place the rom that you have downloaded to the root of your SD card(outside from any folder)
does wipe data mean delete all your stuff apps contacts everything
yes you right, so backup all your private data, contacts, internet settings, you can use titanium backpro
where i can download android 4.0.3 file?
in the above features link
Would you help me to upgrade my Ace to that? I tried everything in cyanogenmod.com but nothing seems to work :( How can I get rid of "Installation Aborted" :(
oh sorry, maybe you forget to enable the usb debugging mode?
btw will it work on gingerbread 2.3.4 ?
Hi,do this rom supports arabic language ?!
@harman: maybe :p
because i only try this on 2.3.5
just try it, but don't forget to backup firts
@wassim: no, beacuse it is based with europe firmware
worked and more stable then my previous ROM !
thanks for share ! :D
may i post it to my blog ? i'll put your original link to.. :)
Thanks it worked.
But the CWM5 is corrupt the link for the good one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1138687&d=1340043860.
Anyone else doing this tutorial dont turn off (except after Rooting CWM5)just take out the sd card and put files on it and reinsert thats what i did.
Thanks Again.
It doesnt work for GT-S5830I i tried and it says installation abborted!!! WTF
oh ya!! i reformatted my phone=,=
i'm sorry, maybe you didn't follow all the step
beacuse many people have succesfully update to this rom
I am to scared to do this haha :'), I thought about it a few times but still to scared, and I was wondering how to do this full CWM backup? (yeah I am a noob)
are arabic language works on it ?
@mahmoud: unfortunately no
@banaan: haha, yeah i feel the same when i first try to flash my phone, but anything will be good if you have a great brave :p, and follow the step. i have update the tutorial, you will see the link tutorial to make backup
Camera %100 works because it's really important for me ?
the camera is 100% works and all 2.3.x can use this
first time i tried to flash.i bricked my phone...so i had to reflash the gingerbread rom onto my phone...
Can this be installed without CWM?
Does my phone have to rooted for this?! also, the only reason i wana do this is because my galacy ace has become so slow and it lags alot. Will this be fixed after the ROM update. I mean is the galaxy ace hardware able to support all this?
@cristopher: no, you must use cwm v5. you can find the link on that tutorial above
@tonyR: yes you must root your phone.
hmm i think if your galaxy ace become slow because your rom is damaged. so you must flash new firmware and fix the lag first. so when you install the custom rom above everything will run smoothly.
see this:
flash stock firmware on galaxy ace
and can u teme...if in future i want to un install cm9 can i do it? if then how?
that is not called uninstall, but flash
so if you want to get back to ginger
follow the link on your comment above, you just need to install stock rom
should the phone be rooted to do this...?
yes
