Does this rom ... disable HSPA+ or whatever by default? I downloaded Barnacle to tether my computer while my internet is down and after pairing my laptop, I switched from 3G to H, and a speedtest (on my phone) confirmed that it was much better than what is usual at 3G - I almost never see H. Does it only enable when it thinks I need it or something, and is there a way I can make it to where it's always going to that by default?
There are some posts earlier in the thread that describe this but the short of it is that most ROMs only use the higher speed radio when necessary but the user is unaware of it because it generally will show the same icon. On the stock ROM you can go into about phone and you will be able to see that you are normally on UMTS which is what this ROM defines as 3g.
For future reference, please search the thread before asking a question because this is dealt with elsewhere (e.g. the OP). I don't want you to not ask questions but please double check first.
Edit: You would have to edit the firmware of the radio or some files deep in the OS to change the behavior of the radio.

First of all, nice work so far on CM9, the progress has been great! 
Major issue: On this build, there have been occasional screen flickering issues in the lock screen, which can be annoying and irritating to the eyes.
Minor issue: While I can enable my Apple bluetooth keyboard on GB roms, I can not on CM9. I can pair the HID keyboard with CM9, but for some reason typing does not register on the screen.
Thank you developers for all you are doing!

Did you get Barnacle to work? I have been trying to get it to work for weeks to no avail.
It's working for me on the most recent build although I've only tethered to my iPod so far.

I did search, but searching only covered the first part of my question and nothing about Barnacle. That was the circumstances in which I noticed a difference - so I asked about it.
My bad then. Sorry if it seemed as if I was angry with you. Did my response adequately cover your question?

to use barnacle with a windows based system,you need to change the mtu settings from 1500 to 1476.i personally tether daily,using the portable hot spot.in fact the main reason i have this particular phone is to use as a high speed internet device in conjuction with tmobile's 30$,5gb plan.it's the cheapest 4g phone there is.
you may also need to set barnacle to adhoc.

Lol, when I ordered my Exhibit II from walmart.com the shipped me an Exhibit II with a bad IMEI and a sim card on "cold status". Had to go into a walmart store and have an argument to get it exchanged.
Anyway, love the ROM. If you can find a way to get the camera working this'll be my everyday ROM.
USB Internet Tethering
I have two Exhibit II phones. One is stock, and the other is CM9. The stock phone works fine with USB Internet Tethering. My Windows 7 x64 system picks up a new device called "Samsung Android USB Remote NDIS Network Device", and everything works. I have the T679 drivers loaded. When trying to tether my CM9 phone, it does not load a Windows device, and does not appear to find a matching driver. Mobile Hotspot seems to work just fine on CM9, as does USB storage sharing. Is anyone else seeing 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.

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.
