm not sure, but it happened while flashing so it seemed like I should ask here. Any help would be appreciated *EDIT* I should have noted that I'm using the 8/10/13 build

*EDIT* NEVER MIND! lol. It came back when I flashed GAPPS, I don't know why. I tried to delete the post but couldn't find the "delete" option in the edit/delete menu. If a moderator is passing through, feel free.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
You are wrong. On previous page there is an explanation of what is coming...... And aoip 2.0 is android 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
He also said he is learning, and don't expect anything anytime soon, so basically at this point there's nothing going on for this phone
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
Just because there won't be a release doesn't mean he is not deving, look how long it took to bring aoip
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
True:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
Yes I am in the process of deving as well as learning. There is many tweaks that have yet to be done. Hence why first release will just be a modified version of aoip. The reason why I said don't expect anything for awhile is because I can't give a rough est if I don't know everything I need to know to kick it in high gear. But this also doesn't mean that I wont release something soon. It depends on progress and stability. Theres advantages and disadvantages to being self taught. Which I may or may not get into later. Also Cam if you don't mind, when i get ready for first release of modded aoip will you post it in your first post to keep AOIP all together? No need to reply right away, as I'm not ready yet but if you are fine with it then I'll pm you in advance. Also whenever I get around to making my own you are more than free to pitch some code in W/E not picky one bit Fam is first. For me its just easier than you as I am not working except on the side peoples electronics. So i got time when the wife is gone and when shes watching her shows.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
Just let me know when.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
Will do and our time zones is only 1hr off from each other. You are 1hr ahead of me so it should work out easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KahosTch:
Actually, i will try to dev. But this will be my first work developing custom ROMS, so... this will be take some time. Either im student, so i have less time jaja.

Sorry for my bad english.

PS:

Can you say what you improve in the latest build of camcory? What functions you want? I will try to add
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
I saw some talk earlier about any new roms. So I figured since this is what Im using (Vanir) on my N4 why not give it to the old exhibit for folks to try. It will require the latest CWM to install since I adopted arco's latest kernel commits for selinux. TWRP will install it but on reboots it hangs unless data is cleared and who wants that. Ive tried to compile the latest TWRP but so far 2 unsuccessful builds that required me to ODIN back. This is just to tide the flashaholics over until Trip has his release.

Edit: If you have any issues please no need to post here PM me Ill see if I can help.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
thanks cam.ive been getting the flash itch, been going through older roms again, lol
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I found out the hard way about the latest TWRP when I tried it myself. Luckily I still have ODIN and CWM 6.0.3.1 to fix the problem thanks to [MENTION=4561333]meekrawb[/MENTION]. My fault for using an unreleased program without asking if there are any issues.

Tough stuff thumbs up if you get it going. Have you talked with cars he had some work on the the sensors he might be able to help. :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
No i haven't. Trying all on my own first and so far nothing I can't handle. If i get stuck somewhere I may. I was able to get it up long enough to take a glance at the [JB_VANILLA.04.02.02.060.053] driver in action before forced reboot and inf loop. Once I am able to get it up long enough to run a benchmark and side by side real world difference. As far as the camera goes I might be able to do some asm edits to get it to work without writing the libs from scratch but if not then I can do it from scratch. Aroma I got the basics where you choose rom and between stock and latest w/whitescreen fix. still have more things to do with aroma such as apps, theme it, and add and setup ota update.
