Help CM 10.2 for Galaxy Ace GT-S5830?

If you have followed the installation instructions then there should not be any problem in running the rom. I use CM10.2, no problem whatsoever.
What are the steps you followed to install that rom? Did you do any further modifications to the rom?
As for the contacts, that depends on how you backed them up, if you did a google sync then you need to sync them back, if you used any app then use the app to restore them.
As for the play store, just like any other CM rom there are no google apps present in the rom so you need to flash them separately.

Hello again ayush! It has been a while! What I did:
copied the ROM onto my SD card
powered off phone
booted into CWM recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
install zip from sd card
reboot
Is that correct?
You missed the most important step, no wonder your rom is unstable.
You need to go into mounts and storage and format /system, /cache and /data before flashing the zip file. Wipe sd-ext also if you have an ext partition on your sd card.
Without this step you might left some files from the previous rom in the new system and which are now causing you problems.
thanks again ayush29! I now have a wonderful operating system on my phone!You missed the most important step, no wonder your rom is unstable.

I do have another question ayush29k, with all of the different CM10 ROMs out there, in your opinion, is there one that is more stable than the others?
I installed a nightly built aokp (built 6th Nov 2013) which is fine for the most part but it keeps changing ringtones as if it has a mind of its own!
Let me know your thoughts please when you get some free time.
Thanks again, lambousa

I haven't used a lot of CM10 roms, i usually stick with AOKP and PAC roms.
I tried PAC but it was way to heavy on the ram, almost made the phone useless.
AOKP is still better in that regards. I am still using aokp by Mm7, but i haven't updated to the latest version yet and i also have the ringtone problem.
I never had this ever before, so what i did was i removed all the ringtones(except for ui tones) from the /system, then i made the media>audio>ringtones/notifications/alarms directories in the sd card and then placed the tone(single file in each folder) of my choice in there. Then i set them as the default ones in the settings and so far there was only one instance when i had problem with it again and that was when the system crashed due to lack of ram as i was running a lot of apps at once.
At that time i just re set them as default in the settings again.
Its been several months since i am using this rom and i see no problem with it. Although this older version i'm using does not having a working torch but since i don't use it so its not a problem, although i know its fixed in the latest version.
