Its not like I don't want to help you but mostly all of your questions can be answered just by lookin' into the "Android develpment" section of this sub-forum.
You can find everything you need there; from instructions about how to flash a ROM to the ROM itself.
As for the best ROM, well, there's aint much custom ROM for the Ace now. But a stock XXKPH might be the one you lookin' for.
Used it for almost a moth now and still no SODs or crap like that.
Hope this help.

KPH is what you are looking for.
I've used every rom out there but I find it the best one.
Use cf-root kernel on it & apply some tweaks. It'll fulfill all your needs.
Don't forget to hit thanks if I helped you!
Code Rom is the best till now .
Fast, stable with darktremors apps2sd and ext 4 support in nexus ace .

As you can see from comments above; such 'best ROM' is relative to each people.
One may want features that others dont and vice versa.
You should try one by one and find which suits you best.
Thanq guys for ur replies. Im unable to find my present firmware(DDKA7) not even here

You don't need to go back to the same firmware. If you want to go back to froyo then you flash with DDKC1.

The thing would be void warranty if you want to get an exchange... they do check your firmware version.

Hey!
I think all ROM-s DEVELOPERS and others, who may include needed things in ROM(custom ones)are WORTH for BIG RESPECT(developers are doing what they can and after that they MAYBE can IMPROVE, already made out ROM-s)!!!
CHEERS!
try stock 2.3.4 + custom kernel cf-root... no any kind of bugs for me..
If you really want a stock gingerbread firmware (stock means no modification at all, no custom kernel) then I can suggest 2.3.3 KPN from Spain. No SOD so far, wake up lag almost does not exist (both problems are in 2.3.4 KPH).
However, if you can live with a from time to time SOD or with the wake up lag, 2.3.4 KPH is enough. Also, if you go KPH, there's a lot of custom ROM for it now.

I agree and vote for KPN. Haven't encountered any SOD yet ( I use my SGA as a portable hotspot for an average of 6 hours a day, and with KPH, SOD happens twice a day) Hope it stays stable..
2.3.3 XWKPN is the best for me
Hey i m new in xda.i want to try cm7 rom in my p500.i just want to know what is baseband n what is gsm.i m currently on rooted android 2.2.
Plz help me i don't know how to change baseband n why it is necessary.

Here's a link to where you can read more about getting the new baseband:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140862
BUT! for trying out CM7 on your phone you currently do NOT need the new baseband, although you might need it in the future.
All you need to do is install ROM Manager from the market > flash custom recovery from it > download the required files and follow the instructions available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
Hope that helps
What about gsm.what is gsm?
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
GSM = Global System for Mobile Communications more or less your phone's ability to work as a phone/connect to your provider's network.
The tricky part with basebands and different ROMs is that once you flash the new baseband (update to official GingerBread), you will not have gsm/network if you go back to a ROM based on the old baseband. Up side is, Mik has taken care of it by coming out with a workaround, which you can find in the FAQ section in the CM7 link I posted earlier.
And btw, searching the forums is a good way to find a lot of useful info, don't get me wrong, I'm new here too, but all the answers I'm giving you, I've managed to find with the search options
Ok thanks dude this is very helpful

Hi everybody !
First thx
I have an official Orange FR Atrix, it was on 2.2.2 out the box.
After a soft brick, I've done an upgrade to 2.3.4 with the new sbf and fastboot.
But now I would like to downgrade to 2.2.2 for some reasons (laptop in qwerty insted of azerty, video aspect ratio not good, some bugs, etc...), I have a CWM nandroid backup from my stock 2.2.2 rooted, but when I try to restore it with CWM it doesn't works (its stop at the boot flashing...)
Is there a way to downgrade with CWM with my nandroid backup ?
Is there a French Orange SBF I can use ?
Many thx
You don't flash a backup you restore a backup

Downgrading is very dangerous. I advise against it. But if you really want, the safest way is to use SamCripps fruitcake. Not sure if he has one for your version though.
Thx for your help, but I found the solution with this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944&highlight=firmware
I've downloaded the orange france firmware (same as my original one), and flashed it with RSD Lite.
It works perfectly !!
Many thx to xda devs !!! ^^
Now with the stock rom I have two issues :
With 3g connection I can't download app on market or download something with stock explorer, the downloads stays on pause... internet and other downloads work fine. And everything works fine on wifi...
The second issue is I have no webtop/laptop mode anymore, only the media center.
Can you help me ? :'(
Thx.
I'm so stupid, the first issue wasn't an issue, it's a motorola setting I activated... sorry
but there is still the issue with the laptop/dock mode, I don't know how to fix it...

Hi Stremon,
Would you please show me how to deal with downgrade to 2.2.2 from 2.3.4?
I am having problem with battery; Bat sinks too fast if compare with the 2.2.2.
Thanks,
You might download your stock rom HERE (take only the "full" file), and flash it with RSD lite 5 (google it).
But be carefull, sometime it can be dangerous...
Hi
If I flash a rom that requires new baseband (e.g. Official GB), but I dislike, Can I back to the old baseband flashing a backup of a rom that support old baseband?
No that's not possible...you need to downgrade your baseband first and then you will be able to restore your backup... else NO GSM...
1 Friendly suggestion... forget about upgrading to official GB as it sucks goats... try any rom but not those...

Thanks for your answer and suggestion!
How does one downgrade?
You are right, the new baseband DOES suck! Help on downgrading back to old baseband? (wifi calling is the most important feature to me, and I dont have it on this god forsaken 2.3)

you can downgrade back to the old baseband using the same method you used to flash the new baseband.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149530
it is the same method except you use another file (in this case you will be using the file for the old baseband)
Hello,
has someone have the old stock rom GT-I9100_XEN_I9100CEKI2_I9100XENKH1_I9100XXKI1.rar available and want to share this with me ?
It is the version for the Netherlands.
I'm currently on stock 4.0.4 (no root) but I'm not happy with it and want to go back to GB.
I have searched the net but it seems that the stock Roms for GS2 are not available anymore, they seem to be removed.
Please share this file with me !
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Oh and if possible also both kernels stock and rooted ?
Kernel_I9100CEKI2.tar and CF-Root-SGS2_CE_XEN_KI2-v4.2-CWM4.tar

Just use Google search next time!
1. Rom
2. Original kernel
3. CF-root
BTW, see the sentence beneath (in my signature).
Also be sure that you do not brick your phone since you're on Android version 4.0.4

Thanx ! I did use google but the sites I got back reported only that the file had been removed.
Thank you for the link.
Another question, I am not going to wipe anything as the phone isn't rooted and has no CWM recovery on it. Will it still be dangerous to flash this old rom back using Odin ?
One of the reasons I want to go back is because of the bug which could brick the phone.
Thanx for the heads up
