[Galaxy Ace II General] Speedtrix:
**14-03-2014 Update.

A while back i asked about a higher os version for the galaxy ace 2 (GT-I1860), today while searching around i found a really stable android 4.1.2 version for our phone with touch wiz and a ui that works without the screen going black and blurry like the XXBM (oldest JB version for our galaxy ace 2)! i went to samfirmware and downloaded the latest one (mine is a January 2014 relese for the UK NA1)

its 100% better than the older MK2 version for mor info and to download the NA1 for the samsung galaxy ace 2 go to samfirmwares (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/)

and type:GT-I8160

I finally found the biggest flaw on the samsung galaxy ace 2 the lagg is caused by memory consumption and background processes go to developer options in your settings and set background processes to 4 and i garuntee youll see imediet effect if anyone can make or has a perminant way to set background prosseses to 4 even after reboot please contact me id be glad to find out how.

apps that slow down the jb:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Google-chrome,(google .inc) after the unistallation of google chrome ive found out that my drawer and home screens are extremly faster with transitions i think this is because of its huge memory needs for me 152mb witch is just a nogo for our ace II,

my keyboard is 100% faster and it can now keep up with my fingers during typing messages and text boxes. and on a whole no lags. :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

iron man 3 the official game (gameloft), i am a huge fan of this game and ironman and i also have it on my tablet but quite sadly its not worth the ram & space hogging on the ace II i mean come on 1.1 gig my phone is 1.2! :laugh:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Turbo launcher (PHONEMETRA), although it works perfectly fine on my S4 and tab but sadly its too slow of a launcher app on the ace 2 :(

switching off developer options when your not using them.

switch off wifi, bt, screen rotation, gps, sound, mobile data, 3g and 2g and sync when not in use as these do a great job at hogging battery
