This thread has been created for people to share news regarding the release of android 4.1 or even 4.2 for our device,whether or not the news is true or false!

The only news we have now is that JB may release on 22/4 or even by the end of this month.

[Galaxy Ace II General] psychoo83:
Can anyone guide me to a tutorial or any helping information for building AOSP for 8160?

I have found links for Nexus devices and don't know what to modify for our 8160.

Trying to learn how to do that but so far i managed to compile something for nexus (don't know if it's only kernel or complete rom).

So please, if anyone can help with some useful links i would appreciate it.

Thanks.

P.S. If i manage to build a working ROM i will gladly share it.

Call Maclaw, he is a doctor of ACE, with his track record he able to build Final ICS AOSP and CM 9, and now he builds JB AOSP for S3 Mini.....

did you know? S3 Mini and Ace 2 generally not much different.

Maclaw selected SIII Mini, not ACE II for next project as you can read on his blog. Also saying that "S3 Mini and Ace 2 generally not much different" is like saying that SIII and Galaxy Note 10.1 are not much different. They have the same SOC and thats all.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Bogzilla:
Yet different enough. Even if they look similar, there are other differences that don't make porting such and easy task.

Still, publishing the sources for this handset is a great step forward. I, for one, cannot wait to flash a custom rom.

[Galaxy Ace II General] titomax82:
Dark Knight is playable on GB with a highly tweaked system:

1) custom rom like latest kyrillos or italian job 0.6;

2) custom kernel d-kernel 1.1;

3) autorun of a lot of system apps and user apps prevented by gemini app manager;

4) useless apps or bloatwares completely uninstalled;

5) "governor": performance or lionheart or pegasusq / "I/O scheduler: deadline

6) offline mode and close all apps by task manager before starting the game (no music)

The result is a playable game :)

But, most important, "with your words you're saying that RR3 fps are good, but you're not saying that JB's fps are higher than GB's fps"! It's not even necessary to measure them; just by playing and watching it's evident that RR3 is smoother on GB, especially in scenes with lot of cars.

Even assuming this is my personal feeling, you can try to play a HD 1080p video. Don't say that HD is useless on our device; there could be 2 cases in which is usefull for example:

1) you already have a 1080p video and want to watch it on your smartphone with mx player (default player doesn't play this kind of videos) in a travel or somewhere else; what to do in this case? download another video? or convert it to the right format for our devices? a lot of stress and, for an entire movie, it would be a great waste of time;

2) using the smartphone DLNA to watch some hd videos on hd TV (in this case even default GB player is capable of this);

Well, in both of examples, JB is not capable of playing HD videos (lags... stuttering), while GB is capable of this. Isn't this a proof of GB's best performance?

Right... Do you know or anyone know anyone with Ace2 TMN JB out of the box?

Isn't it strange that only one operator in the world has this update from march when they didn't even sell this phone?

Then on sammobile you see a Kies icon, but how can this be available to update via Kies when their phone would have JB from start...

Unless someone shows unpacking of TMN Ace2 with this JB version, it ooks like test binary same as other leaks, just branded for operator.
[Galaxy Ace II General] mojito0:
Agree totally, I mean just think about it, MC8 still has bugs..it is not some custom rom which is like..okay it has couple bugs, an official JB release must have NO bugs AT ALL, secondly...the difference between JB and GB in gaming is HUGE, and I'm not talkin bout some high end games, I'm talking about simple games like Solitair and Hill Climb racing (2 of my fav games) in JB yes..they have some lags. Finally battery, it is obvious that JB eats much battery for some reason, well not that much, but JB is supposed to handle battery better.
[Galaxy Ace II General] samer menla:
agree 10%
[Galaxy Ace II General] judas1977:
That is NOT truth. Do you remember famous bugs of galaxy S2 and S3 (hard brick because of NAND issue iirc) - that phones are much more important for samsung and still have some serious issues in OFFICIAL firmwares...

But i'm not telling if mc8 is official or not, that's not a point of my post.
[Galaxy Ace II General] ccnky:
In official ROM light sensor must work, in MC8 it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Ace II General] judas1977:

[Galaxy Ace II General] NZ John:
Then why does it turn the screen off during calls while the phone is close to your face?

That's the proximity sensor, it detects something (your ear) close to it, so it turns the screen off.

Right, exept page is not official and screams advertises everywhere, along with network/sim unlock...

You are capable of playing 1080p videos on your Ace 2?! Until now I thought our graphics chip couldn't do that. 720p works fine on JB btw, which is still HD

Yes! Mx Player with HW decoder 10+bit enabled to play videos directly on phone's screen, or, with default player if you use DLNA function (nothing played on device's screen but video played correctly on "Full"-HD TV)
[Galaxy Ace II General] Smokey Mc Pot:
You might have a valid point there but...

In the website, the owners are also asking for donations to keep the website alive, running and working.

Very likely advertisement is the only solution to achieve the purpose.

Google does its advertisement as well.

I download all my firmware from there, and when compared to the firmware I download from Sammobile. I can assure you is the same package. Not pirate goods.

Official or not?! I could be wrong but I think Sammobile is not official either?! Or I can be really wrong.

But if you are making a new website for the same purpose? Please send me a link. And I will be happy to use it as well.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Ace II General] mkel91:
Yes you're right, Samsung is a closed source company compared to others, you cannot download FW from official website unlike other company (huawei, LG, google nexus stock image, mediacom, ecc. ecc), this is not good if we think that android si an open source platform..

Actually I just bought this phone for about a week ago, and I kinda excited that there is a new update on Samsung Service Center. So I decided to upgrade after purchase. So here's the screenshot for the firmware:

I'm posting this because I'm interested in updating with Italian Job Mod. But apparently it's only for Portugal Version (CM8), while mine is MD4. Hopefully that mkel91 making an update for the MD4 (Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam). I don't wanna try the mod with this firmware because my phone is still new LOL

It's the same screenshot as previous post, but I only change the font :))

[Galaxy Ace II General] Alin_El_Rene:
Sorry for the late reply

I'm using Quadrant for the system information:

For the RAM it's still the same 624MB:

Should I change with other apps for the CPU config? It's still the same as stock by the way.

EDIT:

I'm from Indonesia.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Bilgets:
the updates for indonesia is launching?

or is it from SSC?
[Galaxy Ace II General] Alin_El_Rene:
The shop owner said that upgrade to JB is available so I took the chance to do it in Samsung Service Center across the shop (yeah it's near). I think this firmware also works for Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia since I can change the language. I'm not sure why my country first, but this update should be available in above country via SSC.

EDIT:

To be honest, the battery life is kinda suck, I mean really suck. I think this is the problem we face upon upgrading. Also I'm not the only one who complain about the battery life in this JB. LOL

But still I'm using DS Battery Saver Pro which is quite helpful (just a little tho).
[Galaxy Ace II General] loof13:
Who installed it for you? What PIT file did they use
[Galaxy Ace II General] uchihakurtz:
Wut??? It's out already here?? That was unexpected. Gotta check Kies tomorrow or go to SSC soon. Is it fast? Does it have lags or occasional freezes?

Sent from my GT-I8160
[Galaxy Ace II General] Alin_El_Rene:
I don't ask for it since it's SSC. Like I could ask that hahaha

I play Dungeon Hunter 4 smoothly with medium setting (default). But sometimes the RAM is quite high, and you should kill some apps that build the RAM up or simply just reboot. I think I just got problem with the RAM and battery (maybe I never turned off the Battery Saver, so that's make the lag). Also the partition for Phone Memory and SDCard0 is only 1,2GB & 1,1GB, while ExtSDCard only used for saving data like apk files, photo, and music (except you root it or change the foldstab, and I'm afraid to test that). So I'm kinda tight in memory since I'm installing Dungeon Hunter 4 (980MB).

If you're sure about that, just upgrade. I'm not rooting my phone yet. But maybe in near future if there's a good mod for this firmware, I definitely will.

[Galaxy Ace II General] Alin_El_Rene:
I would if I could, but how to do it?

I'm from Indonesia, West Java, Bekasi.

Well I just registered today, say whatever you want but I just bought this phone about a week ago, I still have the invoice and box also the notice or some kind of paper from Samsung Service Center. Well whatever, I'm new in this forum anyway, just respecting the senior member. [continue below]

Why would I do that? Just to lie? What benefit from me? I just wanted to request a new mod for this firmware.

I just don't know how to make the image file (md5) since I'm not a developer and I don't really understand how it works.

I join a lot of forum but I don't talk much just to spout nonsense. There's no beneficial spouting nonsense over the internet. Well for Indonesian, you might now forum called Indowebster. Check my profile, it's the same name.

Anyway, if anyone knows how to make an image of the firmware I will do it. Since I have zero experience on doing this kinda of things, so I'm totally noob.

EDIT:

I found out that using Nandroid to backup the whole image. But it requires root.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/

And the most easiest rooting method is from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2215996

I tried it once and it worked. But I'm not testing the Nandroid yet, too risky to try it. I'm just waiting for someone from my country to update this new firmware after me. Since KIES firmware didn't show it up at all, so the only thing to do is going to SSC.
