Root not working

I am able to root the Ace with Super One click, as in it adds superuser in the apps. however when I run the SU test, su allow no prompt comes up. I wanted to use root explorer but that app does not get root access.

has anyone been able to get root access to Galaxy Ace that actually works.

using 2.2.1 S5830XEKB1 tried with stock ROM to same result.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

-using nearly screen brithness zero
-wifi 3g ONLY on when needed
-wifi connections, uncheck informations about net
-samsung updates to never
-never using flight mode, just uncheck 3g and wifi overnight (flight mode costs 10-15%)

with these settings and following usage:
-15min gps, tracking record
-about 4 hours screen on and playin around with internet, apps on wifi, 3g

i get this one and 17 % left (the last 17 % always keeps a half day alone!)

First impressions: Great phone.
Although I have a SGS, I just got an SG Ace, updates to newest S5830XEKB1 firmware, rooted with SuperOneClick 1.71 and everything working.
Although my hands are pretty big, the ACE looks to be more comfortable in my hands than the SGS.
Screen is very nice, bit less sharp than the AMOLED on the SGS but still beautifull. Responsiveness is very good, 2.2.1 definitely doing it's work well here.

ROMS for Galaxy Ace S5830

Hi,

Is it possible to put a ROM from a different model like for example Samsung I5700 Spicia or any other compatible? Will it brick the phone? Have someone has the original ROM for S5830?

Also if someone knows a good site with the newest ROMS for Samsung phones i'd be delighted to know it...

Thanks for the reply... B-)

Anyone else having wifiproblems? Log says: Wifiservice():Failed to load wifi driver. After reboot everything is fine.

I had the same problem. I was advised that a memory cleaner causes this issue. I uninstalled the memory cleaner i'm using. So far haven't encountered this issue. I will let you know if this is not the case.

By Default System is in ReadOnly mode, Mount it with write Access, use root explorer or other tools available in market

Yeah even i have felt the back of the phone heating up, i presume its due to the processor maybe there is some heat dissipation vent somewhere.

Btw i just checked in Darky forum and we all ace users may have to wait till someone develops a custom rom, should not use a custom rom from another phone.

Usinf Advanced Task Killer with Agressive Settings and KILL when screen turns OFF helps enormously with battery-life!

I don't know why do not the mods open up a forum for Samsung Galaxy Ace.
They have forum for phones which have been just announced and not available in the market.
It just doesnt make any sense..

What is the description of the rom and what is the advantage of using it? Can you post some screenshots?

I have Ace rooted with SuperOneClick v1.6.1.
After some time I need to do hard reset. Can I make hard reset with rooted Ace, or I must do unroot before hard reset?

    Hi

    As of now we don't have any separate section for Galaxy Ace
    So I am starting this thread, so All queries/information related to device are consolidated at one place.

    Root
    Rooting Ace is easy. SuperOneCLick v1.6.5 can be used to root device
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682
    Tested by myself, confirmed by few others as well.
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957653

    IMP - As pointed by Many : Please reboot after rooting to complete the process

    Recovery/Download Mode
    Recovery Mode : Home + Power Button
    Download Mode : Home + Vol Dn + Power Button

    Firmwares
    As usual latest firmwares can be downloaded from SamFirmwares
    www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-s5830.htm

    UPDATE : SamFirmware has just posted a Leaked Gingerbread ROM (2.3.3) For the ACE

    Please note that its a leaked ROM so may not be a daily driver for most of you and yes usual disclaimer applies here too

    Okay - I haven't got all that much done since my last update, due to some bad luck and a lack of time.

    I have decided to release it this morning (I'm currently in the US, working), and over the course of the next 7 days, expect to see updates for some of the features I said I'd be working on, along with (hopefully) CWM and a custom kernel which will add all the features your phones are lacking!

    So, in summary, a beta version, which doesn't differ HUGELY from stock, will be released today - definitely.

    guyz any1 working on galaxy ace rom...or kernel..???

    I'm working on a 2.3.3 ROM - which will be released shortly. Once released, I'll be looking at adding 2.3.4 changes (namely Google Talk with video/audio chat).

    I was hoping to release today, but then I encountered the Wifi/SDHC issue. Anyone heard of a fix for that, or at least the cause? Otherwise I will be starting from scratch in locating the issue.

    One thing at a time! :)

    I'm just trying to develop a base I am comfortable with for now. Please don't expect the world from day one. That being said, I will be putting a significant amount of time into this rom over the next few weeks, so it will definitely improve over time.

    I've just wasted the last couple of hours messing around with the ramdisk attempting to implement custom bootanimation functionality. Unfortunately I haven't yet got it working, so I think I'll take the rest of the evening off and pick this up again in the morning!

    Some small ideas of what's been done so far:

    - De-odexed build (improving system space)
    - 2 tweaks which increase free memory
    - Annoying 'OHAI THE BATTERY IS FULL ALERT' removed via smali - no more audio notification or screen on to say OHAI, meaning no more 3am wake ups.
    - Menu key will now unlock phone on lock screen
    - Removed some bloatware

    Now.. I was going to use the STOCK gingerbread launcher, rather than the touchwiz launcher... but I'd like people's opinions on that. I could easily make a batch file which would swap them back to original.

    Tomorrow my initial plans will be:

    - Have another go at implementing custom bootanimation support (had a lot of bad luck with it today)
    - Add 'Reboot to Recovery', 'Reboot to Download Mode' and 'Reboot' to the power menu

    AFTER THE INITIAL RELEASE, I will then start looking into:

    - Custom OC/UV kernel
    - Porting ClockworkMod or creating my own recovery image
    - More significant changes and rom work

    Anyway - again... please don't expect the miracle ROM you've been waiting for since day one. Consider this a stable, solid base for changes to follow! :)

    RE: People asking about TW4... I'm not going to be looking at that for a few days, so I'm not qualified to give you an answer!

    Anyway.. I'll be in here again tomorrow keeping you updated. I expect to have something out by 5pm GMT. :)

    TUTORIAL


    Who wants to change battery icon and status bar layout, there is a great solution...

    Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ ....


    My tutorial is just for GINGERBREAD 2.3.3, so KP8, KP9, KPB and KPE....

    NO ROOT OR DEODEX NEEDED....

    EDIT:
    Thanks to user xdajohn we know, that tutorial works for FROYO too... maybe rename of UOT.zip file to update.zip will be needed....


    1) After you check what you want (don't forget press "Generate Preview") on the tab "FILE UPLOAD" you have to upload "framework-res.apk" and "SystemUI.apk" which you can download here: http://goo.gl/l3NNW

    2) On the tab "SUMMARY" press "SUBMIT WORK TO KITCHEN"

    PS: "Boot animation" is not compatible with HVGA resolution..! Also Emoticons and Glowing...Maybe later...

    3) After that you will get name for .zip file with your customization on the page http://uot.dakra.lt/pickup/
    Generating .zip file can take of 5min to 30min
    example of .zip file name: "UOT-05-13-04-27-1"

    3) after you get .zip file you have to replace in this zip file "update-binary" (use only Winrar ..!) file location is "META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary" you have to download new file here and replace by this file: http://goo.gl/ptMaz

    4) don't rename .zip file and copy it directly to the SD card (not at any folder)..

    5) turn off phone and restart at RECOVERY MODE - middle button OK + turn ON - hold both buttons until you will see SAMSUNG on the display...

    recovery mode:
    14251-DSC_008444.jpg


    6) go to "apply sdcard: update.zip" and find your .zip file on the SD card
    (for navigation use volume buttons and OK button)

    7) after update successes "reboot system now" and thats it...! :)
