Finnaly i get everthing working with 2.3.3 Gingerbread.

Now, it's missing one think.... Root the Galaxy Ace with Gingerbread....

It's possible at the moment? With SuperOneClick doesnt work....

Any idea?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nhnt11:
Guys, AFAIK, Galaxy Ace has an msm7227 turbo, not a normal msm7227, so it's not overclocked. It's the default clock speed. Not 100% sure though.

Oh, and about root - since recovery has R/W access, can't we just push su and superuser from an update.zip? Why do we need an exploit?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Sure? I have heard that it's the same processor as the HTC Legend, just overclocked, but I couldn't quite belive it considering the low CPU-score in Quadrant compared to my overclocked Legend.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
There is already quite a few posts about that.

Look back in the thread, and you will find the answer
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nhnt11:
See this: http://www.smartphoneblogit.com/sam...-intelligent-interface-quicktype-by-swype.htm

Galaxy Ace definitely seems to have a turbo version. CPU's are almost NEVER overclocked by default because it deteriorates the hardware.

As for root, I definitely think a simple update.zip with su and superuser would work.

Edit: Try the update.zip attached for root. (reboot into recovery - apply sdcard:update.zip)

It should work fine.

As usual, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING WRONG THAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU FLASH THIS. That said, even if something goes wrong (which it won't) this should be easily fixable using odin.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
I know that it would be weird to ship it with an overclocked CPU, but I just thought I heard somewhere that it was the first Android-phone to ship with an overclocked CPU.

Just odd that it scores so low in Quadrant, or what?

About that root there, i'm willing to try that when I get home, as i'm currently on vacation.

Btw, you have a PM ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
so the question now becomes: is this update completely user friendly or are there any kinks to it?

I see the camera focus seems to be deteriorated from what I read on previous posts and that the notification volume is slightly erratic. how about everything else? GPS, battery life, wifi, etc?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
I myself haven't been able to test it, but remember that it is a leaked ROM, so there is a risk about it being bugged.

But try it out, the worst that can happen is that you need to flash back to FroYo using ODIN ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
yeah i have no problem flashing something onto my phone. I have been doing it for ages in the Samsung H1 and on this phone when I first got it :P

problem is I depend very much on the root and I like to inform myself before doing anything. Control/Information freak you see ;)

Yeah I think I might. Just going to get a good app for backups...I have a feeling I might try this out :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hon kin:
pdadb.net does mention that it has a turbo version, but if 800Mhz is the stock freq, the benchmark score is a bit.. low :/

I think it will be the fault of GPU...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
I understand. As you can see nhnt11 has posted a possible root-solution, but doesn't seem like anyone has been able to test it. I will test it when i get home
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
it would be good that the root solution would work since from what I understand this firmware comes with those annoying Hangman.apk apps in russian and some book and music stores that nobody in their right mind would use :D

I can live with them for a few days until the root has been figured out I guess and if that solution posted above works, it's a good option
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
wow,i totally missed the update file, trying out now!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Great, please report back :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
let us know if it works and how did you get it to work ;)

as for me i am going to flash my phone with 2.3.3

Wish me luck....backups are made so let's see how this goes
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hasafly:
Can you explain how can i apply this update?

I Have an Galaxy Ace with new GingerBread.....

How can apply this update to try to root it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
hey,thx for your help. when i'm trying it,it say's : E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Download it, and put it on the root of your SD-card, reboot into recovery, and choose "Apply update.zip"

How to reboot into Recovery Mode?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Look at the first post in this thread ;)

And keep holding the buttons until you get into "Android Recovery"
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nhnt11:
I think I know what happened. Try this one.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hasafly:
Yes...the other gives an error:

"Error in package..... (Status 0) Installation Aborted"
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hasafly:
With new file i get the same error...cannot install the package...

Any idea?

sam error :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
We are working on a fix to the problem!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
i dont get it why but when i put my phone in download mode i get the samsung logo, and on the top left corner says emergency Dload Mode (arm9 mode), and doesn't do anything from there. Odin is just "sitting" there looking pretty saying only setup connection...

EDIT: never mind...SIM card...forgot to remove it....duuh

so far so good...it's installed and working great...seems faster than froyo. In any case, seems that the Nexus suspend animation isn't present here...would be cool though ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ramy.s:
Guys, I'm having a little problem that I'm not sure to which it is related. After I updated to 2.3.3, there are horizontal lines (especially noticeable when watching videos or flipping through the gallery). The display was fine on Froyo. Somebody got anything on this?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
that's weird...perfectly fine here
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Status so far!

Root on the leaked 2.3.3:

SOC=Of course not working, as it is made for FroYo..

Flashing update.zip containing su and SuperUser.apk=Not working, gives an error and we can't find out why.

GingerBreak=We are working on modifying it to work!

ClockWorkMod:

Replacing stock Recovery with CWM=Way to complex..

Fake-flashing=First attempt failed, as we can't mount sbin. nhnt11 is working on it!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
good luck on that. hangman.apk is annoying me just by it's mere presence
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hasafly:
I think, the GingerBreak is the best choice to get success in Galaxy Ace.

Good job, guys!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] guddu2011:
i think clockworkmod will be a better choice which will also help us in bringing custom roms and overclocking
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
AFAIK, we can't mount sbin without root, so we need to get GingerBreak to work, before we can get CWM ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] daron19:
what is causing the problem with galaxy ace and gingerbreak?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] glitzghan:
Galaxy Ace Pattern Lock bug

I found a major bug in Ace... Would be gr8 if someone found a fix..

After setting the pattern Lock, if I try to launch clock from the settings, the phone gets locked with the pattern screen,.. The only 2 ways of recovering from this pattern lock screen is to either reboot the phone or constantly press the home icon in the bottom of the screen which flashes while trying to unlock the pattern...

plz share if someone else is also facing this bug,...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
We are not quite sure, but it just doesn't work ;)

nhnt11 will try to modify the script to get it to work
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] daron19:
good luck with that if you need any help testing let me know
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] karayemis:
I wanted to buy this phone but i didnt because it doesnt support FLASH in browser. maybe 2.3 does support could anyone check for me?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Nope, it uses an ARM V6-processor, that doesn't support Flash ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
doesn't support it yet. Although if you want flash player for videos , you should use the skyfire browser
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
It will never support the Flash that Adobe makes, as the processor isn't good enough ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
which is a terrible shame but at the same time, not really..flash advertisements are a pain...besides...watching flash video works great on skyfire and I don't see any other use for flash anyway ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
True.

Can't see what all the hype about Flash is about..

You get annoying advertisements, and a few videos.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nereida77:
The only i could install is flash player 10.1, but its only the one that Ace support :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] karayemis:
I use Flash almost daily that''s why i must have it. By the way you can easily disable it when you don't want those advertisements. This phone is really good but it just misses the s-amoled screen and Flash player. These are my demands for a phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
the only thing i wish there was on this, is the gingerbread sleep animation from the nexus....any idea on how to get it in there?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] boxy44:
Going back to March Foryo as i got the SOD.

i sent some files from the galary via bluetooth and that was it,it went into lock mode, and i tried every thing,even connected it to the pc,but did not wake up..

Finally removing and re inserting battery was the only way.....

i guess the gingerbread needs -

1.I have noticed that there is a pause for the phone to wake up..

2.Sound quality must be improved to march europe Foryo.

3.Vga vedio recording is good,But Camera should be optimised.

4.I guess the graphics are good now,but i guess the system is using too much resources,hence no improvement in Quadrant even though we can see atleast 20~40% improvement in graphics 2d and 3d tests.Hence os optimisation.

5.and lastly,if i install a new os,i would definately would ant to see a fresh look,not just a new task bar. (maybe i am asking too much :) )

6.SOD, on a stock company rom ????

7.Ringtone and notification tone's volume prob....

Hello!

Anyone from Asia (particularly from India) tried flashing S5830ZSKC2? This is the latest ROm listed under Asia section on samfirmware.com

On a related note - would it be fine if I try to flash 2.3 (European version)? I don;t want to get stuck with Russian lang and un-wanted apps :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] guddu2011:
to all those who are scared of the language in the leaked european 2.3.3 version, you can change your language to 'English' in settings and after that the only thing you will notice is the hangman application which will be in somewhat other language, which cannot be uninstalled as of now but the way will open as we are having success in rooting the device

an application can't stop us using 2.3.3 :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
Is Wifi working on 2.3.3 ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jay Miz:
Yes ^^. It's really good
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Omg, why does everyone keep complaining about 2.3.3?!

Of course these is a ton of bugs, its a facking leaked ROM?!

If you can't live with that stuff, wait for the official release?

And about rooting, look back a few posts, as I have posted a status on how far we are with rooting and getting CWM
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
I am not complaining!! How can you when you are getting upgraded to 2.3.3 ?

I understand that it is leaked FW and hence bound to have few extra bugs (even official release can have bugs !! )

Wi-fi is essential for me and hence needed a confirmation as someone had posted problems with the same. That was the intent of my question

Simlock problem

Hi all,

Just bought the Ace from ebay but is simlocked. This is a huge problem for me since I need it to work with a local carrier.

I've flashed to 2.3.3 and then tried to use SOC to root which as I realised after reading this post couldn't work.

If I roll back to Froyo and root is there a way to unlock the phone?

Never mind I just did it and it worked! Finally Sim lock free!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] guddu2011:
as of now i havn't faced any bug in 2.3.3 leaked rom :D

in fact i am loving it lyk anything and waiting for a working root meathod..!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mtencarguez:
good day, has anybody solved the notification ringtone volume being so low on our SGA?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Maybe you don't, but others do ;)

About bad camera-quality, and that stuff. And someone asked if we could port the CRT-animation.

Guys, why don't you just wait with rooting, modding and all that stuff 'till we get an official release?

guys im getting this phone next week and i just have few questions before that:

1-how is the video recording since its VGA now comparing to the original video recording in froyo?or its too early to tell since its not an official version?

2-is the screen colors are good enough(im not talking about the software im talking about the screen itself) or its sometimes annoying?because i read at samfirmware that"One thing does annoy us are the colors they are really excessive. So the color light green turns into poison green. "

3-can this phone handle big games and game emulators since im really into gaming?and is it ok to buy a phone with 320x480 res since all new phones are 400x800 and bigger(i mean for games and apps)

thanx in advance guys
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] guddu2011:
1-video recording is very much good than that in froyo

2-screen colors are very good(for me), and its for sure that it is not at all annoying

3-for apps-yes all will work

for games-all games except hd will work(some of hd may work)

HTC_IME depends on files from framework_res.apk (I think that's what it's called), so of course it force-closes ;)

how to turn off haptic feedback in SGA Gingerbread?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
Yeah, I have no intention of trying this leaked ROM myself. Froyo is running very smooth for me, rooted so I can use droidwall and link2sd. Only downside now is wifi stability, but I can live with that for a few more weeks or even months. I'm not willing to give all that away for an unfinished unofficial ROM that *may* fix wifi stability.

Never mind. We will surely find a solution soon..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SjPedro22:
all i can say about this leaked 2.3.3 is "so far so good"

haven't had any problems with it, the phone actually feels better in overall except on two details: no nexus like animation on suspend and when waking up the phone it seems slower, buttons light up, and a half a second later the screen lights up.

other than that, it's great. all it needs now is the root so we can remove those annoying useless apps like hangman.apk and the book/music stores

When i check for firmware updates in Kies the following message appears:

Hope it works !!!
