It hasn't been a single day that I got my ace 2 and I went to root my brand new samsung galaxy ace 2, model I8160P

So i followed the instructions here, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27610432&postcount=31

( foolish me ). DUring updating( update.zip ) at the recovery mode, i got something like, install_update (0), seemed liked it failed to update properly. So now my phone seems to be slower than before. i could tell it because i noticed video stuttering while playing that art of flight video the phone came with. and while scrolling in general, it's slow too. But this happens only after i reboot the phone. If its on for some time( i dont know how much then there is no lag. Is it normal? I am a total noob regarding stuff about kernel/rooting/android so go easy on me. I just hope i didn't break my all new phone. It was really stupid of me to hurry up and root it, but i wanted internet sharing on my phone via usb and the app i found required rooting in order to work..

One more thing, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32003238&postcount=593

I didn't look out if my model is P or L. Mine is the 8160P. Is there a way to return the phone to factory defaults with the default kernel it came with? I am really worried guys :(

Here are some info of my phone.

Model: I8160P

Android version: 2.3.6

Baseband version I8160PXXLE6

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I8160XXLD8-CL1100997 se.infra@SEI-28 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXLE6

Any advice is appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbatista:
I was seeking for a solution, then I saw your new thread.

Don't worry, there's always a solution, don't throw it away, ok?

You just need to inject the kernel I8160PXXLE6. Just extract the kernel from this ROM: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/I9AQ5DOI/ or here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31522102&postcount=39

I found another here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I8160P&pcode=0&os=1&type=1

If you don't know how to do it, tell me something. I'll help you, but I don't have a so much time to do it.

If you have it rooted, it will remains rooted after flashing the original kernel too.

Hi. Thanks for your helpful reply. So this is what I found on the last link provided, It seems to be the stock files that come with the phone. Once I open the md5, this is what I get,

What now? :S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvershot:
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The following module did the work

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I8160P&pcode=0&os=1&type=1

Flashed the whole firmware and under 4 minutes my phone is now revived :D

I even have the root application and all the others I downloaded. No more lag or whatsoever. Thanks a bunch mister pfbatista. Cant really express my gratitude to you :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbatista:
I'm glad for it. I'm happy to know that you have solved your problem. I wasn't worried about that, because I was sure that your phone was OK... it only needed to flash the right kernel on it. The kernel has the drivers that the Android system needs in order to command all the hardware. I wasn't sure if I could transmit to you how to do it... sometimes I've got some problems to express myself, I'm glad you make it!

If you need any help, just say so.

Explore the phone, play... abuse him, etc. I'm also a noob on android world, I'm an IT professional but i got the first contact with Android on July, when I bought this phone... I explored it, I made some mistakes and learned how to correct them.

Let me say one tip to you. At least that's something that I've done to mine. Install "Root app delete", or any other similar App. With it you can uninstall all the crap that is installed on the phone... Music Hub, games hub, Whats app, etc... with it you can uninstall any system application (that's one of the advantages of being rooted).

And in a few weeks you will feel, also, the need to "expand" the memory for application installing... when you feel that need you'll remember : "wow that guy told me something about this problem" :) ... there's some tutorials to exchange between the "SD card" and "External SD", but I've tested some of them and I've got one that I prefer, and I think that's the better one.

once again, if you need, say something.

best regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvershot:
It seems the phone is not rooted :/ The supersu app was still there but it says the phone isnt rooted. so I guess I'll need to flash it again with the other FIXED firmware? Btw I could not open the Fixed firmware md5. It says the download was corrupted or something? Is the link ok? Is it the only way to root my phone now that the stock kernel is back?

I have one more question for you. What's with the scrolling on the browser and generally on the phone. Is it a bit buggy and slow sometimes? The video stuttering is now gone but I am still worried :/ Its not like its big lag. you will notice if only if you look for it. I just hope it will be gone with jellybean.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aden1982:
really helped
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbatista:
Wel,, I don't know if that file, the FIXED kernel, is OK, I never tried that one. When I rooted the phone, I made with I8160XXLD8_Ready_to_root, some days after I installed the kernel with OC1000... But I didn't noticed any extra performance, so I installed the original kernel, mine was I8160XXLF1. As Mine original kernel was more recent than the ready_to_root, I assumed that mine was better and faster, and I was right, I felt a better experience using my phone. A few weeks ago, I saw in Samfirmware site a newer one, the i8160XXLH3 and installed this one. Now I must say that this last kernel is a lot recent and makes my phone fly :)

I never lost the root... it continues to work like a charm. The only explanation I found is that I've never flashed the entire Rom, only the kernel.bin.md5

For a better understand about the releases, to know if is newer or older you must see this, the last two digits on the kernel numbering, means, Month and number or release, for example:

A -> January

B -> February

C -> March

D -> April

E -> May

F -> June

G -> July

H -> August

I -> September

... and so on...

If the name of kernel ends on XXLD8 - it's the 8th release from April

If the name of kernel ends on XXLE6 - it's the 6th release from May

If the name of kernel ends on XXLF1 - it's the 1st release from June

If the name of kernel ends on XXLH3 - it's the 3rd release from August

If you didn't know it, now you'll know how to distinguish them, about if is newer or older.

If I was you, I'd try this way, before trying with the FIXED ROM:

Uninstall SuperSU (This is a step that is better to do, in order to certify, after, if it's rooted)

copy to the \Sdcard\ the file update.zip (not to the \sdcard\External_sd\)

Restart in download mode(VolDown + Home + Power), and flash the phone with Odin the kernel I8160XXLD8_Ready_to_root

Restart the phone in recovery mode(VolUp + Home + Power) and install the update.zip. (after it you must restart it manually)

See if "SuperSU" is installed, if it is you can test with "Root Checker"

Now, that the phone is rooted, flash with Odin the Kernel PXXLE6. Only the kernel.bin.md5. Extract from the full ROM and install only that one. (I think the problem that left your phone unrooted is related with installing the full ROM, Probably some files had lost their Permissions to default)

I think your phone will be unrooted and fully functional. If not, you have nothing to fear... you know you can make your phone work right again because you can flash the full ROM anytime you want.

If you need any explanation about any step, tell me anything.

Sorry to take some time to help you, I've got no time on my life... I can take some time to answer, but I'll always say something.

best regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvershot:
So, originally, I did apply the right update on my phone and I thought I flashed it with a wrong kernel? If yes, why was my phone slower than before? Is the LD8 kernel supported by my model? I'm a lil bit confused here. Despite the successful flash the first time, the phone was noticeable slow. What does the country carrier have to do with the model anyway?

According to the photos below, the lag i experienced seems logical since my stock kernel is newer than the LD8 which came out in April. So the XXLF1 and XXLH3, why can't I find them listed on my model and there is only XXLE6 ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbatista:
The i8160XXLD8 isn't completely compatible with your phone, it was made for i8160. It can't enable the NFC function because it hasn't NFC drivers in it. I've searched on the web for firmware to I8160P, and there's only few ROM's images for your phone, maybe because it's an unusual model, for example I haven't seen the I8160P on the market in Portugal, only I8160.

But I've found a newer kernel, on Sampro.pl there's the I8160PBGLG1. You can try it, but install only the kernel, I don't know what happens if you install a full ROM from other country, You can loose the 3G capacity, or even loose the connection to the Mobile operator. I didn't have time to investigate what about CSC files... What I have read about it is that if your phone is locked to any mobile operator, can be some problems if you flash a wrong country firmware.

But if you don't want to use the NFC function, you can always install a newer kernel, for example the same as I installed on my (XXLH3), all the functions in your phone should work well, except the NFC function... If you want to investigate a bit more, you can try to decompile the kernel, put inside it the NFC drivers and then compile it again. I saw in XDA someone who knows how to do it... I don't know how :( but it's possible!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbatista:
Hi Silvershot,

Have you made it? is your phone rooted now? or you gave up?

regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvershot:
Yes I followed your steps and it worked. I just flashed schmid's custom kernel which has cwm recovery too :)

Everything is fine but I think this android OS version is a little bugged. Scrolling in a browser and around the phone is sometimes slow. I think it should be this way since I applied the right files now...

For example the dolphin internet browser is slow while scrolling and does not respond really fast, where one would expect it on a dual core phone...

Do you notice and sroll lag on your phone at all? My flash count is now 4 hehe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbatista:
Hi,

Yes, I feel a little lag, but I have above 100 apps installed. But it is better with this last kernel. I noticed a great diference

I think the lag is an issue of Gingerbread.

With JB it will be faster... We must wait for it to confirm. Samsung is about to release it. :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvershot:
Indeed. I can't wait for JB :)

Hi,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlr8me:
Hi all,

I am curious what other i9000 users think.

I have both cyanogenmod ROM on my galaxy S and HTC HD2.

I tried to repair my galaxy s homebutton but broke screen and now awaiting parts to arrive.

In the meantime I am now using my HTC HD2 with cyanogenmod 7 exactly the same as galaxy s ROM.

Now interestingly, the HTC HD2 is smoother works faster and scrolls better in webpages without glitching,pausing.

Was/is there something wrong with my galaxy s to not be smooth? cause the HD2 in comparison is much smoother less glitchy and works better overall.

Curious what others think?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] killjoy1179:
Are we ever gonna get a full working miui rom for the cdma razr? Theres so many people that want it but all the devs just keep making the same cyanogenmod roms with different themes and are giving the rom a different name...why can't atleast a couple devs team up to finish this rom so that all the people that want it (like me) will just shutup about it? Lol
[HTC Sensation] valefour:
GF is going out of town and needs a stable rom with good battery life. I have fell out of the loop on most roms since I've gone from smartdroid berserk to bruce's cm10 back and forth.

Asking for personal experience on roms and battery life since if she goes out of town with CM10, video chatting is out of the question since front facing camera doesn't work.

Basically looking for: battery life, stability, and working front facing camera for gtalk video chatting.

Any and all suggestions welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time.
[HTC Sensation] readams:
CM9 would be more stable and is still pretty good. It's no jelly bean or anything, but still a huge step up from sense.

Thanks! To be honest, I never tried cm9 other than when it was in its early stages. Is there a specific one I should try? Cyanogens unmodified cm9 or someone's kang?

battery life

Dear I am new to all this S off and rooting and flashing new roms stuff so would like to ask you, why every rom has a bad battery life for first few full battery charges? I just flashed my HTC sensation with revolution HD ICS rom, and the battery life is really awfull :( kindly guide me, what to do
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
it takes couple of complete cycles of battery ...to get the battery properly calibrated and also for the kernel to settle

so atleast after 3-4 complete cycles of battery ( 100-3,4 % and 3,4-100%) the battery life shows up properly
[HTC Sensation] valefour:
Yeah, I know about the first run battery life after flashing a new rom. I'm not new to flashing so I'm gonna full charge, flash, run down battery till phone dies then full charger over night before the flight.

Yeah, bruce's rom is pretty stable but I'm gonna need a working front facing camera to video chat. Don't want to deal with her needing a mirror for the rear camera so she can video chat in a way that we can both see each other. Lol
[HTC Sensation] The.Penguin:
You should go with viper. That is a great rom

Sent from my HTC Sensation

Thanks a lot! Viper is a Ville rom right? Sense 4?

Idk if she'll prefer sense to aosp but I'll let her give it a try and find out.

Being that she's leaving tomorrow, I'll be giving cm9, viper, and an aokp test runs today and see what she decides to take with her. Thanks everyone!
[HTC Sensation] wlteh:
Perhaps you wanna give HyperNonSense a try. It's based on Sense 3.6 but stripped off most of the Sense stuffs to give you the AOSP look and feel. The good thing about this is that the base is stable, smooth and battery friendly. Most of the components will work without problems coz it's based on a stable platform. I've been using this for months without issues and it's rock solid.
[HTC Sensation] valefour:
My gf left already, she took cm9 but I installed HyperNonSense on my phone just to see how it runs, seems pretty fluid but there's only one thing that I noticed, I can't send picture through text(mms). OP mentions "problems with mms - flash this" i went to flash and it booted into aroma with 5 options of mms, do you know of an mms patch to find sending mms? I'm going to test the other mms in the file I downloaded.
[HTC Sensation] wlteh:
I personally don't use the built-in Messaging (SMS/MMS) app. I always stick to GoSMS Pro and I've been using it for more than a year and it hasn't gave me any problems so far. I would normally disable the built-in MMS.apk and then set GoSMS Pro as the default messaging app and everything works well for me. ;)
[HTC Sensation] wildcontigo:
If you really wanted to be trouble free. with everything working and easy to use on a sensation, you should have gone with sense 3.6 rom like elegancia.

Mod Edit: Asking which ROM is best or most stable is not encouraged, have removed this from your question. See my post to follow.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
CM7 is currently the most stable. All your other questions can be found by reading the forum for a few minutes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
If you're not sure yet what you want or you just want to try out a new ROM, I suggest making a boot able SD ROM. That way, you still have your original operating system installed internally. Have a search around the development subforum and if you get stuck, report back here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wellersl:
+1

I keep going back and forth between CM7 and CM10 (cherrypick). But CM10 is horrendous when it comes to battery life.Apparently, the problem is widespread among many devices, too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snooch6923:
I had the same question which was deleted by an administrator....fyi to all those reading such inquiries are verbotten as they encourage trolls. Who knew?

Anyway, I just finished making a CM7 sd card and find it to be running great! Maybe do this, it's pretty easy, Albert Wertz posted a good video on how too do it on another android forum website but I lost the link...it was on another site. Could be on xda but I could not find it there, but admittedly I did not run an advanced search of Albert's posts. You could try looking that way also....sorry I can't be more specific. Check his U Tube videos for it, I think a copy is probably there also. Anyway, once you've done that, making an sdcard for another ROM later should be pretty easy, it's just that I think you have to modify the emmc ROMs for CM9 and/or CM10 to make them SD Card bootable......(see below)

....you know you can load two ROMs on one SD card, google Nook Tablet Dual Boot for Succulent's instructions..a bit more complicated but then you could have any dual boot combo of CM7,CM9, CM10 on one card. The ROM mods necessary to make CM9 and CM10 SD card bootable are in the above mentioned post by Succulent which I found via googling...there may be a link in the development threads for this as well but I didn't find it there myself....you could run an advanced search of Succulent's threads/posts but it comes right up if you google as I suggested. It is a little bit of a daunting process for a person new to this...which is why I stuck with the CM7 SD version.

In deference to the administrator who deleted my thread, DO try to read the development threads on the forum so you know what you are getting yourself into. Also, there is much to be learned there! If you want to use the ROMS, which will have bugs, you can prevent frustration by reading them thoroughly to see what others have encountered and how to fix!

Best of luck.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] EEngineer:
ROM and Internal Memory

Does the amount of internal Flash memory on the NT make a difference when choosing a ROM?

For example, if I want to install CM7 in internal memory, does it make a difference if the NT is 8GB or 16GB?

I plan on putting all my data on the external SD card anyway.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wellersl:
Not with this ROM it won't.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AvRS:
As snooch6923 has said already her thread was removed as best/most stable ROM threads aren't encouraged on the forums as it's too subjective to opinion, you ask 10 people you'll get 10 answers and be just as confused as you were. Fortunately for you this thread was missed when you posted otherwise it would've been removed by me or another mod but as you've asked other questions and had useful feedback I'll leave this here but I've edited your OP and amended the title of the thread to keep away from that subject.

Remember to also always search, read and then post as there's lots of information available as you've been advised.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
Hi.

I'm using Senation ROM 4.1 with Siyah 4.1.5 Kernel.

In some apps the screen jitters when I scroll. When I had MIUI rom I didn't have that issue, but then again, I don't believe it's a ROM issue.

I wonder if it's a known problem and is it fixable? does it have anything to do with touch sensitivity or filtering?

One of the apps is facebook.

Thanks.
