There's no efs folder on Ace, so you cannot make a backup of it.

efs = partition
partition =/=folder
And there is enough material written in ace forum itself about it so searching would definitely do job rather than inventing wheel right now
Of course I searched for it but I couldn't find anything... They are just saying efs folder very impt your imei and everything depends on it
They are apps also but only for higher end phones

In SGS you can find a folder, named efs, and you should make a backup of it, before you flash a new rom.
That's why I wrote, what I wrote.

"they" are not using sga..
Which developer in sga told you to do that??
Every phone is designed differently
No developer has told me anything. I have read many threads saying to backup efs folder without fail you can lose your imei and I don't want to lose mine . I couldn't figure out how to do it in sga
It'd be great if you could help me out rather than do this
@kmarci : if there isn't one then where is all the imei information stored? How do we backup it?
if anyone finds a safer way to do this then please let me know too...because i did ****ed up my efs files and lost my IMEI no.......... Samsung centers were not ready to fix it so i had to get local repairmen to fix it. costed me 10$

Hey guys... Great news an app called nitrality backup the efs folder
Try it out
It's just posted in the general section of sga 'how to recover imei.. ' thread
It gave a notification of efs backed up but in the nitrality/backup/efs folder its empty
See if it works for you all
(so close )
GUYS WE CANT BACKUP EFS FOLDER... IMPOSSIBLE IN ACE

If you're smart enough to mount /efs to backup and unmount /efs the manual way , you would have a backup , but unfortunately you will need to know how to create a new partition if you lose your efs

You can install a custom kernel and use setcpu. Make a profile of screen off and set the freqs to minimum. You can also switch to another rom. I recommend Smplicity by abhi922. You can also install Adernalin Engine. Regards.

For more you can visit http://whatswithtech.com/improve-android-battery-life/. If you ever need any help regarding your Ace-i, you can PM me.
thanks to both of you for replying. I've tried the stock ROM and it's basically the same with the battery life.
you mention above about installing a kernel, I'm really new to android and the whole OS and stuff so I have no idea what a kernel is or what it does. could you explain?
how would I install that ROM you're on about mate?
thanked both of you.

2 days battery backup isn't bad for android device..
and from my experience stock rom and custom rom gives same battery backup..
you can buy a higher power battery (which have more mAh rating) if you want better backup

thanks mate.
I've just installed the ROM that was stated above, I've also installed a custom kernel. now it's running fine and fast. install CWM (fyi, I couldn't do it before!) and the rom, kernal and module. hopefully this will sort out my battery life.
if I need anymore help or any question, I'll ask on facebook or here. thanks again. thanked you again.
If we use higher mAh battery doesn't the phone get hot while charging??

no,
just one thing should be taken care is that the voltage rating must be same as the original battery..
we are not increasing current..
we are just increasing the capacity of battery..
which will take more charging time and
give you more talk time

I am sure it is a stupid question, but...
Will Installing a new ROM (Galaxy S-3) delete all installed applications (the original ones and those I installed myself), and data?
This may be help you

sure you will lose ur all apps and data..
but you can use titiniaum backup app for backup of ur current apps and datas of those apps and you can restore that after flashing new rom via the titiniaum app
link of that app is below
