Hm how did you get this working?

To get QuickPic wprking as a system app I always moved the app to /system/app and have to place the lib files into the system. TB only move the app to the system, so how you do this? :o

Hey everyone. I'm back with another problem it seems :( I'll try and explain the best I can.

I've noticed problems recently with my camera. Whenever I hold the phone regularly, meaning it's directly in front of me, upright, vertically - like in this picture http://www.alternativenetworks.com/images/mobile/Samsung_Galaxy_Ace.jpg and take a picture, my picture will end up sideways instead of upright, like this http://i.imgur.com/fDcbAPe.png

My camera isn't calibrated? What do I do? This is the stock camera app that came with the ROM. Worked great with no problems until a few weeks ago.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankup:
I'll try and explain what I mean more clearly with screenshots.

This is me holding the phone upright and taking a picture in portrait mode (phone is upright, volume buttons on the left, power button on the right, home button in front of me at the bottom of the phone): http://i.imgur.com/sVhTy0v.jpg See how the whole picture is rotated 90 degrees to the left. When I had the phone in my hand and took the picture though, everything was fine on the phone screen (no rotation).

This is me holding the phone 90 degrees to the left (volume buttons pointing down, power button pointing up, home button on the right side of the phone) http://i.imgur.com/f5SwOsG.jpg This is the way it looked like on my phone when I was taking the shot and this is the way it looks like on my computer when I preview it.

The problem is when I hold the phone upright and take a picture. Seems to be doing fine when I tap the picture button (no rotation to the left 90 degrees) but once I preview it on my computer it opens up as a rotated picture.

I come with another problem, this time about Poweramp. My trial version has expired so I downloaded an apk of the full version unlocker and put it on my SD card.

Now I'm getting this message when I open Poweramp: http://i.imgur.com/LH1xl5C.png I know the full version unlocker is installed because it lists it in Titanium Backup. How do I get the app to work?

The Play Store doesn't let me update Poweramp so I'm assuming I have the newest version but how do I find out what the newest version of the full version unlocker is?

Haha ok I'll get it through the market.

Question about my persisting download problems. When I download apps from the Play Store it just says "Downloading" and doesn't give me a percent and there's no progress in the download at all. WiFi is fully on, connection is good I can browse the web, etc. But it just says "Downloading" and doesn't budge. I've cleared cache, enabled Download Manager. Still no progress.. :(

Edit - after many tries of restarting and rebooting and clearing cache/data I did get the download to work. Now I'm getting a pop up saying "package file is invalid". Also, it's saying I have insufficient storage space - the app is less than 1 mb and I have 12 mb free on my phone. What gives?

I have a custom ROM running 4.1 though.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nix01:
First of all.. Check if you've an updated playstore.. If not give it some time it'll be updated automatically and then you'll be able to download apps.. Or you can download the latest playstore on your pc and then replace it with the old one in system.. If the latest playstore isn't installed, you can't download apps..

Secondly, phone also needs some free space/memory to run the applications already installed. Also I've experienced that if there is less than 10mb free in memory card the music player doesn't work..

So make some free space, delete unwanted apps..:thumbup:

You're right because I purposely downgraded my Play Store version to free space and it was refusing to download anything. I was suggested to uninstall updates for the Play Store - did so, and now it works fine but I'm getting this "invalid package file" error.

thank you so mutch for help...

to the link2sd question

you link the libs of the app to a hidden partition on your sd card. i thought you've partitioned the sdcard before using link2sd.

link2sd works good, but if you want free space on your device and you use cm7 try s2e. here are great links in this forum whitch explain s2e.

s2e works very good for me!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankup:
Alright I'll try and explain what I mean with my link2sd problem. Right now I have 0 user apps on my phone (except link2sd) and have 27mb of space available on internal storage. When I go into settings -> apps -> downloaded -> it shows 27mb free space. I scroll to the right and go under "on sd card" it shows link2sd but 0.00b and no checkmark beside it, meaning it's on the internal storage and not on the sd card. That's fine - link2sd can not be transferred onto sd card memory. This is what happens when I try and download an app and transfer it to my sd card:

I install Titanium Backup on my phone from the Play Store. It gets installed and my internal memory goes down to 25mb of free space, 2mb down from the starting 27mb. But this is where the problem is. I scroll to the right to go to "on sd card" and it shows titanium backup there with a checkmark. I tap to enter the app and it shows me the option of moving it to my phone. 1) Why was the app installed directly to my sd card and not my phone? 2) If it shows it's already on the sd card, why did internal memory go down by 2mb? 3) If it shows it's already on the sd card, why would I have to use link2sd to create a link and put the app on the sd card (isn't it already there)?

Appreciate it if someone could help I'm not very good at this and very confused. I hope I explained it correctly - if you don't understand it I'll reply and word it differently.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asifcheer:
1. Firstly there are some apps which installs directly on the sd card, I don't know why (maybe it is set by app developer for low end devices). Some games which requires large data files to be downloaded to sd card directly installs on sdcard. ( maybe titanium is creating a large backup file on sd ... I don't know)

2. When you move an app by native android app to sd method it can only move [app file] in android 2.2 and [app+lib files] in android 2.3+ but cannot move dex files which still remain in internal ( it may be shown as 2 mb )

3. To move [app+ lib files + dex] files you need to create link using link2sd

Hi Sir,

Sir i have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. I Tried to root it using Root Genius. Everything went good. But the device turned off by itself several times.

Then once again when it turned off i tried to turn it on, but it didnt.

It doesnt go to Recovery too but Download Mode is Working.

I tried to flash it back to Stock using Odin. Odin Flashes it correctly but att the end it shows a message ''Killer Timer'' which it didnt show before when i used to flash my device with the same odin. After flashing the phone doesnt Turn ON by itself rather i tried to boot it forcelly but i didnt.

In Short It Seems to me that the Recovery and Boot are wiped out of my phone.

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomlizard:
I saw it somewhere mention that:

if using none stock bootloader, and the device was rooted.

then u have to unroot first, b4 to clear cache or do factory reset.

(btw, i don't know if it true or not.)

if u had tried every software method , and still out of luck ,

maybe the jtag riffbox is your only hope,so send it to the phone repair shops.

(the phone repair shops that can revive your phone must have that.

and i don't think many people will buy one for themselves, unless they wanna write or play around the custom firmware all the time.)

It has listed each and every possible way.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Another simple way

Sorry for troubling you, but this can be the problem:

While working on Android or Windows Terminal, the command you type is searched in directories contained in the PATH environment variable.

So type the following:

su
cd /system/bin
flash_image recoveryonly /sdcard/<recovery_name>.img

NOTE: You need to replace '<recovery_name>' by the name of the file.

If it is a zip extract it using Root Explorer and Extract the recovery.img file out to the main folder of the SD Card(/sdcard or /mnt/sdcard)

This

will

work;)

Do not worry you are getting worried unnecessarily

Cwm 5.0.2.6 is the best recovery for our poor SGA so do not flash other recoveries

You just have a faulty recovery.

Download fastboot binaries for windows and i know you know how to extract recovery.img from its zip

Paste the recovery of cwm 5.0.2.6 and fastboot binary in C:\ or D:\ and open cmd

In command prompt type

cd ..\

Until you see only

C:\>

Then

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

In sideload mode of your recovery generally in advanced section of the main page

If it does not work probably you need to reflash stock rom in odin
