Hi sorry for not replying in time. I've been working hard these days.

I don't think that our device has enough space for the mini package, I usually use the pico or aroma ones. You can download them at www.opengapps.org as shaqman89 said.

Make sure your device memory is repartitioned (almost compulsory when installing modern gapps on any rom newer than kitkat)

Bakup any important data.

Perform via recovery a full wipe of cache, davilk/art, system, data, and sdcard0 (this last one not necessary).

Flash the rom and then without rebooting the recovery flash the opengapps zip (aroma in case you want to try the different keyboard)

Reboot and wait for a dozen of minutes.

At the first boot, Before installing any app, make sure you have switched the mount points of sdcard0 and sdcard1 (don't remember if that setting is integrated in the settings app or in the kernel one)

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

shaqman89 means if you could post the output of that command from an adb shell.

I think this is the right tutorial to install it https://www.google.it/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/amp/.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kinetix2:
Hi.

Thank you, knosso, for hints.

I did a full wipe, and rebooted.

Then, re-installed UltimateRom, and flashed a HDPI_miniGAPPS-5.1.1-20160822 zip file that has only about 48MB. I don't understand why you suggested me to flash the aroma package that is much larger and has 931MB or so.

Anyway, the operations were successfully done and the phone rebooted.

The first Welcome screen appeared, where I chose the language, then the second screen was about connecting to a WIFI network. The keyboard popped up and I could input the password for my wifi. The phone connected with the router successfully.

But then a problem occurred.

The next screen said "Insert a SIM card". I don't want to do that right now, so I touched the SKIP button. Nothing happens no matter how many times I hit that button. It doesn't go any further. I can go back though at the first screen and change the language, but this is not the goal, and does not bring any change in phone's behavior.

So the keyboard problem is solved, but the phone is unusable now...

Also, I don't know what you mean by switching the mounting points of sdcard0 and sdcard1. What must I do, and what are the steps involved?

When I boot into twrp recovery and connect with usb cable, Windows7 shows two partitions: SDcard (9.63MB of 9.66MB free) and MicroSDCard (which is the external sdcard). I cannot enter the OS to show me the 3GB partition, but I assume it is there, cause it was previously.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] knosso:
Aroma is a graphical modular installer, so basically only things that you select are installed and that's why I suggested it to you. You could select the keyboard and leave everything else unchecked. Since you don't have anymore the keyboard problem you don't need it anymore.

For what concern the sim problem I installed the rom with an inserted sim so cannot help. I don't use it with the sim but I insert it on the first boot to make sure everything works.

To switch the mount points finish the initial setup then open the kernel app (it is preinstalled) - - > Advanced - - > put the tick in Swap Storages.

If you don't have the Kernel app then it is integrated in the system settings and you should look for a similar path in the settings app.

i havent been lucky installing gapps on marshmallow roms. is the standard opengapps pico package the recommended flash here?

currently using chronokernel 5.10 and CWM_ReParted_SY900_CA130_DA2750_SD0_20

successfully installed opengapps pico, it seems weird how it doesnt work well (keeps crashing, overall unusable) on sergeyls cm13. both ram usages are similar.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] TheFortex:
Do I have to download the latest kernel?

And can I install it using cwm?

Sorry I'm new to this

I'm being extra protective because I don't have access to a PC these days since mine is broken and I can't fix it now so if I install the kernel incorrectly (will be my first time to install it) I don't think I'll be able to recover so if I don't need it then I'm glad but if I do then can you tell me if there is anything I should know before I flash it

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fonzacus:
@ up

there are many steps involved to installing a higher OS. id suggest sticking with a2n cm11 build to be safe.

(im on my phone right now so i cant be that helpful with finding links)

if you really want ultimaterom

1 using cwm id suggest repartitioning the internal storages

2 install chrono kernel

3 this rom

4 maybe gapps

i havent used an mm rom for a while so im not that sure, but from my experience i havent been lucky with gapps.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] TheFortex:
---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

I have no clue what a2n cm11 is so I would appreciate some clarification because I am truly new to this I almost have no clue what to do also I tried to flash the ROM on cwm and it gave me an error that says something like: "target not found" then I tried to flash the kernel and it said "this kernel is for gt-i8610\n\l yours is ""..." The quotes were empty

Note: I wiped data then instantly tried flashing them (I had a backup)

When it didn't work I tried to restart recovery but it restarted the system so I used the 3 buttons to re-enter recovery

I tried to flash the custom ROM and I think it was in a certain step but I thought the recovery was frozen because nothing was happening for like 2 minutes so I used the three buttons again to re-enter recovery and then I flashed the kernel.

It flashed successfully so I restarted the recovery to use the built in twrp recovery that comes with the kernel and tried to install the ROM

It did the same but I pretty much had nothing else to do so I left it for a while.

When I came back it was finished so I realised I shouldn't have canceled it on the second attempt then I tried to flash the gapps and it as usual gave an error because there is not enough space so I tried to reboot system and it was stuck in the boot image for like 30 minutes I tried my best to give it time as I know first boot should take time however I ran out of patience and rebooted it and it successfully opened however there were a lot of bugs.

The task bar would scroll out of the screen (the right half is on the left side of my screen and the left half is completely out of screen

The power menu only had power off (no airplane mode no mobile data not restart just the power off which is pretty unusual to me)

When I try to download something from the internet app it crashes for no obvious reason (I tried multiple things)

And many more but I just can't recall everything

I don't know if those bugs are from the ROM or from my obviously retarded steps in installing it so I recovered from my backup and here I am...

I don't really want ultimate ROM I just want a 6.0.1 ROM if you can suggest one then please do and I would appreciate a link

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fonzacus:
you saved yourself from a soft bricking by the looks of your story.

here is what i meant by a2n cm11. without a pc, this is definitely the safest route.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/kernel-ace2nutzer-kernel-20141027-t2920365

all that is required is for you to have cwm as your recovery.

as for mm roms id suggest holding it off til you get a pc ready since it can get a bit hectic IMHO. i havent tried mm roms for a while now so i hope someone does chime in soon.

1 make sure you backed up everything you want to save, as this reformats everything, including the system

2 repartition with cwm the attached file (its normal for the recovery to panic)

3 flash chrono kernel https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/custom-kernel-t2793420

4 flash rom using twrp in chrono kernel (maybe gapps, but make a backup first as newer gapps are buggy)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] balupersli:
I can't install this rom, anyone can help me? i make the following steps:

-Installed via Odin stock 4.1.2

-Installed temp CWM

-Flashed reparted zip (the one that don't need to switch storage)

-Formatted /system, /cache from cwm (i don't know why i can't format /data)

-Installed chrono Kernel 5.6.1

-Restarted in recovery

-wiped system, cache

-Installed rom but the result is 0.2 code.... and if i reboot the phone bootloop in galaxy ace 2 logo....
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Before install reparted zip, install A2N kernel here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/kernel-ace2nutzer-kernel-20141027-t2920365 (any version is ok)

Then do a reboot to recovery and you can flash reparted zip ok...

Don't do format directly here, as you can't format it properly because recovery doesn't recognise your new filesystem info in the reparted zip until it's rebooted.

So you have to do a reboot recovery. Do not panic if you see tons of error... it's normal.

After that you can continue on your step. (Formatting and other stuff)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] balupersli:
I've done everything but the result is ever the same 0.2 code after the installation of the rom and the phon in bootloop on galaxy ace II logo....

This is the only rom that i can't install i don't know why...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Actually this is the first time I see this issue.

Now I have unplugged - plugged PC microUSB wire and external sdcard is back again with no issues .

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Other question.

I've seen a YouTube video about solving ERROR CODE 70 with Resize File System option of TWRP 3.0.0.0.

Is that a real option or it will ruin the phone?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
I never tested this. I would take a closer look at the code of this option before doing that, if at all.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Thanks for the answer.

I'm trying +700Mb system repartition with adb to be able to install this ROM with SergeyL's GApps... But I'm stuck.

Now I have Vanir with Ace2Nutzer kernel, and when I write "su" on adb, I get "su: not found" message.

I've flashed some different Chainfire zips and installed SuperSU app, but nothing...

I'm probably missing something easy, but I don't know what...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
I have ever forgotten that there are flashable zip's with a larger than 600 Mb amount of space on /system - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58395760&postcount=55 . About root lost - have never seen something like that before. Possibly it's an incompatible ramdisk.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I've never flashed CWM reparted zip before. Always did with adb.

Anything to have in consideration?

Phone is stuck on Vanir's logo.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shadow252:
Is that mean this ROM have updated ramdisk?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I've never flashed CWM reparted zip before. Anything to have in consideration?

Phone is stuck on Vanir's logo.

EDIT: I re-formatted System, Data, Cache... and restored again ROM and it works.

Now I'm trying AOSP MM with CM13's Vold file.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Yes, it's no longer outdated.

Have you formatted /preload and /sdcard ? It's actually a shame, but since a long time have passed, a CWM reparted zip is still not carrying out doing that automatically. This is because I seldom do a repartition, so the algorithm of that script is still mostly unchanged from the time of creation that topic...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Yes, I formatted them... 1st time and 2nd...

Now it's fine and flashing ROM... and then GApss... Let's see...

UPDATE:

Flashed last build of ROM with CM13's vold file + SergeyL's GApps

I cannot access to settings bar.

Now SYSTEM after repartition has 808 Mb and 139 Mb free.

Phone is very laggy. It's stuck all the time.

I can see SDCard0 (real external sd) on PC and working correctly for now.

....

After 15 minutes it's not laggy. Now it's pretty much better.

I can't enable developer's options.

....

Now flashed Xposed-v80-sdk23-arm.zip and phone got stuck on MM boot animation.

....

Returned to Vanir, I need my phone fully operative. :D

I have modified your CWM zip and now I have this:

SYSTEM= 820000

CACHEFS= 140020

DATAFS= 2892739

UMS= 172

HIDDEN= 100

With swap memories I don't need UMS at all, so I left minimum required, 172 Kb.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
do we need so much cachefs for MM or LP?

thanks
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I have modified CWM reparted zip and finally I have this:

SYSTEM= 750000

CACHEFS= 30020

DATAFS= 3062739

UMS= 10172

HIDDEN= 100

I've tested it only with Vanir and it's ok. I think with AOSP ULTIMATE should run properly...

Chrono, 30Mb of CACHEFS is enough or is it needed more space?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
In the fact, cache partition is not needed at all, at least on these builds of UltimateROM. As you might have noticed, this partition even is not mounted (folder /data/cache is mounted to /cache, instead). It's a prepartion for the further using /cache as recovery partition, since TWRP 3.0.0-0 is hardly fitting the space of boot.img partition, at least when kernel is compiled as an integrated part of a ROM.

What bar do you mean?

Something that I wasn't experiencing so far.

Anyone else is having this problem?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Here's the zip I've flashed.

View attachment 3691366

If someone wants more internal sd space, I can make other zip adding UMS memory.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Quick settings bar. Settings icons don't appear.

I flashed all at once... 2nd build of ROM with CM13's vold file + SergeyL's Gapps... so I can't say what could be the cause of the issues.

I needed to flash Vanir again, so I hadn't the time to do things step by step...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
That's weird. Anyway, I'll need to personally test the installation starting from repartition by any of the provided in CWM ReParted topic repartition schemes.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I'm gonna flash only ROM this time with CM13's vold and I'll tell you how is it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Btw, I don't see any particular difference when using vold from CM13, so I guess this step is unneeded.

Somehow, MTP is still bugged, as folders are doubled on SDCard(and also there are two sdcards, both of which are external). Are you also was experiencing this? I guess I need to compare my fstab with CM13 one.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Yes. And with CM 13 it's also normal seeing doubled external sdcard.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Well, I have reparted memories as detailed before, I've installed ROM without GApps...

No issues with quick settings bar

Devs options are enabled

Swipe keyboard isn't working

Web Browser FCs when trying to download a file
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
With open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160320 ROM seems to work right.

SergeryL's GApps weren't working good with this ROM.

1.When an alarm clock rang up,then display "Unforternately,the clock ...stopped",after click "OK",the alarm clock stopped,but it still display likes it hasn't stop(still let us choose dismiss or pause)

2.After turning on Setting-Display-Recent Apps-Clean all Button,in recent panel,if you press this "Clean All" button,and it said "System UI ... stopped" and nothing change(original one work fine)

[MENTION=235339]chrono[/MENTION]

what do you mean with that:

"Formatting SDcard as adoptable storage will screw it up (don't format / encrypt)"

and do you believe that htis rom is good enough for daily use?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
On the first time you are installing this ROM, you will be prompted about how to use external sdcard. Just don't select an option that requires formatting of sdcard.

Well, apart of FCs in some places that were reported here, the bug with wifi and bugged 2G/3G switch I don't see any major problems here. The only thing that is mostly untested by me is how multitasking is performing here since I don't use that many of apps that most of users use.

i rememder past times when i had less than 100MB internal sd space, i had problem with some apps from play store, is that happen to you

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Have to admit, I have planned a lot much things for the next release than I currently have time for, lol :)

I was originally planning implementing some features from another ROMs, but due to some circumstates I'm stuck on the obtaining an opensource libs and binaries doing some kinds of reverse engeneering - because I'm rather interested on doing something with low-level stuff than a high-level, so this is why firstly planned changes came to the background. I don't say that high-level changes aren't interested for me at all, but it still has to be a "someday" when I'll return to them and finally release a new build.

Is this rom compatible with the galaxy ace 2 GT-I8160P variant? the only difference between this one and the original is that this one has nfc, I don't really care if nfc works as I dont use it, but I would love to try out marshmallow on my ace 2...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I can confirm this rom works on a 8160P model. But I had to flash 8160P support zip. for Sim card.

I personally llike it more than CM13, as it's a lighter ROM and a bit smoother.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I just have installed this 6.0.1 AOSP on a 8160P.

Using Ace2Nutzer's kernel I had no incompatibility problems.

Ace2Nutzer has a zip for supporting 8160P model's sim card: http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/CM11/codinap/

I flashed ROM and after that, 8160P support zip.

I have flashed other zip I had long time ago: View attachment I8160P_support.zip. But both of them are valid.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
The older Zip Package has no NFC Files .. so only Sim-Card will work ... so better to use mine .... ;)

btw: right now checked if NFC is activated in latest Chrono Kernel ... it's at least available as module ...

it should be: nfc_pn544.ko or smthg like that ! - So don't forget to load that module if NFC will not work !

If it'll still not work, then it should be compiled built-in.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Now I have Vanir with ChronoKernel.

But I don't see NFC anyway as a feature or an option.

what ROM did you come from? is all this compatible coming from stock jb??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I was on ChronoMonochrome's Vanir 4.4.4 with Ace2Nutzer's kernel.

To install Vanir you need flashing CWM 6.0.2.8 to install, for example, Chronokernel r2.24.5 -that's what I always use for these cases- and finally flash the ROM.

Then, you can install Ace2Nutzer's kernel.

If you want to install AOSP 6.0.1 from Stock Jelly Bean, you can try -I haven't tested this way-, but following word by word all steps Ace2Nutzer has already explained on the other thread.

I really enjoy this rom, so smooth *^* however I cannot flash gapps, tried the pico and nano gapps from opengapps.org also tried those by SergeryL, always got error 70 (TWRP) only once got it successfuly, when wiped the system but the phone was stuck at boot lop, tried to fix file system, also no luck. Will resizing system partition work? Will it give enough space? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Noxialis:
You can either repartition, as you said.

Or, you can just delete some system apps that you think you don't need, like CM Wallpapers or Basic Daydreams.

After deleting some harmless system apps, try flashing Pico Gapps again. It should work after that process.

This is what I did using SergeyL's ROM, should work here too.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] RyxeL:
[MENTION=7421595]Yamikaze[/MENTION] you can use advanced features from opengapps to remove system app or exclude apps from opengapps package

Alternatively you could flash via Odin the kernel of ace2nutzer or ChronoMonochrome directly that could be found in their ftps
