Don't know if anyone of you guys report this bug already. I will describe it in few sentences:

When the uptime of the system is few hours and all the necessary stuff is loaded into RAM and you are starting something which consumes RAM (i.e. a game or sth similar) and after that you try to run YouTube app, the whole app is frozen and the system is not responding, you cannot even run task manager or go back to launcher menu - all you can do is to wait until the movie ends and then you can go back to main screen or you can reboot the system by removing the battery. After the system restart everything works fine without lags.

I think that it may be the problem with appropriate memory management/kernel issue.

Could anyone confirm this bug?

I can ask you the same question.
[Galaxy Ace II General] psychoo83:
I can confirm, this happened to me 3 times since i updated to MC8 but it's not related only to youtube. On any video player using live streaming.

I encountered this on youtube and also on tvportal trying to watch online shows. The only way to escape was to hold power button for 10 seconds until phone reboots, but taking out the battery should work also.
[Galaxy Ace II General] mat159:

[Galaxy Ace II General] grrigor:
Like I said before - this bug is probably caused by wrong ROM management, definitely not by launcher, so changing the launcher will not solve the problem.

There were a couple of post saying it woks perfectly, though you will loose NFC
[Galaxy Ace II General] Smokey Mc Pot:
Ok. Seriously now.

If you press the home button,

You will open the task manager and it will show all the recent apps history you used.

That same history is consuming a considerable amount of Ram.

And that is the cause for the phone slowing down and eventually freezing.

If you press the garbage can option.

Or swipe the unwanted Windows, you will recover the missing Ram.

And automatically your phone will become faster again.

That is the downfall of the multitasking on this Rom.

I am looking for a way to automatically kill this Windows since they just clog the memory and is annoying to have to go to task manager all the time just to delete this Windows.

Need to find a adequate Ram Manager app for this.
[Galaxy Ace II General] xXfreshXx:
No, mkel plans to integrate in next release.
[Galaxy Ace II General] hesaps1234h:
So how can i enable it?
[Galaxy Ace II General] mat159:
You didn't undestand me bro.

I know how this android features work, this garbage button etc. But it's not the clue.

If I don't open youtube or video player everything works fine, multitasking is great, I can't say the system slows down. But once I open any video file the phone freezes and I have to reset phone. And that's it, I don't have to use any task killer, even this built-in. It's just video bug I think (drivers or optimalization).

Btw I must confess, I tried the ram manager you mentioned couple post earlier, and this bug seems gone to me. So I hope it isn't a big deal to samsung to fix this issue in next release, so I don't have to use 3rd party apps.

Rooting method for MC8

Hi, guys! I have a few questions:

1. Could anyone give me the PIT file to increase the RAM (427/482...) and is it possible to use the PIT of MC2/4 and flash MC8 (without installing MB2/4 with pit and after that MC8)? I have installed MB4 over GB but without the PIT so everything is as it was .. with GB.

2. Could someone provide required rooting files to root MC8 (and a guide if it is not the same procedure as it was before with GB ie recovery->apply update from SD)

3. A list of the memory consuming bloatware (I saw one of them images where one have reduced the usage o ~280/~670)

PS: I am new to the forum, so sorry if I sound n00bish =D

Thank you!
[Galaxy Ace II General] Rox:
1.flash mb4 again with pit file (before that better to do backup and do ala factory reset ) and after that flash mc8 again.

Than you can restore your apps .

2.Somewhere here is thread "how to root jb" just follow instructions.

3. When you root, deinstall bloatwares and you can delete instalations using root explorer (/preload/common_files or something like that)

Btw. If you hate tmn boot screen you can also find orginal_bootanimation and flash it.

;) hope i helped

I have few questions

1- I am having ace2 running with GB2.3.6 (UAE), I want to try to move on I8160XXMC8. Is it safe to use the other region rom and will it create problem?

2- In case i find the problem in running JB how can I shift back to my default OS.

3- Is there any confirmed date for the release of update for UAE region.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Ace II General] ken_alpha24:
1. yes it is safe to use the MC8 ROM not the China unbranded firmware

2. Incase you ran into a problem with MC8, you can flash back by

A. Downloading stock firmware/ROM from Sammobile just search for the device name there and your carrier... Just be sure you have an account in sammobile

B. Download Odin 3.04 and flash back to the downloaded firmware in A

3. No there isnt confirmed date yet

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Before upgrading to MC8 from JB, pls download the MB4 leaked firmware and flash it first then MC8 so you can have 624 MB RAM instead of 482

So this =

GB = MB4 (LEAKED with PIT file) = MC8

be sure you are rooted before doin this

MC8 or MB2

Guys, I flashed the leaked version a couple of months ago, which is I8160XXMB2.

As I am quite new to this, I would like to know whether having this version instead of the official MC8 will give me problems in the future. Like, for example, when flashing new ROMs.

I'm asking this because, for example, I wasn't able to overclock my phone with the GingerBread method once I flashed JB (in fact, I still haven't been able to overclock it).

To sum up, what's the difference and disadvantages of having MB2 instead of MC8?

Thanks in advance guys!
[Galaxy Ace II General] michal89chz:

I overclocked it when I had Gingerbread, man...
[Galaxy Ace II General] mojito0:
Nobody said that you can't OC, we are saying that we can't safely make an OC kernel which will actually make a difference in performance..cuz when we say OC we mean from 800 to 1Ghz or 1.2Ghz.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Sigint89:
Sure, you overclocked a device when nobody here is able to do it for months. Some proof maybe?
[Galaxy Ace II General] samer menla:
Yes man don't you remember the GB over clock

But there was no difference at all

It was like fake it shows you 1200mhz but the actual is 800mhz
[Galaxy Ace II General] Sigint89:
Yes i remember something. But if there was no performance gain and no ways to check if in fact CPU was overclocked or it was just visual and cosmetic effect showing in CPU manager apps then i think it is safe to say it wasn't overclocking.
[Galaxy Ace II General] carlospintod:
.

Some people said it was fake, some people said it wasn't. I can't tell, I flashed Jelly Bean like the next the day.

However, about what I asked before, about the difference between XXMB2 (my version) and MC8, can anyone say anything? Will that give me problems in the future if ROMs like CM are developed for our device?
[Galaxy Ace II General] Sigint89:
Well there is no official changelog so you have to trust what people say in this thread and finally test it yourself. MC8 should be better as it is newer. Personally I use MB2 with Kyrillos v6 (because I had no time to flash and tinker with my phone lately) and it works great but from what I see in the forums nowadays people say that MC8 + The Italian Job makes nearly perfect rom. I think you should have no problems with any roms in future (excluding GB roms, going back from JB can be troublesome). You can always reflash with another version if it is needed for some custom roms.
