VillainROM on SGA with Heimdall?!

Hello,

Can some please explain to me how I can flash VillainRom on my Ace with Heimdall? I run linux so no Odin for me :(

Which file goes where?? :confused:

The villainrom download contains:

- MODEM_S5830XXKPE_CL185571_REV03.tar.md5

- APBOOT_S5830XXKPE_CL185571_REV03_user_mid_true.tar.md5

- AceVR.tar.md5

When I extract these archives I get:

- arm11boot

- boot.img

- recovery.img

- amss

- mibib

- oemsbl

- qcsbl

- system.rfs

Heimdall has these fields:

== Repartition

- PIT

== PDA/CODE

- FactoryFS

- Kernel(zImage)

- Param.lfs

- Primary Bootloader

- Secondary Bootloader

== CSC

- Cache

- Database Data

==OTHER

- Modem

- Recovery

Which one goes where? Do I need all fields?

It's great that those guys made a linux tool to flash phones, but I cannot seem to find a shred of documentation on how to actually *use* it :confused:

Anyone? Please help?

Thanks!!

Hope nprussel changes base to KPH 2.3.4, because it rocks! Way better than KPE!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Hi there

Thanks for this great work. This is the first custom rom for our phones. Thanks!!

I'll install it now.

I was using KPH 2.3.4. But tried to install new themes and it crashed. So i'll try villain rom.

I just want to ask something or request:

Can we do a custom kernel - For BLN and Overclocking the CPU- ??

Thanks again.:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] casiocas:
Jep, it´s already asked several times(custom kernel). We all like to sea, what this phone can do!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Jekle_Ace:
I think its likely this wont be the last leaked build If you think we had KPE then KPH the difference between them is 4 and its been 4 weeks between those builds we released so a new build is compiled each week there might be more leaked builds as Samsung are coming to a final release as the stable public version is in July not sure when

EDIT: Meant for the KPH Disscussion thread sorry
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Thanks man..

I am using Villain Rom since 10 hours and i like it very much. I thing its working quite good and fast like kph. Just i changed the battery icon. Smoooootthh :D

Dose you phone is in DOWNLOADING mode?(shut down phone, then push TOGETHER power+home+volume down button and wait untill it going to DOWNLOADING)? Then connect you phone to PC and ODIN will recognize it(in under first little window turnes to yellow and text like"COM...").

After that push the START button in ODIN!!!

still dunno how to download google maps. This ROM is ROCK, but it lacks of Google maps and swype keyboard
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] k1nca:
you may try, Code.ROMv1 (based on XXPKH)

this include newest Google maps version 5.5.0 and swype.

battery usage is better than XXKPE (this VR is based on XXKPE)

Hi guys, I flashed this rom, everything smooth, the rom is fast and stable, but I found a bug, the keyboard samsung stock in 3x4 mode I do not write letters, only numbers, I tried to wipe but there to make it go, but the QWERTY works well, I just wanted to report this, hello.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] naks1300:
Close Kies before starting.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] kennyssp:
Thank k1nca, but where can I download it? I downloaded at villainrom.co.uk/releases/Ace/download.php last time. It says "VillainROM 1.0 for the Samsung Galaxy Ace " but base on KPE firmware, not 2.3.4
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
After a few days, firmware is became unstable. I dont know why, but screen lights turning of and on sometimes, flashlight start to work, sometimes delivery report sound is not working... :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] casiocas:
What you do before today(few days ago), what you installed, or what you removed(can you remember, it can be very helpful) or what ever you doing like "EXPERIMENTAL"?

Little more info PLEASE!

Just asking, then we maybe can figure it out, what happens.

Cheers! :cool:

here's the link : CodeROMv1
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sahilkhurana:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] consegregate:
Will the next release be soon? If so I won't be flashing yet! :)

Don't mean to rush, just askin'. :D

XDA ♥
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
I didnt remove anything. Because villain rom doesn't need it. It clean and fast.

I am using some apps like :

BusyBox installer(1.18.4 i guess)

Astro File manager

CacheMate

Flashlight+led (working from phone memory)

Go weather

Task Manager

Antivirus Free

Barcode Scanner

Google Translator

Ndrive

Power amp

Power amp standart widget pack

Power amp unlocker

Power amp trial reset

Quick Boot

Zedge

Youtube Rolle

Atomic Bomber

Doodle jump

Fruit Ninja

Pool Breaker

Root Explorer

This are my applications and games. I am not doing or did anything experimental things.

hi guys just flashed the rom yesterday and i only have one issue, when i try to connect my phone to my laptop im having a problem transfering my files because it wont work as before, I mean before I just need to turn off USB debugging and its all good but after I flashed the rom its not working. any help guys?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] harrythescorpion:
Exactly.. this is a major bug in gingerbread in galaxy ace. i have raised this concern before also, but there has been no resolution to this thing till now.

in froyo if u connect ur phone to a pc that does not has the samsung USb drivers installed, u will have to turn off usb debugging to get an option to connect ur phone as Mass storage. but in gingerbread, no matter how may times u try, the usb debugging automatically turn itself on. so i am also unable to connect to any PC on which there are no samsung drivers/admin rights.

:(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] casiocas:
You just need to pull down your notification bar, after you connected to PC and TURN on MASS STORAGE!

CHEERS! :cool:

Still waiting for updates or new firmware.

I turned back to villain rom. (I got some problems before and i used kph for a while)

I am sayin it, fastest firmware i have ever used. For now, no problem. Everthing working fine.

I remember now, i installed a battery icon for villain before. But i didnt do that file, found from net. Now, i did it myself for villain, its working fine. Maybe that file now compatible with villain, and made systemui.apk and framework.apk files crash.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] AngeredNumber:
Hi since i flashed this rom on my ace, iv had trouble with sending texts. Basicly cannot send them, i can receive them and make calls, but not send. So iv read around and there seems to be no one experiencing this problem. What iv found is i can send them if my wifi is on, but if its off and my packet data is on i cannot, also if i turn the packet data off i can send again. :confused:Strange! So iv flashed back to stock thinking this may resolve the issue, stock been KPH 2.3.4. But i still experience the same problem!!?? Any help would be awesome, Thank you in advance.

Wifi Not working :-(

Hi, im kinda new to using different rom's. However i with the help of my friend i was able to use this new rom. Its awesome fast and very cool compared to Froyo.

However the wifi does not seem to be working. I tried all different type of sd card's and even tried it without the sd card and rebooting it. Any idea's how to resolve this issue?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] alldine345:
do your phone bricked or not responding for a long time? maybe it's SOD, my old phone also did ... even i flashed to old firmware and the newest it's same. then i take to Samsung service centre, they say it's a hardware problem they replaced it with no cost. maybe you can try it. sorry for my bad english.. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] AkshayHegde:
actually i ended up bricking my phone once already hence needed my friends help to do it. As far as we know its not sod and its not bricked everything works fine apart from the wifi. If it was a hardware prob it would have worked in froyo either i guess :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] hklcf:
thank you, try it later
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] pulser_g2:
I make VillainROM for the SGS2, and no I don't have nor want a Galaxy Ace.

I buy a high end device every so often to work on. that's why there is less development on the Ace.

NPRussell has one, and continues to do stuff on it. But I notice people being fairly demanding. Remember your phone is not the latest and greatest, and you are lucky to have people developing on it at all...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] digkong:
Bob i respect his work....

I even feel that this is the best ROM which make me constantly ask for updates.....sry if u feel bad .......
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] bula6595:
Yes phone is not.to new but i renember my old qtek 2020 and old.windows 2003 se mobile.that was a big pies of machine and there are developers for it now !!

Hi folks, my sister is getting an Ace in the next few days and am hoping to put this ROM on it. Would I be right in saying that this rom doesn't have swype? Is there any way around this?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Metallan:
Checked the first pages and couldn't find someone asking so I'll do it:

Will the ROM work with S5830L model? That's the one I got (it has 850MHz band instead of 900)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] villemann:
It has no Swype, but in this topic there's a description how to install it, and someone even attached the apk. Sorry but you'll have to find it yourself. I think it was in first ten pages ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] imranaryan:
battery doesnt seems to be happy with codenexus v1b.. 8 hrs is the max battery life.. and even after using a2sd data2sd my cache is lost and m unable to clear cache and i tried a2sdgui to move cache to sd still .. all apps r getting install in sd ext2 but cache is gettin in phone.. and my phn memory is decreasing bcs of cache
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] flanobrian:
Galaxy Ace

Oh ohhh! Rooted the phone first with SuperOneClick...that in itself was a bit of an ordeal and took 3 attempts to do it. Then I went to unlock the phone using Galaxy_Ace_Unlock. It gave me the codes.

When I rebooted the phone, the screen started flashing on and off, with the Samsung logon and won't boot any OS.

I've tried to Odin VillainROM onto it also using the method stated but still no joy.

Would anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] psycut:
What happens when you try to charge the phone? Does it give the normal battery-charging icon or does blick on and off just black? If second, then it's hardware issue and you should take it to service guys.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] flanobrian:
The second one I'm afraid! I subsequently found out that that program Galaxy_Ace_Unlock, has bricked loads of Aces.

Anyway, I've got a replacement phone now. Will VillainROM automatically SIM Unlock the phone? Any ideas on how else I can SIM unlock it?

Thanks

Use the Cooper.ops from any other firmware, it's unified (1.0) if I'm not wrong. CSC should be in the download package right?

hi, am collating some bugs/issues i have encountered.

1.) DroidSansFallback.ttf cannot render CJK text properly

2.) Lag when initialising screen lock

3.) Intermittent shutdowns

fyi, i actually migrated from my own operator/localised firmware in Singapore and flashed the CSC as provided by NPrussell.

i tried to replace the DroidSansFallback.ttf to no avail using Font Check. I managed to use Font Changer to route the directory of that font to a Windows CJK font. Chinese characters can be renderes but not for Jap or Kor characters. How strange!

There is nothing like paying attention, the thing Ace update got delayed is due to phone brick(screen shatter) accidentally. Soon we may get update

bro but u dnt feel that once any DEV takes up a development on a phone, he completely finishes the work for that phone..and then goes to a new phone
