[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozenreddy:
Hi,

Okay so I have a Galaxy Ace S5830. It was rooted etc with no problems. I was just running the stock ROM (Koodo) that it came with.

Earlier I took a backup with CWM, then I used ODIN to flash a different ROM that I got from a different thread. However this ROM was not working well for me, the network connection kept winking in and out, so I wanted to go back to my stock ROM.

I got the stock firmware from SamFirmware using my model + country. I then used ODIN to flash the stock ROM.

When I boot after doing this, I go into a bootloop between the Koodo splash screen and the glowing SAMSUNG logo.

To hopefully remedy this, I used CWM to restore the backup I had taken previously.

However, when I boot after doing this, there is no loop, the phone simply sits at a screen with a black background that says Samsung GALAXY Ace GT-S5830D in white lettering. I have left it for a substantial amount of time and nothing changes.

I have read some other threads and they all suggest re-flashing stock rom with ODIN which I have done to the same result. So at this point the firmware will not fully boot, whether or not I have restored the backup.

Any help in fixing this will be appreciated! I'm stuck and I don't know what to do at this point, other than try some other firmwares.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozenreddy:
Update:

Thanks to ver3go I was able to get back to stock rom + factory settings. the bootloop issue has been resolved.

HOWEVER,

when I load from the backup I made with CWM, it freezes forever at the black + white samsung galaxy ace screen.

Any solutions would be great. Though it's not a huge issue, it would be nice to not have to re-install all my apps and reconfigure my phone :P

Hello,

I have some questions about the default app OneNotes. Every time that I open the app, it tries to sync. I dont know why it is automatic... And i would like to know if is possible to delete the app or change this configuration.

One more thing, when I open the app, at the first screen, i have 2 "notes". Why SkyDrive created a note ?

I cant delete anything..
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] miodrage:
The app works flawlessly at least to me, and I am using it a lot. Combined with the web app, it is just perfect!

Now, about deleting stuff, u have to wait for sync to be finished, and then just a long press and then delete!
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] xpc21:
Dear friend,

OneNote is a cloud program synced with your SkyDrive account so that you wont never miss a note or a change. This is why everytime you open on your mobile or on your computer, the program keeps syncing.

You cant remove it because its part of the system, its part of office suite. Just dont use it, you dont have to open it for nothing else. You cant configure it either because of it purposes.

Like a said, as the program keeps it data on skydrive, you will automatically have one there and one in your phone, so the one on your skydrive you can change it wherever you are and on your phone is your local one that you can modifiy and sync it.

This program is too easy to use like all cloud system that Office has, i dunno why so much trouble with this. Just dont use it if you are having so difficult. Try Evernote so.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] AG22:
Thank you all, guys.

You guys gave me excellents explanations. I will think about it..

I need to do an RMA for my one x which has a broken power button (does not work on one press) and ATT will send me another one, but is there a root for current ATT firmware?? WIll I have to give up custom roms if I do the swap??

Did you bother spending 2 minutes looking? Your answer is one of the top several posts in General. Or you can look at my Index thread sticky at the top of Development. No offense intended. But seriously, it took more time to type your post, than it would have to just look for the solution.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I

did

answer the question. I directed him to

two different locations

where he could find the root method he was looking for.

And I intentionally did so in a way that was not just spoonfeeding him the info; but would actually have the chance of teaching him how to answer simple questions himself next time (by taking a minute simply browsing through the forums, or checking the Index thread). I didn't just complain (constructive criticism, really)!

Well for now I'll deal with the dialer not being themed. Maybe between you and your teammates you can figure it out and I'm available for testing and logging as always. Perhaps you could just make the cm phone.apk themeable like blackwing did for the camera once upon a time.

Everything smooth and perfect for me... except crt animation

Hello. Thank you so much for this ROM, I really enjoy miui a lot.

I have to tell you that every single thing I use (gps, rotation, call quality, data) has worked perfect from the first reboot.

BUT.. There is something weird on the crt off animation when you put the phone to sleep, sometimes it happens and sometimes not. I've messed around with the animations speed but it doesn't seem to make it better.

Any suggestions? :D

I also get that. CRT animation just stopped working all of a sudden. Also Chinese language support isn't working. When I set it, I constantly get phone force close issues.

Swype saves your personal dictionary to a online account and makes it very easy to utilize this across multiple devices (especially useful if you're a seasoned flashaholic) As a beta tester, I also get access to cool mindless features like "live dictionary" and themes and such

gapps contacts fail

I am in love with this ROM!

Only issue I have is with gapps.

I did a full factory reset in cwm, installed ROM, booted, then installed gapps. Turns out I installed the wrong gapps..... My bad. I grabbed the right one, and cleaned it after a cache wipe. Booted and got gapps fc while syncing my contacts. Is only contacts, and it grabs 60 contacts before crashing. Any suggestions?

Ok, so to solve my gapps crashing issue, I actually had to go into my contacts on the PC / Web interface, and export them all / delete all contacts. Then I was OK. Manually adding the contacts so far is working, so I have to assume there was a botched field or data somewhere that was somehow rejected by the ROM. Now to find a way to make NFC work ;)

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

I'd love to get NFC working - I have the 989D up here in Canada. This became my favorite ROM, and would be thrilled to have the beaming capabilities that NFC gets me. I tried to drop the NFC.apk from cm10.1 and from an AOKP rom I had, but they both give me a parse error. I pulled one from JellyBeast v2.666 and it attempted to install, but failed with no errors (after at least asking if I wanted to install it...)

I then put the version from JellyBeast into /system/app and set permissions, then rebooted. Major FC's at that point. I managed to get it to sent to MIUI, but I'll post a reply to this with the transcription of the log that I could get on the screen....

What else can I do to help get this working?

Well, that was a botched reply - somehow I quoted myself from an earlier post - not related to NFC. The gapps was a bizarre data corruption issue that only seemed to relate to this ROM. The NFC is just an unimplemented feature I would love to help the devel get working. :) Sorry for any confusion.

This actually is a real fix its just not a pretty one. That apk has sound suppression built in as well as support for the dual microphones on the s2. Hopefully the changes can be merged with the miui phone so theming is not broken in the dialer. Not to mention no vibration on calls.
