[Desire Themes and Apps] erklat:
Titanium by a long shot. Though I must say that by restoring system apps and data is playing with fire and asking for issues with your new rom.

[General Questions and Answers] sportsstar89:
Ok guys I was just wondering if I could get some recommendations on what tablet to get. Well I'm looking for the best tablet for around $500 and I was planning to buy it off eBay so I could get it for less. I was looking at the HTC flyer but it only has a single core 1.5 ghz and I don't know how much power that really is. So back to the main topic what's the best/strongest tablet for around $500? Thanks in advance!

(Also I really don't care if I could put my T-Mobile sim in or if it doesn't have mobile network support and I plan to root of course :) )
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
Well, the Transformer is not bad and it is the cheapest of the bunch (all pretty much share the same specs). The galaxy Tab 10.1 has a better UI and it is slimmer, but not quite sure if I would pay an extra $50-$100 just for that.

The Acer Iconia has one feature that I like which the TF does not have: the body of the Iconia has standard USB ports with host support, whereas the TF has a weird proprietary connector (which is also USB btw), so you will need an adapter if you are interested in attaching anything to it.

Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] sportsstar89:
I decided to go with the transformer because the tab 10.1 doesnt have a micro sd card slot so im not sure how cwr would work and the tf has usb hosting but i guess ill just have to buy that proprietary cable could i get it off of amazon possibly?
[General Questions and Answers] hiitti:
You sure that the tab 10.1 don't have sd card? Hmm, maybe only 8.9 have sd when i think about it...

Transformer was probably your best bet, I've heard nothing but good about it.

New European Firmware

http://hotfile.com/dl/130667828/158868e/S5830XWKPW_S5830OXXKPC_S5830XWKP7.rar.html

Build Date: August 22, 2011

CSC:OXX (Portugal?)

password for archive: samfirmware.com

No new Radio Firmware S5830XWKP7 maybe this is the last radio firmware. This was included in KPO, KPT

Flash via ODIN

It is a One Package file so make sure you are on a 2.3.3 Base

If you are CM7 2.3.5 this is unrelated the Base you installed e.g KPO, KPO is 2.3.3 so you are ok to install this otherwise install a full package 2.3.3 release then flash KPW.

WINDOWS XP USERS BEWARE! ODIN 4.42 HAS ISSUES WITH XP PLEASE USE OLDER ODIN OR USE WINDOWS 7 TO FLASH!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
This was released via KIES in portugal. I guess CSC = Portugal

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jekle_Ace:
Tried flashing in Windows XP with ODIN 4.42 and won't flash stuck on mibib. Luckily when I unplugged it and took the battery out for 10 secs I went back into Download Mode and still wouldn't do anything.

EDIT: Used Windows 7 and flashed it ok. All drivers for galaxy ace in Windows xp where correct. (Kies)

ODIN 4.42 must not like windows xp.

OXX is Portugal alright - but I can't get this update (or any other) on my Portuguese Galaxy Ace through Kies at all:-

PDA: S5830XWKB4

PHONE: S5830XXKA6

CSC: S5830OXXKB3

Can anyone offer any clue as to why Kies won't update? I've read elsewhere that its due to a mismatched product code/CSC but my product code is right for an unlocked Portuguese Ace as far as I can tell.

I guess, because I'm stuck on 2.2.1, I can't flash this single-package firmware via Odin :mad:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
If your Kies won't update , ODIN is your friend :D

Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davew:
This I have been told :-)

Reinstalled Kies, it updated with a hotfix and now I get a much clearer error message:-

The current firmware version is not an official release

Firmware upgrade service for unofficial versions is not supported

So how does a new phone, fresh out of the box on Saturday, end up in this kind of state I wonder?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Wow .

Sorry but I've ditched Kies a godly long time ago so I can't help you :p

Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pähkinä:
That is the question you should be asking from the shop you bought the phone from. Never heard of an error like that...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davew:
Quite likely they're complete divs who don't even know what firmware is.

Really not sure what to do now.

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

OK, I have a plan now.

I've downloaded the firmware this thread is about having done enough searching around to satisfy myself that this is a portuguese operator-unlocked firmware for the Ace. Now since I have a portuguese, operator-unlocked Ace (GT-S5830OKATPH) by flashing this I should be able to get further updates through Kies.

So if I root, flash Clockworkmod recovery, and take a backup before flashing this firmware, I should be able to go back to a stock state in case I screw things up or the firmware isn't what I think it is.

Does that sound like a reasonable plan? can I unroot and remove Clockworkmod Recovery in case I need to go back to a complete "as-delivered" state for warranty purposes?

Any tips much appreciated.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
To remove root + get back stock recovery , just flash a stock firmware and you're all set ;)

Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davew:
OK - flashing a stock firmware also changes the recovery partition, got it.

Is there anything else I should know before I try this?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
If you do get an SoD at Gingerbread , wipe everything in CWM and restore to Froyo ;)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] zizibuba:
I installed KPW just to see how it works. I installed cf-root b82, converted to ext4, changed some things with uot and it's all ok. The only problem is the lag when unlocking. When I press the power button it takes a long time for the screen to turn on. This also happens when I finish a call and move the phone away from my ear. Is there any way to speed things up a bit? Can I deodex it and what good will it bring?

p.s. I also installed Checks V4 ram script.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
For the lockscreen lag , download setCPU and set the CPU governor to either interactive , smartass or conservative :)

Deodex is removing the .odex files in your system .apks , allowing faster execution ;)

I'd prefer V6 Supercharger to Check's RAM script .

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
His ram script is just juwe's with some modifications but due to his boasting it seems to have a placebo effect.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davew:
Ok - after faffing about a bit today I'm now on KPW

Kies still won't let me update firmware though, same message as before. I tried a bunch of other Froyo firmwares also, same issue.

I guess I'll have to get my firmware updates from Odin. I still don't see any problem with my CSC or product code though, they are both correct for this phone.

...unless the shop took a locked Ace, unlocked it and then sold it to me :confused:

I've been on this ROM since posting this, and so far quite happy.

One funny thing - I had to use Kies today, so I reinstalled it (again), let it update itself and then plugged in the Ace...and it told me there was an update (KPY). Now it happily reports I'm on the latest firmware - must have been a bug that they've since fixed?

READ HERE FOR THE NEXT VERSIONS CHANGELOG OR OLD BUILDS' CHANGELOGS.

Released History

[A]=alpha =beta [V]=version =stable [F]=fast/smooth [D]=Battery Drain

NOTE: The format of versions wont be changed anymore, for example see my v006+ roms.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] brapicoco:
so basically this rom uses gdx as framework so it will be as fast as gdx? how about battery life? and about the installation, i will restore the zip file? correct?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kevinlogix:
No. The rom will be fast is because of lib files.

Framework is just not all changed to honeycomb icons yet, it won't cause the rom smooth.

It doesn't drain battery fast. I can normally use it without charging for about two days.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] brapicoco:
how about the installation? will i just restore the zip file? nothing more?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kevinlogix:
Copy it to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/

Then select restore in xrecovery, do full wipe, and reboot.

duude...now im only getting a max of 50mb free ram :S what to do??
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mukambc:
Best ROM until now...

18h using, still got 86% of battery.

Some improves that can be made:

- LED notifications

- set CPU speed in the cyanogen options

If I find something else, I'll notice =D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kevinlogix:
50mb free ram!?

Perhaps you have installed to many apps, remove some unused apps,

Or u can just clean up ext parition and do full wipe.

This rom can be clean up to 115mb of free ram, with FMRCLEANER.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamezeh:
i only installed like 3 apps :/ is this app free? cuz i dont have a credit card. tkss for your reply =] otherwise i really like this rom..and its faster than gingercruzt!

nm i downloaded it..but its only temporary :/ but i removed my weather/clock widget and now its average is like 70 ish so tkss =]
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Droid117:
Once you've fixed the remaining two problems, I'll consider switching from GingerDx. Is this rom faster than GingerDx?

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kevinlogix:
Greeting, :)

This rom is basically based on Dx because of many libs,

but it's not only for changing icons,

Some honeycomb apps and special features will be developed soon.

And some paid apps, unusing apps, start up sound will be removed starting from v004.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamezeh:
yeh i do know thanks very much!

And yes, my phone is sluggish.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] StrikaX8:
It's a nice rom, though it does have some useless apps. If you're going for a light rom, I suggest you only keep the apps that are necessary for the phone to work properly.

It would also be great if you included the A-Theme. While talking about eye candy, you could improve the startup animation and remove the vista sound :)

Good job.

And v004 will be released this weekend.

I have no bugs with screenshot. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] arikos:
Great rom one of the two best with dx for me and fast. But I have some bugs. Reboots some times when I force it a little but not very often. And camera after 3 shoots freezes. This is my opinion and mabe only my phone has them. With it can't play nfs shift but I think that happen with all gb roms.

But I love it and with some updates can be very good rom.

Just a thought.Did u consider to use the gingerbread launcher pro? It is not heavy. But that is good u have. And yes must change the vista sound with something else and some themes and 3d gallery I think. Excellent job there thanks for the very good rom
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamezeh:
how about no free ram..in which case, im the one that has constant problem with too much ram usage....all the roms that have these kind of features such as gingercruzt and this are too laggy for me,
