Jellybean 4.2.2 Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830

Over a month ago on Techzei’s Youtube Channel a video of Samung Galaxy Ace running Jellybean 4.2.2 Custom ROM (AOKP cooper build) was posted and lot of viewers request for the tutorial, So here is how to get Jellybean 4.2.2 running on your Galaxy Ace GT-S5830.

I’ve been using this ROM even before it’s nightly release and it worked just fine.The ROM does not have any major bugs and the nightly release is just as good as final release. The ROM has a decent Overclock kernel and the phone stable even when overclocked to about 979Mhz. The battery drain when set at a stock Cpu speed is very minimal. To finish it short, this certainly is the smoothest Jellybean ROM.

> Download

Instructions :

  • Download the ROM and copy it to the SDcard
  • Boot to recovery mode
  • Wipe data
  • Wipe cache
  • Wipe dalvik
  • Install zip from SDcard(the one that was downloaded and copied)
  • Reboot your device
  • After the setup wizard press home key

      What is that supposed to mean ? This ROM is for flashing from your recovery mode on a Galaxy Ace device.

      Kindly verify if the file you downloaded has been completed successfully. Do a md5 check.

    thanks ..already install .how to improve lagging with this rom?

      Try replacing the launcher to “Holo Launcher” it consumes less ram.
      Use root explorer to get rid of unwanted system apps.
      Overclock the kernel (balance between performance & battery)
      Finally, use “seeder” made by entropy which can be found on xda.
      Keeping in mind the RAM available on ace, nothing much can be done.

      Goto Settings > Performance Control and change your CPU clock speed.

      hi unfortunetly , the author forget to tell us that we need clockworkmod to get this update done so here are the step.
      1. download http://getwapi.com/down/view/zip/ouqZM7SO/CWM_Recovery_v5026.html
      2. put that file into your sd card then switch off your phone and get into recovery mode ( power button + home button)
      3. Install the file ( clock work mod )
      4. reboot your phone and then go to recovery mode , now install the Jellybean 4.2.2 Custom ROM using clockworkmod ! you are done 🙂

      1. Jash Jacob

        It was rather assumed you already have CWM installed. 🙂

      It is assumed you have a rooted phone with a recovery pre-installed.

    I installed it, but when i boot the phone it just shows a unicorn ad says “INITIATING SWAGGER”, is this some sort of a joke -_- .

    Thanks for the ROM, i installed it and it’s really good, but i have one problem, some times the phone reboots by it self, it happens randomly and it’s really frustrating, how do i fix it?

    Reply
    1. Jash Jacob

      Check your overclock settings and tone it down to a lower clock frequency.

    Ay, pretty sure I did everything correctly and been stuck at “Initiating Swagger” for ages. Used CWM6 to flash. File was not corrupted (did MD5 check). Everything was done exactly as specified. Any ideas?

      Next time just wipe everything from the recovery and flash again!

    Its me again, I re-did all the steps and installed it again, then tried to boot 2-3 times in a row until it finally worked. I’ll come back here and complain if it stops working
