Nope, not without you telling us what rom you where on, and what rom you flashed.
Also if its a custom rom its more than likely the thread you got it on lists what had been removed and how to put it back.

At first, I changed to yakka rom v4 then I found that the samsung apps is missing..
Then I changed back to the initial rom which is criskelo rom v34
and the samsung apps is still missing until I restore back stock rom,
then I found my samsung apps.. But it disappear again when I changed to yakka rom..
That's the story.. And I can't find the solution for the problem..

This will probably be because the new ROM has had the taken out by the Dev thats why you cant see them.You can download them from here clicking on the blue link next to each app you want.

The real solution would be for you to have read the rom builders description of each rom .
Most devs remove Samsung Apps as a waste of space to build a lighter rom .

If you check in the threads, where will most likely be flashable zips with the removed apps to put them back. (I found one in the Criskelo thread for example)
As far as the apps on the spreadsheet, they might work but I dont know which rom they are from, and what version they are, best idea is to get them from the rom thread.
Or use a different rom that doesn't remove anything.

Sure, but the devs mostly want to build fast and light ROMs and as you see you still have options to get the Samsung Apps; propably you find the same info in all of the ROM threads

[Q] Some apps not showing up on certain roms?

I have noticed that on some roms (Mostly AOSP, as CM 7.1) some of my purchased apps do not show up as downloadable. When I search for them, they're also gone...
Why is this happening? It seems that some apps are locked out from the CM version of the market. How do I fix this? I would really like to use CM 7.1, but what does it matter if I can't install all my favorite apps?
Just installing APK's from file manager is NOT a solution, I want to know how to show them permanently inside the market.
I have seen the same issues, maybe someone could help

Same issues with some apps just not appearing in the market on some roms?
Maybe the ROM/Phone info the Market is getting isn't compatible with the apps you're trying to download. Have you tried if Market Enabler lets you download them?

I thought that Market Enabler lets you choose a different provider. That's not the problem. I can do it on CheckROM, but not on CM 7.1. I will try it out to see if I'm wrong.

I'm with Hypedroid and its going pretty good atm, but I don't know if I have the same issue as you're having without knowing which apps are the one not showing in market. You can also try to install Chainfire3D driver to improve games.

Thanks for the tip
Simple solution .
Download apps on a rom that works .
Copy apps to a folder on your external sd card .
install your custom rom and then install the apps .

Hey guys,
Please can u tell me if there is a solution to change/modify to your needs a custom Rom you're about to install on your rooted galaxy s2 ( 9100 ).
For example: I want to install CyanogenMod 10 Nightly build... , it's installed, next i install GAPPS (google apps).
Ok, after reboot everything is ok and working.
Now what i want to do is to replace a default CM(cyanogenmod) apps (SMS, Contact manager/Call manager) by those which were included in JB 4.1.2 (leaked version).
Is there any way to achieve it ?
Thanks in advance for any info and suggestions.

Well that's wierd... Try restarting your phone and install again...
And to improve your phone's performance, you can install Triprex's Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654038 .You can also try Custom Roms(I would recommend TransWin s5 v2 Rom).. But to install all these, you need to have Clockworkmod installed in your phone... Refer this link to install ClockworkMod on your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2669806
Note that Clockworkmod is very essential to install all these roms and kernels.. For more info, you can browse through various threads and also pm me

'change my phone's android version look' -> By that you mean 4.1.2 changing to 4.2.2 in your settings something like dat??

It is simple, nothing will work if the ROM is not close to AOSP.
In order to get GB to work, you will need to ditch your stock ROM and install a custom ROM which are extremely AOSP-based (CM won't get it work too).
If you insist, then you can do only nothing as the dev behind GB already stresses that GB are for AOSP ROMs and he will never ever interested on giving unsupported devices any support
Unless you're so desperate for it
You can learn compiling and decompiling so that you can grab some GB source code and make it work on your stock ROM.

I tried to to replace all the files(/system/app and /system/framework) inside the stock rom with a working custom rom(in which GB was full functioning) but when i replaced th the device was working as it was supposed to work but still GB was not working after this method

That's not how custom ROM works. And what you have done is seriously wrong
Flashing a completely new ROM is better than the unsafe file overwriting inside /system/xxxxx . Though it might be working in your eyes, however I am pretty sure there are many errors in the logcat since you have mixed up your ROM with unfamiliar files.
Flash a custom ROM that is AOSP or code a new app that does what GB does for your device
Please take note of the above paragraph. That's the choices you have.
I was using GB before. Since I tried CM, and loved it, I have been known that GB won't be supported on CM. What I did was I completely abandon GB. I even have donated to such app. I feel sad, but yea life must go on

[2019] New Rom for Ace, is anyone interested?

I can share with you a simple and minimal Android rom that could make the ace completely usable in 2018... Would you be interested?
I think that the best idea is to use Android 2.3 as base (no bloatware, no TouchWiz, and no Android 4.4 that just crazily drains battery)
I' ve tested less known apps that can still run on 2.3 (and found them very fast too). I will replace old system apps with them
I also thought that a good way to push the Ace beyond it's limit is to take a look at the Sony Xperia Play threads on xda. This phone has the same cpu/gpu and it has been supported a lot through the years (being a gaming phone, Devs has done their best to optimize performance instead of themes and useless functions)
Let me know what you want to see in this rom and I'll try to do it!
Just leave a comment with an advice :fingers-crossed:
----------UPDATE--------------------------
I'm creating a NEW/Better thread for my Rom, subscribe to this one to stay tuned!

Mich-C ROM v0.5 is out!

Hi tiger! Thank you!
Would you also be interested in testing the first release of the rom?
If the project will be appreciated I' ll work on next releases even more (I could recompile the rom from source, we could change the kernel, choose more in depth oprimizations ecc)

Hello.
I'm interested too. I recover from dust my old Galaxy Ace II (GT-S5839i), but it is very limited in memory right now. There is no easy way to extend memory with an SD card.
Some apps are not supported on the old Gigerbread 2.3.6 (Whatsapp will not have any update anymore). I was not aware of the "4.4 draining battery probelm"

Hi jaymor,
Regarding 4.4 :
the 4.4. battery consuption problem is caused by Jellybean itself. Devs that made 4,4 roms made a wonderful job, but the the ace hardware doesn't have enough power to work on a so new new/heavy os.
Regarding Whatsapp :
I don't see any reason to don't use WA on Android 2.3
1) they stopped updating it just 4 months ago (I don't know if you have the latest version)
2) they aren't adding new features, and the most important one that is messages criptografy is supported on 2.3
3) WA does nothing else that increasing in size with each version, and you just tell us how limited storage could be annoying on old devices
Regarding GT-S5839i
I checked its specs, it seems to have 158mb of rom and support for micro-sds up to 32gb. Using a custom rom you shouldn't worry about memory.
Unfortunately you can't flash my rom (it's for s5830) I'll surely make a rom also for this device if I had a device for testing it, but first of all I have to complete this rom
Hi Mich-C.
I agree with you : Whatsapp work for now on 2.3, but they announced (I cant post link in XDA, but search Google for "WhatsApp-support-for-mobile-devices" ) it will not work anymore in 2020. Same for Symbian and iOS 6 (and old dino-smartphone).
Not a big deal, but if I could refurb this phone to my kids for free, it will be cool.

Ok, anyway we still have almost 2 year to keep using whatsapp. I hope that until then it will be replaced by something else.
I would also recompile those apks to make them working on 2.3, but apps like Whatsapp (or even Telegram) are not opensource...
sheinbo said:
Mmhh, not sure... "About Phone" shows 'Android 5.0' . I never used lollipop so I cannot verify whether it is a lookalike or a ROM. Here in the forums I did not find it, maybe you had " conceptL' in mind? That one was posted here indeed as far as I remember. And that one is a CM 7.1

The showed android version can be modified by the dev.

Well, it's a very nice rom but I find useless to fuse both the look of iOS and LineageOS on a CyanogenMod rom, it would be better If he just made a pure iOS or LineageOS looklike rom.
I like the fact that he didn't install GApps and the full Facebook app, I won't include them too in my rom too! (I'll try to do it without losing features)
My rom should also be faster than this one, or at the least I hope so
@Mich-C haven't you shared your ROM eventually? I'd be interested too.
Hi @Erpinoob
I'm sorry for making you and other users wait, the reasons are
1)I'm busy for the university
2)Recently I got a boot-loop I'm going to fix
3)I don't want to release 99999 versions of the rom
4)I'm including several "old" tools for android 2.3, often links are not working and so I'm still waiting for developers to provide me new links
4)I'm learning how to develop apps in Android Studio at the university, and I'm taking advantage of this creating 2-3 exclusive apps for my rom
I hope to finish the rom after christmas holidays, anyway I'll tag in the post all those who left a comment in this thread
Greetings
