- First, regarding the upgrade to ICS 4.0.4 4 (shared.com/zip/UeXHOs6t/Noontec_A9.html), it is NOT necessary to open the device to manage to install the adb driver.

With android in debugging mode when you connect the usb "printer" cable to the PC it will ask for the adb driver.

Get the adb driver from the service page of nontec noontec.com/files/updAteforA9/A9%20software%20update%20guide.zip (it is inside the folder step one_install the driver > ADB_driver_r03-windows)

When you run the RKbatchtool now you should see a pink color in connected device 1. If you press the switch button, it will ask for rockusb driver. Get it from the rockusb_driver folder. After install the color turns blue and you are ready to upgrade to ICS 4.0.4.

- Now it is turn to root ICS 4.0.4

download the adb driver for ICS here mediafire.com/download.php?kmy55fhj9ab2kfe

download the script here multiupload.nl/83WWEZI22K

You get a general script that is NOT necessary to run in full because the adb shell already has root access when in debugging mode;

instead run this simplified "runme.bat" script :

@files\adb wait-for-device
@echo --- DEVICE FOUND
@echo --- remounting /system rw
@files\adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /system"
@echo --- pushing busybox
@files\adb push files\busybox /system/xbin/.
@echo --- correcting ownership
@files\adb shell "chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox"
@echo --- correcting permissions
@files\adb shell "chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox"
@echo --- pushing SU binary
@files\adb push files\su /system/bin/su
@echo --- correcting ownership
@files\adb shell "chown root.shell /system/bin/su"
@echo --- correcting permissions
@files\adb shell "chmod 06755 /system/bin/su"
@echo --- correcting symlinks
@files\adb shell "rm /system/xbin/su"
@files\adb shell "ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"
@echo --- pushing Superuser app
@files\adb push files\Superuser.apk /system/app/.
@echo --- remounting /system ro
@files\adb shell "mount -o remount,ro /system"
@echo --- rebooting
@files\adb reboot
@echo ALL DONE!!!

Thanks. Just used your method and got ICS rooted without opening the box. But the main reason for having this rooted is to have network drives mounted. Has anyone figured out a working cifs.ko configuration?

Noontec A9 ICS Problem

Hi,

many thanks for all your hard work in colating this info. Could you help me please? I have upgraded to ICS on the A9, and whilst it looks good and no doubt offers more scope for usage, it doesn't agree with simple movie watching and You Tube, causiing audio slippage. I have tried to connect again to the pc but try as I might, the PC doesn't want to know. The device is essentially on it's own. Any ideas how to ressurect the old firmware? I have tried the two pin shorting methods to no avail.

Many thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] jmatbastos:
1- Get Rom Toolbox from Google Play Store

2- Run Rom Toolbox > Rebooter > Reboot Bootloader

3 - RKBatchTool and RKAndroidTool will now detect the device and you can flash another firmware

4 - run "step four_ Install Firmware" from

noontec.com/files/updAteforA9/A9%20software%20update%20guide.zip

to get back to Android 2.3

Hello, fellow Ace users!

This is the General Thread for CM9.1 ROM for Galaxy Ace S5830 by Wayland_Ace.

I made this thread with the purpose of keeping the DEV thread clean. And also the old GENERAL thread is kind of outdated.

You can post questions, doubts, bugs, fixes, etc. related to the ROM here. Let's keep the DEV thread clean of spams, questions/bugs already posted, or non-DEV related posts.

Important/Useful Links:

CM9.1 DEV Thread (download ROM from here)

Reported bugs list

CM10/CM9 by Bieltv3 & Daredj

GPS fix patches & app

Kernel for ICS&JB by nims

Q&A Section for CM9-CM10

Proper Q&A Section for S5830 + B/D/L/T ONLY

ROM flashing instructions:

This ROM is for SAMSUNG Galaxy Ace S5830 & some variants only (mine's S5830B), NOT for S5830i. There´s separate development section for S5830i in XDA.

1. Install CWM (ClockWorkMod) Recovery (version 5.0.2.6 recommended) in your Ace. Use search for more info & download.

2. Download the ROM from the DEV thread and copy it to your SD card.

3. Reboot your phone into recovery mode, by pressing Volume Down + Home button when turning the phone on.

4. DO A CWM Backup before anything. Backups and restore> Backup.

5. Do a full wipe (data - cache - dalvik cache in advanced) before flashing the ROM.

6. Now flash the ROM. Install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard> select the file> and flash it.

7. Reboot your phone. It could take like 1~3 minutes when first time flashed the ROM, so have patience.

Done! Enjoy your Ace running on CyanogenMod!!

*Neither the developer nor I'm responsible for any damage, brick, etc. to your phone. Do this at your own risk.

Hi, I want help to test this ROM, I have an S5830L (latinamerican version), I know it has different modem than original S5830, and I don't want to have problems with 3g access, Any advice?. currently I have stock ROM UBKPL 2.3.6 + cf-root 84ex (I will reflash this stock ROM before flash CM9.1)

Regards,

vldesco
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Millenium3:
Hello

I think S5830L should work with no problem like my S5830B (Brazilian Variant).. but DO A CWM BACKUP

To use 3G you should have correct apn settings.

If 3G doesn't work after entering the same apn settings as you had in your before ROM, go to here, find your carrier, and enter those settings.

I have updated my galaxy ace to android 4.04 through cynomodgen9 but after updation i have prob in playing videos and camera too doesnot work properly,Is there any way to get rid off these problems? In this rom there is no Radio,so is there any app that can be install to full the exact replacement of my previous rom Radio
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Millenium3:
All those related to video playback and camera are general bugs present in every ROM for Galaxy Ace

Most high quality videos have poor playback... we have missing OpenMax drivers from Qualcomm..

Camera is much better than before, have patience it will get better in next releases

As for the radio... there isn't a stock Radio app for CyanogenMod and as far as I know, the old method to have working radio (with spirit fm) does not work in newer versions of cm9

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Millenium3:
Yeah i think that's okay to use Peru server

I live in Ecuador and i flashed the Chile V4 GPS patch and it's okay although it takes like a minute to have me below 100m of accuracy then gets more and more accurate

I have used with Peru settings cause it's the closest server but didn't work better than Chile or Brazil patches

what problem with link2sd? is it mounting ok? check if apps r getting linked with dalvik cache linking too..you can convert system apps to user apps by link2sd and then link them...will save some space :)

Hey, using his most recent version RC4.1 and I cannot install DSP manager, can't find the Live Wallpaper Picker app that is compatible with this version, and am wondering how you got the slider icons to look like that?

Oh those screenshots are from previous version (I think it was patched maclaw's RC2 by Wayland)... Do you need DSP manager? Is known for causing audio bugs.

I think live wallpaper picker was removed (maybe due to memory problems?) I don't know much because I just came back from CM10.

Oh for the slider icons, after selecting the app/activity from slider shortcuts settings, touch the launcher icon of that app/activity (before pressing ok) and select System Icons. There they are

This happens when you move dalvik cache and app's data to sd, especially in low class sd ;) Try to use Link2sd: data remains in /data partition and you can choose what dalvik-cache files move to sd (for example for apps that you use very rarely). ;)

With Link2sd you can't move /data/data to sd but only *.apk from /data/app and related /data/dalvik-cache files ;)

RC4.1 slower than RC3

The amount of improvements that have been made in RC4.1 is amazing. But I feel RC4.1 to be a bit laggy than RC3. The fresh installation was good. Then I installed a few apps and now every time I press the menu, it feels like as if my phone was asleep and someone kicked him to get up.

what script do you use for memory?

i think that the best on this rom is link2sd..

who use it, seems to have no problem of lag.. instead, for example, who use int2ext +, seems to have some more problem..

however i'm not sure XD

i use link2sd and the rom is perfect

receiving a message from whatsapp or gtalk breaks deepsleep.

i'm not totally totally sure of this, but i think that it's so.

to control i make so.. i open cpu spy, i see the time of 122mhz and deep sleep. i write them on a paper and than i turn off screen.

than i ask to a my friend to send me a message on one of these two chat. i wait as minimum 5 minutes and than i go to control cpu spy..

doing in this way i've noticed that the time of 122 mhz go up after having received the message

after having read the message if you turn off the screen, deep sleep works.. the problem come up only if you don't read the message just you received that.
