how to know the rom version - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

sorry friends, i am a new here and i dont know where to post this . i just want to know what is rom and how can i know which rom is in my phone
and again sorry if i have posted it at wrong place
thanks

Its been months since i'm on gb, and probably thats what you're running, anyway its settings>about phone. All the info that u wanna know is there, rom, baseband, kernel etc.
What is rom? On layman terms its the version of android os you're using. For more technical detail please refer the almighty google

thanks a lot

Use the search engine and don't make new threads asking for information that already exists.

Stock rom

Hi, I´ve just received my Optimus 2x from Vodaf*** Spain and I rooted it, but I´d like to change the original rom ( it´s the worst i´ve ever tested)
I´m looking for a Stock rom version 10c without LG ornaments
My rom data
Baseband:
kernel: 2.6.32.9
comp: frg83g
Version LGE: LGP990-v10c
P.D I´don´t like to break my phone is so powerfull.......
P.D+1: Latest baseband for my country 1035.21_20110226, other not worked well (shutdown, reboots)
Thanks a lot
Please dont create useless threads like this one. When you read the forum you will find the vanilla rom by paulobrien.
Read, read again and again. When you are sure it is nowhere to be found, post a thread or a reply. You dont want to be hated, do you?
Hey calm down cowboy, are you the sheriff? I make only a question like other members. I don´t known if vanilla=stock. I've posted because my version is 10c, so I don´t know if a diferent rom works like 10b. A forum is to ask? isn´t it.

both of you are right
you are right .... forum are for that reason !
Check this out dude.... http://android.modaco.com/content/l...om-rom-for-the-lg-optimus-2x-vanilla-edition/

Please show me a post when it says vanilla=stock, version 10b=10c
I have flashed some roms and they worked great but the phone shuts off when it´s charging, so I think vanilla version 10b isn´t the same as stock rom 10c from my country. I´m looking for a stock rom 10c
Are there any post similar? I don´t think so.
If you don´t have a idea about it, please closed your mouth, and do not waste my time and others if you do not contribute any idea or solution.
Thanks

[Q] Newbie Need Help >.<

Hi All,
First of all, i totally new here, so please forgive me if i post at the wrong place, and sorry for my poor english...
Again, i'm new and newbie.. really appreciate for any help given...
i just brought my SGS since month ago... went to samsung service center for twice for shortcut missing problem & GPS no signal (Thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043034 it helps alot)
Now... most headache, lag issue.. memory full....
So.. is there any solution for this? i know root and flash might help but how can i do this? i read some threads around, but i not sure which to choose... or should i wait for official android 2.3? Will 2.3 solve my lag/hang issue? I don't know what is root or flash exactly, what can it do? any disadvantages?
Oh! and what is JIT? I heard it can make apps run faster! worth a try?
I don't mind and hardcore/heavy solution(need advance skill) as long there is a tutorial for me xD
Really appreciate for any help and advises ^^ TQ very much..

Want you need to do it search for username ramad or chainfire on rooting your phone... they offer good guides on how to do it or go and sign up to this website.... www.darkyroms.com... good luck...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ok! I found some ramad's post, will have a try... some question here.. can you help me out?...
Root means i can bypass OS permission and configure the system my self right? How about flash? erase the default firmware(original android os?) and install a new one? Will it cause some hardware failure or unable to use some features like wifi, bluetooth, gps? or maybe it will enhance it? !
After flash... some apps will unable to use right? because many apps support original os like 2.2, 2.3... if after i flash it... my os is not android 2.2, etc anymore right?
And just now i factory reset my phone.. now it unable to play Mp4 file.. it say i need to convert to supported format when transfer to phone... it is strange that i never have this error before, although i was transferring the same Mp4 file that i use to play in my phone before.
Flash your phone with Darky's 9.5 link was given by chrisdavesants
It's really easy to do too and plenty of guides are around.
Although it is a Froyo (2.2.1) rom it is far more stable than any Gingerbread rom's
Everything works just as it would on a stock rom.

Good luck on that but i tell you no difference....
Root means i can bypass OS permission and configure the system my self right? Yes!!
How about flash? erase the default firmware(original android os?) and install a new one? Right...
Will it cause some hardware failure or unable to use some features like wifi, bluetooth, gps?No or maybe it will enhance it? ! Some enhancements are feasible on custom roms...
After flash... some apps will unable to use right? Didnot experience any apps not working... everything worked...
because many apps support original os like 2.2, 2.3...custom roms are based on official 2.2 or/and 2.3 so they are the same features are just enhanced...
if after i flash it... my os is not android 2.2, etc anymore right? Depends on what you flash... will stay 2.2.1 for froyo or 2.3.3 with ginger
And just now i factory reset my phone.. now it unable to play Mp4 file.. it say i need to convert to supported format when transfer to phone... it is strange that i never have this error before, although i was transferring the same Mp4 file that i use to play in my phone before.

Odin is where you flash custom or official roms... leaked roms... as well.. CWM IS clockworkmd where you flash zip files afer using odin..
Requirements yes you should flash F/W only compatible with your phone model... read the instructions to the letter esp. Red ones...

SUPERPOWERED??? ARE YOU KIDDING???? GO TO IT AND EXPERIENCE.. WARNING... FLASHING IS ADDICTIVE....
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Just kidding... for me.. less lagness.. is superpowered! as my phone is half dead now.. apps keep restart itself although i use task killer, force stop it or clear memory.. still laggg...
Erm... i trying to search around darky's forum.. they didnt list out the min requirement to install their roms...
mine was:
Baseband version: I9000DXJPB
Kernal Ver: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
Build number: Froyo.DXJPE
All stock roms.. no root.. clean & plain >.<
So.. i should take Odin to continue right?
Yes... be sure to follow correct model of phone... is that I9000 international?? Heres how i do it.. search the darky forum for ressurection edition thats an easy install then flash 9.5 via CWM u know the buttons right?? And kaboom.... flying SGS...

You won't know yourself after flashing darky 9.5 then, it will be like a new phone.
Simply follow the appropriate guide linked in the first post- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091 titled [GUIDES] All-in-One Guides Thread [thanks to addicted2088/addi] (Sorry I cant post the actual link, the forum won't let me post outside links as I haven't got enough posts..)

?? You never tried another rom, but already flashed 200 ??
The best rom is the rom that best suits YOUR needs, so nobody could really help you.
Do a backup and try for yourself.
Damn....close this thread already. You ain't suppose to be asking newbie questions like which ROM is best in the development forum.

So you make thread for opinion? If you flashd 200 roms, then We should ask you what is best rom. Com on! Just read the posts in different rom threads. How can you tell what is best rom with only two ore three posts than are stupid to even answer to this thread. I think i am going to make a thread to find out what the most weird thread here in development is. Lol
guys whats wrong ?
for note i have not tried one but i have used a lot of other androids, s2 and all and have done in around flashes there, and why is is a problem for a thread i mean no offence to any

Use Darky Rom. Overclocking to 1.704 but be careful there. I overclock to 1.600. Otherwise Darky 3.1 has a nice ICS theme. Really smooth and battery life way better. Don't forget to backup first.

Maybe this thread can make a usefull thing.
A thing that i've seen on the dev thread of my older phone : a topic with
all tutos for rooting,
all roms,
all kernels
etc ...
Maybe this could be usefull?
the most useful thing you could do with this thread is CLOSE IT!

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

My blog is relatively very small and does'nt require readers to register nor contains any ads.
So i guess I am allowed to do so.

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

[Q] Advice to unlock/Root GT-i9000 please

Hi all I've not done this before but not noob to the unlocking scene just first time for Android.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
Firmware Version 2.3.5
Baseband Version I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
What I'm looking to do is unlock it to allow me to use any network (currently orange).
after that I would then like to look at changing the rom or upgrading to the latest Rom's where able for SIII & S4. :victory:
I've spend a while reading other post so clearer than others but none that can help me as I'm having trouble finding the correct Kernel.
Please any and all help would be most appreciated.:cyclops:
plenty of unlock apps in the market

then follow this tutorial to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
Update on advice
Hi thanks for posting advice.
I've managed to unlock the phone by using a combination of
Rooting it with Unlock Root via pc
That gave me Superuser (upgraded to pro for £2)
BusyBox Free, Titanium backup Free needed also
Then I was able to use Galaxy S Unlock to save files to sdcard and unlock to any network.:victory:
Now does this mean I'm rooted and don't have to follow all the steps that the link above advices
no need if already got busybox installed

Thanks for comments, can I ask now its rooted do I need to install anything else to allow me to change the Rom's such as newer official ones or once others are raving about.
Thanks.
updating or changing ROM was easy method but deadly also, wrong move will come to brick fone. if u really hav thought it well, juz follow any instruction on xda regarding i9000 after confirming ur device version, backed up baseband, build number n etc involve.
n now u ll need cwm for flashing. find cwm to gain access to recovery n thats where u gonna flash ur custom ROM, but read a lot before doing it as here in Q & A section, many success, also failure posted here, so be sure to read first mate

Congratulations on accomplishing your unlock. Now you might be helped with a good, rich toolbox and clear guides
I'm referring you to some wonderful threads I've come across during similar quests of my own.
(It's all there; but asking the right questions and not seeing the wood for the trees will always remain tricky )
So here are my top three suggestions for your toolbox, in order of importance and relevance. You might find some overlap among them.

As to what ROM to choose, I seriously like to push my own (eventual) ROM of choice, Mackay ROM (Unless gaming on the phone is your thing, which might bring up desires and demands that other ROMs serve even better.)
Good luck!
(And if this post was helpful, please hit THANKS. Thanks )
