Hello,

finally working version of CM11 4.4.4 for Galaxy Ace with working MiniGapps! Thank you :D

By the way, you can install CronMod INT2EXT4 on CWM 6+ withou problems, all you need to do is mount everything in CWM section "mounts and storage" (/system, /data, /cache, /storage/sdcard0, and /sd-ext) before flashing CronMod. I did it and now I have 650MB of internal storage :D

Battery life and Smoothness

Hey guys,

I've shifted to another device like 8 months ago but I still use my Ace for my secondary SIM, I won't be using internet on it, just for calls and music.

How good will the battery life be and how smooth is the ROM ?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] emokid117:
Amazing ROM!

this rom is pretty dam good! runs smoothly and is more stable than the JB roms...the downside is it has a few bugs...esp wifi...I hope a stable release will come out soon with bugs squashed and stuff...none the less great rom! I recommend it to everyone who uses galaxy ACE! :laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
I completely agree. Hopefully, within few more stable builds, it will be as smooth as CM 9 and bug-free :good:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] emokid117:
Where do I report bugs?

I want to report bugs concerning the wifi, and the time and date settings...cuz wifi would randomly disconnect and I can't reconnect till I turn the wifi on/off or restart the phone...and as for date and time settings...well there are occasions where the time would just advance itself by a few hours and won't reset back till a complete restart...

thats all for now! and I really hope that a stable 4.4.4 version will be out soon! cuz dam! this rom is incredible in terms of performance and battery life! 10x better than ICS and JB roms!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nambont12:
Great ROM but battery life's not good :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
Don't worry. Once the next stable build comes out, you can expect an increase in the battery life too ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] prolarbears:
Turn off automatic date & time, and that should fix your clock not working properly.

If your wifi is a little wacky, try finding dhcpcd-run-hooks under 'system/etc/dhcpcd/', then change its permissions to execute user, group, and others. Props to stayboogy from androidforums for this fix; I would post the link, but I'm a lurker without enough posts, so sorry (you can probably google it though)

Great ROM

GREAT ROM! I can't believe it runs kitkat that smooth. Although the lack of internal space restricts to install a few apps.

One simple thing I miss, It doesn't have an FM Radio app.

I tried to install some apps that tunes FM radio but it says I have no FM device.

Do you know what requires to make it work? I mean, another kernel, radio API (not sure if this is even exists) or app?

Many thanks and great work!!!

Missing Keyboard

Hello,

I'm new to the XDA forums and I eventually decided to join so I can ask this question and I love the work you guys do..

I am currently running the latest nightly of CyanogenMod 11 on my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5830.

The nightly is cm-11-20140913-NIGHTLY-cooper.zip found at:

http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/cooper/

Everything has been running very well on the phone except one major issue. The keyboard will not display. According to the settings it should but it just refuses. The last time the keyboard displayed was cm-11-20140628-NIGHTLY-cooper.zip which I got from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2659269

I've used cmupdater ever since I manually installed cm-11-20140628-NIGHTLY-cooper.zip without trouble (once I keep ClockworkMod up to date) but for whatever reason the keyboard now will not show face. I've also tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and factory resets and still no joy.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks for this good how to. I installed RC7 with it a while ago.

But when I want to update it I always get status 0. Updating worked well before RC9. But since than every update aborted. I updated to the newer CWM version (CWM 6.0.4.8 Advanced Edition/PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.40.1) in hope this might solve the problem, but still status 0.

I tested many versions (nighlies/stables) and also tested to download them directly and via cmupdater. Nothing worked

Does anyone know what might cause that problem?:confused:

Thanks in advance

there is one more thing I want to mention. I tried to make a bug report using the developer options, but nothing happens after it said, that it might take a while.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Steve Geemaggio:
Missing Keyboard Still

Hi again everyone,

Thank you all so much for you're swift replies and great help!

Firstly, I have used Android 2.3.6 both stock and CyanogenMod 7 (nightlies and stable) and have had very little trouble. As soon as I heard that some awesome developers made Android 4.4.4 work on a Galaxy GT-S5830!! I just had to try it out! I knew it would be a risk installing it so absolute rom stability isn't too much of a concern for me. If the rom becomes unusable, then it's a concern. The keyboard refusing to pop up on screen when I need to key in something makes it quite unusable.

Secondly, I am now running cm-11.0.0-rc10-gt-s5830 and it's running very well. In fact exactly as the nightlies were running. Very smooth. But unfortunately the keyboard is still not showing face :(

If anyone else has any other suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much anyway for ye're help guys!

Lastly, Hedaja. In order to update to the latest nightlies you will need ClockworkMod 6.0.5.3 for cooper which can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/orig-development/dev-cwm-recovery-upd-20140630-t2799784

I had the same problem myself but this solved my Status 0 issue and now I can update again :)

I'm afraid I don't know about your bug reports issue though.

Missing Keyboard, Maybe Outdated Gapps?

Hi again,

Glad I could help Hedaja. Enjoy the new nightlies! You're not experiencing missing keyboard issues no?

So I have a strange feeling my missing keyboard may have something to do with my Gapps possibly being out of date with the nightlies.

I'm running the lastest gapps from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567979

Would re-flashing gapps possibly help?

Should I use the gapps recommended by this forum? (older version)

Gapps caused problems for me before as I stupidly wiped data to install a nightly. Gapps did not wipe as it's stored in a separate partition so it caused my phone to crash on setup every time. In the end I installed TWRP which gave me the option to easily wipe data as well as wipe the partition containing gapps. Therefore I could reinstall gapps and it worked as normal. (Even the keyboard) But as usual, as soon as I upgraded to the next nightly/stable, the keyboard went missing again.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks in advance!

Steve
