So I am replying to my own post as I dont wish to waste anyones time in trying to help me as I seem to have corrected it. What I did was boot into recovery using anreboot and cleared all caches including cache partition. Now I dont know if that was such a great idea, but it does not reboot on its own anymore. If this was windows I would not have any concerns but sadly it is not, and I have trouble grasping linux as I have been spoon fed windows my whole life. Not that particularly like windows, I actually hate it. I have no time to learn a new O/S as I have too much to do as it is.

Try to install GApps with CWM.
GApps from here.

I would reflash the rom completely again. Follow my tutorial fully and when done, wipe cache, and dalvik cache (which is under advanced). If installing apps still doesnt work, flash GApps using CWM. Hope this helps

If nothing works, try installing the Unofficial GAPPS Signed.
By example, CICI Rom have the same issues whit the apps related to google, such earth, viber, etc. And the only way to fix it, its installing the unofficial gapps, i cant post links because im new in xda, but try searching whit words "unofficial gapps" here in P970 forum.
PS: Sorry for my english....

[Q] Cannot Root - Please help!

Hi Everyone,
I know there are numerous posts on here and other sites about how to root your galaxy ace but I have tried them all and nothing seems to work. I have struggled with the phone for the last 17 months. I am due an upgrade in January. The lack of memory and poor performance does my head in. This is my first Android device. I hope newer devices are better else I will try to get an iPhone when I upgrade (or even win mobile).
When I try to root I either get:
"Error in /sdcard/upd_1.zip (status 7) Installation aborted
or
it says installation complete and when I reboot there is nothing to indicate a successfully rooted phone.
I have tried numerous downloaded files such as root,zip, upd_1.zip, update.zip etc and nothing I download seems to do the job.
I tried the Jelly Bean Cyanogen rom for a while but I found it even slower. Ideally I will stick with Gingerbread but I need to remove all the bundled crap. I have already moved as many apps as I can to sd card using the "SetInstallLocation 2" command which helped but I still hate this phone as it is.
Can someone PLEASE help before I pull out what little hair I have left.
Thanks

You can flash a new ROM but can't root?
Just flash a pre-rooted stock ROM. Then delete system apps you don't need. Tada!

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I just downloaded universal_gb_root and it seemed to go okay. Lots of text flashing up screen then message saying something like "your phone now has root access - enjoy"
I restarted fully expecting it to have worked but alas, it is just the same. I then installed root checker from play store which confirms that "this device does not have proper root access."
I will have another look tomorrow after work. (if not chucked phone out car window by then)
How can tesco advertise this phone as "great for app lovers and gamers!" Yeah, if you only want a handful at any one time - grrrr

Sorry to hear that. My phone´s root was done long ago with one of those solutions that didnt work on your phone. So if you dont want to continue to look for a way to root, you can simply install a custom rom that already has root
I dont know stock rom´s already rooted, you have que wait for ironman to show you, But there are custom rom´s based on stock rom´s in this forum. Sorry coulnd be more helpful
[EDIT btw you did open superSU and upgrade the SU binary, or it didnt have superSU at all, after root?

hello searched the web and found this site that is guaranteed to be updated.
Tested the download and installation on my PC and it works, however, have not experienced in S5830 cause I already have root. You might want to find someone who has successfully used

Hi,
I didn't have superSU at all. No new icons or anything indicating root. Thanks for the suggestions. I will try when I get a minute.

Try My Blog.

Root procedure is given and that file there actually works. Tested by me n many other people.

[Q] Apps are not installing after going CM10.1.3 -> CM 10.2

Hi guys,
The title might not be the best but I do not know how to explain it better in few words.
The problem is the following: I was using CM 10.1.3 without any problem and I wanted to update to CM 10.2. So I deleted data, dalwik and cache. I flashed CM 10.2 two or three times and then I flashed the corresponding gapps. I booted to the main screen and waited if my applications will download automatically (as they did when I was upgrading from CM 9 to 10). It have been two days already and still nothing eventhough on the Google Play it says that I have the affected application installed.
Any idea, trick or hint please?
Thank you,
N.

But you use the Gapps to CM 10.2 and not for CM 10.2 ,right???

Google account had worked fine until the update and I would say it works as before even now. I can connect to any G.service as before.

I tried signing off Google account completely yesterday and then I singed in. After few hours I tried doing it again (signing off and in). But no luck until now.
I tried deleting the data and nothing new happened.
Just to let you know one thing (if it makes any difference). I tried to install a new application from Google Store (which I have never had installed on my device and my account) remotely (from within web pages). It starts to download on my phone immediately. Secondly - which is weird - I am able to download applications which were not available previously for my country.

hmmm strange you can download apps from other countries... maybe try a factory reset and see what happens? not sure what else you could do?

I had the same issue, just had to reboot

I think that you have tested with a reboot like willian7 ,right??? It is really strange, of course you can download apps from other countrys ...

Yes, right. I rebooted almost a dozen times since two days ago when I flashed... Really strange

Thanks for the path. However I tried searching for different options and I tried to play with it a bit but nothing. Really strange....
Is there a way how to completely delete the device and flash from scratch so that all the temporary and rom version specific files are deleted? Something like when you would reinstall a PC OS.

Sorry that it doens`t help ...
One idea could be starting from 2.3.5/2.3.6 via odin and then go to CM 10.2 ....like you say as an "new begin" hope it would help ...

By the way, I can see in your signature that you are running CM11. Can it be used on a "production" device? I mean I would need it to work (at least phone, SMS, email, internet) without any problems? The reason why I am asking is that it might be easier to try to upgrade than to downgrade and reinstall. Maybe it is even safer. Or is it trouble free to downgrade?
Thanks again and yes, I will hit the buttons

CM11 is actually in Alpha (=UNOFFICIAL) Status, but for me it works stable...but as I said for me it is only my opinion ...a list of the know bugs can you find here:

Great help, thank you! I think I will give CM11 a try and see if it can be used on a daily basis without any major problem.

No Prob, therefore we are here
Good luck hope it help you for solving your prob and CM 11 will work good for your daily use !!!:fingers-crossed:
!!! Don`t forget to use the new gapps for CM 11 and not the ones for 10.2 !!!
Hope i hear good news in the next days ...:good::good::good:

[Q] Firefox , flash and woe

Hi sorry I know it has probally been asked lots of times but I have searched and I am tearing my hair out now.
can anyone tell me in simple steps or post a link to simple instructions to get firefox and flash installed and working correctly it but had to do a reinstall.
Now when ever I try tvcatchup.com I get unsupported mime type but flash is installed. I CANNOT use the b &n plugin download link as I am not in the US and it is not available in the uk.
thanks

It sounds like your on the bn official rom? Believe you have to be rooted which leapinlar shows how to do in his guide here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811322#post35811322
And you can grab the flash apk anywhere like here on xda -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
If your not on bn offical rom, you just need the latest firefox installed and an apk from above link sideloaded with "unknown sources" setting enabled in android settings. That's it.
Different apk versions may cause flash to act in different ways. I had used the 11.1.115.81 version and it gets the job done.

Something auto updated and made the device unstable. I had backed up the image as it states in the how to but when I went to restore it back got a md5 error. He he serves me right for reading the instructions.
cheers I will give it a try.

Hi. I know I'm probably a bit late, but the Flash browser plugin is available on the UK nook store. Just search for browser plugin.
I tried to post the link, but it says I need 10 posts to do that.
I know this works, as I installed it last week. I'm on the stock rom, so this should work for you. Hope this helps.

kernel

i just downloaded an elemental x kernel
how do i flash it on my htc one m7
and is a rom necessary to be flashed before flashing the kernel.
can i only flash the kernel without flashing any rom?

No offense, but if you needed to ask these questions, you're better off not touching anything on your phone

O come on....how is that no offense
Just because you know now about it you are being an arrogant bastard
I'm just trying to learn here. And there was a time you didn't also knew this.
So....grow up or don't comment.

If you wanted to learn, you would have read something before posting those questions. Those are the very basics of flashing and you have about 10 million posts on how to flash anything on any phone. So, who's the arrogant bastard here? Me or you?

I now know the answer no thanks to you
And yes I searched bit couldn't find anything
I can't install the facebook app and I couldn't find anything
Anyway I don't want to fight. You can keep your precious knowledge in your pocket.
And go be arrogant.

I'll answer your second question since its not already written in the OP of elementalX (as opposed to your first question/how to flash)
No you don't need to flash a rom before flashing a kernel as long as you already have a rom installed (because all roms for the M7 comes with their own kernel so if you flash elementalX first and then a custom rom, elementalX will be overwritten by that rom's kernel.) Make sure you chose the right elementalX version for your rom version.:good:

Whats the problem exactly when you try to install it? You are installing it from the play store?

Yes from play store. I also downloaded apk but couldn't install it
I tried wiping cache, I tried deleting and adding my account but no luck
It gives the error 504. I searched the internet.
There was one guy who said fix permissions but still nothing
I restored my Android and tried installing facebook but still nothing
It worked perfectly on the roms before but suddenly it stopped working.

If it worked fine on all previous roms then it might be a problem with your actual rom....
Try to wipe your cache from recovery or wipe Google play and Google services cache

Yes I tried wiping cache (google play store , google play services , TWRP)
I also wiped dalvik cache
BUT still nothing
Yes I searched on 504. And I tried different internet connections but still nothing

Facebook worked fine on this rom before but now I cannot install it.

Arrogance aside, I just tried to download facebook and it gave me the same error but it installed fine. It must be something with play store or facebook app. You can use facebook lite untill the real facebook works

It's been a month I can't install it. I gave facebook feedback but still.
