Samsung Galaxy W I8150 = Samsung Exhibit II 4G SGH-T679?

A friend of mine just got a Samsung Exhibit II 4G and I'm looking around trying to see what can be done to improve it. My question, of course, is: are the roms and other data from the I8150 applicable to the Exhibit, as the Exhibit is a T-Mobile version of it?

for sure, original firmware will not work across the two phones. got incidents of people downloading wrong firmwares.

The two phones are similar in look but not the same.

compatible?

Hello, I live in Brazil, bought on a visit to the U.S., Exhibhit a Samsung T-769 T-Mobile. How do I know the hardware is compatible to the W, I installed this ROM that worked perfectly. Only two things does not work. Face recognition gives error trigger and the Kies, gives the message that this device does not support updates. Anyone know to solve?
Thank you.

That mean you install the rom for W in your SGH?

Yes, i install the rom and work very well.

So its a good news for Exhibit users. Instead of porting they can directly use the W Roms.

Ehhh!!!! ali my friend....
I don't think so....
The ROM detk is talking about is an Exhibit II ROM.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22166097
He cross-posted into our forum and the ROM thread......
so, to be clear, he flashed an Exhibit ROM onto his Exhibit phone...
just in case anyone does anything silly like flashing that ROM to our Wonder GT-i8150....
dekd....you really should clarify this!!!

I use a rom I8150bvjlm2_I8150 bztolm2_zto_w and flash woth Odin.

[Q] Worth rooting and flashing other ROM?

So I'm getting a new and sparkly Galaxy Note 8 in a few months for my birthday, and I do know how to root and flash.
I'm wondering if it would be worth it to flash a custom ROM onto the device, because the S-Pen relies on so many Samsung applications to be useful, with out the Samsung apps, the S-Pen is nothing but a small finger. (Except, would the proximity work with the S-Pen and jelly bean?)
I'm most definitely going to root my device and install my favourite apps that require root.
Could you please tell me if it's really worth doing, Thanks.
(Sorry for noob-ish post, I've only posted a few times)
[EDIT]: So I'm now thinking weather I should get the new nexus 7 over the note 8, I want the note 8 for it's spen abilities, but the new nexus 7 is an easy-to-root straight from Google device. Thoughts?

I'm rooted, but still on stock. In fact, I intend to stay on stock 4.1.2 because that way I can have cascading floating multi - windows which are just yummy!

I love my note 8.0 . rooted and installed civs reflex ROM. No problems for me, just lack of apps2sdcard.. So I can't get a lot of the good games. Other than that its perfect IMO. Nexus 7 seems just ok, this tablet (may sound weird) but my gf share the tablet by her using pinterest and I'd just watch YouTube or video player while she does that. Multitasking ftw

Buy the new Nexus 7 2013 (2gb ram) with android 4.3 . There is a universal issue with the galaxy note 8: screen momentary freezing, and no one know if it is hardware or software or if the next android update can fix it or not.

It is not hardware cause I've been on custom rom/kernel since day one and never experienced a screen freeze. Betting it will be fixed in future Samsung update.

Must agree, no problems running civs reflex ROM. I know the screen freezing issue because I've been on stock ROM and noticed it. It is very annoying.

I downloaded civ reflex rom last night and I am experiencing the same freezing issue as with the stock 4.1.2 firmware.
I have also flashed CM 10.1 and there were no screen freezing at all. But CM sucking too much battery, I reverted back touchwiz.
The civs rom was created based on stock samsung firmware so I think the bug on this rom is the same with the stock firmware.
I think Samsung will not put out 4.2.2 for the note 8, but instead it would be the 4.3 update, and this would take at least 5 or 6 more months.
I think I am gonna sell this one and buy a nexus 7 (2)

Are u sure u downloaded reflex and not flexbeam? Also I think u have to select his modified rom, if u don't u get the stock kernel. Perhaps I'm wrong, I can't remember my setup. I just know I'm on reflex and running his 2.2 kernel, no screen freeze. I really hated that screen freeze, wouldn't have rooted if it didn't have that!

I'm going to buy a Nexus 7 too, but for personal use, and I will keep the Note 8 for work. To me, they are too different and can't be used for the same purpose. I need the 8 inch screen and the s pen for work. And I need the smaller size and better than retina ppi for comfortably reading eBooks on it. (Having an affordable device with LTE that I can switch at will between Verizon, AT&T or T-mobile, is a nice bonus too!) The screen freezes on the Note 8 have not interfered with my work. But they are really really bugging me when I try to use it for anything other than taking notes.

Can we get duak sim function on CM for our galaxy grand?
I think due to lack of dual sim capability on CM, most of the users of SGG avoid to use cm.
Atleast in my case, I am waiting for that feature in cm.

+1
but happy with the performance of these ROMs developed by our Gr8 devs... i can sacrifice one sim for the performance.

You can sacrifice but not everyone can do this.
Specialy in those case who uses one sim for work and other sim for home use.

kitkat is in very unstable developing phase right now and i think cm10.2 better option for us now as it is in more or less stable right now.
so first cm 10.2 then cm11 for us.

Waiting for cm 10.2 for our Grand ...

You are right.. Yesterday I saw kitkat running (cm 11) on galaxy s3..Which is a preview version.... Samsung galaxy phones are one step ahead because the features that came in kitkat are already embedded in android 4.2.2. For example transparent notification bar.,contacts search etc.. Waiting for your cm 10. 2

Is the proximity sensor ok ??
Hi there !
I installed this rom on my phone and noticed that it may be the proximity sensor which is leading to reboot.. because the sensor jumps in right where we answer an incoming call ( phone reboots at that time) and again when we make an outgoing call ( again.. the phone reboots at that point).. so is there any method to disable the proximity sensor so that I can test it ?? .. just an opinion because I felt that it might be the reason..
Thanks and Great Job Devs..
