You should try Apocalypse 17-06-12 or 19-06-12. Final is based off of official nightlies, which have problems. 17-06-12 and 19-06-12 are based on vo-1's latest release at the time, and had few/no problems that I remember. Not currently using either of those right now, but when I'm not happy with a rom that I've tried, Apocalypse 19-06-12 is what I got back to.

Also, I've never had a problem flashing the ICS layouts. Just make sure you mount system everytime before you flash.

Mount system

Flash patch

Reboot into system

Reboot into recovery

Mount system

Flash undo

Reboot into system

Reboot into recovery

Mount system

Flash patch final time

Reboot into system

Never had any problems.

what 19.06.12 build? couldnt find any in 1st page...only 17.6.12 build....also for ics layouts,is this complex process required for 9.7.12 build..dont think so..it was for 17.06.12 build..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sauron82:
19-06-12 is in 2nd, 3rd or 4th post. Read carefully, it's there.

For ICS layouts, that is required for any build, even for other roms. It has to do with the patch itself, not the rom, and those instructions come directly from AChep, who made the patch. And it's really not that complex, it only takes about 3 minutes.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
I went back to a backup I had of this rom already. Everything is working perfect again so I'll be using it for a little longer.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] brewy:
IV been using this rom for ages now with the adrenaline engine and IV even clocked my ace and haven't had 1 single problem yet its a good stable rom

Important Information... Please Read Carefully... ThankYou !!!

Hi peeps...

I am a member of Xperience.Cyanogen & I have a rom soon to be released that has been heavily influenced by @Itasoulas's "Apocalypse" rom...

After carefully studying his release build, I believe that I can fix most of the issues that you peeps are experiencing (random re-boots, CM settings not sticking etc)...

Of course I will need the expresed permision of @Itasoulas before I make any changes to his build, but if permission is granted, then I will gladly present you all with a version of his build, performing the way I think he intended it to...

I will PM @Itasoulas tonight requesting his permission... If granted, expect a notification post of said permission & a fixed build will be submitted to @Itasoulas for approval for release...

A lot of effort was made by @Itasoulas in the creation of "Apocalypse" & it is only this very fact that prompts me to offer help... It would be a complete travesty if this rom was to fail because of simple build & coding mistakes...

Thanks for reading this & "APOCALYPSE" will be reborn, Faster, Smoother, & error free...(if permission is granted of course)...

ReaperXL2 aka D4rkSider (Xperience.Cyanogen)...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Hell yeah! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] brewy:
Hmmmm I don't understand mine is awesome not 1 problem yet so how can you improve that :) :) :)

APOCALYPSE GT-S5830
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ReaperXL2:
Hi @Brevvy...

Apocalypse rom is not performing to it's full potential... This is something that I can improve on without a shadow of a doubt...

As I have stated in my previous post, I have identified some areas that I can improve in such a way as to provide performance not yet experienced in a CM rom, Period... UI smoothness that exceeds JB "project butter", massively improved gaming performance, greater system speed & stability to name just a few improvements...

I am glad that the rom has worked out for you, but there are a lot of peeps with problems, problems that I encountered during the development of my "Nitrogen" series & that I have now solved...

Please take a look here for evidence of what I am talking about... : www.facebook.com/pages/Xperiencecyanogen/395619180456847?ref=hl

Your doubts are welcome bro, healthy questions & debate encourage improvement...:highfive:

PM to @Itasoulas has been sent... I now await an answer before I can proceed...

Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...:p

Pe"ACE"...:cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Dat gaming performance. +1

ITASOULAS SAY YES! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Sky_Walker:
Guys wait for his next release he said he might release the final edition of apocalypse rom in December !!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Why? The more rom options we have, the better.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Sky_Walker:
Yea I know that's what I'm saying we need a rom packed with performance !!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ayush29k:
I have been using it since the first build and none of the previous versions were as good as the final version in terms of performance but its just some glitches and tiny issues that makes it pretty difficult for daily use.

It would be very nice of you to further refine this rom, its an absolutely brilliant rom. I hope Itasoulas grants his permissions. :)

Also i have been waiting for you to release your Xperience.Cyanogen on xda for a long time, have seen excellent reviews by the testers on facebook for it, hope to see it soon here. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Sky_Walker:
Bro you can make rom using apocalypse as a base. Just add his name to credits.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] brewy:
Can't wait now then lol since I said I don't have a problem there is 1, IV got and that's the signal when I'm not using wifi there isn't 1 bar of signal on this rom and its searching none stop to find it. I have an other ace same network but still using the factory rom and its at full bar signal so if that's 1 of the problems I'd be over the moon if that gets sorted , it three pay uk by the way :p

APOCALYPSE GT-S5830
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ReaperXL2:
Hi Brewy... firstly, sorry, I mis-spelled your name on my previous reply to you :(

Now, your Carrier signal issue is easily solved... I noticed this issue whilst inspecting the build & code (not even flashed the rom yet), there are also a number of other issues screaming out from the code to be fixed...

As I stated earlier, I have PM'd @Itasoulas & now await his response...

It has been suggested that I release a rom based on "Apocalypse" giving credits to @Itasoulas for the base... This I can do, but I feel it would be completely inappropriate as my release may well draw credit away from @Itasoulas, credit which he rightly deserves...

So, in answer to this question, No I will not release a new build based on "Apocalypse", I will only release a version to @Itasoulas for approval that is a fixed version of his original release...

Thanx to all for the support & suggestions in this matter though...

Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...:highfive:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sauron82:
That works too lol. What would we do without backups?

Sent from my Galaxy Ace
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
Its a great rom, but its always felt like it just wasnt quite finished.. Very close to, but a handful of nagging bugs.

The Kernel with it is unpredicatable. I still dont get the fuss over Firekernel it seems notoriously unpredicatable depending on which version you have and how your phone behaves (i still prefer skynet28's original ace kernel). I have big problems with battery level being reported accurately, and when it suddenly decides to run out of battery, 9 times out of 10 it refuses to mount sdext (using s2e) on reboot. Strangely doing a nandroid backup and then restoring straight off and it reboots with mount of sd ext at the same time.

Wifi is flaky without a patch. Despite hving my wifi set to never turn off, it still turns off when in sleep. well it doesnt turn off, it still shows as on, but with no connection.

And there are lots of other little niggles.

its a shame because it is a great rom, but it just has that nearly, but not quite element about it. Would be great to see one final update.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Guys, can you help with something? Is there a way to change the loading animation, the two blue "comets" with that from Jelly Bean? All I need to know is which files are in charge of that.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
System/media and replace the existing bootanimation.zip with whichever one you want. But has to also be named bootanimation.zip

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

Yeah, hands down it's the best on performance. But for everything else, it's not. I got to the point where my phone just turned off as soon as I turned off the screen and then the SD didn't mount so I had to take it out and put it back in then reboot.

Such a shame :'(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
I was referring to the loading circle animation, not the boot animation.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh that? You can change it with the UOT kitchen.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Viper The Ripper:
I think that he refers to this loading animation or some similar.

SlobodanCG if you want to change the circle style, you need to use UOT kitchen or modify your own framework-res.apk file , but I think this rom bring her own theme, so you have to modify the .apk file that gives the characteristic theme. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Thank you both for your help. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Will there never be an update to fix some of the small issues like the play store search not showing up until you start typing with the keyboard? Or the crashes in some of the settings menus? Minor issues but they make me OCD.

If not is there a similarly good rom that is maintained/lacks issues?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
A similar rom, no. The rest have battery drain issues or performance problems. I've tried most. As for an update, wait for December.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
An update is planned for december? thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] brewy:

APOCALYPSE 17.06.12 -or- APOCALYPSE 09.07.2012? surely the latter? why is the older dated file listed in the install guide?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Because he didn't update it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
awesome, been using the outdated one this whole time. didnt a mod think to fix the link?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ReaperXL2:
!!! Important !!! Un-Official update... Apocalypse !!! Please Read !!!

To get up to speed, please refer to my original post 2 - 3 pages back... Thanx :good:

Now, I have pm'd @Itasoulas regarding fixing Apocalypse, but as of this time, I have had zero response... It appears that Apocalypse is not being maintained & @Itasoulas has not indicated that any fixes are being worked on...

I have decided that in light of this lack of maintenance & communication, that I would not be breaking any rules if I decided to fix & re-release Apocalypse whilst still giving full credit to @Itasoulas for the original base...

A new thread will have to be started of course as I have no way of updating the information on the top page of this thread... Full reference to this original thread will be given of course...

New credits relative to the fixed Apocalypse will be given in the new thread with reference to the credits relating to the original contributors for the original base...

There will be 2 versions of Apocalypse available...

1. Apocalypse Original (Fixed)... This will be essentially the same rom only with my D4rkSider touches & of course fixes...

2. D4rkSide ~ Apocalypse... This will be Apocalypse but featuring my full D4rkSider performance modification package, Internal storage to SD ext4 & Swap (controlled & implemented by the system, not PSN-FireKernel)... Boot Animations changeable on the fly, Boot Audio changeable on the fly, excellent battery consumption given the performance level throughout the rom... You get the idea :highfive:

Full details of my work & current projects can be found here : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Xperiencecyanogen/395619180456847?ref=hl

Apocalypse rom is about to enter the next phase...

Responses to this post are most welcome...

Please stay tuned for release date which should be around 1 week from now... I will start new thread tomorow with reservations for release link, progress (change log notifications), & qestions & answers section...

Thanx for reading this & I hope to have a response from @Itasoulas soon, if only to assure us all that he is fully informed & that this is not an attempt to hi-jack his thread or release, but only to better & finish the great work that he started...

Stay Breezy n Be Lucky... :p

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ReaperXL2:
Bro, 2 questions... Do you have an ext4 partition & do you have a swap partition ??? If no, are you in a position to create them on your SD ???

If your answer is yes to either question, then PM me ok ;)

In fact, if anybody reading this can say yes to the above questions, then PM me with regard to testing ok... ;)

Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...:p

Pe"ACE"...:cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
EXT 4 partition yeah. Swap, no. That destroys the SD faster, otherwise I would've had it a while ago.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] brewy:
I did have it I undone it yesterday with partition wizard tool lol

don't blame me it wrote itself
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
quick question, I had the time displayed in the center of the status bar and now it's on the right after "upgrading" to the real final version of the rom, and it looks ugly this way. i've gone through all the normal + CM menus 4 times now and the option to move the clock alignment is just gone, am I blind or was it removed???

It was like this...time in the center:

now it's on the far right with the battery icon etc and is ugly as hell. help please!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Yeah, it's gone in the final rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
geeeeeeze, why? :(

if that guy who is going to fix the rom up reads this, you know what to do :)

If you read the whole thread, you'd see that was removed after many complaints. Center clock interferes with notifications.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
That Amarullz, does it mean it will be implemented on the rom or what? I personally use INT2EXT+.

Also that OC, that means all our phones will be stable on 900+? Or is that just a possible max frequency?

By the way, what about those random shut downs I was having as soon as I turned off the screen and SD not being able to mount when I was booting? I had to take it out and put it back in so the phone could boot.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Digbijoy:
great job,dude reaperxl2...thanks a lot :good:....status bar disappears after game play..please fix that too..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Jar3112:
Could you release in the end 2 versions of the rom? One with amarullz and one without it.

Just for people who don't use an a2sd script or use another one...

Would be much better!

Sent from my awesome Ace!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ayush29k:
I have used both Amarullz and CronMod Int2ext and i feel int2ext is more stable and reliable, amarullz although a great script at first, but it started causing problems after a couple of weeks for me.

But if you think you have implemented it well then i don't think it matters which script we use as long as it works well.

For SWAP even i don't think its a good idea, CM7 in itself has a pretty good performance and with further mods it should be more than enough.

Plus its a card killer in the long run, so i prefer no swap.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Sky_Walker:
Can someone give me the link of the new unofficial version of the rom plzz !!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ReaperXL2:
Hi SuperAce609...

Duuuuuude... Random shutdowns, SD unmountable ??? Not on my watch matey...

Now 921mhz is the max OC that I have achieved whilst remaining stable (gaming & general use)... That does not mean that everybody will be able to OC to this level... It does however point out just how stable the rom is under pressure...

Issues with the notification & center clock are only there when it is not done correctly... I do it correctly... There is no notification overlap, the notifications do not interfere with the clock or vice versa & all notifications are fully readable with no obscuring of any characters...

With regard to INT2EXT+, I will look at this script with a view to using it if it transpires that it is a more reliable & stable alternative ok :)

To all other posters, I have read all your comments, Thanx... I will do my best for you all, have no doubt about that...

Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...;)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
First, well done on this and taking the rom forward. Its an excellent rom that still has room for development.

However, and its a big however.

Including Amarullz script as default is a bit of a non-starter for me, and will mean I may not install the rom. Like others, i already have a sd-ext manager installed (in my case its s2e)

Theres really no benefit in including Amarullz as default, its easy enough to add as a seperate patch should people wish to. :(

Personally I wouldnt include an sd-ext script leaving people free to choose what they wish to use.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] TheArt.:
Agree.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] zizibuba:

Release a separate patch for amarullz or maybe release 2 versions of rom with and without amarullz.

But a patch is a convenient option.

Thanks for your efforts reaperxl2.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ayush29k:
@ReaperXL2, will you be making it a barebones rom like the final version?

As in will you be adding the basic system apps which Itasoulas left out for the users to add themselves according to their choice or will you be adding some basic apps so that the newbies don't trip over and flood the thread with questions about missing apps.

I would request you add some basic apps so that everyone can use the rom straight out of the box, the people who want to use different apps can still remove and add the apps of their own choice.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] MarlonKaye:
elaborate pls
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
If this is really happening, then I also have a couple of suggestions:

- remove transparency from status bar, it looks cheap;

- change font to Jelly Bean Roboto, it looks super clean and simple and is perfect for this dark-themed ROM;

- change Settings layout to that of ICS/JB, including the icons; original icons from Samsung do not fit at all;

- there are bugs with some apps, like Instagram, when you don't see what you're typing, because the text and background colors are the same;

- add some basic system apps, like file explorer, camera, messaging and such needed for basic functioning of our phones; users can always change those.

That's it, I hope you consider some of my suggestions and thank you for doing this. :)
