Hi!!

I am completely new to Android & I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace.. I have some questions--

1. What is a Custom Rom?? I mean, is this some kind of theme like we used on Nokia Phones?? (I have tried many websites to read about this, but none of them defines it completely)

2. If I update to ICS according to ur procedure, will my device work as fast as it works now??

3. What is this Camera Problem, everyone's talking about??

4. Suppose, I upgrade to this ICS & I don't like it.. Will I be able to go back to my original firmware??

5. What are requirements to do this?? (Like rooting & all)

6. Will all my existing apps run on this upgraded ICS??

I know its lot of Questions & some of u will find it silly but I will be pleased if someone answers these questions.. Thanx... :highfive:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
2. No...the performance is not on par with the stock rom.

3. The camera in this rom is partially working without preview. You cant see what you capture, but u can take photos.

4.yes you can via a couple of methods.

5. A samsung galaxy ace..but strictly GT-S5830 for this rom..no prerequisites for rooting..

6. Yes..unless mentioned otherwise.

So what? you were expecting a signature here? Well, you got it
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iuly1209:
this rom si so close to being perfect for Ace . works great , is much faster than stock 2.3.6 battery is ok . the only bug i found is USB tethering that is not working at all .
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
You high mate? Faster than stock? Wake up from your dreams mate..

guyzz.. im having a prblm here,

after flashing the firmware,my fone is stuck on a blue screen :(

i hv done wipe cache,wipe data n wipe dalvic cache.

7 of course the installation ws complete

is there anything im doing wrng ? :crying:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mardon:
Yes its faster. But depends on settings u choose. Example disable all animations and dithering. Optimize oom grouping kernel gov. etc...

But on default settings after flash its slower.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
Stock is faster on as-is basis straight up after flash..

You be drunk if you say this is faster than stock.

This CM9 is very nice.

For me, need only deepSleep and cameta to fix.

Good jod develop's.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -Light-:
go to setting- performance which is categorised under system!! there you find option!! cm9 setting is not fully available as said by maclaw in first post!! some settin are there with just other settings integrated in specific category!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -Light-:
Deep sleep solution!!

hey guys i think i found another way to get deep sleep working!! you do not need to restart your device!! just use ram optimizer to optimize your device after disconnecting from charger!!

NQ security's optimize worked for me dont know about other optimizer!! give it a try once hope it works!!

also dont forget ic check if its working using cpuspy!!

How can I make Link2SD work on RC0? When I try to use it like I'd do normally it says:

"Mount script error

Mount script cannot be created

mount: invalid argument

ext3 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition."

And I don't want to use S2E. I'm never sure if it works and Link2SD is way more convenient (for me, at least).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] biswatmak:
Maclaw and Marcin I know this is not a serious issue but you should clarify an information on your GalaxyICS.com Home page

Samsung Galaxy S has official CM9 nightly.

(if I am not wrong)

ya but cant u read what he has asked?? he has asked to link to the post not direct link!! so better u read fully before posting!!

Sounds like the ext4 partition on your sd card is broken or formatted as ext3. Reformat as ext4 should solve your problem.

I noticed that there are less spams here compared to the dev thread.

Because everything is considered spam in the Dev thread, not here.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Maryushi3:
Yes, it's formatted as ext3 and Link2SD won't mount it

as ext3

.

But isn't it better to use ext3 or even ext2 on SD card? ext4 won't make any difference in performance on SD cards and only make them wear faster afaIk.

Long story short: I'd rather add ext3 support to CM9 than format sd-ext as ext4. Is there any way to do it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ACE_forever:
Are there any news and what about beta 9. Please dont attack me but the last news for beta 9 was a long time ago (compared to the past of the development of this rom):)

In the flowchart (Will my device get CM9) there is a point about having 512+ MB of RAM
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
guys whats your honest opinions of this rom vs cm7.2?

as cm7.2 has some things taken of ICS anyway like dialer enhancements.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] p00l:
Cm9 is far more better...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] system.img:
If you want an eyecandy rom, go for cm9. If you want performance, cm7.2 will suit you!

Bluetooth problems

At first I I would like to say hi to everybody as this is one of my first posts on XDA :laugh: :laugh: And the follow with a guestion about ICS on our beloved ACE.

Did anyone tryed the bluetooth headsets with CM9? I pair it with the phone, but I can not get it to connect automaticly. :crying: When I manualy press connect in workes.

This is a big problem for me as I use BT headset a lot and I always have to mess with the settings to get it working. The same thing happens when I pair the phone with my cars BT. No autoconnect.

With any stock rom 2.2.1, 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 the connection is working greate. Does anyone have any idea how to get this working on CM9? Any way to use the BT app from stock rom in CM9 or CM7.2??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] replay00:
Tried this rom for a few days and I must say I loved it. Unfortunately, after installing Apex launcher and some other apps my phone started functioning a little slowly (plus the camera and clock weren't working) so I went back to stock. I miss this rom.

I can't wait until the developers release another version with some bugs/errors fixed.

Keep up the good work.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SMillerNL:
Use camerfix for the camera and don't restore your alarm with titanium backup for working clock.

The Path app does a great job of controlling our wayward camera, although catlog reports a significant memory leak. My question is how does the app do so much better than the standard android camera. Is libndk.so replacing one of the camera libs? If so can it be integrated into our libs? The other thing I noted was the first thing the app does is close the camera, which seems important as other apps report "camera busy". Any opinions?

Reducing ROM size to have more storage?

Hey Guys, so if I dont want to install (for example) Talk app I can just delete the talk.apk from the GalaxyICS-latest\system\app folder, or there are any other works to do?

Is it works backwards? If i add an .apk to that folder it automatically installs when I flash the ROM?

And last, what if I delete the bootanimation.zip from GalaxyICS-latest\system\media ? It will work correctly without the animation?

Just in case to reduce the size of the ROM :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mardon:
Better you do it after flashing the rom

For bootanimation first disable it in build.prop file or you maybe will have a boot error because of missing file.

What's is the best performance settings configuration for u guys for smoothness and battery?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mardon:
Set cpu governor to smartassv2, set min freq. 245mhz, disable dithering, enable ksm and use more zram for a better performance of the rom.

You also can disable animations for better performance and battery lifetime.

Apex launcher works smoother as the default trebuchet launcher and has more options.

Another question that maybe it need to be on general but here I go. In ICS apparently is different when i try to put any image like wallpaper. I have a portrait photo but when I try to use it like wallpaper, ICS forces me to crop in a way that loses the idea. There is a way to put portrait images as a wallpaper without crop it?
