I need official CyanogenMOD for my Galaxy Ace S5830. The latest that is the MOST STABLE for Ace, meaning if CyanogenMOD 10 is latest but has bugs, and CyanogenMOD 9 is stable, then I want 9.
And I do mean absolutely no bugs whatsoever. ALL apps must be working, such as fm radio, camera, wifi, bluetooth, etc
If you can, please answer these questions as well:
1. To install a custom ROM like CyanogenMOD, is flashing ClockworkMod Recovery a prerequisite?
2. Can I flash ClockworkMod Recovery by first installing "ROM Manager" from play.google.com ? In other words, does ROM Manager have the ClockworkMod Recovery?
3. Do phones need to be rooted to flash a custom recovery (like ClockworkMod Recovery) ?
4. If phone is running CyanogenMOD, can it still use Samsung Kies to restore contacts?
5. What is a nightly?
Thank you so much!!!

Cyanogenmod 7.2 nightly or rc3 are stable. Also cyanogenmod by frozenaceteam is very stable. Cyanogenmod 9 and 10 still have a lot of bugs.
1. Yes you need clockworkmod recovery to install custom roms.
2. Do not install or touch rom manager as it will hard brick your device. Rom manager does not support ace.
3. Yes rooting is essential.
4. Once cyanogenmod is installed, kies will no longer detect phone. Try googling android contact backup.
Click thanks if i helped!

What is a nightly? Is rc3 another custom ROM?
Also, in the ROM Manager page at play.google.com , it says:
"Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)"
Should I be concerned with this? Not that I wish to use ROM Manager; I'm just curious....
Thanks a lot!

Actually i wouldnt recommend the nightly version, as it still has some bugs and is for advanced users who uprade this every night. Rc3 stands for Real Canidate 3 and is close to becoming final. It has no bugs so i recommend it. These are all variants of cyanogenmod. I also found another rom called cyanogenmod 7.2 official. This is the final release and has no bugs. You can try rc3 or official and see which one is better in battery and performance.
Do not worry about it. You can root it. Then install clockworkmod recovery and flash the rom. There are many tutorials on xda. I recommend watching video tutorials too
Please hit thanks!

RC3 is release candidate. It IS the official build.These are stable builds.Nightly builds on the other hand are builds that are made by Jenkins(build bot) everyday.
I recommend using vo-1's CM build though..
Oh,and you can't use Kies with CM7,and...
NEVER USE ROM MANAGER,it will hard brick your device.

No offense...But most of what you said is wrong...
RC stands for release candidate
Cyanogen Mod 7.2 is a rom.
RC and nightlies aren't variants.These are names for the builds,there are nightlies,Release Candidates and stable builds..
RC3 IS the office build.Ace doesn't have the stable version yet.
CM is pre-rooted and comes with CWM recovery.
Root is also not required for flashing from recovery.

If so, how is the speed? and battery performance?
Also, are you referring to the cm10 for ace that is NOT an official cyanogenmod? Because I know cyanogenmod team will not develop cm10 for ace because they know ice cream sandwich would degrade functionality of ace.

Hi prawesome. I still don't get the difference between nightlies and Release Candidates. Are they not "stable" versions?
Also, you say root isn't required to flash a custom recovery?
And you also say "CM is pre-rooted and comes with CWM recovery". But I thought you need to get cwm recovery first before you can flash CM? Why does CM come with CWM recovery when CWM recovery is already a prerequisite?
Anyway, can you just recommend the LATEST STABLE version of cyanogenMOD for Galaxy Ace S5830? and if it's not too much trouble, can you post the link?
Thanks a lot!

I know you asked Prawesome, but I can help you with some of your answers:
The following passage is taken from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about
"Right now, CyanogenMod consists of two parallel and active major versions: CyanogenMod 7 is based on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), and CyanogenMod 9 is based on Android 4.0 (ICS); CM9-capable devices are being phased out of CM7, but since there’s a large amount of devices still on the market that aren’t capable of fully running Android 4.0, CyanogenMod 7 exists to support them. The variants of the firmware are split into 3 categories, Stable, Release Candidate and Nightlies. The Stable version, as suggested by the title, is the tried and tested variant of the firmware proven to be mostly bug free and suitable for daily use. The latest stable version is available for an assortment of the officially supported devices. A Release Candidate (RC) build may not be the final version, but a variant that has no fatal flaws or bugs, on the stabilization stages to become the final product that is the Stable variant. Lastly we have the Nightlies, which are as volatile as a firmware can get. These releases keep coming at an interval of a day or two and if you do end up trying one of these, do not be alarmed if the your device goes cuckoo on you. These ROMs are largely untested, and as advised by CyanogenMod, not meant for use for an average user. These releases, are meant to test untested waters that may or may not break your phone."
As for the latest official CyanogenMod Rom for our device, go to get.cm (by typing "get.cm" without quotation marks into your browser and look for cooper (not ace))
Cheers
Rich

Official stable download link: http://get.cm/get/2K8
I would say though, that a lot of people find that roms based on Vo-1's version much better, like Droidace, Apocalypse (second last release), and the work Cryss is doing to keep Vo-1's CM7 going for example. I do urge you to give these a try too.
At the end of the day there is no best rom and you must try quite a few to find the one that suits you best.
Happy flashing!

If you take the time to read this thread you will see that
1) nightly versions are unstable by nature and are not recommended for regular users
2) unofficial versions based on vo-1's cm7 are recommended
Try another ROM
@venkatcse539 Try Aplocalypse (its a barebone rom) or cyanmobile (it awesome) or democracy (its latest updated and stable)

Hi, I use the Revolution Light v3 ROM. Now, I wish to move to the Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable ROM, but when i flash it and reboot the device, it gets stuck on the boot animation.
Can you please help me finding what could be wrong?
P.S - I am a newbie in flashing ROMS and Revolution Light v3 is my 1st custom ROM.

Why did you revive this old thread? This is supposed to be asked in the thread of the rom you're installing.

Hi.
Ive installed Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 official stable version yesterday. Everything is amazing, theres just one little nasty thing.
When I lock my screen it takes 3-4 secs to wake up again, this is really annoying. Anyone else with this problem? Is this / will this be fixed in any CM or FreeXperia release?
Can I somehow return to stock Android lockscreen, cause it seems that CM has its own Lockscreen app.
Please help, i wanna stay on CM!
EDIT:
For anyone with this problem: I updated to 10.1.3 RC1 using CM Updater and its gone!

It will be fixed in 10.1.3 which will be out in a few days. For now you should use the latest nightly:

FXP (FreeXperia) is exactly the same as Cyanogenmod, they are responsible for developing CM for the entire xperia-range.
As for installation, you'll need to fastboot flash boot boot.img from the latest nightly as it is a newer kernel, then wipe/factory reset.

Yeah right, I was getting into boot problem on 6th nightly too. I go to CM's web site and found out the 6th and 7th nightly are almost 10mb less than the 4th Sep Nightly. I am not sure if it is just me to have problem, but it turns out it is not. Hope they really check and look into it soon.

This ROM is under heavy development.
This is a Patch release, things may be broken.
Overview
Side Note: For some reason my phone doesn't like CWM, It is unable to mount E:/, If anyone could help I'd appreciate it as it would speed this up considerably.
This is MIUI v5 based on our stock blur stuff, I'd like to know if it boots and if so, what's wrong with it if anything, It built w/out an error message so...
First boot will take a while, be patient.
MIUI v5 Patchrom Download
0.01 11.11.13 : MIUIv5 Stock
Misc Notes
Very first release, things built without error but don't be surprised if this is a dud in some way
OK I'm gonna give it a go after I back up my KitKat build and will report back asap.

Other than the Cyanogenmod version, does anyone have a KitKat ROM for Nook HD? I tried the CM 11 version but it had very flaky WiFi reception--only found one AP and when disconnected it wouldn't find that AP again, even. Going back to CM 10.1.3, all local APs turned up in a WiFi scan.

There is an awesome KitKat ROM (also CyanogenMod, but unofficial) out there.
I have been using that one for months. Official CM11 has to many bugs.
You will need the latest CWM to flash it.
Here is the link to the latest version of the ROM: http://goo.im/devs/succulent/hummingbird/cyanogenmod/internal/cm_hummingbird_11.0_16JAN2014_HD.zip
