I flashed Virtuous rom , i followed every step but my phone stuck on HTC logo for long time, i reinsert the battery and tried to reinstall rom but facing same issue . i dont understand what i did wrong ....... is there any need of flash kernal saperately.............need help plz
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Have you flashed the correct firmware? Do you have the correct hboot for the rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
More info is always better. Hboot, s-on or s-off? Then we can help you, otherwise we are guessing what your issue is

( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)
[HTC EVO 3D] mangesh hotkar:
i flashed the rom over stock 2.3.4, thats it ... from where i should get correct firmware and proper hboot version.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Are you unlocked ,rooted and again more info, s-on or s-off, hboot ? We need this info

( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)
[HTC EVO 3D] mangesh hotkar:
phone is unlocked and rooted.....
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Ok, now is the rom you are trying to flash gb or ics? Your recovery is 4ext, correct? If it is the 3.6 you need to flash the new firmware which is posted on his op drscription.

( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)
[HTC EVO 3D] mangesh hotkar:
its ics rom, and cwm version is 4.0.1.4(Revolutionary), its not 4ext
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
4ext is prefered as a recovery, but did you flash the new firmware?

[HTC EVO 3D] mangesh hotkar:
no sir, i diden't flash new firmware, i have fllashed the rom directly. .....PG186IMG. is a CDMA firmware version, i have gsm one.............
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Well that is most likely your issue, your firmware needs to be updated, I am also gsm and the new firmware is required on all ics roms. Go to his op and he had a link for the new firmware, download it and flash it, now you will have to pull your sdcard out after the flash and remove the pg file otherwise cwm will find the pg file and try to flash it over and over

( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)
[HTC EVO 3D] mangesh hotkar:
so it means that first i have to update my firmware to PG86IMG, then i can flash the rom .. is it so................

Thanks guys for the above info, my next question is whats the best way to put "update.zip" file on to pnone SD card after downloading on to PC:

Is it best to:

Copy and paste file from PC to SD card with phone attached to PC using USB cable.

or

Move file to SD card using same set up as above.

or

Use a SD card adaptor fitted to PC USB and move or copy file to phone SD card fitted to adaptor.

Sorry for the above silly questions.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkumDX:
Ys its a silly question;)

As long as u r able to move the file....u cn use any f the methods...
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Sorry for last silly questions, this is what I have done so far.

Fitted cable from phone to PC USB

SD files seen ok on pc, moved "update.zip" file from PC to phone SD card and disconnected phone from PC.

Powered up phone using: volume+home+power buttons.

Used volume up/down to select .zip file pressed home to install.

Rebooted phone and checked for "superuser icon" it was there so looks like my phone is rooted.

Downloaded and installed on phone "Link2SD" and it worked ok I could open all options, but still to partition my SD card, thats my next task.

I have downloaded "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v7.6" and installed on my PC ready to partition my SD card I have read a few posts here and other web sites to try and understand what format is best for my Phones SD card.

What is the best format to use: ext2 or ext3 ??

What is the best way to backup/reinstall apps that are on my SD card at the moment ??
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saeed14i:
1. Use ext3 for sd-ext (2nd Partition)

2. Use Titanium Backup for backup & restore system/user apps along with many other useful options as well
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Thanks for that saeed14i

This is where I get a wee bit confused regarding formating you suggested ext3 but when you read the information for link2sd it says to format both partitions as FAT32 they say that ext2/ext3 may not work on all phones but FAT32 works on all, have I read this correctly ?

I downloaded "Titanium app" free edition and installed on my phone it runs fine after install but can you use this app to backup apps thats on the SD card to PC ?

At the moment I can't see an option to do this, have I missed somthing?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saeed14i:
1. Detecting ext3/4 depends on your kernel. But even if you are on stock 5830i firmware & kernel, link2sd will detect sd-ext even if it is ext2 format. If you are on Rafael Kernel, you can format sd-ext on ext3 or ext4. I recommended ext3, coz most people do that, and so far ext3 is reported to perform best without stressing much life out of your SD Card. I haven't ever tried formating sd-ext in fat32 or heard of someone doing that. So can't say if Fat32 is better than the ext file system or the other way around

2. You'll have to manually copy the backup you made in the "sdcard/titaniumbackup" folder in your SD card to Your PC. Whenever you want to restore that backup, simply put it back in same directory in SD card and run titanium restore process
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Thanks for the pointers saeed14i

I have stock kernel, well its never been changed since I purchased the phone, the info on my phone tells me its Kernel version 2.6.35.7 dpl@DELL134 #1. I will use as you sugested ext3.

I will follow yor instructions as regards backup method.

The phone I have has the original SD card (2gb) I have now purchased a new SD card (16gb) so I plan is to start backup of original SD and partition the new SD and start moving apps and hope all goes well.

Will post here as soon as I have completed or for further help, I hope all goes to plan lol.

Thanks again saeed14i
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saeed14i:
You are welcome and good luck with ur plans ... One little correction in your post. As i explained earlier that default kernel will only recognize ext2. so format sd-ext in ext2 format to get it detected in link2sd on default firmware. ext3/ext4 is only detectable in custom kernel
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Must have misunderstood, I shall use ext2 to format sd-ext.

I may not bother just now doing a backup of old 2gb SD card because the apps I have on there I can re-download when I have set up the new card so I may just delete these apps to get them of the system and start fresh, there not important apps anyway.

Sorry but I meant to ask what would be the best sizes for each partition when I format the 16gb SD card ?

Let me know what you think.

1.5 - 2 gb i guess would b enough for sd-ext.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Ooops!! I was too eager :o I made my sd-ext 4gb using minitool, will this cause a problem when I mount sd card and install apps ???
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saeed14i:
No problems except may b eventually low space issue on ur primary partition. Because sd-ext will not ever take 4gb space i guess so extra storage space may be wasted
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Yes saeed14i Understand what your saying but having 10gb or so on first partition will be ok in my situation as I will only be using for pictures etc and I am one of these guys that uploads pics to PC and does a clean up on a regular basis.

So this is how it stands now, Backed up my apps on the old SD card using "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" ready to reinstall on to 2nd partition of new SD card, formated and created partitions on new SD card using "MiniTool Partition Wizard home edition", I then used "Link2sd" to link apps that were on internal storage, reinstalled backed up apps using "Wondershare" they went straight to internal storage but linked to 2nd partition with no problems.

Note/ I did not link any system apps.

Was a bit confused at first when trying to link apps to 2nd partition as when you open an app in Link2sd it shows a window with info of app and some buttons and I thought you had to use the "move to SD card" but I realised you only use the "create link button", silly me.

As I said above I used "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" to do backup and found it worked well I liked the fact that you dont require your USB cable to attach your phone to PC you can use WiFi and that is what I used and it worked great.

Phone Internal storage before starting was 3.5mb free

After doing all of the above my internal storage is now 118mb free (well worth doing)

I will try and post some pictures at a later date once I get them sortd out.

The whole process of rooting, creating 2nd partition, backing up apps and linking apps to 2nd partition has went well, a big thanks to you saeed14i and other members who posted on this thread. I was very aprehensive before I satarted but being on xda has helped a lot.

How to Root Ace s5830m

Hi averyone!!

I've read many posts about how to root the Galaxy Ace S5830i, i own the S5830m but i think it's almost the same model.

We'll, my problem is when i try to root using upd_1.zip (on SD card )

I have done below steps several times:

Rooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6/2.3.7 (Thanks to russian forum-user with nickname may213) (if it doesn't work try D method):

1) Download attached file called upd_1.zip and copy it to your sdcard

2) Turn off your phone

3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON+VOLUME UP BUTTON

4) Select update from sdcard,

5) Select the file upd_1.zip ==> THIS STEP DOESN'T APPEAR

ONLY APPEARS THIS (after step 4) :

Appling muti CSC

Multicsc: src / system / csc / TPA / system /

E: failed to mount / sdcard (no such file or directory)

E: can't mount /sdcard

Install from sdcard complete

I'll very appreciate if somebody can help or advice the reasons.

Tks & Kisses!!! :p

Hi wladige

I did not use Upd-1.zip I used update.zip I am not sure if there is any difference, another member may be able to help with that one.

Is your SD card formatted ok?

(See earlier posts on this thread regarding format)

As I said I used update.zip it can be found plus other zip files at this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552792

I downloaded the zip file to my PC then moved file to my phone SD card then rbooted my phone to recovery mode: volume+home etc and navigated to SD card where the update.zip file was then pressed home to select and install the file (see pic in my other post)

After install you should see an icon in your home window called "superuser" if so your phone is now rooted.

Hope thie above helps.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tobi_jug:
Many thanks for the outline of how to root and partition my GT-s5830i. I have now followed your instructions and all seems to have gone well. However, I have a question. I had originally thought the that new ext2 partition was to 'house' the internal system applications, and that it was this which would free up the internal memory and its restrictions. However, I am now unsure where I am meant to store my apps. Is the 1st primary FAT partition for music, videos and pictures, etc? Am I to store all apps 'internally' and link them to the Ext2 partition? Or am I to save and move non-system apps in the 1st primary partition? I hope this question makes sense! Many thanks again for taking the time to share the process!! :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Glad the rooting of your phone has went well "Tobi_jug"

I am using the 1st FAT partition on SD for all you mentioned above plus documents.

When I install an app I check after downloading, link2sd will tell you where its been installed then link it to ext2, your apps are never linked automaticaly.

Link2sd will not allow you to link system apps if you look at link2sd for each app it will tell you.

I have only linked non-sytem apps that came with the phone using "link2sd" and these are:

alarm clock, dictionary, google play services, google maps, samsung online store, samsung hub, this freed up a fair ammount of internal storage.

Also used "Titanium Backup" to freeze some apps (not system apps) that came with the phone and these are:

talk, thinkfree office, yahoo finance, youtube, I may link these to 2nd partition don't know as yet, Titanium will also tell you if an app is a system app and the discription of the app will be in red so I would say DO NOT TOUCH play safe.

All my other apps that I have downloaded myself are linked to ext2 partition my internal storage is at 101mb plenty of room for any system software updates lol.

Hope the above helps and your questions did make sense, hope my info above made sense lol

Still cant find the list by "shankay", could you post a link, thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Thanks for link "farrukhafzal" very interesting post by "shankay" but after seeing the list and because I am new to all this I think I will realy think hard before deleting stuff and anyway I have plenty of storage space at the moment.

Totaly understand what you said regarding storage.

Since my last post I have been playing around with some app tools that I downloaded and installed.

"GO Launcher EX" a replacement user interface, I think I like it cos you can customise your icons, rename icons and lots more.

"Autokiller Memory Optimiser" Looks good seems to do the job but still getting to grips with settings.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tobi_jug:
Thanks soundacer. That's very helpful. The only problem is that when I first got the phone some weeks back I did something (before rooting) which programmed my phone to automatically save apps to the external SD card. What this has meant now is that if a programme wants to be installed internally it does so (and, as I chose this option in the app, automatically links to the ext2). All other programs get saved automatically to the FAT. If I want it on the internal memory, like AVG theft for example, I have to manually (through Link2SD) move it to internal and then confirm the link to ext2. Not unless there's a strong reason not to save apps on the FAT partition I will probably continue to do so. I don't use widgets so that's not an issue. Doing this just leaves me with plenty of internal space...I don't want to encounter a situation again when I'm full up!!

I've taken on board the information on Titanium Backup - thanks again!!

All best and thanks,

Tobi

a method to increase a bit the internal memory

Hi!

You can delete (for exemple with Titanium Backup) some google apps, like: maps, gmail. When deleted, download from market these apps. After that, these apps will be user apps (not system apps), therefore you can link them to SD. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundacer:
Hi morrisx,

As yet never tried the above, sounds an interesting idea.

Hi Tobi,

I have not came across a situation where apps that you download install straight to the SD FAT wonder what you changed for the phone to do that but suppose there is no problem as long as you have plenty of space on your SD partitions (FAT & ext2)

I have not done a lot on my phone since my last post as I am holding back since I downloaded and installed "GO Launcher EX" times that I have to charge the battery has increased slightly so I am going to try a few things example switch back to samsung UI, GO Launcher gives you this option when powering up the phone.

Hope I don't need to uninstall "GO Launcher" cos I like the things you can do with the UI.

Hi all, since my last post I have been trying a few things using "go power" and "go taskmanager" both came with "go launcher" and now get three days from one charge of the battery so happy at that.

The other day I tried to download an app from google play but just would not download normaly in the past I could download apps via WiFi in seconds with no problems but for some reason now it just would not work.

On investigating problem I found that "Google Play" requires "Google Talk" to be available for downloading apps, mmm "Talk" was one of the apps I froze using "Titanium Backup" mmm

So I proceeded to defrost "Talk" using "Titanium", two hours passed and defrost was still running eventualy gave up after three hours, tried all three buttons at the bottom of my Samsung Phone, home etc, no responce, decided to power my phone down, it powered down ok and powered up ok, checked "Titanium backup" to see if "Talk" was defrosted and to my amazement it was and also could run it with no problems, then I noticed that the app that I was trying to download was now downloaded and installed with no problems.

PS: There is a further Problem with PRISM smartdimmer too (appears after watching full-screen movies).

True.

The display, for me at least, is fine. You have to remember, Asus made this tablet in FOUR MONTHS. There's gonna be problems. I've read dozens

of threads about dead pixels, screen lift, screen ficker, bad replacements, ect. Mine, for example, has screen ficker, but it's not bad I just deal with it. Not everyone feels that way though. Also, Google sold this at a loss.
