Hello,
I am sorry for a question which may seem simple but I never really noticed it getting mentioned.
My Galaxy ace was rooted then ages later I installed an the 2.3 update on my phone with Odin as it hadn't been released in the UK at the time (May even still be the case).
I have since installed CWM5 and CyanogenMod (yesterday in fact), now I am fairly sure the answer is yes but would like to confirm if I am correct.
Does the phone remain rooted after ROMs are installed etc.?
I am a huge fan of the CyanogenMod and would strongly suggest it to any one with an Ace that like my self was always on the verge of installing a custom ROM but always chickened out. It is extremely fast.
I only have one or two issues that I don't know if it is the ROM or my phone which are; screen no longer lights up just buttons when I receive a notification and if I am on Wifi the button back light randomly lights up - I think I saw some one else mentioning they had this issue, just wondering if anyone knows if it is the ROM and I can simply wait till there is an upgrade from the Cyanogenmod peeps or if it is my phone being an arse and I should maybe rock my phone back to stock and do it all again.
Sorry if I have not posted this in a manor this forum desires but still trying to get my head around where to post what in this rather huge forum.
Also,
First post so will also say Hello.... Hello....
Thanks in advance for any replies.
p.s.
Third attempt to do the damn image verification haha
Hello ~
First, it depends on the rom. Custom roms are usually rooted. So,the answer is yes.
Second, there are bugs in custom rom. You can choose some rom with less bug or stock rom.
Sorry for my bad english

if installing/flashing stock rom, it'll be unrooted automatically even if its rooted before.
if installing/flashing custom roms, yes it'll stay rooted because custom rom mostly include root.
the problem u having might caused by custom roms/kernel, try experiments with different roms/kernel and see if its gone.

Firstly, please do not apologise for your "bad English" - You have taken the time to learn English and I bet I cannot say a word in your language - so I thank you for taking the time to answer my question in a language which is foreign to you. Props to all those on this forum that do that.
Now back to the topic! hehe
Yes sorry I should of been more specific about what ROM I am rolling, it is this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543521) I thought due to the amount of response it had it would of been a very popular one among the Ace community and was hoping some people may have had some insight into my issues.
And thank you for clearing up my confusion about the root
And while writing this I saw the post by an0nym0us so I shall reply to him as well in here
Thank you for that extra detailing when it comes to the rooting, that is the exact information I required.
Is their a ROM which is a "must" for an ace user to try out? I am being rather adventurous now haha My first taste of a good custom ROM has got me wanting to find more which either more stability or just improvements on other good ROMs
Thank you all for replies.
1. Flashing custom roms will not unroot for phone flashing stock roms willl
2. Yes that lighting-of-backlit-buttons is a standard issue on cm7
3. Welcome to XDA
4. Before you post in development section please read the stickies(if u r on xda app) or the first 3-4 threads in general section (if viewing via browser)
5. Cm7 is awesome complaining about small issues will b neglecting the awesome features cm7 gives to your phone
6. Read the forum rules carefully and slowly or you may fall in trouble.
7. Always google for questions first b4 posting in forums ( i m sure your questions would have been answered by googling)
8. Best of luck
sent from my SGA powered by the best rom ever --CM 7.2 by the late F.A.T. ( I ll miss u F.A.T )
Yes I am sorry I had to ask questions that may well of been answered in detail with a google but I kept finding conflicting arguments about it so I thought best thing to do would be go to the most representable forum in the field and ease the pain of which was my question once and for all
And don't get me wrong, I was not complaining about the ROM I love it Just wanted to know if it was the ROM or me doing something that was causing the issues. If it was me - I would do it again if it is the ROM who cares - I know it will get fixed at some point
And thank you for the welcome post didn't get chance to check the rules correctly as I was at work when I registered and posted the first post haha Limited time while manager wasn't behind me hehe
I really like how you guys do not limit guests so they cannot see the development posts, that is really nice of the site. I was able to install the ROM etc, following instructions and links without being nagged to register and that alone made me want to register
Welcome to the forum. Word of warning - if you come accross a program called Rom Manager please leave it alone. Most people on here would agree that you can recover your phone from all kinds of mistakes made while flashing new exciting roms, best method - make a backup, but using Rom Manager may damage your phone irreversably.
Yeah I have heard about it all over the forum. Does it work well in any instance?

May work beautifully with some mobiles only have Ace and like you read the warnings onhere and elsewhere re Ace. Just amazes me how many use it 1st then come here to ask "What happened to my phone". You are definately off on the right foot by getting info here 1st. GL
By the way don't be surprised if all your posts disappear - getting to 10 is not this easy I know.

And another one, don't ask for questions like the best rom or the best something you'll seriously be hated
Welcome to the family!
Anyway, flashing a custom rom will not take away your root. (I think they are already pre-rooted)

Yes I saw a full post about not asking for best rom.
Only thing I have asked for is a suggestion a "Must" try ROM as in a Rom that everyone should experience once So far it seems that Rom is the Cyanogen Rom I am currently running While I love so much.
Also, I am very very impressed with the XDA Android app!
Once I get to 10 posts I have a few inputs I am looking forward to getting into the development posts
Most rom's come pre rooted in order to function

After a user gave me a rather unhelpful and rather horrid way to reply to this question I simply removed it to avoid that sort of response.
Hey XDA,
I got my S3 at launch, and ever since I've seen some great Jelly Bean roms coming out I've been tempted to flash one on. My only problem is that I'll be losing S Beam, Smart Stay and Direct Call.
Just wondering if anyone who has already done so can give me some advice on weather it's worth it? Weather the Jelly Bean features outweigh the built in ones or not? Any feedback would be great, thanks.

Samsung is almost ready testing Jellybean for the S3, it will come out in about 6-8 weeks officialy. Maybe some leaked roms will pop up at Sammobile soon. If you only want to root for Jellybean i would not do it and wait for a little while.
If you want those features stock with Samsung based roms and wait for the official jelly, in the meantime check out a few custom s Samsung roms to keep the flash addiction happy
There's a few reasons I'd flash one of these roms on it. #1 being I for some reason am a massive vanilla android fan, and #2 being that I live in Australia and it will probably take them an extra 6 months to bring the official update here after it's released. Although, I did get the "Stability Improvement" update last weekend, a few weeks off the rest of the world, is that an indication of future updates being that quick also?
Thanks for your replies and I look forward to continue this thread to help me decide. One part of me is thinking how hard is it to touch the screen to stop it from sleeping, press a button to call someone, or use bluetooth to transfer files bigger than web pages. The other is saying what's the point of getting the latest and greatest smartphone to get rid of it's advertised features?
I think ultimately the answer is just flash it and if you don't like them just restore your nandroid! I've got 4 now, of different roms/kernels ....it's like having quad boot!

Wait you can have multiple roms installed at once? I thought you could only have one! I'm quite new to this. Also while I'm here, how do I edit my signature? I can't find it in the CP anywhere

if you root then you can create a nandroid backup(complete system image) so I try different roms, if I like one I set it all up then do a nandroid, so if I want to try other roms and come back I just restore it, but now that this will lose your data between making that original nandroid and returning to it

Everyone's situation is different, hence why I'm asking. Also, I'm not "demanding" anything, I'm simply asking people who have already done what I'm thinking an opinion, and even developers can explain what the pros of using their software compared to stock if they so desire. I may be new to these forums, but I've been a part of the Android community since it's release so I don't appreciate being treated like a so called "noob" when if you calm down, sit back and think about it I have not broken any rules, and I posted it in Questions and Answers not the Development section so this is also the correct section.
To the other people who actually cared to share their opinion, thanks, and I think I'll give a few custom roms a go.

Nevertheless, you can compare your questions with other questions and answer them. Be it here or in other forums.
Because I do not think your question is "unique" and can not be answered with another question that has already been asked.
You must simply enter your title in Google and then you'll find massive pages, where the same or similar question has been answered.
Why I am so upset about it? I have already explained in my text.

This is not exactly a whats best rom post its asking is JB reliable enough to install; as its a not yet released firmware .Plus featureless lost .
Simple solution for whats the best rom posts is to report to a mod let them decide .
Personally i would not report this as its not a whats best rom post .
But OP i would actually wait for JB release from Samsung .

Its getting a bit off topic but i dont actually disagree with your viewpoint . Its just a complete waste of time forum is what its users are and their is no way around a general lowering of standards apart from the mods saying bang bang .I gave up a long long time ago and now ignore many posts .
OP not included in the above .

Thank you all, I appreciate the feedback and I will change the title.
I have decided I'll do a backup of my current software and just give a few roms a go can't hurt unless I brick it.

Try temasek's rom, it's fast and fluid and i rarely have launcher redraws. Google Now is suprisingly useful in all times.
Some people think they are mods, just report the threads instead of coming into every thread you think look useless lol.. Talk about waste of energy
Skickat från min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk 2
I love XDA and I respect the mods, but I think the ban on "which is the best ROM" threads is horsesh**t.
Members should be allowed to ask silly questions, especially in general. And I, for one, don't think there is a problem with most "which rom is best" threads. I say "most" because I do agree that some contributors to those threads don't cite specific reasons as to why one rom is better than another. They just post stuff like "GINGERBLURB IS KING." I hate that, but for every one of those posts, there are two or three from people who cite specific reasons why they prefer a rom.
Yes, it'd be nice to try out every rom for myself, but I can't. Just like I can't taste every food out there. For the most part, I have to depend on word of mouth and reviews. That's reality.
But SCREW all of these reasons. The WORST part of this ban is something that has been happening little by little in rom development threads. More and more, members are becoming ruder and ruder to developers in the threads, asking "WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR ROM" and "WHAT DID YOU SPECIFICALLY CONTRIBUTE ASIDE FROM THESE TWEAKS". And developers are being hassled with replying to those posts, instead of developing. Yes, this has always happened, but it's gotten worse. And my guess is that it has to do with users not being able to ask the simple question of "Which rom is best" or "Why is this rom any good?"
These are questions that only other users can answer.
Unless the silly ban is lifted or there is the creation of a new forum titled "Extra Stupid General Discussion," this problem is going to worsen.
look this topic has arised again.... i am not offefnding... let me give a simple explanation... roms are not foods.... and at the moment there are nt so much varitety of rom(compared to foods) that you can not ttry them all .... you eat food daily... try out roms every weeks or so... you have your backed up data :cyclops:
now for the reason of the ban..
people develop.. people mod and release roms... we spent day and nights to give out somethin new... and somethin nice... the best we can do.... after all our hardwork... when some1 says that this/that rom sucks or is not good enough..... hw will the maker of the rom feel?
have you ever thought about that....?
and while releasing roms ... the makers.. give the detail what all is in the rom..... along with screen shots... that info is more then enough to understand what is in the rom.. !!!
i am not offending any1 or neither you... this is the reason behind it.... i was before also said not to explain all this.... but still iwould like to make this alot clear... so ppl understand...
i hope ppl dnt criticize anymore about any rom... :good: :fingers-crossed:
Agree with person above
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I agree with wktra!!
Since we cant stop each and every person all the time.. lets make one sticky thread including a poll in General Section. Atleast every new member can see and understand which rom is good for him and which is the most recommended Rom in the forum.
This way.. noobs wont make new threads asking about the best Roms.
This should be implemented in every forum.. even senior members are sometimes new to some Forum.. and wants to know which rom is the most popular there.
you still dont get it do you.. ? ... pls think about what has been said.... rather posting negative comments about some1's certain rom... :fingers-crossed:
I appreciate the developers time and effort however if I want a ROM that has TV out enabled and your ROM doesn't have that then I dont want to use your ROM. Its not a bad ROM your not a bad developer. It just doesn't fit my needs at the time.
Its not OK to write things like such and such ROM sucks. But saying one is the best shouldn't be discouraging. Esp if reasons are given. Ie lags theme chooser partition layout ram settings whatever it might be.
If you can back up your statement with facts I dont see how anyone can be offended
Sent from my thingy for stuff
Every ROM is different from a person to another... for example, I am more the type of oxygen user... I prefer simplicity... however, I use gingerDX (which no user will suggest because it isn't so popular, but really good and much more stable than "stable" official CM7)
So why ruin some work of a small developer by only using what everyone else uses? (This is an analogy with video games next)
If you ask someone what game you should play, they will say "diablo 3, of course"(which will make you pay the game + tons of other money because it is pay to win) but no one will tell you "path of exile" which is a small NZL company who did an awesome game...
Another analogy would be me playing WoW... I love archer, but in WoW I have a warlock... and since wow has no "archer/ranger/bowman style/blahblah with a bow" class, I wanted a warlock, cuz I love how warlock sounds and since then I only play summoner classes in all games (the kind with a minion following you)

I think that we should have dedicated threads where there is a discussion about ROMs and the pros/cons and stability for each one. Users should be able to have a dedicated place where it's nothing but discussion about why they like certain ROMs and why they don't.
I own an Optimus V and I am on a port of GTR, which I love. I didn't like BACKside, not because it was a bad ROM, but because I always had bad luck with md5 verification for it, and such.
I don't want developers to feel bad, but I do want users to be informed of the characteristics of each ROM in one, easy place.

Agree with the 2nd post too much of spamming and less chance for devs to improve themselves coz only popular ROMs will top the charts and everybody will use it.
So this way is better.Every ROM get a chance.
Plus I think u should spend sometime reading the ROM threads to get an idea about it.There are enough information about it in them.
Sent from my LG-P500 running Ginger Snap
The truth is that there is no such best ROM, because what others prefer might not be your choice, the idea for the sticky post is good, we can put our observations there and conclude the best ROM(s) in various categories like gaming, daily use, eye candy, bugfee (Stock ROMs) :silly: this will reduce newbies making useless threads in general section..
There is no best rom. We should try out the roms first and see what suits us. It also apply to food. And i always say no pain no gain.

Its wrong to insult someone's work. But to continue your own analogy. The teacher has a set criteria for grading your project that was provided to you. No one provides what is needed for a rom , you make it you decide what you want to put into it. If it doesn't meet the criteria that I need im not going to use your ROM and I dont think its wrong for me to write about my experience with it.

The roms aren't very updated as of now, but if you would PM or post in the thread, he will do it.
Just to be clear here. I am trying to learn. I finally got a dedicated machine for Linux and am trying to repo all the files I need.

A few questions:
There are not many devs left here. Do you think it is a good idea criticize our work like that?
Are you saying you don't want any updates unless it is a new kernel?
Have you considered trying to build a kernel yourself instead of complaining?
Just asking.....
I heard that the devs working on porting the XOOM kernel have progressed. Hopefully in due time...
It will, it's under development.

Im not criticating man, i really appreciate your work, you win my 10+ repp i only said that these updates dont be affect anything that the guys test. Because, i see much guys from here, and from other forums, that trying ICS several weeks because it have a new update, did you understand? hehe

What exactly is the point of threads like this? People around here are getting just too good at nothing but whining and complaining. FYI, opening a thread like this is exactly the same thing as asking for ETAs, and I really hope everyone knows you NEVER ask for ETAs here. Instead of littering the forum with useless whiny adn wallowy threads like this, you could have helped the development efforts yourself. But no, people would rather just sit around idly and complain and whihe.
If you want a stable and fully functional ICS/JB right away, get a different device. If you want it in some undefined time, have patience, be supportive and QUIT ASKING. Better yet, instead of just waiting, take initiative and MAKE IT HAPPEN YOURSELF.
Hey Guys, I've reported this thread. I've got fed up with threads like these. Only asking for ETAs, growing up a bad mood... not throwing good vibes at all. We need patience, not ETAs. If you need a kernel so bad, then you've gotta have patience. That'll do the trick

wow, you've reported this thread?! all the guy was asking was how things are progressing. After the initial excitement of the ics leak there hasn't been anything of very much. He said he appreciated the work of the people who put the time and effort into trying to keep our phone as current as possible. Who do you think you are Ravilov labeling someone as whiny and wallowing (although just what you think the poster is wallowing in is beyond me - he asked a simple question). As for your pathetic 'no one asks for eta's' comment... I can only assume you've been spending too much time here.
Thankfully, the question was answered bu Syl and takemeouttt.
This is a forum, where people ask questions and, hopefully, get civil and informative answers.
1) New Keyboard -- Because people wanted to try the new keyboard with 'Swype'-like features.
2) build.prop edits -- Because different people are having different issues with the ICS roms. Devs are pretty much taking stabs in the dark to see which combination helps which device. (tegra part?)
3) Xoom Kernel Port -- Is compiled, but will be a while before everyone can test it and/or have a stable release (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941654)
As for your original question, there's a strong possibility we might, but don't expect it anytime soon. If it was that easy, Motorola would have done it at the same time they did it for Xoom. Remember, developers might also upgrade to newer devices. Would seem pointless to develop for a device--that even the manufacturer abandoned, when you have a shiny new device.
The current "team" of developers ARE working "together". In my experience, it's hard to collaborate on something with another person remotely, but they seem to be managing it. Going by the thread, there are at least 2 active developers. Might be others who aren't updating in the thread, but are simply contributing by email and/or other ways?
This thread may or may not be pointless. I think if it gets closed at this point, it might help someone trying to find a simple answer without going through 1000's of posts in the development section.

wow, you've reported this thread?! all the guy was asking was how things are progressing. After the initial excitement of the ics leak there hasn't been anything of very much. He said he appreciated the work of the people who put the time and effort into trying to keep our phone as current as possible. Who do you think you are Ravilov labeling someone as whiny and wallowing (although just what you think the poster is wallowing in is beyond me - he asked a simple question). As for your pathetic 'no one asks for eta's' comment... I can only assume you've been spending too much time here.
Thankfully, the question was answered bu Syl and takemeouttt.
This is a forum, where people ask questions and, hopefully, get civil and informative answers.

Now thats an appropiate response to the question in the 1st post.
How long more do ppl keep their atrix?

I bought an atrix 2 weeks ago, i'm waiting to the delivery from China, so i think i would keep it for a year
I think that the community is simply misguided.
There is not a single post which clearly explains that we hit a brick wall regarding battery life.
Not knowing that, it IS frustrating to see a "new update!!" as the title of the ROM post and find only minor graphical changes inside.
There is a simple way to solve that, we need a sticky with an explanation regarding the entire Atrix ICS issue.
It should have a brief explanation that the ICS and JB roms that we have now are incomplete and generally suffer from graphical issues due to the old kernel constrains and even though we have a leaked version of the original ICS kernel, it is only barely functional and in most cases far from being a daily driver.
It will save a LOT of browsing (for me at least) since I check almost daily on the progress in the development section and it is quite a hassle to browse through all the latest comments for a clue of any changes or new ideas of how to make the rom work better and it will inform all those that don't bother checking and simply end up disappointed in the new changes.
Creating such a post is easy and I can do so if you'll approve of my idea, but the major point is to make it sticky and up to date, even if the update is simply updating the title just to show that no progress regarding kernel development/ ICS implementation for the Atrix was made.
I have no problems updating it either.
I adore the dev community here and all of you guys.
It's nice to see optimism where other developers and testers would just give up.
I love you guys and keep up the nice job. :highfive:
Why we just can't delete everything and add the rom from galaxy r

I think epinter tried taking the kernel from either the galaxy r and other similar phones and came out with the same issues as we get with the leaked kernel.

Tough to say if it will ever happen, but at least there are a few people still interested enough to try. Seems the current best hope is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016837
All the top devs are working on the kernel plz support them by donating something try reading QandA section

First, this is the development forum and you should be posting in general or q&a. If you did that you would see there are so many threads with this exact same question. The same response would be, "please dont submit this type of question".
This has a tendancy to lead folk into pitting one persons work against anothers with harsh criticism.
This also tells me you are not reading. Any bugs you list are either already known about rom or are due to an unclean process of flashing.
My suggestion is decide what type of user your sister is and read up on some roms to see if the suit her needs. Every phone is going to run every rom with different degrees of success.
Make sure your process is clean and take some for a test drive. Let them settle for a day or two though to give it a fair chance.
Keep us posted.

Maybe a moderator could move it to the general threads. Please dont take my post harshly. I certainly would not be flashing anything for my sister, but maybe you get along better with yours. I just wouldnt want to be responsible for maintaining her phone if she is going to be finicky about something.
Just a heads up on the battery stats though.....the more recent your OS is, your battery life will dwindle. Even if she is the most moderate user, expect to charge every night. Your not going to get better life than anybody else.
But nobody in development will be able to help unless your flashing is as clean as you can.

Moved, and as "Best" can only be determined by the individual user, and as all the roms here are excellent and as XDA is not a support site - members are expected to make this decision on their own.
