I don't think I played around with the camera settings but if so, how do I set it to default? I think it might be a problem with the ROM? When I was on GB it worked fine.

This is what I'm talking about: http://i.imgur.com/t47mruE.png The black is my actual screen on the phone, and that little square is what shows when I do panorama. To compare, this http://i.imgur.com/V5Qe88T.png is normal picture mode. Compare the screen sizes. And the panorama picture taking lags non stop - it is impossible to take one.

About the music thing. Winamp sort of has what I'm looking for. When I open Winamp and pick an artist, I have the option of finding songs through albums (what I don't want) or at the top Winamp allows me to tap 'show all' and then an alphabetical list shows up of the artists songs on my phone. Not bad, just like the iPod Touch.

How to return to stock firmware?

Hello,

I have problem with audio and I would like to check whether it's the rom problem or hardware, so I was thinking of going back to stock firmware,

I know you need to download firmware from SamMobile and use Odin, I've also found this link:

http://yagyagaire.blogspot.co.il/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html#.UgfdptL0GfI

But I saw in this guide a file named "Cooper_v1.OPS", what exactly is it? do I really need it?

Also, is there a way to backup IMEI / efs folder because I've heard some people screwed their IMEI up using Odin and their phone is useless:silly:

Is there a guide in XDA maybe on how to flash stock firmware for Gt-S5830 maybe? I've actually found a short one but it is without the "Cooper_v1.OPS " so I am worried about it..

*Btw, which firmware should I choose from SamMobile, if my country is not on the list?

Thanks :)!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankup:
So what should I do :(?

I don't. I just took a screenshot of when I had the camera open. The screen on the Ace is 3.5 inches. Didn't change any DPI and the custom ROM is CM10.1 - don't remember by who but it's on this website.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankup:
Ok so how do I make sure all my data is backed up and ready for me when I install a new ROM? I want to install another version of CM10.1 to hopefully fix the camera problem. Not sure what the steps are to backup all my files/apps so that I have them when I download the new ROM. Thanks guys.

Backup your contacts using the export contacts option in menu

Also take a nandroid before flashing your new rom

Just use YT and follow hubix' guide. See what the YT guys do to get a feel of using Odin but don't believe in everything they say because 50% of those are made by noobs who flashed their phone once and had a camera. Believe me

You won't mess up your IMEI unless you flash a firmware made for another phone or do some highly experimental stuff. Don't worry about that

Choose any country you like. It doesn't matter. Try and don't use the ones made by carriers though. They 'might' have some useless apps inside it

I found some more questions :silly: :

What exactly happens if I change the modem version (Baseband:confused:)? does it matter?

What is "cooper_v1.0.ops" file?

What is "Reset Time" in Odin v4.38? because the guides don't mention anything about it or what to do with it so I unchecked it, I hope it won't brick my phone lol :D

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
1. You network/data conection, calls, wireless... won't work properly

2. Cooper_v1.0.ops is a required file for Odin to recognize your phone as a "cooper" (Samsung Galaxy Ace) device

3. Untick reset time

Yes. Backup the apps and user data

You shouldn't restore everything from Nandroid backups. A nandroid backup backups everything in your phone, including the kernel and can be used to restore your phone to the original state in case the flash goes awry or you didn't like the new ROM. You flash back to it by going to recovery, selecting Backup and Restore and choosing Restore

Thanks for the help. I'm a real noob when it comes to this and I really don't wanna screw up anything because I've tweaked my phone to my liking a lot and downloaded a lot of apps, etc. Can you tell me what I should do step by step? Like what should I backup first? When should I download the new ROM? When should I restore? I'll use that as a guide from now on, and I also don't know which ROM to install. I really don't care as long as it's CM10, any suggestions?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
There are no step by step instructions for this tbh. Just flash the rom at the very last.. Lol

Anyway, I will try and put together something

*Take backup of contacts using Export contacts option

*Take Backup of call logs and SMSes if needed using apps from the play store. Just search it

*Download TB

*Open TB and backup all the apps you want

*Download the ROM

*Take a Nandroid Backup of your current ROM

*Follow steps in the rom thread to flash your ROM

*Restore Nandroid backup """"ONLY"""" if your flash fails and something """OR""" you don't like the ROM. Nothings gonna happen to your phone anyway but its going to restore all the data you had on your phone prior installation and also the ROM and the kernel

*Go to a beach and have fun

Well. Maybe not the last but whatever.

Use CM10. CM10 itself is a bit laggy on ace. More stuff on top of it just won't work properly and you will have a buggy OS
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankup:
Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for. I tried to do this when I went from GB to CM10 and there was no TB available for me. I couldn't restore anything I backed up because I switched from Gingerbread to CM (JB). I was told it's because it was a big switch. Like 2.3.6 to 4.2. If I switched from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 I would have had the restore option with TB available. Is this true? And going from what I have now to a CM10 will allow me to restore using TB?

When you backup an app, Titanium stores a copy of the apk and the data files in the SD card. Upon reinstall, titanium looks for files in that specific directory
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankup:
This is what I was afraid of.. I did everything like you said and didn't like the ROM so went back and did a Nandroid Restore. Everything worked and my old ROM is back but my apps aren't even though I did a Titanium Backup on them right before installing the new ROM. I backed everything up and then (as instructed in the ROM thread) booted into CWM Recovery, wipe data/factory reset, format /System. I guess this is where my backup was deleted when I wiped/formatted? How do I prevent this from happening next time? When the new ROM was installed, TB was still on the phone, I didn't have to download it again from the Play Store (if that makes a difference...)

On the old ROM my apps were installed on the phone but I transferred them into the SD card using Link2SD. Was that a problem? Should I have left them on the phone?

Edit - Just took out the SD card and put it into my computer. Opened the Titanium Backup folder and saw backups of all my apps, here: http://i.imgur.com/TnpeUEg.png So why doesn't the app see it when I try to restore everything?

I told you to take a Nandroid backup before you flashed :| You restored some old nandroid backup of yours. This is why you lost the apps when you restored. Nandroid backups backs up the apps too.

Do as CMV said and set a backup location. Try updating TB. TB isnt supposed to do this sort of stuff
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankup:
Thanks but, I'm not sure how to do that :( Can you give me a walkthrough, please?

I did! I did 100% make a Nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. Before the Nandroid I also went into TB to create a backup of all my user apps. Flashed the new ROM, didn't like it, went back into CWM and went into restore>that one Nandroid backup I had (I didn't have any before this, there was no way it was another one). Rebooted and my old ROM was back, went into TB, no option to restore user apps. I had 9 backed up and only 2 were available for restore (the 2 on my phone, not on the SD card).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
Your user apps are backed up by Nandroid. When you restore a nandroid backup, the apps will be restored too. Unless you uninstalled them before backing up ofc.

Haha nah it's probably me doing something wrong and can't figure out what it is.. Did everything as I should have though.. :( Got the Nandroid backup and everything and you say it doesn't get deleted when I wipe/partition/cashe/delvik, etc so it should be safe.. Ugh I'll try it again another day when I find a better ROM. I went through ~5 JB ROMs today and NONE of them had a proper panorama camera option. All had that lag/freeze thing happening when I tried to take a panorama shot. I can make a quick video and show you what happens, if you'd like.

Made a very quick video.

As you can see, the photo/video camera options work fine. Once I go into panorama mode the screen gets tiny, it lags immensely, it is impossible to take a picture. I moved the phone around on video/photo mode to show you how it's very consistent and moves very quick, as fast as my hand. In panorama, the image on the screen is very slow when moving my hand side to side and it doesn't follow it as fast as the other shooting modes. This was never a problem on GB. I've tried 5 or so JB ROMs and they all have the same problem with the panorama mode.

Hi,

I want to replace a few system apps with other apps from market (gallery with quickpic, sms with gosms, camera with camerazoomfx etc), however I am unsure whether to uninstall the system app or not.

All that he want...I wouldn't said it xD

[MENTION=4855005]zroftroffer[/MENTION] It's better if you are using TB ;) I mean:

1.Install apps that you want

2.Conver those apps to /system apps (e.g. launcher) and It will save your life because you won't get a black screen and you'll be able to use the new installed launcher ;)

3.With gallery = Exactly the same (quick pick is faster than stock so it's almost mandatory to remplace it :D)

4.Camera app could be replaced IMO but only app don't remove libs and permissions files but my advise in this case is as always backup all your rom using CWM before doing nothing ;)

5. Adventages using TB you can avoid to browse /system/app , copy/paste/delete and set permissions so using TB is really useful ;)

Link2SD does that. Its not your app data that doesn't get moved. Its a small portion of the application stored in internal memory to speed up the application or something like that.

Flash a kernel that support init.d

No it wont. You have to partition your SD card. Your SD card data will be wiped. You have to make two partitions, one ext4(the place where all this moved applications go to, recommended-512mb space for it) and FAT(I am not at all sure about this one, I forgot).

Just do a Google search on "partitioning SD cards for Darktremors script" or "partitioning SD card using CWM"

Yes, you can partition your SD card using CWM, it's the easiest method there is. Just keep a note in your mind that all the data in your SD card will be wiped, so you have to take a backup and also the partitioning takes a bit of time in CWM and there is a slight chance of the SD card getting corrupted during the process
