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

A (not so tech-y) friend of mine has a Samsung galaxy ace but is complaining about the speed of the device. I want to help him by installing a custom rom on the device. If been googling different roms but for the life of me i cant figure out which ones are stable and good and wich ones are amateuristic.

I was hoping one of you fine gentlemen could point me in the right direction.

These are the 'requirements'

- Optimized internal storage for installing apps (stock android?)

- As little bloatware as possible (owner only uses whatsapp/browser and facebook etc. He has no need for equilizers and whatnot)

- Fast and smooth (this is most important, android version doenst really matter. Which ever one is fastest)

- Stable/ no bugs. The owner of the device is not tech savvy so i dont want him to have to kill apps and deal with bugs etc.

- preferably built in kernel/overclocking so i dont have to do it myself

Any help will be much appreciated!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] tradivise:
Hi all...

Ive found something a bit wierd about my M2000 and im not sure if it is a normal thing... When im copying "folders" from my PDA to my PC my sycronisation connection is lost before the copying completes, it seems to stop about half way or more near the end...but even though it does get half way,all the files that it had copied so far are not even on the PC...

So i have found the only way i can copy stuff from my PDA to my PC is by copying the "files" and not the whole "folder" as i was trying to do...and even that sometimes doesnt work!!!

Is this right??????

Is it a fault on my PDA or my PC??? and how can i fix this????
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
this isnt meant to happen, try to upgrade to active sync 4, this may solve your problem, as it solves many that people have with there devices, i dont think there is a connection disconnect setting after so long, but you could check that out in both active sync on your pc and pda settings..

i do this a lot and mine never disconnects, only problem i had on the old version, is that sometimes it would disconnect if i didnt use it( or became idle) and it wouldnt reconnect, even if i removed and replaced back in the cradle.

try updating to active sync 4 and post the results...

No no. In the app drawer you have an app called "Dev tools". In that one there is something called "Gtalk service monitor". If you open that one it usually gives you some information. Mine doesn't after latest update so I'm checking if yours does.

hmmm... not on the same rom, I dunno if I left the file in the phone :(

Tried to install beanstalk, same, it does not manage to go pass the Android is Upgrading Starting Apps message box.

I am trying to go back to stock firmware.

EDIT: Even installing Moonrom, changing a lot of thing, back to a stock base rom does not change, I am still stucked at the boot screen, it's like it does not manage to pass through something and is waiting..,.

:(

EDIT2: Going back to a Stock Rom with Odin was the only way to go. Now, Flashing back everything.

Edit3: Installed Slimbean... nope... still bootloop.. :( will have to odin and install all over again.

Edit4: Re-Flashed the rom. After a VERY long boot... I got a call from my boss... so I was busy... I found out the phone working correctly, so now I am painfully resetting everything again... Note for later, move Titanium backups on the External SD...

I flash SlimBean on my phone with Slim's minimal GApps. All was working fine then suddenly my GMail notifications stop working. New emails are still coming in but there is no notifications.

I reflashed my GApps and all's working well again. I am still monitoring but thought that I will just post in and see if anyone has got the same issues.

The issue isn't coming back anymore. Now I am a happy camper on Slimbean!Fast and lite!
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] chinhungchin:
I am using the latest weekly build (1.2) and also have the notification problem. (Clean install, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvin) There are two symptoms:

1. If I do not turn off the NFC, it will have some background process running and gives me audio notifications every 5 mins or so. It took me some time to figure this out.

2. Gmail, Whatsapp, Hangout notifications are sometimes not displaying in the notification bar but audio notifications still sound. I cannot figure out the pattern of this one. And i verified the notification setup on all these apps

Hi prbassplayer,

I confirm that in CM ROM, this mDNIe setting works and does change the colour saturation (as I remember u asked me about this in the 4.2.2 Build 8 thread). Also up to now, in the current version of SlimBean, colour saturation remains the same regardless of the mode selection I've made.

I absolutely love the ROM and excellent battery life. There is, however, just one problem. Maybe it is just me, but I feel the audio is too quiet. I can use a custom kernel to play with audio settings for the speaker and things improve with ringtone loudness etc., but battery life is not as good. In any way, in-call volume is still too quiet.

Does anyone else notice that?

Another solid ROM update. The default browser FC, since Weekly Build 1.4, but I installed Chrome Browser instead. I greatly appreciate the SlimSizer function where I can further slim down the ROM simply because I never use those functions.

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'd actually need to look up the source (will try tonight) but one of 2 things is happening. 1 Kernel led stuff changed a while back and writing "/sys/class/sec/led/led_fade: 1" (which is what device settings utils is doing) does not do what the device settings says (remember CM is killed devices settings and changed up some things). Other possibility is that file no longer exists but doubt this as log doesn't show error for this.

Quite in-call volume

I love this ROM and have no problems with it whatsoever. I hated too quiet in-call volume (typical thing in CM based ROMs).

I could use various kernels or boeffla or trickster mod apps with no luck. I have just nailed it now.

You will need a Root Explorer (personally used Root Browser).

Navigate to "etc/sound" folder and edit "tiny_hw.xml" file.

You will need to find a line <device name="earpiece"> and edit <ctl name="Output Volume" val="xx"/> where "xx" is the setting you want to edit. In my case it was enough to change it to 60 and I don't have to try hard to understand what the person on the other side is saying.
