If you want 4.3, flash official stock rom.
If Kitkat, qs rom highly recommended.

New Ace User..

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 =]

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

[Q] please help

Hello all....
First off...i appoligize if im posting in the wrong spot...kinda a newbie to this whole android world. I recently installed the cyogen mod 10,1 mod for my Telus Samsung 989d. I managed to get my it working right and my phones incredibly fast. The only issue is that my reception is horrible now. I'm not sure how to fix those so I thought I'd pay for ROM manager and get new ROMs directly from my phone but I can't find any stable ROMs. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong or can explain how to fix it..please let me know.
Thanks!
not easy to get a Rom
Well as i understand your problem is that the ROM is reducing your signal.
I think you should either search for a good rated ROM and till you find that i think you should restore your Stock Rom
I know that stock isn't that cool but still you will get a good signal
Hit thanks if i helped
Yeah, you need either to change the ROM or restore the stock ROM if you feel that this ROM makes your signal reception worse.

It just sucks that every ROM I try doesn't work. Is there any websites which allow you to search for ROM by model and carrier ?

wich ROM?

hello,
i searching for a stable Rom for a friend for the galaxy ace.... he is a absoute noob and his phone is very slow.... wich Rom should i use?
thanks for the answers!
@made-in-tirol, Ace GT-S5830i/C/M/39i known as Cooperve device, comes with the official version 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) which, can be rooted and be optimized into perfection without any serious custom mod installation for person who has no need of tinkering with his/her device constantly. ( flashing some custom kernel is needed to maintain full performance and battery optimization, if you have problems).
FYI there is no Rom, which labeled as "most stable". However from my experience I encountered fewer bugs; regular flow of updates when I used Touchwiz Resurrected V2. On the contrary though some people prefer CM7 ROMs over any other non cyanogen mod any day

[Q] Rom with good battery life

Hi all, im a new galaxy s 2 user, but i've allready tried a lot of roms from xda. As for me, a dont care about what android version it is based on( exept gb obviously) i need a stable and a good battery rom to use it daily, just for web surfing, and music while driving. Unfortunately, i really dislike stock samsung interface, so best choice for me is aokp/cm based rom. Now im using hydra h20 rom, it seems to be stable and battery friendly, but maybe i've missed some other good roms to try, so, my question is, what rom will you recommend me( or other users with same aims) to try?
Sorry for my english, its not my language

Your opinion of LG G2 ROM choise

Hello, tomorrow I will receive my new LG G2 D802.
After a long time of being iOS user ,I want to get back to the Android.
As there are many treads of info and lot of then are out of date.
My question is - what is the best ROM for this moment to LG G2.
I want good battery performance, good camera with manual settings specially manual autofocus during video recording.
So give me your favorite ROM, and why you use it ?
It would be great if someone give me info about rooting and other usefull mods?
thanks ,greetings from Latvia ,
Cheers!
Cloudyg3 best choice for me.its a nice"upgrade" all around of the stock many more features that is very useful and missing in stock.the new design icons..good battery and xcam camera build in and stable..try it its my daily driver for a long time
Don`t get me wrong but this question depends on peoples choices...but i will tell you my opinion:
-if you like slim and pure android experiance with good tweaks i would suggest you latest Ressurection Remix with a slim gapps.(dont expect stock quality camera performance)
-if you want to get stock and rock solid performance with a really good quality camera i would suggest you cloudy g2 2.2 with stock kernel. ( for me only problem with cloudy is too many bloats in it but you can delete them bloats with root explorer and you will be good to go...)
-lately i am testing Miui v6 on g2.its simply amazing rom with really good interface and slick performance. it has all capabilities of stock experiance with a better designed ui,stock camera and tons of theming options.its been few days since its rolled out but it is very stable for daily use.but dont forget it is still in early developement stage.you can find some little bugs.
pure android wont make you %100 happy with its camera performance. i would suggest you to try cloudy g2 2.2. (but you should give miui v6 a try )

I'm in the same position as him. Which one would you suggest for stability and battery? For camera I'm gonna use fv-5 I guess it will take the same picture on all the roms, I also like cm based roms such as blisspop or nightlies, but I want to make sure I have a good battery and stable rom..
CloudyG2 best for me so far.
Quetzal ROM is the best, smooth and stable never found any bugs and you have an iOS status bar

Is there anything to know before I start to flash new ROM to my G2?
What I should do to avoid to get myself a brick?

You just got your G2. Give it some time. While testing the stock rom learn about the device and read some guides. Flashing stuff to a device you don't know anything about is the worst. Don't hurry.

check my sig mate for some links
1. Root your D802 with Stump Root
2. Autorec for D802
3. Flash TWRP 2861 by blastagator
4. BACKUP BACKUP
a. EFS
b. Sensor
c. Modem
d. Full Backup (/data /system /boot)
5. Flash your chosen ROM
a. GAPPS
b. SuperSU
Note: read the O.P. of your preffered ROM twice or more 'coz of the Baseband or Bootloader requirements.
Avoid Over Heating your G2 for screen damage (black lines, etc)
good luck!

In the same boat for D802, just did mine to regular cm12. blisspop and ressurection had borked dt2w for me. Cm12 05/08 for me has working dt2w and is very stable and polished, more so than the other 2 imo, but the camera leaves much to be desired. The earlier step by step reply was good but i used the following root then autorec instead (made sense since they were on the same page)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
Both programs work well and are super easy to do, as long as you can set up adb for the root program on that page. the blastagator twrp mentioned earlier is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
only thing you may need to fiddle with is the bootloader/ baseband. (baseband = modem, which took me a while to figure out). stock roms might not need changing but aosp roms like cm need a JB bootloader. e.g. cm12 needed a JB bootloader (autorec flashes a KK one) and either a JB/KK baseband, but this is advice specific to cm. you need to search and figure out what combo. Came from a N4 where this was all super easy, doing it on a g2 is a bit more difficult
