Here's a stock looking theme for those who don't want orange interface (calculator is still orange, tho):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.template.theme.ThyrusHoloWhite

And I just want to report back that this ROM runs great on my phone. This is the only ROM that I can activate Voice Speed Dial by bluetooth correctly. And when I play Rage of Bahamut, my phone freeze 1/3 of the time with other ROMs so that I have to reboot. But it runs without problem in this ROM.

I think these are because of the 0.62 kernel, which is really amazing for me! :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Probably cause of the tweaks lol.

I'm making a aosp port so I'll load that up with tweaks too.

I might even have a 4.3 rom coming :) *hint*

*cough need testers cough* what?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mickeyasamoah:
Nice one there Notorious, just saw the ROM,like right now, its being a while since i checked the development section. Would try and download it today, although my ISP is giving me a very low transfer rate at 10 to 17kb per second. But would still download it. Cant wait to to mess with this ROM Lol. And those with network and data problems, found an app on the playstore called 4g switcher. It main purpose is for switching to 4g but it works if you want to place your phone on 3g only mode since most JB ROMs Dont come with that feature and it has other cool network controls like radio band select and others.

Thanks once again.:thumbup::D:D

I get flickering screen with this rom with 0.62 kernel
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
If it bothers you a lot, flash the .69 kernel. Apparently it fixes the screen flicker, but its unstable. WiFi works with it though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mehtab Singh:
Screen is still on with grey light
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Even with the .69?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mehtab Singh:
Yea, screen still lights up but does not flicker and just stays that way..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
That's weird .. I'll try to come up with something lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkgiant:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] xdabphili:
Happy Early Birthday! :) My birthday is this month too!! :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
It has no bugs at alll. Except the kernel is very unstable. You'll get random reboots. I can get you a much more stable kernel but it will break WiFi and bring back the headset heat.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Are you using this Rom? If yes, I'm going to test a kernel. It's the .61, it doesnt have the 0 brighntess glitch and its more stable.

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thorne1209:
Started using this ROM as you know, and its been amazing so far even on .62! But I'll test .61 if you haven't tested already :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
OK, I'll get it to you soon.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Dj MiGz:
This rom is jb right so it has the headset heat up?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Yes and no.

It is jellybean but it uses a different kernel which does not have the headset heat.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Superchill11:
Looking to Give this Rom a Try

N_0torius,

Looks like you have a great rom here, I just have a few questions.

Which is better, .61 or .62 kernel?

Apps2sd issue still present? Some people said their apps 2 sd was working.

And is the signal drop issue still present? Wasn't this fixed on some 4.3 roms?

I read the thread and just wasn't clear on these questions (too much studying C programming last night...)

I appreciate your continued work on our glacier. Keep up the good work bro.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thorne1209:
I've been on this ROM for a few days now. A few soft reboots, some FCs. But overall a great ROM. No headset overheat, no missed call/dropped signal bug. The .62 kernel has the 0 brightness glitch and overall stability issues. Not a deal breaker for me though. Fixing permissions seems to help greatly, though it takes 2-3 minutes to complete lol I'll test the .61 kernel for sure soon also.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Yeah .61 Will help

Less reboots no headset heat and no 0 brightness glitch.

And I don't know how the signal drop was fixed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thorne1209:
Should we wait on the flashable zip for the .61 kernel, or should we replace the boot.IMG and reflash? Some might be trying to replace the boot.img in this ROM and reflash. So just asking what some might be wanting to ask if they are using this ROM. And just clarifying that this is NOT an eta...I strongly disagree with asking for an eta.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Superchill11:
Booyah

If you are very curious, why not make a backup and try it with the .61 boot.img and report back. I'm sure others would def appreciate it. I can say that the rom as-is is pretty darn good. Haven't had any serious issues other than some FC that I might be app issues and not the rom itself. I haven't had any soft reboots after a few days and i am getting decent battery life. I use auto-bright so the 0 bright glitch is moot. Only thing I don't like is the orange theme. I have the "betterbean theme blue" installed and it takes most of the orange out. Had to re-install the google keyboard to get the orange keyboard to stock again.

I followed some above advice and did the fix permissions (in 4ext) after all my apps were re-installed. Then did the fstrim app and that helped with speed. Not sure if i've had issues with apps2sd or not. I will report back.

Is there a way to get this to a 4.3 rom? The kernel seems stable enough to me (atleast so far).

Thanks again Notorious.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thorne1209:
Sure I'll test it out and report back. Any specific boot.img for .61 I should use, or should I use the link in OP?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Dont use the one in the OP.

Its missing some things and youll have FCs

I don't mind ETAs lol.

You didn't have to do fstrim, it does it while installing the rom.

(Most of) The orange can be taken away by using

Crystal2 cm10 theme by dark_dog

Its my favorite theme.

If you want a kernel that is stable I could get you the newest one, but it won't have working WiFi.

And the ROM will be updated yo 4.3 when the original rom from the xperia gets updated.

I'll get you a flashable zip soon.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thorne1209:
Awesome thanks N_otori0us_. Myself, as well as others I'm sure, will wait on that flashable zip for the .62 kernel. Had a bad feeling about swapping boot.img files anyways lol figured it needed ramdisk changes or something of the like to make it stable. Though this ROM is already stable enough, except for the random softboots here and there. Thanks again for your work! :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Its. 61 lol.

I'll try and get it up sometime this weekend
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thorne1209:
Lol typos suk ;)

Just FYI getting settings and aspire FCs. Need logs?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Superchill11:
Hard Reboot

I believe I have found a bug. Going into the system settings>>apps causes a hard reboot. It seems that as the system is trying to calculate app sizes, something goes wrong and causes the reboot. I had the same issue when trying to just start up the app link2sd. Would you like logs?

When I was asking about a 4.3 I wasn't asking for an eta, just if you think it was possible for the older kernels to run those.

Cheers,

#freeJameis

Go Noles!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Yeah older kernels could run 4.3 with a few changes.

I think item reboots if you try and switch apps too sdcard through settings.

A log would be nice but itself your choice
[myTouch 4G Android Development] qipengart:
One of the most orange-estest ROM's I ever encountered. So far installed it and really digging it. Even though only 4.2.2 and not 4.3.1 or KitKat I really love its speed and stability so far.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Try this theme with it --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darkdog.theme.crystal2&hl=en

I think It matches perfectally
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bertscookie:
The WiFi not working would be because the built modules were [not] put into the lib directory right? They don't build into the kernel I know that you have to enable it in the kernel then build the modules for that kernel/device then copy those files into the (system/lib/modules)??? folder. something like that I was too lazy to fact check....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Yeah but that's the thing, I don't know much about kernels and absolutely nothing about compiling, I tried compiling things before and it was a mess.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bertscookie:
Haha, yea.... It sucks at first then it get's pretty simple. In a nutshell you just have to make sure all your paths are set right. LOTS of reading which sucks for me because I'm lazy :p Took me a while to compile my first usable kernel.

Things like the wireless drivers aren't built into the kernel itself. So you have to grab the drivers after the compile and put them in the folders they go in. No biggie. You may even be able to pull the driver files out of a ROM that uses the kernel you want to put into this. Or one of us here could do a quick module build as long as the source is available.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
I think the source for AoCP is in the op, if not then Ill find the link.

And I think albinoman has his kernel source open, which is forked from evervolv.

Maybe the kernel can be compiled like that.

Thanks though,
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bertscookie:
I'll have a look, I compile at work so I can see what I can do next week. Maybe bang out a kernel

Hi, having troubles trying to flash boot.img at the moment as my device isn't being detected while in Fastboot USB mode by my computer using various flashing applications. HBOOT is 1.28 if that is of any use.

Do i need 3 files or one file?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kilstor:
Flash mb4 for 624 RAM with pit then flash mf1 mg2 etc.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
The russian MG2 (SER) will give you 624 MB, you can flash it directly no matter what rom do you have currently on the device.

You can find a torrent link on my signature or hotfile link on sammobile.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zahirovic.safet:
It doesn't matter if it's 624 or 428 ram. Your device has 768 mb ram, it's just allocated differently and thus you have 624 or 428 ram. I'm running nordic MG2 with 428 mb ram, and it is smooth, there are no hangs, it's almost like GB. So don't base JB firmware on how much ram your task manager shows!.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaifSaif:
Guys, i having BUT-XXMC8 Firmware and it's not bad

is MG2 better than MC8 ??

if yes sure i'll flash it over MC8.. i think no matter with this way right?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:
it has 768 mb ram, correct. but only 482 is usable, cant you understand? you might not have many apps running and using ram, but other people may use more apps than you. based on what you said, you mean a pc with 8 gb ram, and it so happens you can only use 1 gb(no, but example) you mean you will say"oh this pc has 8 gb of ram, its just allocated differently. dont judge the pc based on ram." I will have to tell you thats totally wrong. For gaming, customization, multitasking... ram does matter. So instead, just tell them how to get 624 mb ram and dont encourage them on the wrong things. And for those who needs 624 mb ram, first flash XXMB4 then your desired firmware(JB)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashifyy:
I downloaded MG2 from your torrent link and installed it. I got 624MB ram . It's faster than MF1.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kohrangi:
On samfirimware there are 2 MG2 firmwares.Poland and Hungary.Which one is better?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zahirovic.safet:
You can't compare PC with smartphone with Android. First if you go to properties in my computer in windows you can see that you have RAM and how much ram is usable. Second RAM management is different in Android and Windows. Google said that 1 GB RAM is minimum for JB and we have 768. You CAN'T GET MUCH OF MULTITASKING WITH THAT MUCH RAM!!!. I had 624 mb ram with repartition, and the RAM gauge was always filled, I constantly had 500 ish ram, and the same thing is with 428 ram, I always have 400 ish ram. Gaming performance was worse on any firmware with 624 ram, mc8, me7, mf1 but with 428 ram on MG2 it's much better. My point is that mg2 build is optimized good enough with 428 ram, and if you repartition yout system you will have same effect, maybe even worse with 624 mb. I guarantee that with 624 ram you won't get much of multitasking and you will repartition your system, which is always a bad choice, so it's futile to search for multitasking in jb on our device.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:
1gb is minimum? But then again, you can only use 0.98gb. "Google said you need 1gb of ram" huh? So having 0.98gb cant multitask either? Lastly, this is a thread meant for discussion, not arguing.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zahirovic.safet:
Minimum 1GB of physical memory, not usable memory. My point is not to argue, but I don't want people to flash 100 builds just to get "624 mb RAM" when it's perfectly fine with 428 mb, and there is not difference in performance, if anything else 624 mb is worse. This phone is tailored suited for GB, I think we will never get official Samsung update with better performance than GB, in best case we will get same performance as GB. And that's the case with all devices without physical 1 GB of RAM. I am using official MG2 now, updated with kies and it runs really smooth, games are OK and I don't have any freezes or lag so it is definitely an improvement. There will me more builds, and about 2 months ago when I talked with Samsung Norway they told me that JB will arrive in 3/4 quarter of the year, and I think that final builds will come then, but MG2 build for now is just fine for me.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:
Sorry for misunderstanding. And i agree it was made for GB
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
If a phone with single core cpu and 512 MB ram can run JB don't try to explain that 768 MB RAM and a dualcore processor is not good enough...

Just flash the russian MG2 you will have 624 MB usable ram and almost every time there is approx. 100 MB free, the rom is extremely smooth, there is only a little lag which is caused by poor drivers/kernel, just like the huge battery drain.

Soo... that "made for GB" excuse is probably good enough for samsung trying to fool us, but it's not true...

I can remember when I bought my phone GB was almost in the same state (little lags, battery drain, slowdown) and after the 2012Q4 performance updates GB became well optimized.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomgv:
it's the same ROM
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
No, with the Hungarian XXMG2 version you'll have 482 MB usable ram, with the Russian XXMG2 this value is 624 MB.

I don't know anything about the polish fw but I recommend to flash the Russian JB.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zahirovic.safet:
I didn't say it can't run, it can run JB, I'm running JB now on my phone. The question is not can it run but how it runs it. I agree that performance will be better with next updates and that was my point, but what I've said is that don't expect to run 4-5 applications in once or to have fantastic multitasking. About a battery, there is slight decline over GB but not so much. I've noticed the biggest drain is with wi-fi on, with camera app and of course screen usage. Project butter uses a lot of battery for now I think, because to use video sync and to run at 60 fps Project Butter needs graphical intensity which was not presented in GB. And one more thing, did anybody noticed that camera quality is lower than on GB? For me it seems like it. I think in September/November we will get usable enough build and Samsung will end support for this model I think.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginryu006:
question

what are the differences between the firmwares? and does the different version affect the battery life of the phone? thanks:)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zahirovic.safet:
It's up to you. If you value more battery life and performance, stay on GB. If you want Nature UX, smooth UI and new features with lower battery life and less performance in games, than go for JB. If you want to move to JB then I suggest to flash nordic MG2 directly from GB via Odin.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michal89chz:

My vote goes to MG2 because it is smoother and has a good notification of missed calls and messages.

If you have a missed call or a message every 5 minutes the screen lights up to 3-4 seconds and sound like when you unlock the phone. : Good:

The only downside is the short battery life compared to MF1.

I ask again

Do I have to download the firmware (MG 2) instead of the firmware (MC 8)

I ask because the firmware (MC 8) well with me, no lag , no lag with games, a long battery life.

So Do I have to download the firmware (MG 2) instead of the firmware (MC 8)
