Don't overclock unless you feel you need to, you'll be shortening the lifespan of your device for very little gain, since the n4 already screams as it is.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Jason Fernandes:
Just like the Xpera P & Sola I've also considered to make a Thread....for the Port Jelly Bean to Galaxy Ace 2 from Galaxy SIII Mini :D:fingers-crossed:

It's know that our Galaxy Ace 2 is a device with Novathor u8500 SoC chipset

and right now, i'm pretty sure that Samsung will provide Jelly Bean for our device next year. But, we also know that there out is a device with our same chipset and Jelly Bean at launch. Yes, i'm talking about Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini. I have been talking with some users on their forum and i think some information can help us to port jelly bean to our Galaxy Ace 2

So, here are some files which can help us to make a working Jelly Bean Rom on our device:

1. I want to thanks nixonik member to provide a full system dump of SGSIIIMini in here System dump.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-S6...d6cDVsb00/edit

2. Jelly Bean open source code for this rom, provided by Samsung.

in HERE http://d-h.st/c1n

Now that would be really great if some devs step up to initiate this.

I think Ace 2 and SIII Mini's SoC are not EXACTLY alike but many of us expected to use the SIII Mini for the ongoing project of porting AOSP Jelly Bean to Ace 2 but we've had no luck since many believed that SIII Mini won't help that much with the port so the project has been stalled and we've been waiting for at least an update to the S Advance (or at least a leak we could port) or an official Ace 2 update. I don't really know where this is going but I don't really have my hopes up for Jelly Bean on Ace 2, well at least not until next year.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Jason Fernandes:
We just need someone to modify the ram disk.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] forbidden8:
Sorry if i spam, but when JB is a problem for now, what abou ICS port?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] mojito0:
Since jelly bean can't be ported...how is ics supposed to?(I guess)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] forbidden8:
Bcoz other device's, like xperia u and other xperia phones. They have same hardware like Ace2.If the S3 mini is not... dont know; just thinking.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] mojito0:
Ahh yeah sorry you're right, xperia u only has ics and not jb, my bad
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] yowanvista:
That wouldn't work, their kernels are different, their libs, drivers, RIL interface and wrappers are also different. They don't even use the same chipset model and have a totally different board configuration with different components. Their specifications may appear to be similar on paper but it's a different story when it comes to internals.

And Jelly Bean requires Kernel 3.x, it's something that we don't have for the Ace 2 yet and porting a whole kernel from another device running the same chipset is almost impossible. Without kernel 3.x a whole load of things won't work, that obviously includes Vsync (which is totally incompatible with the current Kernel 2.6). We don't even have the device-specific JB sources for the Ace 2 so a lot of things won't work even if someone gets JB booting. Basically what needs to be done:

(1) Get it to boot with a custom 2.6 kernel/experimental 3.0.x (if built)

(2) Fix primary/critical hardware-specific code for the novathor chipset (display, audio)

(3) Fix RIL

(4) Fix secondary hardware (sensors, bluetooth, wifi)

(5) Fix camera HAL

Gonna be hard without the device sources.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] alokhan:
Thanks for this little explanation yowanvista :) and yes it is gonna be hard and what about galaxy advance ? is this devise really different from ace 2 ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] espaciosalter20:
oh my god! .... Jelly bean was working on motorola defy with 2.6 kernel and TOTALLY LOCKED bootloader....
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] yowanvista:
Sure it can, even my i9001 works with CM10 but Vysnc is broken (and will always be unless a proper Kernel 3.0.x is used). However it seems pointless to use a dated kernel with a whole load of compatibility patches and reverse wrappers here and there just to fill the gaps. It would be better to use a fully fledged Kernel 3.X with everything already set in place, proper drivers and libs without having to look elsewhere trying to port & adapt specific code for the Ace 2. We'll have the official JB sources next year so it's useless to hit your head against a wall trying to figure out how to make a half-baked kernel without the required pieces of code. With the new sources development will be easier, porting CM10.1 will easier too, it's better to wait imho.

Inspired by the fellow member on the wpcentral forum, I have started the online petitions to force the top developers to review their position on Windows Phone Platforms and consider bring their popular iOS and Android applications to the Windows Phone Platform.

First Petition Posted

Second Petition Posted

Please support and spread the word on these petitions. If you would like to request an App and the Developer added to this petition, please review this post and post your preference. I will work with the post owner to gather your requests and post to the petition.

Here is the direct link to post your App requests.

Windows Phone 8 has the momentum at this time and only way we can force the developers to reconsider their position is talking to them directly and show that there is a good user base who will use their apps on WP platform. The petitions expire January 28.

Thanks everyone for your support.

You'll do better to petition microsoft to release sales numbers, and present that information to develoers as a possible user base. As is now, there are no official sales numbers, leading devs to believe sales are very weak. If/when microsoft posts a positive forecast, you'll get your apps. Until then, its pissing in the wind.

Hi,

I have an xperia sola with build .54. I did everything according to the instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1417375) to make init.d scripts work on closed bootloaders also. I wrote one for myself also:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "0,0,6144,0,14336,18432" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

But unfortunately it does not work. If I run it in terminal the value changes, but it reverts after restarting.

Sorry, for my bad english.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Hey mate,

First, check if init.d support was added correctly. Paste this in init.d with 777 permission, then restart phone, Go to/data/local/tmp/ and see if init.d_log_test.txt exists :p

If it does, then its an issue with script,else init.d Issue :) Report back and we'll look into your problem :)

Cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anorche:
There it is. So, the init.d is working.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:

but it doesn't work :(

Sorry my english.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Still couldnt find an issue :o Just to be sure its not an init.d issue,can you delete that file in data/local/... and reboot to see if its made again ? Maybe init.d support got broken somewhere in between :(

You unlocked bootloader, installed cwm, and flashed supersu.zip, correct? Everything went smoothly until then? And now your phone doesn't switch on?

So Here Is The Solution...!!

What u have to do is to copy this file ( http://www.mediafire.com/?jzeu7yki6wliusa ) to

( it will ask to replace )

(Use Rootexplorer.... Goto: system>>bin[paste])

Reboot & Enjoy..........!!!

Work on all Ginger Bread Rom

{Warning won't Work On ICS, Jelly Bean} :D

If Games Does not Work, U Can Set Permissions as shown in images and then Restart

​

If some games which were running before(in stock rom) but are running not now(on custom rom) u can go for this.

I corrected it & now it works, i'm playing all angry birds games space,season,rio.

also NFS shift, temple run(for armv6),jetpack joyride & many others which were not working earlier, i'm using all this since 1 month.

If u want u too try.

it's not At all a hacking tool, if ur not sure check ur bin, a file is already present there named app_process, this is the correct one to replace it.

No risk to use on x8/w8(gingerbread rom){Warning won't Work On ICS, Jelly Bean}

Hi king wolf. Yes I would say cellunlocker.net is a reliable website. My phone has been working fine on vodafone for the last few days now.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
So, the carrier locked versions can be bootloader unlocked?

Two things that have kept me from trying to snag any of the T-Mobile/Orange ones on eBay (which are cheaper than the unlocked ones) are the limited success in SIM unlocking and the uncertainty about bootloader unlocking. It sounds like cellunlocker can eventually figure out the code to SIM unlock, but I'd rather not live with a locked bootloader again.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brmartyn:
Unless you are planning on using development software on your device i think they is no need to unlock the bootloader. Cellunlocker will email you a 16 digit pin which will allow you to use any sim card in the device. If you wish to unlock the bootloader this can be done through the motorola website.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Not sure what you mean by development software, but I do plan to use custom ROMs, plus take advantage of the other benefits of rooting. I know the phone can be rooted without having the bootloader unlocked, but I don't think there's a SafeStrap for it, so we wouldn't be able to flash anything.

Some people seem to not have had luck unlocking the carrier locked versions through Motorola's website, which is why I asked.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brmartyn:
Sorry I did mean custom ROMs etc for unlocking the bootloader. If it helps I had no problems unlocking my bootloader through motorola before I unlocked the sim through cellunlocker.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingwolf2:
