Hello,
first of all I used the search and read many different threads! Anyway I couldn't find the answer to my questions. I only got more confused as I already am
I want to use the Zeus rom v6.39! I don't have root or anything. Now my question: I have v20q and want to know if I can do it as described with v20o or v20n and also use the rom?
If possible you could post the links to detailed how tos because I'm new to all that root and rom stuff:angel:
Hy luke. I have the same question and intrests about roms and root for the lgob.
I think that we could make a downgrade with smartflash to the v10a version, root it with gingerbreak and than we can install every rom that we want.
One problem: i don't know if a downgrade works with the smartflash tool and v20q. I recently asked the dev and post a question in the right thread.
Hope that we success together

Hey guys,
follow this advice to install a rooted GB on the OB. This works 100%, I have done this quite a lot of times on different OB versions (also coming from a newer base, e.g. V20n).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23833005
After this, you are rooted V20o and have CWM. If you want to install a custom rom afterwards, think about putting the rom on your SD card before doing the procedure above. With this way you will save some time...
Thanks
Hi, thanks. I'll try your soultions.
Hope that erverything works fine.
greetings

Ok thx guys! If you tell me where I can hit the thx button I will do so...
Is there any method to save my data and apps effectively? And how exactly do I put on the rom after I gained root?
"3. Download Superuser.zip and copy it in root of your SD-cart!! DO NOT EXTRACT!!" does that mean I need to have root already when I copy it on my SD cart?
The app appadmin (don't know if it is still available in the store) help you to backup all your apps.
Your contacts and phonebook can be easily synct with your google account. (Phonebook_settings_export contacts)
You can backup your sms with 'backup&restore' from the market.
No, you don't need root to put the superuser apk to your sd card. That means maybe you can creat a folder called "root" with the superuser apk in there.
Can you please tell us if you managed it to get root?

I still have a question
I do have zeus v6.39 now! but it doesn't look exactly like the pictures. e.g. the status bar looks like the same old android bar and not like its supposed to with zeus...
any suggestions?
Sure that you installed zeus rom? Pls look at phone settings_phoneinformations_last entries(here should you read zeus kernel or version number.
Are you on the zeus rom?

yes it says zeus 6.39 I also don't have a bar to slide down... phone app looks the same as well.
Hm maybe you sould reflash the rom. Don't forget to make a data/factory reset in the cwm recovery. You also sould before installing the rom clear devlik and cache. Hope it works

Youll like this Mod!!!!
Many of us keep on trying new roms every now and then and for that we know we have to always perform this "Pain In The A**" procedure of booting into recovery to make a BACKUP of our roms!!! . Which eats up a lot battery aswell. This mod will help you make a nandroid backup without booting into recovery.
I am not the developer of this MOD....I just helped the developer in making this mod compatible with our device. It works just fine. i have tested it myself. All credits goes to the developer himself.
Requirements:
1. Rooted android phone
2. A terminal emulator installed on phone
3. Latest version of Busybox
4. A working CWM based recovery installed ( Works even with the Temporary one)
5. Some patience
Installation:
1. Download and copy zip file to SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Choose install zip from SD card, select zip and flash
4. Reboot
How to back up:
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type su to obtain root
3. Type onandroid
4. Wait till it notifies you that the backup has been done :good:
5. You can restore it from the CWM recovery as you have always done.

That's strange, I had it installed normally a while ago from the official thread (only used it once, but it worked if I remember correctly).
What exactly is the difference between this & the official one?

As i said i am not the developer...just wanted to share this mod in our forum as it supports. Does it vibrates when the back up is finished? (The script from ameer's thread) . I think it has a add-on of vibration and led lights blinking as and when the backup is finished. ( We Dont have an Led light...(obvious) so that wont work.) I never ran the original script so i have no idea about the vibration thing at the end. This one does vibrate.

I did the onandroid backup with the files installed from the original thread.
2 remarks:
1) you need to install the extra zip file for s5830i referred to with a link in the thread otherwise you will get the error message that your boot partition is not found
2) while making the backup in the background it's better not to stress your phone to much otherwise you will get an automic reboot during the backup process even when the min frequency is set higher than 156 mhz. So I'm not sure if this will work if you will get an incoming call during this backup process

Hello there, I am a newbie in this forum. Last few day I flashed my S5830 with SGSII JB ROM v10.1 and it works well. I love the ROM a lot.
However, today I have found out that, every time after i reboot my phone, some settings of my apps are gone. First problem is the launcher, I am using Go launcher all the while and I set it as default launcher, but after reboot the default setting is gone and I have to set it as default again, every time after reboot.
Second problem I found is the setting of my 3rd party messaging app, the settings in the app are all being reset back to default state, meaning the settings set by me are all gone, again, same thing happens every time after I reboot the phone.
I thought it might be the bug of the ROM, but i looked through ROM thread and seem that nobody mentioned about it, so I am curious why this happens.
Anyone can help out? Thanks.

There is a tweak manager come with the CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b82 I installed( is kernel or CWM, I think? Sorry for being noob), I suspected the problem came from this thing, so i tried to remove all the "ticks" in tweak manager and then reboot again but the same thing happen again.
I had used the darktremor a2sd script provided in it & also the a2sdgui app to have more storage. But some of my apps went missing. Though they were existing, I wasn't able to use them.
Fix : Reflash the rom. Delete the a2sd scripts from the system/etc/init.d folder & try some other a2sd scripts like d2ext+, etc.

Hi guys,
I was testing V30F today and I noticed that media scanner (sdcard read) is faster than any V30b/c or d.
I tested an absolutely stock ROM with stock kernel (from D and F).
It means that sdcard read problem on ICS ROMs is related to some file on /system.
It is not necessary to tweak init.d to get it working faster... (which for me doesn't make any difference)
But I really don't know what is the file that improves this in V30F...
Does anyone notice that?

I flashed Paranoid Android, then I flashed the patched service.jar from you directly. After that I wiped cache and dalvic cache and rebooted.
After the first reboot I went into recovery and mounted /system and /data then I flashed the script and formated /sdext.
I don't know what I've done wrong there.. Maybe I flashed the service.jar not correctly?

Try mounting /sd-ext and formating it when the installation
If it doesn't work, extract the script file from .zip file and put it into init.d manually and set the correct permissons, finally reboot your phone, it should work too

Usually there should be more than this one word (There should be buttons for silence mode, vibration mode,...)
Plus there isn't a lockscreen anymore.. weird
