@tomfuegue: I know, it is a little bit work for you, but you have to undetstand, we can not explain every time for new, if sombody is too lazy for reading the thread.

You have to check approx. from the page 4 the posts from 'antsm'. somewhere there he uploaded the kernels with 3 different Cpu clock. You can only flash for overclock. It is not yet possible over App.

Just a question regarding the ACE2 models with NFC, which have a Kernelversion I8160PXXLE6: can be root the phone with your kernel?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomfuegue:
Muchas gracias tío, ¿tú a qué velocidad has puesto la CPU?, ¿Se nota la subida en el uso normal?, ¿es seguro hacerle ese overclock al micro, es decir, es un micro capado a 800MHz que seguramente tenga una velocidad nominal de 1,2GHz o realmente estamos estresando la velocidad del micro?

Ok, thank you, read the thread then as you recommend.

- Rooted phone with antsm's kernel

Download:

How to install:

- Extract the contents to /sdcard/ and manually copy them to the folders :) Set owner to 0.0 & permissions to 644.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Komsung:
Battery will quite quickly go down to the level of 98-99%. But there is nothing to worry about. It is normal for li-ion batteries. This number represents true level of energy for this kind of battery and real level of effectiveness. Battery is still fully charged.

I have some file about this but unfortunatelly only in polish.

Success with Heimdal

Hey guys! Just want to tell everyone that I succeeded rooting my new Ace 2 according to the procedure of antsm, even with Heimdal on Mac OS. I used 1.3.1 because I read of some compatibility issues with newer versions. Just unzip the tar.zip provided by antsm. It will be a kernel.bin.md5 and use it to flash with heimdal flash --kernel ... in commandline or insert it in Kernel partition in heimdal-frontend.

What's more to add, the first kernel ready to be rooted didn't work for me. Maybe I had unpacked it wrongly in Mac OS so Heimdal gave me a Loke handshake error. After I unpacked the 1000Mhz kernel with Unarchiver one after one, it took my file and flashed OK! Of course I'm now unable to exactly boil down what caused the first error, but maybe this information is useful to someone nevertheless.

Cheers! ...now going to go to clean up this little jewel of phone :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milky_:
Thats right, but those 98-99% immediately after charging annoy me. I tried "Battery Calibration" procedure, but nothing. Anybody have proposed a solution :confused:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itasoulas:
battery life seems pretty nice...1day 13 hours and still 5% left. Battery was not fully charged and placed in phone after unboxing. Waiting for phone to shut down and charge to 100%. Then I will start work on this sucker.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Komsung:
According to opinions from recognized battery producers (like Cadex Electronics) there is no possibility to calibrate li-ion battery. This is because of simple reason-

this battery is already calibrated

. "Battery Calibration" procedures, like deleting of battery stats thru recovery, are just myths. The phone will recreated them using data from internal phone chip as well as from battery chip.

As I said this state with 98% is something normal. You can unplug charger and plug it again and give additional voltage to battery. You will have your 100% for a little bit longer (but for the cost of battery life in longer perspective).

Live with that and have fun with your Ace 2. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurcos:
For me, similar as already mentioned by others, this does only seem to change the displayed value but not the actual CPU frequency. And thank you very much for the rooting procedure :)

So what we still missing is OC for the Ace 2 (and custom ROMS and ICS), anyone?

Hi,

Well I can not confirm this really. I posted here approx. 2 weeks ago my measurements before and after overclocking. I flashed the 1000 MHz kernel. The Results were:

The results before flashing:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Name:

MFLOPS:26.935

ROM: GT-I8160

Notes: 800.00MHz Multi-Thread samsung/GT-I8160/

GT-I8160:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/XXLD8:user/release-

keys

Name:

MFLOPS:32.331

Notes: 800.00MHz Single-Thread samsung/GT-I8160/

GT-I8160:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/XXLD8:user/release-

keys

------------------------------------------------------------

After flashing:

------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Galaxy ace2/Frankfurt

MFLOPS:51.675

ROM: GT-I8160

Notes: 1000.00MHz Multi-Thread samsung/GT-I8160/

GT-I8160:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/XXLD8:user/release-

keys

Name: Galaxy ace2/Frankfurt

MFLOPS:32.747

Notes: 1000.00MHz Single-Thread samsung/GT-I8160/

GT-I8160:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/XXLD8:user/release-

keys

As you can see, the Multi-Thread measurement with 1000 MHz is mutch higher than with 800MHz (51.675 vs. 26.935 MFLOPS). Single Thread did not improoved. I don´t know really why...

I asked Antsm as I did the test, but he didn´t asnwer. :rolleyes:

hi dears ..

after upgrading to ICS

Skype ca't sign in and a message show about enable video calling after that

this problem occurred on stock rom xxlpw and the CM9 tablet mode !!

what is the solution please ??

thanks ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaeilge:
1. did you got a message after installing Skype that it's not compatible for video calls on your device? if so, did you confirm you still want to use it?

2. did you try simplest solution - go to apps menu, clear all Skype data, uninstall and install again?

3. while being on stock FW was your phone rooted? I do not know how about other user but Skype FAQ page says:

"Skype does not support rooting and Skype is not responsible for errors or crashes, which result from modifications to the underlying Android OS."

4. it seems the bug is quite known:

[HTC One X] liquidguru:
Thanks for the reply. Titanium Backup cannot freeze it.

I want to disable it as I'm using a replacement app and whenever I receive a SMS I get it twice, once in both apps. The fix is to disable the stock message app, but I can't see how to do it :)

Yes

Hmm i am not sure about this app ... but you can disable notifications in the stock messaging app: open stock messenger --> settings --> notifications and there you can disable everything ;)
[HTC One X] liquidguru:
Thanks again for the reply, but the notification isn't the problem. I get the message twice, in the both apps. So in both stock and the ICS Messaging I get the message twice.

I tried turning off notifications and it didn't help (worth a try though :) )
[HTC One X] muamers:
Oh, now i understand :D No, its not possible ... all the message apps are working on the base of the stock (i think), thats why you cant disable it.

You could try to set a wrong Service center number in the original app, and the right SCN in the one you will use ;) give it a try and report back :)
[HTC One X] liquidguru:
There seems to be no way to set the SCN in the ICS app, so no go on that one. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll just have to go back to stock, no biggie :)
[HTC One X] muamers:
To be honest, i dont even know whats the difference between that two apps, the stock one looks great to ... the only thing why i use GoSMS is that you can block messages and set a private box, and theres no message/call blocker that can satisfy my needs for now ... i like the stock one more, but what can i do :)
[HTC One X] paplo:
You can't disable the sense message app but you can turn the notifications off if you go to SMS - settings - messages :)

I would like to start a discussion about power drain on the roms mentioned in the title.

I am finding my only choice of roms are those based on stock. My issues are as follows...

I am a lorry driver.. And i use navigation quite alot. I have found that when running anything aosp based.. And using maps.. My in car charger simply cannot keep up with power drain. Ok my sat nav will last most of the day.. But even on charge.. It will eventually die.

However, when running anything stock based.. My charger is perfectly adequate to keep the charge topped up.

Why is there such a big difference? You would have thought stock would have alot more bloatware related stuff going on in the background?!

Its obvious to me now.. Where the money goes into power management on stock software. Surely we could invest some more time into power management on aosp??

Because of my choice of career.. I am now limited to stock based roms.. And im really missing all the funky stuff you get from aosp stuff.

Anyone else have the same issues??
