Custom ROM for S5830i

Recently bought a S5830i. Tried flashing a custom ROM for S5830 into it. Didnt work. "installation aborted" it said . Had taken a nandroid backup, so no harm done.
Here are my questions for anybody who can answer them :
1. How does a chipset difference matter when flashing a custom ROM?
2. Are there any custom ROM(s) for S5830i? If not, is there anybody I can request to do this?

too bad for you too bad for you too bad for you too bad for you too bad for u
maybe none of the ace devs here got the s5830i

I guess that when someone makes a custom rom, it is made for a particular handset. for eg if a rom is made for a full touch phone, it won't work on a qwerty phone as the hardware differ. a rom is made for particular hardware. as for the custom rom, try cyanogenmod 9, it is the best and is based on ics.

Well i can make a cystom rom for S5830i like blackhawk or baldeagle!!!Later U guys can theme it anyway!!!And 1 question have u guys have a root for S5830i ?

Make it a Multi-Language (Hebrew Arabic and Russian, etc.)
tnx

Is there any form to unlock this device?
Cheers

My friend bricked the mobile because he thought the model was s5830 instead of s5830i.
Now I have rooted the ace with a spanish rom that removes advertising of the mobile company. But the question is, can I unlock this mobile phone anyway?
I hope u have understood me because I'm spanish and I don't know much english.
Thanks!

but sir we r not even having a kernel yet...

One person is working on developing a kernel but he don't have s5830i so we're having difficulties and we must try everything he develop untill something boots and works.If this happen he will add scripts and everything will be working fine.We need some developers because I'm not very aware of android developing..All help is apreciated because it's a new phone and there is nothing custom for this device...

well can someone rooted from 5830i do a simple thing..
do a terminal emulator or adb shell and run following commands
Code:
su
ls proc > /sdcard/proc.txt
and then post out the proc.txt made in sdcard ?
as in kernel sources it tells to use SGY config which i doubt is correct..

s5830i isn't s5830!!!

HI GUYS!
I posted this thread, because in some countries we can buy now just s5830i, not the original s5830.
Samsung gave out a new version of Ace, and now it can be bought in more and more countries now. In some threads there are angry posts, because s5830i users write here, in the s5830 forum. Sorry for these guys, we can't write on any other place, because there isn't forum for us, so we must write here. I hope the Admins will open a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i forum.
Now I'm here because I want to write a summary of the S5830i phone, and of the difference of the S5830i and the S5830.
1. S5830i has got better CPU. It has got 832 MHz, S5830 has got 800 MHz.
2. S5830i can record 640x480 videos with LGCAMERA, S5830 can record 320x240.
3. S5830i has got Bluetooth 3.0 Audio streaming, S5830 has got 2.1.
4. S5830i has got 278 MB phone storage, S5830 has got 158 MB.
5. S5830i has got originally Gingerbread, S5830 has got froyo, but it can update now.
Maybe some more
And this is very, very important!!!
YOU CAN'T USE S5830 ROMS ON S5830i.
There aren't any rom for S5830i, so we have to wait. I'm on it, now just 1-2 day, and I'll be finished with it.
How to root it:
1.Download the file of the second post's attachment! (update.zip)
2.Put in in the root of SD!
3.Switch off the phone!
4.Switch on in recovery mode! (Vol. up+Home+Power!)
5.Select the "apply update from sdcard" (Vol. up=up, Vol. down=Down, Home=select)
6.Choose the update.zip!
7.Reboot system in the main menu!
Gratulations! You're now ROOTED :highfive:
BUT!!! With this, you will lose your guarantee, and your phone may have demage!!!
Unroot:
1.Download the Unroot.zip file in the second post's attachment!
2.Follow the previous instuctions from the second instruction!
If something is wrong, or miss, please write post or PM me!
If you found it useful, just click on the Thank! Just one click!

Here are the downloads in the attachment!

Y U late to party ? :silly:

S5830 can record 640x480 with normal samsung camera itself!
And s5830i has same chipset as galaxy y. I also think it doesnt have GPU and uses CPU instead for processing graphics which is a bit lame!

The same case happend with samsung galaxy s2 , initially they produce 19100 with exynos, later on they produce 19100G with omap which of course have less dev support.

CM is going to be a bit hard....Broadcom processors...

Yeah, apparently the S5830i has no GPU and it doesn't have Gorilla Glass.
Better off getting the Galaxy Ace 2 at this point, though.

Galaxy Ace s5830i has GPU (VideoCore IV),it cant record 640x480 videos with the stock camera,and has Gorilla Glass.

S5830 can record video at 640x480.

but still......they have better Custom ROM's than us

I have a samsung Galaxy ace "s5830i". I really dont like the plain boring menu's etc i just really want a change. So if somebody has some spare time to take me through it and tell me exactly what to do, I'd be very happy....

you can't install that ROM on your phone since that ROM was made for "Galaxy Ace S5830".
Your phone is Galaxy Ace S5830"i". there's a different forum section for your phone.
here's the link. CLICK ME! Galaxy Ace S5830"i"

Sorry but I don't know any other sites that has ROMs for an Ace i.
Unfortunately, yes. There's not a lot of developers/users of ace i compared to the first generation of galaxy ace(which is the s5380 w/o the letters).
there's a couple of good roms that are available on the section i gave you tho. you should try them out.
I checked a couple of threads there's an on going CM7 project for your phone.
If you're not going to upgrade phone yet, maybe you should try a custom stock rom and wait for the cm7 to reach its beta.
anyway, you're very welcome to ask me through PM. I can guide you and teach you the basics(since I got nothing to do and I'm bored).
Cheers.

i think its because of the way you rooted it, try using a flashable zip, i think by nims11, worked perfectly for me, no restarts and stuff

could you give me a link to it sir..pls
and do i also have to unroot my samsung ace again? or just flash the new file?

so as far as ive browse the forum most of the posts said that your root file and CWM needs to be preferred by your android version or kernel version?....does it?
so here are some of my ace's info
model number: GT-S5830
android version: 2.3.6 (is this stock one?) \
Kernel Version: [email protected]#1 (not the stock one right? since i rooted my fone?)
Build number: GINGERBREAD.DXKT5
pls do give me the link to the right root file and CWM for my ace also do i have to unroot my phone since i rooted it already?
and also what ROM should i install? one with no lags and problems

Dont worry there are many ROMs which are stable. But try avoiding this question coz actually there are many ROMs and it's against the rules to ask such questions.
To find ROMs go to GALAXY ACE ANDROID DEVELOPMENT SECTION, there r many ROMs there, read the comments to know which one will suit you and download. Simple.

If you get bootloop do 3 wipes via cwm recovery
if you can transfer files wihtout a cable look at my signature
if you want to unroot your device flash this UNROOT even you can flash a fresh stock rom via Odin and you'll lost root and cwm

i recommend you flash stock rom onto your device through odin first, as it will get rid of any root and stuff like that, and then flash these flashable zips, i have never tried unroot, i always reflash my rom if i need to do something
(i repeat for anyone trying to be a smartass and say it against forum rules and stuff, I DID NOT MAKE THESE FILES, I FOUND THEM ON A FORUM, WHICH I AM UNABLE TO FIND RIGHT NOW)

[Q] [CWM] [Recovery] S7275R Galaxy Ace 3

Hi peeps, its the end of the year 2013. And my previously owned galaxy ace is dying out of slowness, incapability and lagginess.
I've now got the new Galaxy ace 3.
Just rooted it with vroot and installed SuperSU.
Though im yet to find any proper CWM that is capable with this phone.
The usual methods that uses Odin and flashing the PDA doesn't work for me.
Any help is appreciated
PS, XDA doesnt recognize Galaxy Ace 3 yet and please do let me know if i've posted in the wrong place.
Sharing is caring, respect is all the wealth we need.

I got the Ace III about a day after you and have already managed to brick it :crying:
So if you make any progress with CWM or Odin etc please post back.
It's such a good little phone I'd hate to give up on it.

Hi peeps, its the end of the year 2013. And my previously owned galaxy ace is dying out of slowness, incapability and lagginess.
I've now got the new Galaxy ace 3.
Just rooted it with vroot and installed SuperSU.
Though im yet to find any proper CWM that is capable with this phone.
The usual methods that uses Odin and flashing the PDA doesn't work for me.
Any help is appreciated
PS, XDA doesnt recognize Galaxy Ace 3 yet and please do let me know if i've posted in the wrong place.
Sharing is caring, respect is all the wealth we need.

You will probably not find any help here because this is not Ace 3 forum.

OK, thanks. In case any Ace 3 ace is reading, any assistance editing the vold.fstab would be appreciated. The format is different from what I was expecting.

Looks like the same one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548856
I've been holding that one in reserve since my phone model appears to suggest it will not be compatible - and I'm in the "Twice shy" phase of my meddling
Thanks for that though. I'm also investigating obackup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040507&page=478) as an alternative to CWM, no luck there yet either. I'm in an unfamiliar position of having a fairly new device
EDIT - Just occurred to me that message was probably for the OP, still - thanks.
