Restore S5830 GalaxyICS to Gingerbread

Hi guys,
I have the rom ICS Beta8 created by Maclaw installed on my Galaxy ACE. Unfortunately I urgently need the camera (not yet operative on that ROM) and I wonder if you can tell me how to restore the original rom.
Thanks,
Dario

Just read the noob guide in genaral and post qeustions like this there this thread is for developing stuff!!

Friend, do you backup your rom before flash new rom? If yes, go to CWM and select backup/restore and select restore, after select the folder with your backups and "Yes - Restore". Your folder should is in folder of CWM in your SDCARD.
If you dont have backup you files with CWM, you need .zip file to install the other rom.

Search for ODIN Installer. It will help you to go to a stock rom.

Thanks mate. I don't have any backup. I have found many zip for Android 2.3 but I am unsure if I can update them using the recovery functionality of ICS.
I am sorry to have posted on the wrong session. Anyway I think this problem is related to development as I accepted to install the beta rom on my phone and I think mine could be a common problem of many people.

Hey buddy
If from a cm rom you want to go for a stock rom then you need Odin
Normal flashing via cwm won't work due to the different file systems
But the other way around works

CF root LRG include CWM recovery n CWM manager but any superSU issue.
Notecore v.6,goku kernel v.1.5,speedmod K3-9 include cwm recovery but nothing cwm manager,u can install cwm manager as add on..
U should rooted before flashing the kernel..

Cwm recovery is cwm in recovery mode..

LRG kernel have conflict with superSU..
yes, u can use LRK for ur LR1..
Notecore had been erase emmc bug n had been patched..
CF just stock kernel which has given root access..
Notecore V.10.2 is recommended choice..

By flashing a safe kernel like Goku, Speedmod or Notecore for your stock TW ICS you'll get a safe cwm...it is up to you which one you prefer, just try them out...
As I know Speedmod is very stable (no oc/uv but battery friendly), Goku is undervolted/not oc'ed (don't know the voltage table) with a 100MHz frequency, but it makes no sence 'cause 100MHz use the same voltage as 200MHz...and finally there is Notecore with an eye more on performance than battery life (but it is good as well regarding battery)...if you decide for Notecore, flash the STD-version first (not every Note can handle the oc'ed version).
To switch from TW ROM to CM9/CM10 it is recommended to go back to GB via PC Odin to do a fullwipe from there to safely switch over to CM9/CM10. Other's only flash Abyss (a GB-kernel) without going back to GB to do the full wipe, but I read something about that there COULD be some problems at the end...you'd NEVER flash CM9/CM10 directly from TW ICS stock or custom ROM!!!
Ok, so happy flashing for you :laugh:

thanks for your rich info advices bro, a few questions.
1. custom kernel will render from official ota updates?
2. will mess up my current app, data? like notecore will reverse sd n ext sd
3. needs to restore backup after flashing?

1.-> I don't think that OTA is possible for rooted devices, but via Kies (yes, this buggy software) you'll get official updates if rooted I've read...I always flash my FW via Mobile Odin. You can get the stock FW's on sammobile f.e.!
2.-> No, Notecore overwrites only the stock kernel...your apps'n'data should be safe! The built-in CWM of Notecore kernel shows the correct paths for internal and external sd!
3.-> Before flashing anything you'd allways backup your apps with TB f.e.! And before flashing the kernel, you'd wipe cache/dalvik cache (not DATA!) or use the jbroid kernel cleaning script (this wipes cache, dalvik and fragments of old kernel for a clean flash)! After a kernel flash there is no need for a restore backup if all went as it should.
When on Speedmod, Goku or Notecore you can also do a nandroid backup before flashing any other kernel (I allways do).
And just to clear things before you'll try to flash...You have a rooted device already???

ok thank you :thumbup:that clears my doubts, yes im already rooted with mobile odin but no cwm injected well m ready to try out..

Okay, here we go...:fingers-crossed:
If you stick with Notecore ( I think so, 'cause this kernel is amazing), you have to flash often 'cause Gavin (g.lewarne) allways is cooking a new creation of his outstanding kernel.:laugh:

Noob questions

I have some noob questions, please someone answer them.
I rooted my note by flashing from recovery a supersu zip file i dint install any CWM.
Now my question is 1) Should i install a CWM to flash a safe kernal, cant i do from stock recovery.
2) Will i get the OTA update when i am on custom kernal and can i install it directly without causing any problems.
3) In many threads i read dont wipe on stock kernals, why actually should we wipe ours caches. No where it is mentioned, when someone explains tell me when has it to be done like while flashing custom kernals or custom roms?
4) If i use setcpu to over clock will it cause any problems longterm or shorterm.
5) And in many threads many say i bricked my note so is there a guarantee that it can be brought back to normal state.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

1) Should i install a CWM to flash a safe kernal, cant i do from stock recovery. ?
u cannot install CWM just like that.. when u install a kernel u get CWM with it.
some methods of rooting doesnt install a safekernel or CWM... just root. then u can use mobile odin on the phone to install a safe kernel.
2) Will i get the OTA update when i am on custom kernal and can i install it directly without causing any problems.
u will be notfied of OTA but will not get installed.. it need stock recovery, stock kernel and non root
3) In many threads i read dont wipe on stock kernals, why actually should we wipe ours caches. No where it is mentioned, when someone explains tell me when has it to be done like while flashing custom kernals or custom roms?
sometimes the apps wont work correcly due to a corrupt cache. wiping it fixes them.. when flashing ROMs its a must for the ROM to build its on cache for the new apps. flashing a kernel doesnt require cache wiping
4) If i use setcpu to over clock will it cause any problems longterm or shorterm.
i havent heard of any issues with OC.. but yes one thing that is very prominent is when playing games the phone gets a lot more warm when OC.
5) And in many threads many say i bricked my note so is there a guarantee that it can be brought back to normal state.
it depends. if its a soft brick like when u have access to the download mode.. then 80% of the time yes but if it becomes totally dead aka hardbrick.. it needs a mothernpard replacement.

All ur questions can be found if u use search actually.
But let me try to answer.
1. If u use stock recovery and u want to flash custom safe kernel, go and download philz kernel. But choose properly the kernel for ur baseband. Read his thread carefully.
2. When u r on custom kernel or root, most probably u wont get ota, or u want be able to flash it properly. U can keep the latest update by flashing through odin.
3. Dont wipe on stock kernel, especially wipe data. It will trigger the mmc bugs. Why u need to wipe? U will need it when u like to jump from rom to rom it is needed for a clean installation. So u wont get any serious problem when flashing custom rom.
4.might be yes might be no. If u follow instructions from developer of course not. So far the best OC is from hydracore. Unless u know how to do it urself. Try to avoid 3rd party apps from market.
5. Dont be afraid of bricking ur note if u like to learn. I bricked mine on the 5th weeks i had this note. U can revive it using hg42 pit revival methods.
Hope i help u.

Dpi is a unit measuremen for ur display.
Originally it comes with 320 dpi.
But our devs here are manage to change it to smaller dpi.
Lets say 290dpi and 240 dpi. It will be depends on how comfort is ur eyes to see.
U can change manually in build.prop with a root access.
But, easily, there are some custom roms provide u with smaller dpi, but u will need root access also to flash custom rom.
Good luck in anything u plan to do, mate!

actually antique_sonic did answer about DPI.
DPI is dots per inch.
note has a dpi of 320.. lower the dpi.. smaller becomes the text and icons.
so i u have lots of icons in ur home screen.. lowering DPI to 280 or 240 will make them smaller and thus more spacious.
be careful cuz putting incompatible values will cause the phone not to boot.
