Thanks will try this out

Still wondering why the wifi sleep isn't like cm7 on the nook or ics on the touch pad which can be left for a week within 10% battery difference in deep sleep. Wifi on this pics beta from doesn't shut off until almost 4-6 hours after screen goes to sleep. That's a waste!

Can someone also tell me how to sync google talk contacts with the phone contacts that already exist?

for example. I already have a contact added, with phone and email, but the google talk IM field is not being auto synced. I recall this being done on even cm7 in the past automatically. If I manually add it under an IM field, then the contact's gtalk status shows up in my 'People' app.

The Touchpad and Nook Tablet both lack the cellular radio found in our phone. A lot of the standby time drain comes from the radio, especially if you're in a location that lacks a good signal. For me, they built my school like a bunker and no one except Verizon (who has a tower built on our school) gets service. The battery drain from the radio is so excessive I just put it in airplane mode or I wouldn't make it through a full day. If you're experiencing excessive battery drain you may want to check the intervals that email and other apps sync with the server because syncing will cause the phone to "awake" and increase battery usage.

Sorry, but I just have to say: some people expect too fn much from this phone. Its limited in it's capabilities, which should be obvious to the average Joe (which I am). It IS a NO-CONTRACT PHONE, which by definition suggests it's not top of the line, compared to newer contract phones. Insinuating the least amount of belittlement possible: DUH!!!

I've flashed probably 50 ROMs for this phone, including updated builds, etc., and this ROM has no differential battery life issues, or memory.

Stop complaining about the camera (even the subtle, "this ROM rocks, but whaaaa camera whaaaa"... Stop assuming Jocala is Jesus... Stop with the "I can't take this crap anymore," and revert to stock, or sell the phone.

The devs have done so much, and requested so little. A little appreciation is in order. I am so happy to have a phone like this running an OS better than most new phones I've seen. Ty Jocala and the rest of the hard-working devs who are so committed to this and ask nothing but "thanks" in return. Well, thanks!

Hell just the other day i went back to the rom i was using before i went to this. I lasted half a day and came back. This rom is amazing camera no camera i don't see me using another rom. And as jocala said when we get drivers there will be a camera. People just thank god we have such hard working devs or we would be stuck with stock

T679noob has hit the nail right on the head. Without the devs that build ROMs for our phone we would be stuck with stock touchwiz. : ( All in all, beggars can't be choosers.

A plea from another standpoint

I would like to say that I think its more rude for someone to come on here and down other users for reporting possible issues. I personally can tell a difference in the batter draining between certain builds and when users report this en mass, it let's the dev know what's up. Also while the camera thing is annoying from some other users it has helped out with potential resources from the research being done to try and find a solution. Just speaking my peace... if it weren't for people complaining of the speaker crackles or network issues of 4-17, jacola would have never known due to the fact that his phone was working while others wasn't.

tl;dr: complaining about complainers is more obnoxious than the original complainers...so stop complaining.

LoL I was one that reported the crackling issue. Thanks for the holier than thou speech, though. Imagine if you were a dev working hard on this every day and all you read are woes and complaints.

Anyway, I understand your point. Still, pretty sure I didn't throw a fit. Read back through the forums and maybe you'll get my drift. Complaining about complaining of complainers lol

Your entire rant was "holier than thou," ... may want to look up what that means. And yes, you did throw a pretty big fit. That being said, you did have a point amid all of it. I started out as someone who was whining about the rom and now that I've learned how to do everything, I'm doing my best to report problems and help others in any way I can. I guess that's the best you can hope for the "complainers."

Thank you for posting this. The only issue I currently have is the no sound after sleep issue mahendra posted a work-around for. I won't be posting any updates until that is fixed. I'm afraid the work-around would be too confusing for the typical user of this phone.

True very true. I love this rom and i can stand using this withought the camera. If the camera ever gets fixed i will b glad but until then im happy as can be thank you for all you developers who have put in your time and effort. And for those who are complaining about battery life go to ebay and buy a new 1700 megahertz battery i left my phone on all last night and even tho it was on stand by usually my battery would be at 55 percent right now its at 76.

Again, I was not complaining about the battery life. Simply stating that there was a difference for me that I saw when I switched roms. I thought the whole point of feedback was to let the dev know what was going on when a new release was put out. That is what I am doing. And rather than clutter up the thread with Thanks posts, I use the "Thanks" button. Frequently.:)

    This 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
    *#*#2263#*#*
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    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.

    Please DO NOT PM me with support questions! Post them in this thread!

    I'm moving to a Galaxy S2, so my work on CM9 is going to draw to a close. If you have a build environment running and would be interested in continuing development for the community, please PM me. It's been a fun ride and I'd like to thank everyone for their support.

    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:

    These instructions assume an "android" directory located in your home

    Install repo
    Code: 
    mkdir ~/bin
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo 
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
    Download CM9 source
    Code: 
    mkdir ~/android/system
cd ~/android/system
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
repo sync -j16
    This can take hours. When done, ~/android/system should be at least 11Gb in size.

    Next:
    Code: 
    cd ~/android/system/frameworks/base
git remote add arco git://github.com/arco/android_frameworks_base.git
git fetch arco
    Download kernel source
    Code: 
    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 device directory
    Code: 
    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.
    Download ancora_tmo vendor directory
    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.
    Set up prebuilts:
    Code: 
    cd ~/android/system
./vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
    Applying cherry-picks
    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

    Code: 
    . build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_ancora_tmo-userdebug
brunch ancora_tmo
    Building takes at least an hour. If everything worked, you should have a
    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)
    Code: 
    export USE_CCACHE=1
export NDK_CCACHE=ccache
    Set a cache size of 10G for optimal results:

    Code: 
    ccache -M 10G
    Check the status of your cache with the command:
    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 Gbytes

    This is true. My phone always says 3G, but switches to H when downloading, then goes back to 3G.

    Also, even though he's now ignored, Nightlies aren't forced updates. You can flash over the update whenever YOU want. They're just always supplied on a nightly basis in case there have been any changes to the repos. Since it's CM9 there probably won't be many new changes, but its still offered...

    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.
