Thank you my friend,but when you say flash,how do i do that?Do you have some link of thread about how to flash things?
Thank you very much!
PS Pomozi brate !

Flashing means installing stuff using a recovery like cwm or twrp
Please before you proceed do read some information about basic android knowledge,
or you run the risk of running into more disadvantages than bemefits from custom roms and such

I am aware of that,I've already flashed a JB over ICS using this method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134192 ),but that was a long time ago,and then i did not need to root my phone or unlock bootloader.
I am wondering if that method is still good,or should i try another one?I have tried to find a thread where there is explained how to flash using cwm or twrp,but was unable to find it so i would be very greateful if someone points me to a thread where there is explanation on how to do that.

For bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020
Then follow instructions from second post
After you do steps from 0 to 3 (dont forget to put files into your internal memory), you will turn off your phone, press and hold power and volume down button simultaneously, when LG logo appears, press power button three times while still holding volume down, then you can release everything and you should be into recovery witch should look similar to this http://techbeasts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/la-foto.jpg. Now you do steps 4-7, in backup and restore (witch is step 4), just press backup and wait a minute or two for backup to complete. Then go back and press install zip from sd card, then navigate to ROMs zip file you downloaded and click it. You will see output screen showing progress... after ROM is flashed, go again to install zip from sd card, this time you will chose gapps zip file. After that, go back, do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and in advanced tab wipe dalvik cache. Go back, reboot and you should be done!
IF anything goes wrong with flashing, you will reboot into recovery and go backup and restore, and restore.
Srecno

Ok,now that I am an "expert" on flashing all kind of things (ROMs,kernels,CWM,etc),I have different kind of questions....
1)With Vanir 4.4.2 latest nightlies and iodak 9.5 or 9.9 (whatever),havent tweek anything and left it be as it is, my battery drain is catastrofic.For example with JB 4.1.2 when I leave my phone overnight it drains 1-2-3% but with vanir it goes to 15-20%....Why is that?
Also,when i leave wifi on with no surfing,couple sms and maybe 1 min of calls it drains 15-20%.And that is with brightness lowered to 50% (on my JB I allways kept it on 100%).
2)Why are my antutu results that much different on vanir and cm11?I've got almost 16k on vanir and barely 11k on cm11.

Your final observation kinda answers the previous questions, it is a performance driven rom and this usually implies less battery life.
On the other hand I can say that your drain seems a little too high, but without some battery stats it's hard to say....

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace bricked ?

I decided to update my ace's firmware to KitKat using this ROM cm-11-20131229-UNOFFICIAL-cooper++XR.zip, so firstly I rooted the phone then i installed Clockwork Mod Recovery 6.0.4.6 to install said ROM. I did all the steps as normal, however when I rebooted the phone after the installation had taken place it was stuck on the cid boot up screen for 6+ hours which isn't normal, so I tried to start in recovery mode in order to reformat, when to my surprise I got a blue screen. To sum up I cant start the phone as it gets stuck on cid boot up logo and I cant go into recovery mode to reformat, are there any possible fixes? If there are I would be eternally grateful.
Cheers.

If you really need a kitkat version for your ace 5830, Just forget about the current scenario and please follow the steps
1. Firstly connect the phone into download mode to pc and flash stock firmware via odin
you can refer the link for this http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-in...mware-on-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-using-odin/
2. Install clockwork mode recovery(cwm) version 5 not 6

( or ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
From the above google drive link you will get the CWM recovery version 5 which named as recovery-clockwork-5.zip
3. You will get access to stock recovery after you finished flashing stock firmware via odin
4. I would suggest below the kitkat rom link which is able to flash it via CWM version 5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561861
5. Copy the kitkatrom.zip and cwm5.zip into sdcard

7. Do factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache
8. Install the kitkatrom.zip via recovery
9. Finally reboot and Enjoy the Kitkat version

Please tell me what rom were you on previousy before u had this problem. Can u boot to recovery? If you can, try flashing philz_touch_6.19.3-n7000.zip and reboot to recovery again. After that do all wipes: factory wipe reset n Yes I wanna flash a new rom superwiper. Then wipe dalvik cache. After that flash omnirom. If you still can't proceed, then I suggest you flash stock rom first to let your phone boot to system

Ok. So I'll assume u r back to "0". So things to do will be :
1. Root and install custom recovery on your phone. I ALWAYS use older phils recovery + kernel such as PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed (XXLTA is based on my stock rom BUILD number. Download according to yours) This will give you root (superuser) & recovery installed.
2. After flashing phils, reboot to recovery by using 3 button combo n do ALL wipes the best being wipe factory + I want to install new rom super wiper + dalvik cache.
3. Flash my previous post mentioned phils advanced recovery ( I Always use that vers. N NO error whatsoever) reboot to recovery again n flash your omnirom.
4. DONE

Hello, I have seen, it is the first time you are installing a rom. So please be careful!
You must read exactly the Instruktions from the OP.
Hello,
2. Reboot to recovery(only TWRP/CWM Touch/PhilZ is supported)
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649923
CWR you have used does not work for flashing the rom :angel:
Btw, when you are flashing a rom for the first time, and you have less experience with roms you should to consider, if you take another rom. For the rom you choosed is still in Beta status!
Take a stable or nightly rom. Anyway you have at least to install CWR from the above Link.
Good luck!

I used an old version of CWM maybe thats why :crying:
YES!! I have the ones you recommended installed already!, :laugh:
So can i just install the latest nighly ??? (for me instaling is doing the installation from the recovery is the same as flashing?)
Im in stock rom so can't really understand about the kernel, if I install the nightly or these one, have the kernel included?, or do i have to install the kernel? (and how??? these step is done with flashtool right?)

Yes hou have had the wrong CWM. Herewith you can install (Flash=same) every rom you want (build for LOCKED BOOTLOADER)! Forget it with the kernel. On locked bootloader you cannot install any other kernel. The kernel you need for a rom is included in the rom!
And again: When you flash a new rom - read the instructions from the OP :fingers-crossed:

Flashing other roms than Andro X doesn't work

I just updated my bootloader and whenever i try to flash a rom, the booting process takes forever until i wipe my phone myself. But when i flash Andro X rom than it takes max. 3min to boot and then it works.
But i want another rom, how do i fix this?

Do you mean that when u flash lollipop based rom it gets bootloop? if yes then first flash stock lollipop firmware and then try flashing other rom. I mostly wipe my internal storage when going from Kitkat to lollipop it works for me.

Well Firstly Explain your problem clearly (I didnt quite understand it)
OK so here's my solution from what I understood..
1. Restore your stock rom Backup from recovery. Boot it once.
2. Now clean flash (Wipe System, Data , Cache, Dalvik cache) a lollipop based Rom (preferably try to clean flash cm 12.1 build)
3. Dont flash Gapps. First see if your phone boots up properly.
4. Configure data and reboot to recovery and flash Gapps.
If you dont have a Stock backup, Then download Stock Firmware images from gregor's thread and install via fastboot. Then follow from step2.
Hope this helps you.

My problem is that when i try to flash roms like CM12, Blisspop it doesn't stop booting, it was taking more than an hour so i shutdown my phone and when i flashed Andro X the booting took around 3mins.
So can anyone explain in easy steps how to fix this?

OK now I understand what your problem is. Give me your full specs (like which Model and and stuff). But if you follow what I said above it might fix your problem.

are you fully wiping cache and userdata (factory reset) because this is most common problem moving between Roms that causes bootloops and why I include factory reset in my easy installer.
you can only dirty flash when going up (upgrading) the same rom - changing roms or downgrading nearly always causes bootloop / hang.
