- When you enter the Recovery Mode, go to “wipe data factory reset” option and select “Yes”.
- Then to “wipe cache partition” and confirm by selecting “Yes”.
- Then come back to the main menu and select “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard”. Now browse to the ROM file and select it.
- This will start the installation process and will take a few minutes to complete.
- When it is done, go back to the main menu again and select “reboot system now”.
- It might take a few minutes before your device reboots. Just wait patiently.
The iOS 5 Style ROM should now be installed on your Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830. Cheers!!!
How to Install GApps:
The iOS ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Ace is one of those ROMs that do not come with pre-installed Google Apps. So you will have to flash them separately if you want to use Gmail, Google Search, Maps, Navigation, PlayStore, etc on your device. This is how you can download Google Apps on your Galaxy Ace.
- Download Gapps-mdpi-20110501-signed.zip (do not extract) and copy it to the root of your device’s SD Card.
- Boot your device into CWM Recovery mode as described above.
- Select “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard” option and locate the GApps.zip file that you copied in Step 1.
- Confirm your choice by selecting “yes”. It will be installed on your device in a few seconds.
- When it is finished, go back to the main menu and select “reboot system now”. Done!

Change the Device Language from Chinese to English:
The ROM supports only Chinese and English languages. The iPhone style ROM for the Galaxy Ace has been made by a group of Chinese developers. So the default language of the ROM is Chinese. However, you can easily change the language to English. The first boot after flashing the ROM will be in Chinese. To switch to English, do this:
- Open device settings
- You will see an icon called “A.I”.
- Tap it and select the first option and choose English.
- Reboot the device and done!

Was your phone in CWM or Android System Recovery? Did you back up your previous ROM your device installing this rom?
have gone into Android system recovery and i haven’t backed up
Any custom ROM is installed via CWM Recovery, not Android recovery. You did not read the tutorial carefully and messed with your phone.
Anyways, now you should read and follow this guide to recover your phone:

How to Install this on Galaxy y?
Why are the file sizes and names different for each of the download links. Please let me know which one is the latest and most stable out of the 3 links. Please reply.
Download this one:
IOS 5 Black – SGA.zip (Latest ROM) Mirror Link
Since the original ROM has been made by a Chinese Developer Team, the names differ due to translation issues.
does the wifi and camera works?…
The only not working apps are Browser and Music. You can install Opera and any music player app for that. Else everything is fine.
the camera setting is not working if I set in english language
but in Chinese language is working…
how it can be like that?…
sorry if my english is poor…
Did you install the latest ROM- “IOS 5 Black – SGA.zip”?
