I like the new animation. Cid reminds me of the little blue Drupal guy.

May as well chime in with my new observations of this build:
In-call Bluetooth audio seemed to improve for me in my car
I can turn on the phone while it's charging (could do it from the last build too, but forgot to mention it)
Performance is better than last
The new boot animation creeps me out for some reason
Wifi calling still messy. I have to turn it off and back on to make it work. Phone calls still don't work, but sms/mms still do, so i don't really care. There's a reason I set up an asterisk account
My comments on the camera are the same as everyone else's.
Oh, with heavy use of the phone (an hour of phone calls, wifi/4g, etc) I got 12 hours out of the battery. I recon 1-1.5 day battery life with minimal use. 2 days if i disable wifi.
Good job guys. I like this so far

Ok so after lurking for quite a while I wanted to chime in and see if I have done something wrong.
Just flashed latest build 061112 and my camera stock and the ICS version from market both have black screens. Pano on stock app is not working either.
Just to be sure i wiped both Dalvik and cache partition before installing the 06112.zip.
What am I missing?
Great work by the way. Hated the stock ROM and have been running this one off and on with stock for need of the camera.

Read the first post for what works. No ETAs.
You can see an image (perhaps) but you cannot save. You should reboot after trying the camera because its sensor may not be properly de-powered.

For people having battery problems, after playing with the camera reboot your phone to stop fast battery drain.

Had a 75% battery drain in 3 hours 38 minutes. GPS & BT turned off and never touched the camera. Brightness was low. Pretty insane.

Yeah my battery was draining pretty fast, maybe not as bad as some of you mentioned. I'm going to flip back to RebelROM for now, got the curiosity out of my system. Just a few too many bugs right now, but I will definitely be watching for future builds. Maybe when there is a final version I will go back. Keep up the good work Jocala, I know Rome wasn't built in a day!
I turned on wifi hotspots via barnacle wifi feather and my battery was dead within a couple hours

I also have not had any of the battery issues on the latest build. If anything, seems to last longer!
So I finally decided to give this a try after following this thread for a long while and seeing the progress on the camera.
My experiences:
1. Extremely fast and smooth, even moreso after applying V6 Supercharger (the 1st 512MB option). I'm not a fan of ICS, but I found it runs superbly on our handset. I wiould definitely run this for my daily driver once some of the remaining issues are solved.
2. It's nice to see progress on the camera. I managed to get a signal from both the front and rear cameras, but never could get it to save a picture even in Panorama mode.
3. Previously coming from the UVLE1 stock rom (with Jocala's updated rooted kernel applied) battery life has been downright dissapointing sofar in comparison. For example just over 7 hours ago I popped in a new 100% charged battery and I'm already down to around 38% with just moderate usage. On the stock GB based ROM I'd still have at least 70% left with the same amount of time and usage. And yes yes yes I remembered to reboot any time I played with the camera.
Still, it's exciting to see the progress going on in this thread and I check it multiple times a day. I have to give a huge shout of thanks to Jocala for chugging away on this port, and all the other people helping him test it and work out the kinks. Keep up the great work!

Getting a TON of restarts/freezes on the latest build. Flashed it yesterday, and several times I've went to wake up the phone and it'll bring up the lock screen and be unresponsive for over a minute, so I have to pull out the battery. Sometimes I'll go to wake it up and it'll bring up the Samsung menu and reboot. Other times it'll lock up and then go back to the CM9 boot animation.
Probably going to revert unless there's a new build on the horizon. Was after wiping cache and dalvik .. I romwiped the last three times and I just can't keep doing that (recovering my account ... re-doing my homescreen ... re doing settings ... just too much!)

One more thing found with the latest rom. (0612)
After my google account sync was complete, and titanium backup restored, everything appeared to work fine.
today at some point I was just touching my phone while locked, and it automagically unlocked.
I use a pattern .. and somehow, no matter what the pattern was, it would unlock. but it would only unlock when any of the two of the points were connected.
so I figured resetting it may fix this issue.. and I went into security to reset it.
once i recreated the pattern and locked my screen again by the display power button, and turned it on, it showed me the 'slider' unlock... after sliding it to unlock, then it showed me the pattern screen.
no matter what i do, i cannot get rid of the slider anymore. i just want the pattern without the slider, like it was.
not sure what's going on here :\

137This is a port of CyanogenMod 9 (Android 4.0.x) for the Samsung Exhibit II 4G. It is very much a work-in-progress. There are no guarantees whatsoever that it will work to your requirements or that it will progress beyond its current state. Major kudos to Arco68 for his help in getting this going; you would not have this ROM except for him.
Here is a video by dennis96411, showing CM9 on the Exhibit II
What seems to work
Phone
Wifi
SMS/MMS
GPS
Bluetooth audio
Amazon Market
HW accelerated display
Headphone detection
Microphone detection
T-Mobile Wifi-calling (works for most)
init.d support
CIFS networking
Camera (Stock Camera only, 3rd-Party apps mostly don't work)
Haptic keyboard feedback
Market/Play
Gmail
Browser
Screenshots
Streaming video
What does not work (NO ETAs)
911 Emergency Calls
Torch app (check thread for alternatives)
CM9 for the Galaxy Exhibit is NOT vulnerable to USSD dialer exploits.
Vanishing text
The content of text buffers sometimes disappear when touched (messages in: gmail,yahoo,fb). Wiping cache has fixed this for some. Long-press of back key and restarting app for others.
Facebook
Facebook sync is not included in AOSP. 3rd-party apps are available in the market.
3g vs 4g
Cyanogen Mod views UMTS as 3g whereas the stock Exhibit II rom views it as 4g. Even though you see 3g on your status bar, your actual speed should be unchanged from stock.
Changing band preference
In dialer, enter Service Mode via
You should see:
[1] Automatic
[2] WCDMA Band Preference
[3] GSM Band Preference
To force WCDMA only, tap option 2, on next screen tap option 6 - WCDMA All
To force GSM only, tap option 3, on next screen tap option 7 - GSM All
You can use the back button to verify your settings took effect. To exit, tap menu button, quit. This change does not survive a reboot. If you use this frequently, save it as a contact.
WIFI Problems
Wifi is working fine for almost everyone using CyanogenMod 9 Galaxy Exhibit build (and also for the Galaxy W). If you are one of the very few having difficulties, a possible fix has been posted that may help: WiFix Manager.
Installation
Installation requires a CWM-based recovery. Download/update Galaxy Exhibit Custom CWM Recovery here.
Updating CyanogenMod 9
Once you have a stable install you're happy with you can apply future updates w/o any wiping. If for some reason a wipe is required, I'll make that known.
Download CM9 Beta
Core2idiot's CM9 Nightlies
Google Apps
Google Apps gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip .... Mirror
Kernel sources
Copy the downloaded cm9 beta and gapps zip files to your internal or removable sdcard.
Back up your data.
Start Custom Recovery (cwm): Press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. Recovery should start after the color Samsung/T-Mobile Exhibit logo.
CWM Keys:
Home key = enter
Back key = back
VolUp/Dwn = highlight choice
If installing over a non-CM9 ROM you must do a ROMwipe before installing.
Select "Install zip from sdcard." Choose the cm9 beta zip from sdcard or external sdcard, depending on where you placed it. Highlight the cm9 beta zip file then press Home. Confirm the choice and installation will proceed. You may also install Google Apps (gapps) at this time. Gapps does not include all Google apps. Those not included are available from the market.

CM9 Beta:cm-9-20120810-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo.zip22Compile CM9
Portions copied from Motorola Droid X CyanogenMod Wiki
Thanks to Arco68 for hand-holding and patches. Any mistakes are mine.
These instructions assume that you will be using an Ubuntu 10.10 Linux system (or a close relation, Debian, Linux Mint,etc). Setting up a Linux partition or creating a Linux VM are beyond the scope of this post.
First, Install the Android SDK
Next, install the linux build packages required. I install using apt-get:
For 32-bit & 64-bit systems
apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
For 64-bit only systems
apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
These instructions assume an "android" directory located in your home
Install repo
Download CM9 sourceCode:mkdir ~/bin curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
This can take hours. When done, ~/android/system should be at least 11Gb in size.Code:mkdir ~/android/system cd ~/android/system repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics repo sync -j16
Next:
Download kernel sourceCode:cd ~/android/system/frameworks/base git remote add arco git://github.com/arco/android_frameworks_base.git git fetch arco
Download ancora_tmo device directoryCode:mkdir -p ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/ancora_tmo cd ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/ancora_tmo git init git pull https://github.com/arco/samsung-kernel-msm7x30.git Repeat the pull command occasionally to obtain updates.
Download ancora_tmo vendor directoryCode:mkdir -p ~/android/system/device/samsung/ancora_tmo cd ~/android/system/device/samsung/ancora_tmo git init git pull git://github.com/Jocala/device.ancora_tmo.ics.git Repeat the pull command occasionally to obtain updates.
Set up prebuilts:Code:mkdir -p ~/android/system/vendor/samsung/ancora_tmo cd ~/android/system/vendor/samsung/ancora_tmo git init git pull git://github.com/Jocala/vendor.ancora_tmo.ics.git Repeat the pull command occasionally to obtain updates.
Applying cherry-picksCode:cd ~/android/system ./vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
You'll need to gain at least a rudimentary knowledge of
using git and github. Teaching this is beyond the scope
of this howto. Cherry-picks must be re-applied after each
repo sync.As time goes by they also get merged, so it may be that some
cherry-picks are no longer required. You can check their status here.
Attached to this post is a script (reposync.txt) that will do a repo
sync then apply current cherry-picks. I keep it in my
android/system directory. Rename and chmod 0755.
Set up your environment & build
Building takes at least an hour. If everything worked, you should have aCode:. build/envsetup.sh lunch cm_ancora_tmo-userdebug brunch ancora_tmo
out/target/product/ancora_tmo/cm-9-SOMEDATE-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo.zip file
============
CCACHE
If you have room on your build system you can speed
your builds up considerably by using ccache. ccache is a compiler
cache. It speeds up re-compilation of C/C++ code by caching
previous compiles and detecting when the same compile is
being done again.
Install it with apt-get: sudo apt-get ccache
Set environment vars for Android use:
(I put these exports in my .bashrc)
Set a cache size of 10G for optimal results:Code:export USE_CCACHE=1 export NDK_CCACHE=ccache
Check the status of your cache with the command:Code:ccache -M 10G
Code:ccache -s Returns: cache directory /home/jocala/.ccache cache hit 106673 cache miss 18379 called for link 3758 preprocessor error 5 not a C/C++ file 4425 unsupported compiler option 678 no input file 4565 files in cache 36758 cache size 3.2 Gbytes max cache size 10.0 Gbytes22
It's always hilarious when a newcomer shows up who absolutely knows it all, refuting everything we only think we know about our phones.
I think the idea of nightlies is great, I never had the resources. I've replaced the OPs download link with a link to Core2Idiot's nightly page.
On another note, I've decided to keep my Exhibit as a dev device, so I'm going to continue busting my head with 911 for a while at least. I'll post if I have any breakthroughs.
