[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Ryccardo:
Ultimate Gingerbread (rev.A)

Ultimate not only because IMHO it's the best ROM (why release it, otherwise?) but because it'll be the last stock GB-based ROM to be released...

A very big Thank You to @kyrillos13, over whose KYRILLOSv5 this one is heavily based.

Boot sound:

Stock, but next version might feature the Jelly Bean one...

And still 195 MB free on /system if you want to odex or something...

Download: Google Drive

Instructions:

Copy the zip to any SD card (USB storage only for "rooted" insecure kernel, external storage OK for CWM or TWRP kernels).

If not already on 2.x, repartition and flash with a 3-part firmware.

Flash a custom kernel. I recommend EX 1.7 with TWRP.

Wipe data/factory reset, then flash the zip.

If you do not have a data plan, turn off the power and remove the SIM until you can disable the mobile network.

Boot normally and go through the setup assistant :)
