----------------------------------------------------
Pre-Installation Requirements:
1. Backup your data! Use an app like Titanium Backup, My Backup, App Saver, SMS Backup (to save SMS), etc.
2. Disable all lagfixes by going into the Recovery. Disable both normal and /system lagfixes. This is a must for installing PART 1.
Those who are on stock Samsung firmware/have never installed a custom kernel, can skip this step.
Here's a tutorial to disabling lagfix:
Boot into Recovery and then:
For Speedmod kernel, go into ‘advanced Speedmod ULK features’>’LAGFIX options’, then do the following:
1. Select ‘Disable Lagfix: Convert DATA to RFS’.
2. Select ‘Convert SYSTEM to Ext4/RFS’ and then select Yes.
3. Now select ‘Go Back’ twice, and then select ‘Reboot system now’ to reboot your phone.
4. You will then get a screen saying ‘SYSTEM Conversion requested’. Here, select the option ‘RFS: Convert to RFS’.
5. The phone will again reboot after a little while and say ‘New filesystem config detected. Convert?’ Select Yes.
6. Your lagfixes will now be disabled and your phone will reboot.
Instructions
These are divided into two parts:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1 (Flashing the base ROM 9.2):
THIS PART IS OPTIONAL ONLY IF YOU ARE BRAVE ENOUGH Those who just want to install the CWM zip using darky app can skip this part. This part is for people coming from different bases and to prevent issues when flashing from Part2.
1. Again, a reminder. Backup all your stuff before starting.
2. Wipe/Factory Reset phone. This is required. Turn off phone and then boot into Recovery (Vol UP+Vol Down+ Power Button, then release power while still holding the Vol Up + Down after 2 seconds). Select the 'wipe data/factory reset' option (using Power button if on custom ROM/custom kernel). Then select Yes to do it.
DO A MASTER CLEAR IF POSSIBLE!!
3. Now Run ODIN and connect one end of USB to the computer.
4. Turn off your phone by removing the battery and enter the Download mode by pressing the Vol Up + DOWN and inserting the other end of the USB cord. (Will bring up a screen saying 'Downloading'.) ODIN in computer will say 'Added'.
5. Tick the 'Repartition' option, and then select the following files in ODIN (from the folder you extracted the base package in):
PDA: darky_odin.tar.md5
PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. Press the Start button and wait for it to finish. Once it finishes, ODIN will look like this.
Disconnect the phone from the computer after phone reboots.
7. After ODIN completes procedure and the phone reboots, a screen will come on the phone with 'Android system recovery <2e>' written at the top, and the following text will be written at the bottom:
"E:Invalid command argument
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Muti CSC...
Installing Muti CSC"
Don't panic. Remove battery, Reinsert and Power up!!! And then click reboot.
Congratulations, you have the base Darky's ROM 9.2 installed now.
Now for the next PART.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2 (Flashing DARKYY's 9.5 CWM zip)
1. Copy the CWM zip to your internal sd-card.
2. Flash a Captivate Kernel and Modem using the links provided at the end. Plz post if you need help in this step. (Optional)
3. Open the Market, and search for 'darky' and download the DarkyROM Configurator App and install it.
4. After it is installed, open Darky ROM from the App Menu. Select all the options that you want to install, and deselect the ones you don't want.
SELECT WIPE!!!. This does not wipe your internal SD.
Use Skip Modem and Skip Kernel to use existing modem and kernel. For any other option selected, JQ1 Modem and Speedmod K13D Kernel will be installed.
Do not choose Lockscreen Wallpaper as this may lead to battery drain.
5. After selecting and deselecting the options according to your needs, Press Menu -> Select Zip and FlashReboot.
6. Select Darkys_v9.5_Cappy.zip from your internal sdcard (wherever you have saved it)!!
7. Once the phone boots, you will have everything that you selected in the DarkyROM Configurator. The initial boot time will take some time. This is completely normal (it will show the boot animation). Plz wait for it to complete.
8. That's it. The procedure is complete.
Enjoy the ROM!
PS: Any help needed with installation, using this guide, or using Odin or ADB, please post in forum!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGING AT&T BOOT LOGO!!!! (INITIAL STATIC SCREEN)
This replaces the AT&T boot logo static that is displayed with a customized logo. Do this if you do Part 1. Not tested without Part 1.
Download the attachment file logo_ATNT.jpg This is what your AT&T boot logo is gonna be.. You can edit this, add your own.. But make sure that the name stays the same.
Using ADB tools from PC,
1. Put your logo_ATNT.jpg in the folder where adb.exe exists.
2. In command prompt, adb devices to make sure your phone is connected.
3. adb push logo_ATNT.jpg /mnt/.lfs
4. adb reboot
AND THAT'S IT!! You'll now have your own customized AT&T logo on your phone!!!

ARABIC PATCH - v9.3 and above (Not tested by me)
Full credits go to madmack for this Arabic Patch.
Download [CWM zip Package] http://www.multiupload.com/3WIRIBARMZ
Steps to apply the patch:
Download the patch and extract it to a folder on your computer.
Pull /system/framework/framework.jar from your phone and place it in the subfolder framework that you extracted in step 1
Double click on commands.exe. Do not close the black cmd screens that will pop up. Once the patch is done, you should get a patched framework.jar in the subfolder generated
Verify that the generated framework.jar is bigger than the original framework.jar that you pulled from your device. It should be about 1MB larger.
Place the generated framework.jar in your phone in /system/framework and reboot.
Aljazeera fonts also included in subfolder fonts. You can place these in /system/fonts and reboot
Sometimes permissions and xml data doesn’t get updated correctly resulting in corrupted data entries. If you receive a bunch of Force Closes after a reboot, you’ll need to Factory Reset.

Excellent work. Where can I download that version of Odin because my version looks nothing like that.

Cool cool. Glad to see another JS3 ROM for Captivate

Can we get some screen shots? I know this rom has been around, never really looked into it

Edit:nvm

Oh wow, nice! Finally

Yeah, I kind of stopped posting about the Darky rom... Oh well. I'm working on two different things right now, one of which might cause thermonuclear war, fry your sd card, and get you fired because your alarm didn't turn on on time.

//Sr for my bad English!

noob question:
"3. Now, turn off your phone by removing the battery and enter the Download mode by pressing the Vol DOWN+Home Key+the Power Button together. (Will bring up a screen saying 'Downloading'.)"

I just flashed this and it's working great, I love it!
Only one little detail that I'm pretty sure you know about.
When you boot, a screen with random dots pops up for a couple seconds before the bootscreen shows up.
Nothing really major, but just making sure you know about it..
Thanks for the awesome ROM!

[ROM] VillainROM 1.0 for the Samsung Galaxy Ace (2.3.3/lightweight)

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.

[Important] If you flash this firmware over a custom ROM or a Galaxy S3 from another country than Poland, you might need to wipe the data on the phone to make the firmware boot up properly <<< (i did not wipe my data and it flashed perfectly
To be sure you do not lose any data, backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you. The SD card contents are always safe, so there is no need to back up those. Only backup apps and personal data.
NOTE: Don’t forget to at least note down your network’s APN settings, which are required to make mobile data work. Go into Settings » More » Mobile Networks, click on the APN that is in use, then note down the setting for each field. While APN settings should be automatically restored from network, you can enter them manually if needed to make mobile data work. You can also find your APN details → here.
Download and install the software Kies on your computer, which will install the necessary drivers for the phone.
Download Kies
You can also download the drivers directly — download from here: 32 bit (x86) Windows | 64-bit (x64) Windows
Download the firmware.
Download XXDLIB | Alternate Link | Filename: GT-I9300_XEO_1_20120922093900_w8pdod73hi.zip
Extract the GT-I9300_XEO_1_20120922093900_w8pdod73hi.zip file on the computer to obtain a file named I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar.md5 (ignore the file named SS_DL.dll).
Download the Odin PC software. If you are new to this, Odin is what is used to flash stuff – firmware, kernels, etc. – on Samsung phones. We’ll use Odin to flash the firmware file obtained in step 4.
Download Odin3 v3.04 | Filename: Odin3_v3.04.zip
Extract the contents of the Odin3_v3.04.zip file to a folder on your computer.
Now, turn off your Galaxy S3 and wait for it to shut down completely.
Then, put the phone into download mode. To do so, press and hold these keys together: Volume Down + Home + Power till the screen turns on. Then press Volume Up to enter download mode.
Open Odin by double-clicking on the Odin3 v3.04.exe file obtained in step 6 after extracting Odin3_v3.04.zip.
Important! Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added !!” under Odin’s message box in the bottom left.
If you don’t get this message, make sure you installed drivers correctly (using Kies or directly) as given in step 2. If it still doesn’t work, try changing to another USB port on the computer and also use the USB ports on the back if you have a desktop PC.
Click on the PDA button in Odin, then browse to and select the I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar.md5 file obtained in step 4 above.
Important! Do not make any other changes in Odin !!!. Leave all other options as they are. Make sure Re-Partition check box is not selected.
Now, click the Start button to start flashing the firmware on your phone. When the flashing is complete and is successful, you’ll get a PASS message (with green background) in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin, and the phone will automatically reboot. When you see the Samsung logo, you can safely unplug the cable.
IF you have any questions or you get stuck let me know

Installation Instructions :
- Download Odin 3.12.3 or higher
- First you need to Flash Bootloader and Modem for PH6. If you already having a ROM running on PH6/7 then skip this step.
In case you are on Old version, Download N930FD_PH6_Bootloader and Modem zip, extract it and Flash BL*.tar.md5 file with Ap tab and Phone*.tar.md5 file with Phone tab of odin. This file is for N930FD and in case you have different variant, kindly update your base first with OTA/Full ROM flashing.
- Next you required id TWRP recovery. If you already have one then skip this, otherwise download twrp-3.0.2-0-gracelte.img.tar and flash using Odin. In case Odin Fail during flash, reboot to recovery - wipe cache and try again. Here is original thread for TWRP support.
- Once you have TWRP Installed Download ROM and copy on SD card or USB OTG device.
- Reboot to recovery (TWRP) - I recommend clean install. Select to format device.
- Select to Install - select storage (Where you copied ROM zip) - navigate ROM zip and select it.
- It may take few minutes to finish
- Reboot and again wait for few minutes till android wizard starts
