Nice, thx for tutorial :)

But it didnt really work for me :(

I've chosen a bootanimation (saw to late that it's not compatible with SGA) and a pack of smilies. But the smiles are still the same :( . Any ideas?

Relocate dalvik-cache to free up space

Has anyone here tried the Dalvik-cache to /cache relocation method on their Ace? I desperately need a solution to free up internal storage. I've moved almost all apps to SD, however due to Dalvik they still consume internal. And you're aware the internal for Ace is pretty low.

I tried the above mentioned method on Ace, by downloading the dalvik-cache.zip from Samdroid, and then trying to install it via recovery, but I get 'Installation aborted' everytime. Any solution to that?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cadav3r17:
can do this with froyo?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
You can't cache partition is too small. Dalvik Cache is 64 Mb and cache part is 20ish?

Hey guys, what happen if the rooting process f****d up?

will I still be able to use my phone? I mean what will happen to my phone?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:
i think it just fails nothing happens, but you will lose your waranty.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ijustzeke:
so if it fails, I'll lose my warranty but i'll still be able to use my phone? I mean nothing will happen to it internally?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:
no, but you can always do a emergency recovery.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ijustzeke:
How can I do an emergency recover? Oh my thank you so much for answering. I'm planning to root my phone later.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ijustzeke:
wait, I can't update my phone's firmware in kies. will that still work?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nish7x:
Well, that's how the method is, I believe. But then it's for another phone, so I may be wrong as it might have more internal storage. Just fyi here's the link: forum.samdroid.net/f55/relocate-dalvik-cache-free-up-space-1117/
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
so far no solution for link2sd automount,but if you start the phone and run the script manually it works fine.its a bit annoying,but if you dont restart your phone often it's fine.I use it only for the bigger games.

Has anyone tried Cynogen Mod for galaxy on SGA as my frnd installed cynogen mod for HTC on his Desire HD2(windows phone) and it works fine..

Any developer please update!!!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hero2003:
HD2 is WM , They Created a Magldr That Can Support Multi Boot , And They Port Every Rom They Want , HD2 Have Many Dev ! Check HD2 Section on Xda and U will See .

other galaxy devices havent same spec so we need a dev to port em to our device . and problem is only normal guy bought this device and unfortunatly dev wont interested on this device :(

Headset Controls...

Hey guys have anyone of u have tried using a headset with the SGA which contains media controls (like the Nokia-WH701)...?? I actually wanted to buy a set as i have to unlock the phone each time i want to change a song :mad:. But wanted to confirm whether that works or not. Any suggestions.

BTW i have used Headset Controls App from the market, and i didn't like it...especially the volume control...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aryan_rulz_1983:
Yes i friend it works for changing songs aswell i m using Nokia BH-503 headset works smooth
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] JerryPi:
Music controls on Nokia wired headphones probably wont work, i tested simmilar headset on a htc android device and it didnt work. But on the other hand bluetooth headsets works beautifully. I have Nokias bh 503 for sporting, and bh 214 for on the go and the music controls work on both of them.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] IvanBoring:
I've tried the SuperOneClick root on my wifes ACE, wich I've upgraded to GB and it doesn't work. However, if you're planning to upgrade you can go to samfirmware.com and in the forum for the 5830 you can find a new root for the GB. Works like a charm :)

Moving Games to /system/app

guys, im moving some apps/games to system/app by File Expert. I have successfully move File Expert in /system/app. However i'm having issues moving games.

Here's what i do.

1. Move APK from /data/app to /system/app

2. Change APK permission inside /system/app

3. Move /data/data/lib/<apklib>.so to /system/lib

4. Change *.so permission.

But whenever i lunch the apps it just doesnt open or FC. Any idea?

Note: i usually see this problem with programs with library file (*.so)

Side note: I saw Touchwiz 4.0, i hope it can be installed in SGA (someday)

its no Gingerbread... you can also check at samfirmware if you want to know the latest FW for SGA, for now DDKC1 is the latest for Asia FW and S5830XXKPE is the latest Gingerbread (Europe FW but you can change the language to English if you prefer English.

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with a gallery on my SG ACE, the pictures are deleted, show up to half.

Otherwise the image is seen immediately after the shooting but the problem will appear later, sometimes even next day.

Also sometimes be deleted, and some songs from the album.

This happened with 2.2.1 and 3.3.3 with the new S5830KKKPE.

If anyone can help I would be grateful.:D

yes, is the annoying thing on ace with original firmware is the wifi. but you can use *#*#526#*#* that is the way to reload the wifi driver. sometimes its work and sometime is not. and you should reboot ace.

but its all gone when im upgrade it to gingerbread. S5830XXKPE. more smooth and more faster :D (based on my ace).

try to upgrade it!

what is heimdall anyway? :confused: :D

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mehulved:
heimdall is a cross platform tool for flashing firmware on Galaxy S. Since, I don't have Windows at home, I am not sure if Odin will work via WINE.

From what I can see, the only thing different in the firmware files for Galaxy S and Galaxy Ace is that former has pit files while the latter has OPS file, which I believe are there for the same purpose.

But, I am not sure if heimdall is still compatible with Ace or not. Of course, it is not officially supported for Ace.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] lonkay:
its not for froyo 2.2.1

you should upgrade your ace first to gingerbread KPE.

Guys - need a quick help.

How to activate the voice-to-text feature on Galaxy Ace?

I know there's a mic icon on google search widget which allows to do a voice search. But if i want to use voice commands (for texting, opening settings), how to do it?

Also, as they show on the tv ad, is there a way to 'dictate' the text on a memo or sms thru voice-to-text? Do I need to install a 3rd party app for this?

Sorry if it's a noob ques but haven't been able to figure out myself. Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mehulved:
KPE will always be the same, unless you're installing some KPE based ROM. Or downloading it from some untrusted malicious source.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mehulved:
The ad shows VLingo app available in Samsung Apps. I had a really horrible experience with it. It would barely recognise any commands and crash often too. I found google voice search to be a better alternative.

But neither of them have worked anywhere near satisfactorily for me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] crazycalvin:
Thanks. Any alternatives to VLingo? And I believe it's a paid app.

EDIT: I'm not sure then why SGA is advertised as having Voice dial feature if it doesn't come bundled with it? Am i missing something.

Have seen it on atleast 3 diff sites:

"Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 has voice dial feature, allowing the user instruct commands like dialing a number or managing apps just using his voice" - source http://www.specphones.com/phone/samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830.html
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperMini:
Ithink so, the version is this:

Version: S5830XXKPE

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mehulved:
