Hi there...about the unroot?

Someone can create the unroot.zip file?

@Corradosje:

please read the thread a little bit more precise. You could read, that you just need to reflash the stock kernel. This is also added to this thread.

You know and read the rules? First read and inform yourself and after ask....please!!!

gta, max payne, rockstar games works perfectly! Tested by me. But gameloft games (gangstar rio, nova 3) have lags. But, I think, they will work perfectly also, after we get overclock kernel, so, you can buy this phone even to play games.

Warranty forgotten... so how it can be possible? system storage and usb storage of phone combine as one and leave the micro sd as secondary storage. application, games, and other be stored at micro sd. Anybody? does anyone here try that one? Because USB storage of phone just leave as 1.10 Gb if rooted and interchange with the SD. So, if we merge it to the system storage it can also help or add space to the system storage. Right..

ill tell you the whole story

i want to install modern combat 4

i downloaded apk+data

it crashes in loading screen

some people had the same problem

so someone uploaded tb files

i extract this file i get .properties file and .zip file

they told me to copy these 2 files to sdcard/titaniumbackup folder

thats what i did

but this confusing thing go to titanium backup and restore?

how could i restore

is there any button i should press for options

please help and tell me how to restore and thankyou
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Der-Knuffi:
If you start titanium, you get three buttons on the top. The middle one is "Restore/Backup" - press it.

If you put the files to the correct folder, you should be able to finde the name of the programme in the list of tools when you press the "Restore/Backup" button.

That's all I could help you.

Just google it, it's very easy to find. They make some games that are incompatible with our device playable, for example games only for tegra can be played with Nvidia plugin.

Btw I have something to ask. My brother has xperia mini pro which is single core 1ghz and Adreno 205 with ICS. I noticed that his interface in applications and game animations are much smoother. Like Temple Run and Adw Launcher UI. Is this because of his 1ghz processor or his Ice Cream Sandwich?

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yowanvista:
Project Butter in Jelly Bean will provide a lag-free experience. Don't forget that kernel 3.x features many improvements over 2.6. Vysnc for example will make the interface more responsive. General performance should be better too.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samer menla:
for example if you know modern combat 3 and modern combat 4 lags on ace but doesnt in s advance

so will official jellybean fix this problem or not

thankyou
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yowanvista:
You have to take into account the software factor, the U8500 SoC with the Mali-400 can handle almost anything at an acceptable performance level but without proper software (Graphics libs) you won't likely have a decent experience, it's up to Samsung to provide proper software. Jelly Bean will obviously provide many performance enhancements but it's too early to say by how much.

Do note that large games like Modern combat 3 & 4 won't work due to the low amount of storage on the SDcard partiton of the Ace2. You'll either have to swap the external with the internal memory using a modified vold.fstab or use some kind of App that changes the mount points of the partitions.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samer menla:
ive already modified vold.fstab and already downloaded modern combat 3 and 4 both lags?is this ace 2 is weak or maybe im download the apk for s2 that ace 2 cant handle?

if there is anything i could stop this lag please tell me

if not well just wait till jellybean
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axelroll:
the phone can run almost every game in the market, if the s2 can run it the ace 2 can run it to (basically because they both have Mali-400 GPU)

we just have to wait untill jelly bean, because the lag is a gingerbread problem.

PD: thats what i think, correct me if im wrong :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messi10:

lol i dont know these things

i modified vold.fstab and i have 16 gb internal now?

what does i do?

if i buy 32gb will modern combat 4 and 3 stop lag or i should wait for jellybean?

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yowanvista:
They indeed have the same GPU but the SII has the Mali-400MP4 (Quad Core) while the Ace 2 uses the single core variant. The performance will by far be inferior to the SII

XXLD8 Root-Problem

Hello everyone!

I used the instructions from antsm and did the root XXLD8. After that I did not notice any changes in your phone. I installed root checker and there we read "Due to security concerns, Google bans applications from providing root access.Will not root this device. Will verify proper root installation."

How to Google bans, whether to set something else on the phone before root?

I turned on usb debugging.

I know this is kinda un-related but hey, this is better than opening a new thread. I'm a noob, put it that way. I am also aware this has been asked a million times before but in various forms.

So; I've managed to dig out a few guides on how to root my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 but none on how to install Clockwork Mod recovery on it or any kind of NAND backup. There are tonnes of guides for the Galaxy Ace, but none for the Galaxy Ace 2 and I've been warned not to use Galaxy Ace guides on a Galaxy Ace 2.

Can someone lead me to a tutorial on rooting my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 where I can also create a NAND backup and with instructions on how to restore original firmware. I'm not that much of a noob that I've never used Linux infact I use it all the time but Android is fairly new to me.

I read somewhere, someone bricked their phone while trying to root their phone then installing the custom CWM kernel later. So I'm not sure.. Either way I just want to root then backup.

EDIT: Meh, I am fairly stupid. Found my answer in the first thread I looked at today, I believe it contains an original I can flash back to if I have any problems: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27610432&postcount=31.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arroyo:
@mcguolo

This is not true, that "S advance" and "Ace 2" share the same hardware. In fact i9070 and i8160 share only the same CPU, the rest is different. I thought like you untill I started to dig in kernel sources for i8160. Examples, what is different:

- screen and its drivers

- sensors and its drivers

- radio and its drivers

- power management (CPU clock) and its drivers

- partitions strucure

- technical detaile (case, motherboard n stufff....)

Just compare GT-I9070_defconfig and GT-I8160_defconfig from kernel source codes. Codina and Janice are not the same!

It is like saying that Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy SIII are the same. They both have Exynos 4412 and share the same source codes but both are totally different devices.
