Hi guys...I dont have an Ace but my sis asked if I could modify her one. I'm an S2 user myself.
Id be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction for the best Rom/kernel combo in terms of stability, speed and battery life.
She has had random reboot problems on stock Rom several times now and has got a new one from Vodafone because of it.the new phone is on 2.3.3 kp6.
I don't know a whole lot about the Ace but I assume it would be the same flashing process as other droids .. Ie..odin stock Rom, root and flash custom Rom?
Thanks in advance.

stock rom with ketut's cfroot kernel will do just fine, or just flash any custom rom based on stock. all of them are using ketut's cfroot kernel anyway. ace doesnt have much kernel choice like those high end device
cm7 kang is available, but its still not stable enough.

Thanks mate. I'm not a fan of cm7 so il stay clear of that. I've tried it on my S2.
So only cf-root is available? This doesn't improve performance or stability though as its a rooted stock kernel..right?

It fixes the screen of death problem, so that's quite nice for a start, I don't know what else it does to be honest . CM isn't stable yet and most of the other roms are pretty much the same IMHO. Just make sure she gets the latest version of cfroot kernel because earlier ones still suffer from SOD.
I'm using TheMyth rom at the moment and it seems to be very stable, but I can't tell yet for sure because I'm only using it since yesterday.

it not just a rooted kernel, actually it contains many tweaks. ext4 filesystem, tiny rcu, custom cpu governor, bln support etc etc. basicly it does improve perfomance and stability.
Glsmt rom is stable, I've been using it since the last 2 months without problems.

So its not cf-root then if it contains those features. Just reAd its a ported version of cf root so that makes sense. Couldn't see anything about cpu governor. What does it use?

I can only recommend glsmt rom, very stable and fast, but very poor battery life. I used it for more than a month and I never got the battery to last more than a day, sometimes it ran out after 10 hours. I guess that's a bit of a drawback .
So far TheMyth rom has the same performance and I'm still on 60% after one day (14h). But it's still too early to say anything about stability .

The best kernel is stock KG3 right now. All those custom kernels are based on outdated KF, since that's the latest released kernel source. None of them solve the Android OS bug either. I tried them all and returned to stock.

Me too. I haven't received any proof, that Ninphetamine is better.
Now I'm trying lulz. 24 hours flight is normal. At least it has better CPU power and clock management.
Ninphetamine is VERY fast, i'm trying to find something fast as it is.
Beside I can use setCPU to customize the clockspeed, I don't see any advantage if using customize kernel.

At least SGSII is already as very fast as you can't get it from it on 100% yet.
By default Ninphetamine uses ondemand CPU Profile. So, I hadn't noticed notable changes in speed with equal settings.
Battery life stayed the same, apropos.

setCPU doesn't provide for you any notable improvement in battery life. Undervolting (UV) does. So, setCPU on Ninphetamine provides UV. But the best way IMHO - is Tegrak Overclock Ultimate - it's capable to change voltage of the Core, Bus and GPU. And of course it works better on author's kernel (lulz - it means tegrak kernel).
Unfortunately, setCPU is not fully compatible with all kernels and vice versa - Tegrak is not compatible with all kernels.
If you recommand the stock KG3 kernel, may you post a link please ? (can't find it).
Thanks.

Nothing against you or the developer but its 100% placebo effect, The S2 is extremely fast that I doubt even kernel changes would matter or even slightly affect speeds, sure you get over 9000pts in quadrant but no real world increase, w/o the voltage controls you cant tell the custom kernel from the stock kernels apart.. Unlike during the S1 days.

Can you tell me one app or game that runs slow with the stock ROM and kernel? This is a very fast phone anyway. It runs everything very fast right out of the box. No need to go playing with voltages and clock speeds and risking bricking the phone.
These alternative kernels are just for -my quadrant score is bigger than yours- type of users and have no real life improvement over stock.
When I moved from an old stock kernel to Ninphetamine-2.0.2 I saw a big difference with the application invocation speed. Even clicking the keyboard was very smooth and without any delay unlike the old stock one.
Maybe it's because the stock kernel version was older I'm not sure , but this is real.
Try this.

Sorry for the noby question, but the stock KG3 kernel will remove the cwm recovery i got right ? so, if I want it back I will need to flash a custom kernel again ?
Well, just flashed SpeedMod.
Extremely slower than Ninphetamine

noob + overclocking + undervolting = wary result.
Anyhow, If bleeding edge is not your thing, you could try Cognition 1.5.1 with Ragemod kernel (in Original Dev). This is quite stable for past MY USAGE and fits your bill.

I would recommend revolution rom in original android development.
Root your phone. You'll need a kernel with clock work mod installed.
Download the kitchen app. Open the app. Press menu download rom. Then install once download completes.
Once done i would recommend tge cf root kernel v4.2 downloadable from the app. It's quadrant scores are over 4000. I only loose 1% battery overnight and another guy using the rom and kernel went 6 days without charge.
This kernel you cannot undervolt or overclock buy clearly you won't need to.

If you have time, try them and find what matches your requirement.
revolution rom with kitchen app is cool option you may try Darkytool too to uninstall or install apks.
im using batista 2.0 with speedmod kernal and it is sick !!!!! try it let me know what you think
You're only going to find the best ROM for you by trying them. Become familiar with Clockwork Mod Recovery and something like Titanium backup and flash 'till you find something you like.
I'm using Villianrom with the Nymphetamine kernal and I couldn't be happier.
Thanks guys im now using sensation with siyahkernel but i will definitely try Revolution with kitchen app
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Batista70 Foxhound 2.1 ROM seems great. Also checkROM. I use Revolution ROM. Don't know, just try them all, it's fun!
Defiantly Resurrection Remix or RootBox for now any way
And kernel either Fluxii, CM9 Remix or Siyah
Thread closed
Bumped from last year? Best ROMs are subjective, test them and make your own decision.
Hi Guys, Need some help! I want a simple rom. I HATE the Telus boot animation!!!!! This is what I have. By the way, It is rooted and unlocked. Samsung Ace GT-S5830D. Android version 2.3.4.Baseband S5830DTLKI4 Kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf-CL568978 [email protected]#1. Build number GINGERBREAD. DTLIK4
Can I use any rom?? I think the stock rom is ok but I want to add a few cool things. I'm new to this Samsung Ace and I'm not sure what to do. I had a HTC Sensation I did a lot with so I know how to flash and all. This is a different animal. Thanks in advance. Thom
As u might know there are a lot of same qs like this
Unless you are on froyo u can flash every rom
If fllow instructions / guide
Don't Thank me ! Thank The World
I think you'll find a stock-based ROM the best. They are still simple, but faster and have great battery life. Plus they have the stock goodies (I really miss the stock phonebook). There are some pretty good SGSII themed ROMs.
Why don't you try to flash that ddkq8 rom via Odin?
U can try stock roms. :thumbup:
There are a few awesome other cm7 roms too in competition with it.
from XDA app
Press THANKS if I helped
fastest rom ever.
you can use ace of spades here. best and fastest rom ever.
bit.ly/ace-of-spades
I would recomend u stocklite_v6 from tj droid
its a stock based rom with amazing speed and battery life ... welll ... you'll get a huge surprise ! It as a cf-root kernel wich also allow´s u to overlock your phone!
I´ve been using it for a while and i am really satisfied
Look for it in dev. section
Use stock ddkq8 its the latest stock.

I think the best choice is an CyanogenMod ROM, simple, effective, and supports everything without problems
The better choice is CM7.2 by vo-1
and you can even disable bootloader with the ROM Toolbox app
sorry poor english D:
rom
Ace of speed is by one of the fastest, lagfree and smooth rom I tried (it's based on CM7). Unfortunately since yesterday it isn't available anymore. I think the next one I'll try will be the galaxyics, based on cm9 and supposevely a porting of ICS. Before flashing a rom (generally if it's a custom you'll need clockworkrecovery), do a full wipe (even a couple of times) and clean cache and dalvik cache. and don't forget to backup...

Well first, It's ace of SPADES and ICS by galaxyics is unofficial port of REAL ICS on ace.
Back to the topic.
Yes you can flash normally. Here are my suggestions
Since ace of spades is down, I suggest CM7 Unofficial By FAT, or Jusada's ICS Final (but it's kinda outdated), Thse are my choices for CM7 based
As for stock,
Try OmegaROM, TheMyth ROMS (any of em. They look nice.), Stocklite also has a good reputation but haven't tried it myself'
Do everything with Lagfree and turboboost. Except for chinese roms
Hi,
I would recomend u stocklite_v6 from tj droid, it's very smooth and using the latest ddkq8.

Hi all,
I am still using GS2 stock rom on Gingerbread. I am wondering if I can get a better performance if upgrade to ICS or JB. Any idea?
Any good custom rom that I can use?
Its all personal opinion. I personally believe that ICS and JB are faster and better than gingerbread... try out ICS and CM10 for JB and see if you like either.

I didnt flash my rom for a long time and become a USER for a year after rooting
OK I recommend using

I really don't know what they exactly mean by "Stable" and All i'm worried about is the battery life, i want a better battery life than the one i already have, and i would really appreciate some guidance from you experienced S2 users in choosing a custom Kernel that suits my needs which are nothing but good battery life and no random reboots. i heard Siyah kernels are pretty good and cyanogen's too.
And all Cyanogen ROM Suggestions are highly appreciated.

OK......CM JB is gonna be more battery friendly than stock JB simply because of the lack of bloatware........
Please don't ask for kernel/ROM recommendations as this is against XDA rules.......

use cm10.1.3 is it the best most battery friendly ,actually most of cm nightlys are ok for daily usage u can even try cm11m3 its also almost stable ,there are many options for custom kernels in stock ,u choose the best for yourself ,for cm and other aosp/aokp roms use the provided kernel for stock bestrecommendation is dorimanx kernel

Thanks for the clarification, But trying all kernels available will be just a total waste of time and energy, although i'm actually thinking about flashing the cm10.1.3, Do i have to change the kernel? can i just
download latest CWM,
flash it with odin,
do all wipes etc and
flash rom + gapps?
will this process change kernel? because cm10.1.3 doesn't come with any custom kernel inside the package..
All ROMs come with their own built in kernels......if you want to change this, it's up to you.....just gotta do your research first........
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
i'd suggest you to flash cm10.1.3 stable release or cm10.2 last nightly ( i guess 26th jan nightly was the last one ) as they both are stable and can be used as daily drivers . if the tag " stable " matters to you and of course , the battery too , try out Infected_'s EOL cm10.2.1 final release .. it is a stable release and is a bit faster than the official one as it is compiled using the linaro toolchain .. all the roms i mentioned are smooth , lagless , and yes , stable and battery friendly . i hope my suggestions are helpful and all the best ! #HappyFlashing
