Doesnt 3.6 come with 2800 MB system storage (mandatory) and 300 MB cache. also mandatory. and the choice of 1GB, 2GB or 3GB o data? thats where im getting confused. 1) have you done a full wipe of your partition? data, dalvik and cache. 2) are you rooted properly?? 3) try to download the zip again, sometimes you get bad downloads. all else fails, go into stock reovery and do a factory reset. then root properly and install safestrap. it sounds like you dont have proper permissions or there are some " lingering" apps conflicting with the new rom. let me know how your endeavor goes. good luck:good:
Oh and of course make sure you are on the jlftvzwME7 build otherwise safestrap may be fruitless..
Ok I will try to give the alloted space I didnt realize there was a specific amount it needed
I have I have baseband version I545VRUAME7 I was told this was compatible

No sorry i worded that strange... What i meant was that I was unaware you could make such partition changes. the only SS ive had the only option you have as far as the size of something goes, is the data. I have to leave sys at 2800 and cache at 300 MB so I found your problem very odd... And it is most certainly compatible but you're either not rooted properly ( maybe your SU binary needs to be updated?) or you need to perform FULL WIPES before the install. dont reboot in between flashing bonestock and the me7 modules either. And last but not least, Dont boot the new rom for atleast ten minutes after your done flashing it. if all else fails... just delete the slot and make a new one. and maybe try a new DL of the ROM

and fix your permissions if you can. its helped me with some funky ROMS
Ok lets start from the top
I know the SU is installed correctly because I'm using uninstall manager to remove apps like audible and viewdini that I dont use and it works perfectly
But just in case, how do I make sure my binaries are up to date?

if youre using SS, you need an external sd to keep the zips. and if you dl root browser and open it, it will prompt you to install "tools" one of which is winrar ( or something similar). although if you are going straight off the ext. sd, i dont think you need that. you should be able to create a custom rom slot in the # 1 spot, activate it and go to "Install" on the home page of the SS recovery. Pick bonestock.zip first, then add the me7 modules.zip, then flash. just dont boot the new rom for about 10 minutes
Was that any help to you?? I hope so. And if it was, shoot a thanks my way haha or just pm me and it will be much easier to communicate. good luck!

just remember you gotta throw it on the external. and WIPE, WIPE, WIPE! flash bonestock and dont reboot. wipe dalvik and cache. then flash the me7modules. give it ten minutes, then boot
you cant do it from the internal sd card that i know of

Hi everyone, I am a total newbie to all this custom ROM stuff.
I have a Galaxy ace rooted but with stock ROM, I want Cyanamod but am a little scared of bricking my phone.
It all seems very complicated so my question is, can somebody kind enough please give a step by step account of what i have to do with all the links for what i need.
Please don't leave anything out, it might seem like something everyone should know but belive me, i don't know it!!!
I am wanting basically at the end of it a phone with more spare RAM, all apps i don't need gone and a stable smooth phone, i might overclock it too depending on advice.
Don't know what you need so my phones details are:
Galaxy Ace GTS5830
Android version 2.3.6 gingerbread
baseband version S5830NEKT2
Kernal version 2.6.35.7 -perf-CL772922 [email protected] #1
Build number Gingerbread.XWKT5
Thanks for your time.
Yo, dude. Don't worry about bricking your phone, you can always fix it with odin by flashing stock rom. Just, dont use ROM manager!
Custom rom? Read the main sticky about installing cwm recovery, then find your favourite rom and follow the steps on the thread about install your custom Rom! By The way, you should read similiar threads,before creating yours. because it's 100 of 'em.
-Beans,
ok firstly u decise which cyanogenmod rom u want as they are many cyanogenmod roms by different developers and many cyanogenmod based roms ..
after u download the rom , put it in your sd card.
so u need to know that u cant flash custom roms with a stock recovery
u need a custom recovery so flash clockwordmod recovery 5 from here :
http://androidflip.com/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-v5-on-galaxy-ace-s5830/
so the above link has a guide too so i assume that cwm 5 is flashed
now go to cwm 5 recovery ( home button + power button) and choose " install zip from sd " and navigate to your rom location
it will take about 3-5 minutes for rom to install
then u ought to to click on " wipe cache partition " this is a very important step
and voila u ahve a cm7.2 powered ace remember the first boot will take a bit long so dont get scared
---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------
and getting into stock recovery ( to flash cwm recovery ) takes a bit hard work for the first few time
so best of luck press home + power button till u get in stock recovery then flash cwm recovery
In the link you posted it says install to pc then to phones sd card.
Doesn't it have to go in the root folder?
I rooted my phone from the sd card, thats still there, won't that show up when i press power and menu to get into recovery mode?
Where/how do i know which version of cyanamod to get?
As you can see i am totally clueless, thats why i'm worried about bricking it.
What do kernals do?
See...download the zip file from the link dragonoid provided..
next connect your phone to your pc and copy the zip file to the sd card..
disconnect your phone and switch it off...
press and hold power button and while holding home button press and hold power button...u will now boot into stock recovery..next use the volume buttons and select the option "apply update from sd card" and select the zip file u just copied..let it flash and then reboot your device...you now have CWM Recovery on your phone..
next...switch off phone..use power + home button combo boot into recovery..notice the difference as it is now ClockWorkMod recovery..
if you have already copied the rom zip file to your sd card select the option "install zip from sd card" and then select the rom file...after completion wipe cache and partition then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache...and then reboot...
Now you have CWM and your desired ROM on your phone..

i m sorry to say this but i could not understand a thing of ur 1st 2 lines
there is no root folder ok so u rooted your phone using cwm how stupd of me , i forgot that gingerbread rooting requires cwm method sorry my bad
i m not talking about cyanogenmod version , i m talking about the rom
there are sooo many cm7 based rom in our very own sga android development section so see those roms see which u like . i would recommend cm7.2 by team adreno but many users over here seem to like miracle rom v4 its your choice
and remember u cannot brick ur phone unless you flash a rom or a kernel not meant for ace or install rom manager and mess around with it . so jut chill
and flash cm7 already
a new awesomee world awaits you and your phone
I was afraid too like you the first time but it's a lot simple and easy. Just always take backup of previous ROM in case anything happens. So simple steps which i used:
1. Download Clockwork Mod Recovery (5.0.2.6)
2.Boot into Recovery Mod ( Power + Home button) or search google for pictures or videos
3.Select "Install from Zip" and select the CWM zip file.
4.CWM will be installed on your phone now and it's a great recovery.
5.Choose any ROM you want and put it on your SD card.
6.Now boot into recovery mod, Select "Wipe Data/Factory select" and select "yes"
7.Select "Wipe Cache" and then yes > Advanced options> Wipe Dalvik Cache > Yes
8. Go back to main recovery menu by pressing Back button of your phone > Choose Install ZIp from SD card > Select ZIP> Yes > Wait for it to install and VIOLA. you have installed a custom ROM on your phone
Thankyou, that is exactly what I wanted!
A couple more questions, I was thinking about going for Cyanamod 7.2, will my apps be gone when i do it and will i still be able to access google play.
Is there anything I will have to mess around in the files with, like setting wi-fi?

Your apps will be gone but you can back them up using titanium backup
And yes...obviously you will be able to use google play!!!

wifi stuff is a bit different on a custom rom , ur phone will not automatically pop up the wifi ap dialog box .....ull have to manually go in wifi settings and choose the wifi hotspot ( unless that is . your phone has remembered the wifi hotspot ) and than thers no boooorrrinng bluetoth disconnection after every 120 secs u can set bluetooth time out to " never"
some custom roms do require u to flash Gapps( which includes G play) as an addon but i dont think any of our cm7.2 roms require thaat

Well mate installing ROM is similar to installing OS on any PC. Format> everything is gone but long live titanium backup pro
CM based ROMs require to flash a zip called "Gapps" in order to use any google service or software like play store. On stock based ROMs, it's not required.

Can't thank you guys enough, I was expecting the " go read up" and other non helpful replies but I am very glad I joined xda, you've been a great help!
So....am I right in thinking:
1 Get Titanium pro and back everything up
2 Install CWM
3 Factory rest/wipe data in CWM options
4 Wipe dalvik cache in CWM options
5 Install Cyanamod 7.2 from sd card
6 Install Gapps
I have only just got my phone and won't be able to afford another and I have 23 months left on my contract, thats why I'm being very hesitant.

OK Thanks, what about Gmail and Play store though?
I see in abhibnl's signature it says he is waiting for a camera that works, does thqt mean the camera won't work if I install Cyanamod 7.2?
Is there anything else that won't work too?
PS How long do I have to keep verifying my posts with this Captcha?
camera doesnt work on CM9 ..
in all CM7.2 camera works dont worry
and yeah till u reach 10 posts you will have to keep verifying ..

Well gmail and play store are included in mostly all roms. Play store is must in all roms, gmail can be downloaded. CM9 doesn't support camera yet , cm7 has working camera. Do anything but never ever use Rom Manager

Only thing is can you link me a good version of Cyanamod 7.2 that you recommend as I see there are different ones, I like the simple cyan on black themes if there are different ones?
Btw I have backed up to titanium backup, do i leave it on the sd card or copy to pc because won't everything get wiped?

i dont know about the other members but this is the best cyanogenmod i have used for ACE but you need to flash this kernel with it too as thers some problem with the roms default kernel ... or you could try the cm7.2 miracle edition v4 rom which everyone seems to like

your sd contents wont get wiped wiping dalvik cache ->only your apps and app data will go...so keeping your backup on sd is safe unless you decide to format your sd card which i dont think you are interested in
Now its getting complicated again, flashing kernal too?
Miracle v4 needs messing with files for wi fi doesn't it?
Everytime I am ready something else comes up, its not simple this is it!

well since you have already done factory reset (and lost all your data) no point in whats written below
But if it happens next time and you want to preserve data, please mention if you are running an odexed/deodexed rom. Someone nice here can upload the file(s) you need and you can push them to your phone using adb

Yes stock rom will always be odexed. to check you can go to app or framework folder in system/ and see if you have corresponding odex files for apk or jars.
Edit: Also a suggestion. Don't flash mods that do not specefically say that they are for odexed roms (if you are on stock). For brightness control you can use lux brightness free from market. it gives you control on how much brightness you need

Hello,
I'm running ViperRez for about a week now and haven't had a problem. Tonight, I attended a concert and switched to the extended battery so it would survive the night and noticed on the drive home that when I attempt to open my settings and get an "Application is not Installed" message when I attempt to do so. I've tried google for help to no avail and am out of ideas so anything you guys can think of would be super appreciated.
Thanks!
If someone could dig out the settings.apk from that ROM then you could try to install it.

Try dirty flashing the Rom. Or using a root browser navigate to your Rom zip and go to /system/apps and find the settings apk. Extract the APK and try installing.

a dirty flash is when you flash without wiping. by dirty flashing viper youll install everything OVER everything else instead of fresh. and the part your wanting is the settengs.apk to be reinstalled.. you might have accidentally bloated it out, with some kind of uninstaller. or put graywolfs apk on your sd and use a file explorer to find it and install?

I just root my S4, and it worked. I got hyperdrive on it and its ok...
I have 16GB S4 and there is a new rom from hyperdrive and I cant download it because I don’t have enough space on S4… somehow there is 7 GB in system memory… what can I do to minimalize that.. I don’t even have anything installed on it jet and its saying I got 700MB left… and what app are you using for resolution change like on yours S4…?
I also have two recoveries installed and I olny need one but idk how to get rid of second one...
and I had this idea yesterday and I want to know if u guys think its going to work...
I want to try different systems, so can I get my phone back to Verizon version rooted and install apps that I want. Do back up then, and from memory cards starts up system... so I will not lose my apps all the time and I could try something new each day all I have to do is change sd card.. is that even possible?

do you have any nandroid backups on the internal memory?
It wouldn't be automatic so not the way you describe it, but I've done it, even in the same sd card, just nandroid one rom then flash the next, then when I want the old one back I just nandroid the second and restore the first and so.on

1) You cannot reduce the amount of space allocated for system. It is a partition of fixed size.
2) Delete some of your downloads. They are taking up over a gig and a half.
3) Use an app like Folder Mount to move some folders from the internal memory to external and symlink to the expected locations.
4) Use Xposed Framework and the app settings module to adjust per app dpi and resolution.
5) You only have one recovery installed. When you flash a recovery image, the old one is overwritten.
6) Your idea will not work as described. You will have to go through setup and app installs for each rom, back them up, and then you can switch between the backups as often as you'd like.

Once again, you only have one recovery installed. The screenshot that you posted is a generic setup screen in Rom Manager. It requires you to choose which recovery you have installed and is not an indication that those recoveries were autodetected.

Hey Yep that worked as far as recovery goes. Thanks so much for that. I know you said you sd card was formated as extFAT. What should I try as far as trying to get that Rom on there? Flash like you said and wipe after and fix permissions? Never had a Rom fail to install sorry for all the questions just wanting to make sure I do this right. Thanks so much for all you help(need that apps to sd feature.) Can't download folder mount insufficient storage even when I delete apps. Thanks again Tried getting in contact with Andy as he put this rom together but no luck on that front yet I am sure he is super busy doing Roms. Also you said that TWRP version I had was probably the reason, it looks like the latest version? Sorry if this is a dumb question used to Clockwork Mod and 4EXT. (TWRPV2.6.0.0 what i have installed)

So do it the same way just with the other version of TWRP? Doing this do I just get that version and rewrite script? Will this keep my other back up as well? Thanks for your help.

Just flash any of the zipped recoveries except Twrp 2.6.0.0. You should be able to restore the nandroids you made if you choose to use twrp 2.5.0.2.
*First check the md5 of whatever rom your going to flash. Then follow these steps.*
1. Format system, data, cache and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom.
3. If rom contains firmware update (i.e. a new kernel, or modem etc. ) then fix permissions.
4. Reboot

I downloaded a MD5 checker and they are not the same. What is suggested in this scenario? Please see attached. I have stopped at this point. So I don't mess anything up

Thats the md5 of a data partition from a backup. I meant check the md5 of whatever rom you were going to flash. Don't worry about the md5 of your nandroids for now.

wiped all still says fail...
had to change out my memory card and it did same method and it worked. My other memory card is format fat32 and the 64 is extFAT is there a way to get my phone to read that? when i insert it it says damaged or format. I have formatted it 3 times. Works in computer not in phone. I can mount it after and you can use it but I could not flash a rom from it.

Okay, let me rephrase that. Read the directions posted by the developer of whatever rom your to flash. If there aren't any instructions, you shoudl post asking the dev. But if you know what your doing you're going to be ok, in general only wipe the system parition if you know the rom that you're installing is already pre-rooted. You mentioned you wanted to install the stock root deodex VRUAME7 rom made by andybones. That rom is pre-rooted. Just don't install an OTA.

Where does it say fail at? What does the message say? Put the rom on your sdcard instead. If not then go to advanced>>copy log to sdcard then send it to me.

Got the rom installed had to change the card out to my old card which is fat32 not extFAT. As soon as I did that it flashed with no problems. Thanks for all your help. Question though I have a 64gb sdhc card that is formatted in extFAT but the phone picks it up as damaged but you can look under storage and mount it and it will show 64gb.... this was also the case last night when I was trying to install the rom. I have seen a lot of people saying the s4 is having problems reading extFAT so I was gonna format it to fat32 but when I do I lose half of the 64gb card. Do you know of any solutions for this? I would rather have extFAT for bigger file transfer but at this point I just want 64gb of storage lol. Thanks again for answering all my questions these last few days.
