VillainROM 1.0 for the Samsung Galaxy Ace
As I have mentioned previously, this isn’t the magical custom ROM you have all been waiting for, YET. It’s a base that I have created in order for me to work on over the next few days/weeks/months. As I have said a few times now, don’t expect it to be HUGELY different to stock KPE at this stage.
- Based on Samsung’s XXPE Gingerbread build
- Pre-rooted with Superuser installed
- De-odexed (improving free space on /system)
- All APKs PNG optimized and zip-aligned
- A few minor tweaks which should improve free memory – please let me know
- Full battery alert removed (no more 3am wake ups!)
- Added GenieWidget (News and Weather)
- Added Gallery3D
- Added Stock Gingerbread Launcher and REMOVED TouchWizLauncher.apk
- Menu key will now unlock the phone on the lock screen
- SOME bloatware removed
- Huge APN list
- Annoying boot sound removed
- Light weight – stripped down the build a bit without losing functionality
See.. as I said, it’s lightweight and just a base at this stage. My work will continue over the next couple of weeks, so expect to see (COMING SOON):
- Custom OC/UV kernel
- ClockWorkMod Recovery
- Add advanced power menu options (Reboot, Recovery, Download and Wipe Data (+ confirmation)
- 2.3.4 additions
Please use this thread for any requests you may have regarding this ROM in the following thread. Please don’t spam it, this is purely for requests only. I will look into each request and let you know if/when it will be implemented.
Instructions:
RECOMMENDED BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Perform a full wipe of data/cache. Dial *#*#7780#*#* from your current ROM, and this will wipe data and perform a factory reset.
1. Download the zip file from the bottom of this thread and extract it
2. Boot your phone into download mode, and connect it to the PC
3. Open ODIN – you should see a COM port in yellow.
4. Click Ops and select Cooper
5. Click Boot and select APB_Bootxxxx.tar (not necessary if coming from KPE)
6. Click Phone and select Modem_xxxxx.tar (not necessary if coming from KPE)
7. Click PDA and select AceVR.tar.md5
IGNORE THE 2 POP-UP ERROR MESSAGES ABOUT INVALID BINARY – THIS IS NORMAL.
8. Once complete, the phone will reboot.
Now, please post any opinions, comments or feedback in this thread, and any requests here.

KNOWN BUGS:
- Wifi still has issues with some SD cards
CSC file will be uploaded to thread on VillainROM.co.uk if you need that (ie - coming from old firmware version)
1. Thank you! I guess I'm gonna give this a try tomorrow.
2. Did you build in Darktremor a2sd?
3. What are the Wifi/SD card issues?
this is awesome! Good job!

1. You're welcome
2. No I didn't but if you could link the post for me I will happily include it as an option
3. Wifi driver stops responding with certain SD cards - it doesn't seem to affect me with most of my SD cards, but I don't use this phone as a daily - I work full time in Android and have access to most android phones. I just felt sorry for you guys having no ROM and support whatsoever.
There's also quite a lot of you that own the phone, so it's crazy that not many have picked it up yet from a development perspective.
Anyway, I'll try to get you to a level that you're happy with (custom kernels, CWM, and a rom or two), then I'll move along.
Hopefully, by then, many of you guys will start experimenting with ROMs yourself. It becomes a lot easier when you've got a custom recovery image in place!
The link to Darktremor's apps2sd is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715116.
I definitely want to start trying to play about with custom ROMs but I'm totally new to Android. So far I've managed to unpack and repack the boot.img in order to modify init.rc but I haven't built anything as such. I'd love to get involved in trying to port CWM to the SGA but I don't know where to start. Happy to help though if I can.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Thank u very much!
I'll try the rom soon too.
works beautifully ...thanks! I have posted my requests at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/4646-ROM-VillainROM-1.0-REQUESTS-THREAD

CM11.0 for Canadian Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** Disclamer ***[/SIZE][/B]
THIS ROM IS FOR THE CANADIAN SGH-I757M ONLY... DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANOTHER DEVICE!
By flashing this ROM, you are voiding your phones warranty (Unless you return it
to complete stock which is possible, but beyond the scope of this thread). You
also agree that I will in no way be held responsible in the event that your
device becomes bricked (Not likely to happen). In addition, you are responsible
to take the necessary backups of your apps, data, sms, contacts, calendar events, etc.
If you agree, then please continue on ;)[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RECOVERY REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
Due to the addition of user control in CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11.0, you are required to update
your recovery to a supported recovery with a version greater than 6.0.39. As of this writing, the latest available
version is Philz Touch Recovery 6.57.9 (based on CWM 6.0.51) for the SGH-I757M. There is currently not a
version of regular CWM for this device that will flash Kit Kat ROMs.
If you flash the new ROM with the old incompatible recovery, you risk loosing
your sdcard under a bunch of subfolders.[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RADIO FIRMWARE REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
As of CM10.1, ICS radios (I757MUGLH2) are no longer supported. You must download the new JB radios (I757MUGMC5).[/COLOR]
Introduction
It's finally here :-D CM11.0 (Android4.4.x) for the Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M). There is a lot to be said about Kit Kat with it's clean white icons and new launcher. The focus with Kit Kat was to make the device use less RAM and imrove performance, and so far it's running great.

What Doesn't Work
* I experienced an incompatibility with some of my existing mp4 media files and when gallery tries to load them they cause a soft reboot. Loading these videos into the gallery media player using a 3rd party file manager seems to work without issue, it is the loading of the preview in gallery that causes the phone to crash.
Solution: The solution is to use a file manager to move the mp4 files to a new directory and add a ".nomedia" file to that directory so that when browsing photos in the gallery, it does not try to load the offending mp4 files.

Pre-Installation instructions
1) Download to your sdcard, the new Philz Touch Recovery 6.57.9 flashable zip which is compatible with CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11.0
2) Enter your existing CWM Recovery
3) Install Zip From sdcard
4) Select the philz_touch_6.12.8-celoxhd.zip that you downloaded to your sdcard
5) Flash the new Recovery
6) Go back to the main recovery menu and go Advanced -> Reboot Recovery (This might not actually reboot you into recovery, you may have to do that manually by turning off phone and using 3-button combo)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now that you have the new recovery flashed to your device, you can continue to install this ROM.
Please be aware that the new recovery detects your sdcards (internal/external) in a different way. Your internal sdcard is recognized as /storage/sdcard0 and your external sdcard is recognized as /storage/sdcard1.
Installation instructions
1) Download the Rom and Gapps (Use only the Gapps downloded from this thread. It is customized due to our small cache partition)
2) Enter CWM
3) TAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
4) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5) Format Cache
6) Advanced -> Format Dalvik Cache
7) Mounts and Storage -> Format /data,/cache and /system (Required for a clean flash)

Changelog
Code:
[B]November 22, 2014 - Build 20141122[/B]
* Increased kernel version to Titanium 1.1.1
* Added cpu input boost framework - credit: sultanxda
* Added cpu OC (The scale goes up to 1890MHz, but you should only put it as high as 1836MHz since I was getting random reboots with 1890MHz. 1674MHz is the default OC and 1512MHz is the default CM OC) - credit: TeamFahQ/sultanxda/titanic-fanatic
* Added low power flash mode which will use a low powered flash when the battery is equal to or below 35%. This should help with the camera causing the phone to shut down when trying to take pictures using the flash. This threshold may need to be tweaked, so please let me know if you still experience shut downs related to using the camera. - credit: sultanxda
* Added sgs2hdbell as a device name to the updater-script to allow all bell i757m devices to flash the ROM without the need to edit the updater-script.
* Added panel undervolt interface. - credit: sultanxda
* More memory optimizations. Some of the extra RAM that the previous optimization gave us has been allocated to other things such as the surface flinger. Available RAM is now around ~760MB.
* Removed vbus_present wakelock for good (it worked it's way back in somehow)
* Added fast charge. Phone will now charge at 1200mA until 95% regardless of your charging source (AC/USB)
* Added exFAT driver to kernel. It's a filesystem like ext4 but is based on Windows FAT filesystem. You can format your sdcard as exFAT as it's supposed to be faster than vFAT which is what our sdcards are formatted as. Make sure you backup your sdcard contents before formatting it as exFAT and keep the backup until your sure you want to stick with exFAT.
* Removed NFC since I don't think anyone uses it and can't figure out how to have it disabled by default so it is removed completely. If someone is using NFC, let me know and I'll add it back but for now, I just see it as a battery drain.
[B]September 10, 2014 - Build 20140910[/B]
* Kernel now has a custom version number in addition to my kernel name of Titanium
* Optimized kernel memory mapping to increase our physical RAM from ~730MB to ~800MB (a whole 70 extra MB... whoa!)- credit: sultanxda
* Removed mDNIe (it's not supported/working)
* Removed 91fixoverlays script (no longer needed)
* Removed persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enabled from build.prop (hack to fix the hwoverlays because fb drivers are broken somehow) - credit: sultanxda
* Added GPU overclock from 266MHz to 320MHz (helps a lot with the UI lag) - credit: sultanxda
* Added code for 2 phase OnDemand governor - credit: sultanxda
* Added opensource frandom module to help speed up the UI (also helps with the lag) - credit: bryan2894
* Added mdp Color Enhancements (better display color) - credit: sultanxda
* Added color/gamma controls in place of mDNIe (see the tips and tricks section for my already tweaked favorite settings) - credit: bryan2894/titanic_fanatic (I had to integrate it into our display drivers)
* Added Swipe 2 Wake (S2W) support in the kernel (it's actually tap once on each key from left to right). - credit: bryan2894
* Added audio.r_submix.default.so to the build to enable screencasting - credit: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193"]THIS POST[/URL]
* Added the necessary audio channels in the audio_policy.conf for screencasting - credit: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193"]THIS POST[/URL]
* Added the necessary settings in Advanced Device Settings for screencasting and color/gamma control - credit: bryan2894/titanic_fanatic (I added the screencasting settings)
* Fixed the annoying BLN sticking (I think... Please confirm this for me) - credit: bryan2894
* Fixed the sampling rates for A2DP, input and r_submix channels - credit: bryan2894
* Changed both scaling governors to OnDemand - credit: bryan2894

FAQ
Q. How do I install SuperSu?
A. Install the latest version from the market. Then open SuperSU and when it asks you to update the superuser binary, answer yes and make sure you select the "TWRP/CWM" method. This will reboot your phone into receovery where the superuser binary will be updated and the su daemon script added. Reboot your phone and you should be rooted.
If your having difficulties getting SuperSu installed, try downloading the flashable zip and manually flashing it to your phone.
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
* Thanks to @formercontra for this tip *
* Make sure this is the way in which you want to manage superuser permissions as I have not yet found a way to revert to the integrated superuser without having to re-flash the rom
Q. How do I access Developer Options?
A. Go to Settings -> About Phone and scroll to the bottom. Press the Build number 7 times to activate the Developer Options.
Q. I was browsing my pictures/videos in the gallery and my phone rebooted?
A. This seems to be caused by the gallery trying to generate a preview from the first frame of an mp4 created on older versions. Simply move the mp4's to a different directory with a file manager and add a ".nomedia" file to the folder to stop the gallery from trying to scan them. To open them, open with a filemanager and then select the gallery media player and it will play without issue.

Here are my settings for the color/gamma controls!
Color:
Red -> 60%
Green -> 45%
Blue -> 45%
Gamma:
Red -> 0
Green -> -5
Blue -> 5
Why does the color/gamma controls get set to a value other than what I've set?
This is something I have not yet resolved, but I have noticed that it seems to jump up by 5. So if you want 50% for example, try setting it to 45%.
Logcat what is it and how do I get one?
A logcat is the system log of events that occur on your device. This log provides the developers with some useful information pertaining to crashes and other bugs you may encounter while using the ROM and/or apps running on the ROM. Getting a logcat is generally a very simple thing. Just open your terminal emulator on your phone and type the following commands without typing the $ as it denotes a command on the command line:
$ su
$ logcat -v long > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command above will ask you to grant superuser permission to the terminal emulator which you must accept. The second command will create a file at the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt and then start writing the logs to this file. Since the logcat is a continuous function, your terminal emulator will not return you to the command prompt after the second command as it will continue to write logs until you stop it by pressing the x to close the emulator.
If you are experiencing an issue with an app, then you need to do the steps above to get the logcat recording, then press your home button so that you don't close the emulator, but put it in the background. Then you do the action that causes the bug to occur and then open the emulator and terminate it to stop the log from writing. this ensures that the error is located somewhere around the end of the log and makes it easier for us to spot
How do I take a dmesg (kernel log)?
It's fairly simple, open up your terminal then type the following:
$ su
$ dmesg > /storage/sdcard0/dmesg.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will save the log to the root of your sdcard as dmesg.txt. Just post that or send it to [email protected] if it's to large to post here
What is dalvik-cache and why do I need it?
To explain dalvik cache, you must understand how an app is pieced together. An apk (android app) is like a zip file and contains a bunch of files inside. Two important files to note are the resources.arsc and the classes.dex files. They are compiled versions of the resources (images, sounds, xml files) and classes (source code files) of the app. When android boots into a ROM for the first time, and everytime you install an app, the system performs an optimization called dex optimization which means that is pulls the dex file out of the app and places it into what is called your dalvik cache. The system can then pre-load these dex files and allow the app to start quickly.
Dalvik cache is stored in two locations, at /data/dalvik-cache for user apps and at /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps. We unfortunately have a very small partition for /cache, only 100MB and this sometimes causes a side effect on first boot where it fills up to much with apps that only ever run on the first boot to setup the system and then other dex files cannot be written to the /cache partition which causes them to Force Close (FC). The trick in this situation, is to bear through the FC messages to get the system to the home screen, then reboot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache from the Advanced sub-menu. This will delete all the dex files in both locations I mentioned above and will force the system to regenerate them upon reboot, and this time, those 1-time running apps don't start up and don't end up being optimized which allows the necessary dex files to be created for the apps that were FC'ing.
I have moved what I could from the system partition to the data partition to spare some extra space on /cache but this still sometimes happens, especially as the ROM's get slightly bigger every new major version.
Flashing Recovery for the First Time
Flashing CWM for the First Time
This is a pretty simple step once you get past the install recovery script which I'll explain how to accomplish. Make sure you follow the instructions closely because Odin, the program the we use to bypass the security, can do some serious damage to your phone if your not careful.
1) Download the latest CWM tar.md5 to your computer from my androidfilehost.com repo here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=12461
2) Download Odin 1.8.5 zip and extract all the files to a folder on your computer (i use my desktop):
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358544719
3) The drivers are very touchy on windows computers, so I recommend that you install Samsung Kies which will ensure that the drivers are installed and setup correctly. You can download kies from here:
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
4) Be careful now that you have kies installed, it does not play nicely with Odin, so whenever you use Odin, you should ensure that kies is completely closed and not open in the system tray by opening your Task Manager and "End Task" to any kies process such as "Kies.exe" and "KiesTrayAgent.exe"
5) Now, with kies closed, open Odin and do not change any settings. It should look like this:
6) Now click on the Bootloader button and search for the CWM tar.md5 you downloaded from my androidfilehost.
7) Now turn off your phone, and when it's powered off, press and hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until you see the warning message about Download mode. Press volume up to enter download mode.
8) With Kies closed on your computer and Odin open cwm tar.md5 loaded into the bootloader section and your phone in Download mode, plug your phone into the computer with your micro usb cord and wait for odin to display a "Device Added" message which tells you that odin sees your phone.
9) This is the tricky part and is all based on timing, so pay close attention.
10) You will now press the "Start" button in odin and wait for it to complete. It will display a green "Pass" message in the first box when it's done. At this time, the phone will reboot and will start with a slight vibration to notify you that it's booting up. It's exactly at the time that the phone vibrates that you need to immediately remove the micro usb cord and press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously until cwm loads. If you miss this mark, android will boot, the install_recovery.sh script will run and overwrite the cwm you just flashed with the old stock 3e recovery (arghhh) and you will have to go through this process again.
If CWM complains about the install_recovery script, let it fix/remove it.
Once you have CWM flashed, you can use it to backup/restore your system, flash custom ROMs and you can even flash our CWM upgrades through CWM itself.
First Wood Woot !! And many thankyous.
Update-
This Rom is flawless so far. I have no issues that existed for me in CM10.2JB . Status Bar doesn't freeze. Apps aren't killed mid use. Calender sync was fixed by installing Google calendar from play store and then removing it. (I use Cal app). There's almost no lag in multi tasking. I'm very happy.?? kit Kat!
Let's all hit TFs donate button with a few bucks, eh?
Much appreciated. Downloading now.
Sweet, a thread here instead of g+!

For me the gallery issue was gone after switched to the next branch.
Crossbreeder won't install (it did on the earlier 4.4 builds).. but Adaway works just fine and everything's working smoothly. Love the music in the lockscreen! also noticed there's even more governor parameters to tweak, which is always a good thing

That's due to the new recovery. If your on a Windows system, download 7zip if you don't have it already.
Here's what you do, open this roms zip file and extract only the update-binary from META-INF/com/google/android to a location on your computer. Then you can close the ROM zip. Now open the crossbreeder zip with 7zip and browse to META-INF/com/google/android and simply drag the extracted update-binary into the crossbreeder zip file replacing it's update-binary with the one from cm-11. Then close the zip and upload to your phone and flash away

After running ROM for a few hours, I'm quite impressed. No issues so far. I will continue using it and report any findings. Thanks titanic for all your time and effort.

Phone won't boot
I flashed the rom and the gapps but I get no boot screen. I waited about five minutes and nothing happened. Any ideas on what went wrong??
Amazing
It's is so smooth, I am ecstatic to see how it'll be when ART becomes functional!
Thanks again!

Did you wipe and factory reset? Did you use the wipe to install new rom option?
This ROM must be flashed clean. No dirty flashing unless you already had cm-11 flashed.

I am curious, in your 10.2 thread you said the calendar could not be assigned a gmail account in cm 11.
Was this resolved? For me it's a deal breaker (loving your cm10.2 anyways).
If it hasn't been fixed could we add it to the OP in the what doesn't work section?

Philz touch cwm was just updated and now uses a new exfat module for mounting the sdcards. It's supposed to be faster than the fuse alternative. This version also fixes the resolution of the background image, the software buttons and the vibration.

The calendar works in slim. I think the calendar sync adapter is missing in cm-11. Can I get someone to add this apk to your /system/app dir give it the same permissions as the others, then reboot and try connecting the calendar to your Google account. I'm out of the house right now so can't test it myself.

Okay, thanks ?. Have flashed and is working well
I tried it and it works except for the vendor prebuilts e.g Aroma file manager. They all say "file doesn't exist, please reflash recovery", which doesn't fix it. I also tried compiling it myself, still the same error. Unpacked recovery image shows the files are included. So I have no clue what's causing it. Any one else have this problem?

We should appriciate every developers contribution. No one is paying anyone to do this. Devs invest their time in bringing this changes. So every effort should be welcome by the community.
Nothing can be 100% bug free infact many of your mods that you bring to the community is making our device better. Everyone should appriciate and help others learn and grow if they are into this.
As for rest of us we are enjoying the free ride and should appriciate the effort.

No matter what you are trying to do in here, they do what they want - they never change their mind for this. Almost everyone knows - Few Devs updated the rom and new o roms, but only the devs are using it, and its kept private - Great contribution. I don't want to get involved in here again and again...

"Recovery won't allow you to to do this action until the pirating application called 'Lucky Patcher' is uninstalled from your device!"
I wiped System/Data and cant install anything. Perfect.

By default the devs seem to be anti-piracy so put in some silly checks to see if you have any piracy apps installed, you can remove this nonsense and build it yourself by patching the relevant parts here: https://github.com/RedWolfRecovery/...a1d52468afe11f6d0ea63a461e/twrp-functions.cpp
Thanks for the tip. Howewer, you could make patch/diff file and add some info how you compiled it.
BTW check starts in line 1691 in mentioned file.
AFAIK, there are two functions to delete:
bool TWFunc::User_IS_Pirate_****(void)
bool TWFunc::Get_Pirate_Variable(void)
Thanks.

It is worse than that. If you have ever had any apps that they think are piracy apps installed, then you will left with a crippled phone - unless you "format data" (and lose all the contents of your internal SD).

Looks good! Password protection is a feature I've wanted for a long time. It's a shame twrp themes aren't compatible, though
After installing this recovery on device with rr6, when trying reboot to recovery, it's showing start screen (with logo) and reboots to system.

I have the same problem. I also have the RR 6, and when trying to restart in Recovery, the Red Wolf appears but only briefly, and restarts the system. Says installation using the application Official TWRP. I do not know how to install otherwise because I do not know which option to choose when installing the image.Thank you very much for your work, I have long wanted to put a password on TWRP.

No more splash screen. Black screen. No boot to recovery. You're using 3.2.1.0? If yes, it's will not work properly. Only 3.2.1.1 working properly with latest 8.1 ROMs.

New build is booting but not working correctly.
If I boot to recovery (power and vol+) the recovery is loading, but the touch is not working at all.
If I then reboot to recovery again (with power and vol+) the touch is working.
No idea why it is not working on first try. But I have tried a couple of times so it seems to be not a one time issue.
If you need further information feel free to ask

Same thing with me! Just load the Wolf network image and reboot the system. I really liked it, but it's a pity I can not use it yet.

Basically, It MUST work as I used TWRP official trees. But It seems like there's something wrong.
So, this project is ABANDONED now.
