Well, just to give you an idea, this ROM is for me to test how much demand there is for ACE development.

If there's enough demand, I'll look at porting clockworkmod for you - which shouldn't be difficult. If I get the ROM finished today I will look at porting CWM tomorrow if I have the time.

I have a few ROM ideas I'd like to try, but this one is going to be a bit of a mix up to see how many downloads we get.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
I can assure you that there are many people who would be willing to try out the 1st Custom ROM for SGA !!!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] izador:
the new rom include rtl fix also?

10X for the wifi issue /:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Wishmaster89:
I have a question to those that already got a taste of official gingerbread on Ace. Did samsung include divx/xvid support in video player? I'm asking cause they modified the audio player so there's a slight chance that they did something to stock video player...

And good to see that Ace is gaining interest among the dev's :) It can only lead to great things :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nprussell:
Point me to the post please!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mastrone:
Fantastic news, involving developers will make this great phone more teasing. Russell, I can't wait to test your ROM! Especially if it works with Link2SD app (it doesn't work since 2.3.3 upgrade) :p

Ciao!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ingbrzy:
@nprussell

Will new ROM contain also BLN Mod for BLN control..? That would be great... market: http://goo.gl/Z3AYi

Thx....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] izador:
here is the way that i fix after i did system dump.

and replace the files in framework folder & lib folder.

the fix is not working directly on the phone for SGA, you need to

choose fix files on the computer, u will see the instructions after

you will run the file named command .

the filed has been taken from Israeli forum iandroid.

here is the link for the file.

It's getting lively in the Ace dev scene!

Me Gusta.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
This is great, hope you can include Touchwiz 4.0 in it, :) . Added your site to my favourites . Goodluck!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kills999:
Does the custom kernel you are planning include overclocking and swap support???

Swap can address the low RAM problem on the ace.....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nprussell:
One thing at a time! :)

I'm just trying to develop a base I am comfortable with for now. Please don't expect the world from day one. That being said, I will be putting a significant amount of time into this rom over the next few weeks, so it will definitely improve over time.

I've just wasted the last couple of hours messing around with the ramdisk attempting to implement custom bootanimation functionality. Unfortunately I haven't yet got it working, so I think I'll take the rest of the evening off and pick this up again in the morning!

Some small ideas of what's been done so far:

- De-odexed build (improving system space)

- 2 tweaks which increase free memory

- Annoying 'OHAI THE BATTERY IS FULL ALERT' removed via smali - no more audio notification or screen on to say OHAI, meaning no more 3am wake ups.

- Menu key will now unlock phone on lock screen

- Removed some bloatware

Now.. I was going to use the STOCK gingerbread launcher, rather than the touchwiz launcher... but I'd like people's opinions on that. I could easily make a batch file which would swap them back to original.

Tomorrow my initial plans will be:

- Have another go at implementing custom bootanimation support (had a lot of bad luck with it today)

- Add 'Reboot to Recovery', 'Reboot to Download Mode' and 'Reboot' to the power menu

AFTER THE INITIAL RELEASE, I will then start looking into:

- Custom OC/UV kernel

- Porting ClockworkMod or creating my own recovery image

- More significant changes and rom work

Anyway - again... please don't expect the miracle ROM you've been waiting for since day one. Consider this a stable, solid base for changes to follow! :)

RE: People asking about TW4... I'm not going to be looking at that for a few days, so I'm not qualified to give you an answer!

Anyway.. I'll be in here again tomorrow keeping you updated. I expect to have something out by 5pm GMT. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xperiaatic:
nprussell, maybe u should open new thread for your ROM ? so it is more easier to follow your progress :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] izador:
thanks for your hard work (-:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] downloadonlyaccount:
But does it still show up in the notification-bar? Because my battery gauge (using launcher pro) shows me 100% while it still takes up to 30 minutes or more until the "battery full alert" shows up.

nevertheless, great job done so far. can't wait for your work :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Narc0tic:
+1 for Gingerbread Launcher (or Zeam launcher, I don't like touchwiz :mad:)

Thank you so much for your hard work!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Hatshipuh:
+1 for Stock Launcher too
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] smoky87:

i wonder why there isn't custom rom for Ace??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roti86:
Because It's a fresh phone, It has been released for a month, developers don't have it. I hope it will get a cooked rom soon.:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
There is no kernel support for ext3, so no it doesn't work. Only ext2 is supported.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] manju991:
Hello

I purchased a new ace... helllooo
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
Does this mean that sga will use ext2 partition when you have it on your sdcard?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
Dont know the exact details, but I think those apps also work with an ext2 partitions on sdcard.

PS. Has somebody found a way to theme the device?

Nice, now make us Cyanogenmod 7!! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rideriang:

720p recording????

Can we soon have a 720p recording in our ACE s5830???? Everthing is perfect, 800Mhz, 5 MP camera ........
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
I don't think the processor and the igp supports 720p video recording. For one the processor is very slow playing mkv files with subtitles.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
@peeter123

You are right, sga only supports ext2. I managed to reclaim 50% of the internal storage by moving the apk, data files, and each apps delvik cache to ext2.

FAT = can only support 4gb, use FAT32 for larger capacity micro sd cards.

Hey guys

I have some queries..First of all has anyone successfully connected their galaxy ace to KIES?If yes please tell me the procedure..Also whenever i connect my phone to my PC usb debugging turns on itself though i have turned it off in the development menu..Anyone knows why this is happening and where do we get the option to select the USB mode??

Thanks in advance..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] fahmitue:
i want to try it tooo!!! make sure he or she take time.. not to rush.. a good custom rom is very needed! battery consumption and install more software to sd card in recommended. tq!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] harrythescorpion:
Hi guys,

i was just trying to connect my galaxy ace to my office computer (here i do not have the admin permissions). i just figured out that the galaxy ace is missing the "USB Settings" menu, that is generally found under 'applications' or 'about phone' , The usb settings menu gives us the option to connect our phone to computer as external usb, keis, media player, /ask on connection. any help would be appreciated. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jeffdijkstra:
When connected to your PC and when you have installed the phone drivers/Samsung Kies on that PC: drag down the top bar of the phone to open the extra options and notifications and select USB device from there.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vatastala:
Hi, someone knows if is possible to have battery percentage over the battery icon on the taskbar? Thank you
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
Yes it's possible. But you need to modify system files to do this. There's a thread here in xda forum, try to search it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mehulved:
So the problem with my sister's Ace is that it is getting wrong information from the router but my Galaxy S connected to the same router gets the right information. Both the devices are getting the information via DHCP.

On Ace

[dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress]: [192.168.1.54]
[dhcp.wlan0.gateway]: [192.168.1.10]
[dhcp.wlan0.mask]: [255.255.255.0]
[dhcp.wlan0.leasetime]: [600]
[dhcp.wlan0.server]: [192.168.1.10]
[dhcp.wlan0.dns1]: [192.168.1.10]

On Galaxy S

[dhcp.eth0.ipaddress]: [192.168.1.55]
[dhcp.eth0.gateway]: [192.168.1.1]
[dhcp.eth0.mask]: [255.255.255.0]
[dhcp.eth0.leasetime]: [86400]
[dhcp.eth0.server]: [192.168.1.1]
[dhcp.eth0.dns1]: [192.168.1.1]

There is just one DHCP server and only one router in my home and neighbourhood.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] guddu2011:
huh VillainROM for sga?

can u post the link to prove dat..????
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
Guys if he says he is working on it, then he surely is.

Lets wait for the first custom ROM without bugging the developer too much. Hopefully you will get your proof soon !

You can read few pages back if that serves your purpose for the timebeing
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] imranaryan:
Thanks alot hope to see first custom ROM for SGA soon.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bluffyone:
dont be so skeptic all the time. you have posted the same post asking for proof in another thread. you are not paying him anything that you need to ask for a proof so i really hope you stop it and dont piss ppl off.

@nprussell

we are really happy that someone is actually showing real interest in Ace, we all are here to help you out in any way possible. thanks a lot.

PS: Guys we need to do something different to make admin stand up and notice that this phone needs a seperate section. Any suggestions??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:
Mass spam!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bluffyone:
lol, admin will ban all ace users and then no seperate ace section as majority members are banned!!!

i wz thinking of a protest thread in the general section wherein each ace owner post his/her request. though we already have a similar thread it didnt work so i thought of a new thread wit more intent from us
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] psycut:
I suggest every ace user to start a separate thread with a request for an Ace section! That will surely not go unnoticed :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] digkong:
dude they will ban all ace user..!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] digkong:
guyz i guess the admin is waiting for development to start on SGA ...thats the reason why theres no separate section for SGA...so hope after the first ROM has come out even section will come out...

and u never know a section may also attract developers towards SGA development..!!:):):)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
If you need any help just let me know. I've already figured out partition table:

Current status of reverse engineering the partition table(XXKC1):

Partition Table

bml1 mibib
bml2 qcsbl
bml3 oemsbl
bml4 amms
bml5 ????????FSR_STL
bml6 ????????FSR_STL / Empty|Empty RFS Partition???
bml7 arm11boot
bml8 Boot.img
bml9 Recovery.img
bml10 Looks like kernel init?????Contains this string:"em=330M console=NULL hw=5 fbaddr=0xb0000"
bml11 Empty partion no partion table?? Whole file FF
bml12 System.rfs
bml13 Data Partition
bml14 Cache Partition

Dumps of bml1-bml11
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bluffyone:
There are many phones without any proper rom and yet they hav their own section.

But now since the work is already started i feel we should have one so that more dev could come and help out.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] imranaryan:
My Humble Request Will Be

1: increasing the sound on notification

2: Increasing battery life

3: removing of unwanted apps from system to gain additional system internal memory

4: optimizing of ram

I have created a group for SGA.. for the time being we can start their until we dont have dedicated section here
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mgrroucas:
i've just join the group ! thx ! hope we'll have a real section soon for our phone..

And just to say, I love My Ace!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] psycut:
Hooray! A person actualy working on a custom ROM for SGA! Appreciate your efforts, man!

I know I am asking for too much, but what I would realy like to see in a custom ROM (or kernel, if ever) is a possibility to convert system/data partitions into ext2/ext4 :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ushama:
It will be the beginning for samsung galaxy ace rom development ... keep the good work dude ... you really awesome
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:
do you now that the galaxy mini do have a own section atleast they have roms already!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mastrone:
It looks like our phone doesn't support flash because of HW constraints

** Video Convertor **

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vlc_marcos:
and you are thinking to makes some changes in the battery management?? could be very good ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mastrone:
Should you need a coffee in the meantime let me know :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ingbrzy:
Great.... I wish you good luck..!

I have a question.. Will your Custom Mod include also BLN mod for BLN control..?

Thx
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vlc_marcos:
people, tell about you battery life, how many hours you can use? because for me is one day and is dead :( and another thing, i need a widget to see the email, what is the best??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kills999:
Pure messenger widget can display almost everything in both scrollable and standard widgets....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mastrone:
About battery life, mine lasts up to 2 days. What is always on sync is GMAIL.

I use Email Notifier to have an interactive preview combined with Go Launcher Ex Notification which shows the unread count as well as missed calls and sms.

To extend your battery life, although 1 entire day is good, my advice is to stop multiple sync such as Facebook, Latitude and so on.

Other good thing is to use Y5 battery saver which turns Wireless automatically OFF when you're out of known networks range.

And if you really want to have a long lasting battery, tick Use only 2G in Mobile network settings.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vlc_marcos:
iam always with the sync of gmail on and fcebook to and with the ight in the min
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] speedy051:
Im reading this but I cant figure one thing. If i root GB 2.2.1 with SOC and then upgrade it to 2.3.3 with KIES, wil it still be rooted?

Or it is better first to upgrade through KIES and then root GB 2.3.3 by putting upd_1.zip on SC card?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:
the last on or else it isnt rooted anymore!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] lonkay:
Unroot it first.. Than update via kies
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] superples:
this is goooodd news!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] speedy051:
Huh... unroot? But it is unrooted alredy, isnt it, I just bought it?

You say I should unroot it, than upgrade to 2.3.3 and than root it using upd_1.zip file?

Sorry if questions are stupid, but I'm a newbie.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] viktorlj:
When you upgrade to 2.3 you need to root again.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nprussell:
Question : Has anyone successfully repacked a boot.img file for the Ace yet?

I'm making (minor) modifications to init.rc and when I repack it the phone fails to boot. This is hugely delaying my progress.

If I can't get it figured out in the next hour or so I will release what I have done so far with the intention of working on updates over the next few days.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mgrroucas:
nprussel : You're AWESOME ! Thanx a lot for spending your time on making a rom for our Ace ! You're the first! GREAT !!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ysgace:
Yes, I managed, you have to set the correct base and pagesize parameters on mkbootimg.

The base parameter is 0x13600000 and pagesize is 0x00001000, so command needs to be:

mkbootimg --kernel kernel --ramdisk ramdisk.gz --base 0x13600000 --pagesize 0x00001000 -o boot.img
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] speedy051:
Thanks!

One more question:

Can I somehow backup my firmware before upgrading to 2.3.3 through KIES or before rooting, because if I want to use my warranty phone must be in original state (with Croatian menus)...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] lonkay:
Sorry. I tought its been rooted..

2.3 is available on kies

As i know 2.3 can't be unroot yet
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] viktorlj:
If you upgrade trough kies, you will not lose warranty. I suppose that you are from Croatia, so you can pm me on your language cause I am from Serbia. Anyway I upgraded to ginger and I'm more than satisfied.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] giobbe314:
i have already written this message , but the section was wrong

At the top of the phone there are two sensors.

The first is the proximity sensor.

Which kind of sensor is the second one?

http: //i52.tinypic.com/j9bqx1.png

if it were possible, I'd like to know if Samsung has hidden the sensor in the Android system.

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
Those are actually both part of the proximity sensor. One is the IR light emitter and the other one is the detector, which detects reflected IR light from the emitter ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] giobbe314:
i have a another question..

the ram is 278mb.

how is it possible? 278mb is not standard (128,256,512, etc.)

who does help me?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Wishmaster89:
The actual amount of RAM is probably 320mb(256+64) and 42mb are reserved either for OS or GPU.

I hope it helps :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] speedy051:
Hm, is it possible to downgrade? and than unroot?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
If you downgrade you'll lose root automatically. You'll lose root at every flash action actually.

You will retain root if it is embedded in a custom rom for example.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] speedy051:
That's great!

But then I'm back to my previous question: is there a way to save i.e. download my current firmware?
