I'm having similiar problems. How do you 'format' all directories?
Jut Flash this kernel GearKernel - Universal
-Factory Reset
-Wipe Cache
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
Then go to mounts and storage and format all directories....except the sdcard
that's all....

My S5830i won´t boot up
Hi Guys,
its great to see, that there are still some users of this device and this rom. I try to flash a rom for the Ace for at least 7 Days now. I bricked it already, restored it with a full Stock firmware. I tried a lot of cm7 roms but none of them would boot up. I installed them like described. Recovery, wipe, install kernel reboot recovery install rom and gaps. After rebooting it stucks at the "Samsung Galaxy Ace" start screen. I already wiped Data and Cache after this, but it wont fix this problem. I would absolutely happy if someone could give me a hint what could be wrong.
Thanks for your help, cheers!
@NootYest, I am really concerned about the correct way you have been restoring your device back into stock firmware [ RFS partitions ] though. please follow my instruction @ post#6 for wipe flash-able zip packages , if you are doing other methods.
As for your problems , I am going to devise an experiment to force your partitions being transformed into EXT4, before flashing our CM Specific Basic Kernel. ( Method would apply only to CM7/7.2 based on kernel CM7 v4.0 (cooperVe). Do not use it on newer CM's please. )
Requirements :
SLIM_CM7.2_Cooperve #4
Temporary CWM for s5830i/c/M/s5839i devices , known as cooperVe.
CM Specific Basic Kernel - BroadcomCM[COOPERVE][v4.0 ]
EXT4 Formatter Tool
SLIMGapps by mathm2013 (Optional) >> This is an extreme bare bone Rom , check Dev section; his topic; for more instruction on how to flash this package.
1.. Copy them in the root of your SD card. ( Full back ; EFS partition back up; CWM back up is advised)
2.Boot into stock e3 recovery >> wipe data and flash your Temp CWM
3.cwm > wipe data > wipe cache > wipe dalvik cache
4.flash the EXT4 Formatter tool, so whole system will be converted to EXT4. (Stock filesystem is RFS).
5.Install kernel_CM7_v4.0_cooperVe .
6.When the Kernel is installed, go to the advanced menu --> "reboot recovery" (this will reboot the device, thus you will be directed into your new CWM built-in, which is implanted inside Kernel ).
7.Wipe data, cache and dalvik
8.Go to "mounts and storage", and make sure /system partition is mounted (will show unmounted)
9. Main menu > "Install zip from SD Card" > choose "zip from SD card" and install the ROM.
10.Reboot
I am going to check on your progress later ,,,,,

Hi ehsanotaku,
thank you for your reply!!!!! I did the trick! I tried different processes of installing cm7 and i think i know where the problem were.
First let me explain how i installed the rom. The Situation is a s5830i with Stock GB and an empty SDCard:
1. I copied the temporary cwm, the kernel, the cm7 and the gapps on the root of the SD
2. Reboot into stock recovery and start tmp recovery
3. Wipe data cache and dalvik
4. Install cm7 kerne and reboot recovery
5. Now I am in the new kernel recovery. There I go to mounts and storage, unmount system and format system
6. After formating system I installed the cm7, went back to mounts and storage and check if system is mounted
7. If system is mounted UNmount System
8. Install gapps, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot
The things i did in another way were formating system and unmount system before installation. So the update package had to mount the partition on its own. This process worked for me two times on two different devices. Perhaps you can add this to the main thread for future users.
Thank you!
@NootYest, I was going to recommend you to format your /System partition where your previous Android OS was resided, after your initial test. However this process is not necessary by default , when you are coming from stock GB -based OS ( unless you didn't revert back completely to your OLD RFS partitions as I did instruct ) . And for any modification/suggestion in regards of installation alternative methods please pm OP of ROM . I am just a regular novice helper @ XDA.
Have fun tinkering
I can confirm this works on a s5839i. Installed today on s5839i.
Any themes available for this rom as the packaged theme leaves a little to be desired, on all levels.
Oh dear this post seems to have been redirected to a different thread, so the question by the previous users in the other thread goes unanswered.
can you make a video on it pls pls ..............

Thanks for this ROM
my 5830i was actually unusable on stock rom due to too many built in apps....This Slimcm7 rom actually solved my cell problem...too stable too light fluid performance.
Just on negligible issue is that sygic maps are not working on it but as i said its negligible.
Thanks developer for this wonderful rom
First of all, this is my first post on this forum, so I'd like to say hello to everybody.
I made a bit of a mess with my father's phone (it was mine before he had it, so it was already modded), and the explanation will be somewhat long because I tried everything before coming here for help.
This phone had Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, installed through the official Cyanogenmod 12.1 Nightlies. It was working perfectly, but I wanted to install more Gapps on the /system partition and switch some of the original Cyanogenmod apps with the corresponding Google apps. I used Deltadroid's modular Gapps (Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368) to install everything I needed on the /system partition, but I only did a factory reset+cache wipe instead of wiping the /system partition too and starting from scratch, because I couldn't find the option to wipe the /system partition in the "stock" Cyanogen Recovery. Now the phone will boot, enter recovery mode and even get to the setup screen, but as soon as the Google Play Services are needed, they crash and the setup won't go on. I tried installing the CWM but the signature check fails every time, I tried using ADB but I'm no expert and I don't know how to make it work, I tried reinstalling the ROM and wiping /data and /cache once again to no avail, I tried basically everything but it seems the only thing that can be done is wiping the /system partition and reinstalling both the ROM, the Gapps and the add-ons.
The problem is, I have no idea how to wipe the /system partition, so I was wondering if anyone here could help.
Thanks in advance.
Hi @Valtekken
You just need to have a "signed" .zip to flash through that recovery. Try the philz 6.48.4 attached here. I have heard of a few people not being able to flash this one, if it doesn't install, use the other one first, reboot to recovery, and then flash 6.48.4. So -
1. Flash the philz recovery
2. Reboot to recovery, not system
2a. (Flash the other one, reboot to recovery [if you used XWMS3 first])
3. Do your wipes(you should only need to wipe /system if you want to keep your data, but I always recommend a clean install if possible - /data, /cache, and dalvik/art cache as well)
4. Install the new CM12.1 and gapps
BTW the gapps you can flash will depend on whether or not you have repartitioned. If you have stock /system partition just install a pico or minimal gapps

First of all, thank you for answering!
I tried many "-signed" .zips, but none of them worked, so I'll assume I used non-compatible ones. There was space for the Gapps on the /system partition, mainly because I made sure of getting only the Gapps and the few addons I needed, so the MB count was very low.
I'll try your recovery right now and let you know in a moment, hopefully this solves the problem and I can have the phone working again.
Managed to install the recovery, format the /system, /data and /cache partitions, install the rom, the Gapps and the add-ons. It worked, but the phone still gives me an "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped". How can I get the apps to work? What could the problem be?
I solved the problem, finally...I changed the Gapps package (I used TK's Gapps) and managed to install it and make everything work.
Thanks for all your help! I think the thread can be closed now.
Hi there,
I may be being stupid here I want to move from Lineage OS to crDroid. Im currently on the latest 01/01/2019 LOS build, with 8.12.24 vendor firmware. I didnt flash the disable encryption patch so my device is encrypted. Im guessing I need to remove any security off the lock screen? Im using the unofficial TWRP build - 12/12/2018.
So to make the switch, do i need to wipe my data, or can I migrate over?
And when I go to flash, which wipes do I need to do before installing the ROM?
Im just worried about flashing and then locking my phone with the encryption because I've missed a step This is my first phone that uses android 9.0, and im not used to the forced encryption stuff.
If someone could give me a lil list of steps, that would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
That I do is:
-wipe system, data, cache, Dalvik
-flash new rom, flash gapps
**Flash any custom kernel if you want
Now here is the differences
1) if I want keep the encryption but format the internal storage I just do a factory reset or format data or internal storage, all are the same and reboot in the system
2) if I don't want keep the encryption, I reboot into recovery, later format data, then flash the zip to keep the phone unencrypted (FDE? I don't remember the name exactly but it is in a post on the guide section), and last flash magisk, then reboot system
3) if you have the phone without encryption and you want keep it in that way, just do the wipe to the system,data,cache,dalvik then flash system, gapps, any kernel at your choice, magisk and reboot into system
PD: remember if you flash a vendor zip, the phone will be encrypt
PS:I hope that I don't get wrong in something
I have TWRP installed, but when I wipe data, encryption still is active. TWRP is essentially useless if it can't access /data to do a complete backup/restore. Can someone post steps of how to remove encryption?
You need to install a file called TREBLE-Disable-Forceencrypt using TWRP. Here is the link : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904004415
Make sure to FORMAT DATA in TWRP (not a simple /data wipe, a format, where you need to type yes) and then flash your new system and after that this zip.

Thanks cab13, that did the trick. Appreciate it. I backed up, and then deleted the /data partition, and TWRP warned "No OS"! Restored my backup, so all is working in both directions with TWRP. Thank You!
No big deal Enjoy your phone.
