Peach Sunrise is the first custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit. Based on stock UVLG3, it's deodexed, zipaligned, rooted, very lightly themed and uses a custom kernel. A CWM-based Recovery is required for installation. The industry spyware program Carrier IQ has been removed. This ROM is based on Samsung stock UVLG3 and is NOT vulnerable to USSD Dialer Attacks!
Everything that works with stock works with Peach Sunrise.
You can swap your internal and external sd storage using the included SwapSD app.
ADW Launcher is default. This launcher is highly themable, with many hundreds of themes (including ICS) downloadable from the Market.
EStrongs FM, Voltage Control, DSPManager and CIFSManager are included in the ROM.
V6 SuperCharger is included.
The stock WallpaperChooser has been modified exposing 30 new Wallpapers from Samsung, previously hidden in the source code!
Extra features include busybox, bash shell, terminal, init.d support, rc.local support, remount script. Additionally, adb now supports root access, allowing you to do things from your command line that were not previously possible.

Installation
CWM Keys:
Home key = enter
Back key = back
VolUp/Dwn = highlight choice
1. Back up your data. The installation will format your data partition. I suggest Titanium Backup, available in the Market.
2. Download the peach.sunrise zip file & copy to either your internal or external sd card.
3. Install Galaxy Exhibit 4G Custom Recovery (cwm) . If you're already rooted, you may install from the command line, otherwise you may install from Samsung's Recovery. Samsung's recovery only sees the internal SD, so copy the cwm zip there. Stock recovery sometimes takes more than one try to start.
Easy way to start recovery
* Make sure the cwm zip is on your internal (non-removable) sd.
* Pull the battery from your phone.
* Connect phone to your pc via usb.
* Press & hold Volume-up
* Insert battery
Your phone will boot into recovery. Press the capacitive menu button (left bottom button) when you see the open white box and droid. Choose 'apply update from sdcard' and select the cwm zip file.
4. Start Custom Recovery (cwm): Press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. Recovery should start after the color Samsung/T-Mobile Exhibit logo.
5. Select ROMwipe. This step is required! You will have problems if you do not install Peach to a clean system.
6. Highlight install zip from sdcard, then press Home.
7. Highlight 'choose zip from sdcard/external sdcard, depending where you placed the download in step 2.
8. Highlight the peach.sunrise zip file, then press Home.
After you confirm your choice, installation should take less than three minutes.
Big Thanks to Camcory for his assistance with the extended menu for this release!
Remember to do a Nandroid Backup when you're happy with your setup!
Bloat
Peach Sunrise has been de-bloated, meaning that most of the junk that
T-Mobile/Samsung includes to eat up your phone's storage has been removed.
If you need some of that stuff back, download the bloat file below, it's all in there.

Sure, I'll add something to the OP.
Since the the only difference b/w the Exhibit and Exhibit II is the camera processor, would flashing this rom works on my Exhibit?
Thanks.

Sorry, I have no idea. I'd guess probably not.
So this is just the Exhibit II's stock ROM debloated? If I already debloated all the stuff I don't need, does this ROM do anything?

What are you interested in having a ROM do? I've had the phone less than a week, so I'm pleased with this as a start
I like! . Haven't used it yet, but progress is good! Is there anyway you could make the kernel OCable?
THANKS! Great start. To answer your question, I would like to see overclock ability as one thing in a rom.
Thanks for this rom,happy people are working on this
About having custom kernels,will this take a while.....you did this rather quickly
The one thing I always wanted to use was voodoo sound and hope you can incorporate a kernel that supports it in the future
anyways keep up the good work and best of luck

Directions in the first post. It's Odin 4.43 all the way
jocala said:
Peach Sunrise is my first ROM for the Samsung Exhibit II. It's Touchwiz-based, rooted, very lightly themed (wallpaper only) and uses the stock kernel. It's been debloated, but not aggressively so. It also includes the bash shell for console junkies. This release uses Odin (included in the download). Future plans include deodexing and a custom kernel.
Download HERE
Consider this a beta, and use at your own risk. However, everything I've tested works. Calling, texting, camera, wifi,etc. If something is broken, it's probably something that I debloated that needs putting back.
Installation
Use Odin 4.43 or greater. 4.43 included in archive. Have Samsung USB drivers 1.4.8 or greater.
1. Put your Exhibit II into download mode. With power off, press and hold the download volume
button, then the power button. A warning screen about the evils of custom software will display.
Press volume-up and you should be in download mode. The screen has the Android robot in the center of the screen and "Downloading" underneath it.
2. Connect your Exhibit II via usb cable.
3. Click the OPS button, then select Ancora.ops
4. Click the "One Package" checkbox, then press the "One Package" button at the bottom of the Odin screen. Select the file peach.sunrise.tar. No other checkboxes need clicking, no other fields need filling. Press the start button.
The process takes 4-5 minutes to complete using Windows 7 in a virtual machine. Once your phone reboots, you should be done. YYMV.

I've posted a screenshot above of what your Odin screen should look like prior to pressing start.
The COM port mapping field should be yellow, with a port number filled in.
All checkboxes are checked.
The Reset Time field is pre-filled in with the value 300.
The OPS field is filled in.
The One Package field is filled in.
HTH.
Did I do it right?
I think I did it wrong because once it finished rebooting everything seemed the same. How do I know I have the ROM installed?

Things like this are why we have public betas
You are probably fine. I need to brand the ROM, so it identifies via your settings. Since the Odin process does not format your /data partition when you reboot your home setup WILL look just like like it did, since your /data partition overrides the new default home screen.
If you're rooted at boot the new rom is in place. I'll work out branding in beta 2.
So then do I still have all my data from my I had installed b4 flash

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_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.

Hey guys! I'd like to ask that is there any way to get my warranty back if I flashed CyanogenMod 7.1 Cooper Kang? :/ Fortunately, I don't need my warranty now, only asking if i will in the future Thanks

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

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 .

That's a good question . Could you post a screenshot ?
T-Mobile/Samsung have rebranded the Exhibit II 4G, giving us a new kernel, a bump to Android v2.3.6 and performance improvements (they claim) in the process. The phone we all love is now the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G.
This stock ROM (UVLG3) is NOT vulnerable to USSD Dialer Attacks!
Rooting
Currently, zergrush will not root this phone's Android 2.3.6. Three known methods:
Root Stock 2.3.6 w/o a new kernel or ROM
root-stock.zip
Mirror
This zip will install Superuser, su and busybox, leaving you rooted, but otherwise no changes to your phone. ClockworkMod must be installed to flash this. So:
1. Flash ClockworkMod
2. Boot into ClockworkMod and flash root-stock.zip.
Rooted Community ROM (forkable)
t679.uvlg3.odex.01.zip
Mirror
(also see custom ROMs)
Linked above is Samsung's newest release for the Galaxy Exhibit, a stock rooted UVLG3 Gingerbread ROM. Busybox is also included. You must flash it via clockworkmod. Clockworkmod can be flashed with Samsung's stock recovery.
Custom rooted kernel
t679-root-v1.8.zip
Mirror
Kernel sources
The kernel is based on Samsung's kernel source. This kernel is rooted; if you flash it via stock recovery or cwm your ROM will be rooted with Superuser.apk, Busybox and the Galaxy Exhibit cwm-recovery installed. This kernel works with all Samsung Gingerbread releases.
Rooted ROM Installation
CWM Keys:
Home key = enter
Back key = back
VolUp/Dwn = highlight choice
1. Back up your data. The installation will format your data partition. I suggest Titanium Backup, available in the Market.
2. Download & copy the current t679.uv???.deodex.0x.zip to your internal sd card (if you already have a cwm installed you may use your removable card).
3. Install Galaxy Exhibit Custom Recovery . If you're already rooted, you may install from the command line, otherwise you may install from Samsung's Recovery. Samsung's recovery only sees the internal SD, so copy the cwm zip there if you just have stock recovery. Stock recovery sometimes takes more than one try to start.
Easy way to start recovery
* Make sure the cwm zip is on your internal (non-removable) sd.
* Pull the battery from your phone.
* Connect phone to your pc via usb.
* Press & hold Volume-up
* Insert battery
Your phone will boot into recovery. Press the capacitive menu button (left bottom button) when you see the open white box and droid. Choose 'apply update from sdcard' and select the cwm zip file.
4. Start Custom Recovery (cwm): Press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. Recovery should start after the Galaxy Exhibit logo.
5. Select ROMwipe. This step is required!
6. Highlight install zip from sdcard, then press Home.
7. Highlight 'choose zip from sdcard/external sdcard, depending where you placed the download in step 2.
8. Highlight the rooted rom zip file, then press Home.
After you confirm your choice, installation should take less than three minutes.
Anything you download and install is at your own risk. No guarantees or warranties are given or implied. Your first post-installation boot may be several minutes long.

2. Download & copy t679-root-v1.8.zip to your internal sd card (if you already have a cwm installed you may use your removable card).
It's recommended to install Clockwork Mod, but you can also flash the kernel from Samsung's stock recovery. Samsung's recovery only sees the internal sd, so copy files there if you don't have cwm.
Stock recovery sometimes takes more than one try to start.
Easy way to start recovery
* Make sure the cwm zip is on your internal (non-removable) sd.

* Connect phone to your pc via usb.

5. Highlight install zip from sdcard, then press Home.
6. Highlight 'choose zip from sdcard/external sdcard, depending where you placed the download in step 2.
7. Highlight the kernel zip file, then press Home.
After you confirm your choice, installation should take less than a minute.

SwapSD
SwapSD This simple app allows you to swap internal "usb storage" (aka /sdcard) and your removable sdcard (aka external_sd) so your larger "external sd" is mounted as "/mnt/sdcard/" and the smaller sd internal memory is mounted as "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd". This is done by changing a file called vold.fstab in your phone's /etc folder. The original device vold.fstab file is backed up to /etc/vold.fstab.backup when this app first runs. Your data on /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/external_sd is not touched in any way whatsoever.

6.0.1.2 has new features, including better support for both external and internal SD cards, faster backups and restores with a new backup format that de-duplicates data in between backups. Exclusive features for Galaxy Exhibit include:
wipe menu with rom wipe
All system wipes under one menu: rom (system/cache/data),cache,dalvik,cache/dalvik,data.
Stack zip files for installation:
Flash cm9 & gapps, etc. Select as many zip files for installation as you choose. Flash them all with one command.
Install system images:
Drop any recognized system image into a folder on your phone and recovery can flash it. You can even drop the entire contents of an odin tar/md5 file in a folder and cwm recovery will flash it all automatically.
All images must conform to Odin naming standards:

To initially install Galaxy Exhibit Custom Recovery you need to:
1. Copy cwm.galaxy.exhibit.zip to your internal SD storage.
2. Boot into stock recovery:
Starting recovery: Press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons.
Or a different method some find easier:
* Pull the battery from your phone.
* Connect phone to your pc via usb.
* Press & hold Volume-up
* Insert battery
Recovery should start after the Galaxy Exhibit/T-Mobile logo.
3. Press the capacitive menu button (left bottom button) when you see the open white box and droid. Choose 'apply update from sdcard' and select the cwm.galaxy.exhibit.zip file.
If you already have cwm installed, to update follow the steps above, booting into your current cwm instead of stock recovery.

Ditto here man. We'd all be screwed & tattooed without his know-how. BTW worth mentioning I had to refreeze all the bloatware again after the update. Noticed how the phone lagged and then checked Titanium Backup. Sure enough all the crap was back. Also re-check settings in programs like Juice Defender and Rom Toolbox. I had to re-enter some of them again as well.
Has anyone managed to update successfully while already being rooted? (Specifically by Zerg Rush method)
I've yet to received the OTA notification and still holding off If i should update using the software. Stock ROM but just rooted. Holding off on "flashing" anything as I've never done it before.

Hey so i was just looking, and had a few questions, the rom you say is stock and odexed, are all the official roms odexed? Also just curious is the extra file in ur rooted rom, that are not in stock, extra like tweaks or part of odex or are they needed? some are just text and xml so im sure prolly wouldnt hurt, but not exatly the same as stock. Also depending on the answers to the above would you mind looking at the rom i made or maybe releaseing one that has no extras just root and busybox so stock kernel and recovery?
edit: also just noticed theres an extra folder(not in stock) T9DB just wondering what they are for or what they do, looks to be like something for the keyboard?
edit2: i think i answered one of my questions stock is odexed., other questions still wondering about though. It also looks like you might have taken a different approach to rooting the rom, maybe you could look at mine see if its just complete fail or not lol and or maybe pming me, to avoid clutter, on how you did urs.
ive made sooo many edits lol but just wanted to add too, thanx for all the work you have done for us.

The phones I use have always come odexed. I know of no other root methods. I don't have time to beta your rom, but feel free to post a link. I'm sure you'll have volunteers
cool, and no problem, and basically all i did was use the dsixd kitchen and added root(from in the kitchen menu), does that not really root it? does that just change the file permissions? cause when i did that it added the su binary so i assumed it did, but doesn't look like thats what you did, urs has a mkroot folder that im gonna guess is used by the update-script to add the su binary and such.

You are correct
Flashed the ROM, all went smooth, but I can't install anything from the Market. Every time I try I get "ERROR "Blah" Could not be downloaded due to an error." Any ideas? Did a full romwipe and dalvik before flashing. The markets not even updating to Play store either.

Changelog:
[Sat, May 13 2017]: Initial Release
----------------------------
Screenshots:
Requirements for installing AXES Rom:
1- A Human Brain
2- A PC/Laptop running Windows OS
3- Samsung USB-C Cable (USB-C to USB-A) which obviously comes with your phone in it's retail box.
4- Patience & Time at hand
Make sure to backup your files, contacts and so on before attempting to tamper with your device unofficially as the data residing in your phone's storage will be wiped!
Instructions on installing AXES Rom:
1- Go to your devices Settings ---> About device ---> Software info and tap on it's "Build number" several times in a row till a message appears saying that you have unlocked Developers mode.
Go back one step and you'll find a new option defined as: "Developers mode".
Without further ado select Developers mode in Settings and turn on: "OEM unlock".
2- Make sure the above step is fulfilled before you move on to this step. This guide is case sensitive and your device is on the line in case you do not follow the necessary steps provided in the right sequence and way.
Turn Off your phone completely and press and hold it's Power Button along with it's Volume Down Button & Home Button to enter: "Download Mode".
After the Samsung phone name logo, you will see a blue screen with a warning sign.
Proceed by simply pressing the Volume Up button once as seen on the screen.
Now you are in the: "Download Mode" aka: "Odin Mode" for flashing firmware files using the Samsung flashing tool called Odin.
3- In this step we will be attempting to Flash a Custom Recovery entitled: "TWRP" which stands for: "Team Win Recovery Project".
To do so we will need to download the Odin Windows Application as described above in Step 2 for flashing the custom recovery file.
WARNING: Flashing a custom recovery to your device will trip the Knox warranty bit on your phone. Check with your mobile provider to see if they will still cover warranty on Knox bit triggered devices. If you understand this risk, continue on.
Odin v3.12.3 Download Link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
You'll find the link in the attachments section below the thread.
TWRP Recovery v3.0.2.0 (ONLY for SM-A520F/DS) Download Link:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120710156
Once you've download both files from the given links above, extract the folder: "Odin3 v3.12.3" from the Odin3 v3.12.3.zip file to your desktop and move the: "A5-SM-A520F-TWRP-3.0.2.0.tar" file to the Odin folder you just extracted.
Run the Odin3 Application within that folder.
Click on the: "Options" Tab after Log and uncheck: "Auto Reboot" and make sure that: "F. Reset Time" is checked.
Go back to the: "Log" Tab and click on the: "AP" button and select the: "A5-SM-A520F-TWRP-3.0.2.0.tar" file you just moved to the Odin folder in your desktop.
In order for Odin to detect that your phone's connected to your PC/Laptop make sure you have the Samsung Usb Driver for Mobile Phones installed onto your PC/Laptop.
If you already have it installed then simply skip obtaining it from the download link below.
Samsung Usb Driver for Mobile Phones Download Link:
https://yadi.sk/d/uubiaKw6j8bug
Afterwards connect your phone to your PC/Laptop using the Samsung USB-C Cable.
Once Odin displays that your device is connected, hit the: "Start" button below and wait for the file to be done flashing. You will notice above a green progress bar filling up towards the end and also your phone's screen will display a white progress bar to go along with it.
4- Odin will display a green: "Done" box above when it's done flashing TWRP Recovery.
Afterwards we will reboot our phone normally by simply pressing and holding the Volume Up Button and Power Button for a few seconds (around 10 sec.) and then we instantly press and hold the Volume Up Button along with the Power Button and Home Button before we see the Samsung Galaxy A5 Bootlogo in order to successfully boot to TWRP Recovery.
5- You will reach a TWRP Recovery screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications. Swipe right and enable modifications and select: "Don't show this again".
6- For the Internal Storage or Data to work in TWRP Recovery we will have to go to: "Wipe" then "Format Data" (not advanced wipe) and type: "yes".
Go to: "Reboot" and select: "Recovery".
7- Your phone will reboot to TWRP Recovery once again.
If you have the Rom zip file available in your External SD Card then skip Part 1 of this step and move on to Part 2.
Part 1: While running TWRP Recovery on your device, connect your phone to your PC/Laptop using the usb cable and copy the Rom zip file to your phone's Internal Storage.
Part 2: Finally go to: "Install", select storage and select: "Internal" or "External storage" wherever you copied and stored the AXES Rom zip file.
Locate the Rom in either storages, select it and swipe to the right to flash it.
Wait for the Rom to be flashed entirely and then select the reboot option.
Rebooting to the system will require about 5 minutes so be patient and don't forget to report back to us with your experience!

In the OP I had the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip linked to the ADB_Root_G935U_QE2Files.zip zip so please make sure you have the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip when downloading. Its fixed in the OP now so just double check
I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage
Thanks for all your hard work . I just installed this so far so good but I am missing Wi-Fi calling. Is that normal or am I just not looking in the correct place? Thanks

Ok will try that when I get a chance. Thanks again.
Thx for an awesome rom.
Sorry if this question is asked before but couldn't find a solution (checked Verizon thread as well).
I am running Playstore version ROM and everything is working fine except Video Recording.
Photo is fine but when I record a video with included Camera NX, it only plays sound and the screen is either still or black.
I have been taking a needed break. I will update all my s7 roms including this one in the next few days
Nice
That rom can flash for g930p? tks your work!!
@jrkruse
Thanks for all your contributions to this device. I just bought this device and I've been diving through the forums trying to gather as much info on this locked down device.
Could you provide me with just the boot images that don't check the system image and from what model/rom are they from?
Oh and could you provide the partitions locations? The latest roms have an updated Knox that blocks SU from doing it's thing and I have to perform everything via adb (eng boot).
Blank screen
Hello,
I am on your custom rom and the phone was working fine for a day. After I restarted the phone I am not able to see the lockscreen. Its just blank. I do hear the sound of taking a screenshot when I press the buttons and I also can see the " shut down, restart, emg mode" buttons when I hold the power button but no lockscreen. I tried running the recovery boot img but nothing changed.
There is some kind of issue at the locksceen after a restart.
I'm Stuck

I followed the directions up to Step 7.
For the life of me I can not get the AP file to copy to my SD card. Yes I have enough space on it and I can get the ROM copied.
I tried copying the AP file with a file explorer, on my PC, external card reader. Every time I try, it gets to about 95-99% and says "copy failed".
I know it says flashfire only, but is that my only option?

In my case I created a folder named Download in Internal Storage and copied Zip and AP files there. I didn't have trouble coping files there.
From my experience & guess, you may still have old files & settings even though you flashed U-firm files Step 1-2.
Try to access recovery mode and do factory reset and see if this helps. Make sure you backup all important files to External SD because it will factory reset.
So I rooted my phone using Araltd's guide in this forum. I've got a couple of questions about this rom...
1. If I were to flash this rom to my device, would it remove my root access?
2. What's device performance like? After rooting, my device is very slow and buggy. Will this fix that?
3. Will my device still be full of T-Mobile's bloatware?
Thanks!

1. Yes, it will remove Root Access but you can still use ADB to do root stuff like push / pull files.
2. Since it will use stock boot instead of ENG boot, it will fix the lag issue.
3. This is U (universal) firmware so it won't have Tmobile bloat but it will have Samsung bloat/apps. During the install you can also choose de-bloat level too. From my experience BS-Free (2nd one), is both lightweight and stable. If you go with Playstore level (most lightweight, replace Samsung Apps with Google ones), you will have trouble with camera.

Do you know how this rom compares to the QF6 one which seems to be a bit more popular?

The QF6 ROM you mentioned is T-mobile firmware so it will have Tmobile apps. Most of them can be removed from ROM install or disabled after.
Other than that there's no performance difference.
If you want Tmobile like environment with Tmobile update schedule, go with T-mobile one. If you want less carrier apps, go with U-Firmware one.
I will no longer be updating my s7 threads until the time Oreo is released with root method. For now I have worked with @stang5litre to bring my non-root method to his amazing rom. He currently has a nougat release found here http://stang5litre-roms.proboards.com/
I keep getting samsung pay connection error. any fixes? i tried factory reset and reset settings, but the app still doesnt work. do i have to reflash the rom?

If you at any point tried to root it or flashed the modified boot image then you are no longer passing the safteynet checks, my suggestion is to do a clean install and see if it works then try it again making sure you don't root after you are done installing this rom.

How to install
custom rom
******************
You will need:
*PC with Odin 3.13.1 or above
(https://samsungodin.com)
*TWRP .tar image for your model
Flat: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/herolte/
Edge: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/
*Rom
(Stored on external memory/sdcard)
*Unlocked OEM
To unlock OEM
********************************************
Go to settings, phone information, and tap build number until it says developer options unlocked, press back twice and go into developer options turn on OEM unlock
********************************************
1. Put your phone into download mode by turning your phone off, now press volume down, power and home key at the same time until the screen turns green, then release the buttons.
2. Open Odin on your PC and plug the USB cable into your phone and press volume up.
You will see it is connected to Odin, (there will be a blue rectangle saying com(number)
3. Select the AP section and load your TWRP .tar image in there.
4. Get ready to press volume up, home and power button at same time on your phone now press start on Odin, it will only take a few seconds, as soon as the box goes green and says pass, press the volume up, home and power button combo until TWRP splash screen shows up on your phone screen. Now release button combo and unplug USB cable from your phone.
5. In twrp press wipe, then format. A keyboard will appear, type yes and press enter. Now press back to go to TWRP main screen and press reboot and select reboot to recovery. It will now reboot back into TWRP.
6. Press wipe again, then format, type yes, press enter. (Do this 3 times)
Press back to go to TWRP main screen and press wipe, select advanced wipe, check all boxes apart from OTG and SDCARD and swipe. (Do this 3 times)
Press back to go to TWRP main screen and press wipe then swipe to factory reset. (Do this 3 times)
********************************************
Your phone is now completely clear with no operating system and ready to flash a custom rom. When you downloaded your rom, you stored it on your sd card or external storage, you need to do this as when you do all the wipes it wipes your internal storage but not your sd card, that's why it says in advanced wipe don't check the sd card or OTG boxes.
********************************************
7. Press back until you go to main screen in TWRP and select install, select storage, external (sd card) and select the rom zip. Now just swipe to flash.
Normally it will go into aroma which contains check boxes of extra items to add into the rom, this rom however is a straight flash, it will automatically detect your phone model and select the correct kernel and battery capacity. It will say Installation finished when done. Now go back to main twrp screen and select reboot and press system. The phone will reboot, leave it 10-15mins to allow it to load the rom, be patient. Then you will be at the set up page just like starting a new phone. Set up from there and enjoy the rom.[/PLAIN]
Good job. Congrats
Will try soon

If you do help me I'm very thankful to you.

Use this rom, it has working secure folder.
To get secure folder working you would need to have all Knox apps (which are probably debloated from his rom)
Do a build.prop edit and an smali edit in services.jar
I am not going to rebuild somebody else's rom
Any chance for Galaxy watch to pair ?

November 2019 patch waiting for next security patch to update
Just a little thing I threw together to try porting, so nothing special
This rom is straight flash with autodetect for kernel and battery text built into updater-script and omc will choose the csc, no aroma. Just flash and let boot, give 5-10 mins for first boot
Credits to @Kill-Switch for a LOT of his time and expert help and porting lessons
Also thanks to @ananjaser1211 for his expert help in the kernel and a lot of help in the rom too,
Great guys

Download the rom, install pubg, play it and let me know.
I don't play that game, also I'm not sure there is a way to show "rom game performance", don't even know what that is.
