[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nach0x:
in argentina, for the price is a good phone.

btw my dad has a milestone 3 with a stock fw and it lags as hell, that is not a cheap phone.

here all the people have blackberry 8520 ( more expensive than sga) and it has a horrible camara, screen, etc

maybe in your country is cheaper
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhibnl:
Well after reading the whole thread i just wanna say, if you're talking about ace, lags will always be there. We don't have high end hardware in our device nor android used full HW acceleration( it does now in ics/jb i guess) but the thing is, hardware must also be capable. I tried almost every rom here and so far vo-1's, apocalypse and koogly'd mokee are the snappiest. Stock roms always lag a little. But we can live with that i guess. The new adreno libs along with build.prop lines surely works but according to me, we must wait for a fully working ics/jb rom for graphical performance( atleast in ui) but we have to pay a little prize, battery life. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhibnl:
Btw one more thing, i'm using imaginary ics now. Removed some system apps, no script at all, ketut's b84 kernel, cpu smartassv2 245-787 and you know what, it's running silky smooth. Though scrolling is always slow on xda app :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falc0nPuls3:
So I guess we have come to the point where we could all admit ace is a shi* device and Samsung sucks and the only solutions are basically ics/jb or better phone or some really smart home launcher that doesn't exist at the moment.

I think Chinese devs could make some app like that do we have any Chinese dev in this forum or any hacker or something ?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falc0nPuls3:
You can play some high end games but not any high end multiplayer which really sucks like if you go on play store and type in brother in arms 2 free plus it will show up as compatible (its a really cool game it reminds me of good old days on cod 2 and 5) well you can play that without almost any lag but as soon as you go online oh God the touch screen wont respond properly, ( it wont lag though it's just the bloody touch) Nova is much better though. Absolutely no lag in campaign but a little lag online and the touch issue

where can i get the link to the rom

I tried googling for the rom, and i downloaded the rom from MoDaCo, but when it finished downloaded, it's not written as .zip file.

I tried to place the entire folder in the sd card, but when go thru the TWRP recovery, of course, i couldnt find any .zip file.

Anybody can help?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jji7skyline:
This is a common problem. Open Safari, then press Command + (comma). This opens your preferences. Untick the option of automatically opening 'safe' files which is automatically unzipping your zip files. Now you can redownload the ROM and find the zip in your Downloads folder :)

Root Kindle Fire (not HD)

Hi All.

This is the only guide I can find for Mac OS but I have a few problems.

After Recovery it says...

"You can use TWRP which has been installed by the previous guide to install ROMS, backup the current system and recover from any problems."

Where is the previous guide?

In installing a ROM it says...

"11. Choose the ROM .zip file which you placed on the sdcard. I hope you named it something easy to remember and identify."

A Kindle Fire doesn't have an SD card slot, and the instructions say nothing about saving a ROM to one.

I'm sorry but there are so many guides about the HD but the Fire seems to be an orphan child. The Kindle Fire is pretty useless as standard, the browser is the most awful thing I've ever seen.

Thanks for posting and sharing a great resource.

I understand that perhaps this app is a bit dated because when I went to download the app, install it, it seems to be corrupted. Each of the apps were broken and could not install them. I left a message to the developer on his blog to update the app or re-upload it.

Does anyone have this app that can be reloaded or one that can be installed on a MAC 10.85 Mavericks?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
The SGH-I717 is the North American Galaxy Note and it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 clocked at 1.5GHz. Qualcomm integrates the radios, modems, etc. directly onto the SoC in the case of the Snapdragon. These are of entirely different design than what's used in Exynos powered devices. Not only would it not work, it could conceivably damage the I9300. Although more than likely, you'd either brick your device, or bork your wireless connectivity. Don't try it.
