Hello, im new here and new at android devices.
I have a S5830L from Personal(ARGENTINA).
The first time i upgraded to 2.3.4 i lost my 3g capabilities. Later, trying others files i finally recover my 3g.
My current setup is: PDA: KP7 PHONE:KP7 CSC:KP7.
Im interested in trying CyanogenAce or CyanogenMod7. I will have the same 4g problems? Its recommended to try the Betas or i must wait to some final version?
Thanks
Lost 3g capabilities LOL? ur kidding me xD, anyway
if you wanna install Cyano Ace Flash to KPB 2.3.3 http://hotfile.com/dl/116307445/a37322f/S5830XXKPB.rar.html
After that install ClockWorkMod which is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168417
Copy it to the sd root , reboot phone get into recovery mode by pressing Home + Power Button Update from zip and select Clockworkmod
Download the RC2 Cyano Ace zip and the RC 2.1 update , into the sd card make 2 folder called ¨Update¨ and ¨Cyano¨, copy the RC2 Installer into Cyano, Copy the RC 2.1 update into Update Folder.
After doing that reboot phone again, get into recovery mode the clockworkmod will appear , go to the install from zip menu and select the Cyano Folder and install the rc2, after that is done, select again install from zip and select the rc 2.1 update in the update folder, reboot and happy cyano, u need to wait a little to boot because it takes a lil to boot at first time.
Remember to add your Apn settings to have 3g...
You are right - when I was using russian 2.3.4 there was 3G bug and it doesnt work to...
I am testing CyanoAce for a two days and everything is working normaly for this time... Its good to make bigger sd-ext while preparing sd card and move dalvik cache to it... look at my gallery there are some pics of benchmarks testing cyanoace
And its good to make a battery formating in cwm after instaling this rom... ( perhaps batery must be at 100 % before this! )
Its faster than 2.3.4

Can you explain this to me?
Thanks.
I recommend using the following app available in the Market
APN Backup & Restore
Backup your APN before flashing a custom rom when everything's working. Tell me how it goes.

Well, as far as I know (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), CyanoAce (I guess you're referring to BehradGH and Grif07's versions) and CyanogenMod7 differ one from another on some parts of the ROM as kernel and such; but they're supposed to be the same if not an exact copy of an original version of CM7. Did that helped you?

Cool man, thanks.
The main issue im having is the battery duration, this will help ?
You and everybody else. That depends on your usage, your 3G network strength signal and your availability to connect to WiFi every time it's possible since WiFi wastes less battery than 3G/2G.
I will try that then. My phone is rooted, this will change anything when flashing to cyanoace?
I wrote it before - do you wipe battery setings in cwm after porting cyanoace rom? Its better to fo it... but battery must be at this moment on 100% level... Than it maebe will keep a longer time using your device...

Hi, I also have the Galaxy ACE S-5830L and want to install CyanogenMod 7.1 2.3.7 RC 2.2; now I understand than I need to flash with KPB firmware, but the 3G network will work good after installing CyanogenMod? if not, can I use the modem from KP7 with CyanogenMod?
I'm from Bolivia, my Carrier is TIGO.
Thanks in advance.
As far as I know, based on my experience, you can flash any ROM you get your sweet hands on, the signal will work, the 3g depends, you can dial *#2263# and select the frequency your carrier uses, but if that doesn't work you must flash (via odin) the unbranded modem for Latinamerica.
Tanks for the answer, I'm starting to download all the stuff needed to flash my phone.

EDIT:
Now with CyanogenMod 7.1 RC2.2 working very well on my Ace, not needed to flash KPB, with my original modem firmware it works with 3G Network.

No need to wipe anything.
Backups are always handy. But be aware that backup done by amonra or cwm are not compatible to each other. That means backup taken by any recovery will only be restored with same recovery.

That zip file is for amonra recovery which doesn't have an option for formatting system. In cwm recovery, you have the format system option.
Flashing doesn't lead to bricking normally.
And all custom roms are always rooted.

I'm sorry if I'm wrong, because I've never used cm7. But from some screenshots I've seen it seems that you can change what icons appear in the notification area. I'm not sure though.

go to cyanogenmod settings and there is something like interface (i don't know exactly, because i don't have it in phone right now), but you can certainly change icons in the notification area.
Settings>CM Settings>Interface>Notification Power Widget>Many options>Enjoy.
thanks solved the network issue.. but as i tried to open the market it just popup for a second and close .. so unable to download anything from market...btw is it ok to flash franco.kernel v14 with cm7 .. do i need to wipe anything before flashing?
no. I just flashed. you can wipe cache+dalvik if you want. check for two files mentioned in franco's thread. if you have them, You HAVE to delete them before flashing. if you dont, just flash. you need setCPU to change the CPU freq coz CM OC screen does not display at the moment. battery and smoothness is great.

I flashed Franco kernel too, half an hour before. But I didn't check for those two files. But the phone is functioning fine.
Are those two files to be deleted are meant for everyone or for those who have previously flashed Franco kernel?

Good that we know such an important information. Try again with a proper baseband ⇩⇩⇩

Because you need to reflash the darned ROM which you have screwed with the non-working patch. Read!
i even reflashed the ROM dude........bt same prob
plz gimme a link of ur kernel version
RoM n baseband
Well, flash a full stock ROM via KDZ and move on. When you have done some reading (which clearly hurts your brain), come back with some non-PEBKAC issues. While you have mismatch between your baseband and ROM, you have no GSM and data. It is written in the howto, but then again, too long and boring to read, huh?
Bye.
Hello ppl. I have flashed to new baseband w/ Cyanogenmod 9(lurpohip) and franco's newest kernel. I can call and send text messages, but data doesn't seem to work. Would appreciate help. I've gone through both how-to's pt. baseband LGMDP.exe. Also did a full data wipe before installing the rom.
I noticed some NVRESTORE NV_FAIL_S errors when I changed to new baseband in LGMDP.exe though.. Any ideas? Tried to change 3 times, same errors occur.
Thanks in advance. Sorry for being a noob, but I have been searching for 2 days.
Unfortunately, CM team has removed some frequency from sources and now, with some carrier (eg. Vodafone or 3 IT), data connection doesn't work. I have the same problem. The solutions are:
1. Not use a CM rom
2. Use old baseband with patch for CM.
3. Wait for a fix

Idealy im looking for a rom that will help give me longer batter life, a better wifi signal and somthing that i can add themes to.
I also have 2 questions i would like answered before i continue with a new rom.
1st Question. I currently have firmware version 2.3.5 would i need a rom compatable with this firmware?
2nd Question. My build is Gingerbread would i also need a rom that is compatable with Gingerbread

Check if it is i9100 or i9100G. In case, it's i9100G then mate, you don't have much to choose from. If it's i9100 then you will have to try different rom and kernel combination to suit your need, everyone has different battery life for every other user. You can start off with Checkrom, it's quite great, I'm using it. Irrespective of the rom, read first page and last 5 pages of the thread so that you know what to expect, problem wise and function wise. Read, read and read carefully before doing anything.

lool i think ur getting a bit confused mate.
cwm isnt a kernel, its a program allowing u to flash zips.
i imagine ur running stock right?
then ur kernel will be stock.
i reccomend either checkrom v6 or if ur feeling daring ICS roms r pretty gd aswell
CWM is not a kernel its a function inside the kernel mate
you need to decide wether you want ICS or GB
for ICS i'd reccomend XXLPH stock ROM its the best rom i've tried for 4.0.3
and for GB you can go for Checkrom V6 i've heard its pretty awesome ( i tried v4 myself but didnt like the battery life)

I've tested the ICS stock rom and a few others but for now settled for the "Resurrection Remix ics v9.3 black edition XXLPH 4.0.3 FULL-Wipe" and I'm very satisfied.
Battery wise it a lot better and the interface seems snappier and not as bloated as the original rom.

Chears mate.
From my point of view reading all the threads and topics regarding kernals and roms is a bit mind messing because there is so many too choose from
ok do the following, grab your phone - > dialer - > *#1234#
this will display PDA,CSC and Phone, this will provide the rom you are running for further reference
then into settings->about phone->kernel version ( must be something since you have root and CWM, im guessing chainfire kernel)
with that information we can provide you a better help
See my sig. Best Rom by far that I have tried.

I think if you are confused with the diffrences between kernel and cmw, i am pretty sure you are confussed about a lot of other things. So i think some reading is in order -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125282
This is a very good guide to read and their are other links within that thread to look through too. We all start not knowing what to do but lots of reading always helps, i hope it all goes well for you.
P.S. I am using ICS CM9 Codeworkx and it's a great rom, very stable even for a new user of custom roms.
as i thought you have a CF-Root so you are rooted and with CWM, on your app drawer you should have the CWM icon.
So you are ready to flash mate
you have to pick a ROM

Thank you everyone for your support and patience
the difference...amm you will need to youtube or google that as they are tons of different things, ICS is faster, smoother and damn good looking for me at least. Ill never go back to GB once i tasted the ICS
the kernels used for both ICS and GB are different each rom has its own kernel where the dev tested it works correctly, you could change them but if you flash a kernel you shouldn't or if its not compatible with the rom you might regret that
stick with the kernels included in the roms unless you are 100% sure they can work on the rom you pick
oh and one last thing before flashing stuff wipe your phone, its done inside CWM there's an option which says "wipe data/factory reset" and also wipe your dalvik cache inside CWM as well on "advanced->wipe dalvik cache"
hope it helped mate

So the roms have there own kernels in? just to verify please?
im a little outdated on kernels but last time i checked there were kernels for GB and kernels for ICS. not sure if they work on both operative systems now
still, stick with the kerneles included in the roms, they are tested and included in the roms cause they work, by your question i feel you are concerned about losing CWM
worry not mate, CWM is present in all of the rooted kernels

At first, I used 2.3 honey comp ROM for my vibrant. I had an option that use HSDA/3g only, then the icon never turned to E, only 3g and H appears.
A few days ago, I updated my vibrant to 4.0.3, I couldn't find the previous option any where, and the icon keep changing between E/3g/H.
In addition, when i use rom 2.3 and turn on Mobile Ap: It worked great like a charm.
When I changed to 4.0.3, the speed of mobile AP is really slow and not stable.
Any helps are appriciated.

Seems to me that when you switched the roms the modems changed ( as usually happens). Did you notice what is your new modem under baseband. If you remember the baseband version which you used on your 2.3 honey, you could flash it here and it might solve your data problem.
usually different modems have different sensitivity to the different signal strengths. in case of a weaker signal strength a particular modem might switch from 3g whereas a different modem might stick to 3g at a lower signal strength too.

i did a research and learn that ICS 4.0 does not allow the user to swich WCDMA only.
Is it ok if If install modem kernel of a 2.3 ROM into a 4.0.3 Rom. IF so, How can I do it? please give me the tutorial link!

I don't know which is your current rom...i'm on miui v4 right now and if i go in Settings>More>Mobile networks>Network type selection i can switch between 3G and 2G...so i can choose only 3G network.Regarding the modems,if you're an ICS rom you can flash only ICS modems...here is the link http://bit.ly/GFMk0R
My current ROM is Euphoria r.c2.
nope might not work

I have not tried that. In the link below you will find the modems which are ics compatible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783&highlight=bootloaders
All you have to do is download your choice of modem ( depending on your location) and put it on your SD card. For convenience sake put it in the phone sd card directly and not in any folder. then
1) reboot into recovery
2) select install zip from sdcard/ internal sdcard
3) choose zip file of the modem
4) yes
let it do its thing. Then reboot and check in the settings under baseband.
PS: since the rom that you are using now does not give you the option to select 3g only, even the new modem will switch to E in areas of very weak 3g reception. Just FYI.

what im looking for is the option "Network Preference" on 2.2 and 2.3, on any ICS Rom, it disappears then. I downloaded an app from market called 3g only but it is not strong enough, the gsm still change to E icon.
Anymore way to get WCDMA only?

It's laggy.
I flashed back to 2.3 cyanogen mod 7.2 already. Now enjoy the WCDMA only zzz,
But i'm still looking for an ICS rom that has that suck option.

Sorry I forgot to scroll down xD.
But ICS still has bug with wifi AP and consumes battery with rocket-fire speed.

Why is laggy or which are your issues? I'm on miui v4 for one week and believe me is not laggy at all

I just dont like to use MIUI 4. I flashed it for 30 mins and then kicked it out of my phone. Cyanogenmod 7 brings me a smoother UI and long battery life.
Just wait a few week for the ICS Rom bugs fixed and then i'll try. I'd love to use ICS, it has such an really amazing UI.

One more suggestion.
If you install Doc's Master ICS v5, in that there is an inbuilt app called as galaxy S settings in the app drawer, wherein under radio you can select HSPDA only (3g only). Although I am not quite sure if it works because i don't have 3G on my plan. However the ICS rom works great otherwise and probably might solve your AP issue too. (Fingers crossed)
Great Tip
Thanks a lot, i was going mad with the phone keep going back to 2g.
Apparently, someone had an app to do the switching, but I couldn't download it because the attachment is gone or something.

Ok so i am noob with Samsung and dealing with flashing and all these stuff, i just switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, i have read so many posts and watched so many videos, all what i want is some clarification
1* I have managed to download CM 9.0.0 for my phone and installed it through ROM Manager , i have noticed that my Data service is not working, am living in Kuwait "Middle East" the wifi is working fine no issues and i enabled the Data Service through the settings, how can i fix the issues with the data plan although it is working fine after i restored to my stock ROM
2*Can u tell me what the use of the Odin except rooting and installing a stock Firmware ?
3* correct me if i am wrong but the ROM will only do some sort of interface for the phone , as we say in IT "GUI" of course not to forget to mention the speed and tweaks for hardware of the device it self, i mean it is not a complete OS "Firmware" mostly GUI with Tweaks.
4*While doing the installation of the ROM and remove it and getting back to my stock ROM , nothing from my data has been changed, does that means every time i install any ROM and get back to the old one my data will not be effected on the stock ROM?
5* what would happen if i tried to install a ROM not compatible with the firmware i have ? and how would i fix that ?
6*How can i tell if the ROM is compatible with the firmware i have? , for example in my case i downloaded CM 9.0.0 for my S3 which has 4.0.4 firmware
7* I have understand that the ROM must be compatible with my phone version , what i mean with version like International version or US carriers versions, am i Right?
Am sorry asking too many questions,I tried my best to make the questions with yes or no answer, and incase you would like to write more please do
answering me those questions will help me alot, i have been reading so many posts and it is making me go insane
Thanks so much in advance :angel:

1. try reboot
2 thats about all its for
3............
4 all your data will be there unles you do a full wipe in recovery which is recomended before installing any ROM.
5 A ROM isnt specific to your firmware.If you have an international version which is GT I9300 Or GT I9300T any ROM from the I9300 threads will work. Dont flash anything made for the non international versions

Tried reboot didnt work to activate the data service,
Just to note i didnt do a full wipe and second i didnt install the gapps...
Is there anyway to fix this ?

You do a full wipe. A full wipe is always recommended to prevent some weird bugs.
