Great work guys! Just tested out Ali's ROM in the forum. ICS looks pretty good on Galaxy Ace!

Just a few pointers though, I don't know if the same things are there on your sources but still.

>The time zone refuses to change.

>The app drawer seems to be too small for anyone's taste. Any changes on it getting bigger icons?

I am a C/C++ developer myself, so ping me if you guys need any help in that front. Ciao!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] tomsons26:
libmmjpeg is closed source found only libmjpeg, but Galaxy Nexus uses libjpeg witch is open source

And a question, can't we just use PNG instead of jpeg it has a lot higher quality and loseless than looesy artifacted jpg and the images woud be also lower size

Added pic showing PNG compered with JPG (image credit http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/jpeg-vs-png-image-quality-or-bandwidth/5385/)

Can you build the lastest LatinIME.apk from the sources for me if it compiles,i think i have an idea how to fix the offset problem, found somethin interesting in the code ;)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] djsky2011:
Do u develop?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] adeklipse:
Woah, woah, woah. PNG Photos?

I'm not too knowledgeable, but I know enough about image post-processing to say that using the Portable Network Graphics for photos is quite bad. Just because it's lossless, doesn't mean that lossy formats don't have sufficient quality.

I study in graphic design, and the way PNGs are encoded are optimally used for solid and gradient colors, hence are usually used for logos, banners and such. Since photos have a lot of color in them, it would be quite unwise to use it since its lossless feature would render the image to be several tens of MB in size.

JPEGs, on the other hand, are able to compress colors in such a way that graphics with many colors (such as photos) appear in great quality even though in a lossy format. That's why our camera (in GB) will shoot a ~1MB photo, even though it is 5 megapixels.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] tomsons26:
Ive used Photoshop for years,The first time i used it i descovered that JPG sucks bigtime

And a remainder Android is all based on PNG

And all im saying is its a lot nicer to have HQ PNG photos istead of fuzzy artifacted ones and PNG colors have always looked better for me and all JPG pic grayish
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Cool_On3:
Wtf? Djsky what is develop?! ( do you really think that question is the best? Next question is my age?

Yes i'm dev (age 23) , but i dont have experience on android only c# and c+ +, BUT i think, i and other people like me can help resolve some problems but only when you and people like you understant this is Open Source and is more fast and better if all work together.

DJSKY sorry i dont want "attack you" but after

read pages and pages about discust who **** mother of who i think ics 4 on ace is a long way to travel.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] adeklipse:
Yes, the graphic in Android are PNGs because they're graphics, not photos. Just like I said before, they have solid colours with minor gradients, which is perfect for PNGs and crappy for JPEGs.

I've used Photoshop for years, too, and I still call for it better (not in quality, but in use) for photos. The difference between a 10MB PNG photo and a 1MB JPEG photo can't even be distinguishable in pixel level.

Trust me, I'm from the internet. :D

In all seriousness, it's better to sacrifice a 0.01% reduction in quality rather than 1000% increase in size.

But, then again, I'm in no position to develop, so it's all up to the develpers. :D

EDIT: Oh, crap. I'm veering off topic. I'll stop here.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Cool_On3:
adeklipse sorry if I explained badly.

What I wanted to show is that this team has worked very very very well but have one major flaw, users of the forum (and possible developers) get the impression that after all this is not open source or just for a select few.

Open source allows any user to make the changes you want (eg problem solving).

I, like many people here just want to have your mobile phone to operate at its best and if there people who can help solve these problems we have to allow help.

After reading several threads and comments I realize that everyone wants to be the first to have a rom 100% but very few share information about the project.

I realized that there is a huge problem around the user Ali Wilson for what he did, but not everyone is thinking the right way because what he did can help solve problems in "YOUR" rom (sorry I'm being ironic ;) I'm joking with the situation but in a good way).

Also do not agree with what he did (try to stay through the credits of others) if he simply told the truth, someone in this team, could have seen that "rom" have libs that might be useful.

But we have to continue to make a rom 100% :D

I'm so sorry for off topic, but I just want what you want a rom that works 100% on my cellphone. ;)

To save some space remove these:

RomManager.apk	2,22 MB - Only use is to Kill Ace

Tag.apk	161 KB - NFC app we don't have a NFC chip

QuickSearchBox.apk	464 KB - There is a GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk for ICS in the rom from Gapps, but QuickSearchBox.apk is a GB leftover

com.google.android.nfc_extras.xml	1 KB - The same as Tag.apk

libfacelock_jni.so	888 KB - No front camera

I know 3,70 MB isn't much but it a much for aces internal memory

To fix some bugs :

These libs are built for ARM v7

Gapps :

libfrsdk.so

libvoicesearch.so

libfilterpack_facedetect.so

Source : - Shold to be recompailed for ARM v6

libaudiopreprocessing.so - I guess without it DSP effects resort to software DSP processing (uses CPU not the build in hardware DSP)

libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so - Probably the reason browser crashes at Youtube

libspeexwrapper.so - TTS lib - Guess that this is the Reason why Text to speech,speech recodnision and Voice output does not work.
