Aaah Samsung's touchwiz is smoother then Sony's launcher @fireheart2008 ?
Well i dont think so because my gf have an s3 and its not smoother then my XP with Sony's launcher and software and the touchwiz on Samsung devices eat alot of ram.
But go ahead install samsung software on your XP, Its sure your brick your device so dont blaim us then, its your own risk and we arent so far to make that work and like @SpaceCaker said: its not so easy todo !
Of you want that so badly, why you dont buy then a samsung -_-

not urgent, its just like a 10years-windows user trying ubuntu

I was saying, if you want samsung apps, there are leaks out there. If you want a samsung rom aka touchwiz, its hard.
Since my dad owns an S3 LTE,
1. I noticed that sleep to wake timing is 3 secs while my phone is about 1 sec.
2. Battery Life is horrible.
3. He uses 800 MB of ram after killing all the process in settings.

Speed and Power: If you're gonna use it stock-like, its gonna let you down. After you at least upgrade it to Gingerbread, the phone is gonna suck. Its really good afterwards. Then it depends what custom rom or scrips you want on it to make it even better.
Community: As you can see, we're here to help. But PLEASE for the love of god, GOOGLE BEFORE MAKING THREADS. We've been having problems with new noobs posting threads on every little issue they face. But as I can see, you're not new to XDA so we'll be glad to welcome you here.
Camera: The camera is awesome. 5MP and shoots 640x480 DVD quality video.
Price: It depends where you're getting it from and who you're getting it from. But from the prices I've seen it at, I can tell you its worth the money.
Get the Ace and join us!
Not trying to sound impolite but there was a few threads just like this one, they are pretty up to date. To summarize; the answer is no. Why? Since there are better alternatives.

Well, he's asking about the Ace for a reason. Otherwise, I'd recommend him to get a Galaxy S2.
He should try Xperia Mini.. Not sure about the community support for it though
if you can wait you might can get ace plus
Well, for starters, xperia mini will get official ice cream sandwich, ace will not. For me, that alone would be the reason for not buying ace. Camera is not great on either of them, though the one on ace should be better.
I'd go for the mini, or another phone, but not ace. At least wait for the plus version, that is if you must have an ace.
whats your budget?
if its big then answer is no
I wouldn't recommend Ace.
First even though 800 MHz is enough for most applications, it's A6 processor.
Internal memory is too low. Unless you tweak your phone, you can't install much apps.
RAM is also low.
No... I'm regretting my purchase now... Look for something like HTC explorer.

if u believe in above all and want mid range phone go for htc salsa because it have 800mhz+512 Mb ram and hve almost 1 day battery while regularlu use alot
wheras motrola defy also have same features and water resistable so u can make video while diving into water
both of camera quality is good
coming to galaxy ace because of its low RAM its not capable of multitasking but ya resale value is good but installing custom ROM speed is far good
it's actually a trade in for my old phone , my old w8 got spoiled alot of time in my hands..about 3 times in a month and my dad got pissed and asked for him to have a trade in ..my dad give him rm 200 while he give me a better phone ...still my budget is about RM700 pretty low ..i had a fren who have an ace but he says this phone is rubbish ..but the desgin is too darn nice its hard to pass..still i am planning to install roms on this phone if i have it ...it seems the review for tbhis phone not too good...
Its ok...The phone is outdated now though.If you have a budget,go with this one.If not,get an AcePlus or something familiar.My view,its okayish
kay..i will see
I don't recomend this phone. It never get official CyanogenMod 7,9 and official MIUI. Also it's probably never get official ICS update.
Look for something with better dovelopment background.
Get yourself a motorola defy if you like modding and all with full support...or else if you want an update of ICS officialy and hd video recording go for the Xperia Mini, all though its a ladies phone

Agreed..That few extra bucks is really worth it.Official MIUI and CyanogenMod support along with it being dust,water and...scratch proof?I forgot
No don't get an ace. It will be your worst nightmare since it is the worst phone with virtually no Samsung or xda developer support. And we do not want another f*** noob.

Merry Christmas lads, sorry for opening another one thread/spamming... I found xperia sola and xperia U at exactly the same price....which one shall i go for? Please answer me i need your suggestions! Thanks.
What do you like more? A colourful Illumination Bar or a Magical Display? Just Kidding
A perfect/good smartphone is good because of it's small great things, not because it has a Tegra 3 Processor or 2GB of RAM. Thats my Opinion
I think you should go into a electronic store and hold both devices in your Hand. The sola has a bigger Display and you can use it with gloves, yay So I would buy a Sola, but listen to your heart

I held a sola yesterday but when i surfed the internet it was a bit laggy...may because it wasn't updated to ics ? I don't know why....colours were REALLY beautiful too!
So, when you were kidding above did you really meant sth? Xperia U's screen can be compared with Sola's one? (forget the inches, talk about colours)
The internet thing: maybe the Ram was full?
Both displays have 16 millions colors and both have the Bravia Engine, so I don't think that there is a difference

I can't remember for the ram...
From the videos i have seen till now, Sola and U are exactly the same but U has only 4GB user accessible :-/ i think i can cover this problem witha usb adapter....you think that usb adapter will be annoying? Or will it be easy to get used to it?
Only reason why you should buy U instead of Sola is front camera. If you can live without it then Sola is better phone most definitely.
Also keep one thing in mind that both of these phones will NOT get official JellyBean from Sony. So if you are a fan of Stock manufacturer's firmware, you might want to reconsider buying either of these two phones.
Though, hopefully they WILL get unofficial JB Rom such as Cyanogen etc but it may take a long while to get everything working in these roms, there is also a chance that some features such as video recording may never work in an unofficial JB rom. So think before you buy
Nothing better than the stock rom
Go for a device that will get jelly bean
One more and last question guys...if I buy xperia sola and a freeze suddenly appears and as a result i must remove the battery to "unfreeze" it, what can I do then? I saw the battery is unremovable and it wories me a little.....any help? If there is a solution for this "problem" i will definately buy Sola,otherwise i am afraid i have to reconsider buying a new phone...
I think that there is a way to force reboot on such type of phones, something like power button and vol down...

On this phone you dont remove battery, you do vol + power untill the phone vibrates 3 times.
If i were you i would find samsung or HTC for the same money.

Yes bro
Everyone have their own preferences
I tried every rom present here
Bt I always get back to stock one
of course.... Xperia Sola is better than Xperia U... because Xperia Sola has external sd card whereas the Xperia U does not have... My friend's Xperia U running on stock ICS has the wifi bug... where he tries to turn off the wifi but the wifi still kept turning on... so.. consider Xperia Sola maybe? XD
Don't go for any of them s3 duos xperia go

after getting my Xperia Neo stolen I decided to go with Sola - as the 3.7" inch screen is perfect size for my hands. It is the minimum for me to be able to write text in portrait orientation (XU has 3.5" screen).
On the other hand I *hate* Sola's floating touch (or glove mode)! Main reason is that you cannot switch it off in games - what good is dual core processor if you are not able to control the game properly due to this floating touch nonsense? To name few: Triple Town, Temple Run, Muffin Knight, GTA3 and others are unplayable (even though the performace is ok). You can get rid of floating touch with different ROM (at the moment there are only two of them), but if you plan to game much, better go with XU...
Another thing to consider is that Sola goes crazy when on charger - it won't react correctly on touch - it think it is floating touch technology again to blame here... (don't know if the same problem occurs on XU)
You can google both of these problem - I would love to know about them before I have bought my Sola :/

Hi guys. This is not a "best rom" thread. I'd like some advice please.
A couple of months ago I rooted my girlfriend's xpu because she complained it was slow. I sympathise because I have an s3 mini with similar chipset and roughly the same specs, yet even my original stock rom was faster and more efficient.
I tried jbexperience and freexperia cm9.1. Both aren't exactly what I expected.
She regularly uses Facebook, whatsapp, email and plays candy crush and jewel star. On cm9.1 her battery life is horrible even with greenify and the phone is unstable. The ram fills up very quickly and the phone frequently reboots. She also had problems with apps that use webcoreview force closing.
Now as you can probably tell, I'm a veteran rom flasher and have been doing it for a long time on various phones. My old wildfire buzz and my son's hero are rooted with custom roms and are generally smoother and more stable than the xperia u. They are old and the hardware is ancient.
So my question for you lovely, fair members of the xperia u group today is, can you please recommend a stable and battery friendly rom for the xperia u?
Please don't say "this rom is best" or "this thread is bad", etcetera..
I can't try them all as my girlfriend has far less patience for this than I do.
Thank you for your understanding and patience, and please be nice.

Thank you. This looks more like the kind of thing I'm looking for. Gingerbread for a newer model, using less ram than ics crap. My gf will be happy with this although I'll probably need to modify play store to show more apps
Yes of course bootloader is unlocked
Is there a specific supercharged kernel you're talking of?
If there are any other roms you feel are worth mentioning please do Thanks again

Almost sure there is nothing faster than the Gingerbread version as just the core is going to take less resources.
Anyway for me the stock ICS 6.1.1.B.1,1.100 firmware works pretty well. For that one I just installed it, rooted, and removed some bloatware (just the ones that came with the ROM from the phone provider that released that firmware and an app that my own phone provider installs and some other apps I don't use like office suite and one or too more (some are apps you can even uninstall without root), but I removed nothing from Xperia apps). I didn't even installed anything else to enhance performance, no greenify not lag seeder and I'm pretty satisfied with performance. Facebook sometimes doesn't work as good as I would like to but in my opinion that's more a problem of facebook app which is a **** than a problem of the phone OS.
The last official release 6.1.1.B.1.1.54 firmware is horrible but that 6.1.1.B.1.1.100 works pretty well. I just tested only two more ICS ROMs and they didn't satisfied me more than the stock. I really prefer to continue with stock firmware and as It works really good for me that's what I choose.
By the way I don't think the game you mention is something to worry about. It is not one with a high resources requirement in my opinion. So it will work pretty well in any ROM with good enough performance.
Hey guys,
I hope u can help me with some advice.. the thing is that i need to choose between this 2 devices and is harder than i thought..
The thing is that some stuff I like at S3 some I don't and the same story with the xperia Z
S3:
+ Lots of futures and does a lot of great stuff (motion and bla bla)
+ It seems better optimized like the Z is more powerfull and it scores better in benchmarks.. but i see that ppl are saying that the S3 is better optimized, is that true ? (or it is not that obvious?)
+Speaker is better than the XZ...I don't listen music.. but I wanna hear my phone when it rings..
__________________________________________________________________________________
- It is older than the XZ... Will samsung provide updates for the next 2 years ? at least ?
- PLASTIC )) And I have 2 friends that said that their screen broke out of nowhere...
+/- I like both screens, I don't care about the cameras
I just want a phone that will last longer and runs android in normal conditions and feels like a quad-core..
Gimme some opinions..Please

I would choose the s3 my friend. My reason? Having owned a xperia z for a short period of time, I found the battery to be horrific and having to use power save just to get through a day. S3 however, battery is excellent and can easily handle my daily usage. Thats my reason. Choose wisely

This is the i9300 Q&A Forum, not the i9305 or Xperia Z Q&A forum
I'd get the Xperia Z personally.
The S3 is like a current day Ford Mustang or Dodge Charger. It has great specs and the engine sounds bloody great but in the end, it can't put all the power on the road and can only go in straight lines.

I haven't asked for a fully working rom. Samsung sucks, bad materials, physical home button (i hate it), bad displays (i hate amoled), ugly UI (i hate that too). If i want fully working ROM, i buy a qualcomm processor based device (i'll do it when i'll have money) or a Nexus.
And... Your post is useless! I'm not talking about buggy roms we have, i just asked for PA to be ported to xu.
