---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

question again, if by chance that i wanted to change ROM shud i always format the extension partition that i created thru CWM and reformat the sd card via minitool partition?

or i will just left the CWM ext partition untuouched and flash the new ROM and re-install the Link2SD so that i can link apps..

Hey I have a question

I have stock rom nandroid backup

But I want to backup it into .Zip format like other custom roms which can be flashable via Cwm

How can I do that???
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
Thread updated :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
Sorry, I typed in the code wrongly. Type this in

*#*#4636#*#*

Just flash the rom as it as and reinstall link2sd

You have to extract the system.img from the backup and put it into a folder

Then take the boot.img and put it in the same folder(No need to extract)

Then take a compatible updater script and put it in META-INF

Take data and put it in /data in the new folder

Then zip them

I advice you not to do this and just restore a nandroid backup as it is.

a big thanks to whole of the developers community who made this possible

a small but though

where are the google apps i have searched gapps on internet but didn't found any gapps link specific to CM 10.1 Wayland's ROM

alternately there was goo.im/gapps (First option in table that i used) link in one of the installation guide

when i installed CM 10.1 and then this gapps package and booted the phone for first time during the sign in

android keyboard didn't show up and not even after fully booting up the keyboard was just gone

so i guess this was not the right gapps package

guys i know it's a noob question but i'm not used to Link2SD, S2E and so on... My Optimus Black doesn't need it so i'm facing a new thing.

Anyway my girlfriend has an S5830, rooted, now i want to move apps to the SD but don't know which method to use... on Playstore i read that S2E is ONLY for CyanoGen roms, is it true? There could be any problems with changing from a rom to another one by making this partition now that i'm on stock 2.3.6 rom?

Or it's better to have the partition done BEFORE installing new roms?

Next step will be to try some roms to find a quick rom without bugs because i don't want her to face bugs, locks and so on, she must be able to use it with no problems...

Hi, can i please ask assistance with increasing internal memory?

Here's my phone information

Hoping for your positive response. Thanks in Advance.

and also how would i know if my phone is rooted?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unnamed.Ace.User:
First, in order to increase your internal memory, you need to partition your SD card. You can find tutorials of it on xda. I think class 4 is ok for partitioning.

And second, you will get an app named 'Superuser' in the app drawer if you are rooted.

Hey all. I've got a Samsung Galaxy Ace s5830D that I've successfully unlocked, rooted, and installed Clockword Mod on.

When you have flashed cwm, boot your phone via cwm (holding home+power buttons until your phone boot into recovery) and select:

If you did flash, Before starting, make sure you have at least 1GB space free in your SD card. Go to recovery by holding down power and home button while the phone is booting up. Then go to Backup and Restore, then select Backup. You now have a CWM Nandroid backup.
