This tutorial is ONLY intended for NEWBIE Like ME, Who don't Know How to Run Android on X1 at first place
I'm not Pro on Andoid Stuff + This is my First Guide on XDA.
And I'm Not Use English as my daily Language
So If there is Any Mistakes Please Tell me
Any Suggesstions & Critics are wellcomed
Mods Please delete my Thread if it's posted Already
THANKS ​
Please Note that Android for X1 is Still in Delvelopment state..
So there Might be some non working camera, Bluetooth, GPS, Apps, etc...
But Hei..... we Run Android On Our Winmo Device
So.. Use it at Your Own Risk
OK Let's Begin
Currently, We Run Android From SD Card by Run Haret.exe
Just wait and see untill Developers Create a Pefect Android Build for Us
Then Maybe we will able to Flash it to our Phone to replace Winmo
Basicly There is two type of Android Build For X1
at least for Now. Next?? Who Know
1. Fat32 Build
This is old method to Run android on our device
+ No need to create partition on SD Card.
+ No need to install andoid, just copy files to SD Card then Run Haret.exe
- It's slower Android build
Main Files on Fat32 Build may Looks like this
Some of Fat32 Build:
- [F1 Froyo 2.2.2 V3][FAT32]
- Xperia-Xdandroid-X1 2.2.1 25.11,Fatsal-xperoid 2.0.1 25.11,Hero Sense UI 2.1 25.11
Fat32 Build Installation:
1. Download Android & Unzip
2. Copy All Files to Root of SD Card
3. Run Haret.exe
Simple right ​
2. EXT2 Build (introduced by Neopeek)
it's usually faster than Fat32 Build
- Need to Create EXT2 Partition
- Need to install Android before run Haret.exe
+ Android run Stable, Faster & Smoother!!!!. <<== This is what we Need
Main Files on EXT2 Build may Looks like this
Some of EXT2 Build:
- CM Modded V.2 [26.1 FPS] - HoneyComb Froyo V.2 - PureFroyo - SupeFroyo Modded by Needo
- (◣_◢)CyanogenMod 6.1(◣_◢)v1.5
- F1 Froyo 2.2.2 V3 by Faryaab
EXT2 Build Installation:
1. Create EXT2 Partition on SD Card (Explained Later)
2. Download Android & Unzip
3. Copy All Files to Root of SD Card
4. Install Android by Run install.exe from npkinstall Folder
You will see alot of text running there..
Just wait until it's Done
Then your phone will reboot to Winmo​5. Run Haret.exe from Root of SD Card to Run Android​
3. ClockWorkMod [CWM] Build (introduced by Neopeek)
Refer Here for CWM Update
Currently, This is Best method to Run android on our device
- Need to Create 4 Partition on SDCard [Fat32 & 3 ext2 Partition]
+ Easy to install & Change to another Android
+ Android run Stable, Faster & Smoother!!!! than any Fat32 or EXT2 Method
+ Easy doing a wipe, cleaning cache, (re)formatting sd-card
+ Easy adding/update files on ROM even after installing android & More
+ Superuser & adsblocker working perectly
+ Enable to mount system as writable
Profits for Developers
+ No need to play around with rootfs any more.
+ Android system structure is now 99% native android compatible. Meaning that rom devs simply work with the /system folder.
+ ROM installation / update is done via ZIP files as on native android devices. No tgz, tar.gz or ext2 files any more!
Main Files on ClockWorkMod [CWM] Build may Looks like this
Some of CWM Build:
- [X1][CWM] TouchWiz CM6.1[21.04.2011]
- [ROM] x1 - HoneyComb V2 - ClockworkMod - 20/04
- [ROM] Xperia1 FRX06 V.2-CWM (07.05.2011)
ClockWorkMod [CWM] Build Installation:
Preparation:
1. Create Fat32 & 3 EXT2 Partition on SD Card (Explained Later)
2. Download Neopeek's CWM
3. Copy npkboot folder on Root SD
4. Get kernel, ts-calibration & startup.txt for X1 then copy to npkboot folder
5. Download Android CWM compartible & copy Zip ROM on Root SD
Launch CWM & Android Installation
1. Run HARET, wait until it ask to press "Volume Down"
2. Press "Volume Down" shortly to Launch CWM
3. Go to "install zip from sd card" to install Android
- Use D-Pad or volume Button to navigate
- Press D-pad Button Down to Confirm​4. Choose your android rom (zip file) that you want to install then click "yes"
5. When installation finish, go to CWM main menu & Choose Reboot
To Run Android just run Haret.exe from npkboot folder and wait as usual

Video Guide to Create EXT2 Partition
INFO:
- You have to define the sizes of the partitions so that the FAT32 is the Largest, EXT2 is Smaller, and linuxswap is 64
- Fat32 Act As SD Card on Android
- EXT2 Act As Phone Memory. EXT2 Partition only mountable on Linux
- Linux Swap is like an extra RAM on the memorycard so you can run more apps at the same time. more info see here
- Under windows, Only the Fat32 Partition will show as mountable, but in minitool partition manager, it will show all 3 partitions..​

Android Buttons Layout
* X Panel Button = Home Button
* OK Button = Back Button
* Left Softkey = Menu Button
* Right Softkey = Standby & Lock Button
* Call Button = Dialer Button
* Call End Button = Standby & Lock Button
* Volume Buttons = Volume Buttons
* Power Button = Standby & Lock Button

What to do when First Time Run Android?
*Note: Android may run Slower on first Run
1. Do some important Settings
- Set your APN if it not Automatic detected
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Network.
Enable "data enable"
Set your APN at "Access Point Names" then Add "New Apn"
if you don't how to do it use APN apps such as
Apn Droid or Asisten APN(indonesian User Only)​- Syncronize to Google Account
Go to Settings > accounts & Sync. then add Account​- Sparepart App (install if it's not included in your Build)
Open Sparepart App, go to end button behaviour.
Set to "Nothing" or "Go to home" (prefered)​- Display setting
Go to setting > Display.
Disable auto-rotate screen
Animation set to "no Animation" (Speed up Android)
Reduce Brightness (save battery Life)​- Application Setting
Enable Unknown source to allow installation of non-market apps
Go to Settings > Application​- Disable GPS if you are not using it (recomended to save battery life)
Go to Settings > Location & security. Disable Use GPS satelites​- Other settings please refer to Your Android developer in his Thread
2. Open All Application such as 3D gallery, Music, etc. Let Apps load data's
3. Reboot.. Then Android will Run Faster.​
Kernel
If you have problem with Wifi, Battery, etc on Android Build, First try to change kernel..
What are kernels?
You can compare the kernels to the drivers from your computer. They can ensure that your WIFI work or that the camera from phone doesn’t work.
jwte said:
A kernel isn't just drivers, it's the OS but without any apps or anything else that you need. And modulesxxxxxxx.tar.gz are usually drivers that you can hook up to the kernel and it better to have buggy drivers in a module so you can restart for example the keyboard driver without need to restart the OS (kernel) and Android.

Click to collapse
What files are the kernels?
The kernels are named by “modulesxxxxxx.tar.gz” and “zImage”
Credit goes to: Great_Day
How to Change Kernel?
1. Delete Your Current “modulesxxxxxx.tar.gz” and “zImage” from Root of SD Card
2. Replace with the New One then Run Haret.exe

Nice tutor, but I can't sent you "Cendol" here.

is there anyone running any android build on the Dynamics ROMs? since when i flash this ROM i couldn't enter any haret.exe when i press it the loading window opens and right before the 2 vibrations everything stops (it doesnt even vibrate once) anyone knows the solution, can HaRET have problem with Dynamic ROMs only
i have 8GB SDHC and tested with both old EXT2 and CWM formatings
my Radio version is the normal one
i put everything in the root of SD card

here the answer:
Needo said:
dynamics rom is Overclocked by default and haret can't boot your phone in linux while phone is O/C in WinMo ..
So ..
1- You can run android using Applications\Android & OC will be disabled automatically ..
(you can use it if the haret.exe is present in root SD)
2- Or you can use the .cap ultrashot provided to disable overclocking permanently ...
3- Or just click this ..
( \Application Data\OC_disable.lnk ) & it will be disabled temporally (till the next restart) ..
4- Or you can simply use WinmoSpeed to control CPU speed (set it to defualt) ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Needo said:
if this problem is still present .. make sure that android O/C isn't more than 614 mhz .. some processors can't boot in linux with higher values !
Open startup.txt & if you found O/C command like that
( acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=652000 )
just change the value to 614000 ...
& Hope this can help you enjoying android on your phone

Nice, that u added the CWM.
So i just got one Question, whats about bigger SD Card?
How would u suggest to split the SD if i got f.e. 8 gb or even 16 or more?
if i had the space is there any reason why i could give the Cache much more storage?
As far as i cann see, the Rom always just use as much as it need never more?
So but whats about the Data?
Isnt it where me ROMS going to be stored? So it would be smart to make this bigger when i want to use a lot of Roms?
And the FAT is just for thinks i want on Wimo ( if i want to xD) and such kind of datas like music and so on?
So i would be realy happy if u could explaint thoose thinks,
but by the way this guide is very nice, AND easy to use, so

[ROM] CyanogenMod 6.1 V1 - CWM - 23-04

Hi every one! I give you another good build. It repark from CM Modded Build V.2 by needo, and work with ClockworkMod, so here is the build:
I. Download needed file:
1. CyanogenMod 6.1 V1 - CWM - 23-04.zip
http://www.multiupload.com/QQF81OD7IE
2. npkboot-cwm-v15-x1-monsterKernel.rar
http://www.multiupload.com/R4A7PJE00T
II. before install :
1. Format your sdcard make 4 Partition with recommended size:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / about 150MB -> depends on the build )
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 250MB)
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 50MB)
Be sure make all 4 partition primary
2. extract and copy folder npkboot to root of sdcard.
3. Copy Rom ( zip file , don't extract) in to root of sdcard.
III. Install:
1. run Haret, and wait when it will be asked to press "Volume Down" shortly (!!important!! shortly) to launch ClockworkMod Recovery or any other key to usually continue booting into Android.
Press volume Down and wait for menu Recovery.
2. In menu recovery choose "install zip from sd-card" choose zip from sdcard and select "CyanogenMod 6.1 V1 - CWM - 23-04.zip" . Confirm instalation then reboot system.
4. Run HARET again and press any key (except Volume keys) to continue booting into Android.
Tips:
First boot :
*Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > User interface > tweaks extra > load theme > choose CM 6.1 white
- This will change the status bar text colour to white ...
*Launcher settings > change theme > choose the gre theme ...
*disable data transfer
*disable auto-rotate screen
- Android won't performing very well at first running hours, if you have many media files (pic,videos..) .. system will be busy searching for these files & creating thumbnails for them ... the time for that is depending on the quantity of the media on the SD card ..
UPDATE:
- If you can't boot to android, try change modules to Turbo kernel and reinstall.
- If you want stop problem key freeze, download kernel with keyboard as modules and follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11808067&postcount=2 how to do ^^!
- For better batterry, download and install SetCPU, then custom it yourself !
- For better speed install ADW Laucher ^^!
Thanks to Neopeek, needo and other developers !
I have done:
- Everything copied to SD following the how to.
- [2011-04-18] FRX06 [CWM] worked, but this rom doesn't work
- Formated ext2 partitions to erease the old rom.
- Using Duckly's Kernel [Turbo Kernel] WITH KEYPAD DRIVERS AS MODULES
Problem:
I can run haret but when I have to click vol down it doesn't launch the recovery mode. it wants to continue.
With the FRX06 it worked but now it doesn't work
BTW: the hyperlink after "Update:" isn't working
Hope you can help me
EDIT: Changing Kernel to Duckly's Kernel [Turbo Kernel] [25-3-2011] WITH KEYPAD DRIVERS NOT AS MODULES has solved my problem.
Is there a way to use the Kernel with keypad drivers as modules?

I see, your problem is monster kernel not work with your phone, and when you change it to Turbo kernel it work ^^!
FOr use kernel with kaypad as modules, please read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11808067&postcount=2
First: boot to android, then install autostart.apk and GScript.apk.
next: open terminal , remove modules and copy autostart.sh like that thread write. then open GScript and add script like that thread write.
next: reboot to winmobile, copy Turbo Kernel with keypad as modules to your sdcard/npkboot folder, replace the old file in there.
Final: boot to android, then make a shotcut GScript in home screen, when keypad die, just open the shotcut and it will work again.
Hope it have you
I see, your problem is monster kernel not work with your phone, and when you change it to Turbo kernel it work ^^!

I have never used Monster Kernel because I think it needs more battery than the Turbo kernel so I changed it to the Turbo Kernel.
After adding "ts-calibration"-file to the npkboot folder, it is starting now
*Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > User interface > tweaks extra > load theme > choose CM 6.1 white
- This will change the status bar text colour to white ...
Click to expand...

There is no "CM 6.1 white" (CMTheme folder is empty) but the "STOCK_Black" makes the clock visible (status bar still black). Finaly I copied the "CM 6.1 white"-file from the EXT2 version.

[S5830 + B/D/L/T ONLY] A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace

Note: CyanogenMod 7 Official Support is HERE
Note 2: THIS THREAD IS FOR THE SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE S5830/S5830B/S5830D/S5830L/S5830T ONLY. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE S5830i/C/M
This serves as a warning and guide to all the new users in the Galaxy Ace XDA forums .
Samsung Kies is Samsung's version of iTunes . It allows you to sync all your stuff and back them up in case of phone problems .
But there's one thing Samsung forgot about: Memory optimisation . Kies requires at least 1.5GB of system memory . Even iTunes handles memory better than Kies.....
As a result , many users brick their Aces because they use Kies to update their phone and Kies suddenly stops responding because of RAM .
EDIT: I am not so sure now because some users have successfully updated their devices with Kies .
ROM Manager is a manager for Clockworkmod Recovery , which saves time because you don't have to reboot to recovery .
People, don't use ROM Manager for your own good......
You can also use CWM Manager , which is included in most custom ROMs .
Clockworkmod Recovery supports Galaxy Ace with many versions (with the official one being v4.0.0.9) .
The unofficial versions are v3.2.0.1 (if I'm not wrong) , v5.2.0.3 and v5.2.0.6 .
Edit: WITH CF-ROOT , BUSYBOX is BULLETPROOF
Another note about UNLOCKING YOUR PHONE by consegregate:
consegregate said:
Unlocking is an extremely risky process which touches your efs folder. Your IMEI can be wiped if you do a wrong step and that's the end of your road in the android conquest. Many of us have fallen to the enticing prospect of unlocking where the phone gets out of the box and poof goes back in again in no time.
SO, until we can backup the IMEI, try not to unlock using unorthodox methods. It may work for some, but for most of you you'll be left with ****ty phones because you can't read and follow instructions. So until then, please don't post "bricked mai phone help plz" because if it was because of unlocking, we may not be able to help you.
Lastly, USE THE SEARCH TOOL. AIN'T THERE FOR NOTHING! Cheers, all you sad faces.

A view about this tutorial by Ardentfaith:
Ardentfaith said:
Okay first off, the tutorial is wrong.
I have a USA Samsung Galaxy ACE
WHAT MOST PPL WANT TO DO:
1) root phone 2) have an escape plan when it fails.
Let's work on the escape plan.
Make sure you use Samsung KIES to update to the latest version of Android Gingerbread. Why? You could go to samfirmware to get a firmware and then download odin to flash it but why? You want to BAckup an ORIGINAL working rom.
Now you have Gingerbread. You want a backup. Search for chinoray and clockwordmodace.zip. This'll give you the backup program (a.k.a Clockworkmod Recovery) so you can do a recovery no matter what. (Press home and power to boot into recovery mode. there's an option to install from a zip. Install chinoray's file)
Now backup. Remember to put the backupfile that's made in 2 other places. Your sdcard isn't exactly a bank.
Now you want to root. Do the same recovery thing with a file from davebyone called Acegingerroot.zip. That roots it to an english brazil portuguese kp7 thingie. It's just fastest way to root. You'll have superuser app on now. congrats.
Now what to do with root? Your ace has very little memory. You need to extend the internal app storage to the sd card. The FIRST thing you need to do is go back to Clockworkmod recovery mode and partition your sdcard so that it has a ext4 extension. Then update from ketut.kumajaya's post with cf-rootdtapps2sd???.zip(forgot the full name). That defaults all downloaded apps to run from the sd card.
--Or you can ignore all this and do the chainfire post cf-root guide but ket's modifications are more hassle free.
so now you have a rooted Samsung ACE running Gingerbread running Touchwiz with apps running off the SD card.
There's not a good rom out for Samsung ACE anyways. You might as well stick to this for now.

Here's a little guide on how to flash a ROM via ODIN by me:
Requirements:
- A Windows computer
- A Galaxy Ace plugged into the computer via USB
- You must have ODIN installed , duh !
- (Windows Vista/7 compulsory) Running ODIN with Administrative rights:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Ended KIES via Task manager:
Instructions:
1 - Download your favourite firmware here
2 - Extract the .rar out using WinRAR or 7zip (password is samfirmware.com)
3 - Check if it's a FULL package or ONE package:
FULL Package instructions:
1 - Open up ODIN (MAKE SURE ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)
2 - Set your phone in Download Mode (Home + Power + Volume Down)
3 - Once you have correctly entered Download Mode and plugged in , this should appear in ODIN:
4 - Place the files in this order:
OPS - Select the file named Cooper_v1.0.ops (or anything like that)
BOOT - Select the file named "APBOOT_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5"
where "xxxxx" = Your firmware version
Phone - Select the file named "CODE_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5"
where xxxxx = firmware version
PDA - DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING
CSC - Select the file named "GT-S5830-MULTI-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5"
where "xxxxxx" = the CSC region
EFS - Select the file named "MODEM_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03.tar.md5"
xxxxx = firmware version (Be VERY VERY careful with this EFS part)
After you're done , click on "Start" and let the magic reveal itself slowly......
ONE Package method:
1 - Open up ODIN
2 - Set your phone in Download Mode while plugged into USB
3 - Tick the option "One Package" in ODIN (Refer to previous ODIN picture)
4 - Select the only .tar.md5 file
Now press start and watch the magic.....
Nice info
Could you add this:
Do not install busybox on custom ROMs because busybox already exist on most custom ROMs, and also stock firmware with CF-Root. If you're already do so, it mean that you're ready to reflash your phone ...or try to remove all files named "busybox" with root explorer then flash CF-Root b79 (then flash b80 for KPN users)
Ya you are right when I am new for galaxy ace I Install rom manager and while taking backup through it my phone suddently off and not start not even in downloading mode. Means it breaked. But thanks god it repaired by samsung service senter. So not install that app.

Q0: What is root? What advantages can it do to my phone?
A0: "Rooting" your phone is the process of allowing Superuser access to your phone (a.k.a su or sudo access) , thus opening up system files to the user .
This is usually needed/done by custom ROMs .
More info can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android_OS)
"Rooting is a process that allows users of mobile phones and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's Linux subsystem with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and manufacturers put on some devices. It is analogous to jailbreaking on devices running the Apple iOS operating system."
Q1: What is a custom ROM? What to can it do to my phone?
A1: A custom ROM can be either:
- Modifications to the official company ROMs (a.k.a Stock ROMs) , which increases its speed and stability compared to original Stock ROMs .
These ROMs include:
-Blackhawk (by ketut.kumajaya)
-Fla.sh (by fla.sh) (No Support Available anymore , therefore no link)
-Sangingerace and Persian Gulf (by sasanekabaran)
-The BehradGH ROM series (by BehradGH):
-BehradGH ROM Series KPB
-BehradGH ROM Series KPN/KPH
-BehradGH ROM Series KP9
-NoName (by an0nym0us_)
-My-UI (by jusada)
-GingerReal (by redmaner and MuayThaiFighter08 (I think , sorry if I got it wrong !) )
-FirstUA (by Grif_07)
-Glsmt (by sametpoyraz)
-TheMyth (by devilsking) (Thread Closed)
-Blockbuster ROM Goes Ace
-Mush69ROM (Thread Closed)
-TurboBlue (by tazlooney89)
There are other ROMs that do not use Stock ROMs and are built from scratch by these AWESOME people:
-AOSP 2.3.7 (A work-in-progress by me , fla.sh , Jekle_Ace and consegregate)
-Grif_07's CM7.1 BETA-Kang 2.3.5
-BehradGH CyanoAce CM7.1 RC1 2.3.5
-Infinity ROM (Based on CM7.2 by nims11)
-Infinity ROM (Based on CM7.1 by nims11)
-Gingercruzt (Based on CM7.2 by nims11)
-Touchwiz4 Style CM7.2 ROM (by slaid480)
-HaniMod*LiteStar (By sasanekabaran)
-Icecream Sunday & Speed Blur (by jusada)
-Cre.ActiveX (CM7.1 by saigetshu)
That is all you actually need to know
Q2: What's Recovery Mode? What is Download Mode? What are the different "Modes" that my phone can go into?
A2: Recovery Mode is a place where you go to if your phone is ever "stuck" or in a "bootloop" if you installed a ROM wrongly .
The stock recovery mode can't do much and therefore if you want better advantages such as:
-Backing up your current ROM and data
-Fixing Force Close Permissions
-Wiping your Dalvik-Cache
-Wiping Battery Stats (if your battery meter is jumpy , like all custom Stock ROMs)
-Install unsigned .zip files
-Formatting various parts of your internal memory (/system , /data etc)
-Mount USB Storage in Recovery Mode
The only thing you can do is use CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY
For Download Mode , it is a Samsung-exclusive feature that allows you to "Download" custom stock ROM files into your phone .
It works like a normal install in ClockWorkMod Recovery (a.k.a CWM) , except that it automates everything (wiping data , wiping system stuff)
These are possible modes which you can use to enter different places (for advanced people only):
Home + Power = Recovery Mode (whether stock or CWM)
Home + Volume Down + Power = Download Mode (normal)
Home + Volume Up + Power = ARMv9 Dump Mode
Home + Volume Down + Volume Up + Power = Download Mode (EMERGENCY)
Q2.5: What is ClockworkMod Recovery? How do I use it?
A2.5: ClockworkMod Recovery is one of the best custom recoveries out there and was made by the AWESOME koush
Here's how you use it by devilcode:
devilcode said:
There you go.... not from v4.0.0.9 but its of a old version but will give you and idea or to anyone else .. will not post a link to some other site so just posting the explaination here
Options explained
1. reboot system now
This one is self-explanatory.
Reboots the phone.
2. apply update from sdcard
This can be used for installation of any official or unofficial update, ROM, kernel, theme etc. that is in a zip format installable from recovery, as long as the file is named update.zip and it has been placed on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any sub-folder). Selecting this option (and most of the options featured below) will bring up a rather annoying confirmation prompt but this has saved us on multiple occasions from a lot of trouble we would have been into due to accidental key presses.
3. wipe data/factory reset
This option wipes all user data on the device as well as cache. Doing this will leave your phone in the state it was in when you bought it or when any custom ROM was first installed. It will also wipe any sd-ext partition that you might have set up.
4. wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
5. install zip from sdcard
This option brings up the following sub-menu:
A. apply /sdcard/update.zip
This one is essentially the same as the ‘apply update from sdcard’ option of the main menu.
B. choose zip from sdcard
Lets you install any zip file (with any name) from any location on your SD card. The file can be for a ROM, a kernel, an application, a theme or any mod as long as it is in recovery-flashable zip format. This is the most widely used option for installing a ROM that you have downloaded and copied to your SD card. Entering this option will bring up a screen that will allow you to browse your SD card for the zip file and select it for installation
C. toggle signature verification
Turns the signature verification on and off. When signature verification is on, you will not be able to install any custom ROMs that haven’t been signed by the developers (most custom ROMs aren’t signed). Switching it off skips the signature verification check and proceeds with the installation.
D. toggle script asserts
Seldom-used option for a vast majority of users. It simply turns script asserts on or off. If you don’t know about these (i don’t), it’s best not to change this option. (For advanced users ONLY)
E. +++++Go Back+++++
Takes you back to the main recovery menu, obviously!
6. backup and restore
Undoubtedly one of the most important features provided by a custom recovery, the backup and restore feature – also known as Nandroid backup – allows you to take a backup of your phone’s entire internal memory including all partitions, and save it on the SD card.
A. Backup
Takes a Nandroid backup, as explained above.
B. Restore
Lets you restore a previously taken backup. Entering this option presents you with a list of existing backups from the SD card that you can choose from for restoration.
C. Advanced Restore
This option is similar to the Restore option but once a backup has been selected to be restored, this option allows you to choose what parts of it to restore. You can choose to restore the boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext partitions.
7. mounts and storage
Allows you to perform maintenance tasks on all the internal and external partitions of your android device.
A. mount/unmount /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard or /sd-ext
These options let you toggle between mounting or unmounting these respective partitions. Most Galaxy Ace users need to mount /system and /data for ROM installations
B. format boot, system, data, cache, sdcard or sd-ext
These let you directly format any of these partitions. Take extreme care with this option as formatting any of these partitions will result in losing all data on them, especially the boot and system partitions. Formatting the system partition will remove your ROM and leave your phone without an operating system while wiping the boot partition may brick your phone unless you restore or flash another one before rebooting your device.
What's lucky is that Galaxy Ace users don't have the option to format the boot partitions.
C. mount USB storage
Lets you enable USB mass storage mode for your SD card right from recovery so that you can connect it to your computer via USB and transfer any files to/from it without having to leave recovery.
8. advanced
This section contains a few options most users will not require, though these can come handy quite often, especially wiping Dalvik cache, which is required before most ROM installations. Here are the options from this section:
A. Reboot Recovery
Lets you directly and very conveniently reboot from recovery right back into recovery. This is a useful option for certain back-to-back installations that require the device to at least boot once between them OR installing another version of CWM (like v5.2.0.6).
B. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
C. Wipe Battery Stats
Wipes the saved battery usage statistics and effectively recalibrates the battery. Useful in various scenarios when Android isn’t showing correct battery levels.
*This style of wiping battery stats is no longer useful*
D. Report Error
In case of errors, this feature can be used to save a log of recent ClockworkMod recovery operations on the SD card that you can later report from Android using ROM Manager.
E. Key Test
Lets you press any of the hardware keys to see if they are properly functioning, and to see their key codes.
F. Partition SD Card
This option gives you a no-frills way to partition your SD card properly for use with ROMs that supports a2sd (a hack that moves entire applications to the SDcard). Once this option is selected, you will be given options to choose the sizes for the /sd-ext partition as well as an optional /swap partition on the SD card, and will then automatically format it for you, leaving the remaining space for normal SD card usage. This option will wipe all data from your SD card so use it with caution!
G. Fix Permissions
Fixes the file permissions for the internal memory partitions back to default. This is very useful as a fix for several errors and Force-Closes that start appearing after you or an application you installed and provided root access end up messing up the permissions of important files.
Hope it helps :d

It certainly helped my friend
Q3: Help me, my phone is in a bootloop and won't go into the Launcher!
A3: Firstly , define your bootloop:
If you are stuck at the "Galaxy Ace" logo , that means you did not make a factory reset and cache wipe from Recovery Mode . Do that , then reflash and try again .
If it still does not work , your kernel might have a problem because you did not install your kernel properly .
For that I recommend CF-ROOT for Gingerbread and Froyo
However , if your phone is stuck at the bootanimation:
Stuck for more than 10mins and is repeating the animation: You did not flash your ROM properly . Refer to above .
Stuck for less than 10mins and is NOT repeating: I suggest you have some patience
Q4: AHHHHHHHH! I flashed a theme but now my phone is going into force closes and bootloops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A4: You probably flashed a theme that was meant for another firmware version (E.g. flashing a KPH theme into KPO) .
In that case , all you have to do is flash another theme which is for that particular firmware and you're saved
Everytime I flash a theme I will make a backup prior to installing . This ensures that I can restore back if I did something wrong
Q5: Is there any overclock for the Galaxy Ace?
A5: With CF-ROOT 3.7 b83 I can achieve 100% stability with 902Mhz but 10% decrease in battery life :/
Q6: What about Adobe Flash support?
A6: It is only PARTIALLY supported on CyanogenMod 7 , but may work on stock Samsung ROMs if on Cf-root .
It works on the stock browser and Dolphin Browser HD , but does not work on Opera .
Q7: What is Cyanogenmod? Why do so much people love it?
A7: Cyanogenmod is a ROM built from a modified generic AOSP build , which offers faster speed , better stability and even eliminates some problems induced by stock ROMs (i.e. In our case , the Sleep of Death a.k.a SoD) .
This ROM was made by none other than the legendary Cyanogen .
This makes the phone fast , stable and yet problem-free .
however , CM7 for the Ace is currently unofficial and in early release candidate and beta versions and is NOT recommended for newbies as they might encounter into problems they might not know how to solve .
Also , the things that were added by Samsung WILL NOT APPEAR in Cyamogenmod 7 .
If you rely on Samsung's additions too much , I suggest that you revert back to stock
Q8: Oh no! My phone is bricked! I accidentally flashed the wrong device in ROM Manager!
A8: Oh no . You might wanna try either:
Method 1:
-Remove the SIM card , SD card and battery from the phone
-Hold Volume Down + Home + Power
-(Optional) Bring it near a heat source .
-While still holding those buttons , place the battery into the phone
-It should go into Download Mode .
-Try to flash a full package file via ODIN and your phone should come back to life .
If that doesn't work , try Method 2:
-Bring the phone to a nearby service center for repair .
Q9: Hello, what's the difference between a full package ROM and a one package ROM?
A9: When you download a ROM from SamMobile , they have all the files in a .rar , the contents of the .rar determine its Package:
A Full Package ROM has quite a few files when the .rar is opened , one of them being a .tar.md5 if I remember correctly .
A One Package ROM only has one .tar file when the .rar archive is opened .

I figured I would post this fix here in case anyone else ran into this problem. This is assuming you did not change the folder names and let Clockworkmod create them. I haven't had it happen until today, but it's not a nice message to see when you are trying to do a restore.
Code:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
To fix this problem use the code below. Substitute the final folder name for the backup you need to fix.
Code:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[I]backupname[/I]
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
When that finishes, re-run the restore and everything should be fine.
NOTE: As rpearl stated, there could be something really wrong with your nandroid, so use this tutorial as a learning experience and not a fix-all. In my case, everything was fine after restoring. However, that may not always be the case. Do this with caution.

A11: Just flash back to DXKC1 (Froyo 2.2.1) or the Gingerbread version for your region , you're bound to fool Samsung
Q12: I have been hearing everyone talk about this file named build.prop. What is that?
A12: Okay, build.prop is the build properties of your current ROM.
I will give more explanation of the different entries as time goes on (LOL).
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse - (0/1) Variable Values.
0: Allows the network power collapse, thus wasting battery
1: Disables the network power collapse, thus saving battery.
ro.ril.hsxpa - (0/1/2/3)Variable values.
0: Disables HSUPA completely.
1: Disables stock HSUPA speeds (speeds capped)
2: Enables stock HSUPA speeds (speeds capped)
3: Enables uncapped HSUPA speeds
Q13: What is CF-ROOT? Is it edible?
A13: LOL no it isn't! CF-ROOT is short for Chainfire-Root (a.k.a Rooting + some tweaks). It has root and installs 3 apps: CWM Manager, Superuser and Tweaks.
CWM Manager is a substitute for ROM Manager and allows:
- Rebooting to recovery
- Backing up using app
- Restore using app
- Deleting backups
- Flashing .zip files
- Flashing zImage kernels (a.k.a CF-ROOT fixes)
The current version is b84, which is only for XWKT5/7 firmwares.
You can use b83, which is the universal CF-ROOT.
Q14: I keep running out of internal memory. Why does this happen? How do I solve it then?
A14: It is because the Galaxy Ace's internal memory is only less than 200MB, therefore too many apps will cause the phone to run out of memory. There are 3 known solutions to that:
1: DarkTremor's Apps2SD (DTA2SD)
- Most commonly used way of moving apps to internal memory
- Has an app for it at the Android Market (A2SDGUI)
- Uses a flashable zip (find it in XDA)
- Easiest to use among the 3
2: link2SD
- Makes use of symbolic links to move apps to the SD-ext partition
- I don't know much about this one
3: S2E (simple2ext)
- An app that's available in the Android Market
- Only for CM7 ROMs and the only one working for Ice Cream Sandwich (by maclaw)
- Hardest to use among the 3
That is all.
Q?: This thread seems inactive! When will you update it?
A?: I will update my thread whenever I want to , once I find new information .
Thank you for reading this thread so that one less Galaxy Ace gets bricked
For me, this should be a sticky post on development.. Maybe you need to request this as sticky post from any MOD and update all about Ace there..

sorry for my english
EmoBoiix3 said:
This serves as a warning to all the new users in the XDA forums .
ROM Manager is a manager for Clockworkmod Recovery , which saves time because you don't have to reboot to recovery .
However , it doesn't support Galaxy Ace yet .
You can probably use CWM Manager instead , which is included in most custom ROMs .
Clockworkmod Recovery , on the other hand , supports Galaxy Ace with many versions (with the official one being v4.0.0.9) .
REMEMBER THIS , DO NOT INSTALL/DOWNLOAD ANYTHING WITH ROM MANAGER . Use Clockworkmod Recovery for Backups , Restoring , Flashing .zip or whatever the Recovery can do .
IF YOU TRY TO INSTALL ANYTHING USING ROM MANAGER YOU MIGHT NEED TO BRING YOUR PHONE AND WARRANTY CARD TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER .

[TUTORIAL] Replace Windows Mobile with Android NAND ROMs

About
This thread contains all the Android NAND development that is going on in different websites like Github.com
The developers are not responsible for any damages happened to your phone in any way so be aware of what you are doing
Note that the development is still in "Beta" state and it has few issues which are still under development, the Android NAND ROMs are almost ready for day to day use
you can always switch back to any windows mobile ROM by flashing the official or a custom windows mobile ROM just like when you had windows mobile using any Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM Update utility or the SD Card (KOVSIMG.nbh) method, as the SPL or windows mobile's bootloader will not be effected
there will be few random screen flashes when the device start even when you shift back to windows mobile but this does not effect the performance of the device in anyway
Your SD Card Android ROMs are not going to be effected but you wont be able to run them unless you re-install Windows Mobile again
below is the list of whats working and not working so far
Working
Phone
SMS
Speaker
LEDs
Bluetooth (beta)
Headphone
Media Playback
Touch Pad
Data connection (GPRS/3G)
Main Camera (Beta)
Hardware acceleration (3D/OpenGL ES) (beta)
USB (beta)
Screen (beta)
Keyboard/Keypad
WiFi (Beta)
Battery Meter (beta)
Battery Charging

Hardware Acceleration bugs
Flash Player support, YouTube HQ Mode support
Front Camera
Main Camera bugs (under development)

WiFi bugs (under development)
WEP connection support
GPS bugs (under development)
Bluetooth bugs (under development)
once turned on, causes rapid battery drain and cant be turned off unless user restart the device
USB bugs
Battery Life (beta)
still not same as Windows mobile
Screen auto rotation bug
rotates to landscape every time user turns the screen off and on
Battery Meter (beta)
inaccurate after certain percentage of battery
Downloads
below is the list of Files which are required
HSPL 0.78 (optional)
Download it from here if you haven't install a Custom ROM before or you are on initial HSPL 0.72
A ROM update utility (optional)
Kovsky Advance ROM update utility is recommended as Its easier to work with, but the official RUU and SD Card method will do the same
Latest Android bootloader
Download the latest bootloader available here
Android Driver and Fastboot
Xperoid installer is recommended as it contains the necessary files of Android SDK only and can do the job automatically,
Latest Android Recovery
Download the latest recovery available here
Latest Android Kernel
Download the latest Kernel available here
An Android ROM
choose and download your favorite Android ROM from here or here
Video
Here is the video of how to install any NAND ROM, lots of steps have changed but the main procedure is the same
PART 1
PART 2
1.HSPL
If you have already installed a custom Windows Mobile ROM and have the 0.78 version skip this part, to know about your SPL version turn off your phone, hold Volume down button and while holding hold the power button till you see the Tri colour screen which is the SPL; If you have Olinex name on any line, you have HSPL,
SPL is like your devices BIOS, and Hard SPL will unlock your devices bootloader to allow you to install any custom made Read only memory (ROM)
to do a HSPL refer to THIS thread
(if you had a problem in performing a HSPL, read the replies at the end of the above thread as there were some users not being able to HSPL the normal way and had to do few other steps)
2.Android BootLoader
Put the .zip ROM you have downloaded in the root of your SD Card before you do anything further; which means put the .Zip file in E:\ROM.zip if your SD Card drive letter is E
HTC Linux LK bootloader allows the device to run the kernel directly after it got turned on
Install it just like the way you install any other Windows Mobile ROM, which is using a RUU or the SD Card method
It is always recommended to do a Task29 before you flash an Android Bootloader if you know how to.
(Kovsky Advance RUU)
3.Kernel
Kernels are like drivers in PC, it connects and manage the hardware of the device
they have to be installed using Fastboot. Fastboot is a command line tool used to directly flash the filesystem in Android devices from a host via USB.
>For Windows users
Extract Xperoid Installer
Rename the Kernel you have downloaded to boot.img, then place it in the Xperoid fastboot folder
Rename the recovery you have downloaded to recovery.img, then place it in the Xperoid fastboot folder
connect your phone and install the drivers from Android USB driver folder
then simply run Xperoid Fastboot installer.bat from the Xperoid fastboot folder
>For Linux based OS users
follow the instruction on This page

5.Recovery
ClockWorkMod Recovery is like the BIOS in PCs, which is the software that can install and manage the device's software
To go into recovery turn on your device and as soon as the phone starts (Sony Ericsson logo stage) hold the Camera Focus button which is holding the Camera button half pressed till recovery starts, (it might take few seconds to load)
once you are in recovery use the touch pad to go up and down, power button to go back and middle button to select trough the menu,
Go to mounts and storage> Format Data
Go to mounts and storage> Format Cache
Go to mounts and storage> Format dalvik cache
go back to main menu
Go to install zip from SDcard
select the file and install it
after installation select restart system now
Remove the SD Card and the battery, put the battery in, turn on the phone and wait till it completely start up
Re enter recovery with SD Card inserted and install the GAPPS
Load the system without SD Card and sync it with your accounts and open all the apps once and then restart again and once you are in android again insert your SD Card
If you are updating your ROM from an earlier version of NAND Android ROM
Download the full wipe script and put it in the root of SD Card
Go to backup and restore
select Backup
go back to main menu
Go to install zip from SDcard
select the full wipe script.zip and install it
go to main menu
Go to install zip from SDcard
select your new ROM and install it
go back to main menu
go to backup and restore
go to Advanced restore
select Restore data
go back to main menu
select restart system now
Recommendations:
Booting with SD Card inserted:
As you might have notice in the guide, the Kernels have a major bug of not being able to boot the ROM with a normally formatted SD Card inside the device. so we have to format the SD card in a special way to bypass this problem
To do so follow this guide
You have to perform these recommended actions for better performance
Back to Windows Mobile:
In order to switch back to any windows mobile ROM, enter the Windows mobile bootloader (SPL) by turning the device on while holding Power and Volume down buttons together, and once you entered SPL simply flash the ROM as you did earlier
It is always recommended again to do a Task29 before and a Hard reset after you installed a Windows Mobile ROM
report back your issues and problems for faster and better ROMs in future.

Task 29
Hey guys,
Just tried to flash the NAND version, but after doing the task 29 I cant reconnect to the PC to flash the other stuff like LK Bootloader etc. All i get is the Sony Ericsson logo at the start of the boot.
How can to get around this?
Thanks in advanced
you must go in bootloader (hold Volume down+power button until you get in the tri-color screen) in order to connect to pc via usb

Hi Guys !
When wallpaper are changed the Android will restart. And sometimes reset when I try to unlock phone.
EDIT:
And when I try to unlock the phone screen will be whole black until the keyboard is opened.
Yes, these problems are kernel related...
Like bad wifi width, no mobile data (can't understand why it isn't included, because it says it is easy to add).
Finally, This sounds great ... finally a NAND build ... following with great excitement ... I'll flash it as soon as I get a chance ... college is keeping me busy ... but I'll try to find time to read and figure it out ...
THANKS SO MUCH
Great
Thanks for the update, very nice build, I hope we can have a fully working android in NAND soon.
Thank you all.

My kernel,xdadnroid based,gpu overclocked,axi&ahb overclocked and ext3 support..
sorry for another question, but does it have the same problems with the batt-meter as XDAndroid kernel??

It's xdandroid based,so yes,it has the same problems
To solve i would need to mess with battery files,but I would probably break compatibility with other phones..

Could be doable,but I don't have a lot of kernel developement and C knowledge,could take a while,and for a while i mean,a lot..
I only get to the Line:
init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2
but i'm pretty sure, that I set up the file system structure correct... any ideas?

thank you ^^ actually i didn't noticed the moment when i had to press the volume-down button... thought there would be some kind of delay... also text size on xperia is sooo tiny ^^ but managed it now... so problem solved
Edit: Already another one... trying to flash the GAPPS.zip, it responds: can't find keys (or Cant Open /sdcard/GAPPS.zip (bad))
already downloaded it again and copied several times to the phone to check the size... but the phone won't let me flash the Gapps...
anyone?
This build should be fast, right?
So far a great build!!! BUT.
My quadrant score was only 365. It seems a bit low. I tried to use the app setcpu but it crashed consequently. In the Sensedroid v.9. there were no problems at all setting the max. speed. How can this be solved?
Hello jerrytan,
all your versions of Android is the best, but I have the same problem with all ...
by incoming calls will not hear anything ....
you have any solution?

why is ext3 build way faster than ext2 build?
iirc, the difference between ext2 and ext3 is journaling, and until now i think because ext3 use journaling so ext3 slower than ext2 (but ext3 'safer' than ext2).
Can you explain this, I'm confused

Don't ask me why,ext3 makes benchmark crazy,Neocore was good and smooth,the result was 15 fps here...
The UI and the performance is faster,and benchmark aren't important..

Well,even on my pc ext3 is way faster than ext2,and ext4 is faster than both.
Journaling improves performance,improves safety but on sd-card isn't the best choice since it may kill the sd before than ext2,but no one has ever reported "My SD has died"..
Installed Midnight´s kernel and yes it worked. Could Setcpu to 633 Mgh. Had no effect on the score in quadrant, still around 350.
By the way i noticed that playing music there is only mono not stereo. Any idea to fix this!?
fabulioussssss,tnx dear friend for ur new work,I should try it soon....

[EXT3] MiDroid V1 [20/2/12]

Hey guys, after making 4 themed Android ROMs, this time I try to port MIUI stuff into the ROM, I call it MiDroid.
What is MIUI? MIUI features a heavily-modified user interface that does away with the Android app drawer and having a very similar iOS UI look.
MiDroid having lots of apps and stuff from MIUI rom, and I had also include some Market apps to enhance your experience with MIUI build.
Direct ported apps from MIUI:
1. Analog clock
2. Browser
3. Digital Weather Clock
4. Gallery
5. Launcher
6. Music
Market apps with MIUI style:
1. EX Dialer (Smarter contact and dialer integration)
2. Go SMS Pro (Similar interface with MIUI)

- FULL Arabic support
- Fully call function ( Call and Receive )
- Able to install any apps (Won't show you 'Not Compatible')
- MIUI launcher and other apps ported from MIUI
- Launcher having lots of themes which are downloadable from internet
*For your information:
- Youtube can only play non-HQ video
- System will be slower when first time boot into Android:
--> Open all apps, sync your phone with Google, then reboot your phone
- There are two different system format for this build (EXT2 / EXT3), choose your desire format

Yes.. charging issue had been fixed by using Midnight's kernel..
If not mistaken WiFi issue also had fixed in midnight's kernel as well
I can't install this rom, I installed from Sd card, then run haret again and it can't start to Android, it just reset. I'm using energy 2.5 rom

This issue happened to me so many times,but it gone away now...
what kernel are u using??I think It's B coz of CPU overclocking,ur kernel may not work with all kovsky devices b coz f overclock, try to change the overclocking value in startup.txt ..
PS:I suggest u to use a lighter build like 826X,It's really fast and stable,I'm using it for more than 2 years,I know energy ROMs have so many cool apps,But if u really need a special app u can install it urself.....
Updated new link to high speed ftp server..
I have this problem with camera (attachment).
Can i fix it somehow? A kernel change?
And the Wi-Fi - i've followed the instruction, Wi-Fi was okey on MIUI,
but is it temporary (till restart) ?
Because after phone's restart there is Wi-Fi error again.
Do i have to enable Wi-Fi on Windows each time when i want to boot MIUI?
What about if MIUI was installed as primary rom, could i enable the Wi-Fi without Windows?
Anyway, thank you for the great job, system works, even sound and light near the buttons.
Aaah, almost forgot - any way to power up the ambient lights on the sides of the phone?
That is the feature i miss very much
