Perhaps the I represents "Indian" ?
Anyhow if the latest firmware you're referring to is 2.3.6, I'm currently running that on my S5830 and it works fine.

The 'I' refers to an upgraded model. Maybe, the new hugo ace edition or galaxy ace plus. Our phone model is GT-S5830

No, the ROM from GT-S5830I will not work on our ace if the S5830I refers to Galaxy Ace Plus :)

Can you please tell which earlier version you were using before upgrading to 2.3.6 latest version. I am currently running DDKQ6 and want to know if i can upgrade it to 2.3.6 also.

You can upgrade to 2.3.6 without caring about your baseband version if your phone isn't operator specific.

i downloaded the firmware 2.3.6 from samfirmware but when i select the tar file in odin the odin application close . so i think there is some problem with the tar file if anyone has the correct source file with them please post ... waiting .


and important thing there is no such model like s5830i on samsung website or gsmarena sites ... i think its fake firmware as even odin does not accept it...

can download and check yourself will know what i mean to say...

Just find that what's yr phone model no is ?
Go to setting-about phone see yr model no.....

Whether it is s5830 or s5830i ???

Now this two model are different.
So stock ROM of s5830i will not work on s5830.
Odin will be crashed when you try to install s5830i on s5830...
So use only those ROMa which are for s5830 any???
I am using Singapore's ROM works perfectly . And it's official .
you can upgrade any updates through kies if any available....

The S5830i is a different phone
[]Brodcom chipset
[]different GPU (VideoCore IV HW)
[]different sensors
[]different partitions
[]different camera
[]Codename - COOPEREV

Its your phones funeral if you flash a S5830i firmware:D

How to visually tell the difference of if its S5830i or S5830?
You can't its visually completely identical to S5830

In other words the phone will be HARD bricked if custom FW is flashed or Stock FW's flashed a few times.
thank god i did not buy my Ace later!:D

Acording to the quadriant score its 2 times slower then GT-S5830

LOL Trollsung (Samsung) is so awesome when it comes to FW

Flashing custom ROM for S5830 into S5830i

Guys,

I tried doing the above and it was aborted. Lucky I took a nandroid backup beforehand.

OK. so ROM for 5830 cant be flashed into 5830i. thats clear. :mad:

But what about themes and other apps? Will they also not work?

    I see there's a lot of confusion with model, i'm gonna try to make it clearer
    S5830 AND S530I ARE DIFFERENT AT VARIOUS LEVELS

    SPECIAL NOTE: ROMS of S5830 WILL NOT WORK WITH S5830I UNDER ANY CONDITION

    GENERAL PURPOSE USAGE
    The phones are same in design and for "non-developer" general daily use there is not much difference except for newer bluetooth version!:eek:

    GAMES
    S5830 has capacity to play certain ARMV7 games like Temple Run etc because harware acceleration is provided by ROMs(courtesy of CM) as they have openly available GPU sources and libraries unlike in case of S5830I where such sources are not available however certain games can made playable via chainfire 3d. Here' the tutorial:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2063993:good:

    CYANOGENMOD
    CM for S5830I is not available for daily use. CM7 is under development but is under alpha stage till now and is also facing lot of problems due to kernel, hardware libs incompatibility etc.:(

    ROMS FOR S5830I
    Lots of ROMs are now available for S5830I. Just head to android development section and start flashing:good:

    WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT
    The developers of GALAXY Y AND ACE-I are now in talks with Broadcom for release of drivers and broadcom have given them binaries for testing. So let's hope one day we will also see the light of CM!:fingers-crossed:

    Another note: Galaxy Y S5360 has same hardware as S5830I so most of the ROMs of S5360 will work on S5830I but most probably your phone dilaer(phone.apk) will crash, such situation can solved by using LCD modder app and changing LCD density to 160. However i recommend use of ROMs made for S5830I. Otherwise you can help the developer of the original rom to port the rom to your device(Eg. JellyBlast V3)

    Hello mods

    A kind proposal to all the mods here

    As you guys know the galaxy ace was one of the best selling android mobiles but unfortunately the older ace is available only in few shops.They are stopping production of the old ace and we now have the s5830i which has a completely different hardware...

    There are more and more users day by day who have bought this phone and waiting for custom roms,mods,support,help etc...

    The sub-forum for ace would be cluttered with all our device requests..and to get the elite devs working on our device..we need a separate sub-forum.So in kind regard of us ace s5830i users..Please give us a sub-forum:)

    Thanks
