Really thanks for ur time and help!
So i got a samsung galaxy ace, it's rooted and with b84 CF-Root kernel.
1) The thing is sometimes, I press Wi-Fi button or Bluetooth, and in the Wifi it says Error and on bluetooth just won't conect. I don't know what the problem is, and the only solution is to reboot the phone. Is this a problem? Can it be fixed? If It can, how? If not, please read point number 2.
2) If its not fixable, what ROM you advice me to reinstall? I have s5830XWKS2, some people say the DDxxx8(or something like that) is better don't know why I'm no programmer...
2.1) If I really have to have to reinstall it in order to fix it, how can I do it? Can you point out the thread for it?
3) I run a small business, and I use Tasker for all my stuff. together with other 60+ apps I need to keep, i'm using SD card with ext partition with Link2SD. And the thing i'm most afraid of, is loosing all the data. I came from a Nokia 5800XM, and I flashed it some times, backups are easy to do. Now here on Android becomes a bit complicated. Maybe never someone cleared me enough about it. So what can I do to sucessfully restore all data on the new ROM? I got Titanium backups, and CWM..Will that backup even my dictionary saved words?
4) Thanks, and please, again, make notice that I can't loose anything due to my business, but I can't work with phone needing to reboot at random times cause of wifi or bluetooh beeing bricked.
First of all. There is no such things as urgent situation here. You should remember that.
Second thing. You should post questions in Q&A sub-section. General is for sharing and discussions.
Third thing. There is a adb logcat thingie, which allows to understand a root of your problem more than 'Help me. Something doesn't work'
I remain this thread open but move to correct section.

Yes I experienced the same problem,could be software bugs problem so I think you can reinstall your software for the better.
I prefer cm mod7/8 for ace as it is much faster so you can try Google cyanogenmod for ace. They have all the tutorial you need.
As for your Apps, titanium backup will do fine. Its the best backup so far. Your dictionary words is the default system one? I recommend you smart keyboard pro as it has the function to backup all your words
So in short, backup your EVERYTHING with titanium backup, rmb your contacts too, and install cyannogen mod 7 or 8 whichever you prefer! Hope this helps!

There's no such thing as cyanogen mod 8...only unofficial cm 7.1 kang and official cm 7.2...
Nunopitbull, wifi & bluetooth problems that you experience are caused by the kernel, not the firmware or rom...so my suggestion is to use a kernel that is not based on cf root or use a stock kernel (the one that came with your phone)...just root your phone with the update zip method will do, and for cwm flash the zip for it...the newest version for sga is 5.0.2.6...there's no need to flash a custom kernel...
About cwm backups, it backups your whole system and data partition and also your boot.img (kernel related)...so yes, it is quite safe to say that your whole phone is backup-ed...but keep in mind that stock roms use .rfs format for the partitions...new custom roms use .ext4 format...so to flash a backup of a stock rom, first flash a fresh stock firmware with ODIN and the cooper.pit file...then re-root and re-flash cwm to restore your phone...
And fyi, link2sd uses a second partition right? The apps inside the second partition can be relinked if you reset the phone...as long as you don't format the second partition...but personally I suggest you to use DTa2sd or amarulzz script as it saves more internal space...check it out...
Hope that all the above helps...
So you're saying my problem of wi-fi/bluetooth is because of kernel? Can you help me by PM how to get it working again? I wanted a custom kernel don't remember already why, but I think was for the custom speeds of CPU, so I could have low ones..
Just want this bug to disapear of bluetooth and wifi!

So far I haven't seen a custom kernel for sga that works flawlessly...especially the ones with oc function...only stock kernels work with the least problems...since you want to underclock, just use the stock kernel and set it to the lowest value with an app like set cpu...it shall do you fine...

What are the other advntages with the CF Root kernel? I can't remmeber why I puted it, but I think they were another reason behind it...
Where I can get teh stock kernel? Or which one you advise?
Chill please...don't shoot questions in here...if you want quick answers, please search about it (e.g. go to the cf-root thread and read about the features, I don't memorise them, but I believe you want the overclock and a2sd features)...If you want direct answers, you will have to wait...
I understand that you need your phone for your business, it's very important to you...I'm trying my best to help out here ok? To get a stock kernel, just flash a stock firmware via ODIN...but you will have to re-root and re-flash cwm...any stock kernel will do, as long as it is with the firmware you flashed...

Try flashing a new kernel, this is NOT a rom issue, just a kernel issue.
Hi Guys.
Well, first of all, before someone jumps in and yell at me for such a question, I apologize in advance but I already know that is impossible to do it, but I still have some doubts about what could be some possible solutions for my problem.
In resume, I had my Captivate with Eclair 2.1 Stock rom, I wanted to use CM9, so I took KK4 Stock Rom from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
as requested in the CM Wiki - Captivate Full Update Guide, then flashed mtcarey's Kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery 5, at that step, before flashing CM9, I made a Nandroid Backup just in case something went wrong, and also because I liked GB, I used GB for about 2 days just to give it a try, then I flashed CM9 and everything worked great.
Now, I have made a Nandroid backup of CM9 too, both backups are in my PC too; And here it comes my problem, I know I cant use CWM to restore KK4 Nandroid Backup, cause I already tried and It throws me an error flashing boot img, and end up in a boot loop, (I think that's pretty normal isn't, Things we need to do to learn ), also, don't know if that's because different CWM versions, cause CM9 comes with a newer version of CWM than the one of mtcarey's kernel.
So, Is there anyway I can take the Stock KK4 Rom and make it CWM compatible?, Or everytime I'd like to get back to GB I'll have to do all the Odin thing, flash mtcarey's kernel again, and then use my Nandroid Backup to really get back, and then keep making Nandroid backups to keep updating my Roms.
BTW, I don't care about apps, Call logs o SMS; I only care about contacts and I have them all in my SIM; And again, apps are ok cause Nandroid backups cover them, and I don't usually have that many apps, just the necessary ones.
Note: I'd like to Switch between this Roms cause, I really like the look of GB, I prefer the Camera app too, and in the 2 days I used it, I don't know if It's just me or not, but I found GB handling my battery more efficiently; And Of course I like CM9 cause has more settings to edit, more customizable, etc.
Thanks in advance!
PS: Sorry I Didn't notice I can't post Questions in this section, can some admin move it to Q&A section? Would be very appreciated.
Once u r running CM or similar, in order to go back to GB Stock firmware or Roms based on that, you must use Odin or Heimdall to flash back to GB...because the partitions are different. Stock firmware = BML/rfs partitions and CM, AOSP, AOKP, MIUI and such like = MTD/ yaffs(2) partitions.
Flashing from GB, froyo, or eclair to CM or the like only requires u to do full wipe and then flash the Rom twice in CWM...first flash in ur current cwm. second flash of rom in that rom's cwm recovery that comes up from first flash.
U can only restore nandroid backups when u r back on that Rom u were on when u made the back up. And u need to be using the same cwm recovery/ kernel u were using when u made said backup.

Many Thanks man, well that entirely clear my doubts, I suppose if I just keep using both Roms time to time, of course It wont be every week but so much time more, I just need to keep my Nandroid backups of both Roms, to do all the back-to-stock-flash-again thing and restore the backup and continue using the rom from where I left it... or in any case, switch from CM9 to anther custom ROM... from now I'll stay in CM9 till CM10 reach an stable version.
Again, thanks man, really appreciated.
No prob. :thumbup:

Hello people from XDA,
I have a few questions that hopefully can be answered:
I have the Galaxy S GT i9000 and I really want to have jellybean 4.1 instead of gingerbread. I have run into a lot of problems when I tried to put custom ROM (I think it was the F4k ICS ROM) and a lot of problems when trying to root. I now sucessfully have it rooted on XXJVU 2.3.6
What I want to know: Is the Jellybean 4.1 for daily use? I use my phone for work and school, so I don't need a ROM that can't for example call or send SMS.
Does 3G and Wi-Fi work?
Will I run into problems starting up? When flashing the F4k ICS ROM I couldn't stop it from staying at the "Kernel semaphore" even after waiting 10 - 20 minutes.
Is it STABLE?
Do I have acces to Google Play
Do I have USB to computer access?
Do I NEED to make a backup with Titanium Backup, or isn't it neccessary? It really doesn't matter for me if I have to set my settings manually again.
I hope these can be answered. For as far as I searched, I couldn't find any answers related to my questions.
Thanks in advance,-
Hello
Yes you can use cm10 as daily.almost everything works
has ccaseder
everything you asked for should work if you set it all up correctly
To get to 4.0.4 - CM9 here is a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546&highlight=jw4. You can skip first steps if you have a rooted GB / CWM.
After that to go to CM10 (4.1.2) it's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778526
Everything is working great in 4.1.2 CM10.
First you should backup EFS, save contact/sms/mms/call log with Go Backup (Titanium also as it can't hurt to have 2 backups).
Backup is needed as the phone will be wiped.
In my opinion CM10 is almost as 'stable'(in every way you could think off) as CM9. Some people still wait for a real stable, if you really don't want to encounter anything weird you could go for CM9 instead.
Helly Bean
Try Helly_Bean, smoother and faster than CM10 in my opinion and all works fine out of the box.

Well 4.1.2 is out now and yes it can be used as daily use. It is important to know that in order to have a good experience with jellybean you should go from gingerbread to ICS to JB in that order or you can loose your IMEI number and that is important. Don't forget to do a backup (nandroid) on your phone in the recovery menu. Yes you will have google play and usb . Read the op of the rom you want to install as now to go to 4.1.2 there is a couple of extra steps usually with a new partition layout (you might have to flash the same JB rom up to three time to get it to work properly). Good Luck JB is awesome and fast
Im using X-Bean 3.0 + Semaphore 2.4.4s on a daily base & its running smooth and stable here. I came from stock GB, rooted it and flashed the rom right away.
Had 2 flash it twice. After full wipe flash the rom.
First time phone reboots and wont pass the semaphore logo.
Take battery out and reboot into recovery mode, flash the rom again.
This time install will complete. Reboot & there u go. U can flash kernel after........
Hello,
I just got Galaxy S i9000 with outdated gingerbread DarkyROM installed. I am going to update it to one of JB 4.2.2 ROM so I was wondering if anyone could recap the proper process? Here is what I plan to do:
- update recovery
- nandroid backup in recovery
- full backup with Titanium Backup
- wipe data/cache (factory reset)
- flash new ROM
Is that it? Or have I forgotten something?
I would also greatly appreciate recommendation for a nice, stable ROM. It should be as much bugless as possible since I won't be able to update it for a while.
Thanks for help!
Back up ur efs (imei)
As for which ROM that's more tricky I'd say you would be best finding a ROM you like the look of and ask people posting on the thread their opinion

you need to go cm9 first through cwm flash the file twice it will bootloop first time then cm 10 then pick a rom one thing you should know some people experiencing loss of data connection on jb but hey if you dont try it you will never know ics is pretty stable good luck
Hi there. I have samsung galaxy s1 and its so slow!!! Most of time i have 270m ram using so im asking what is the best combinition of rom+android version will be best for battery saving, and basiclly for lower ram memory so my device will woek fast.
Oh n is it hard to change rom+android version?
If something go wrong any way to restore the device or its gonw forever(not talking about the content)

Sorry for my english try to understand
What Android version are you using?
1. If you're running a jelly bean rom and you wanna change the rom, you will have to factory reset (meaning all your apps will be gone). Most (If not all) jelly bean roms require that. Im not sure about Gingerbread.
2. To backup your phone so you could restore it later you need CMW. If you have it installed all you need to do is boot into it, select backup and restore and then choose backup and if later you wanna go back to your previous android rom you can click restore. you can also choose to back your android up to an sd card by choosing Backup to external storage (or whatever its called).
3. Good roms are: Gamerzrom, Cyanogenmod 10.1 (or you can choose 10.2 if you want Jelly bean 4.3), Slimbean
4. Usually installing roms is fast and simple and can take up to 5 minutes if you know what youre doing.
