Okay im not that bad for a person, so let me give you some advice:

*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Flashing your phone usually means putting leaked software on your phone and thus could potentially

break the rights you have that if it breaks down you get a new one.. so its up to you to proceed..

Before Flashing, make sure you have backed-up all your data, otherwise you'll risk losing it.

Secondly, try to read through some forums/sections (maybe about other phones) to know what

it is you are going to do.

Third, install the right drivers for your phone make sure that KIES is not running on your computer!

Shut it down, shut it down, please do so!.. You just needed to install it to get the Galaxy Ace Drivers,

but the rest of the program is only for people who don't know what to do with their phones,

if you are one of them: Stop reading and be satisfied with what you got, or wait for Kies updates! :p

*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Okay, now for the flashing:

Make sure your battery is charged all the way up to 100%, if not you can **** up your battery stats (which are restored after charging it up and playing with it for a couple of days, but nevermind)..

Before connecting it to your computer, shut it down and pull the battery!

Also, make sure that your computer wont be killed/shutdown because your laptop battery is empty or your little brother plays with electricity or something, and try to close as many applications on your computer as possible, just to be sure..

Proceed to the flashing, following these guidelines:

Firmware Update Steps, follow the exact order!:

*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

1. Run Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 Downloader

2. Select OPS file : Cooper_v1.0.ops in the OPS field.

3.

- Click BOOT button and select: APBOOT_S5830xxxxx_xxx...._user_low_true.tar.md5

- Click Phone button and select: MODEM_S5830xxxxx_xxx...._REV03.tar.md5

- Click PDA button and select: CODE_S5830xxxxx_xxx...._REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5

- Click CSC button and select: CSC_S5830xxxxxx_xxx......_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5

4. Put your phone into Download Mode: Press middle Key ( OK key ) + Power + Volume Down

5. Connect USB cable to your phone and the program must read the Com number it takes.

6. Click Start button and the update process will start.

7. Do not touch or remove anything till the device rebooted and you can see PASS word on the program!!

*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

And that's it, that's all I can do for you at the moment. Maybe next week I'll have some more expierence with flashing the galaxy ace, as of now I have only flashed my Galaxy s (a million times) and my Samsung Star (three times :P), so I'm not an expert on flashing a Galaxy Ace.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jeffdijkstra:
Ugh, was hoping for the ROM instructions :D

Anyway, I'm fairly new to Android and ROM's, I rooted my phone already successfully so I could get things like Adblocker for apps etc.

I understand and have been told that ROM's are supposedly the 'better' firmwares out there when they are designed for a phone, thus saving things like battery life and performance, is this true or is this really ROM depended?

I'm mainly looking for things like extending the battery life of my phone (performance speed is way enough already with stock firmware), would this be a good reason to use a custom ROM or shouldn't I bother?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] samsungshah:
Did you tried everthing in ACE..just reconfirming...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jonathan_m84:
You can increase battery life by disabling data network when you dont use it and by removing all those fancy widgets from your desktop launcher, they eat up battery juice.. also, install advanced task killer froyo from market and kill your running apps that you dont use, set security to low;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tobi240988:
Tested a few days with and without ATK. There was no difference. Much better battery life with Juice Defender.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jonathan_m84:
All sugestions are welcome;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
We definitely need to recompile Phone.apk and Settings.apk to include haptic feedback ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jeffdijkstra:
So if there are apps out there to save battery life and the stock software is fast enough, is there any point of making ROMS for this phone? (or most other phones for that matter)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Lovetz:
After flashing the smartphone via KIES to KA07 I found archive with the firmware in the folder with temporary files. Maybe it will help to create the firmware. The link is to the firmware file. In an attachment is a screenshot with the set of files from the archive with the firmware.

Sorry for bad english.

Custom Rom

I am facing random reboot problem, i hope your custom ROM will solve my problem..keeping my fingers crossed :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] JerryPi:
You are not alone;) I am also experiencing random reboots, especially if i use launcher pro, and multitask with webbrowser, while listening to music.

There is also some sort of wifi bug where if the device is in sleep wifi disconnects sometimes.

And sometimes if i want to wake it it just freezes.

Its a mixed bag currently:cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
Its not a wifi bug..in wifi advanced settings there is somethin called wifi sleep policy which by by default puts wifi in sleep the moment screem goes off.

Change that setting and wifi will work
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] JerryPi:
Thanks for the info;-)

How to Install ROM, if it comes up?

Hey guys,

We dont have clockwork running on this phone? So how do we install the ROM?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] samsungshah:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jonathan_m84:
Should be fine after a factory reboot.. otherwise flash back to your original fw, see post nr 2
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jonathan_m84:
Will depend on tonight. If I manage to fix it, i'll make an ODIN flashable ROM..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] samsungshah:
No factory reset isn't helping...it will convert phone to chinese language...before flashing i didn't took backup any firmware backup...post no2 is not helping me either..please help
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] manju991:
umm..

Hey I am not sure,

But may be you can try the european versions, they might have english installed on 'em
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] samsungshah:
gonna try that tonight...will share the results
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] manju991:
ROM?

Dunno why there is no separate section for ace after so long....

And hows the ROM coming on?

:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] izal2012:
When this custom rom will be available :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
I'm afraid it won't be for some time. Today I tested an alpha version, didn't work. Also Jonathan told me he stopped development, mainly because he has no Ace himself. Ill try to pick up.

Had some succes today though. I managed to deodex packages using this guide and xUlitmate software: Deodex

Then I used APK Manager to zipalign packages.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dody.joshua:
how about costum rom the other ...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kingg:
is it possible to upgrade the Android froyo on galaxy tab p1000 to gingerbread?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Did you deodex the phone itself? If so, how? Mine keeps giving me error about missing space
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
I have managed to deodex and zipalign packages and framework. This is specific and only for firmware S5830XEKB1.

The downloadlink is here: Link! Use the following instructions to put the files on your mobile phone:

[HOW-TO] Manually deodex your phone. CREDITS TO: Webst3r and others.

Original thread Here

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE! MAKE SURE YOU MAKE AN BACKUP OF /system/app AND /system/framework. SO YOU CAN RESTORE THE FILES WHEN NECESSARY.

You must be rooted!

This is a guide on manually deodexing, you phone. (Duh!)

What you'll need:

* Patience

Process:

* Put the phone in USB mass storage.

* Go into the extracted folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app_opti", and move them to the root of the sdcard.

*Open a command prompt, and do the following:

adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app_opti/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
reboot

Your phone should now be deodexed and zipaligned!

You may notice an increase in speed, and you now have the ability to edit certain files with greater effects. (i.e. services.jar)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mode90x:
I hope your ROM will come out soon enough, and also hope for a section for Ace. Its been 2 months since the release of the phone. Galaxy SII already has its own...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
I don't think I'm gonna make a rom out if it soon, my midterms are coming up. Try to upload the deodexed and zipaligned files first. It will make the phone a lot more responsive.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mode90x:
When I wrote soon I meant 1-2 months maybe :D Ill be reading around a bit and then try this deodexing thing. Thanks for working on ace though :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
@Peeter

You said this de-odexing was for one specific FW

What needs to be done to make it work on other FWs ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
The whole process needs to be done again ;) look at the original thread from my previous post its not that hard
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] brazzor65:
If you make a custom rom, are you able to change the resolution of the video cam ?? Because the video resolution is really bad...I think its QVGA (240 p) are you able to change it to 360 p or even better to 720 p ??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yewyew85:
did you finish the custom rom for galaxy Ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] izal2012:
helm me !

If i run :

cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

some notice on command prompt " not enough space on device"

after 2 seconds , my ace get hang , and i must flashing again , and when i try to run cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

Agan , the problems is same , i must flash again , huhuhu
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
What you can do is first remove the odex files, that will make some space.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] izal2012:
i was try it , but the problem of not enough memory not fixed , huhuhu :( , please give me screenshoot step by step in comand prompt :o
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] letsurock:
Are you working on better camera and Video recording ?? And Wifi thing(first time when activated it works well, next time when we try to activate it, it doesn't. We have to reboot to activate Wifi)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] manju991:
ROM???

:confused:

Feel very sad after paying so much for this mobile and having no custom roms for it. LG p500 has so many of them.... :( :(:( :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Natascha303:
i think there will be no custom rom szene for the ace, xda even doesnt open a section for the ace.

if u like custom roms, you have to pay 50 EUR more and buy the galaxy s
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
I think there will b custom rom for this phone..we will just have to wait slightly longer
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jeffdijkstra:
Where the hell is a SG-S 50 bucks more expensive then a SG Ace?

Everywhere I can buy this phone it's a few hundred bucks more expensive.

And I'm pretty sure ROMS will come, the Ace is a popular mid-range phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jnrphil:
Just got the galaxy ace.luv this fon but android experience is incomplete without rooting and custom roms.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
For Pete's sake! Let's give this some time. The phone is just 2 months old.

I have encountered this, it is because your phone carrier settings is lost, try manually creating your Access Point Network (APN) in the settings, then internet should work.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hingysaid:
Hello all..... just a quick one..... I have a HD2, and have recently found that I cannot transfer files onto the SD card without running the chance of them not actually showing up. Sometime they do, sometimes they don't.

By the above I mean, if I transfer a music folder across which contains a dozen or so mp3..... the transfer appears to happen okay.... the green progress bar on the laptop takes the expected length of time and the folder appears in the directory of the HD2.... HOWEVER.... when I open this folder, the MP3s are not there????

I have had this with some other files (usually larger).... they appear to transfer across without problem, but once I disconnect the HD2's data lead and search through the storage card - nothing there!

I have a HD2, running WM 6.5 on thre latest Vodafone rom, and using an unbranded 32gb sd card.

Any help... VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
I suggest you make a complete back up copy of all the contents of your SD card. hben reformat your SD card using the Fat 32 option. Also I suggest you take your SD card out of your HD2 and put it into a SD card reader and use it to reformat your SD card. All you have to do is find the SD card on your computer by going to My Coputer, it will be listed as a mass storage device or a removable drive. Right click it and select format and use option Fat 32.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
First, I would try the re-formatting as discussed in the last post. However, did you try transferring via ActiveSync (assuming you were using the USB drive option)? There are two ways to transfer files on the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axman79:
Are those files, by any chance, set to hidden?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stathis95194:
If your sd card is an unbranded 32GB one bought from ebay it's most probably a fake...This behaviour is exactly what happens if the fake sd card is 2 or 4GB fooling you to think that it's 32GB one. Any file you transfer that exeeds the real storage capacity of the fake sd card will be lost.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hingysaid:
That makes sense.... it was from ebay, and would account for the corruptions and problems which have occured since I swapped it for my 8gb.

I wonder if I have any recourse through eBay?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hingysaid:
I've went back to my old 8gb card and everything working fine now.... duff card - confirmed....!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snakerdlk:
Hi,

I know this is not the place for n00b questions but I didn't find answers for these. I own a Moto XT300/Spice and since it is only available in Canada and Brazil the mod support is pretty weak. I'd like to try a few things, like adding the adreno200 3d module to the kernel/load dynamically or even try to update to froyo.

First, what are each partitions on the android device?

boot - where kernel/ramdisk/kernel arguments are kept

system - system data, not modifiable by user, only /data is ?

recovery - kernel/ramdisk/other files booted when pressing power+x on power?

userdata - ?

cache - ?

kpanic - ?

In system there should be a recovery.img that is flashed to the recovery partition at each restart? My moto spice does not have it. Why?

Motorola normally has a locked bootloader. What does this mean? That I can't change the bootloader? That I can't change the boot.img ?

When pressing Power+X and the Alt+L the recovery menu appears. This is the result of booting the recovery partition?

When hard-reseting the phone, boot.img and /system are not restored, just certain folders are wiped? For example, if busybox and su was installed, when hardresetting the phone they would still be there ?

/sdcard/update.zip can be used to restore the state of the phone(with the right update-script, of course). It should be included the boot.img and system/ as well as the META-INF and must be signed. Is sensitive information of the phone included in either boot.img or system that should not be given to others, like the IMEI?

Using the default.prop and build.prob from system could I compile the kernel from source and modify it?

Thanks for any help regarding these topics. I've searched around and most similar threads were not answered.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cegal:
If you con do it please let me know, i'm a former WM user and know nothing of android or linux (so far)...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snakerdlk:
Still no idea...

YES

No idea

YES

probably..

I heard that after signing in to the google account on your phone, system partition may have it... who knows...

Heard of a guy who managed to erase his IMEI. Is this possible ?

Don't know, but Clockwork Mod uses the info from the boot.img to setup the build environment...

Yeah, had a feeling such post would not be answered in these forums...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
XDA throwing out m-deejay has absolutley sickened me. He was one of the most busiest devs on this forum and to throw him out, delete his topics, (whatever you want to call it) is discusting, who gives a toss about GPL? I mean how ridiculous is it that XDA supports devs touching WM/WP roms (which is against licensing) , yeah M$ turn a blind eye but thats not the point, yet at same time they go all Nazi because m-deejay preferred to keep his work closed???

If m-deejay wanted to keep his work closed that was his choice, I dont think XDA should give a toss either way, especially when teh alternative is to lose him/other devs altogether.

Dont get me wrong I understand that Android is supposed to be open source but it just seems silly to lose somebody with as much talent as m-deejay and im disgusted ad XDA for doing so, was hoping he would show up elsewhere but havent seen/heard anything :(

Sorry about the rant but just upset a bit since it seems he has gone for good now, hasn't even signed in since the 5th :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lolmensch:
And what's your point? Whining?

(btw: Modding your device is not against licenses at all as you are allowed to do everything you want with your hardware)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
Here's the thing:

1) I'm sure none of his stuff was actually deleted, they probably moved it to an archive forum or some hidden forum which can be restored in about 30 seconds.

2) There is a BIG difference between WM6.5 roms and Android as far as licensing goes. Android only works the way it does because of the license, MDJ did incredible things as far as ROM and kernel development, and I loved his ROMs, but without distributing the source code is muddles everything up, how did he do what he did? what if I want to incorporate that in my ROM? why were some things broken and some things not? etc...

not only that, but if it's "not a big deal" why the hell didn't he just give his damn code? it's not that hard and so many would benefit. If the mods let MDJ get away with GPL non-compliance, then they have to let everyone get away with it, and that's just not going to work. No one drove him off or messed with him, just up the damn code dude. It does have an effect when you put out a linux distro with no source code, that's how **** gets muddied up and craptified, the same isn't true with winmo because we don't even have the damn source code and it doesn't work the same way at all.
