Project discontinued because there are by far better CM10.1 releases by Wayland_Ace and others.
Despite that, i got a new device and my good ol' SGA is now in hands of my wife. I hope, i could give something to the community. Thanx for everything..
Most credits go to 'TheWhisp'. So if you want to thank someone, Say thanks to him. He made most of this possible.
Another 'special' credit and a very warm 'Thank you' goes to 'erikcas' who helped me a lot in creating this release.
This thread is for development only. If your post is not development related, DO NOT post here. Post in the general thread. Any person not following these rules WILL receive an infraction, this is your only warning.
Introduction - First of all, We're all doing this as a hobby. This is not our job, so, please, follow these simple rules:
* Don't ask for estimated time of arrival (ETA). I will release a new build when I feel it's ready.
* Don't request any additional features. This is meant to be pure ROM from CyanogenMod sources, so any 3rd party features will not be added.
* Don't report a bug if it's already reported. Report bugs here (click)! and don't forget to mention that you're on Galaxy Ace
* If you use this sources, add us in the credits and let us know of your project.
* Keep this thread clean, use talk topic for chat. Post only development related things here. (bug reports, suggestions, possible fixes etc)
Functions / features that are not fully working:
1) Native USB tethering
2) Native Wi-Fi tethering
3) Google Now (Voicesearch)
* Boot into CWM
* Wipe Data/Factory Reset
* Goto 'mounts and storage' and 'format /system' (Double check that you have selected /system and NOT /sdcard)
* Flash Archive
* After first boot, wait 2 Minutes before you enter your PIN.
* Do your own settings and reboot
revert back to original framebuffer size in kernel. ROM should be more responsive now

Dithering disabled by default for performance
Notes:
- Due to the fact that in this latest release cooper device sources did not change, it has ONLY been tested for boot up. No further tests (wifi, bluetooth, etc..) were made.
- Some people report performance increases of UI by removing 'hwcomposer.msm7x27.so' from /system/lib/hw. This has not been tested by me. But you can try and report back here, if it really works. (As always: Don't forget to do a CWM backup first)
- As long as there are no significant changes in CM sources or improvements in device sources, there will be no new CM10 release after this one because focusing on CM10.1 from now on.
Notes about 'Google Now'
Google Now seems to be a general problem in many ROM's. For more information see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1747224 If someone wants to do something for this ROM, she/he can check out this thread if there's a solution for us.
Tweaking
Some people asked me, what i recommend to make Jellaxy more reponsible and faster. So here are my personal recommendations for tweaking.
Some words on Tweaking.
During the last weeks, i've read a lot of 'my rom is laggy' posts in general thread and here. I think some words should be said on this.
First of all, be aware that all those 'Turbo' scripts floating around do more or less ALL the same. They all manipulate system and kernel settings by writing values to special 'device files'. Most effective results are/were achieved by writing new OOM values to '/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj' and '/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree'. Since ICS, writing to this device files via init.d scripts doesn't work anymore, because since ICS those values are overwritten with default values later during boot up. This is why i added code to Jellaxy which makes it possible to set this values in 'build.prop' (See here: https://github.com/Jellaxy/android_f...96e666598e089d). This is also, why Supercharger needs a patched 'services.jar' to work in ICS and JB. In the latest release of CM10, i already changed OOM values (based on OOM Calculator by zeppelinox) and lowered the max. number of hidden apps to 10 (See build.prop). I don't think that any script will make things 'revolutionary' better. However, you should always have in mind that:
278Mb stays 278Mb, whatever you do. No script in this world can change this
We are on JB and not an GB anymore. JB was never meant to run on devices with just 278 Mb of memory
So i recommend to try to run Jellaxy CM10 without any tweaking script first. Let it settle down and wait a day. Additionally try to limit max. number of Background processes to 4 in 'Developer Settings'.
Try to use swapping, if it makes things better for you or not.
If you want to try out a tweaking script, make a CWM backup first. So you can always revert back if something goes wrong. And always try only one script at a time and DO NOT flash all scripts that promise to give you 'the ultimate fastest machine on the planet'.
..2SD
Most of you will probably have noticed that for some reason most available scripts have an impact on performance. I recommend to use 'Link2sd' from Playstore. It's the only one i've found so far, which pushes apps, dalvik and system libs to SD without breaking performance.
good luck with that, meanwhile waiting for wayland git to make a stable cm9.
Greetings.
EDIT: i forgot! it's working with erikcas kernel on github?? i'm compiling a nimms kernel (experimental only) but i'm not sure which kernel are more stable...
[B]Special Remark for Galaxy Ace: Unfortunately Galaxy Ace is the only device where camera driver in kernel is not working yet. We're working hard to solve this problem.
FIT has that problem to :P strange isnt it FIT and ACE have 5MP camera and they dont work. GIO and MINI 3MP work lol... Some camera apps work on FIT so i think they will work on ACE NightVisionCam, twisted camera.
I think problem could be that camera isnt properly recognized all camera apps think that camera is 3MP and we cant put 5MP
Given the amount of coverage that Android receives around here, you could almost be … more
