Please let us know if reverting to a different rom fixes your problems.
Its the trebuchet launcher..... I got ADW Launcher EX and I haven't gotten a single lag issue since...... It looks great.. And hell even the overall system performance increased 10 fold over a supercharged a GB based rom..... Everything is... Hella smooth..
Supercharge and a 2$ launcher my friend.. Do it... You'll never look back to GB..
Edit; Also... Go to the the settings.. In the performance tab.. Processor sub menu... Make sure the minimum frequency is set to at least 245mhz..

I reverted to 041412 and I have no audio problems. No popping, no crackling. The phone rings as it should when the screen is off. The Gmail bug is still there every now and then, but it's only happened once (and has been a constant since the beginning). Lagging when I get a phone call is also not as noticeable. But yes, there is NO popping or crackling at all. Did not romwipe, just wiped cache and dalvik.
I have a question about the SD card switch. I just bought a 16gb sd card. If I wanted to use that what happens with the current "external" storage?
I was using my phone to type an app review when my alarm sounded to remind me to watch a show. Either my running app obscured the "dismiss" dialog or else it never appeared. But it sounded.
No prob, I simply opened my notification drawer and clicked the message to call up the alarm. When I did this, I got a "security unlock" dialog. I had to enter my lock pattern before I could dismiss the alarm. This doesn't seem proper.
I've noticed the lock screen intrude in this way many times. All in similar contexts.
I'm running the Apr 14 build; I never upgraded.

use nova launcher, of the launchers I've used, Go Launcher, ADW, LauncherPro, nova has been the best, even for customizing folders.
Edit- tried it but saw redraws. They were slight but there are none with launcher pro

Question... Where the problems you had with ADW... Where they with the EX version or the free? Cuz as far as I understand the free version isn't completely GPU accelerated while the EX version is.
Also.. GoLauncher works really well... Only prob.. It uses about 20mb of ram more than the rest of those.. x3
Edit;
@Jocala
I believe I have the latest build and I have not gotten any sound issues.... Sooometimes the phone doesn't ring.... But asides that really occasional issue... Nothing else.. owo

Also I am having trouble reverting back to RebelROM. I believe it is the difference in the kernel. I tried ROMwipe, and then formatting everything, and it was still a no go.
Also, when doing the SD card switch, does the current "external" storage merge with the internal storage? I don't see as to why waste 2GB of space if you got it.

The internal SD storage does not merge with your external storage when you swap them. It only swaps their location so the phone uses your SD card instead of the 1.6 GB of internal storage. You can still store stuff in the internal card, the phone simply believes it to be the 'external' card now.
I'm going to throw Apex into this whole launcher debate and I'm surprised nobody brought it up yet. It's ICS only, but it's super fast and does a lot of awesome stuff.
It becomes the primary card for USB connection, too - so if you want to put things on your actual SD card from the computer, you won't be able to do it through the phone. That being said, I've found the internal storage (the one that the phone believes is the SD Card) to be a great place to store Titanium Backups and to transfer the newest rom to (I also keep the swapsd.zip on it, since you have to reflash that every time you update).
So how do I put stuff on the SD card? I got it mainly for putting music on. If I download something, will it automatically go on the SD card? I still don't quite get it. It is also recognized as internal storage?
In the default configuration /mnt/sdcard is the internal storage and cannot be removed. /mnt/emmc (CM9/ICS/CWM) or /mnt/sdcard/external_sd (Stock/GB) is the removable SD card. When you flash swapsd it mounts the removable SD card on /mnt/sdcard and the internal on /mnt/sdcard/external_sd or /mnt/emmc. This allows you to run apps from your removable SD card.
Downloads from the browser will go to /mnt/sdcard/Downloads and from Google Play Music will go into /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache. If you want these or any other default location on /mnt/sdcard to be stored on your removable SD card, you would use the swapsd.
Flash back to stock and then to rebel rom.... I haven't done it... But it seems to fix a bunch of issues.
Here's something that may help with those with huge battery drain using Wi-Fi.
The easy way is to use an app called WiFi TXpower, and set the dBm to something lower than the top.
This would be the alternative not-so-simple way.
I have mine set to 18dBm, the speed of Wi-Fi is unchanged, but the battery life is a little better.

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.

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.
