I am new to xda forum and I want help from all experts especially from samsung galaxy ace s5830i experienced user.
I have recently bought this smartphone and I want to know in deep.
Like
Q.1 How Will I Backup My Android OS And Other Apps+Data?
Because I am new to this device and want to use some tricks and tweaks and for we should have backup so if something will go wrong, we will recover.
Q.2 How Will I Update My Device To Latest Android Version?
As this device comes with android version 2.3.6, and present is 4.2 or more. I don't know clearly. But everyone wants new things to try. So I want to update my smartphone.
Q.3 What Will I Get After Rooting Galaxy Ace s5830i?
While I was Googling, I got some articles of rooting. I don't understand it carefully. I want it to understand from different views. So, here I will get suggestion from different member with different knowledge.
What Is The Connection Between These Three Things?
When I was Googling, I found relation in these three things. Backup required rooted device like Titanium backup and other famous. Now, Update also require rooted device (Although I am not sure about this). Some rooting apps require android version above 4.0 but for this I have to update and for update I should backup and for this, it requires rooted device, as I have said above. Please! help me.
1. Use cwm to backup your device.
2. We don't have real 4.x
3. You can go deeper into the system after rooting and use root apps.
you can take backup of your system by clockworkmod recovery it takes backup of whole phone (system+apps)..if you want backup of your apps then there are many apps available on market for it..best one so far is titanium backup..
we currently have 2.3.6 version..don't expect official ics or jb update..i think we wont even get 2.3.7...anyway you can get ics or jb ui by any custom rom!!!!
rooting will help you run your phone at full potential with some tweaks and mods..
some apps works only on rooted devices such as titanium backup..
and from now on post in right section

honeycomb 3.1
kernel is 2.6.36.3
i rooted my tab when i got it, i remember also that i did a backup in case i would have to sent it to repair
i have superuser installed.
Now i saw a way to get ICS buy doing this :
[...]So go grab a copy of 4.0.4 for your tab by hitting MENU / SETTINGS / ABOUT DEVICE / SYSTEM UPDATE and click “check for updates”.
I use my tab a lot for work, i got plenty of apps and i need to know :
if i should do another backup of my tab now before trying to update?
if i have to reinstall everything after the update ?
if i have to unroot before trying to update?

When I upgraded to ICS all my apps and data remained intact. But since you are already rooted, go ahead and do a backup of all your user apps with Titanium Backup.
I think as long as you are still using Samsung's recovery image, you will not have to unroot your device.
From my reading of other people's upgrades, they lost root after upgrading. But you can regain root afterwords.
As far as improvements in speed/quality/daily usage; my opinion is yes. Other will argue differently but I have enjoyed ICS on my Tab.
Good Luck and click my Thanks button if this helped.
thanks for your help, am doing the backup with titanium atm
u said i could regain root after upgrading, do you have any link ? i know i know, am a bit lazy to look around sorry
i remember that it was really easy with honeycomb, i hope the maniplation is as simple with ICS

Take this with the knowledge that you are in Canada and I have a true 4G Tab. I do not know what this will do with your device but here is the procedure I used to upgrade to ICS and root my VZW Tab. I would suggest seeking the assistance of someone with the same device.

actually i havent lost my root
i still have superuser and titanium backup installed and working
all my apps are still there too
i only have to redo all my personnal configuration on the 5 diff homescreens (with is long but easy)
so far, combined to advance task killer, my tab is freaking fast
thanks again, i appreciate it
Hi all and thanks for the precious and detailed information you posted in the Forum.
I am quite new with Samsung (Android).
Just left the other World few months ago.
I was using the iPhone and switched to Android because of different considerations like battery, higher display, etc.
I am interested in ROOTing my device (Samsung S3 - GTI9300 International).
May I ask you a couple of questions about this step?
- The ROOT process will remove my installed applications
- After ROOTing the GooglePlay will still be available to update my Applications
- Future FIRMWARES update from Samsung will be available also for ROOTed devices
- unROOTing the device means (easily) reinstall the original FIRMARE or there is an easier step
Many thanks for your (all) help!!!
Happy Android
It depends of how you root it (if you install acustom rom or not) but if it's only the root itself it will not change your phone at all, still your apps, google play working.
But you'll not be able to change firmware with kies, only with flashing new roms. Also unrooting is not hard, and everything is really weel explain on the s3 forum here in XDA

I am just starting.
Interested in ROOT process only by now and of course the unROOT step after.
I will check the S3 forum as per your kind suggestion.
Trying in a while to load and use a "Custom Rom".
Thanks a lot for your replay!!!!!
:good:
Hello ! I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini 4.2.2 JB but i still use my custom rom. Now i am aware that i cant use the full features of GravityBox module on Xposed because it doesnt support Samsung TouchWiz. Can you guide me on how can i flash Vanilla Android (I'm not exactly sure what this is) on my galaxy device, so i could benefit on 100% from the GravityBox.
Vanilla Android usually refers to an Android system with no modifications by manufacturers or ROM devs. You should find such ROMs and lots of explanations in your devices forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini. For example you could try Cyanogenmod (which is not vanilla but close enough that Xposed should work well): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Serranoltexx_Info The installation guide there should also work for most other ROMs. Whatever you do, keep in mind that gathering as much information as possible before doing something prevents most problems

Thank you. One more question, when i flash the new rom everythink in the phone erases, right ?
Yes! Before flashing you will need to wipe everything in your custom recovery (you'll easily find out what that exactly means). But since you seem to be rooted you can backup your apps and data by Titanium Backup.

Alright, so i go under recovery mode, wipe everything out and then i can flash the new rom vie Odin. Then i just make backup with my titanium and I'm ready to go ?
You first make the backup with titanium, after flashing you restore it. But, yes, thats in general the procedure to follow. Anyway, since I have no experience with your device, I gave you the two links. Just in case there is something special to keep in mind.
Yes i will take a closer look to the whole process these days before doing it. Thank you for the help :highfive:
I was told to redirect my question here. My original post is :
Hi, my name is Anthony and I have a T-Mobile S5 running the latest version of android (I think it's 5.0.1 or 5.0). I'm kinda a newb with flashing and rooting. I had my phone rooted using towel root a while ago, but I lost that root in an update and it is no longer supportive of my phone.
I'm looking to install custom roms but before I do so, I would like to make a full backup of my current stock touch wiz so I can revert to it in case I don't like the new rom. I also would like to root my phone. Oh, and before anyone tells me that I need to install Odin, I have a Mac running Yosemite.... A lot of people have told me that I need to install clock work in order for this whole process to work.
Recap advice/how to:
1. Make backup rom
2. Root phone
3. Teach me how to flash roms using a Mac.
4. Include any other important info and links for downloads.
I mainly want to install CM12, but I still want a backup rom to revert to later
Thanks, and please don't post any hate

There is well written instructions on the web already. Maybe I could find a link for you.
That would be great. I've tried a couple with no success
Just use a windows pc... borrow one its 5 minutes to root.
Use odin.
You can downgrade to kit Kat also if u want u don't have to stay on 5.0
there are not many 5.0 roms or even customization for lollipop ,you will discover that fast.

Hey guys
First of all,iphone was the first smartphone i've ever used
but for some reasons i had to use another smart phone >> Galaxy s3 GT-i9300 (Android version 4.3)
but i have a huge lag in opening and closing applications ,something like overloading the rams
i've tried Factory reset but the problem begins again after i dowload 5 apps
after search found someone like making custom software of android
ROM-Cyngon i don't even understand this thing
but some ppl say you have to pick the most suitable rom for your device to be much faster than brand new
so if anyone can help me with this problem would be appreciated
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks in advance
@Madoxv:
1. The easy way without installing anything: in settings ..apps ..all you can freeze apps, you don't use. Delete their data, too. Use xda-search-function to get a list of freezable apps.
2. More effective is to root your phone and flash a lite ROM. But before you do this, read. Otherwise you probably make a brick. Search-function again:
'How to root S3' and 'How to flash ROM S3'.
If you want full support for camera, wifi and sensors, use a ROM, based on firmware (Touchwiz). CyanogenMod or AOSP-ROMs don't.
