[Galaxy Ace II General] Edray:
there are any custom JB rom for i8160p which works good? i've got i8160 and i8160p, with the same custom rom (Vanilla Rootbox) and works totally different in both mobile phones. In "p" version (i copied the tee folder for make it works), sometimes lose data and signal, poor battery life etc. however in "non p" version is really nice. What do you think about that? Could be the NFC support which is deactivated (or not found) on "non p" Roms, the reason of poor battery life?
[Galaxy Ace II General] str3tch72:
When JellyBAM RC1 will be available, just add a post :)
[Galaxy Ace II General] tofueatsbread:

[Galaxy Ace II General] tofueatsbread:

[Galaxy Ace II General] tomgv:
Not working, I tried now and lock screen wallpaper its default like home screen
[Galaxy Ace II General] Angelkmbll:
When the screen turn off I loose my wifi/3f conection.

[Galaxy Ace II General] str3tch72:
Thanks in advice, that's the reason why I'm staying on CM10.1 + Xposed.

You are probably using some battery saving programm that turns it off...

Btw. I set refresh interval to 3 minutes to save battery..

And connection for me working. Clean install from JellyBAM.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Angelkmbll:
So, what should I do?
[Galaxy Ace II General] str3tch72:
F.e. in TwinTurbo You have some battery saving mods :)
[Galaxy Ace II General] Angelkmbll:
But I don't want to save battery, I just want my phone works xD

I'm gonna flash the stock rom, and then I'll wait till the new cm 10.1 update

But I don't have any battery app, perhaps, I have installed Task Manager, that would be the problem?
[Galaxy Ace II General] str3tch72:
Sorry, my bad xD
[Galaxy Ace II General] Angelkmbll:
I feel a bit stupid right now haha

what I should do?

Tee folder - original

I cannot register on network, but did not backup my original Tee folder. Can anybody supply a copy for I8160 android 4.1.2 ? Current baseband is I8160XXMK2
[Galaxy Ace II General] the.unknown:
I had this one, guy in the store declared my phone total loss...

SOLUTION:

Remove Micro-SD card.

Dont re-insert.

If you had apps on it then you need to dowbload those apps again fron the playstore, dobt renove the apps that are on the SD because it will save the data.

it says status 6

or can i downgrade to official JB from samsung via odin ?
[Galaxy Ace II General] tofueatsbread:
Did you delete from notepad++(pc) or phone? Its easier to see from notepad++, just delete first 3 lines. Status 6 is you forgot to delete a punctuation i think. If all doesnt work, flash stock jb and reflash your desired rom...

XXMC8 Kernel

Hi does anyone have bin,md5 or img file for kernel xxmc8, i read that by flashing this kernel will change my 550 ram to 600+ ram (cant remember exact) but i cant find it anywhere, if i get the file i will be doing this via "universal kernel flasher" which says i need the (bin/md5/img), im guessing thats 3 diffrent file types i can use (plz correct me if im wrong). Also i read that i need this kernel to flash "the italian job" rom which was my initial goal but i realy want both kernel & rom.

what rom

im new here and begging for help.. i successfully rooted my phone luckily (not so expertly - i just followed the instructions without knowing what are cwm, odin and etc.). Actually i rooted my phone when it was in GB using THOSE. Then when it connected to kies, it upgraded its firmware and went to JB but the root's gone. I rooted it again without using CWM and ODIN. And now i wish to get a custom rom. problem is i dont know if im using a custom rom or stock?

here's what in my "about device"

Baseband version: I8160XXMF2

Hey guyyyss, I'm begging for help. I'm currently using CM11 TeamCanjica Build11 on my device. It worked fine for 2 weeks, but suddenly yesterday when I want to turn it on, it wont start, its stucked at CM11 Logo, I tried to go on Recovery Mode (CWM), but it said like this :

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I've tried re-flashing the STOCKROM (after wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik), the ODIN process is successed, but still it cant start, i even tried to flash STOCKROM MB4 (with PIT and CSC files too), and even tried to flash it BACK to GB, but it still stuck on CM11 logo (how could it be still CM11 logo since i've flash it many times with stockrom, i thought it should be samsung logo.)

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Even Samsung Service Centre said that they cant fix this up, heeeelp :'(

Hey guys, i formated modemfs and i have no signal/no service. i have visible imei but modem is xxxx. pls help :(
[Galaxy Ace II General] judas1977:
Search before asking. There is topic about similar cases (great idea to format that partition, BTW)

-----

I want to ask you one thing, guys...

I was searching for ultimate rom for our phone and (accidentally) i found topic about SlimSaber (for galaxy s II). Author made android 4.3 version lately, calling it SlimSaber Reborn... (compiled with o3 flags, some optimalisations and backports from kitkat)

The ROM gathered good reviews (some claimed it best ROM for SII, which is SOMETHING actually). So i tried to port it for our phone...

I prepared environment (there are some good tutorials) and started to THINK:). After some failures - i compiled working build finally...

But there was major issue - systemUI (i think) crashes (silently, without FC, but statusbar dissapears) after receiving notification...

Strange thing - it crashes when i receive text message, but not when sms app is opened and active (so it is connected to statusbar notification)

I think we had similar issue in the past (but not that frequent)...

Next time i tried to compile SaberMod Reborn (after Rox updated 4.3 sources) - it is not booting anymore :(...

I have one supposition, but... don't know if there is point to continue that project...

Is there anyone interested in slimbean 4.3 modified ROM YET???

[Galaxy Ace II General] fluffi444:
This is really sad!!! There is no "normal" way left that you could fix that...

There is still one way that could work... The same way as to bring back 8160P if flashed to an full 8160 (without P)

But is highly dangerous and could brick your Phone!

With this way we save important partitions (CSPSA FS, Modem FS, EFS), write (via DD command) an DUMP of an EUR 8160 (hard to find in the net but I have one for 8160), and write back your CSPSA FS, Modem FS, EFS.... After that flash again Full 3-Parted FW...

You need CWM for that... Your are on I8160ZCUBMC4.. this is JB and Temp CWM works... You wrote that CWM is working for you...

If you want to try this ... call.... And I prepare an CWM Flashable File... You need an working external SD Card which is accessible from CWM Rec.

BUT: Don't blame me if your phone is bricked after that..

Maybe you try this before - this I8160XXMB4 is an very first version on JB - which is also an complete FW

hi

plz help me:confused:

i have gt-i8160p and 4.1.2 android. i want to change menu language to persian (farsi) but i can't.

i tried many way: 1 .DEL language.xml on CSC folder

2. DEL CSC folder

3.install morelocal and language enabler

but no result:crying:

any body can help me another way??
[Galaxy Ace II General] LS.xD:
Language is stored in settings.apk + framework-res.apk (they contain .xml files for the languages).
[Galaxy Ace II General] nioton86:
i don't understand you plz give me more detail .

where is settings.apk + framework-res.apk ?
[Galaxy Ace II General] LS.xD:
Both apk files are system apps, (/system/app). To add more languages you have to decompile them, add languages in .xml format, recompile them.
[Galaxy Ace II General] nioton86:
1. i can't find them but i find secsetting.apk

2. how can i decompile apk file?

3. how can i add language.xml to apk?
[Galaxy Ace II General] LS.xD:
secsettings.apk is the the setings.apk.

framework-res.apk is located /system/framework

A good tool for you should be APK Studio

i CAN'T provide you a step-by-step guide. Please make your own research. Use your brain + google...

[Galaxy Ace II General] beardedpanda:
Try restart your phone 3 or 4 times. If that didn't work perform Wipe data/Factory reset, foemat cache from Recovery menu then set APN points manualy.

If none will be working try to download another stock firmware for your region. I recommend using Samfirm from XDA for this.

GT-I8160 can't access Play Store

Hi,

for two factor verification, I always carry a second, older phone with me.

When my Galaxy S2 was physically destroyed, I remembered an old Gingerbread Ace 2 I still had lying around somewhere.

Years ago I got it on a data plan where I rented it, then would give it back.

When it was in use , I had rooted it; when I thought I would have to give it back, I unrooted, got rid of the triangle - and was told the provider didn't want it back, after all.

Now, I unearthed it, put in a SIM, and have a useable phone again.

BUT I decided to install a few apps that should work on it - and was told "wrong Password" by the Play store.

I tried everything I could think of (including typing the password into the Messaging app, then copy/pasting it into the login field, and briefly changing my password through my "daily driver" to 0987654321234567890).

No success "wrong password".

Has anyone any idea what the possible reason might be, and maybe even a solution?

I have just rooted the phone again (after seeing there are actually JB ROMs for this old dear), and everything works, except the Google login.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT:

Problem solved though not explained: for some inscrutable reason the Ace2 with that ROM could only enter 15 character passwords into the Google login - mine were longer; This problem no longer exists.
