Greetings all..
I just bought a SAM Ace.. i had a Htc Magic then a X10 mini and now i turned to SAM.. heard that it was a good machine.. so..
I've been using XDA to root, and install new roms to my previous phones..
But in this SAM, unfortunately i am a bit conserned.. So can any1 help me in this questions:
: I'm running Ginger 2.2.3 updated throug Kies
1 - My mobile is sim locked.. i can't use any other sim.. I already searched that is possible to (root) the phone and then install an apk that unlocks the sim lock.. has any1 tried this? is it safe?
2 - I'm a bit worried to (root) this phone, does any1 report any problem after with network, battery and general stability of the device?
3 - Is the best stable official rom at the moment the one i have now or is there a better one ? Though Kies i can't find the 2.2.4v u guys are talking about.. so .. This isn't really an official rom right?
4- Since i've got my phone from Vodafone, it has some operator aps that i don't really use and they are using needed space, is there a way to remove them somehow.. like.. instaling a official rom from elsewere, but still upgradable through Kies? Or do i really need to (root) the device? After rooted, can i still install a official 2.2.3 rom.. but.. without all the operator crap?
5 - There are a few custom roms as i can see, i used to use de Cyanogen in my X10 mini, but i had some issues with sending and receiving mms.. , at the moment.. is there any stable and fully operational roms ? including the mms solved problems..? cof cof.. and good battey usage time ?
6 - Sorry for any bad english.
Thank you !!
Welcome to the community!
For question 4,I have used 2.2.1 and 2.3.4.felt ok except the wifi died occasionally which was a documented problem.
For question 5,I am currently on cyanogen but its a rc version.I am quite happy with it as performance boosted.but it came at the price of battery life.haven't tried mms though

Try to use cyanogen for the rom.

1. No idea although I don't see why it wouldn't be safe.
2. Rooting is easy. Like everything else, be careful and follow instructions to the T and you'll have no problems.
3. Correct. There is no 2.3.4 update through Kies...I think. Plug your phone in and find out.
4. If you want to remove bloatware, root your device and use Root Unistaller. Alternatively, flash a new ROM.
5. There are two variants of CM7.1 at the moment. One was made by BehradGH the other by Grif_07. Both work wonderfully.
6. It wasn't that bad =]
EDIT: Welcome to the SGA forums =D

1.
You should really be cautious when trying to unlock your phone. A lot of people bricked their phone by doing this. Since I have no personal experience in this; all I can do is direct you to threads on XDA but I'm too lazy to look them up for you so I suggest you to use "search".
Thanks to those who answered..

I am using Icecream Sunday by Jusada. It's an ICS themed CM7.1 ROM but it has been stripped down to the bear minimum. Jusada initially made it as a foundation ROM for developers to then customize as they saw fit but it has become very popular amongst forum members as a day-to-day ROM. It is very stable and more importantly (for me) it is FAST!
Also, because it has been stripped down, I have noticed a lot better battery time.
Granted, the battery life on almost all Android phones is crap, but if you're looking to be more conservative with power and increased speed, use Icecream Sunday.
So to answer your question - I get about half a day's SOLID use from my battery.
As far as MMS goes, I am not sure. You'd have to ask one of the devs.
Hope that's helped

Welcome to XDA!
1) It can be quite tricky to unlock the Ace, and can brick/reset it. First check if it really is locked.
2) There's risk involved in rooting, but it's minimal - if you follow the instructions. There are pros and cons of rooting, but the pros outweigh the cons.
3) Kies sucks IMO, so you're better off upgrading with ODIN. Look in this section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1167.
4) The best way to remove the bloatware/crapware is by rooting and then uninstalling them, or by flashing a custom ROM.
5) There are a lot of stable ROMs available, take your pick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194358, there's supposed to be an official Cyanogen for Ace(cooper) in the works, but if you can't wait that long, I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292
Also have a look at some useful info:

However... im having trouble to find a correct download and im not sure were to find the correct one (latest release ) for my x10i.
I saw i post about fxp 115 cm7.2 ( posted on 6 april ) on xda, but with google i saw already fxp 120 cm7.2. Also i came across a site telling me about cyanogenmod 7.2 rc2 but my device wasnt listed there, and now after all the things i read i dont know which i should use fo flash my x10i with. Also i would like to get rid of the sony ericson logo on boot up.
Could some help me out here, meaning ..
1. what is the latest release of cm7.2 for x10i?
Optional
2. where i can get the latest release? ( trusted site )
3. what kernel i can use with cm7.2, so ill be rid of the sony ericson logo on boot up? Or some other option, if there is one..But as far as i know i need an other kernel to achive this.

Go for M & M team's CM 7.2 for unlocked bootloaders
It's the fastest one with all features working properly including camera
Kernel will be there in their thread
Happy flashing

Alternatively, you can download the FXP120 leaked release, just use it with the FXP119 kernel.
Hello.
I`m using AOKP ROM and I see a lot of new updates every 2-3 days. Can I update the ROM and keep settings and apps? Have some ROM with this ability?
It`s very frustrating get some ROM and see that one or other thing doesn`t work and after some days we have the "bug" reviewed but we need to format the device to get the correction.
I know that it`s differente from an update but I still want to know if we can update ROMs in some way without lose every settings.
And yes, I know that all apps that are in SD can be installed easily again but it`s still boring.
Some help?
You can update AOKP without loosing your settings, however I would advise not to pay much attention to those builds, as they are auto-builds generated from AOKP source and offer really nothing new..
:S
JB development has stopped a little since dhacker got a Droid RAZR HD ......
