For installing KitKat ROMs on Galaxy Ace, you need to install ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.x. While installing CWM 6.x, most of the users will get a BLUE screen as recovery. If you want to get out from there, you need to reset your phone by flashing stock firmware via Odin.
I Personaly love ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6, coz it's stable and also supports RFS, Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs. Currently CWM 6.x does not support any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM.
Here's one trick to modify any CM 11 / Android 4.4.x ROM for Galaxy Ace (Cooper) to support installation with CWM 5.x.
It's actually a small change in tag of updater-script. The new CWM 6.x uses 'set_metadata' tag for setting permissions. While old CWM 5.x uses 'set_perm' tag for that. I just simply changed that tag. So it may be installed with CWM 5.x.
Instructions:
Step:1 - Download this zip file. [CM 11] With CWM.5.x.zip (Dev-Host, 255 KB)
Step:2 - Download the ROM zip file, you wish to install.
Step:3 - Open ROM zip file with WinRAR/7Zip.
Step:4 - Extract 'boot.img' & 'system'-Folder to current folder.
Step:5 - Open '[CM 11] With CWM.5.x.zip' with WinRAR/7Zip.
Step:6 - Select and Drag the 'boot.img' & 'system'-Folder to WinRAR/7Zip window.
Step:7 - Wait until the files are added to the new ROM zip file.
Step:8 - Close the Zip file.
Step:9 - Rename it as you wish.
Step:10 - Copy the new ROM zip file to SD Card, and install with CWM 5.x
Warning: Take a Nandroid backup of your current rom, before doing this....

Nice guide!
But, cwm 6 without bluescreen is already available. Download it in cm11 by mardon thread.

Also i dont know for now,,, why CM11 by Maclaw Studio can flashed by CWM 5.x,,,, and the way isn't change updater script..

[Q] How to install JB 4.3 AOSP SuperNexus 3.0 on i777 S2 att?

I have S2 (AT&T) i777 and custom ROM is already installed on it AOKP. (Please see the screenshot attached)
I came across this rom for S2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407458
Can I simply install this ROM on my phone ? any problem in going from AOKP to AOSP ? Do I need to do anything before doing this ? any kernel etc ?
As mentioned in the instructions in the thread of aosp super nexus rom:
Instructions
First time installing SuperNexus 3.0 to your device, or coming from another ROM:
- Copy Google Apps and SuperNexus ROM into your internal SD Card
- Boot into Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Flash SuperNexus ROM
- Flash Google Apps' package
- Reboot your device
That's all I need to do ? I don't need to install any other thing on my phone ? any kernel etc ?

Update:
I tried installing the rom in recovery mode but it gave a bunch of errors.
I starting installing based on the assumption that I don't need to install any kernel ? please correct me if I need any kernel or any prerequisite in order to install supernexus ROM ?
Please direct me in a right direction.
What errors did it give ?? And did u follow the install instructions completely ?

If it started throwing assert errors, then it could be due to outdated recovery. If that's the case, then please update your recovery, or try a different one. For example I was using Philz touch cwm recovery, and I was unable to install aocp. Once I switched to the non-touch cwm recovery, it installed successfully.

MTK ROMs.. Very confusing

Hey everyone, So early this year I got myself a Jiayu G4S (MTK6592) mobile phone. I knew that I wouldn't be able to port Cyanogenmod and all the others over due to something about MTK not releases source code for their SoCs or something..
But I downloaded a stock ROM of my phone and looked inside and.. I have no idea what I am looking at and how to remove apps, add them or do anything now.
I did notice the System.img But no idea what to do with it..
This is the stock ROM of my MTK Jiayu G4S (At least i think it is..)

This is a Cyanogenmod 11 ROM from my HTC Sensation XE
This is inside the System folder that everyone is familiar with, where you can remove built in apps and do most of your personal editing.
Can someone please help me understand the ROM better?
You can't port CyanogenMod from one device to another . You should build it from source . Even if you want to port , both device should be of same soc hardware and MT6592 has no CM builds till now .Sorry
And in your stock rom the system folder is packed as system.img in ext4 format and you can use any ext4 unpacker to extract system folder.
Your stock rom backup is used to flash the rom to your device using SP Flash tool (like Odin for Samsung)[Official MTK flasher].
And your CM 11 rom backup is used to flash rom using custom recovery (CWM/TWRP)
You can convert your stock rom into recovery flashable zip by extracting system folder from system.img and your stock boot.img and buiding a flashable zip using them.
Hope it helps !!

https://mega.nz/persistent/mega/nBcR3ZTS
For root you can just download Kingroot.apk here it is
http://androidmtk.com/download-kingroot-application
I didn't test the cyanogen yet cause i get error E can't mount /sdcard using cwm flashed with Mtk droid tools, i googled about it but still can't find any way to solve this , so any help would be great ! and thanks in advance
Updates:
So i finally was able to get over the "E can't mount /sdcard" problem by flashing a Philz touch recovery for Energy pro, which worked fine. You can get it here . or here
One of them may work for your device.
There's also a CM 13 version based on a One+One Android Marshmallow That i've also tested and is currently running on my device links below:
Rom:https://mega.nz/#!SMcT2KJI!BWC-1Cr7vZYnonoc0xchKsmNLzMEB-jJf9k-_96L8Rg
Gapps:https://mega.nz/#!iU9lDR4Q!_YJ0D-i4A-i-WdhdS3dq4nUL-oX4fdv8NQEQHZFbpyk
Flashing Process:
Before starting the flashing process, make sure you perform a backup, follow this link for more infos about how to make one.
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR PHONE, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Hi there YU Community!
This is my fifth contribution to the YU Community
Here comes SnapDragon Browser straight from the Cyanogen OS 13 released for OnePlus One!
Flashing the zip will install the following:-
SnapDragon Browser
I really don't know what was the reason behind integrating it
(for info, refer Google )
PS:- This will replace the Stock CM Browser on MM ROMs
Screenshots in Post #02
​For MM users:-
----- How to install? -----​
Download the linked zip file.
Put in external storage or internal (your wish).
[*]Boot into TWRP Recovery & flash the zip file.
[*]That's it! Reboot
For LP users:-
----- How to install? -----​​​
Download the linked zip file.
Put in external storage or internal (your wish).
Extract the zip file and manually install the apk/
PS:- Don't try to flash it via TWRP, it gives FC upon flashing on LP.. Maybe coz its for the 6.0.1 base
Download Link:-
SnapDragon Browser
Tested on:-
CM12.1 Nightly (On Yureka Plus)
RR 5.6.6 (On Yureka Plus)
Probably should work on all devices with CM Based ROM
Credits:-
Cyanogen for COS13 Release and Me for extracting these
Sushant More for helping me in downloading the system dump of COS13 (I really have a bad internet connectivity )
Warning:-
Take a /system backup before installing (for safer side)
Enjoy!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
