Hi guys,
I really need your experience help now. I can't decide which ROM to use for my Ace. I've been using 2.2.1 Froyo, and I decided to upgrade to 2.3.4 KPH. Then I realized that there is lockscreen lag and was really slow. One friend suggested me to use GingerReal 1.1.0 to solve the problem with lockscreen lag and speed, and I upgrade with this custom ROM, but it had a billion of custom stuffs in it, that I don't really understand and use (Tweaks, ext4, QQ launcher, etc.). So I reverted back to my stock Froyo, and started to read here. 3 days I've been reading, and finally decided to put the latest 2.3.3 KPO ROM (LUXKP1). Everything went smooth, but now I can see that my Ace is really slow, lockscreen lag takes ages to show. Otherwise it's really clean ROM, nothing unnecessary pre-installed and contains only the most important apps in it.
Now, I really want to fix that speed and lockscreen lag problem, and I'm thinking to upgrade to KPN. What's your advise to me? Is KPN fast and no lockscreen lag and also - SOD with stock ROM (i'm not planing to use custom ROM for now)?
Also which KPN to choose - 0OXXKP7 or XEUKP1? And at last but not at least what apps pre-installed contains this ROM? Some unnecessary stuffs like those mentioned above? And is it pre-routed?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad English...
We cannot make this decision for you, you'll have to do it yourself. The only way to find out is to try different firmwares, until you find the one that you think is the best.
What I CAN tell you is the following: I've had both KPN and KPO on my device, and I did not notice any difference between them. They were both stable and pretty fast. They have the screen unlock-lag, but think this is not a really big problem, since it only takes ~0.5/1 second.
None of the apps you noted in your post will be included on those firmwares, since these are original samsungfirmwares and not modded ones. Therefore it is not pre-rooted either.
Just going to put it out there. My rom my ui is kpn based it does use tencent launcher witch is simular to miui/iphone. Theres a test out now thats fully working and the complete rom will be out soon. Its really simple and easy to use, but very different to the stock rom. Your call. . .

Thanks for the answers. I'll give a try at KPN.
@jusada, I'll test your ROM soon, and will see if it's compatible with my Ace style
Thanks again you both
Try other custom ROMs when you have free time. You might find one of them that fits you.

Damned... I bricked my phone, because of KPN. I downloaded the S5830OXXKP7 and loaded it to Odin. It's one package file, so I clicked START, and... the download failed. I suppose that my phone must have some 2.3.3 Android before flashing KPN S5830OXXKP7... But it was 2.2.1 Froyo, and it bricks.
Now I'm downloading KPO 'cause I know it's full package, and will try to unbrick it...
Damned! How did you install KPN???

I am curious how you did it. Did you use a Copper.ops file? You need it always when flashing firmwares.

1.excellent battery backup(high priority)

Yes, of course. If I didn't use .ops, my "One Package" field is not active even when "One Package" radio button is marked...
I don't know how I bricked my phone - I loaded all files in Odin (the ROM .tar and the .ops file), and clicked on start button - the usual stuff when u flash new rom, step by step were accomplished. And then... BANG, stays on step number 3 at Odin, for about 2 hours... The counter shows that estimated time imo, is about 3-4 more hours, judging by that the green bar wasn't reach even the half way to end... And after that the connection drops, my phone says "Download failed" and... that was all...
Thanks God, I could go to download mode again, and I flashed back 2.2.1 and then KPO Full Package ROM, and my phone is still alive
But... it's slow... and still got the lockscreen lag, and I'm thinking to flash some custom ROM, because of speed...

hello all,
Before I being, i searched a bit in this forum and in web. But the questions i have still are not answered.
I on KE2 stock ROM. i have an unbranded SGSII. I have rooted using steps mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
I want to install any of the custom Roms or the newer ROMS mainly because the battery usage sucks. with some hour music and calls battery get drained easily.
I dont mind updating to latest stock ROM also as long as it solves the problem.
Kies dose not offer me an upgrade and its also grayed out for some reason
Here is my SGSII specs
Code:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKADBT (From RegEdit)
PDA: I9100XWKE2
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100OXXKE2
Baseband: I9100XXKDJ
If I have some problem, I want to revert back to Stock rom before giving it to Samsung. I have also ordered a USB Jig. It should be on the way now. So i can reset the counter as well.
Before flashing, I want to know what all i should do. Is it just fine If i flash the firmware file? Also in Samfirmware i see something called pit files.
can anyone help me in flashing the correct rom?
thank you
All Custom ROM's give detailed installation instructions in the first couple of posts.
For what it's worth, having tried a number of different ROM's, VillainRom 1.4 has the best battery for me. 2 days with moderate use.
+ Villian rom but read and understand the instructions before you start .
jje
Cognition S2 is a good rom, full instructions for flashing.
If you look in the android development section, theres also a thread with all stock firmwares, kernals and tutorials for flashing
thank you all.
I was wondering about how to revert back in case of some problem. Also do I need to take care something about the baseband etc?
I am kind of new so thats what makes me tensed! I dont want to screw up the mobile.
Don't worry, once you have USB jib, you can reset Odin flash counter and this is a safe way to rescue you in case of brick.
In terms of baseband, ke4 or kf2 are the best ones. Kf2 kernel + kf2 base band is a good combination. You can try many ones and choose by yourself.
On xda, there are all stock firmware to rollback if needed.
Take a look at the stock rom and branded roms post in Dev section find your phone and download a copy of the rom.
That can be flashed back via Odin to original state wiping any root and stock roms .

How about ROM Manager ? i read that It can install ROMS over air
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-koushikdutta-rommanager-nptD.aspx
Don't use that as far as know. My kernel wasn't supported and it took me days before my recovery mode was working as I wanted. Maybe it works with other kernels, but with my bad experience thus far I don't install that again.

You think I can install ROMS with this? no more Odin?
No this is a little bit more complicated. You need a rom compatible with this like cognition seemed to add. The main idea is to have a rom compatible with rom manager and this will allow you to change to another rom compatible with this. Unfortunately, there are not so many custom rom... Perhaps sicopat's one?
I justed wanted to say that rom manager is not dangerous to install and even to launch.
OK Thank you,
But I am still confused If i need to update the modem etc. Let me do some more search
You can upgrade modem version by Odin flash mode separately to the rest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Just download a modem.bin file or gets it from a complete firmware by unzip.
Put modem.bin into phone area of Odin and start accordingly of normal flash processing.
Thanks bgn9000
MY whole worry is whether to update modem or not. I dont want to mess with my phone as i think there is no downgrade.
Looks like I have to invest more time in understanding this flashing

Its not like I don't want to help you but mostly all of your questions can be answered just by lookin' into the "Android develpment" section of this sub-forum.
You can find everything you need there; from instructions about how to flash a ROM to the ROM itself.
As for the best ROM, well, there's aint much custom ROM for the Ace now. But a stock XXKPH might be the one you lookin' for.
Used it for almost a moth now and still no SODs or crap like that.
Hope this help.

KPH is what you are looking for.
I've used every rom out there but I find it the best one.
Use cf-root kernel on it & apply some tweaks. It'll fulfill all your needs.
Don't forget to hit thanks if I helped you!
Code Rom is the best till now .
Fast, stable with darktremors apps2sd and ext 4 support in nexus ace .

As you can see from comments above; such 'best ROM' is relative to each people.
One may want features that others dont and vice versa.
You should try one by one and find which suits you best.

You don't need to go back to the same firmware. If you want to go back to froyo then you flash with DDKC1.

The thing would be void warranty if you want to get an exchange... they do check your firmware version.

Hey!
I think all ROM-s DEVELOPERS and others, who may include needed things in ROM(custom ones)are WORTH for BIG RESPECT(developers are doing what they can and after that they MAYBE can IMPROVE, already made out ROM-s)!!!
CHEERS!
try stock 2.3.4 + custom kernel cf-root... no any kind of bugs for me..
If you really want a stock gingerbread firmware (stock means no modification at all, no custom kernel) then I can suggest 2.3.3 KPN from Spain. No SOD so far, wake up lag almost does not exist (both problems are in 2.3.4 KPH).
However, if you can live with a from time to time SOD or with the wake up lag, 2.3.4 KPH is enough. Also, if you go KPH, there's a lot of custom ROM for it now.

I agree and vote for KPN. Haven't encountered any SOD yet ( I use my SGA as a portable hotspot for an average of 6 hours a day, and with KPH, SOD happens twice a day) Hope it stays stable..
2.3.3 XWKPN is the best for me
Hello everyone! I recently began contemplating rooting and doing custom installs for my 959, for something fresh and better performing, also seems my music player has been acting up recently and am really interested in something new along with voodoo sound... If necessary anymore ? Thing is, there are so many ways to root, and there are so many custom roms??? I don't know where to start or what to look for? I just want one of the better, stable, new custom roms available as of this date for the t-959. I search but seems there's no definitive answer? Just a lot of roms haha?
Also when downloading a rom, do I have to download like 30-40-50 kernels and add them? I see all these roms, kernels and update??? Is it just download a rom and that's it, am I making more of it than it should be?
I'm just really noob'ish, really confused, and really, really nervous! I can't afford to brick this phone, but I really want something new.
Thanks for reading, and I apologize for some of the silly questions I have asked .
I fell in love with rom flashing as it greatly improves performance and gives phone a new look. Especially since Vibrant isn't supported anymore.. I can't live without voodoo goodies=) Definitely improves sound.
Negative side of custom roms is it takes up some of your time.. Finding a rom you like, tweaking it.. Not too mention you might brick you phone.
If you decide so.. the most important thing is always read OP...
I used superoneclick to root. I recommend Bionix 1.3.1 as a first rom very stable though a bit outdated. After playing around with the rom, you can try different 2.2 kernels and modems. Then go on to gingerbread roms.=)
Extremely easy. I'd suggest reading some of my guides in my signature.
I would Odin
Then download a ROM (nothing else needed)
Download my option b update.zip
Move both to internal sd
Reboot into recovery
Click reinstall packages
Choose to install zip from sd, select ROM, reboot.

Thank you trailblazer and thanks s15....
Any roms you would recommend s15? I appreciate the starting rom you gave me Trail, I'm looking for something a little more up to date I suppose? I was looking at cm7 or Simply Honey 5.0 Revolution(JVR GB 2.3.4)? Something with voodoo already in it? Something pretty stable with a bit of features. Maybe a lil less lag than stock 2.2, better performance, audio and battery life as well?
Thanks so much again both!
cm7 in nightlies still, though seem pretty stable, i havent tried for a while. Lots of features though dont think battery too great.
Simply Honey is a good one, stable, lots of features, great developer support.
I'm currently on RevolutionRom 2.3.4, stable and smooth for me, only bad is itfreezes like once or twice a day. More of a sgs2 look which i like. Good battery.
FYI Flashing Gingerbread roms, you will need to flash gingerbread bootloaders to remove rainbows and see recovery ( theres a post on it)
Also GPS isn't stable on gingerbread.

I think I'm gonna try the simply honey one or wait till he does a final release?, as for the bootloaders, what do I do or go to there? Also for the kernels, do I need to download one for simply honey? Should I download one for it?
I seen some roms or kernel can improve wifi and signal? Is that true, if so point me in that direction hahaha...
Thanks so much bro by the way.
search for Vibrant gingerbread bootloader, it's flashable via odin..simply honey roms comes with bullet kernel & there's Simply Honey Talon Kernel build by simone201 =)
Thanks man, do you mind if I ask which one you would recommend (Odin or Clockwork?)... I stumbled upon this youtube how to called "Custom ROM installation tutorial for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant)", and was just wondering if I can apply all his methods to SH 5.0? Sorry tried to link it but cannot due to my post count... Oh and when I'm done, how should I proceed with the new talon kernel?
Also if there's a new release of honey or the final release, say I installed this one... Do I have to do it all over again? Same wit kernels? Finally, do I need to revert my unrooted stock 2.2 froyo back to a previous version before gingerbread or any of this?
Thanks for your reply. I'm actually feeling like it's almost go time with this rom and kernel haha. Really thanks heaps!
D bootloader is only flashable by odin..you can read the OP for simply honey, what you need is all in there in d development area..flash kernel that works 4ur phone u decide on that wether bullet or talon..you can use sgs kernel flasher to switch bet the two..

One last question before I do this, I seen SH 5.1, but I seen it was for the i9000? Which one should be used? or the one you may recommend? Im looking for voodoo sound controls.
Thanks
EDIT:
Nevermind I read it will be up tomorrow... gonna do 5.1, this is pretty exciting as long as I don't screw anything up hahaha
i reverted back to stock firmware via odin and one click rooted my phone, factory wiped all data and now I remember after I rooted my phone I had unzipped file in my sd card and it told me that i can just delete it after I was done, well i did and then watched a video on clockwork that said not to delete it?
EDIT: Nevermind I fixed it, I just unrooted and rooted again...
So sorry for being a pain, I know you guys have better things to do.
3 questions and this thread is done... thanks for the help...
1. Does the market work on simply honey? Like can go in and search and download it like usual?
2. should I use odin to install 5.1 or cw?
3. how does the kb5 work? is that like default or do i have to flash it?
Thanks a million in advance!
Is it possible to download back the old stock rom through ODIN and reinstall it on my ace? Or can I install it with CMW too from the SD card? Or is there some deleting and complexity involved in this backwards process?
Sure, you can instal any stock rom on your phone. Just have to have the firmware files. I just flashed back stock 2.3.4 after 7.1 CM BehradGH. And istaled BehradGH again I don't think u could instal any stock rom via CWM. Specialy the lower version u have.

Lmao nah bro it failed. I tried flashing it through ODIN and installing the stock 2.3.5 again and the phone was stuck in an endless boot. I got scared as hell and reflashed back to CM 7.1. I have no idea what happened though but everything is working fine. I guess I'll be sticking to CM7.
The reason I wanted to go back was because Heywire (txting app) was the only thing that stopped working after I flashed. I depend a lot on texting and I was thinking it'd go back if I went back to stock. I guess I'll have to try and find another alternative :/
Phone feels like a super phone though. LONG LIVE CM7!
Well, I'm not a developer or advenced user so I can't tell u the reason why you phone stuck in on boot. Today i was broke my CM7.1 Behrad and i could only go to download mode so i flash official 2.3.4 KPH and it's worked. Next i instaled CWM and BehradGH' rom again. Before useing BehradGH's rom i had Grif's KANG rom and after that i flash stock 2.3.4 to instal another CM7.1. It wasn't first time so I'm sure of that what i write here
Haha. I'm guessing we were both pretty lucky then. The first thing I did was to make sure I could boot into recovery. Then I reflashed CM7 from there. I'm still curious about the boot loop thing... I hope someone answers.
You need to flash a full package to not have a bootloop.

You need to download something called a 5 file package, extract and then in Odin you deselect 'one package'. Generally for stock ROMs you select
OPS - cooper.ops
BOOT - APBOOT.......tar.md5

I think KPN is supposed to be better than KPH which was a leaked ROM.

I think you was flashed the ONE package file, but jeah, you need MULTI package file for ODIN, flash from CM to STOCK ROM.
Just read the FLASHING TUT. before flashing!
CHEERS!
To back to stock rom i always use Odin Didn't said i do this by recovery. And always use multi-file pack. Never "one package" - some1 said it is unstable... So go to Download Mode and flash ur Ace by useing Odin and multi-file rom (OPS, PDA, BOOT, PHONE, CSC)

hello everyone.
I'm using andyx firmware v15 and taking my attention that battery dies too fast and phone feels lagging at times.
So i want to go back to the stock firmware and use a rooted stock firmware. but i have a couple of questions:
1) i dont really know which pda or country's firmware i have to use.bought my phone from poland and living in turkey now. can i find out which version the phone originally came with from the box or anywhere else?
if using any firmware wont matter, is there any particular one i should use? maybe getting the newest updates before the ones?
2) is the version 4.0.4 safe to use? my friend suggested me to use that one but i'm a little pissed off after reading the brick stories about it.
3) also someone else told me to flash stock firmware then go for the siyah kernel. whats the benefit for that?

hello everyone.
I'm using andyx firmware v15 and taking my attention that battery dies too fast and phone feels lagging at times.
So i want to go back to the stock firmware and use a rooted stock firmware. but i have a couple of questions:

1) there are no particular firmwares. Try out different firmwares on whatever suits you best. I suggest you go up for Gingerbread because of its stability and battery life. But if you want to be updated on the trending things, go for ICS.
2) i suggest you go for custom roms with 4.0.4 as a basis.
3) siyah kernel MAY be a suitable kernel for you, but then again, it could be different. Try out different kernels that best suits you

Use CheckFus to find the latest firmware for your phone and flash it with ODIN.
To root your phone just do some reading. There are quite a few methods described here, some are easy, some are more complicated. In the end choose one that corresponds to your needs and skills.
Ive just done what you were asking for similar reasons. I went on to samfirmware site and picked latest and safest ROM. Then on to chainfires thread for the insecure kernel to root my S2. (thanks to chainfire) No a difficult task just read before flasing and make necessary back ups. All tbe best.
