I installed the updated CM 10.1 yesterday. I'm still bringing it up to speed as I did a complete wipe/phone reset. This ROM looks very promising.

I was unable to install this ROM using TWRP. CWM worked OK.

I keep zips of both CWM and TWRP in a handy place so I can change recovery or installation methods as needed. I really prefer TWRP, but if CWM is what's required, so be it. I reinstalled TWRP after flashing and made a nandroid of CM 10.1. The nandroid of CM 10.1 works fine.

I have TWRP nandroids of both CM 10.1 and CM 11 on my sdcard. Each one seems to restore fine.

I'm holding high hopes for CM 11, but this CM 10.1 may well be the pinnacle of achievement for this phone.

Either way, I can't lose. ☺

BTW, I bought a two-battery-plus-charger kit on Amazon last week. The new battery (either one) lasts about 150% as long as my tired original battery (Jan '12). Because of shipping costs, I bought more than I needed, maybe just a single battery w/o charger would've been more cost-effective. Was $21 w/shipping.

Edit: I'm unclear if this ROM was updated recently, but in any case I installed the ROM linked to in the OP of this thread.

Did you do the 10.1 build yourself? I've tried a lot of the ROMs available for the Exhibit and this is the best one by far. No nonsense with everything working great so far. I only use the Exhibit as a wi-fi music player and this ROM will definitely extend it's usefulness. Thank-you for doing this.

Thanks! How is 10.2? I've stayed away from 10.2 on older devices in hopes of avoiding any potential eMMC bugs.

All roms were compiled by me but most of the source needed to compile was developed by the people mentioned in the OP. Including but not limited to Arco, ADC Team, Camcory, and other devs you have all seen around here.

Also side note ill be updateing the 10.2 rom again soon to address the camera issue. Was my fault i didnt update my 10.2 device tree before makeing that new build. As long as i havent missed anything the next 10.2 should be ion/pmem and work as advertised.

It's perfect and even better with supercharger v6 and services jar (part of supercharger). Smooth as a babies bottom.

thanks for the update. also a side note 10.1 notice 3d games dont work. it sits at blank screen til you press home. but its cool 10.2 is good til i get cm11 working. got the sources so i can fix our issue but have to wait as our power went out and can't use my deving pc as it's power hunger and don't want to kill the generator in a few days just in case i need it longer than that.

Yea i did notice that blank screen with some games. doesnt affect them all though so not sure if its game related or rom.

havent fully looked into the difference between kernels but same games that gave blank screen on 10.1 dont on 10.2. its rom/kernel related. on aoip and aokp they worked as well. like i said thou not a biggie since you updated 10.2 to ion/pmem.

@cars1189, how is your CM11 build related to the one jfbs released? Is that one still active as far as you know?

They are basicly identical. Only differences are when we sync with cm sources and he removes some unneeded CM stock apps. He removes ~5 apps maybe. The only one i remove is CMUpdater. 1 because it doesnt work for us anyways and 2 it used(and still might) to FC repeatedly so thats not cool. Other than that pretty much the same. And im sure hell be releaseing and doing more work. I just added mine in the mix just because im makeing them for myself anyways and its a way to push more test builds to help him and me work out glitches. (imo, which in part relies on you guys to test builds so we know what to fix)

Edit: apparently its better than mine he has gotten the camcorder to work! Yay! Definatly go check out his build. Hit up that thanks button for him and the others that have helped.

Judging by your github local manifests, I would guess that yours also doesn't have the vold or settings patches for swapping internal and external SD cards. On the plus side, at least your manifests are up there !

I had one FC on first boot after installing the CM11 1/11 build using jfbs CWM 6.0.4.5, but I just clicked off it and I forgot what it was. It was when the CM getting started prompts came up. I'm having the same issues with Netflix playback as @jfbs CM11 builds. More info on that here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49346914&postcount=344

That explains why the build.prop swap setting has no effect.

just waned to let you know I love your 10.1 rom haven't test your 10.2.. just tried you cm11 after builds of jfbs cm11 stopped working for me.. it booted up in the first try, no errors, nothing.. simply perfect. its only been a few minutes so i'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I know its all good.. thanks man!:good:

edit: I did notice one thing different about the flashing process though, when flashing I noticed the gapps you gave said 4.4.1 gapps on my exhibit 4g screen as where the links jfbs gave where for 4.4.2 gapps right? so I checked your android build number and it is 4.4.2 so maybe its been the gapps that has been given so many people problems. I bet if I flash your gapps with jfbs's rom it'll work..?

danny8 · Jan 15, 2014

I'd like to share my experiences with two of the ROMs featured in this thread:

CM10.1 is the best ROM I've used with my phone. It seems totally stable and I haven't run across anything that is broken. I am very grateful to have this ROM.

Two of the things I appreciate about 10.1 -- which seem to have been dropped in 10.2 and above -- are the ability to turn off the CRT animation, and the shutdown buzz that occurs when you power off.

CM11 gave me a host of problems. I did not have the smooth experience the previous poster spoke of. I used TWRP. The installation seemed to proceed correctly. However, when I booted I got a bunch of "... unexpectedly closed", or "... stopped" messages. I rebooted a few times and made a small bit of progress, but clearly something wasn't cooperating.

I think there's something in the CM11 software stack (possibly introduced late December or early January) that doesn't like early versions of the Exhibit hardware. I am unqualified to substantiate any such claim so take my comment with a huge grain of salt. (Yes, one huge grain of salt -- at least a centimeter in size. You can get them at the health food store.)

I'm also going to try jfbs's CM11, but I don't really expect it to work.

I havnt had any problems with the 4.4.1 gapps on 4.4.2. However i guess anything i possible.
