#1 rule no e.t.a.'s when it comes to cm9 *you've been warned*

Once the cm9 repo adds the rc1 code and jocala syncs it into cm9
Sent from my Galaxy Exhibit running CM9 by Jocala
May finally have to switch back to Gingerbread for the first time since starting this rom way early into its life cycle. I just can't take the constant reboots and freezes. It just gives up on all kinds of things - at the lock screen, at the browser, in a game, going into settings .. it'll just freeze up, the screen won't turn off, and then I'll get a boot loop. It's been happening at least one-three times per day over the last like six builds, whether I do romwipes or not.

How hard would it be to port AOSP to the phone? I'm just thinking ahead, with Jeally Bean coming out in the next few months...
Great question I was hoping for cm7 or paranoid android

if they add it to cm9 as like cm9.1 or cm10 then I'm sure jocala or someone can port it. I know how to make roms but not real good at fixing bugs and stuff as i m not an expert coder.

did i hear someone mention something about a bad penny.......?
Yeah I think Google is going to make it 4.2 or something incremental because Google, Samsung (lg moto etc), and carriers need more time to do updates and push them out for current phones. They would all fuss at Google for doing such a big update when only something like 7% of all android phones are running ics 4.0. Love to see it though on our phone But I would be fine with cm9, its fast, just sometimes a have shorter battery life.

The KEMIUI for this devices links to a post on how to convert a cm9 to a miui, so I wonder if something similar could be done just for a AOSP to your device.
EDIT: That guide sucks. This is a much better, general guide. But that is just if you have a ROM to start with.

I tried with the latest cm9 beta trying to port from miui on the galaxy w, but it wouldn't boot.

Sorry to hear about instability you experienced with CM9. I did not have anything nearly so bad as that, but I did have a few issues.
Currently I'm on Galaxy ExHibition ROM which is based on the newest Gingerbread. Give it a try if you're curious. Gonna stick with it a while, although I do miss ICS goodies in CM9. Need to run around my house and take pics of all the stuff I couldn't before.
I did not care for RR because of visual glitches. I think there has been progress since I used it.

I really don't see cm9 as being fast. (sometimes it takes my phone 5 to 10 seconds to load an app) But the usfulness of cmpy outweighs its speed. Plus I like to keep my text messages and when having to restore them after a rom wipe on gingerbread the phone spazes out and becomes unusable for hours.
Try SMS Backup & Restore from Google Play. It's free and you can set it to auto backup to an external XML file that you restore from after you flash a new ROM.

Service Mode Menu
Thanks to all who are working on this ROM. One item that I can't live without on my Exhibit II is the Service Mode functionality. Sometimes my phone locks in on Edge signal and won't kick back to 4G (or 3G depending on your interpretation). The *#*#4636#*#* option won't really let you force the phone to WCDMA even though it's there as an option. It just won't stick from there. The stock GB ROM was the same way.
On the stock ROM, I found that you can get into Service Mode with *#*#197328640#*#* and select Debug Screen, Phone Control, Network Control, Band Selection, WCDMA Band Preference, WCDMA ALL to force the phone to 4G. You have to go back to Automatic before you can use Edge again though. But I use this option frequently.
This CM9 ROM does not include the apk necessary for this to work, but I found a solution. I tried correcting this with a few different versions of the service mode apk and the first two didn't work. But then I found that the SamsungServiceMode.apk from the CM9 port for the Galaxy SL does work. It doesn't seem to have the Audio menus that I have seen some people looking for, but it does seem to have everything I had with the stock ROM. I downloaded the Galaxy SL CM9 port from this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449649, unzipped it, copied the SamsungServiceMode.apk file to my /system/app directory on my phone, changed the permissions to 0644 and the *#*#197328640#*#* option immediately started working. No need to install or reboot anything.
When I went to the new 06-26 release of CM9, I had to copy the file into the /system/app directory again, as the update removed it.
Maybe the Devs can work this apk into the next release. I have no experience with compiling a ROM, so I will stay out of that.
Hope this helps those who are having the same issue as me with getting stuck on the Edge.

hi guyes i just installed the latest update for cm9 and my camera has seemed to stop working completely. im not sure if this is a setting issue or just the update. before, i could atleast get in to the app a couple of times before it said "unfortunately, camera has stopped". now it just says that right away and doesnt even get to the camera itself.
this may sound like a noob question and im sure it does but do you guys know of a solution to this?
thanks

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.
