@ samer menla

I have both devices in home. Ace 2 and S Advanced act the same in games. Its true that when you are gamer you should stay with GB. Also I think Ace 2 is a bit better because of geourgeous screen and better battery life. It is just right positioned below S Advanced due some cropped functions (ambient light sensor, gyro).

To make Modern Combat 4 to run at full speed you need to mod APK file with this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2052649 . There is file (Mode 0) which will help you to set low graphics level. You won't notice difference between low and high graphics settings on 3.8 iches screen.

To make games generally run better on JB set:

- governor Performance or Ondemand and scheduler - deadline

- disable Power Saving Mode in settings

- disable auto screen tone in screen settings

- buy really fast micro SD card (class 10 or UHS) and do vold.fstab trick - it will help with loading times since internal EMMC chip in Ace 2 is terrible

- use Kyrillos V7b rom
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samer menla:
ok thankyou for helping and i already did the lowest graphics and there is a little difference

and why on 3.8 inch screen there is no difference?

and please if buy modern combat 4 from play store will it run smooth?

and sorry im noob i dont know if my memory card is class 10 or uhs

the thing i know is that my micro sd card is 16gb

i already did the vold.fstab trick

so did s advance run modern combat 4 with lowest graphics same as ace 2 or faster because it has 4.0 screen and jellybean offcial

thankyou for answering my questions
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arroyo:
1. If you are thanking someone ... click THANKS button under post

2. do not quote whole post if you are posting right under

3. why on 3.8 inch screen there is no difference? - Cause graphics details between high and low settings are too small to bee seen by human eye on <7inches screen in MC4.

4. and please if buy modern combat 4 from play store will it run smooth? - No it won't. You need to mod it with the tool from my link.

5. and sorry im noob i dont know if my memory card is class 10 or uhs - take out your card and check what is written on it (class 2,4,6 or 10 or UHS)

6. S Advance speed in MC4 is the same as in Ace 2. To run MC4 smooth you still need to mod APK. Only in some benchmarks you will be the small performance difference between those two phones.

Did it work before? Without problems?

If yes,

Connect Phone

Go to "Device Manager"

See if some hardware have problems, if no hardware has problems

Find ALL hardware related to I8160

Delete/Uninstall. But do not delete the drivers from the computer.

Reconnect phone.

Click "Scan Hardware Changes"

It will install the drivers again, do not use drivers from Windows Update.

You have to change something i don't know whats in english but in german its "umgebungsvariablen"

Sorry for my bad English i will search for an guide

Java: http://www.java.com/de/download/

JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

First install Java and JDK

Put the apktoolfile to C:\ (You havent to put anything else here. NO FRAMEWORK.APK)

And There is an guide with pictures(They are in german sorry):

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

Here you have to give the Path ";C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin" (without"")

Put your apk`s into the same folder than apktool

Then Press Then press the Windows-button+R and open "cmd"

Then write cd c:\apktool (Press Enter)

Then write java -jar apktool.jar if Framework-Res.apk (Press Enter)

Then write java -jar apktool.jar d NAME.OF.YOUR.APK.apk (Press Enter)

Now you can edit your app

to Re-compile the app open cmd and write java -jar apktool.jar b NAME.OF.YOUR.apk (Press Enter)

You can find your app under C:\apktool\NAME.OF.YOUR.APK\dist

I used this Guide and it works. if you have any questions please ask me.

Flash counter

Hi, everybody knows, that we can root our phones without increasing flash counter. We also know that there is possibility to push kernel with custom recovery via adb, also without "moving" that counter.

But what about custom roms (there are mainly 4 of them: Kyrillos, JellyCream, Jetmod port and Supressed rom)? there are contradictory informations in rom topics.

Do you have prerooted firmware? because you need root to apply kernel with custom recovery without increase of flash counter.

download one of kernels with recovery you are interested in (CWM? TWRP recovery recommended)

Extract kernel if it's in zip package to achieve something like this:

kernel.bin.md5

next put kernel.bin.md5 to /sdcard

and in terminal emulator (download it from google play) write:

su [enter]

dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 [enter]

reboot [enter]

after phone reboot you will have kernel with custom recovery...

P.S. Newest kernel is here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7025vakvp3ih5c9/eX_Kernel_v1.tar.md5

I'm thinking about buying the Galaxy Ace 2, as an upgrade from SE Xperia Neo. I've read some reviews, and it seems like a pretty decent phone, despite the low developer count (although developing should get a boost when Android 4.x update finally arrives).

And maybe some other pros/cons that you can tell me?
