It sounds like the samsung apps have been removed from the rom.
Just flash the samsung apps and everthing should work normally.
check the thread where you got the rom, there maybe an attachment with the samsung apps.

No the samsung apps is already installed ..
And the rom i downloaded it from here..and i checked the thread for any atachments but i found nothing..
PS. the rom i installed is for europian region but i live in egypt
Does this make diffrence?

No it would not make a difference, I have used roms from europe in egypt on vacation.
I still suggest you find the samsung apps again and reinstall them, you may have a bad installation.

Info on Stock ROM

Been trying to find the most recent Stock Rom for the Galaxy tab 10.1.
Had rooted mine and tried a few Custom ROMS which three kept rebooting and the 4th one by TASK (latest one) was great then kept slowing down to the point apps just crash. Did a restore to my backup that I did right after applying root, and didnt keep any of the original stock roms apps like task manager and weather widget.
Not thrilled about how when you save a ROM it doesnt save the apps too, or at least when you put another ROM on it removes the other apps. Either way.
Looking for the download for Stock Rom.
*Note, I will root the Tab again, is there a way to install stock ROM and still keep root so I dont have to do it all over again?
There are LOADS of stock roms, my friend. Take a look over the forum.
Or samfirmware.com
Can hardly help you more since you provide no info at all on what model you have;
7500, 7510.. wifi or 3G.. country.. languages you need...
Okay... So can anyone else provide me a link for a wifi only version, forum perusing in this massive site will be a huge pain.

Getting Confused more and more..Need Help

Hi Guys as my title Says..
i need Help very Badly.
First of all MODS and USERS i'm sorry i didn't knew where to post this thread so if its in in-appropriate section please move it to correct section. THanks
OK my problem is this.
i recently (less than a week ago ) bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 its by Bell Canada and its i9100M. i bought it online since my service provider is Rogers.
i guess this phone is already rooted to unlock it and i can see CWM and SU icon there.
Well i'm a Hardcore Blackberry Fan and have been using Blackberries from last 6 years. I loved the new samsung because of it looks and its screen.
I Had Lot of Problem with it like setting up my yahoo as push email, setting the Ringtone Profile, setting up the Custom Ringtones for Text Messages..
Having wrong time stamps on Recieved TEXT Message.. well i fixed all those by installing apps from market and forwarding my yahoo to my gmail...
i Hated doing all that but infront of the beauty of this phone i had to compromise but today it took 3 hours to find my gps location and day by day im using it i'm hating it .....
SO OK I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ALOT... the more i'm researching the more i'm getting confused...
first of all what is the difference between custom ROM and KERNEL.
i know custom rom could be like operating system but customized by unofficial person.
what the h is KERNEL..
to install rom's or kernel do i really have to root.
To unlock do i have to root or is there a paying method.
also i want to know if i'll go back to stock rom can i still unlock it.and recieve all the updates from samsung or google specially when ICS will be launched.
after unlocking and installing custom root. can i unroot it
and lastly which is best custom kernel and which is the best rom availble.
since been a blackberry user i have very basic needs. i don't play any games or download much apps and if an app is paid..i'll pay for it.. i don't want to jailbreak anything .
all i need is better battery life, gps and network coverage.
Thanks for taking time to read and reply.
Hi there.
I'll try and get through your questions as simply as possible,
Imagine your phone is like a car
A kernel is like the engine of a car - it's the low level machinery that keeps it going.
The Rom is like the body of the car around the engine. Roms can be official (or Stock Roms), or they can be customised by other people.
So, when you install a stock rom - you're installing the kernel, but you're also installing the radio (called a modem or baseband) and the registration (or the CSC which is location specific information) as well as the unique 'body' of the car for that rom - tweaks, default software, etc.
You don't have to have rooted your phone to install a Rom. When you update your phone via Kies, you are, literally, installing an stock rom. You can even install stock roms from elsewhere without rooting your phone. Because stock roms are released in different regions at different times, lots of people update their phones to the latest official roms via this method - no root required.
However, to install a custom, unofficial rom, you will need to root your phone as they will require access to the 'root level directory' of your phone's file system - which is what root really means.
You can find everything you need to know about that, how to root and also lots of stock roms you can install without rooting here:
Some shops will root you phone for you if you want to go down that path and don't want to risk it. But it's easier than you think and the galaxy s2 is very hard to break. There's lots of help available on XDA - just remember to search before you ask so you don't ask a common question the millionth time.
If you have installed a custom rom you can easily re-install a stock rom over it that will still work with Kies and thus be updateable when ICS turns up.
There is no 'best' Rom or kernel. Some Roms go 'as is' and some are customisable to the nth degree if you like fiddling with your phone non-stop. I personally use CheckRom because I like the kitchen app that lets you swap kernels, modems and mods with ease - but check out the Original Android Development threads and see which other roms you like the sound of.
Depending on what you are currently running, a new rom - even a stock one if you're running a very old one - could easily help with battery and range issues. For GPS - try installing FasterFix from the market and see if reassigning your GPS fix to a closer location helps.
Best of luck - it's a great phone once you open up its possibilities
Thanks a lot for the reply
well your reply did help me a lot...
my phone is been already rooted by someone else already from the person i bought it....
as for searching i did a lot.. and its been confusing me more and more ..well thanks for your answer
also as u said S2 is hard to break..i guess u mean is that the JIG thing on EBAY
and as for flashing the stuff i've played with other stuff just not android thing ive replaced the os on BB and jailbreaked iphones and installed macintosh on HP PC and also worked on most of the languages 10 years ago... and i believe nothing is impossible so going to someone else is never an option for me
just want to know as much as stuff i can before going further
well i have few more questions
how can i find which rom or kernel is already installed...
i mean is it possible to tell if its stock or its customized and its customized by which group.
and one last thing.. u know the words u used modem and baseband...
i read about it before...
but my question is ...
IS THE BASEBAND ANYTHING LIKE IPHONE BASEBAND???
u know in iPhones when baseband is updated u r screwed sometimes its hard to jailbreak and definately hard to unlock and reverting changes to baseband....
is it the samething in Galaxy S2 as well...
Thanks a lot for replying...i really appreciate all the time you took to reply.
Thanks once again.
Yeah baseband is the code that handles the phone part of your smartphone. Talking to your wireless provider, 3G, texts all these things are done by baseband.
Flashing a different baseband won't screw your root, and you'd still be rooted. Samsung doesn't make it hard to root as Apple does to jailbreaking. Even if something goes wrong with a new version, you can always revert back to old one using Odin(Samsung ROM flashing tool) and you are good to go.
Thanks a lot... about that quick reply...
i'm gonna collect more information and hopefully i'll be flashing it on weekend...
but how can i find which rom or kernel is already installed...

Everything you need to know can be found here. Most of it, anyway.
Backup your device with cwm when rooted ... So you can always restore to previous state. ;-)
Good luck there. But reading is a must.

Setting went wrong when quoting

also you can go settings - about phone - then look at the bottom fields to see kernel, baseband and build. Quote those and we should be able to tell what you have.

Help with Ace GT 5830

Hello. I am needing help with the Galaxy Ace GT 5830. My friend took it upon herself to try to update to the CM9 beta and it didn't work out.
I've tried helping her by going back to the stock rom that I found however its really random as to win the rom's installation will be a success. Sometime it will hang on the Samsung logo screen and sometimes it will load in the rom just fine but her phone network will not pick up her carrier. Sometimes it will pick up the carrier but later it will lose the connection.
model: Ace GT 5830 (I assume this is the same as the Ace GT s5830)
kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL882825
[email protected] #21
current rom: update-cm-7-20120602-NIGHTLY-cooper-signed.zip
I've been using Odin 4.38 with an included "TASS_v1.0.ops" file (not sure if that's significant). The phone has clockwork recovery 5 installed on it.
I obtained the stock firmware from the Samsung site:
GT-S5830_NEE_S5830XWKT7_S5830XWKT3_S5830OXFKT1 and it sometimes installed correctly but as I said previously the phone network would rarely work.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? No, she didn't make a backup when she did all this unfortunately
Use cooper.ops. Tass.ops is for galaxy mini. U can succesfully flash ace with that mini's ops amaze me
Next time make sure to understand and know exactly what your're doing before u do something stupid that can hardbrick the poor thing

>< I feel pretty stupid. Where can I obtain the cooper.ops file? Most links I find are broken or require passwords. Also thank you very much for the response.
Check here for the ops file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
(Sorry have to register but it is worth it!)
But...I always expreiance it!Then I pull battery power on agian to CWM then I wipe data/factory reset and it works
GOOD LUCK!
The link in that thread didn't work but I found the file else where. Thanks again both of you. I'll give this a try later today.

Hi
I'm the friend in question he was helping
We've since changed back to stock without an issue, however I've now gone from 5830 to 5830D since apparently that is the only Canadian stock ROM we can use with the correct baseband.
CWM however doesn't seem to install with this particular model now, so I'm stumped at how to get it to install when that model is not officially part of the script.
Is there either a stock 5830 (not version D) ROM and/or CWM file that works with the newer version? Sorry I'm completely new at this so sorry if I'm not asking the right questions
baseband doesnt matter these days, unless your're running the ace from latin america which uses different gsm spectrum than the international ace, you can just flash any stock international ace and got all working perfectly fine.
btw the latin america ace also can use international ace rom, just need to reflash the modem afterwards.
try these, flash any stock ace rom, then flash just the modem taken from that rom for your region.
Ok will try that.
I thought the baseband did matter only because when I tried two other stock roms I was unable to connect to the network afterwards, till I found the one using TLKI4, granted we did nothing with flashing the modem.
No, baseband doesnt matter much. I've been running my ace with chinese, russian, europe baseband and didnt find any difference.
But in the case u got constant network drop, maybe your operator need specific modem for your county/region.

Start with a ROM of your choice, just pick one you'd like to try and test it out. If you don't like it try another one out.
*Repeat untill your phone dies

Hi Vinay, Post ur questions in Q & A forum. Ok the difference between custom and official ROM is u ll get ROOT access, many mod from official. Moreover check the caution lines before flashing any ROM.. Watch some videos on flashing ROMs. Also always a copy of main original official ROM..
and a nandroid backup would be also useful just in case something goes wrong
Hi!
Custom rom made by developers that can be from stock (samsung) basis or aosp/aokp (google) basis according to what the devs wants and need, so you need to know about what features and themes are included in the rom so that it would match your preferences. There's sure are a lotta rom out there to try. Be sure to flash only rom that made for your phone and made a backup just in case..
Happy flashing!

Hi to all and thank you for helping me.
The big trouble is that i led my phone in to strange state where only triangle appears and logo of samgung and gets stuck in that state ;after downloading some wrong ROM, my mobile got to this state , now i want to get back in order to wakeup my mobile and brings it too original state as pervious , also to inform you that the mobile was locked to local operator and i tried to unblock and i did mistake .
I just want to have brief guide to how to start as there are many information in this forum and i dont know which tutorial should i base ON.
Basically i just want to know which ROM should i take and procedures in order to install the correct ROM in correct way. I allready has the ODIN installed in my PC and at the moment i can navegate in my phone by Clockworkmode but i dont know what i should do after that , i do know that i can put the ROM in SD Card and try to force the mobile but first i would like to have exprties opinion on this matter, PLEASE.
Regards
Vinay
Well basically if you want to restore to original state, you have to flash the stock rom for your phone or the backup you made before (which I assume you didn't made it). Try to find the stock firmware/rom for your phone version/country/region on sammobile and flash it using odin (put your phone to download mode first). Hope it helps..
P.s: don't worry about the yellow triangle thing, it'll disappear after you flashed the stock..

Thank you sir and thank you all moderator helping me on this ,
Ok ;i understood but if i dont want to go back or lets say if i want to root and unblock without original stock ROM what procedure should i do , please.
I am also having difficulties finding the best ROMS for mobile S2 GALAXY where i should find them , please.
Best Regards
Vinay Navinchandra
Dont mention "best rom" since its against the rules.Youll get a warning and your/this thread locked.
Yeah, it's a matter of preferences if you talked about what best so browsing around and try for yourself..
Some custom rom got pre-rooted, and some need to be rooted first or even not at all. There's lotta method to root sgs2 and it's not hard at all, just google it and you'll get it..

Surprisingly it seems this phone is running a leak firmware that is android 4.2.1 and it is a custom rom that you are currently running as we can see in the about phone section which means you phone is rooted( try downloading Root Checker just to check if it is rooted, it should be rooted )
...some custom roms dont have the options of NFC in them so there for you cant use them....try flashing a custom rom with android 4.1.2 ( not the leak Android 4.2.1 and 4.2.2)...that should do it and before that go into your about phone section and scroll down and take a screen shot of the custom roms name and version so that i have an idea of which rom this is
If this helped you why not press the thanks button
