My 20 year old cousin sister is looking for a Android phone and the ACE just about fits in an extended budget.
Is the phone good? Or are there any better alternatives at similar prices?
The internal memory at 158Mb seems too low, is this a problem?
Will she be able to run games like Angry Birds?
She needs a stable ROM and will not be messing up with the phone much. Which ROM / Kernel is recommended?

Ya! Its a good phone! But RAM is low! Games like Angry birds will hang a bit! But overall its a good phone and u can move to cm7 to play angrybirds without any problems! Also lagfree is a must install for all ace users! U can check android development section for more info.
Press thanks if i helped you!

If you know how to install ROM's and the necessary additions, 158 mb is not a problem. And this phone is damn good. Easy to flash ROMs and make the phone easily modified.

The ICS Final or infinity speed ROM is definitely recommend. The kernel come with the ROMs.

Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman at almost same price in mumbai.. and worth of price as more ram + processor + 320MB storage + ICS + walkman quality.... so it would be worth that money...
if you like ace then you might want to wait for some time as ace plus is expected to be launched at 15k with some good improvements
since she wont be messing about with the phone much, maybe stock roms would be better(functions like swipe to call) try ICS stock by rushabh25 its in the development section

This was my first Android phone so I really don't have vast experience, but I have learned to install CM7.2, many mods, hacks, etc and the phone is going like a champ, so it can take heavy modding and inexperienced users.
It is true that the limited internal memory is a problem, at least to me and it lags a bit playing games, even being OC'ed and optimized by scripts.
I do still recommend it, just make sure you install a lightweight launcher and try to keep the always running apps (facebook, twitter, whatsapp, etc) to the minimum those precious MBs of ram do hurt the performance, also disabling big, heavy widgets has shown improved performance.
Do not try to overclock over 902Mhz, I keep mine at 884Mhz though at 902 it was able to run normally throughout the day, but when playing games or doing CPU intensive tasks I do get hard resets.
I hope this helps you in making your mind.

hey people and good day!
im new to s3 just bought it today and im still having the galaxy note in my hand
but itv very big for me
and i feel the changing with smoothness the s3 is incredible smooth
so my question is,should i root it and put custom rom?
because in my notre i change almost every 3 days the rom because the note little bit lag
but here with s3 its looks goddes with everything
so should i do it it will be better with the custom roms or it will make it more lag then the stock??????

It really depends on the rom and kernel you are using. At the moment I am on Omega 4.2 (going to update to 5.0 now) and SiyahKernel 1.0 over clocked at 1.6GHz. I find the S3 very smooth, more compared to stock. The stock rom is pretty smooth but if you feel that there is a lag you could always install a custom rom and kernel. With the SiyahKernel you can overclock upto 1.8GHz.

What is even the point of overclocking this phone with the software available now? There is really no need. I've actually used SetCPU to downclock my CPU when battery gets below 40% to save battery, and even more at 20%.. and it still runs fine.You're just wasting battery and shortening the life of your phone.
Stock is smooth as poop, ask yourself if you're happy with smoothness and speed.. Why risk to get weird bugs like camera fc all of the sudden etc?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Agree you need to read what the custom rom is offering in real terms not hype and decide . bear in mind that every custom rom built claims to be faster smoother saves your battery and will fly you to your destination in first class .Few say hey this rom is slower than stock as i have messed with stuff and cut and pasted a few themes .
jje
PS saying that i am in the process of flashing a stock rom purely to test out my recovery procedures for getting back to a clean stock rom .
I have a question about installing a custom ROM, will it wipe your device after installing the custrom ROM? (I want to install the latest firmware AF2) TIA

By doing underclock is battery save notic able? Will it harm cpu as it always underclock and then again back to normal?

Nope, underclocking won't harm it, having a massive overclock for most of the phone's life will probably shorten it's lifespan though.
hi guys,
i got a K17i miniPro, now have to choose the right Firmware
my usage will be: mainly Trillian, some daily-use Apps, OSM Navigation sometimes.
so i dont need eyecandy-blingbling fullysocial integrated Walkman stuff; so i dont want a Stock ROM
i very love CM 7.2 (Android 2.3.7) on my Ideos X3, but i heard CM9 should be more better
so... can you tell me please
what combinations are you using?
how are you using your phones?
and how long does your battery last finally?

Well,I m on MESA 1.6 Kernel and Stock ICS ROM at the moment and battery life is pretty good.
It ranges between 16-18h with heavy use up to 36-40h with light use of the phone.
They key thing is getting rid of all the bloatware that stock ICS has,plus using profiles as far as CPU
clock and Governors are concerned.I m sure that you know all the other tricks like a lower than 50%
screen brightness and Synch OFF and stuff like that.
Hope I helped.Good luck! Experiment and you ll find a good combination of settings.
N.
before installing any custom rom you have to first unlock bootloader then after flash underclock to increase battery lifetime
I did read somewhere that rage kernel is the best for getting the most battery life! Gnna try it soon !
Also use smartassv2 as ur governor with noop ... Underclock ur processor a bit
( I use mine at 834 MHz, runs smooth) ..u can always bring it back up if u feel like your phone is getting a little laggy.

I have tried both CM7.2 and CM9.0 RC2 on my XMP. CM9.0 RC2 still has some bugs. I have installed it twice. It boots ok but I have got two severe problems. There is a weird screen at the very first boot which tells you to input SIM lock key. I couldn't get past this screen. Another time, the launcher didn't load no matter how many times I rebooted.
I tried CM7.2, the ROM is very good and usable. But I don't know why my battery drains too much fast. I flashed the ROM while my phone was fully charged and also wiped the battery stats. But no good, the battery drains way too fast.
You can try kamarush's MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP with Rage kernel or Krsh kernel. Very good ROM with very low battery drain.
I was using CM9 Stable on my XP Mini for the past week.
Battery life sucked really hard in comparison to MESA Kernel/Stock ROM.
We re talking about 10-14h for a full charge using Data (3G).
I m back on MESA/Stock again.
N.
Try Extended stock kernel with miniCMsandwich lite.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
CPU max: 768mhz min: 249mhz
I lowered voltage by 50mV for all frequencies with "system tuner"
Governors: scary, smartassV2, interactive, brazilianwax. SmartassV2 is the most popular all around governor.
I'm also using "perapp" application. It allows me to set different CPU frequencies individually per application. e.g. when I enter a demanding app, it upscales the max CPU freq to 1ghz...
Try to use a light ROM, or simply remove bloatware manually.
Consider GB since it's less resource demanding, less lag and faster then ICS.
Xtended stock kernel{ICS} by expeacer has a good batt consumption. Rage for GB&ICS also.
For CM7, you can use ported Rage kernel by user greenalgae.

I overclocked to 1.89 , scaling is ondemand
Smoothness : very , very smooth
Battery life : the same for me
Cpu heat : Only when playing mc3 for 2 hours
---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------
And use AnTuTu cpu master , its more stable :good:
Before you doing something that can make your phone burn it is better for you to search an info about it. And there is a step of doing it not just simply swipe it to maximum clock. That is why the devs always remind us to take our own risk of overclocking. You can read more detail info from this link.

Overclocking the maximux cpu frequency doesnt mean heat/battery dies
It only increases the maximum level of what the frequency can reach , so if ur just browsing or watching utube or playing 2d games like angry birds , the fone wont run at the maximum overclocked frequency , so no effect will occur , but if u play a heavy game like modern combat 3 and u have overclocked , the cpu frequency will jump to the maximum and will cause heat after a while and more battery usage
Thats what i think
check my thread in the general section

no necessary to overclock
hey guys...i bought my SXS with android 2.3.7 ....3months ago....bootloader unlocked...rooted...and really...2x 1,5GHz is totally enough for your device...even Shadow Gun runs perfectly smooth without overclocking.......but if you have installed a custom rom...you will get lags e.t.c ....if so...download chainfire 3d from google market....free ofcharge...install the driver and everything should be ok now.
if you want to overclock....i advice you to use cpu tuner...uses a bit memory...and you may choose how many cpu should run....i prefer to select just one cpu " in settings...use dual cpu.....deactivate" ....and then overclock it...you will get a nice performance and a little more battery life.
hope it helped
Has been using SetCPU for the last one day on rooted stock ROM n it really boosted the phone's performance.. Plus one of the weird thing is dat it actually saving battery.. I ws using juice defender & GO Power at the same time but wasn't quite getting da performance.. But now SUPERB! Attached are the screen shots of my SetCPU profiles.. Try it now lemme know =) ~

Hi, i have a question about setCPU. Can it on rooted XPS with Stock ICS kernel (build 6.1.A.2.45) control CPU voltage?
Or it's a limited feature available only for custom kernels? I have a locked bootloader so no custom kernels for me
Thanks (don't want to buy it now a regret it)

if you are rooted you can try to overclock your device, also install custom kernels with better governors. try a search on the forum, you will get a lot of custom kernels also find ways to overclock your device.

Performance is a subjective term..
It varies from person to person.
Well,games do lag on our phones beyond a point and I've seen every android device lag after sometime of use while doing heavy multitasking,etc
Android OS as such needs to undergo a lot of development .
Well,you do have to pay a price for the seamless customizing option it gives us..

Would recommend you to switch to Super Jelly Bean v5.o + Fusion v5.5 kernel.
And yes, avoid overclocking. I never do. And if you switch to any SJB or moAOKP v3, you'd get enormous amount of RAM that you need not overclock!

Well yes, not all apps are compatible with it. Just think like your phone was a computer/PC.
You install windows xp which is themable and can become like windows 7 (i think transforming it to windows 8 would make it less efficient.)
So you have the lightets and most beautiful version of windows ever on your pc. But still windows xp can only use directx 9 and cant use internet explorer10 (but anyway who's using internet explorer nowadays.). Also a lot of software is not compatible with it.
So you install windows 7. Windows 7 will give you an amazing collection features,apps and such but they will perform slower compared to windows xp. (We are always talking about a computer with about 1,3~1.5Ghz proccesor)
So you must choose between these two: A lot of compatible apps and slow speed OR excellent performance with lower app compability. Well you choose. Gingerbread or ICS/JB. It is up to you and how you are going to use your phone.
Also with the lemon cake (if i rember correctly) version of android there is going to be a huge performance increase because it is going to support phone with ram of about 512MB which is what our phone has. And with a fully working kernel 3 Performance should be increased [email protected]!

actually it is 335 for gingerbread
340 for ics and

Well because of the fact that i am afraid of unlocking my bootloader (no money to fix/replace the phone from any damage caused) i cant tell you about custom kernels. But our phone has in general 512mb of ram. Generally some memory is taken by the kernel for some functions for example camera/gpu. Camera 720p has been removed from jelly bean so thats why it has more free ram.
That happens on every phone i guess.

Well it seems to be lighter and probably I guess more optimized. Ram doesnt matter for performance in this case. Gingerbead was made to work on devices with even lower ram thats why no problems excists. Also my guess is tha Jb can work on even less ram smooth enough. Ram in android is mostly occupied by cached processes which are "useless" for the Os to operate correctly.
Anyway about csr racing i know nothing ).
