Install CyanogenMod7 CM7 on Galaxy Ace S5830

CyanogenMod is Custom firmware which gives you more flexibility and options to tweak your Android Smartphone. CyanogenMod is officially not available for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830, but thanks to our developer community for making a port of CyanogenMod on to Galaxy Ace. Recently we have discussed about CyanogenMod9 CM9 Android 4.0 ICS ROM for Galaxy Ace, but that has some bugs and definitely not a daily driver as of now. But you have an option of Android 2.3 based gingerbread CyanogenMod7 ROM on you Ace. Read on for details.
This article was previously published on DialAndroid last year but due to high amount of comments it has became difficult to answer. So we are moving it to new website to serve your better.
