no them aren't for all Countries and Carriers you have to search for the Firmware of your Carrier for exemple if your Carrier is O2 then you have to search at sammobile for a Gt-i8160 Firmware with O2 behind the Model Name!

See this

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Csc

Search for your country code or check your phone is Settings\About

There you can see what modem you have installed.

Different CSC can have different settings in modem that do not suit some countries.

Check CSC to confirm...

[Galaxy Ace II General] littledude072:
im from indonesia, i checked my CSC via *#1234# and i found out its OLB(MA1) (phone/PDA DMXA1) and since the only CSC code i found here is XSE (MF2) that means i cant upgrade right? i googled a bit and found you can easily change your code and install the version you want but youd have to change your network settings

what are affected by the modem settings? calls/text/internet only right? other than those its just the same phone, if so i can change that later on

do the downloads here include kernels/pit/CSC files?

truth be told im interested with either an MG2 or the minimal by judas/zero. has anyone tried the aroma installer yet? i havent gotten a reply on my thread asking about the minimal by judas/aroma installer

[Galaxy Ace II General] zahirovic.safet:
Firmware will be added to the first post. And just to say, it's a brand new build date, new change log :) I will flash and report it :)
[Galaxy Ace II General] psychoo83:
Same changelist as MC8 and ME7...not sure why ME7 is gone from samsung updates, that's what i'm using and it's different than MC8
[Galaxy Ace II General] zahirovic.safet:
Yes but changelist doesn't neccesary mean that it's the same build. Kernel is from august, so this is the newest kernel, build is from august, and i've flashed it, for now it doesn't freeze or anything. It has 624 RAM. More feedback later :)

UPDATE:

First thing that I've noticed is that it has more free memory. It doesn't go over 420-430 mb so you always have 150 ish mb free. That being said the phone feels more snappy when multitasking, when entering the apps, animations. I will try some gaming so next update little later :).
[Galaxy Ace II General] Shadowcareful:

[Galaxy Ace II General] astankov:
Can you please put this ROM on faster mirror like Mediafire , D-Files , DropBox or MEGA? I really want to try it but while I was downloading from HotFile my connection failed and now I cant download it. It says you are already downloading file and free users cant download multiple files at once.

[Galaxy Ace II General] payer:
Sure? Where do the changelist came from?
[Galaxy Ace II General] astankov:
Go to sammonbile and try to download some rom. You will see that each rom have changelist. MC8 and MH1 have the same changelist , mf1 and mg2 also but it is higher value than the first two roms.

I am curious if the video player bug is finally fixed...I have no other problems with ME7.

If I won't have to reboot occasionally because of video freezing my phone, then I will be happy.

Edit: This build seems the fastest I tested so far. Will keep it for now and see what happens next.

[Galaxy Ace II General] Shadowcareful:
I think it's not important when it was released. I think it' s more important how it perform
[Galaxy Ace II General] astankov:
Yes exactly. So I'm done with it. Reverted back to XXMG2 because phone feels more laggy and heavy. I don't see any reason to continue using it. Now with mg2 phone has back in the game.
[Galaxy Ace II General] nusko_x:
Any news, bugs on that version, freeze? I'm on XXMG2 and have a lot freeze on video player and camcorder, and wanna try this one. But waiting for your response :)
[Galaxy Ace II General] Szaby59:
I don't know what does the changelist mean, they built this rom on august 4 I think it's better than MC8 (even if they used the same source there could be some tweaks for example when you connect the headset the phone will "suggest" to start some apps on the notification bar).

Also they included Opera Mini browser but you can freeze it if you don't want to use it.
[Galaxy Ace II General] tomgv:
I use MH1 over 20 hours and rom is faster, stabile and no freeze.UI and touchwiz is after long time optimised, i don't have any lag. In game is some like MG2, memory managment i think is same like MG2, i have 150~180mb free ram.

For me MH1 > MG2. Before i install rom i full wipe data/factory reset..

Review XXMH1

I've used this build for a few days now and I'm pretty pleased with it :laugh: First there is no stutter in UI, whole UI is fast as GB, but it's not laggy as on GB :laugh: Gaming performance is on par with XXMG2 and generally whole device feels like GB but with more fluid UI. Camera has improved a lot, at least I think so, and camera takes pictures little faster now. Battery life has improved :laugh: You can see in attachment my battery life ;)

But there were some setbacks, for example device did restart twice on it's own, and once it had froze while trying to run Temple Run 2 but overall much much much better build than previous ones :laugh:
[Galaxy Ace II General] kittenlinux:
Testing XXMH1

Just testing XXMH1, still has video lag for me, game performance is like MG2, but other normal thing like smoothness on screen is better than old MF2, battery last longer like GB.

But it very smooth than before.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Niquel97:
What are you doing with your phone? Do you have 3g always ON?

I can't get even 24h battery life on any JB rom.

I use about 40% screen brightness and all the **** turned on, i use my phone on facebook,kik and internet = about 5h

When i plug off my phone at 7-9am i need to charge it at 4-7pm so i get about 12h battery life.

How?
[Galaxy Ace II General] zahirovic.safet:
I don't use 3G and saving wifi whenever possible. For screen brightnes go to power saving and check screen power saving.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Szaby59:
If your screen is constantly on during that 5hour usage than I guess 1 day it's normal.

Hi guys!!:laugh:

Before some days I had MF1 frimware + KYRILLOS V8. it was smooth:laugh: only that it couldn't handle games like Minion Rush smoothly:(

So right now.. I am using CM10.. games work smoothly:silly: but battery life sucks:(:mad:

Is downloading MH1 worth it.. after hearing the buzz about it here.. I'm starting to think that it is really smooth:good:

Before MG2 gave me a lot of issues:(

Should I install it??:silly:Please give me some advice:laugh:
[Galaxy Ace II General] shibumi77:
Which issues did you have with MG2? MH1 seems stable enough, with good battery, but I doubt it will be a big difference in perfomance with MF1+Kyrillos game wise (though I'm not really sure since I barely have games in my phone at the moment).

I used the Slim rom and indeed is smoother and games performed better, but like you said, battery was not so good. Try to use a governor like Hot Plug it will probably give you some extra battery.
[Galaxy Ace II General] tofueatsbread:
change govs to performance/sio works well for me, play minion rush a little longer, see if it becomes smoother
[Galaxy Ace II General] superlenvin:
Hi guys!!!

MH1 is one of the best stock rom in terms of gaming, launcher, battery performance.. It did feel a bit sluggish during multitasking

Games like Minion Rush, Temple Run 2 work flawlessly without even installing custom kernel or changing the governers

It has nice RAM management

I think that this is the most polished and best stock rom made by samsung for our device

MG2 gave me launcher lag, game lag.. LAG LAG LAG

MF1 + KYRILLOS V8 gives only gaming lag.. even after custom rom and changing governors

Custom roms have camera quality issue,battery issue and gps issue

Soo I think people should switch to MH1.. you wont regret
[Galaxy Ace II General] Szaby59:
Probably many of you think MH1 is faster than MG2/MF1 because of the 624 MB accessible RAM (many MF1/MG2 builds has only 482 MB), if you applied the 624 MB fix on MF1/MG2 you will not see much difference.
[Galaxy Ace II General] tofueatsbread:
my phone never froze with mg2 but just yesterday after switching to mh1 it froze :( i think mg2 is smoother
[Galaxy Ace II General] j800r:
CM10 with Russian MG2 base. CM10 is without a doubt imo the best Jelly Bean firmware for the device at this moment. The base doesn't really matter. Used to use UK MF1 but I tried out Minimal which uses MG2 as a base. Minimal is pretty much just stock without the bloat so I decided to return to CM10.

Any future Android device I upgrade to I'm gonna make sure it's officially supported by Cyanogenmod as I absolutely LOVE it.
[Galaxy Ace II General] superlenvin:
NO.. I always had 624mb ram accessible in my phone from different custom roms

MH1 is still the best, only has video player lag, So I'm using MX player as a fix
[Galaxy Ace II General] j800r:
Tbh different people have different experiences with various firmware.

My opinion? They all suck. If optimized right Jelly Bean can be as fast and smooth as Gingerbread on the device. However, I have not seen this in any of the JB firmwares until I started using CM10. Of course, that's all personal opinion for me and my main point is that no Jelly Bean firmware is really much better or worse than the other. It just seems to be luck of the draw.

I'm waiting for Rox to get his CM10.1 up to the same level as herald's CM10 and then i'll get myself an update to Android 4.2 which Samsung doesn't even directly support on the device and (AFAIK) has no plans to.

Network/Calling Problem

Hi guys 2 days ago I've installed "Jelly Bean" on my Ace 2 but and everything works perfect and with no lag just like in my Galaxy S3 but there is a BIG problem because I can not make and accept calls even thet network shows OK.

I wold really appreciate if someone can help me. Thank You!

Hi there,

I use ace 2 with JB 4.1.2 XXMF2 stock rom.

[Galaxy Ace II General] Angelkmbll:
So we can use MF2 without problems and it doesn't matter where we are from?
[Galaxy Ace II General] The wsx:
You can use different version of rom without any signal problem. When I have galaxy pro (b7510) I was using europe rom. With that phone you can flash other rom of countries. But maybe if some of the roms are from "carriers" you may have some signal problem.(Just a guess I'm not sure)

One more thing. Other roms could make problem with your messeges. What I mean? I explain : My country is Turkiye. If I use different rom, ı got messega characters problem. Normally at one message you have 160 car. But I use special turkish char. "ö,ç,ş,ı,ğ,ü,ç" char. count more than one char.

I don't know your language has other char. but if there are, that could make problem.
