This is bad news, I think our ace community is quite large and our ace is still fairly new. Anyways lets just keep on doing what we do best and that is makeing our ace the best it can be, we don't have to be on the main forum.

Get us a CM9 port, that would boost the activity here
bad news... I don't know what coolya said about definately having an official version, but after that I really doubt it boys. Honestly so far CM7.2 by vo-1 is a very good rom, in my opinion is the most complete and stable and something tells me that it won't get any better than this.
I mean even if we won't get official, our ACE is still one hell of phone with this version of cyanogenmod on. And afterall, it's just a phone!!!!
In my opinion the thing is, all ROM cookers are separately working instead all collecting under the same roof and starting a big project (pointing at MIUI). Most of the phones which have CynogenMod or MIUI are on the main index, bacause? Its because those ROMs are made collectively by many developers at the same time.
It goes like this:
The bigger the project is - the more bugs spawn - more suggestions come - more mods come for them - more fixes - more themes - which ultimately leads to more activity in that particullar forum.
So as a viewpoint from a user, I'd like if all our developers come together no matter how much education he has about Android but they can contribute to the bigger goals. Make an official ROM for our Ace with widest possibilities of modding in it. I think we would gain our position back on the main index.
So what do you guys think?

I talk about it exactly as you said in the very recent past and never got an answer for that. I absolutely agree with you.
The bottom line is this... mobile phone market as every electronics market is moving so fast that our ACE is now cosidered an old device. Keeping that in mind along with the fact that ACE happens to be a mid range phone then game is over. So if we haven't got an official CyanogenMod by now that means that will never gonna get one. Actually if we haven't got anything by late January 2012 GAME IS OVER!!!

Copy that. But the device never gets older till it gets updates from the dedicated dev's who constantly develop for it, making those phones accomplish bigger tasks than the newer phones. Samsung Galaxy S is the biggest instance, which's still on the index.
Couldnt care less
Cheers

What about LG optimus and optimus one and optimus v There are many devices far older than ACE, but the only problem is that Ace was never released in USA and hence we got lesser devs than those devices, hence classified as low activity
Well I dont know about the rest of the world But in the uk ace is very alive. Its still advertised on tv. 3, vodafone and carphone warehouse all use it in there adverts. Before the ace I had my ace I had an iphone and a gt540. Both ipressive devices for the time, but my ace is special. I havent loved a phone like this since my old w550. I love this phone, I adore it. And with the new software coming out its just as fast and stable as the old galaxy s. It not just a phone, its art! All who read this. . . Stop, look at your phone. Give the finger prints a wipe away. Hold it to the light and look. Now tell me its not stunning. Who cares where they put it. We love it!

Seems that some users feel less of a man (or woman) when their phone is not on the main thread. Couldnt agree with you more. Who cares where the thread is.
Cheers
well said!!
still a fantastic phone with genius devs like yourself releasing roms for it... who cares where the thread is, the ace devs being around is trillion times more important then where the thread is, for me its bookmarked, and even if it aint bookmarked can still find it in the drop-down list so whats the problem?

The whole point is about activity, not the place where we are at the moment. No offence; but with people like your opinion won't even care if the whole board is removed.
[Q] Newly Rooted Tab :Which Is The Best Stable Yet Responsive Rom & Kernel Available?
Hey Guys...I Just Got My Galaxy Tab Today And Just Finished Rooting It Without A Hitch. Now My Only Problem Is I Don't Know Which Rom To Choose. I Have A Rooted S2 E4GT And Pretty Much Know Which Roms And Devs I Get The Best Results With And I Kinda Figured That The Same Roms Would Be Available But Just In Tablet Form. To My Surprise I Only Saw A Couple Familiar Dev Names. And With Each Tablet Or Phone Ive Owned Theres Been A Go To Guy On Youtube That Kinda Gives You The Reviews On Certain Roms Or The Latest Tweak Available, But With This Tablet Ive Found No Such Luck At This Point....So I Decided To Ask You Great Minds On XDA To Lead Me In A Direction Of A Good STABLE Yet RESPONSIVE ROM AND What KERNELS Best Suit This Type Rom And Also If You Happen To Know A Dev Or Tester On Youtube That Pretty Much Deals With Everything Galaxy Tab. THANKS ALOT GUYS YOUR HELP IS REALLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!
I think Galaxy Task 7.0 by Task650. It pretty has it all. Very stable,great dev keeps it up to date.
The Overcome ROM is also very good. I am running it on may 10.1 and its great
Kernel: i think the most popular is the Pershoot kernel!

If you read through Galaxy task post there are some youtube videos that show the tablet in action, I have never tried the overcom rom so I won't say Task's is better, but I will say that this tab flys on Task's rom. Just my 2 cents
I also support Task's Galaxy Task ROM.
Best kernal is pershoot's kernal which is already incorporated in Task's ROM
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

I've been running this for about a week, now, and I'm very pleased.
Hey guys, I come from the "Mytouch 3G Slide" development forum, and well..
You guys just have so much its getting me lost lol.
My question is:
with sooooooooooo many roms.. which are the most used and people like the most?
Something that has features to impress the person next to you, its fun, fast, and nice.
Where I come from there's mostly just Cyanogen Roms.. so yeah, im lost, you guys have a LOT of roms.

Any
this topic is repeated day after day and gets locked by the mods
You could try search >> best roms
Something that has features to impress the person next to you, its fun, fast, and nice.
Person next to me would not be impressed by such .
We have rom development section if you cannot read and understand the details for individual roms dont flash stick with stock .

Look all I want to know is which ROM(s) are good.. You guys have tried them, I have NOT.
I want experience from people who have tried them.
I have rooted LOTS of devices..
Dont go assuming I can't root because I'm posting a simple question.
The ones I tried and that I like the most are:
CriskeloRom V34 (under Galaxy SII Android Development)
CheckROM Revolution V4 (under Galaxy SII Original Android Development)
I hope that helps
Good place to get started
Best way to get started with roms on the SGS2 is go visit here:

one mans good is another mans poor
just read through some of the more popular threads, you can see the number of replies in each one, and flash it if you want to. If you dont like it, flash something different.
Its not rocket science
I've used Checkrom, Criskelo Rom & Hyperdroid. Personal fave is hyperdroid rom. Fast, fluid and amazing battery life

Hi.
All of us enjoy the information and development at XDA forum, Specially our Galaxy Ace forum.
I would like to invite and request all of use to share their experiences of rooting to learning Rom modding to some serious development.
I know developers are busy most of the time in some serious codding and ROM development but if they can find some time and share there experiences as well of their journey across XDA forum then it would really be worth hearing.
We would like to hear:
About getting an ACE.
Discovering XDA Forum and addiction to Rooting.
ROM flashing to ROM modding to ROM development journey.
Useful links that could help others discover n learn more geeky side of android.
And anything worth hearing and sharing that will make us discover the geeky side of you and your Android.
Sharing experiences will make us all feel even more connected.
TIA.
Regards,
Ace owner. Addicted and Rooted to XDA.
Here is my journey...
About Getting an Ace
I had a Nokia 5230 there I learend about custom roms and development(@ dailymobile.com)Then I wanted a upgrade but could not afford an Ace (I'm just a kid,12)So I searched to see if the Galaxy Y or Gio(Like the name as mine is Giovanni)will be good enough the Y's screen was to small but it looked like the Gio would do the trick,THEN sudantly without any notice I got a big order from my dad's work to setup 65pc's and they were gonna pay me R4000 (About 470$) And I got my ACE YEAAAH!
Discovering XDA Forum and addiction to Rooting
So I was running stock and liking my Ace when it started laging I Googled around and found custom roms on XDA!That night I AFTER LOTS OF READING!I flashed my first rom (When ICS just got out) TheMythICS was the first ICS lookalike for Ace but me being a n00b(BACK THEN) tought it was real ics...I flashed but with stock recovery and then rebooted AAAAAAAHHHH!It stuck at samsung screen I tought it was bricked and that this was the end after a week!But that hole night I kept searching on how to fix it and got CMW and it WORKED!And so I got adicted
ROM flashing to ROM modding to ROM development journey
At that moment I flashed about 3 roms a week later it whent to 10 and now I lost count!I then started CRAP theming it SUCKED!After that I leared a lot and started dev'ing for my self...After months I saw an oppertunity for a rom and jumped at it (It's published now BlackBerry os6 v1)And now I am co-founder of a great team, Team Thunderbolt
Today
My work has unfortunalitly stoped for now cuz I bricked my Ace by restoring a CMW backup with RZ recovery.It is at the Samsung Service center at the moment
And so my journey ends FOR NOW!
Heyy people
Here my story..
My first phone was a nokia N79.
It was a perfect phone and very much miss it
I hacked that phone also to use Ngage games for free
After using it for three years then I asked my dad for a new phone he agreed and straightaway I told him S2 I got a slap on return
He gave me a budget to 15k INR
So this is where my search for a new phone began... It was very difficult to choose the OS windows/android/RIM... I was adment on blackberry at first cuz that was booming like crazy at that time but then I asked all the blackberry user and other people and all said android^ftw so went for android... Windows never occurred to me as it was a computer OS and putting it in my phone would make life boring I was the best decision ever made to go for android
After 4-5 months I got my first Android phone SGA. At first I was hugly disappointed with my phone. Touchwiz used to lag a lot unlike nokia and at first I wasn't able to install any apps from the market due to unsufficient internal memory even though internal memory was empty. I googled the problem read a lot and solved it
Then there was limitations of hardware The Android market being so vast and so many apps I was disappointed as some of the good ones weren't compatible with my phone. I installed so many apps install delete install delete so much. I also came across apps that said you need root accessat that time that word was alien to me I didn't bother much due to shortage of memory All of this happened in month and two.
Later I googled again how to customize my phone/root it etc and came across xda for 2 months I read all the stuff here and applied to my phone cm7
It was amazing... Never experienced so much customization and performance
I did not have any problem rooting/flashing etc everything was mentioned perfectly and if not the other posts would have the issue.
Then I made an account here just to post how grateful I am to all the developers and users for making my phone a real smartphone
At first I would flash every rom in the development section was addicted to flashing. My friends were amazed with my phone capabilities.
All the scripts the app2sd the gps twicks
And now I am here happy with my sexy phone and xda
Although I am not a Dev but I am learning about coding
And hope to contribute to this community
CHEERS
Be Kind everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
Well , here's my story .
The very first smartphone I got was the Nokia N95 .
At that time , I only knew how to pirate games for use on this phone and it wasn't used much......then I in a fit of rage I once threw it against the wall (vo-1 reference) and the phone shattered into bits and pieces . It was no longer usable .
My parents then got me the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic , and that was really the start of time when I ventured into custom ROMs . Nokia phones had to be off to be flashable , so there was once I screwed up the internal firmware , rendering it unbootable . Fortunately for me , I found a stock firmware and flashed back to that version . However , all these adventures came to an end because my dad lost that phone (I was so sad) .
So I went back to the phone shop . The phones that I asked for: The 3 flagship WP7 phones......were all out of stock . Then I asked for the SII , out of stock .
I was presented with 2 Ace devices: the HTC Desire HD (HTC Ace) and the Samsung Galaxy Ace . I stupidly took the Galaxy Ace as it was free under my contract .
That's when I discovered Android phones could be rooted.....and so my quest at XDA began . I registered for an account straight away , looked at the available guides and I even made a newbie guide myself (I am proud of it)
I try to help people in the newbie thread and trolling along with friend in the off-topic thread
Till now , I have 3 Android phones (Motorola Defy [spoilt] , Motorola Backflip and Samsung Galaxy Ace) and a year of experience in XDA I also recently became a Recognized Contributor
Whatever the future holds I do not know.....but I will face whatever happens with a smile
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
I dont like to write long stories... But in short Once an Ace user always an ace user...
Proud owner of an ace...
P.S : Good idea author... +1
I WAS once a proud NOKIA user!
My last Nokia was E5...
I love the QWERTY keypad and hater of touchscreen phones. But one day I've read about ACE review in a newspaper. The review was so nice n I was influenced.
So,bought it. After about 3days, Im thinking, are they upgradeable like Nokia? So,I've Google and accidentally found xda,create an account but never write a single post that time
I follow the rooting,n flashing cm7.1 RC1 I didnt even know what ANDROID is. Luckily I didnt brick it. Consider myself lucky. Then when 7.2 was created, I used infinity rom by nims. After few months, I start to learn what is kernel(i have Googled it and the answer was popcorn lol), script, rom and ext,what is ODIN
Now,even I didnt make any modifications, but I'm still learning
the Mafia in 'making'
My first phone was Sony Ericsson K770i. It was a great phone. The camera used to be my favourite feature of it. In the year 2010, after finishing my PMR, I got a part time job as the P1 broadband promoter. After working for 1 month, I got the salary which was RM1000. Then I decided to buy a smartphone. I did many researches about what was a smartphone and Android. Then I found that Samsung Galaxy S was really awesome and popular. Unfortunately, it was very expensive and I decided to wait until it became cheaper. In the March of 2011, I read an article about Samsung new mid range smartphone-the Samsung Galaxy Ace. I was impressed, the design was absolutely amazing and specs was not bad. The day after that, I went to Samsung Centre in Sunway Pyramid and finally bought it with a price of RM999.
The performance of Galaxy Ace was very good until someday in April, it started to have problems. It rebooted itself. I was worried about that. Wondering was it infected by viruses? Then I looked for solutions from the internet and found the XDA forum. Did a cache wiping and everything became normal again. After that, I realised that I could actually customize it further. Then I started to learn about rooting. The first custom ROM that I installed was Ice Cream Sunday by Jusada. It was really good. Boosted the performance of my Ace.
In the September, I registered a XDA account. Decided to learn what was a custom ROM. Nims11 and Robin taught me a lot. Jusada also taught me how to create a custom ROM. Until today, I'm a Recognized Contributor of the XDA forum.
Respecting others never hurt, let's build a better XDA community.
well my Ace is my first phone
i first saw android os on my friends htc legend and was insanely amazed
the live wallpapers, the ui , the settings(lol they looked nice too ) and i decided at once that i will buy an android at any cost
after seeing my phones Htc Desire i got even more desperate
so i worked part time for 3 months and raised up the money ( i was in 11 grade then ) so i had 3 choices available back then due to my 15k budget:
se xperia x10 mini(and mini pro ) , samsung galaxy 3 , and htc wildfire
i just loved the looks of sense ui , and was about to buy wildfire when bang ! came our Ace faster processor , better display and everything more than wildfire so i bought it right away after some 15 days after its release
well i never liked touchwiz( and i still dont ) so i did some googling and foound whhat root power is capable of ...so i decided to root my phone
after watching the root tutorial about 3 times i finally rooted my phone .and then went on to the android market to install all root apps possible . well then i encountered the extremely dangerous ROM MANAGER and i bricked my phone luckily for me the service guys replaced the board
and from that day i flash anything fearlessly coz the worst possible had already happened to me.....well i found xda when i was searching for the elusive CM7 rom for my Ace ( read a great review of cm7 at androidpolice) and then i followed it for about 6 months without registering .....why ??? bcoz i thought that this was a developer site i thought that devs will not like noobies like me ...well i finally decided to join in december ( bought my phone in march)
and since then its been a great journey today i have my favorite cm7 rom on phone ( never flashed a non-CM custom rom..not even roms based on CM ) ........and a great android community of which i m proud to be a part of
sorry for writing so much i just got a bit emotional
Before i got Ace i had a NOKIA 5800XM
Nice phone, better display than ace, but it was a resistive screen. and Vf-firmwares always needed years-.-
Well after 2 years i got a new phone by contract. of course i wanted S2 or newest Nexus...lokked at the price and said: no sir! Its a faqing phone!
Then had the choice between Xperia Ray (ugly, little screen and 80€) or ace (pretty nice, at least bigger sceen tha 5800XM and 50€.
Thats how i got my ace about 8 months ago with Stock 2.3.3 running and no update in sight (Vf...´nuff said)
Rooted it, cuz i can. And a few days ago i created an XDA acc and flashed CM7.2 because it got official and development is in progress.
great I'll start with mine. I was an avid Nokia user since its a popular brand here in the Philippines, started with 5110, 3315, 5300, N70, 5800 (i think), and C3. got bored and got my Backpay on one of my jobs. so i saw the ace and loved the screen, i bought on a mall just to find out that I can buy it online for less PHP2500 that what i paid for so i feel bad i thought it was a rip off. so I started using it and wasnt really happy with the battery life, thats were i started googling since i heard about custom ROMS, now i am very happy i bought an ACE, i plan on buying a new phone soon but will always use it as a back up . i have also rooted 2-3 aces of my friends and introduced them to XDA and rooting.
welll i always got used phone from my family..... 4-5 in span of 4 years from class 9....
then at the end of first year of my college i had 20,000 savings ... i asked my brother for helping me out for a phone for i basically needed for internet and pics..and i was in love from the name android and its huge functionality
My bro suggested me SAMSUNG"s ANDROID
galaxy ace was launched near may 2011.... as galaxy S didn't had the flash and my family asked me not to go for costly S2 (i still sometimes feel dejected why i never listened to my innerself and purchased s2) i ordered ACE...
as i GOT my ace i was extremely happy....i took photo from it... at night day and was in love with it...
but as i came in love with android apps.. i found the problem of "low internal phone memory"...
i moved to net and found flashing.... used androidflip and it was sad that the site didn't clearly stated the right process to boot in recovery.. so gave in service centre after wrong flashing...
next i came to xda.... and OMG!!! such helping people... i came to know of root... rooted my MOBILE.. partitioned sd-card and whole bundle of appps... at one time i had my 2GB sd-ext partition almost full on cm7
with time i grew to know how to flash and use phone with some mods..
i came to know about pro and cons of CM& and stock
and i always keep flashing my MOBILE and doing some MODS from UOT
my family started to denote and have fun with me by stating that my ACE is the 2nd SUPER COMPUTER that INDIA has got
now i am a STOCK custom rom lover ACE USER....
i keep a minimum app..not like my 2gb sd-ext ....
i am not much of pretty much satisfied with the total response from my ace... but yes its was a nice package for 15,000 last year....
Hii,
It was nice to hear stories from all of you...would like to know more n more interesting and geeky things that have happened to you guys n gals on the journey...
Keep writing.
If possible also share some information links which can guide others on their journey as well.
TIA
Good luck

Phone shattering journey

Well , here's my story .
The very first smartphone I got was the Nokia N95 .
At that time , I only knew how to pirate games for use on this phone and it wasn't used much......then I in a fit of rage I once threw it against the wall (vo-1 reference) and the phone shattered into bits and pieces . It was no longer usable .
My parents then got me the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic , and that was really the start of time when I ventured into custom ROMs . Nokia phones had to be off to be flashable , so there was once I screwed up the internal firmware , rendering it unbootable . Fortunately for me , I found a stock firmware and flashed back to that version . However , all these adventures came to an end because my dad lost that phone (I was so sad) .
So I went back to the phone shop . The phones that I asked for: The 3 flagship WP7 phones......were all out of stock . Then I asked for the SII , out of stock .
I was presented with 2 Ace devices: the HTC Desire HD (HTC Ace) and the Samsung Galaxy Ace . I stupidly took the Galaxy Ace as it was free under my contract .
That's when I discovered Android phones could be rooted.....and so my quest at XDA began . I registered for an account straight away , looked at the available guides and I even made a newbie guide myself (I am proud of it)
I try to help people in the newbie thread and trolling along with friend in the off-topic thread
Till now , I have 3 Android phones (Motorola Defy [spoilt] , Motorola Backflip and Samsung Galaxy Ace) and a year of experience in XDA I also recently became a Recognized Contributor
Whatever the future holds I do not know.....but I will face whatever happens with a smile
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?

nice blog ...http://androidict.blogspot.in/
I can see that most of us a from Nokia "smartphone". In 2009, i was not conviced with android. So i buy a windows mobile instead. A non touchscreen phone, with slide keyboard and stuff. Then after a year, androids become more mature and i got extra cash. So i bought Galaxy Ace. a value for money phone At that time. Comparing winmo standard and android, android is better in many levels. But winmo handles memory better imho.
I dont like stock rom, and using CM since the first unoficcial build. And now lewa rom. Tried CM9. It was fast and usable but my GF wants to use the camera. She even want me to flash back to GB that instance. Haha

Hi.
All of us enjoy the information and development at XDA forum, Specially our Galaxy Ace forum.
I would like to invite and request all of use to share their experiences of rooting to learning Rom modding to some serious development.
I know developers are busy most of the time in some serious codding and ROM development but if they can find some time and share there experiences as well of their journey across XDA forum then it would really be worth hearing.
We would like to hear:
About getting an ACE.
Discovering XDA Forum and addiction to Rooting.
ROM flashing to ROM modding to ROM development journey.
Useful links that could help others discover n learn more geeky side of android.
And anything worth hearing and sharing that will make us discover the geeky side of you and your Android.
Sharing experiences will make us all feel even more connected.
TIA.
Regards,
Ace owner. Addicted and Rooted to XDA.

My Journey:
First when I was about in Grade 5 I got a WM smartphone: HTC Touch. I used it happily until my mom bought herself an HTC Tattoo(LOL, it was awesome that time). After that she went to iPhone 4 and I got the Tattoo. And that's when I'm addicted to XDA. Later on, as a unimportant 12-years-old kid, I got Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 FOR FREE. First I argued with my dad about who will use the iPad 2 at home and the new stuff. I then OWN the Tab 8.9.
I used it for educational purposes. Then one day I went to lunch with my family, including my grandparents. To my amazement, my grandad got an ACE and he gave it to ME!
OK, so I am still on stock rom for a month, then you know that!(I changed rom 6 times a day maximum )
Unluckily, one day I started deving rom for ACE and pulled a Sense 3.5 rom from HTC hero and HARD-BRICKED MY ACE!!!! My dad took it to the service and the "geeks" over there changed the board for FREEEEEEEEEEE From that day on I dare not port a ROM to my ACE.
Discovering XDA:
When I was using my HTC Touch one day I heard a strange word: "up ROM" which means flash ROM for pros. My dad upgraded the ROM for me and I came to XDA. After coming to the ACE forum 2 years (already rooted) later I found a F****** lots of ROMS here and acted like a maniac.
ROM Flashing:
At first I acted dumb: use ROM Manager on my ace(pls notify koush about that). Luckily nothing happened. As I got an experience on flashing before it was a breeze.
Developing:
Simple: Put apps into a ROM, zip it and sign it.
Next: Porting and HARD-BRICKING
Next again: Stucking at modding framework-res.apk(If someone knows how pls pm me, I found it on Google but want to know exactly how to do it on ACE.)
Changing mobile;
Before coming to ACE and when using HTC Click, my dad's Desire became broken. He allowed me to fix it, so now I'm on a Sense 3.5 ROM on my Desire in my pant's pocket right now.
And that's the end!
-I may be a n00b and new on xda, but I'm a geek in Android

ah the SGS2... not sure about the dual booting (never tried it) but as far as roms im a touchwiz fan lol and the lightest rom i liked was called NeatRom... you should be able to find it under the SGS2 section... goodluck and congratz
there is no such thing as a best rom. This thread will stay open to answer the other questions but best rom questions will not be allowed. it is recommended that members read and study on their own to determine what rom is best for them.
I will defenitly not use a TW rom because Touchwizz is the worst experience that i have ever experienced on my devices
I just wanna get a good rom that´s familair with MIUI !
