Hey I just wanted to start a discussion about Galaxy Aces.
What have you done to your Ace that makes it different, you got a rom installed? Added a sticker? Anything! I just wanna see what different things people have done with a budget phone like the Ace and that way everyone can give it a go!
I guess I'll start, only thing I've done is installing a bunch of roms tryna find a good one ... still haven't found that special one for me but I have found a theme for the one I'm using now! Adrenaline is what I'm using now for those who were wondering.
So yeah, what have you guys done?
So...i rooted it,installed cwm recovery and installed apocalypse rc3(perfect rom....abd i have tried atlest 20 roms....)

Cool! I've rooted and install CWM Recovery as well and I tried apocalypse for like 2 seconds
I'm wondering whether or not to go back to it since I'm currently searching around for some new roms. Hows the battery life on Apocalypse? =

If I can't find something that makes my battery life last longer then I'm tempted to switch to a more powerful Android phone, which I don't want to do because I love my Ace!
Rooted and installed a custom rom after a day I bought it. Had my 1st soft brick. Learned many things about android and now Im on MIUI GB by xxxMADxxx that will be released soon. Currently testing it but I think this will be my permanent rom.

It eats roms for breakfast, and has turned back from the bright light at the end of a bad flash one time too many. Quite a piece of work this little phone.
Running cm7.2 for quite a while now, a few prop tweaks, and sd partition, simple just works.
If cm9 and cm10 get stable enough I'll return to my ace-genocidal ways.

About customization, I bought "Case Mate" plastic cover for my lovely Ace. Once I was doing pull ups and other stuff outside, the phone itself flew away out of my pocket on the asphalt. Plastic cover saved the screen lol. Only a little scratch on the chrome rim. But it's barely visible.

So.. why are you running a custom ROM? Give reasons
I ran it because mainly of battery life and awesome speeds
Post yours here so maybe others will flash a custom ROM too.
You can also post what you personally do after you flashed if you'd like

Mainly because roms make our phones like they should have been....I mean with a computer can you not custmise stuff the way you want? Why not a android also..That and because I am kind of a geek when it comes to making my phone opped out as much as possible...
And also because it helps the following scenario...lol:
Newish to android geeky girl walks up to me and says, "Oh, I see you have a Vibrant? That phone sucks because it doesn't have basic stuff like working GPS or Froyo." then I can reply by saying, "Mine does, here let me introduce you to the world of flashing...and no that's not a euphemism."
I wanted to be rooted and for some reason the stock rom didnt way to stay rooted so, bam, nero v3. No more un-rooting problems.
Stock is gay.
Custom is good.
Some guys tune thier cars & some guys tune their electronics.
its only natural to want to get your moneys worth out of a device.
I paid full price for my Vibrant (couldn't upgrade)
Had I not figured out how to load better roms.. I prolly would have thrown it through the window of the Tmobile store, or at the samsung corporate office.
Only because it uses some tweaks for speed up and fixes those little enjoying bugs?

I run a custom rom so i can play Dungeon defenders smoothly.
I rooted because I wanted to try new apps that were only available on froyo. Other reasons were o wanted to unleash the full potential of this beast. Its much snappier with an improves battery life. I wanna say 'thank u samsung' for making me go ahead and root coz u were not willing to update ur flagship phone in a timely manner.

110% reason to run custom
Speed. Lag fix and overclocking. I wouldn't have had a reason at all if Samsung didn't use RFS. I can honestly live without froyo, it is nice though. I probably still would have rooted anyway just because The only gizmo I haven't modded yet is my PS3. As soon as it's confirmed sony can't block psn use and there is a safe proven method to get back to stock it will be done.

Eh, I wouldn't say so. I've had mine now since September. I flashed one of the first Team Whiskey Froyo roms in November, I believe. Since then I've tried mixing up roms a couple times a month. Recently I installed an FFC and CM7...which I hope to stick with for a while now.
I know what you mean though. You just have to keep yourself busy with it because there really aren't THAT many phones which can keep par with ours. I've had my share of iPhones before this phone, and I was amazed by the capabilities of this compared to that or the original Nexus
So.. Its NOT just me who thinks this! Whew! Boy am i glad.
Anyways i just dont get those orgasams from flashing roms anymore.
I havent flashed a rom in 1 abd a half weeks!!!
I know right I loved it
It was so exciting
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I guess it's a matter of where your preferences lie. I know that when I was trying out new ROMs, it was like Xmas morning - opening presents to see what new gifts I'm getting. But at this point, I just need the phone to do what a phone does.
Once I installed, Trigger 2.6, I hung up the whole trying out new ROM thing, and just enjoyed the stability. I still love the Vibrant every time I pick it up. There are little quirks that get to me, but the screen is really really nice.
I get that once in a while, but then again I anticipated it. I know at some point, it'll just be a phone to me, and I'd use it as a tool and not a toy. The problem is that there is always something bigger and better coming out and you'll never be satisfied with what you have.
The phone market changes daily. I still love my vibrant, it does everything I need it to do and no phone matches it's screen quality. I have also hung up flashing roms, at least until CM7 finishes Ginger
I don't see a phone that competes yet for me until SGS2 comes out. No point in buying a new phone until then.

I've used both..
as far as looks, trigger wins no doubt.
Speed both have it..
but for some reason sweet honey is a bit more snappier.
It's nice to know I'm also not alone. Don't get me wrong, I still love the phone and I don't see myself getting rid of it for any other phone for at least another 6 months, but it's lost that amazingness it used to have. I remember flashing my first rom (I think it was something by Sombionix before his TW days) way back in the summer. I remember waiting for GPS and then Froyo. I remember how great it was to get that very first Froyo leak and think "Now we are cooking!" Now developers are dropping like flies. Other phones have CM7 and it's completely stable yet our CM7 just feels too much like a beta. (I know most things work, but it's just not as stable as I need)
I think this phone, and the SGS in general, had so much potential, but it was ruined by crappy Samsung software. I can only imagine where we would be now if we had stock Android out of the gate. Once again, I love the phone, I just think it fell a little short of its full potential.
I thought I could get over not having a camera flash, but when I need it that makes me sad. The poor gps doesnt help my feelings either. I will keep it untill something I really want comes out.
I dunno, I'm pretty thrilled with my phone..... I flash a new ROM every week or two (latest is Frost). I love the multifunctionality of the thing, Samsung made killer hardware and TW's software is excellent. I for one am pretty sure I'll be sticking with Samsung for at least one more phone....
Only cons here are no camera flash and no 4g.
I am fighting with myself when It comes to flashing roms. I cant seem to flash away from simply honey.
So to deal with my need to flash I end up flashing other peoples phones!
Yup man especially when I had the g1 and the hero roms started to begin developing

I'm currently on EB01, voodoo undervolt kernel from imnuts07, and I'm quite liking it... but I'm slightly bothered by the severe drop-off in theme creation lately, because the Fascinate is, well, old. I hopped on the Fascinate train reeeeeal late and will have it for a while still... I've heard good things about CM 6.2.0 and CM7 (the ones JT put out, because he loves us all), especially involving themes, should I switch? I never use camcorder or BT calling, and only rarely use MMS; but is it worth the whole backup-wipe-restore pain in the ass?
Sorry for the wall of text. I worry quite a bit about my phone, but have a huge interest in moving it forward. Hell, I don't really have any problems with Touchwiz, but Cyanogenmod just seems kinda, I dunno... badass, or something.
Suggestions please?

Well, if you really want themes. Hop on CM7 and basically you can flash any CM7theme on http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
or wait couple weeks or months(depends on source drop) for better CM7.
Huh. That's actually really cool. Other than the few broken things and the amass of themes, is it that much different from what I have now?
there are dozens of themes available for froyo....you could flash 1 a day and it would take weeks to get through all of them
i dont see how this phone can be accused of having a lack of themes at all

well it slowed relative to how it was after froyo dropped as we had to report themes daily so for a month or two tons of stuff came out
but relative to the thunderbolt which is new...we still have just as many themes coming out....to each his own in preference
but one doesnt need 3 new themes a day
personally i used to port a lot of themes but as a grew as a themer i started getting into doing a better job and putting in more detail so things take longer...also i dont use others original work anymore....so im not putting out 2-3 a week anymore
Alright, not hopping after all, as after looking, the majority of those themes are for CM7, and Fascinate's CM7 is so broken....
I'm loving cm6...best performance to date by far...haven't even thought about jumping to cm7
**Rockin jt's CM6**
But how many themes are for CM6.2.0?
With all the personalization options...I don't need a theme. You can change items in the notification bar and colors of all texts and background colors. All built in

Yes, I've found out the hard way that even trying bt on cm7 forced a battery pull, so it's definitely not for everyone at this point. But it is _awesome_ to be running a usable gingerbread rom that I can build myself! (i love you jt)
cm6.2 is definitely more stable but exchange push issues led me to give cm7 a try. So far no exchange issues with cm7 but I won't know for sure until monday...
btw I noticed that cm6 had perfect audio on a2dp vs stock eb01 that was glitching on me at least every 15 min w/pandora.
noobidity update:
neglected wiping dalvik cache on first flashing which caused several issues that I wrongly attributed to cm7. A2DP _does_ work on cm7.

Hi,
So my old man has an S2, and while he loves it, having seen my Nexus 4, he fancies a bit of the Jelly Bean loveliness. Anyway, we tried to load the trusty Samsung Kies and do it the official route, only for it to hang forever on 'Connecting' (quality software Samsung :good: ). Now I've downloaded the official Samsung Jelly Bean ROM, I figured I'd stray on here first before jumping the gun.
Considering the guy using the phone is going to be an old geezer, not totally useless with phones but he isn't exactly that sharp with them either, would it be wise to stick with a stock ROM? Obviously the stock ROM can be rooted (he does have his GB rooted) so we can still access a number of the apps he uses but how are custom ROMs fairing with regards to battery life, and performance. I noticed a considerable drop in battery life when using Jelly Bean on my old i9000 but a large improvement in performance. How is it for the i9100?
I'm not asking for a ***** fight, I just want simple answers.
Stock vs Custom?
Battery better or worse?
Performance?
Yep thanks
i am going to answer your questions.
the rom doesnt make the battery life. kernel does. if you change your kernel battery life will be better. i say to try again but this time use a different kernel.
performance is better on custom roms, at least my opinion.
He's right.
Now, your dad wants stock JB, trust me.
I'm sure he's gonna use the device for calls, mail, browsing, camera and that's about it, he'll get 2 days of battery. If he gets less and start *****ing, flash a custom kernel and that's that.

Yeah he isn't much of a hacker. He does really use for calls, texting, email, browsing and camera, and not much else apart from the standard apps such as sports scores. He's not quite as keen as I was on an S1 when I was hacking everything and anything possible and tweaking the **** out of it lol!
OK, we'll give the latest version a pop, Italian XWLSD. We'll get that on, root it, then if necessary I'll flash a UK modem (not that Italian modems are much different I imagine, it isn't that far away).
Flash nordic.

OK, having seen the Multi-Window he fancies a bit of that lol!!! Yep, I know, I know, so I'm going to give him a custom ROM, with that feature, see what he says, and then if needbe, I can always flash back to stock.
Anyway, fancy recommending a good custom ROM with decent battery life and the multi-window mod?
I've been looking at RainBox, (elsewhere doesn't have a thread here for some reason) but also NeatROM has it and I'm quite impressed with that.
Unless it's possible to put the Multi-Window mod on XWLSD stock? Which would be good too, so if so, let me know
You should try AllienceRom.It has multiwindow and great battery life for me

haha true , you need to test the roms before you pick one ... but having a stable kernel is more important :silly:
Of course, the current kernel has some cool battery profiles which would be great in this new kernel. I've never been one to go for the massive performance thing, you gain about 0.1ms of time on apps loading, but by having a good battery kernel, you can save a lot of battery lol

I'm not happy with it.
It gets way too hot for my liking. Should have realized that an aluminum case will get hotter. That's my own fault.
Any AOSP based rom that's not GPe runs like garbage on mine so I've been running Sense because the GPe rom is just different enough from CM that it drives me crazy.
I don't like how flush the power & volume buttons are with the device. I usually lower & raise the volume with the phone in my pocket. It seems impossible to do that with this phone.
That said, anyone want to buy a rooted HTC One?
I dunno. Maybe I'll just have to get used to it. But the fact that CM/AOSP roms run like crap are almost a deal breaker for me.

When was that video taken, and what build was being used, what was this person's install procedure. The video has little to no proof of it running this horrible for people. I just got my One today so I'll be rooting and flashing over the weekend. I would put money down that it doesnt run this horrible.
