with CM10.1 always do this procedue:

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache

3. wipe dalvik-cache

4. wipe battery stats

5. mount and system >>> mount /system

6. mount and system >>> format /system

7. flash the rom

8. reboot

9. wait 2-3 min until dalvik cache will be generated ;)

10. enjoy!

Awesome, thanks Viper. I've been told I can't get any data back from a backup if I change between major Android versions (GB -> JB). I thought I could but I'll have to download everything from the Play Store.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
well, you can use Titanium Back up to backup your apps and data, but It is not fully recommended due to android version .S but It could work fine ;), and to salve only apps, you can copy it form /data using root explorer or similar file browser ;), then to restore the app you'll only need to install it as a normal apk :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankup:
I did backup apps and data with Titanium Backup but it's gone now that I flashed a ROM onto the phone, would the backup still be there if I downloaded Titanium Backup from the Play Store?

Heh I'm not sure about how to use apk files, root explorer and whatnot, still very much a newb :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
:eek:¿?

If you do a backup using Titanium backup, all your files will be saved in your sdcard ;), so you can download TB and when you install it, It'll recognize your saved files so no prob.

You can ask here and we'll try to help you ;)

If you are new here I advice you to read this thread completly, It's really useful, and contains lots of questions and how to do different things

Ah cool. I had no idea that if I download TB again I'll get my files back. By files, you don't mean apps, right? Because I had no "files" on the phone. TB was used to backup my user apps, so I guess that's what you're referring to. Either way, a little too late now, but will know for the next time I flash another ROM :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
TB can backup you apps and your data's app and then you can choose to restore app or data or both toguether ;), the only problem, sometimes there are incompatibility troubles and you can't restore GB data in JB (e.g.) mainly with stock system apps, but with the most of /data apps works fine (3er party apps) ;)

Wanted to see how the battery life is with the new ROM. I purposely left the phone on and the screen on for the whole day. Brightness 100%. No playing, no calling, no browsing, no texting, etc, just on. I'm at 10% with 7 hrs of up time. Is this considered a normal drain or too much, even for a ROM?

Just activated my new Fido SIM card and it works. Problem is when I go into settings it shows I'm roaming. I bought the phone from Koodo, paid off the tab, unlocked the phone. If I can make calls with the Fido SIM (I just tried and it works), then clearly I've successfully unlocked it. Says roaming though. Called Fido and a rep said it was ok because the phone is originally from Koodo even if unlocked, will show roaming on any network except Koodo (but I don't get charged for roaming). The signal strength says "-85 dBm 13 asu". Under service state it says "in service", under network it says "Can Rogers Wireless" which owns Fido so I guess it's alright, yet under roaming it says "roaming". Just checking if it should be like that.

Thank you.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
You needn't worry as long as you are not charged for roaming. Since the phone was already built for koodo & you have unlocked it, may be that's what is causing it to show like that. All the other stats look normal. Don't worry.

Question about text messaging. The messaging app I use came with CM10.1 and I like it so I'll stick with it. However, when a text comes in I only hear the "beep", there is nothing on my screen until I manually click the lock button. Is there a setting somewhere that will make the screen pop up with the text message (like a push notification) without me having to click the lock screen to wake up the phone?

Hello, I have a few questions

1)I need to replace my badly cracked digitzer, and I've seen videos of how to replace and stuff, but each phone is different, and on the S5830 videos they don't show what I'm looking for.

The problem is the adhesive on the S5830.. does it have one? I mean, some phones come with LOCA, but I saw a seller that told me he sell digitizer with adhesive around the glass, so I guess its not coming with LOCA..so will I need LOCA for the S5830? or S5830 is a phone that does or does not come with LOCA originally? (LOCA=Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive)

2)I can use a white digitizer for a black s5830 right? :laugh:

3) I heard IMEI can be lost when flashing new roms, so could you please link me to a guide that will work with the S5830 on how to backup and restore the IMEI on the S5830?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
I don't know. As far as i know, even in stock, you need to have the application to be able to sync it and I think the same applies in cm10. I am sorry but I am not sure of this

First 2 questions are my knowledge

Your IMEI does not get messed up when you flash a new ROM. There is a only a chance of messing up your IMEI when you play around with the efs partition. I never backed up my imei and I flashed ROMs for about 2 years, never had any problem, the phone still works fine

Ace internal Phone memory full

Hi,

Eventhough I have been using My Ace for 2 years now, I could convince myself to root it only yesterday after stumbling upon this site and forum:good:.Coming to the point, I rooted my ace and flashed CM 7.2 , Gapp etc. I had taken backup of all .apks using App Backup . When i started to restore all apks, all were installing in my phone memory as I dint tweak the settings prior to that. anyways, I used Link2sd to move all possible apps to ext sd card. but my internal memory was filled (164/178 MB):confused:. I uninstalled Gmail app to arrive at 160/178 MB:(.

The applications remaining in my phone memory are:-

1)maps - 6.3 MB

2) play store - 5.8 MB

3)ROM manager - 3.3 MB

4)Superuser - 1.4 MB

5)App lock - 0.5 MB

Which comes to around 17.3 MB . Even if it occupies more space , say 20 MB .. Does the CM 7.2 and kernels occupy 140 MB ???!!!! :confused::confused:I have cleaned my cache and tried few things btw, but it dint workout!

Need Help!!

Did you partition your SD card? Apps only move to your SD card completely if you partition it.

Otherwise, even if you move apps to your SD card, a small portion of the app remains in the system(Native a2sd method)

reboot your phone once..because sometimes though the app is moved from internal memory to sd card..it does not update the memory stats..

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
Its not the ROM that decides if the phone can OC or not.

Which kernel comes included with your ROM? Go to that kernel page and check if it supports OC, otherwise just flash another kernel

And no, using that app will not let you change Max CPU freq. The kernel has to support it

no mobile network after flashing rom, need help finding stock rom

My Samsung Ace model s5830l has no mobile network after I tried flashing it. I want to restore it back to the stock rom it came with but I unfortunately was not careful and didn't back it up. I bought it from newegg.com in the US as an unlocked phone so I am not sure what stock rom to use. I tried to flash to a couple s5830l roms i randomly downloaded on sammobile and obviously that was stupid and didn't work.

Taking a step back, I took a look at the about phone setting and here's what it says:

Version 2.3.4

baseband s5830XWKT7

Kernel 2.6.35.7-PERF-CL366939

SEN.INFRA@SEI-27 #1

Build GINGERBREAD.UBKP7

So here's my question, I noticed that there's a stock rom that has UBKP7 in the end of the CPA and CDC (for carriers in Trinidad and Tobago). Is this the one I need?
