thanks alot. btw, is it possible to go back to stock from custom rom (ie cm10.1) using single firmware.
coz, i need to flash multipack fw first (from cusrom) before flashing lastest stock, on mini.

Be careful the rom I posted was for Galaxy Ace!!!
Yes, It's possible, I don't know in mini ... this is the GT-S5830 Q&A THREAD so...
but the fastest way to go back to stock is doing a backup before to use the custom, and then restoring it when you want to go back via custom RECOVERY, or FALSHING A FRESH STOCK ROM VIA ODIN ;)
...and in Galaxy Ace it's possible to use directly the lastest firmware, "one package fw" ;)

well, the best way to avoid all kind of troubles is flashing a fresh stock via Odin ;)

I'm using a bareboned stock rom, I deleted all useless apps etc and I chaged the kernel and stock partitions from .rfs to .ext4, so I have a clean backup ready to restore in my SDCARD, so I can flash whatever I want, and then when I get tired I can always return to my clean previous rom ;) and I don't need to use Odin :)

am a noob so...

1. change the kernel? even for lastest fw?
2. how to change the.rfs partition?
well... you can change the kernel, deodex your rom, change .rfs partition format to .ext4 format and add more tweaks, barebone your rom... (not for a noob way) or the easiest way!! you can flash a based stock rom with ALL this changes done e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534804 ;)

I need to know which apps are included in /system. The problem is that there isn't enough free space in /system in this rom so we could use a script to delete whatever app in this partition that allow us to push su.apk and the binaries :)

i read those threads.
so all i need to do is changing the updater-script, and delete unuseful system apps, right?

you can try mounting manually /system :) and then doing the backup ;)

go to mount and system >>> mount /system >>> back >>> backup and restore >>> backup ;)

already tried to mount /system manually but no luck: "error mounting the system".
what i have to do?
mm I guess what is your problem :)

maybe .rfs format , so try to convert your partitions to .ext4 partition, It would solve your problem ;)

use CF-Root-S5830_ext4-v1.3u3.apk to convert .rfs to .ext4 format ;)

cf-root b84 work fine ;)

Well you need a custom kernel to get an init.d folder or create it on yourself but the easy way, flash cf-root b84, BE 1.5.1. or whatever kernel you want, and you'll get an init.d folder support, so you'll be able to flash the int2ext script without any kind of problem ;)

i believe you are, how bout removing a2sd i've mentioned before...

Install a Terminal Emulator app and type this code
Code:
su
a2sd remove
But it is not compulsory to install int2ext script, at least if you didn't flash darktremor script to activate app2sd ;)
