AOSP- Android Open Source Project

AOKP- Android Open Kang Project

AOSP is pure android,no tw,no sense,just android,if you want the real feel of android and want better battery life and better perfomance,then its AOSP

AOKP is modified ICS,with a few good features.It is a nice rom and has great potential but could be pushed into 2nd place when CM9 gets fully merged.

Need help with battery STATS

sirs, I recently flashed stocklite 7, and calibrated battery using the android battery calibration app (not with cwm rec).

Now, the battery shows empty and the phone turns off within like 25 hours, even with bare use ( won't last > 2 hrs with wifi / data on! ). I used to enjoy like 3 days w/o charging (with bare use - right).

When I plug it in to charge, THE IMAGE (charging while phone is off)SHOWS 75% OF THE BATTERY STILL FILLED, when I plug it in!!!

My doubt is, I believe there's some access problem or so, there is still 75 % battery left, and I need a way to access it. Is their any way to repair it?

Following a nandroid restore

How long does the phone take to restart?

I've been sitting watching mine for 15minutes.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
If it's the first boot after installing a new ROM I set a five minute limit. After that it's a boot loop in my view. First boots can take longer than normal but not longer than five minutes. Normal boot up time in my experience is under a minute.

If you have just installed a new ROM go back and read the thread. Be sure to carefully follow flashing instructions (i. e. What wipes to do when, whether you need to mount system or data)

Try a few times but if you can't get it to work, never mind! Try another ROM. Don't write bad comments about the ROM, just retry after the next ROM update is released.

If you haven't just installed a new ROM you need to think about what you recently changed on your phone. In this case, more information is needed in order for us to help you.

Searched the forum a lot, but couldn't find an answer how to limit the amount of data to be retrieved from an exchange server per email in CM7.

In my stock rom (2.3.5) I could set the amount of data to be retrieved per email in the corporate exchange settings (f.i 25kb, 50kb etc). Now I installed CM7 (Apocalypse ROM) and there is no such feature.

Should I install another email.apk or account and settings.apk? Or maybe another solution?

I have a question. So I'm using cod rom with katsugi kernel, before that repencis 3.5 advanced.on The repencis rom they make it easy to turn user apps into system apps. Now that I'm using cod rom I brought the smart keyboard pro app amoung others that were system apps on repencis. I read that system apps permissions should be set at rw-r--r--

So I did that. But every couple of days the smart keyboard pro conflicts with my facebook app v 1.9.10 it makes the app flash on and off. Then the keyboard app starts fc. If I set the permissions to ---rwxr-x but leave it in system it works a little then the same thing happens. I finally figured it out. I uninstalled keyboard app after changing permissions to rw-r--r-- then reinstalled it and it works. But my question to you is. Besides the permissions changing, what else changes in the app when converted from user to system? There are other apps that I can't get to work as system like quickpic and adobe reader. Maybe I can do it manually if the change isn't only permissions. Thank you for the answer that I'll be receiving ahead of time. BTW this is on my galaxy y, I just realized that this is for ace. But I'm assuming that app conversion should be the same concept especially between ace and young. Thanks again.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankyDoodle:
Ace does not have stock ICS.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
Firstly welcome:D

It seems unlikely that the ace will ever have stock ics. Clever people are working very hard at bringing android 4 + to our device and have succeeded to a certain extent. For me the bugs are the things I use my phone the most for so I can't use the android 4.0 or 4.1 roms on a daily basis but I believe lots of people do.

Look in the original development section for our device to see your options. Read carefully and test them out. If you can find one that is workable for you go ahead and use it.

Bluetooth vs Wifi struggle

Hello. Go easy on me please, I've only just rooted my Ace and am proceeding cautiously!

My main reason for rooting was that I can't connect simultaneously to bluetooth and wifi. This is a nuisance because I'm trying to play internet radio through bt speakers. If I connect to the speaker (which is a job in itself) the wifi cuts out. When I reconnect the wifi, bluetooth drops out and will not reconnect.

I thought it may be due to persistent memory problems (the phone's, not mine) hence the root. I'm still running the supplied Gingerbread 2.3.6 with most of the bloatware removed and a few apps added.

Do you know of any miracle cures for an Ace with monogamous connectivity?!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
I believe the problem might have something to do with the fact that bluetooth and wifi both use radio waves and the phone has one radio chip. I can't be sure of that because I don't use bluetooth so I can't test it.

By the way, I LOL 'd at "I thought it may be due to persistent memory problems (the phone's, not mine)"
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherryaa:
Glad I gave you a chuckle, 121C4 ;)

If the device can really only handle one radio signal at a time, I'm stuffed, aren't I. Do mobile networks not use radio signals, then? The phone can manage wifi while on a call, but drops it when I connect to 3G. I can use a bt headset on calls.

Thinking about it, I'm asking it to receive wifi while transmitting bluetooth. I tried looking up info on radio chips before replying and am way out of my depth there! I guess I was hoping there's some sort of codec or app/plugin to make the Ace a bit smarter than it seems to be.

"ICS Search Widget" not working in CM 7.2

Hello Guys.

I'm new to all this and have tried to read as much as I can before coming to ask for your help.

My ACE has the new CM7.2-DEMOCRACY™ NT EDITION [04.11.12] [FireKernel OC] ROM installed, which has the 1.2.6 Holo Launcher as default but I have a problem. The "ICS type Search Widget" that can be activated BESIDES the normal Google Search Widget just shows a blank space and it does not work at all. It does not show the translucent "Google" in the left or the little translucent microphone on the right. When I press on it, absolutely nothing happens. If I activate the normal Google Search widget, it works perfectly.

I have re-flashed the ROM several times but have had no luck. Might this be a problem with Holo Launcher 1.2.6?

I have tried searching the forums for a solution but so far have found nothing. If there is a thread that might help, I would really appreciate it if you could point me in it's direction.

For any help you might provide, I thank you in advance.
