Somebody please email me the file /efs/nv_data.bin and I will try to work out a way to get the unlock code for the phone

Don't flood them - i only need one from a locked phone, so I will only look at the first one I receive.

Email it to

i couldn't find efs directory on the device,neither i found nv_data.bin

is it possible it has a different name?

Google Maps

hi, it seems that Google Maps is left out in Villain Rom. Now, I can't download it in Market (probably because I'm in Philippines?)

Anyone who has the apk to the latest version of Maps?

Thanks,

Just keep cool, guys.

Nprussell does this for free, and he takes some of his free-time to work on the ROM. But like any other normal guy he has a job and family.

So don't be so mad, and have a little patience for new updates. The ROM like it is now is really nice, and the bugfixes can wait until he really fixed it. Or do you want to have a Vista-like ROM on your phone? :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] nprussell:
Two words for you. **** off.

To everyone else... I was dropping by to give you an update! Most of you guys don't know me, as you've only recently visited the VR website for the first time.

I work full time in Android development for a company in the USA, and I live in the UK. I have been awake since Sunday (for flights home), and was out at the theme parks in Orlando all weekend.

I need to sleep and have the day off today, but I plan on resuming work for this phone tomorrow and Thursday. To the patient guys out there, I'll try not to keep you waiting too long! For the impatient guys out there, please refer to the aformentioned 'two words'. ;)

Hi,

First of all, m absolutely new to custom roms for android. My last venture in this territory was with my HTC p3400, which was quite some time back. I have no ideas where to start and what to do.

So can you please .. please write a tutorial or how to, from the very scratch, with pros and cons of modding.

It would really be of great help.

Thanks.

:( is a bad new, because for me the most important now is the battery live
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] mastrone:
I disagree with that, in my case it even improved. Not so significantly but my ACE easily reaches 1.5 to 2 days of life with WiFi mostly turned on and gmail always in push with two accounts.

Of course, I don't enable GPS, use 2G networks as much as I can and don't stress the device with apps like latitude always on sync.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] casiocas:
Its amazing ROM! Thx man. The phone is really fast and stable. I have now more space then before with FROYO. Then I have like 60mb free RAM, but now I have 85mb free space(installed 110 apps) and its faster. Continue your nice work!!!

CHEERS ;)

Maybe it helps him to look for the solution in next update! ;) But still BIG THX to nprussell, for that FIRST custom ROM!

I am really no expert, but i guess thats a completly different phone (hardware wise). The drivers then would have to be modified to work on your phone.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheAceGuy:
Finally flashed the ROM......works great....just have a few issue though...

1. The market app seems erratic in behaviour....the downloading of an app doesn't start even after 10min :confused:

2. Can't change the Lock Screen wallpaper, and settings goes into FC when we try to change it.

3. I am using Launcher Pro (as i wanted some less than 5 screens that were default and has no option yo change them) but sometimes it too FCs.

4. The Program Monitor widget seldom shows the right number of apps running. Mostly displays the wrong number.

5. Some more FCs here and there.....

Apart from the above its great.....i especially like the Lock Screen. Currently using the honeygreen theme. Great work man. Cheers.

Also if anybody else is having the same problems and have found a workaround, do tell. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] catapult1234:
1: Using MP intensively and have found no probs yet with downloading apps

2: Never used that setting but can confirm FC on trying to set lockscreen wallpaper

3: Using launcher pro without any probs here (paid version)

4: Yup the widget does tell the wrong number, but my guess is that has to do with launcher pro not the build of android.

5: havent had 1 yet (besides the one mentioned at 2)

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] casiocas:
1.Never was problems with Market.

2.Confirm FC with changing lockscreen wallpaper.

guys i want to install this rom but i need swype any option for that please help me cheers

I heard the registration for the swype beta on the official site allows you to download a quite new version.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] shadow_empire1:
did not work for me. unistalled original swype version and then installed the beta installer. it finds another swype version on my ace and does not proceed...?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Bluffyone:
russell is going to add swype in the next version of this rom, wait for it
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] villemann:
But in VR there is no previous version, so it should work. It worked for me, but couldn't add polish language, so after all I went back to KPE, and I hope Swype will get back in the next version of VR :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] hypergamer1231:
Awesome but I have got the beta apk from the swype website will that work if yes then I will install this rom today also can anyone confirm is auto focus working in this rom
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] gigi_77:
Try it, I did: installed 2.3.3 KPE, next Titanium Backup copy Swype. Then I installed Villainrom - Titanium Backup-Restore Swype. Then I installed (from program Titanium ) Swype. And it works for me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Bluffyone:
Basically this rom is made using kpe as base so the autofocus issue was resolved in the Kpe version and it would stay in this also.

u can try swype, few users were able to use it so it would work ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ingbrzy:
Here is Swype.apk extracted from S5830XXKPE... just install it...

I dont know... I extracted it from stock S5830XXKPE FW using Winrar and MagicISO.. didnt install.. it has 12MB.. I dont want it... :-)

Does someone have Swype from froyo? Because i liked the double-tap-to-mark-a-word feature. Or is this the fault of the whole gingerbread-update?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ingbrzy:
@downloadonlyaccount

If you want, I can extract swype.apk from XXKC1 but I think that feature is just in the keyboard settings... or not..?

Hey guys, I have a UK Xoom and the backend of next week I am off to New York for a wedding for a week. I want to take my Xoom with me however I am unsure if I can charge it with my UK power adapter. It's obviously rated for 220-240v will the lesser voltage of the US power supply still charge though my current adapter or will it not work altogether? I have no idea how I am going to charge it if I can't use my UK adapter. :-S

Can't speak for a UK xoom. I got, one from the US and use it in australia.

My charger states 100-240v and I can use mine here or in the US....in fact in many countries, I just need a plug adaptor, not a voltage convertor.
