Hi,
One of the things that I don't like about SGS3 int stock roms by Samsung is the fonts, especially the Arabic font so I am wondering if I can change the font to original JB fonts. I have tried apps and replace fonts however, I had the following issues: sometimes the phone didn't start and stuck in start-up or the new font has not been changed in all locations (sms still using Samsung stock fronts...)
I only want to use Google JB fonts in my SGS3 stock rom, I don't want to install any custom rom.
Thanks guys!

It didn't work for Arabic fonts
Same issue for me, i didnt want to root, just rooted atleast i'll replace the font and then unroot it..
After rooting, using font installer (root) application from playstore, i bricked my TAB2, it last in downloading and flashing stock firmware. Now i'm really scared to do or playing with /system partition..

If you don't need to backup your data, just flash back the stock ROM using Odin.

Hi all.
My phone is running on XXKPH deodexed, with CF-Root addition (as seen on my signature) and all working fine.
I just flashing a new theme (Honeycomb KPH) then I found my phone getting bootloop, so I had to restore to the original theme. I tried to flashing a new theme again (Dark MIUI KPH) and get bootloop again, I've restore the original theme again.
My question is, how to apply theme successfully without getting bootloop again and again?
Thanks for your help.
Did you mount system before flashing new theme?

If ur using CWM to flash themes u may experience problems as those themes u tried aren't compatible with CWM3 and above, I had the same problem so now I'm stuck with stock theme until Ginger real is released
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
I had the same problem. Couldnt do anything about it. I had already backed up my rom before flashing. So got my ace running again.
Yeah I'm currently using CWM. Thanks for your information, I'll try to apply manually with Root Explorer...
Alright this is my first post here..
I am a complete newbie as far android rooting and custom rom installation is concerned. I have been using Samsung galaxy ace's stock installation unrooted phone for about 6 months...after installing a few apps the phone has become sluggish..and battery drains out more quickly I can do a factory reset
but its not practical reinstalling apps again and again . I figured out custom rom is the way to go to unlock the potential of the phone but the chances of bricking my phone has stopped from taking the plunge.
I haven't yet found a recent how to root and install custom rom post for the galaxy ace S5830 ,the ones that are available are 8 -9 months old I believe a lot has changed since then
My current rom is gingerbread DDKQ6
In short this is what I want
1) Back-up the entire factory os( ie samsung touchwiz etc)..incase I screw up I can always go back.
2) root the phone
3) Install a stable and secure rom gingerbread or ics (even better) which is fast and doesn't lag after installing a few apps. without sacrificing any original features of the phone apart from touchwiz
4) a rom which has all google apps running (gmail,android market,placess,navigation ,search,youtube etc).. i noted the current ics roms for galaxy ace don't have the camera working.
Pls help.

Flash cwm5 from stock recovery. Backup your rom then look in android development

Chances of bricking is very less. You can read the stickies in development section. All info given there. Nothing much has changed. So you can use the old posts without worry.
as you new better start with a stock custom Rom . try stocklite 6 or adrenaline Rom. you Will know what you were missing.

For flashing a rom, ALWAYS delete Dalvic cache, cache and factory reset. Remember those 3 and you can flash any rom you want. Delete these before installing the rom, then flash.
Some roms don't require you to delete one of those, but always do just for safety measures and to avoid future problems.
How do i update superuser app?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
As other users told you you can follow other guides about galaxy ace (even 11 month old, not so much have changed (for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145).
Just two advices if it's your firs experience with ROMs and root (that I learned here, and "save" my smartphone til now! )
1) To avoid lag and memory limits you should try link2sd or a2sd when yo'ull root (google for them)
2) NEVER use ROM Manager (or the CWM apk pre-installed in some ROMs) to backup your phone/intall ROMs/MOD/etc (NEVER USE IT!) because it'll brick your Ace!
Hope have helped you... Good Luck

So i`ll assume that you already rooted ok?
Download Clockworkmod recovery from dev section
Install it by going to recovery-apply update then choose the sip file
Reboot
Download AOSP rom
put in SD
reboot to recovery
wipe everything
install zip from SD
choose AOSP rom ok?
but AOKP is still under beta so I don`t really recommend it
Its all on www.google.com or just use your brain to click the stickies please....

no i havnt rooted the phone.. but i have read somewhere that it is must to root phone before installing custom rom.. so looking forward the app and method to root my device
another thing is i want take up my stock rom too.. i may shift to stock ROM if i m unable to handle custom..
so the backup of the stock ROM is to be taken before rooting orr after rooting?
Back up with cwm after rooting and after installing cwm. Still, the best way to return to stock is Samfirmware and flashing through Odin (u need a PC and the ace's controllers).
It's all in the forums, just don't rush to flashing stuff without an exit plan.

Let say I root my SGA, then installed CWM recovery, and then I installed Cyannogen.
Is it I can unroot back in order to remove superuser?
Will my Cyannogen had problem because of this unrooting process???
Without root youre Ace will be like a rock )
Why u wanna do that ?
For what ?
you can unroot by flashing any stock rom you want with odin.
Hmm. Superoneclick has a unroot function, but custom ROM will not function well if you are doing it for warranty you gotta reflash stock ROM

What are you trying to achieve?
Sent From ACE BeATs
This file will UNROOT it .. But I don't know what will happen to your ACE with that Custom ROM .. I don't take any responsibilities ..
just out of curiosity, why would you want to unroot if you are on a custom rom? I can understand when its for warranty but there's no reason on cyanogenmod.
guess some people had weird way of thinking :/
why would you? just dont use root features and dont risk the things that could happen when unroot on a custom rom
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
you wanna keep cyanogenmod just without root? 3 ways. 1) go into the flashable .zip file for the rom.and delete superuser.apk . 2) get supersu from the market then open it. go into settings then unroot (deletes binary files and superuser so this makes more space for whatever you want.) 3) theres a few apps on the market that "hide" root but dosnt get rid of it. type root hide (or something like that) into google play then find a app. note that you can get root back anytime.
note: if you use supersu then you can just delete binary files if you may want root in the future (deletes superuser.apk and binary but keeps its own binary hidden if you just delete binary. then in the future download supersu (not superuser because the binarys gone) and your rooted again. sometimes root apps work without supersu / superuser if the binarys still there. you just dont get the notification)

If ur loking for stable HC3.2 try Overcome 10.1 Series. Most stable for 3G GTab but removes too much from TouchWiz.
I would personally recommend GALAXY TASK 14 or Clean ROM 2.0 but only if u have WiFi only GTab.

If you mean updates for android os,Ice cream sandwich and jelly bean have already been released(ICS without camera and JB without anything right now...).
I recommend only ICS CM nightly if you ever want to flash...
I rely on the tab to take pics a lot, so I cant afford to lose the camera. Clean ROM's developer seems to have moved on to another device, so I think I'm gonna go with Task. Thanks!
Ps: This may sound dumb, but how do you update CWM, and how to install the b00sted's themes here ? I downloaded it but have no idea how. Does it run on stock launcher?

In order to install cwm touch, you have to put it in a .tar file and use odin. Or make a cwm flashable zip.

Hello guys, I have a rooted GT-I9300 on stock android 4.3 with philz touch recovery.
So I like S5 a lot, but I can't afford one obviously. However, I would like to flash S5 stuffs like launcher and accuweather widget on this device. I've been struggling for some time, trying to find a way to deodex the stock android 4.3 rom. I came across a few methods like the xUltimate, titanium backup and so on, but none of these methods seems to work on our beloved S3... I'm not sure whether xUltimate works for S3 but so far I never come across S3 user who successfully deodex their device using this method. Titanium backup doesn't seems to work too since it only deodex apps, not the firmware... I know I can easily do this by flashing a deodexed stock rom, but I don't really want to flash another rom yet...
I'm sorry to ask this, but I'm running out of idea, so guys, is there any way to deodex the stock android 4.3 rom so that I can install mod like S5 launcher? Thank you for your help!
Any helps guys? I really can't find a proper solution
Why not use one of the stock roms here on xda that have already been deodexed by an expert?

Odex rom seems to perform better and more battery-friendly compared to a deodexed rom. I think it would be better for me to learn how to deodex/re-odex the rom so that I can re-odex the rom after I finished installing mods to ensure the best performance.
This thread is going down any helps?
