why we can't use boot.img?
[Galaxy Ace II General] antonio8297:
Because the ace2 have one partition for recovery and kernel.

But i think the dev of Ace 2 use the same method of s2 for flash via recovery

I know this elementary things, but why we can't flash kernel during rom's flash? I've tried to include it in update.zip, but nothing, it can't flash with rom package..

try to put kernel.bin.md5 in your zip rom.

Ace 2

So our phone is dead...no Oc kernel,no ics/jb....
[Galaxy Ace II General] forbidden8:
Wtf... NO its not dead! You can still use it like a normal smart phone. Easy mate it will have JB but if if you want fast updates better to buy some Nexus device. Galaxy Ace 2 is mid/low end phone, dont expect too much from him. Have many other better phones that still wait JB update so...

Send from Galaxy Ace 2 i8160.

So guys, what is the problem with gb? Is really fast and smooth actually, and the update is not needed as necessary,if it came is good, otherwise is a really good phone too

[Galaxy Ace II General] mojito0:
well taking example from myself, I like playing with my phone, currently probably because of gb we have..how many devs ? maybe 4 maybe 5 I guess (mostly for roms/kernels) so we have at max 1 kernel and 2 or 3 active roms while some other port ones which I know for sure are dead(no updates from the one who ported it) I'm not saying that the phone is dead but yeah.
[Galaxy Ace II General] michal89chz:

Nexus?Yeah..I have... Nexus 4 and this is **** right now...temperature is to high after 10min and cpu clock go down...mayby update help but now that phon is ****...

Oc kernel

Can someone explain me why we dont have OC kernel?Why nobody dont want/cant do this for our phone?People dont want this?We dont have sorce or what?
[Galaxy Ace II General] yethz:
IMHO + Gingerbread has nice icon elements than ICS or Jelly Bean, so, I am not too excited with the Jelly Bean updates on our devices...

If JB comes out for our ACE 2, I will definitely mod myself to look like Gingerbread LOL...
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Yeah. GB is colorful compared to the white and blue holo. My proof is Samsung's Touchwiz JellyBean that pretty much looks like GingerBread. What I want to see with JB is project Butter and other "improvements", so yeah.
[Galaxy Ace II General] yethz:
It looks like we have same tastes in customization... :D

Am so dying on butter and overall improvements on JB...

About icons I love the AOSP Gingerbread icons and UI elements...

In other words, yes we can have an OC kernel but since we lack the information that mkel mentioned we would probably burn the processor, well this would not be much of a problem if only it was a much cheaper device but yeah xD I would not risk my device just to get 1 or 2 hundred more Mhz

[Galaxy Ace II General] titomax82:
Dear, very dear (you know) mkel91, some MHz more = some frame per second more, this is something like physic, always true.

If you say that 200MHz/cpu clock more can give, for example, only +4 fps, while Jellybean can give us at least 10 fps more, I agree with you... But I do not agree if you say that performance won't increase with higher clock. Sometimes, 5 fps more make the difference between laggy and smooth games! (for example from 26 fps to 31).

Jellybean is more important than OC... that's ok, but even OC can give some improvement
[Galaxy Ace II General] mkel91:
Tito I agree with you, but I have s advance too, and testing the same game, performances are the same, just 1 or 2 fps more for s advance

You know that there is a difference between CPU and GPU?

If you want to have more frames you need to overclock GPU.
[Galaxy Ace II General] titomax82:
I perfectly know the difference between CPU and GPU... but to obatain more frames per second, you can overclock CPU "or" you can overclock GPU. Maybe overclocking GPU, by 10% for example, can give more boost compared to overclocking CPU (the same %), but even overclocking CPU you can obtain more fps.

Considering that we still have no CPU oc and considering that GPU oc is something harder, I can't hope in GPU oc, but CPU oc is a real hope.
[Galaxy Ace II General] michal89chz:
Oc

I sorry for my language, this is not my language. OC allways give beter performance.What we can do to get that OC kernel?Wheare we must look for it?We need some tables from ST Ericson with voltage?Somting more is needed too?If we OC our phone from 800mhz to 1200mhz we can get 800mhz boost!(like another core!) - this must give big difrence.
[Galaxy Ace II General] hafidzduddin:
1200mhz not good oc in our devices.

i think 1000mhz is max.

if our phone 1000mhz without oc.

max hz is 1200mhz
[Galaxy Ace II General] Messi10:
i think the original is 1000mhz but our phone underclocked to 800mhz
[Galaxy Ace II General] WiCiO_MeDi:
you think right (source)

apart from smoother advanced (graphicaly) games, what will oc give you that you don't already have?

i would prefer CM, aosp or even ics/jb update over OC since i like my phone to work for few days and not hours ;)

oc means also higher temps which lead to faster degrade of battery capacity.

Like arroyo said, they're all 2.3.6. I always try to get news update from sammobile starting from 1st january, but JB for Ace2 is still too far far away.

EDIT:

Btw, when JB is coming, can I update directly using 'Software Update'? I use custom ROM by Kyrillos, nothing happen when I select 'Software Update' at the moment.

Or maybe I need to download the whole FW then install/flash it using Odin?
[Galaxy Ace II General] kyrillos13:
You cannot update Over The Air with custom kernel-recovery-rom. :) You should flash your country's latest firmware with odin and then update to Jelly Bean through kies (or OTA if available) or flash the JB firmware with odin.
[Galaxy Ace II General] sdke:
You will have to go back to an original firmware.. I have a backup of my orginal with trwp.. But I think that via odin it will go faster
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Full FW flash via Odin takes more than 4mins. on my pc System restore on my phone takes less than 200 secs. Don know if my pc is slow or if my phone is just fast. Nah. its because it just restores the data/system partition and not the whole 400-600MB.

[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
If you owned this phone three months ago, you would have lost your warranty. Flashing stuff using Odin which did not come directly from samsung will increase the counter, but with the advanced rooting process, you can root this phone and the counter would remain unhanged.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Bilgets:
What happened three months ago o_O? And how'd you know if it come directly from samsung or not?
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Three months ago, we were only able to have root access by flashing an update zip using a modified kernel (which we had to flash using Odin, thus incremented our counter and we had to do that every time we had test a rom/reflash) counter will remain unchanged as long as you flash stock samsung FW or one of the pre-rooted stock roms you can find here in the forums.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Bilgets:
That mean as long as it's not the kernel, it's safe, right?
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
As long as you flash

unmodified STOCK ROM

and

if u want to flash a rom by odin, is there a need of wiping data?

[Galaxy Ace II General] kyrillos13:
Quadrant

benchmark

isn't so much off topic for development. A normal user wouldn't care about the phone scores or custom firmware. The benchmarks are related to cpu/gpu etc, so its not like how to change the phone's ringtone or how to send an file.

xda have their own forum moderators to do this job. Its better not to write anything about the off-topic and let the moderators to do their job, because if you do, you will spam the thread more, and more and more... e.g. look above, there are 4 extra posts (five with mine) about the quadrant "spam".

[Galaxy Ace II General] WiCiO_MeDi:
@fifo171

it differs for devices, Sony Xperia had ICS through OTA.

prerooted packages have only /system partition on it, so you must flash the stock firmware to get the kernel and modem files
