Unrootable new update (KTQ) - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys? I think this update can't be rooted with the files we currently have....
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-S5830&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
Latest Spain 2012 KTQ. I used the AceGingerRoot and the Upd_1 file as well. There's no SuperUser installed D:
EDIT: Confirmed. As soon as I switched back to KTM, I was able to root using the upd_1 file.

Is there enough system free space?
If not, delete some apps and try!

Yeah, the rom was freshly installed. I hadn't installed anything else. Just went straight to root and the SU app didn't appear after using both files.

No...Check if there is free space even on a fresh imstallation.
The new rom is heavy. Use root explorer and check!

You need root access only for writing files onto /system and not for reading files!
Do you can use root explorer to check the space left in /system

Lmao awareness of what? And that's a lie. I didn't know it couldn't be rooted. The update file and the ginger root say all GB roms can be rooted.
False Advertising.

[Req] APK's video editor and S-Planner

I think the subject says it all. I am after the apk's for the Video Editor and S-Planner from the International Note.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty please...
Do you still need this? If you go to Criskelo rom page you will find a link to zip of all files(original Samsung apps).

Thanks for the direction but I could not find the Video Editor in the ROM. Its also not in his zip for files he removed.
If you could PM them to me that would be great.

Another WTF WHY moment.. in addition to no Screen Mode - no wonder I was also having a hard time locating the Video Maker..
Anyone with the AT&T version get the Video Maker APK working from an international version?
Can anyone with the international Galaxy Note GT-N7000 backup the APK with file expert etc & upload it to this forum or link it somewhere to see how it runs on the AT&T Galaxy Note I717 .. -Thnx
Ok.Just a moment.I will upload it to dropbox...

So could you or anyone confirm how well it runs on the AT&T Galaxy Note I717 .. -Thnx
I'd decided to wait at least until after MWC next week before deciding on any SGNote-upgrade..otherwise I'd try that "TrimApp.apk" & report back to the forum how well the international Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Video Maker works on the AT&T Galaxy Note I717..
I just saw it... Do you need sPlaner too?
And probably you will need this lib file too for video editor:
http://db.tt/6FYYgUks
Put this file into system/lib/ folder.
EDIT: I REALIZE THAT TRIM.APK ISN'T CORRECT ONE.I WILL POST RIGHT APP...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
There are correct files for Video editor and sPlaner.Sorry for previous mistake.
http://db.tt/MWIa95Ce
It's a 7z file but you can open it with ES File Explorer from market.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Downloaded, unzipped, and installed the Video Maker apk. It doesn't show up in the app tray. Must not be compatible with the OMAP processor. Too bad. I wonder if we'll ever get a version for the AT&T Note.
Did you put a lib file in system/lib too?And you probably need trim.apk also for cuting video files.
I just try to install app on my phone and I can't install it either.You MUST COPY apk into system/apps folder!And for sure put Trim.apk into system/apps/ and lib file into system/lib/ folder. But you need root for this.

Yeah, I'm not rooted and don't plan to. Shame we can't just install the apk.
Eh,sorry for that... :-(
It was strange for me too when I removed app and try to install it. Error: this is a system app,it can't be installed.
Sorry for my language mistakes.
P.S. - You can very easy root your phone,with just one click on PC, install this app and then with one click unroot your phone.I know that it sounds scary but is not.

I'd heard a rumor that this missing Movie Maker app as well as missing screen mode may not run well on the AT&T Galaxy Note I717 graphics hardware hence they were removed but the rumor remains totally uncorroborated..
If it's not a hardware issue, perhaps Samsung is worried about additional legal battles with the litigious Apple if they include this (

Movie Maker app in the US market (like the physical home button issue)?
I'd appreciate a better understanding of the rationale behind all these differences between the SGNote models..hopefully it's not a hardware limitation but until it is actually running on the AT&T Galaxy Note I717 that's a possibility..

[SOLVED]CWM script command to modify lcd density?

I use cm9 with 240 lcd density.
The problem is whenever I flash a nightly, I have to modify density manually.
I want to know if I can create a cwm script which I can always flash with the nightly to modify the density.
Please dont advice to use apps to do it like lcd density modder, etc. I am well aware.
Thanks!

Look into creating a flashable zip file. Also look into adding code to delete old line and insert new line in buildprop.

I think you'll also need to remove/rename BrowserProviderProxy.apk in system/app/

try removing data/app/chrome apk (in case you updated it)
and data/data/com.android.browser.provider
maybe even data/data/com.android.browser although that should get overwritten..
If not can you get me a logcat? it didn't even need a reboot here.

What set of tweaks do you use?

Also links would be great.

Greenify to stop Facebook from draining battery, GoldenKernel for ondemandq governor, SystemUI.apk and some other files from BenzRom V6 for customizable quick toggles, Titanium Backup for removing useless system apps, Xposed Tweakbox for ability to skip tracks with volume rocker when screen is off.
That would be it for now.
Will check out Tasker and Seeder later on.

None , except for tweaked mem-free values, and all damn bloatware removed
