Hello Gang,
I am highly knowledgable on several Samsung devices, but zilch on the Ace 5830. My sister just got an Ace, and she's bumping into the "Low Memory" error. Then I noticed that the Carrier has installed all sorts of bloatware branded by them which....she never uses. Now, I am interested in a stock-like ROM that keeps Samsung's Apps, no wacky bootscreen, and not many tweakware (just to be sure some young curious fellow messes with the phone). Gingerbread is fine, this is not at all for an advanced user.
Thanks
Paul
Well. If you want no tweaks and bloatware.
The best is stock ddkq8.
Rooted, and with the cf-root kernel.
For low internal memory.
Do this:
1. Backup SD Card.
2. Reboot to cwm recovery. Here's how to partition using cwm:
Reboot to CWM Recovery
Go to advanced
Select Partition Sd Card
Select in MB, how much you want to partition on sd card. 1024 mb is quite enough.
Select 0m for the next screen.
After it's done, Reboot
Now download S2e or apps2sd and move apps to sd-ext partition.
To Root and install cwm, use my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797986

Just like what nathan said, stock lite might be the rom you're looking for. It's lighter and more efficient than the original stock rom. All of the useless bloatware included in the stock rom is not present in stock lite rom.

Sorry about the multiple posts . The page didn't redirect me to the thread after submitting my post so I assumed that I need to submit it again. I'll immediately delete my multiple posts.
Or you might want to use Adrenaline rom XWKT7...it's light too and super fast......dta2sd is also pre applied, so there's no need to do extra steps...fyi, there are users who complained that stocklite is not as fast as adrenaline...but that's a user review...nothing personal...
Hello, i want to ask if you can recommend me some ROM to flash on my note...
Im looking for Touchwiz ROM with working s-pen stuff...
Good Battery life

If its somewhere then skip track with volume keys since i miss it from E3D

I have good battery life with TMT 5.0 Final Rom.
What do you mean by good battery life i have 12 hrs with light usage (few hrs of MP3) some games and web) on stock 4.0.4
almost the same on XXLSA
make efs backup, before anything except root. This to secure pcode, imei and bunch of other stuff. Only needs to be done once
Save both off and on phone
Then go and try various roms for flavour

I'm using this ROM and I love it because it is stock and it is the only one for me that doesn't freeze.

I think this ROM do the job for u. I'am using it and its great. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007589
If you are a newbie and want something rock-solid, stable, I wouldn't recommend a JB leak or a heavy customized ROM. However, if you want to experiment, you could try Ultimate XXLSA JB ROM. For me it's being very stable so far, but you will need to apply some patches in CWM recovery after flashing it. For a stable ICS ROM I would recommend RocketROM ICS, it worked great for me.
In any case, I suggest you follow my guide for a thorough clean-up before flashing. This way you ensure nothing old is left and minimize possible issues:
1) Wipe data
2) Wipe cache
3) Wipe dalvik cache
4) Format /system & /preload
5) Format internal sdcard (make sure you save anything you need before)
6) Flash ROM
7) Wipe cache again
8) Wipe dalvik cache again
9) Reboot
Step 5 is to ensure old app data is not left back. Make sure you save anything you want. Steps 7 and 8 I don't know if are needed, but I prefer to be a bit paranoid (not sure if after flashing a ROM it could come with stuff in cache & dalvik). And I avoid restoring apps from Titanium Backup, but it should work except for system apps & data.
I am on JB XXLSA 3.0 (TW) Rom from SVA.
It is very stable and has a good Battery Life. :good:
Btw. Rocket Rom will no longer be distributed, so better look for something other.

Hey guys and gals,
Noob here, only installed 1 or 2 ROM's in the past, but I would now like a hand deciding on a suitable ROM for my needs on my Galaxy Tab P1000 (UK/European)
I would like a ROM that is nice and responsive, has good battery life and is fairly customisable, and I guess most come already rooted? I would prefer it to be ICS or JB too I have looked about and seen a few CM10 ones, some MIUI ones and various others but I am lost for choice, I have no idea what ones are best.
I want everything to work (all wireless connections, camera etc...) don't mind things like auto brightness or similar as that isn't major. The main reason for wanting to change from the stock gingerbread is because I find it unresponsive and boring.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, thought Q&A was my best bet.
Thanks,
Cam.
Actually your best bet is to try them out yourself. All criteria are subjective.

Hey again,
Quick question,
For the MIUI v4 ICS ROM, which I like the look of alot, it needs a "restock" and install Overcome or a CM9 guide to be followed. (ROM link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613842 )
However, do I still need to do this as I haven't already installed any custom ROM? If I do can you give me a feint idea how I can approach it? Or can I just wipe cache/data etc.. and install the ROM?
Sorry if I am being a pain, not had to do any of this before.
Thanks,
Cam.
Many has your problem.
The thing is, newer ( well, post April 2012) ROM use new MTD layout, which need you to come from stock, or from same layout.
If your custom ROM were GB, no issue. They are stock BML partition, which the new rom can convert upon install.
If it were cm9 or 10, watch the mtd layout. The installer isn't made to convert older mtd to new mtd, so need restock.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Ok so as I have no custom ROM at all I need to restock to new layout. No problem, just wanted to know if it was necessary for me to do it.
Thanks for your help,
Cam.

Think I have got it, can someone please confirm my steps to make sure I am doing it right?
1. Flash latest CWM recovery using Odin
2. Make Nandroid backup using CWM
3. Flash GB-stock-safe, then flash Overcome kernel 4.0.0.tar using Odin for both (do I do these separately or is there a way to flash them together?)
4. Place MIUI v4 ROM and GApps etc.. on Tab's SD card.
5. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data and flash ROM.
6. Flash GApps and patch's etc...
7. Reboot into ROM
If it doesn't reboot into MIUI I need to reflash the ROM as the first flash converted my Tab to MTD? Is that correct?
Hopefully I have got it,
Thanks in advance,
Cam
Actually, am I right in saying CWM isn't fully supported on P1000? What recovery should I use?
Sorry for all the questions again,
Cam.
Cwm is contained in kernel.
If you are willing to forgo backup, must start with GB stock safe v5
Then overcome kernel.
By then you have a cwm recovery.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Got it all installed/flashed last night. Went all ok and I worked out that the kernel included overcome cwm after reading a guide from the link in your Sig.
I suppose its good that I love the ROM too
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.

Hey Guys,
Next Weekend (Friday December 20), I will finally make the jump to Jelly Bean from Gingerbread. I know that Kit Kat is also available, but it is much more buggy than Jelly Bean, and stability is my main goal, which is why I stayed on Gingerbread for so long. My plan for upgrading is this:
-Make a complete backup and snapshot of my device (Nandroid + Titanium Backup + Backup both Internal and External SD Cards to Computer) in case something goes wrong.
-Fully format both internal and external SD Cards (Including second Link2SD Partition in Ubuntu)
-Use AIO Toolkit to upgrade to New bootloader, and set up all new partitions, etc.
-Use AIO Toolkit to flash TWRP 2.6.0.0/ 2.6.3.0 For new bootloader (If it becomes available by the time I flash)
-Wipe Everything in Recovery
-Flash the latest TheROM 26 Stable (Most stable 4.3.1, with awesome extra features), + Kowalski Kernel M1 Stable, but I am keeping a close eye on the 3.1 developments (the 3.1 Hijuni port is too unstable for daily use currently, and Pengus mentions that Kowlaski features are being ported and code is being cleaned up for the Kowalski 3.1 release), so basically, I will make the kernel decision the day of the flashing operation.
-Flash Tonyp's full Non-Neon gapps from the development section
-Flash extra ROM Goodies, like feav's camera mod
-Reboot, let sit for a few minutes, and reboot again after first boot
-Begin setting up ROM/ Kernel and begin installing apps fresh from Google Play, and only restoring data from titanium backup for certain apps like games, etc.
Regarding the above, I have a few questions:
To begin, are the above steps proper? Is there anything that I should add or remove?
Secondly, when the 2.6.3.0 for New bootloader becomes available, it is as simple as flashing the new image through AIO Toolkit with no loss of data?
Lastly, does the Full non-neon gapps by Tonyp contain everything? Is there a better gapps to flash? I want the full Google apps experience, and the included mini-gapps does not contain everything I think.
I know this is a long post, but I really want to make sure I'm doing this right, and hopefully someone can use this thread in the future to do things proper also. Thanks in advance.
hi, I think the steps are correct. changing the bootloader will format the internal sd, but it doesn't matter if you format it before it. If tonyp makes a new twrp available you can flash it through the previous version of it, then you reboot recovery and it will be the updated version. not sure about the gapps question, but it surely contains play store, so you can install the latest version of the Google apps manually from it. good luck.

Hello,
Thank you very much. I will continue to research and if I have any questions which I cannot find the answer to, I will ask here. Thanks again.

Yeah. Your steps are fine.
The new 3.1 kernel is awesome. I am using it with TheROM build 25. You might wanna try it.
TonyP's GApps have most of the important Google Apps. It's sufficient, I think.
And, AFAIK, a new recovery doesn't need a data wipe of any kind.
Have fun Flashing and Upgrading!
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
Thanks for your answer! I think I will stick with the KK M1 build, and maybe when the 3.1 kernel becomes a bit more stable I will flash it. It's not too big of a deal, because a kernel upgrade is just wiping dalvik and regular caches, installing, and setting up kernel settings, which is a lot less work than a ROM upgrade. I think I will stick with Tonyp's non-neon full gapps, and I'll upgrade the recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.0 newbl whenever it becomes available . Thanks again!

Hello,
I have remebered a question I forgot to ask. Is Pdroid 2.0 supported in TheROM, and if it is, is it stable? Could I just use the auto patcher to add the functionality? Thanks again.

Starting right now!
Hey Guys,
I'm starting the upgrade right now! I will post results after everything is done. I decided to use XPrivacy instead of the newer PDroids, because they contain bugs and are no longer developed. See you guys on the other side.

Hello,
Going through the Android/Original development forums, I notice a lot of work in progress ROM/Kernels. I used to flash constantly , but those days are over.
I have an old nexus 7 2012 ( has kit kat on it, but already rooted ). Was wondering if someone could suggest a fast/stable ROM/Kernel that is specifically for the Nexus 7 ( not a ROM that is used for both phones/tablets etc ) that is close if not "FINAL".
Stock kit-kat seems slow and of course the battery life blows. Thanks for any suggestions
Standard XDA response to these questions:
Start flashing and decide for yourself. Its all opinion and taste. There's no answer to your question.

@shezzy69 - 4.4.3 is on the horizon! May address some of your concerns.
My ROM BSZKitKat plus M-Kernel by @Metallice is what me and my daughter use on our 2012 nexus 7s. The ROM is nothing special just bone stock zipaligned and rooted (use odex for closest to stock experience). The real magic's in the kernel see his thread for recommended settings. Links:
M-Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168787
BSZKitKat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533035
Also like @kj2112 said there are TONS of options. My ROM is basic and is just Google's factory image with SuperSU and zipaligned. A lot of very neat compiled from source options can be found in the original development forum! Kernels too. I've tried RASTAKAT ParanoidAndroid SlimKat and CM11... keep coming back to stock much of this is just preference.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't know about 4.4.3 coming, however, I am rooted so would I still be able to get the update legit or would I have to revert back to something else?
Also, I used to be experienced with flashing n7 no problem but am starting to get confused with all the talk of f2fs and am afraid I'll mis-match or corrupt a partion while trying to use f2fs.
The MKernal looks really nice. Which version would you suggest for 4.4.2 stock kit-kat without the f2fs support. Also, can I just install the kernal without a custom rom? Mostly just looking for speed/battery improvements over 4.4.2 stock.
Thank again :good:

You bet! F2fs looks cool I have yet to play with it. Android uses a Linux file system for its disk partitioning called ext4 which was originally designed for disks with read heads and platters... F2fs or something similar is I'm betting its replacement by Google in the future. For now we can try it ourselves like you have been seeing but it requires:
a recovery that knows how to format a partition with the f2fs file system (custom cwm recovery available in original development forum)
a kernel with f2fs support
for f2fs on the /system partition... a rom that before it installs itself will format /system to f2fs
for f2fs on the /data userdata partition (CAUTION) a script to wipe and format /data to f2fs. if you do this backup all your files to something off the device (your PC external HDD etc)!
So yeah lots of work involved there. To start I would pick a non-f2fs ROM like mine or cm11 or paranoid android 4.1 beta or rastakat then M-Kernel a67 (Faux and francokernel are also good) and try things out. Then if you desire even more performance give f2fs a whirl.
Personally stock performs fine once I have M-Kernel all set up. Be sure to leave sufficient overhead I'd say 4.3 GB or so or you'll see huge lag.

Glad to help! Forgot to mention one reason why I love stock so much. It is the pure Google experience but when you add the XPosed Framework with the GravityBox module you can tweak the tablet however you want. Just install XPosed and then inside XPosed download that GravityBox module and you will see what I'm talking about. Here is the thread for it:

I'll look into GravityBox, I've install Xposed before ( for Greenify ) but never used GravityBox before. For GravityBox..does it matter if I use deodexed or odexed? Was going to install your ROM Odex version tonight since I'm no theme creator and prefer boot speed ( is there any other difference ?) and M-kernel as well. I'll report my experiences back after I do so.
F2FS is really not that hard. I'm not a big expert in Android, I just know how to root/install roms, and I managed to flash an F2FS ROM with no problem at all.
You just need a custom recovery like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678140
And an F2FS ROM like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678142 (or any other F2FS ROM).
In the first link there are some instructions, it's maybe 35 words, so you don't have to study it for hours, it's really easy, and I think my N7 is actually much less laggy than it was before.
If you still don't want to bother with F2FS, then try some other ROMS and kernels first, but if you're still not satisfied with the speed of your tablet, just try F2FS.
I'm on CM 11 M 5 with m-kernel test 4 and f2fs on all three partitions. It's completely stable and really fast. No lags anymore. I can only recommend it.
