Links for PDroid patch for this GREAT ROM sent to itasoulas! They will be available ASAP in the first post. Meanwhile, you can download it from my signature if you wish!

All credits to svyat (creator of PDroid Patcher) and itasoulas for his perfect ROM!

If you will not reboot at this step:

there is no need to flash Apocalypse Layouts-undo, coz when you flash Apocalypse Layouts-patch and reboot status bar will be in its place.

Should I still flash Apocalypse Layouts-undo?

Why such a convoluted and not an exact guide?

Hello

thank you
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Pseudonym:
Wow dude congrats! Btw in this rom, the latest fire kernel is included right? Do you see some flickering when choosing reboot in the power button? Im experiencing it on miracle v4, but im already downloading this now.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] jyuuken:
got stuck in android screen and did follow the steps let me try it again

successfully booting now :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] itasoulas:
Ok...Achep for some reason suggest in his thread that the patch-undo-patch procedure must be done in order for layouts to be installed correctly. I don't know why but he's the one created the patcher. That seems to be true cause if you try to integrate the patched apps and framework-res into rom prior flashing you will always end up with a bootloop. Strange but that's the way it is.

Also the installation procedure is in 4 steps and must be done in that order. For example, after testing I found out (for some weird reason) that if you first do the layouts installation and then the AE installation, status bar is completely gone. Maybe it's the launcher that causes that problem.

Anyway, hope I answered correctly :p

Going to wait for info abt its battery life !! :-)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] charlessxavier:
hello all,

first of all thanks itasoulas for coming back :)

and i have a small doubt.. why should not the people who have already flashed AE 4.2 b flash the modded version again ? ?

have seen that while flashing AE it deletes the old files.. and it replaces.. so is it not possible to just flash it over again ? do we really need to copy that particular script file and paste it?

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

you can remove it from system/app

and install your new launcher.. automatically launcher pro would become ur default launcher.. i did the same for go launcher

Flashed this yesterday on my brother in law his ace.

Overall good, Did eveything like it should,wipe cache,dalvick cache,factory reset.format:cache/system/data,fix permissions.

Then follow your guide and the patch don't work and he had a battery drain so i wiped batterystats.

reboot,plug in till 100%, used battery calibration but stil he had a minor drain

(7o clock 100%, little usage, 10o clock 84%).

No mobile connection(2g/3g) on , no gps on, No music or camera.

Just texting, check the date/hour, set settings right.

It's the first custom rom on that ace.

Gouvernor smartassv2 max 800mhz min 245mhz and sio i/o.

What could be the prob?

Is it safe that i put autocalibration script from another rom in init.d map?

(The file is uploaded)

Thx in advance

Mine too and while charging it does negative jumps... Like it jumps from 50% to 45%...

But overall battery life is good. Better than miracle v4.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] itasoulas:
to all those with kernel related issues (which are minor in my opinion) give it some time

1. dragonnn will get kernel working better in near future, no doubt about that

2. we need to support new devs/kernel

3. the more roms have his kernel the more the feedback, the best chances for a fully working-bug free kernel

for gps I think flashing lagloose patch does the better job in india.

Yes, I'm amazed with the battery life of this rom. Awesome job itasoulas and dragonn !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] WiCiO_MeDi:
stop using it ;)

use link2sd or s2e.

why do you bother with a script that's not maintained for over a 1,5y?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] mor_1228:
for s2e we don need any scripts ?

i bother for it because link2sd still eats internal memory alot whereas a2sd doesn't eat at all or very very less.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] WiCiO_MeDi:
nope, just install it from market.

like a2sd it just creates a hard link between folders ;)

Oh. Well then, yeah. That's an issue.

EDIT: I just realize I've been having some connection issues with my wifi. It's constantly being really slow for some apparent reason.

Also, what's up with the last 15% of battery? I get the low battery message, I instantly get it again at 5% then it just shuts off at 4%. Dafuq?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] iRoid:
Yes! I get that too! I remember the stock rom gives me about 1+ hour standby on 4%.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
So, so far the only issues are wifi and the last 15%.

itsoulas, we the people demand a fix! >_< or a simple workaround would be fine too.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] iRoid:
Actually, there's two more things I noticed.

1. I noticed if you use phone finder apps like Android Lost or Where's My Droid, you need to have the stock SMS app installed.

Using only GoSMS alone seem to cause problems.

2. At one time, my phone has very low battery. I powered it up and during the boot process it shuts off probably due to having no more battery. Now I plugin the charger then I check my SMS, they're all gone. I've been this before (on stock rom, being cut off during boot) and no major problems. It's only now that my SMS messages are suddenly gone. So be careful with that.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
1. Yeah, I tried using Textplus as default texting app and it wouldn't let me set it so I had to install the normal SMS app then disable it and use textplus.

2. That's why I backup my texts with SMS Backup+. Backs everything up to your Gmail. It really works wonders, you should try it out.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ayush29k:
I think those are kernel related problems, try the firekernel thread for possible fixes or flash the 22/7 version of firekernel.

I am using it and i don't have any of these 2 issues.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
I just took my phone out of my pocket and found the screen off with the back light and soft buttons on. Kept pressing the power button and it didn't turn off or on. Had to reboot.

What would the cause be?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] MarlonKaye:
No mms?

Hello! Does this ROM have mms or not? Original poster's second post says it doesn't (?), but the pictures show that it does. Also the camera app.

Also, does the mms app have the feature to send messages to multiple contacts?

Hey guys, I'm experiencing some random reboots.

The first one was when I was using my phone then plugged it in to charge it and the second one was right now while I was normally using WhatsApp.

Am I the only one?

EDIT: Now they're starting to happen too frequently.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ayush29k:
No buddy, in all of 4 months since i am using this rom, i have had barely 2 or 3 random reboots.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Then wtf is up with mine? Phone just froze and I had to hold the power button. Now it won't boot -__________-

All the progress I made on Jetpack Joyride is now gone. FML.

EDIT: Turns out it's the SD card. It can't mount it even in CWM to restore backups. I always have SD problems on CM roms but never on stock.

Is anyone else using INT2EXT+ on this rom?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Jar3112:
I had a similar problem in the past. Remove and clean the SD card, should work. If it doesn't then format sd-ext partition on your PC and then use advanced restore from cwm to restore sd-ext

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:

Pattern lockscreen

the pattern lock screen in this rom like many other cm7 based roms is not very convenient .. the dots are too bige and too far... has anyone come up with a solution ???
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sauron82:
Advanced restore lets you restore individual components. For example, you make a CWM backup, and flash a zip that modifies system. If it doesn't work, or you don't like it, go to advanced restore, and restore only system, since only that was changed (I tried flashing a new settings.apk a few weeks back and it didn't work, so that's what I did to restore). It can make restore a lot faster, since you don't need to restore things that weren't changed. However, only use advanced restore if you are completely sure that only certain things were modified; if everything got modified, or you're just not sure, it's safer to use regular restore to restore everything. But it's handy if you know you only need to restore 1 or 2 parts, not everything.

Keep in mind that a CWM backup won't backup anything on your FAT32 partition, like any music, pictures or videos on your SD card; those must be backed up to a computer separately.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Yeah, I've been using nandroid backups since I got my phone, basically xD. But that's pretty handy. Thanks for the info. I've had to restore full backups because of little things I did. Now I know.

Weird battery drains

I charged my phone full 100%.

Now I let it standby for about 5 hours and when I used it (quick WIFI for about 3 mins), battery drops to 95 from 100.

Right now my battery has dropped from to 100 to 68 in a matter of 8 hours.

All I did was send/receive about 15 SMS, 2 mins calls, 5 mins WIFI.

Is this normal? BTW my CPU settings are min 122MHz max 480MHz Smartassv2.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Yeah, the battery dropping has been fixed until the last 20%. Run to your charger then because the phone will die in less than 10 minutes.

int2ext+ problems

guys int2ext+ causes problems in this rom...A2sd++ works great...rom is fast and smooth even when using GO Launcher...games are also smooth and apps open up fast...for ppl having above class6 a2sd++ is better i feel in this rom..

thats not bad..after 8 hrs,dropping only 32% is nice,man! why do u complain?:p

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] pradeepjoshua:
Depend on battery condition also

Mine is a 1 month old stock battery

Max:825

Min:320

Governor:Smartassv2

Display on for 4.5hrs

Playing magic wingdom and fruit ninja for 40 mins in total

Wifi 2hrs

Bluetooth 40mins

music 30mins(poweramp)

Gprs 20mins(2g only)

lasts for 13.5hrs max
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sauron82:
Sounds about right. Biggest drains will always be Wifi/3G and display. Also, when you're playing games, your CPU is probably running at or near 825. If you want more life, use SetCPU to set a screen-off profile where the chip is underclocked, for example from 122-122. My phone deep sleeps when the screens off, runs fast when I use it, and I get about 15-16 hours and I'm happy. You're using your phone a little more than me, from your usage description. I'm not using this rom atm, but the rom I'm using has firekernel, and I got about the same life when I was using this rom.

Batteries suck, overall. Only so much you can do.

I will ask you to pull ack on that statement as it's a lie and I completely disagree with it since I have the contrary situation happening to me and this rom and everything working perfectly and in complete harmony.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Don't set it to 122-122. That's bad. The phone will take ages to get something done and will consume more battery. Also when receiving a call, the phone will lag like crazy.

Set it to 122-380.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

Set your min cpu to 245. You use your phone a lot. The Ace's battery isn't meant for long usage time. Only standby. But you still seem to be getting a lot for the usage you make usage so you're more than good.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sauron82:
I've never had a problem, since it ramps up as soon as the screen comes on when it rings. By the time the screen is off again and it's at my ear, I'm done using the system and don't need the speed anymore. I've never had a problem.

int2ext+ causes wifi error guys in apocalypse!!

It causes the same problem in many other cm7 roms...Please suggest me a fix if any one of you know...

And app2sd++ is really good!! atleast for me MAY BE because i use a class10 sdhc.

and i thought setting min to 320 would make the phone respond fast!! I've 75 apps installed already and my phone is still really smooth.Am really satisfied with the performance

Checkout my screenshots for battery life...only problem i have is it drops quickly from 10 to 0
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Like I said before: I don't have any bugs and everything is working more than fine. And the big drop happens because it's a kernel issue.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] pradeepjoshua:
When partitioning sd I chose 1024 MB and swap size as 0...is it alright? ??and I updated firekernel and adrenaline engine....would that cause wifi error??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
1GB is too big. Set it to 512. I have a 256MB partition with over 100+ apps and still plenty space. 1GB is just too much wasted space you could be using to store something else.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
There's something I'm curious about regarding the performance of this rom. It's the RAM consumption. My regularly used apps consume way less ram on this rom than on normal stock.

How is that possible?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] nanox_al:
I've to say that this version is kinda messed up. First of all, I'm gettin' serious random reboots problems. THe RC1 release was awesome, and I've change it 'cause y thought that this was better. Very good looking, but with various issues. Good work, and since you are not gettin' any updates, I'll be back to RC1. =)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
What are you talking about? I haven't gotten any. Luckily everything is working fine. I usually have major issues with CM roms.

Though one annoying thing is the soft buttons at the bottom. Sometimes they turn completely off and sometimes stay completely on and I have to reboot. Like right now, they're just staying completely on even while the screen is off.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] nanox_al:
Yup! all those problems... In this very moment, I'm flashing Final version again. I'll tell here later how it goes! ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh funny. Regarding the random reboots, I just got one. I hung up a call and my phone stayed vibrating and rebooted.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] nanox_al:
See? now, I'm having wifi issues... dunno if it's the rom, but it has started to fail since updated the RC1 to this final version. The wifi issues are, that connecting to my router won't give me any navigation. two days ago was just fine.

Trying again!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Weird. I haven't gotten that one. I flashed this rom after going stock> myth 2> then this one. Don't know if that helps.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] JadeX92:
You have to download your own SMS,Music Player, Pic Gallery and Camera!

Maybe try Handcent, Mort Player/Real Player, QuickPic and 360 Camera. All are free apps.

Oh ok. Its the first time I've had this issue haha! Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
About the random reboots, I've noticed when they happen and I don't think I can find a pattern.

1. Connected my phone to my charger.

2. Hung up a call.

3. Clicked "Messages" on the Facebook page on Opera Mini. (Happened today, 11.13.2012)

And a couple more I can't seem to remember. They're starting to happen more frequently and I can't find the pattern. Seems that they happen when you start something new, is what I can notice. Luckily it hasn't happened in a moment when I REALLY need my phone to make an emergency call or something. Otherwise I'd get pissed and automatically switch to another rom.

What do you guys think the problem/solution could be?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] nanox_al:
Saturday got that problem. I took my phone and was OFF and I really need it to make a call. Dunno why, turned it on, and everything seems to work well.

But, after a few tests, I'll have to change the rom. When i restart the phone, configuration doesn't seems to be saved I've to activate all my syncs again.

Too bad, liked this rom so bad with RC1 release, but I guess it's time to move on.

:(

Too bad
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
Wait, you found your phone off? Flash a stock rom with Odin. Fast. I'd recognize those symptoms anywhere after all the times I've gotten em. Your /data file/folder is getting corrupted. If this carries on, you won't even be able to flash a new rom from CWM because you can't wipe dalvik cache.

You need to flash a 5 package stock rom, then you can switch to the latest single pack if you like and flash anything else afterwards. Don't flash a new rom until you've done this.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ayush29k:
Agreed, its a really great rom but somehow there are weird issues in it.

Nobody has been able to pin point the source of the problem, one thing works great for someone while its causing havoc for another while both have used the same procedure to flash the rom.

I switched to PAC a few days ago only because my play store was not letting me download anything, a variety of different errors everytime, i tried every solution i could find online but still nothing.
