[Q] custom ROM for gt-s5830i

I have bought a galaxy ace and unfortunately it is gt-s5830i which hasn't got any custom roms till now as far as I know isn't there anything that be done to overclock this phone over 832mhz. ickyyy wrote that we can use the roms of galaxy y but it would have some bugs such as camera would not work. ickyyy if you are reading then please help me I can bare some bugs but I am mainly excited to overclock my phone. In one of your posts I found the clockmodrecovery and have backed up my phone please can you suggest me that whether should I use a ROM of galaxy y and if the bugs are too much for me can I restore my phone (as it is my first Android and I have bought it 3 Weeks before and haven't used Odin etc).
Also it would be a great help if you tell me or just give a link to the full and the easiest easiest way of flashing.

My advice is don't risk to flash ROM's for galaxy Y.It has the same hardware,however it's not 100% sure that it won't kill your phone.The display resolution is different.It may be posible that you would be able to flash and run it but it has no point.For overclocking you need a custom kernel which.Flashing a kernel for a different device may be very dangerous as it can kill your phone with no chance of reviving it.Just wait some time and there will be custom roms,kernel and everything for s5830i and you'll be able to overclock it.Many people are currently trying to port some ROMs and developing kernels but there are no good developers for this phone yet so it's very hard and slow...don't rush it!Use the stock rom.Samsung must release a new update to optimize applications and the videocore IV so it should give better FPS on games and etc...

hi ickyyy .
where are DEVs . why they dont work on s5830i ?
there are a lot of people waiting for a custom rom for 5830i !!!!
sorry for my english .

[Q] Help Please! SGS2 - ROM - UHLPG

Hey guys, sorry but I cannot seem to find any information on this.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, i9100, and I want to root it.
The problem I am having is that I am a [noob] yes I admitted it, but I cannot seem to find the ROM for my device.
I attached a screenshot of my device's about section.
Now I know that the steps are to use ODIN, and then download a CF root, but I can't seem to find my ROM. I am from an island called Trinidad & Tobago (Caribbean) and I have updated my device to ICS.
Can anyone please explain to me, what the hell do I have to do to root this device? I want to install a custom rom, if anyone can vouch for a nice smooth rom that looks great!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
ZetaJynx!

This method needs to have an external card to your sii. Put the files both in external and internal card too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

Now if u want to install a custom rom install first a custom kernel for samsung ics 4.0.3 (not aokp aosp) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702166 and after install rom. U can do this using the temporary cwm u downloaded before. Is the safest way this because custom kernels had injected cwm and not using temporary cwm. Read well the instructions of the developer before installing , also check before installing a custom rom if it has a safe kernel because excists a brick bug at samsung roms 4.0.4 and +.

[Q] How to Root Samsung Galaxy S 4G and Install Jelly Bean 4.3 (CyanoGenMod)

Hi Guys,
I am an IT person, but totally new to Android. I am having Samsung Galaxy S 4G (T959v) running GingerBread (2.3.6).
I had upgraded from Froyo to GingerBread using Kies mini... and since that I am facing a lot of issues running... like slow responsiveness, phone hangs, some times unable to make calls, very high RAM usage etc...
So to fix these issues, I am thinking to install custom ROM (Jelly Bean 4.3 - CyanogenMod 10.2). But I don't know how to do that.
What I read on thread is it first needs to ROOT the device, but I am not sure how to ROOT the device.
Please help me to ROOT the device in easy steps and install custom ROM.. (Off course without bricking my device )
Thanks.

Look at the second link in my signature. Instead of flashing the whole package just flash AntonX's kernel. Read the first couple of posts in the Heimdal thread and you will hopefully know what I am referring to.
From there, follow the directions in the OP of the ROM thread that you would like to flash. The OP will also tell you what works and does not work for that ROM.

I would suggest making a backup copy of your efs folder for the just in case..

[Q] Newbie Questions

hi i'm a samsung galaxy ace plus s7500 user with gingerbread 2.3.6 OS
i have a few questions and i hope all of experts,forums members and anyone can help me
the questions;
1. i plan to upgrade my phone OS from gingerbread 2.3.6 to anything upgraded OS that suitable,how i 'm gonaa do it ?:
a) do i have to used a custom ROM?
b) does the modification can affect overall system?
c) what is the pro and cont of using it?
i hope all the experts,forums member and anyone can teach me step by step about this thing and i pray that god bless all of you..
please help me

to do that you must flash a custom rom since gingerbread is the latest official rom exists.
to flash a custom rom you just follow the guide in general section (procedure is root your phone -> flash a custom recovery -> flash custom rom through recovery)
by overall system what do you mean? you can overclock(increase processor speed and such), by using a custom rom most of the time you'll have more free RAM since the official rom you're using has a lot of processes you don't need running in the background.
pros - much faster phone, you can install stuff that only works on newer versions of OS (such as google chrome and root only applications)
cons - if you choose an unstable rom it might have bugs, either way known bugs should be posted in the thread,
you can brick your phone if you do something wrong (although most of the time fixable but requires much effort from your side)
and you need to learn the process and what you're actually doing.
good luck im no expert but I flashed a few roms on my ace plus.

How to root my Samsung J1 (2016) SM-J120FN

Hi.
I've tried some method to root my SM-J120FN but it always does not work . Someone can help me stepby step, please? I'me a newbie...
Thanks a lot!

how i fixed is i followed the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lmnnDlPclM and after i flashed the file on odin i downloaded kingo root for pc cause kingoroot apk wont work https://www.kingoapp.com/

I have sm120fn and I rooted the phone following the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...overy-twrp-3-0-2-0-samsung-galaxy-j1-t3444010
I did it easily. You find instructions in the post.
Zero problems

ROM-s and development of the Samsung Galaxy sm-j120fn model
Is it possible for someone to create a custom ROM for this model?
I bring all similar but not fully compatible custom ROMs for sm-J120f, they do work but some things do not.
And I also bring the page with the latest original stock ROMs:
Here you can find ROM-s and many tweaks customized for the 120f model (I think its not difficult to customize them for this model):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...roid-5-1-1-t3493590/post73801916#post73801916
Or if it is possible to adjust this karnel for 120fn or at least OTG tweaks I would be extremely grateful :fingers-crossed::
