[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CrhonamO:
Hey forum,

I would like to know what is the best build for my galaxy ace of CyanogenMod.

I downloaded this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360889, but the Market has a huge fault when downloading. So I can't download anything.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a Fully working CM7 build?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailpancholi:
Officail is the only build by lots of bugs rather try cm7.2 by frozen ace team awesome
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] PJ147:
Have a read up on all the ones available as they all have bugs. Most noticably on the unofficial ones is the battery drain. Its difficult to answer whats the best as it depends on what kind of a features are important to you.

Read each thread paying particular attention to the bugs/things not working.

When you feel you informed enough make a choice, flash one and see how it goes.

(alternatively, flash each one and decide that way.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] msahin061:
I am already using this rom and didn't have any bug of this. Also I tried a lot of rom and find this the best.

Be sure you are doing right install.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TheSG:
I m also using this rom.

Try this,its best cm7 till now.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] amd-dude:
I have used Ice Cream Sunday Final by Jusada.

May I recommend Stocklite, really stable and has a good overclock base

bloody hell mate that looks a bit confusing ? if i flash unbranded what one should i go for im in the uk & what will happen ? will i not be able to update phone with kies anymore ?

my android version is 2.3.5

If u want android 4.0 flash this and use the flashing guide in the link above

U don't need kies to update because u can use odin but kies will work normal

hi,so thats ice cream sandwich yeah 4.0 ? and if so yes that will do me & i just use odin to put this on i dont need to root or anything ? just follow the instructions to use odin

thx for you advice buddy i appreciate it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Yes,no need to root

and remember one thing that don't tick re-partition in odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
One thing, when I debranded an Orange phone it wouldn't boot past the Samsung screen, Its better to power of then hold power, up and menu go into that menu and do a factory reset first.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Which one u installed?

It will just search but won't get updates because u have latest if u are on 4.0.3

cant thank u enough m8 the phone is so much better
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Install updates via ODIN = YES

Via KIES who knows all depends upon the phones codes matching a firmware on the server .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billnotben:
The above post is the only mis-giving I have to flashing this phone.

After reading virtually all of Intratech massive thread on this I'm still the no wiser.

My basic question is the same as the one posted in this thread. If I have a UK branded phone and then flash it with "official" unbranded UK firmware will I be able to update it in the future over the air or with KES? There doesn't seem to be a black or white answer to that only a suck it and see one.

I guess I've been spoilt using Sony phones which were easy to update and got even easier when Wotan became free. You flashed them and there was never a problem updating with SEUS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billnotben:
That's a good point and I guess you're right.

Either way even if I have a problem this forum seems to have an answer for virtually all of them.

That's a problem in itself as it becomes quite daunting if you look too hard.:)

Makes interesting reading though.

I will have to remember that just in case, thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
So, with a new ICS Update ready to roll at any time now according to multiple sources including Gary Key, like many people I have been watching closely for word of an OTA roll out.

SO: I checked for an update to see if anything was available and CRAP! I have an update. Why am I not happy? Well, I rolled back to .14 to resolve a couple of issues (successfully) and when .15 kept notifying me I just ignored it and eventually it felt unloved and went away. It has not bothered me since (about a month) but now... how the heck am I supposed to get .19 (or.20) without doing this first? There is nothing in .15 update that I want, and there are a few things that cause me issues, so ideally I would like to skip it, bypass it, leapfrog it, WHATEVER, LOL! and get to .19 from .14

a) is it possible?

b) would I have to wait for the .19 or .20 to be available for a manual update?

I am open to ANY ideas here... But I know the obvious. Either roll THROUGH the .15 to .19 or manually apply .19 (after a week or so for someone to make the package available. I am kicking myself because while I do not know what mechanism Asus uses for version checking, my hope was that one the .19 was avail on the FOTO servers. I could have just checked THEN, and perhaps skipped .15. Damn my impatience! "Okay... I Damn thee!" - Steve Martin in "The Jerk"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Here's how I do it

Root it

Let it download the update

Use ES or root explorer and delete the dlpgkxxx file in /cache folder

Hit that arrow that tells you theres an update and let it update

It wont complete the update since you deleted the file

Hit OK and it will revert back to previous screen

Shouldn't ask you after this

You can wait till .19 rolls around then do a check for update again and it should download the latest version for you or you manually can flash it if you find the zip

There's another way. You need titanium backup and freeze one of the processes. I'll post when I find it.

EDIT: Ok maybe I need to reread your question..lol. I think I misunderstood. Let me know if I answered it correctly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I don't know your specific reasons for not wanting the .15 update. However keep in mind that the .19 update will most likely have all of the changes included in the .15 update baked into it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Werewolf88:
Hello, I'm new to this portal, so probably my question will sound noobish

I've flashed ROM from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1451346

everything works fine, but market seems to have a problem with paid apps what I've bought after installing the rom

first of all it won't lent me buy it from the phone, just gives me an error message

so I tried to buy on market web, payment went through and it says that app is installed, but didn't install it in the phone and the apps never show as purchased (GoldenDict, Rom manager premium etc.)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
try clear cache and u sure u did data wipe before installing that rom?

If all doesn't work than try the android market which came with froyo

uninstall market updates,delete Vending.apk from system app ,download this,copy in system/app set permissions,reboot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Werewolf88:
cash cleared, everything fine

thanks )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
The best way to convey thanks is by clicking thanks:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Werewolf88:
one more question

I see you got the same rom installed

how do I do 160DPI? and what's that basically?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
It means that screen density is at 160 dots per inch instead of the stock 240. At 160 text is much smaller and you can see more on your screen.

You can do it using apps, like LCD density modder from the play store.

Sent from my GT-I9100T
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
either use lcd density modder from play store, it it doesnt work follow the below instructions

some lcd density apps do not work with ics.

better change the code directly.

1. install root explorer

2. open system\build.prop

3. search for "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"

4. change 240 to 160

5. save and restart.

Now you will get 160 dpi
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Werewolf88:
both ways didn't work for me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
then you are doing something wrong
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Werewolf88:
yes, may be

i just checked build.prop, no changes and root explorer say that i cant make any changes due to read only permission
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Toggle to rw mode by clicking the button on top.of root explorer before opening the file in text editor
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Werewolf88:
that worked, many thanks )

I've tried different dpi settings, ended up with 200dpi, looks kinda like qHD, 160 was too small for me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You must be rooted to change build.prop, and when rooted, you must remount the system partition to read/write. If you don't remount, the system partition will remain as read only, and you won't be able to update the file.

EDIT: whoops, didn't see the posts on page two. Guess you're already sorted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Werewolf88:
ok, the Play Store problem came back)

I even tried to flash that rom again, proper way, with full wipe and system format

once installed everything is fine, but after a few hours problem comes back

UPD tried this

works fine for now, but I got some apps compatibility issues
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elquango:
how do i clear the market cache? nevermind. found it.

still getting purchase errors from downloading stuff. even free things
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Werewolf88:
got to Settings/Applications/All, look for Google Play Store, tap on it, there is a clear cash button

EDIT: if clearing cash didn't help try the solution from the post #2 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23925161&postcount=2

Hey guys,

I just went from the skyrocket i727 to the galaxy nexus and noticed that the UCLA modem in the skyrocket provided phenomenonal reception. (on 3g not talking about LTE)

Would there be anyway to figure out why or how? or is it simple the skyrocket has a better antenna?

The Skyrocket does have better reception and data. My wife and daughter both have the skyrocket. Wish we could get there modem would be nice.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3devious:
My coworker has the Skyrocket. (She got it for a penny 2 weeks before it launched.) She can't even get a reliable signal for calls in our room sometimes. Even though my Galaxy Nexus can be a real wingnut sometimes, I still find it more reliable than my coworker's phone. Still, she did get it for a penny and as a member of the family plan, her bill is $30 a month, data included. I think I wouldn't mind the tradeoff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamdungSpambot:
Is she on the super modem though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
I hate to break it to you guys, but you have too many variables in your methodology to draw any conclusion. You have

not

demonstrated that the Skyrocket has a better radio than the Nexus. Unless you're using unlocked phones that you can switch between networks with (which don't exist for LTE yet), you CANNOT compare models on two different networks. You just as likely suggested (not proven either) that AT&T has better LTE coverage in your area.

Here's how you test signal strength between phones: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5254/investigating-the-galaxy-nexus-lte-signal-issue

Note that they're all on the same network and are right next to each other during the test. Due to how radio waves can bounce around inside buildings, having to phones in different parts of the same room is NOT PROOF. They have to be as close as possible and even then they can end up getting different signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamdungSpambot:
I'm talking about the GSM versions of both....both unlocked and running on the same network...

My unscientific test was simply..nexus doesn't work in basement but my skyrocket does with the new modem

Fyi I'm on telus Canada which supports 3g hspda and lte) but no LTE in my region yet

I know that flashing a GB kernel isn't compatible with ics so it won't boot past the splash screen...any one know if there is a way for me to upgrade??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
You need to odin a GB kernel, then upgrade, then flash one of ICS kernels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
ICS question.

If I'm running Calk's stock/rooted/fc07 v.1.0 and he releases a 2.0 version can I just flash over the upgraded version of fc07 without reverting back to GB el29?

OR

If I want to flash sfHub's fc15 ics rom can I just flash over ICS to ICS?

Thanks,

Pp.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
You should be able to upgrade FC07 stock to FC07 modded by Calk.

You should probably wipe when flashing someone else's FC15.

But first odin to el29 kernel. I heard that you could brick the phone by using FC recoveries. I think even Rogue team suggest using EL29 kernels for flashing things over their own FC kernels.

Here, use this http://goo-inside.me/kernels/TeamRo.../rogue_ET-recoveryonly-1.1.4-rc0-odin.tar.md5 . This is an EL29 Rogue kernel I use.

You would not change them in a ROM. You would change them in the launcher. You can have custom Icons with GoLauncher. Other than that you have to read the launcher descriptions to see.
[HTC Rezound] jumpman1229:
Hi all, just need a few opinions from some people, and who better to ask than Rezound owners themselves? Currently I have my TBolt and I love it except a few things are starting to go bad with it. The haptic feedback is starting to go out, it doesn't always vibrate when I'm getting a call or text even though I know for a fact I have it set on vibrate and the back lights on the capacitive buttons are starting not to work all the time. It's just starting to get a little annoying. So I was thinking of either getting a replacement TBolt or possibly upgrading to the Rezound. I wanted to know if this phone was worth getting or if I should just stick with this TBolt til the next gen Verizon HTC phone came out. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
coming from both a tbolt and a dinc2 id say yes, it's worth the upgrade.
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
Came from inc2, get it and you won't be able to put it down

[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
No I hate it!! It has too good of a screen and too good of signal strength.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Coming from the incredible, it's a substantial upgrade. I'd say try to get a rezound as a replacement to the thunderbolt. Maybe make a big deal about it. If not, I'd personally say to wait until a One X variant comes to Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] sknight13602:
I came from the evo4G and my wife has a tbolt this phone smokes both of them love it so much I would say wait for the HTC one but sources say it won't be on.Verizon just sprint and att. But you won't regret getting this phone
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Lol
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
I came from a bolt. I think its a substantial upgrade, but I stole my girls upgrade and gave her my bolt to get this. So...definatly a $300 substantial upgrade. Idk about 600+ for retail. The screen is gorgeous and updating like 11 market apps while using your phone without a hiccup is very nice. Do miss the kickstand though lol
[HTC Rezound] kingofyo1:
I came from the tbolt, complained over and over, and after going through 5 tbolts they said I was worthy of switching devices. Asked and received the rezound. Substantial improvement. Even with mostly just sense based roms available, the difference is dramatic. I'd definitely say upgrade to the rez!

I had a Thunderbolt and now am using a Rezound. I absolutely love this phone. I am also happy with ICS and appreciate all the devs hard work.

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
The screen on the rezound is amazing and the batt life is decent, but there's no S-off and there's really not a lot of dev work going on for this phone. Only a couple of roms to choose from. Depends on what you're really looking for. Stock phone with a great display, then absolutely its worth the upgrade. If you like doing lots of flashing and a wide selection of roms, then absolutely not.
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
This. Tbolt had different sense version roms, aosp roms, miui, senseless. We have sense and senseless
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
What's limiting us is the inability to gain S-Off, either way I prefer smaller groups of custom roms available versus nearly every dev working on the device. It can potentially make a huge jumble of a mess. I think the rom that came pre-flashed on it is actually very good, so why try to fix what's not broken.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I don't know about you but I'd want there to be as many devs as possible.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
+1

the more devs the better. i know some are comfortable with what we have and im not bashing but if we had more devs im sure s-off and aosp would probably be here already. the rezound is still a good device non the less.
[HTC Rezound] j0hnZ:
I find it awkward that people say they like the feel of the extendable battery. I thought that was one of the reasons people went HTC over Samsung because of the perceived build quality. None of my Samsung phones have ever creaked as bad as this phone does with the extended battery put on. Makes it feel even worse than my old MT3G.

Ive never used extended batteries. I can get a good 12-14hrs on stock.
